Chapter 128 Smart and Brave (5)
Qing Que felt guilty, "Uh, do I have any?" The teacher laughed unkindly: "Come on, I wanted to fool me, but it was exposed, right? Girl, I don't know what happened when you were three or four years old, but someone I know."

Shi Niang and Ying Niang glanced at each other, their eyes were tacit understanding: girl (Niu Niu), you want to treat our little princess harshly, there is no way!What happened to the little princess being naughty?You didn't worry about it when you were a child.

"Auntie, grandmother!" Seeing these two big backers, Xiao Gan ran over lightly from behind the pine trees.Shi Niang and Ying Niang were talking to Qing Que a moment ago, but when they saw Xiao Gan, their expressions changed instantly, as if they could pinch water out of tenderness, "Is the little princess scared?" dare.

"No!" Xiao Gan giggled, and gave Qing Que a happy and demonstrative look.

Qing Que stared at her little daughter speechlessly for a long while, then raised her head to the sky and sighed in her heart.With Xiaogan, General Qi Qingque is really an old man, and his glory is no longer.

Shi Niang and Ying Niang agreed, "The little princess must be very tired after being chased and intercepted by her mother." One by one, they took Xiao Gan and sat down in the Fubiting Pavilion.

After a while, Empress Dowager Shao was also surrounded by court ladies, and the saluting servants had seen her before.Xiaogan was bathed in the love of his grandmother, grandmother, and aunt, his face glowed, and he was very proud.

Mistress cleared her throat and looked at Yingniang, "Young girl's naughty things when she was a child, can you tell me and my sister a few more stories? If she wants to attack Xiaogan again, we will have something to say." Queen Mother Shao laughed , "Extremely! Tell us quickly, so we can gag her." Little Qingque, it's not that the aunt is not against you, it's because you bully the small with the big, it's outrageous.No, the offenders are outraged, your teacher, Yingniang, and auntie also dare to complain for us little ones.

Yingniang pursed her lips and smiled, "She is very sensible when she is sensible, and extremely naughty when she is naughty!" She told the story of Qing Que climbing trees, catching fish and fighting with her companions when she was a child, and the teacher's wife and Queen Mother Shao listened with great interest. .Qingque, you are still like this, next time I dare to be naughty, I can't control it too strictly.Whose children are not naughty, right?

Qingque looked at Shiniang, Yingniang, and Auntie resentfully, then turned around silently.Dozens of begonias are blooming like a brocade, charming and moving. A gust of spring breeze blows, and the petals fall like red snowflakes.In this situation, Qingque felt even more lonely.

The golden years have passed, and the scenery is no longer.

In Yangwuhou's Mansion, Xue Neng carefully held the decoction, smiling all over his face, "Yu'er, drink the medicine while it's hot, okay?" Qi Yu turned his head wearily, "No, it's too bitter." Drink it all day Those who drink medicine, are they annoying?

Although Xue Neng was always considerate, Qi Yu was not happy at all.A loyal and considerate husband is indeed rare, but if she only misses the romantic and handsome Deng Qi, Xue Neng's loyalty and consideration will be torture to her, endless torture.

Xue Hui solemnly married his beloved girl.After getting married, the two left the capital and went to the northwest frontier together.Xue Hui performed his military exploits in the Ningxia Army, and he is like a fish in water. He and his wife are also very harmonious, and now his beloved wife is pregnant.

Xue Neng was so happy to think that his youngest son was going to be a father, he wanted to wake up from his dream with laughter. "Ah Hui is going to be a father, what a wonderful thing." Xue Neng said cheerfully.

Qi Yu smiled, but the smile disappeared quickly.

Xue Yang had a good life in Nanjing, and gave birth to his fourth child last year, Brother Jin.Her father-in-law Deng Qi can be called doting on her, Deng Zhihan is still obedient to her, and the relationship between the two is getting closer day by day.

