The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 155 Family
When he was taking Ah Yao out to play, the emperor summoned the five kings and their families to travel together.

On the same day, I heard that the five kings were going to bring Jin Shu and their eldest son Xie Xiang with them, so Sydney brought A Yuan and of course Yu Xiang.

The scenery on the hillside behind the palace is good. The green grass all over the mountains is soft under the feet. From time to time, there are various unknown small wild flowers in the grass. Looking around in the sun, it is uniquely wild and peaceful.

After A Yao and Jin Shu got their parents' permission respectively, they ran happily hand in hand.Yu Xiang also followed them to toss, Xueli saw the two girls sitting down on the spot when they were tired from running, and Yu Xiang also lay down on the spot very loosely, with her belly facing up to the sun, her two big front paws curled up with.

"Sister! Yuxiang!" A Yuan was bored by the nanny's hug, struggling to find her sister to play with.Xueli nodded, and the nanny protected A Yuan and went there together. After A Yuan left, Xie Xiang, who was one and a half years older than him, also ran away. Xueli was afraid that they would be uncomfortable, so she didn't teach others to follow.Looking around, she only let the sour plum and ebony go together.

Then several adults also sat on the floor, in a place where they could see the children but were not too close to them.

Sydney smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor held her hand and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Sydney smiled.

She sat leisurely with her knees hugged, her head resting on the emperor's shoulder.After a while, Dou Sha brought the sour plum soup, and she took it with one hand and drank it. After taking two sips, she looked at the children not far away, and told Dou Sha: "Take the snacks for them to eat first, and play more crazy later." I'm going to lose my mind, let's make some cushions now."

"No." Dou Sha left immediately.

There are several snacks in the food box, and there is a conspicuous large plate, which is a plate of rice crackers, each piece is a small piece of round, baked thin and crispy.There is another bowl of pouring juice that is kept separately in the compartment of the food box. It is still hot when it is taken out. After pouring it on the rice cooker, the rice cooker will naturally become hot.

This is something made by Sydney himself. I think there are seafood and vegetables in the sauce, and the sauce is not easy to cool. You can take it out and eat it warmly. It is much better than eating dim sum alone.

The emperor looked at Sydney and laughed strangely, "Nurse will take care of herself, so you don't have to worry about it."

She hugged his arm and rested with her eyes closed, wanting to say, "How can a nanny have a mother like me?" Suddenly, thinking of the relationship between their brothers, she changed her words: "No matter how close you are to outsiders, you can't have a family relationship."

Xie Zhaoqian was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what she meant. The cup of sour plum soup in his hand touched the cup of the five kings, but he didn't say anything.

The five kings looked slightly stagnant, and took a sip of the cup hesitantly, with inexplicable emotions in their hearts.

Xie Zhao sighed inwardly, it was indeed a gift.

The scenes of brothers having fun on Mount Ying in the past have long since disappeared, and now there is a clear distinction between the monarch and his ministers.When he really felt close, there were only a few large-scale palace banquets every year, and his younger brothers would drink him as if they had forgotten their identity, and he would drink as much as possible to save face.

But probably each of them knows in their hearts that this is different from the unscrupulous fun in the past. At that time, it was just a good relationship with each other sincerely. Now the feast is less true, and they deliberately let outsiders see that their brothers are harmonious. There are many ingredients.

This is a tacit understanding, a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers.

Xie Zhao thought about it, and smiled wryly in his heart.After thinking for a while, he took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to the five kings: "You take this."

The five kings were slightly stunned, and when they took it with both hands, they didn't know what it was at all. After reading it and flipping through two pages, they realized that it was an amnesty for He's parents. Talk to me directly, if you can be lenient, I will tell you naturally. Don't beat around the bush again."

"... promise." The five kings held their breath and agreed.The emperor's words were obviously unpleasant, but he couldn't hear any real blame.Wu Wang handed over the booklet to He Shi for her to keep. He didn't know what was written in it, so he didn't look through it much.

