The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 422 Mid-Autumn Festival (2)
Zhao Jing stretched out her hand to tuck the neckline for him, straightened the robe and said with a smile: "I have a body now, and it's understandable that the clothes are too small. How come Lord Hou has grown flesh."

Xu Si'an stood behind Zhao Jing and watched her busy. Hearing this, he simply hugged her from behind, put his chin on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "You have a big heart and a fat body!"

Fortunately, Zhao Jing is tall, otherwise she would not be able to support Xu Si'an, that strong manly aura swept over Zhao Jing's ears.Zhao Jing paused, then turned her head to look at Xu Si'an, who was also staring at herself intently with those dark and deep eyes.

Zhao Jing lowered her head and said, "I entered the palace today and met the Prince Regent."

Xu Si'an's expression was calm when he heard the words, but he let go of Zhao Jing and sat down on the chair beside him.

"Did the lord tell you about his conquest?" Xu Si'an asked.

"Speaking of it." Zhao Jing replied, turned to look at Xu Si'an, and asked him, "You already know?"

Xu Si'an nodded and said: "It was only decided two days ago, and the officials in the south also wrote a memorial, imploring the regent to go to the south of the Yangtze River to appease the people. The foundation is not solid, and people’s hearts need to be stabilized.”

Zhao Jing just listened quietly to Xu Si'an's words, and when he finished speaking, she didn't reply, but the girdle of the official robe she was about to hang fell to the ground.She lowered her eyebrows slightly, and came back to her senses when she saw something falling on the ground. While squatting down to pick up something, she said: "I don't know why in my heart, it's always up and down, it's just the court's business, No matter what I say as a woman, it won't work."

Seeing her dejected look, Xu Si'an stood up and hung up the girdle, helped her to sit down and said, "Actually, I also mentioned to the emperor about going to Jiangnan before, but the emperor didn't agree."

When Zhao Jing raised her head, she happened to see Xu Si'an's slightly frowning eyebrows, remembering that he is also a very stubborn person who refuses to listen to others' advice, so she tempered herself and said, "I knew you... must have had this incident before. Thoughtful!" Although she felt a little bit of complaint in her heart, she didn't know where to start, so she just twisted the veil and gave Xu Si'an a bitter look.

A little maid came in outside to spread the word that the banquet on the side of the water pavilion has been set, and the old lady, young master and girls have all arrived.

Zhao Jing didn't care to get angry when she heard this, she got up and said: "Go back to the old lady, Master Hou and I will go there now."

Seeing that Zhao Jing was not angry after all, Xu Si'an had a smile on his originally stern face.At this time, Zhao Jing also accepted some grievances, and turned to ask Xu Si'an, "Since it's settled, you always know when the prince will leave Beijing?"

"It should be within two days," Xu Si'an only replied after hearing the words: "The prince intends to go to the south of the Yangtze River in a low-level manner first, and then see how to deal with the next step when he understands the local situation. The fifty thousand troops who camped in the south of the Yangtze River before have already It is a first-level alert state, if there is any abnormality, you can go straight to the thieves, and when that time comes, you won't care so much."

Zhao Jing only heard Xu Si'an say this, and felt a little frightened, her heart beat suddenly for no reason.

The two of them left the courtyard of Mingde Hall, the moon had already risen in the east, and a big and round one was hanging in the sky.After all, Zhao Jing was a little pissed because of the Prince Regent's affairs. She only waited until she arrived at the waterside pavilion, and saw a room full of maids and women sitting in the room surrounded by Mrs. Xu, and the children had already sat in the seats Only then did she have a smile on her face again, and said to Mrs. Xu, "Greetings to mother, we are late."

Seeing the two of them arriving late, the old lady thought that the young couple had hid in the room again to be tender, her face bloomed with a smile, and she waved to Zhao Jing: "It's not late, it's not late, it's time Just right!" After the old lady Xu finished speaking, seeing that Xu Si'an was still standing aside, she just said, "Master Hou helped your daughter-in-law to sit down."

Zhao Jing has just become pregnant, and the whole family is staring at her belly!Xu Si'an helped her to sit down, and Zhang's mother on the side only smiled and said: "Madam's stomach looks sharp, it looks like a boy's bosom!"

Zhao Jing secretly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled when she heard this. At this time, she could only see a little curve when she took off her clothes, so she couldn't tell the difference between men and women.But the old lady liked to hear such things, so she just smiled and asked Qi Jiahui who was sitting next to her, "Sister Hui, it is said that villain's eyes can communicate with spirits, just take a look, will your aunt give birth to this child?" A younger brother, or a younger sister?"

Although Zhao Jing knew that this question was too unmaterialistic, but ordinary children would speak freely, and the elderly would not care too much about it, so she generously let Qi Jiahui take a look.

Qi Jiahui hugged Zhao Jing's sleeves and leaned against her body, stuck to her for a while, then pouted and said: "Auntie has both a little brother and a little sister in her stomach!"
