The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 128 Undressing (2)
Xu Si'an didn't put on a cloak when he got off the car, and it was a bit cold to just stand in the wind.Zhao Jing wanted to say, but felt embarrassed, so she blessed her body and said, "Then I'll leave first, and Master Hou should go back earlier."

"I'll leave when you get to the door." He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart and his chin raised slightly, just like he usually talks to his generals.Looking down at Zhao Jing like this, her eyes are so sharp that there is no concealment.

Zhao Jing lowered her head, turned around, and walked into the alley. The lantern on the wall flickered dimly, blurring her figure, and the wind rustled her cloak. She rolled up her sleeves, and her steps became more brisk.

Xu Si'an watched her back getting farther and smaller, until she stood under the eaves of his house, then he turned around, shivered by the cold wind, cleared his throat and got into the car.

Zhao Jing was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, but she withdrew her hand after thinking for a while. She took a few steps back, glanced sideways at the intersection, saw that Xu Si'an's carriage had already left, then went to the door again, and knocked lightly. several times.

"Here we come! Is the girl back?" Yuan's familiar voice came from the yard, Zhao Jing felt warmed up, and walked in following the sound of the door opening. Unexpectedly, the house was still lit at this hour. transparent.

"Sister-in-law, are there any guests at home? Why aren't you asleep at this hour?" Zhao Jing asked while entering the door with Yuan Shi.

Yuan Shi smiled awkwardly, and whispered into Zhao Jing's ear: "Originally, your brother didn't want them to come in, but he didn't dare not let them in."

Before Zhao Jing understood what she meant, the door of the main room opened with a creak, and the little emperor Zhou Xu rushed out, stood under the eaves, looked at Zhao Jing, and said with tears in his eyes: "Auntie, I finally see you!" it's your turn!"

"Emperor..." Zhao Jing was so scared that she almost called out to the emperor. Seeing the silence around her, she hurriedly lowered her voice, went up to her and whispered, "Your Majesty, why did you leave the palace? Who brought you out?" Is it Xiao Fuzi? He is too courageous, can the Empress Dowager forgive him?"

The emperor didn't care about other things, he hugged Zhao Jing in his arms, put his chin on her shoulder and said: "The queen mother doesn't know, I saw my aunt, I will go back in a while."

Zhao Jing raised her head at this moment, and saw Wei Mingzhen leaning against the door frame bored with his eyes drooping.

"Uncle Guo, you are the emperor's uncle after all, how can you let the emperor mess around? If something happens to this thing, who can afford it?"

Wei Mingzhen blinked, and turned to look at Zhao Jing: "You don't call my country's uncle, you don't call him the emperor, who knows who we are? I'm just a citizen of the capital who brought his nephew out to enjoy the lanterns."

Zhao Jing shook her head, speechless, she gently pulled Zhou Xu's hand away, looked up and down: "The emperor has grown taller again."

"Auntie, you've lost weight." When the little emperor hugged Zhao Jing, he felt that her waist seemed to be thinner than before. She used to have an oval face, but now she has an oval face.

In fact, when the little emperor first stepped into this house, he had already guessed something.He has never been out of the palace, so he doesn't know what kind of life the people outside the palace live.He thought that everyone was born with a big house to live in and white rice to eat.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and sit inside, it's cold outside." Zhao Jing dragged Zhou Xu into the room, and saw Zhao Da Niu and Zhao Erhu sitting in the corner with small stools, looking at the little emperor curiously.Zhao Yong didn't make a stool, he just squatted on the ground, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

"Your Majesty, sit down." Zhao Jing pulled Zhou Xu to sit down on the main seat, then turned to Zhao Yong and said, "Brother, sit down too, isn't it tiring to squat like this?"

"I, me, the emperor, the emperor, where is the place for me and my sitting?" Zhao Yong couldn't articulate what he said nervously, and Zhao Jing just smiled and said: "If you dare not sit, then you can burn it." A pot of hot water is here, and I will make a cup of hot tea for the emperor."

The emperor came, and both Zhao Yong and Yuan Shi were stupefied. Not to mention hot tea, Yuan Shi could hardly hold back his nervousness, and it took him half a day to put on the charcoal stove.

"That, that's good, I, I can go out..." Zhao Yong leaned forward and went outside, as if walking like this, he could really be considered a dwarf.

It was windy outside, Zhao Jing closed the door, and sat in the living room talking to Zhou Xu.

"Your majesty, sit down for a while and go back to the palace. This is where you came from." Zhao Jing couldn't help being happy in her heart, but she didn't say it out of her mouth. She went to the room to get some good tea that she usually didn't want to drink. , went to the kitchen to heat the teacup, and made a cup of tea.

"I just want to see how you are outside. You always want to go out of the palace. I think it's better outside than in the palace!" Zhou Xu glanced at the bare house, and really didn't think it was any better than inside the palace. go?
"It's not like that. The palace is the emperor's home, and this is the servant's home. You can't stop going home just because your family is poor. Do you think so?"

Zhou Xu couldn't argue with Zhao Jing's reasoning. Listening to the same thing, Zhou Xu waved his hand and said, "Okay, aunt, I came out after a long time, and you're going to scold me again."

Zhao Jing narrowed her eyes and laughed, and served the tea herself: "If the emperor doesn't want to hear these words, after drinking this cup of tea from the servant, go back to the palace earlier!"