The emperor glanced at the five kings, and said: "The seventh brother asked Yi to go to the palace, so that I, the eldest brother, can take care of the fetus on his behalf. It's different from you sending brocade books in."

These words were straightforward, and the five kings blushed for a while.The emperor sneered, and said no more, the atmosphere would become tense again, he would rather be embarrassed with nothing to say.

After sitting like this for a while, the children over there finished their snacks and then ran after them and continued to play.A Yao and Jin Shu picked the small wild flowers around them together and got along very well, while A Yuan and Xie Xiang chased each other, their little arms and legs couldn't run fast but they ran happily.

Yu Xiang followed around back and forth, and then she probably felt that playing with these two gadgets was too boring, so she ran to Sydney.

It lay its head on Sydney's lap: "Wheeze."

"Are you tired from running?" Xue Li stroked its face and asked with a smile, Yu Xiang actually yawned.

Xie Zhao couldn't help staring at Yuxiang when he saw Yuxiang playing tricks, thinking that he wouldn't feel tired if he just played for a while, you haven't seen him running like a bolt of lightning in the dark in the middle of the night!

But Yuxiang ignored Xie Zhao, it lay on Xueli's lap and felt very satisfied. After touching it for a while, it stretched out its paws to touch Xueli's cheek. Lie down again: It's your turn.

"...Pfft!" Both the five kings and the princess couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.The emperor raised his eyebrows and scratched Yuxiang's stomach, and said to it while scratching: "Can you not embarrass the lion like this? Such a big one, you can rely on it if you say so, what about the majesty of the king of beasts?"

Yu Xiang curled her paws and opened her big eyes as if she was listening to him, and after listening, she grinned like she was smiling.

——This cheap expression is too irritating!
The emperor immediately felt that it must have learned from Sydney, rubbing a small fire when people are angry, but it will not make the other person more angry.He thought for a while with a sullen face, and suddenly remembered that the last time he went out to Yingshan with Yuxiang to go crazy, the two of them hadn't broken their minds yet. At that time, he teased her that she was Yuxiang's mother, but she was not willing to listen to it. coming...

Now!hehe!Ah Yuan is one and a half years old!
Not far away, Ah Yao and Jin Shu picked a lot of small wild flowers, and knowing that Wu Mei could weave wreaths, they stuffed them for her.The little girls sat together under the tree very quietly, but on the other side, Xie Yuan and Xie Xiang were a little impatient.

Xie Yuan is very angry!He just said that Yuxiang is the best, but Xie Xiangfei wants to say that the big wolfhound in his family is even better.Xie Yuan didn't believe it, so he said that your wolfdog would be eaten in one bite in front of Yuxiang, but Xie Xiang put his hips on his hips and said no, my wolfdog can help the father hunt, and Yuxiang is the prey in its eyes.

Neither of the two children would take a step back, and they just kept arguing with each other.Unknowingly led from pets to people.

Xie Xiang said: "My father is the most powerful! The wolf dog is very well trained! He must be able to beat Yuxiang!"

When Xie Yuan heard this, although he was shorter than him, he still stood on tiptoe and continued to fight: "Father is powerful! Yuxiang is stronger than wolfdogs!"

Then the dispute escalated.

Just now they fought over pets so that no one would give them back, which can be said to be just arguing, but now they are fighting over whose father is more powerful, and their moods will immediately change.But both children were young, and neither of them could give specific examples of "my father is stronger", so they just kept fighting.

Arguing and arguing, I don't know who made the first move, and they scuffled together in an instant.At first, the nanny thought it was a joke, but later she realized that she was really impatient, so she hurried over to fight.

——They were quarreling just now and they didn't dare to listen too much.They are fighting over who is more powerful, His Majesty or the Fifth Highness!Didn't they seek death for stirring up mud in the past?

