Chapter 224 Ji Fuan's Background
Several children followed their master to class. They didn't know that a major change had taken place in their dormitory.

Now, people inside and outside the court are talking about why His Majesty is so confident in leading the army in person.

Because the Queen's soft knife is no less powerful than your Majesty's big guillotine.

Often before you know it, you've already seen blood.

Your Majesty has been away at war for more than a month, and the Queen has already sentenced as many as thirty or forty officials, ranging from second-rank officials to minor officials.

Many of them are descendants of meritorious officials of the previous dynasty.

In this matter of thoroughly purging the court, it was almost always the Empress who played the villain.

Not to mention other things, since the reduction of officials, the number of people has been greatly reduced, and efficiency has been improved.

There is a sword hanging around everyone's neck, and you never know when the sword will fall on you.

The carriage leaving the palace was large and magnificent...but also simple?

This was built at great expense by the former Qi Yaoxiang.

There were originally several small carriages connected to the side, like a mobile house. There were countless jewels inside and outside the carriages, and even the door curtains were made of priceless Hangzhou silk.

Rong Peilan had several small carriages nearby removed and installed with shafts, which turned into several luxurious horse-drawn carriages.

Rong Peilan had everything that could be seized from this carriage confiscated, and those that should be stored were put into storage, leaving them all for Your Majesty to use in expanding territory.

For the remaining bumps and potholes, she asked the craftsmen to nail another layer of thick boards.

Solid and simple.

The four children sat in the carriage, looking at their mother suspiciously.

Since coming to Yanjing, my father and mother have been very busy.

You can only see her when you eat.

can.

Today, mother took the initiative to take them out of the palace!
The most excited one was Ji Rongan.

He hasn't come out for more than ten days since the last incident, and he's been feeling depressed for a long time.

His eyes were shining and he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Wait a minute, let's go to Jufanlou to buy roast chicken first, then go to South Street Market to buy meat biscuits. There's also plum drinks on that street! The white-bearded old man in West Street Market sells the best candied haws!"

As he said this, he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

If Ji Rongan was asked what he had learned from the Grand Tutor, he would probably not be able to answer.

But what delicious food can be found in Yanjing? I guess he knows as much as his father, a native of Yanjing.

Ji Fuan listened to him muttering, her eyes sparkling, and she slowly smiled into a crescent moon, "Every time Brother Rong goes out of the palace, he brings me candied haws, which are as delicious as the ones from Zhaofeng."

Ji Sui'an pursed his lips and smiled, "Brother Rong, I am the only one who supports you. I have been eating the same thing every two days for a month. Now when I see you bringing me food, my face turns green."

Ji Qian nodded, "Fortunately you haven't left the palace recently."

Ji Sui'an immediately added, "If you want to eat it later, just buy it yourself. I don't want it!"

Ji Qi'an: "I don't want it either"

Ji Rongan looked at his second sister.

Ji Fuan grinned, "I don't want it either. I want Aunt Chun's mushroom stew instead."

Rong Peilan watched the children chatting happily, but her mind was far away.

They had long regarded Fu'er as their own child.

But now in Yanjing, there are many old people and many old things.

As Fu'er grows up, she will only become more and more like her biological parents.

There is no airtight wall in this world.

If someone makes a big deal about this later, it will only cause endless trouble.

What's more, when she invited Master Liu, she was already prepared for the Liu family to find out.

Since rumors in the palace are already flying everywhere, she might as well bring the child over now.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of Liu's mansion, the servants at the door were so frightened that their legs almost went limp.

The butler almost stumbled in to report the news.

When Master Liu and Madam Zhang came out in a hurry, Rong Peilan happened to get off the carriage with a few children. Behind them hurriedly came Liu Yongnan and his wife, Jin Wenyao.

Jin Wenyao's belly is getting bigger.

This was the first time she saw Jin Wen Yao since she came to Beijing. After ten years, the little girl back then has now become a mother.

"Your Highness, Liu Lianzhong, pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen, Your Highness the Prince, and Your Highness the Princess."

Rong Peilan gestured, and the female official beside her immediately stepped forward to support Tutor Liu.

"Taifu, there is no need to be so polite. Today, I am just the mother of my student."

Liu Lianzhong didn't know why the Queen came, "Your Majesty, I am not prepared..."

Rong Peilan shook her head gently and said, "Don't worry, Grand Master. I said that today I am only the mother of a student, and I have no other identity."

Zhang moved aside and said, "Your Majesty, please."

After Rong Peilan brought the children in, she hurriedly pulled the housekeeper, "Hurry up, let those with quick legs and feet and nimble hands go and clean up the flower hall."

The butler immediately ran away along the corridor next to him.

Rong Peilan didn't want to cause too much sensation, so she didn't say hello in advance.

But now it seems that there will still be chaos.

She turned around and glanced at Jin Wenyao, "Jin's sister."

Jin Wenyao immediately held her belly and bowed, "My queen."

Rong Peilan looked at her current mature and steady appearance, as if the lively girl from the past was still a thing of the past.

"It just suddenly occurred to me that it seems like we haven't seen each other for many years."

"Yes, about ten years."

At that time, she was just a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, and now she is about to give birth to her second child.

Rong Peilan said, "I didn't know in advance that you were pregnant, otherwise I would have brought you some nourishing food."

Jin Wenyao said, "Thank you, Madam. My husband has invited Chen..."

She was afraid that the Queen would misunderstand her when she mentioned her surname, so she immediately explained, "I am from the family of Imperial Physician Chen. We have the same surname as...but we are from different clans."

Rong Peilan knew who she was talking about. When she gave birth to Qi An and Sui An, it was all thanks to Miss Chen's help.

"I know, Miss Chen. It was all thanks to her. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand here peacefully now."

Jin Wenyao kept her head down. Even if they were close in the past, it was different now. "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune."

Rong Peilan knew early on that whatever he gained, he would inevitably lose something.

She lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly, thinking that by now, the Liu family's servants should have almost finished cleaning, so she raised her foot and continued to move forward.

Ji Rongan had looked depressed when he first saw that it was the Grand Tutor's residence, but now he looked curious.

In Yanjing, he had never been to anyone's home except the palace and Xinling Mansion.

Ji Fuan frowned and leaned closely against her mother.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but since she entered the door, she always felt that someone was staring at her.

When she looked over, the sight disappeared again.

When the group arrived at the flower hall, it had already been freshly swept.

Rong Peilan looked at Liu Yongnan, "Mr. Liu, I've heard from Sister Liu before that there is a loquat tree in the mansion, and it should be ripe now."

"They all grew up in Zhaofeng and have never seen a loquat tree or picked one."

"Please ask Master Liu to take them out to play for a while."

Ji Rongan's eyes were already shining, "Hurry up and go!"

Tutor Liu knew that the Queen had deliberately sent the children away.

"Nan'er, go ahead and call more servants to keep an eye on him so he doesn't fall."

Ji Rongan was no longer afraid of the Master, and said with a smile, "Master, don't worry, I'm very strong and won't get hurt!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away.

When Rong Peilan saw that the children had disappeared, she told Grand Tutor Liu and Zhang directly, "Fu'er is the child of Queen Xianhui, Sister Liu."