The two children rolled into a ball on the grass, and A Yuan even copied the uneaten sauced crispy rice next to him and smeared it on Xie Xiang's face.When the nanny rushed over, it was somewhat late. Although the two of them were not injured, they were covered in mud and vegetable juice. When they looked down at their own virtues, they felt that it was the other party's fault!Stretching out their hands, they had to try again, and they were hugged by their respective nannies, helpless.

Then they both burst into tears!
When Xueli heard the crying, the nanny was holding the baby and was coming this way. The two nanny were separated by a distance of two feet, and the baby in her arms was still scolding each other.

"Hate!"

"You're the one who hates it!"

"You wait!"

"You wait!"

The quarrel attracted the girls who were enjoying themselves, and they ran over together to check what was going on, and coaxed their younger brothers, "Don't be angry, don't be angry!"

After that, A Yuan shrank into Xue Li's arms, and Xie Xiang sat next to his aunt He Shi.The two fathers who were still exchanging pleasantries finally had to turn their attention to their son. Xie Zhao stretched out his hand and hugged A Yuan to his lap: "Come sit here, father, your mother is pregnant."

"...Hmm." A Yuan twitched, raised his eyes to see Xie Xiang, and cursed again, "You hate it!"

……what happened!
Xie Zhao grabbed back A Yuan's little hand that pointed at Xie Xiang angrily, and taught him with a straight face: "Speak up if you have something to say! Don't curse!"

Xie Yuan twisted his teary face and looked at his father: "Father is the most powerful!"

Xie Zhao and Xue Li, who didn't know the previous situation, were puzzled for a while. On the opposite side, Xie Xiang roared: "My father is better than your father!"

Xie Ming covered his son's mouth with his hand almost without thinking!

After A Yuan yelled "You are talking nonsense", Xie Xiang, who was covered by his father, was unable to speak again, and the quarrel was temporarily broken.

Xie Ming looked at the emperor with a pale face, Xie Zhao took a deep breath, this kind of estrangement was somewhat unpleasant.

"Brother Huang..." Xie Ming's heartstrings tensed slightly, and he didn't dare to let go of his hand covering his son's mouth.On the other hand, Jin Shu reacted quickly. Seeing this, he ran to the emperor and said, "Uncle Huang, don't be angry! Brother didn't do it on purpose!"

How could Xie Xiang understand the twists and turns?When I heard that my father and sister didn't help me, I cried "wow" and said, "My father is the most powerful!!!"

For a while, the scene was about to fall into chaos!Xie Ming and He Shi were at a loss for a while, they couldn't keep his mouth shut!
Xie Zhao didn't know what to say, and it was wrong to help both parties—two children were fighting, what did he do?But it doesn't seem to work if you don't mix it, the fifth brother must feel uneasy.

Just weighing it, Xue Li took A Yuan back with a sullen face, and put it on the ground: "Sit down!"

A Yuan, who was in tears, saw his mother getting angry, and sat down pitifully.Yu Xiang, who was rubbing against A Yao, also sat down.

"Why are you arguing about this! There's nothing to argue about!" Xue Li just pretended not to understand the complexity of the two brothers in front of her, and concentrated on discussing the matter, "Your father and your fifth uncle do different things on weekdays. No one is so powerful! Do you want to be reasonable?"

A Yuan nodded aggrievedly, Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Everyone has many aspects, and you can't be better than 'who' directly. For example, your mother is better at cooking than your father, right? But teaching your sister to write, It's still your father who taught you well."

The one-and-a-half-year-old little A Yuan seemed to understand, but it was still a bit difficult for him to understand.But it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, anyway, the surrounding atmosphere is no longer so tense.

Xue Li glanced at them briefly, and continued: "And you are cousins, your father and Uncle Wu are a family, and you are also a family. If you have something to say in the future, do you hear me? If you quarrel again, mother will not let you Let's make some snacks!"

A Yuan hurriedly nodded and agreed to her mother's words, Xie Mingyu looked at the emperor in shock: "Emperor brother..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Zhao said quickly.He beckoned Xie Xiang to come over, and wiped his tears with a smile, "A Yuan loves to cry when he is more than one year old, and you cry when you are three? Don't cry anymore, do you like riding horses? Let the Emperor take you there instead."

Xie Xiang immediately nodded and said that he loves riding horses, and this quarrel was finally settled.

Seeing Xie Zhao sitting with Xie Xiang in his arms, and the five kings and his wife on the opposite side not daring to show their air, Xue Li sighed inwardly, feeling that the relationship between royal brothers is too delicate.In fact, this is obviously a trivial matter, but each of them is used to being nervous, so they don't know how to deal with it for a moment.

In terms of this, these people who are above ten thousand people are really not as good as ordinary people.Ordinary people's first cousins ​​fight and quarrel, but if there is no serious injury, the sentence "children are not sensible" will pass.But when it comes to them, there are too many worries.

She rubbed her belly unconsciously.

There will be another child, and the three children under her knees will be...

She must not want them to be so divided!It's so uncomfortable to watch!

Soon it will be August.

In Luo'an Palace, Seventh King Xie Han received a letter from the emperor, saying that he would return to the palace in September to visit his mother.

In fact, Xie Han knew in his heart that based on the previous relationship, the emperor might not really "visit the queen" when he came back.But at least this meaning must be achieved. It is really inappropriate for the queen mother to be ill and the emperor to ignore her in the palace for a long time.

To Xie Han's surprise, the letter came with a lot of crabs that arrived in a hurry, and also attached a note written by the emperor's brother: Let's share it with the future brothers in Luo'an.

Why did he suddenly think of this...

When Yu Jia was not in Luo'an, many seasonal ingredients that would normally be tributed to the palace would be diverted and delivered directly to where Yu Jia was.In this way, although Luo'an is not without these things, they are always worse than those in Gongjin Palace.But the clansmen are just used to it. After all, firstly, they don’t lack this kind of stuttering, and secondly, it’s normal for the best things to go with the emperor. No one can say anything.

Seeing that Brother Huang was thinking about his brothers all of a sudden, Xie Han felt uneasy for a while, and then felt very uncomfortable.

He sighed, and arranged for the palace servants to send the crabs directly to various prefectures so that there would be no delay, and if the delay was too long, many people would inevitably die.

Then let people steam a few of them first and send them to Changle Palace.

Brother Huang values ​​friendship, Xie Han can more or less feel that even though the brothers are not close enough these years, Brother Huang will often help them inadvertently.But compared to the relationship between brothers, the relationship between mother and child is...

Xie Han shook his head, turned around and returned to Changle Palace.The Empress Dowager was half-sitting and resting on the couch, when she heard his footsteps, she asked him without opening her eyes: "Your imperial brother has written again?"

"...Yes." Xie Han lowered his head, and after thinking it over and over again, he felt that it was better to say it first, "Brother Huang said that he will return to Luo'an in September, come... to see the queen mother."

The hall was quiet for a while, and the Queen Mother frowned slightly: "The Ai family heard that the Ruan family next to him is pregnant again?"

Xie Han's heart trembled, he did not dare to answer hastily, and bowed his head in silence.

The queen mother said: "This woman, when she is pregnant, is the most inseparable from her husband. It is not easy to conceive in October, and it is the easiest to think wildly at this moment. How can he abandon Ruan at this moment? My family sees Ah...he's just being polite, and he'll have to find an excuse. That's fine, that's fine."

Xie Han couldn't figure out what the queen mother was thinking for a while.

The last sentence is still the same as usual, as usual, he is at odds with the emperor brother.But the first two sentences, why do they seem to be soft-hearted and unwilling to make Xueli feel wronged?
He couldn't make up his mind, he hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward, as if he hadn't heard the last sentence, and asked her: "Then...there is the minister to call the emperor back? Tell him not to come, or bring Ruan with you return?"

In fact, the meaning in the letter of the emperor's brother was to bring Sydney back with him, but Xie Han felt that it would be good to treat her after visiting his mother first.