Seeing Xue Yang like this, Xue Neng felt very relieved as a father, "A Yang's life is good, it's better than nothing." Qi Yu was depressed in his heart and never thought about it.Ayang is far away from me, where should I go?
No joy is pure.Qi Yu felt sad.

In March of this year, Qi Zhen, the governor of Zhizhe and Xuancheng Bo, returned to Beijing triumphantly. The emperor led all the civil and military officials to the suburbs to greet him.The flags covered the sun, and the cars drove like clouds. The soldiers who had fought hard for many years on the southeast coast saw His Majesty the Emperor, and bowed down neatly, shouting long live.

In Zhejiang, Qi Zhen not only captured several big pirate leaders and beheaded many Japanese pirates, he also cleared up the order along the coast, sent official ships to patrol the sea, guarded regular merchant ships with reconnaissance, and attacked private ships and pirates.Although today's southeast coast cannot be said to be in order, it is not the same as the original situation where Japanese pirates and pirates were indiscriminately rioting. It is much more stable.

After presenting captives, sacrificing temples and other cumbersome etiquette, Qi Zhen brought his subordinate soldiers into the palace to receive a celebration banquet.The crown prince, the king of Chu, and the king of Liang came to toast their grandfather. Qi Zhen, who hadn't seen the children for many years, was holding a wine glass with tears of excitement in his eyes.

Empress Qi also hasn't seen Father Ying for many years, so she naturally misses her.After the celebration banquet, Qi Zhen was taken by the three brothers Xiao Cong, Xiao Ming and Xiao Yong to the Qingwang Pavilion in the back garden of the palace.In front of Qingwang Pavilion, Qingque led Xiaogan and waited for a long time.

"This is my grandfather." Qing Que told her daughter with a smile as she looked at Father Ying who was striding over.

Xiao Gan looked at Ying's father curiously, his grandfather looked like this, very airy!

Qi Zhen stepped forward to hug Xiao Gan, Xiao Gan smiled sweetly at him, "Grandfather!" It was strange to say that it was the first time she and Qi Zhen met, but they never saw each other, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Qing Que was elated, "Xiao Gan, you really have a spirit! I just saw Father Ying, and I knew he was a relative!" At this moment, Qing Que saw Xiao Gan much more pleasing to the eye.

Qi Zhen sat in the middle with Xiaogan in his arms, Xiao Cong, Xiao Ming, Xiao Yong and Qing Que surrounded him, asking about the situation after the farewell.Xiaoyong is the most belligerent, and his blood boiled when he heard it, "Grandfather, I will also fight Japanese pirates when I grow up! Don't kill all the Japanese pirates, at least leave some for me!"

"Last year you were still focused on fighting the Tatars, but this year you changed to Japanese pirates?" The emperor walked in with a smile and teased Xiaoyong, "If you continue like this, your elder brother may not be able to sleep well."

The younger brother always wants to take over the military power, the prince brother must not be afraid.

Xiao Ming said slowly: "Xiaoyong is like this, his elder brother can sleep peacefully, but his second brother can't sleep."

"His elder brother is far away in Ciqing Palace, so Xiaoyong can't bother him at night. His second elder brother lives with him in the prince's house, and it's close. When it's time to sleep, he often brings him out to discuss military strategies and ignores him. Will not work."

Xiao Ming's words caused a burst of laughter.

After Qi Zhen told the emperor and Qing Que a lot about Zhizhe's defense, the palace gate was about to be locked, so he left the palace. "Go back soon." Qing Que said with a smile: "Yingniang must be desperate at home, if you don't come back, she will become a husband-wife stone!" Qi Zhen smiled embarrassedly and left quickly.

Yingniang, I'm back!Qi Zhen galloped all the way back to Xuancheng Bo's Mansion.

Relatively sad to meet relatives.

Not long after Qi Zhen returned to Beijing, Qingshu also returned to Beijing with his father, mother, and Qinglin.Qingshu and Qinglin are married and have children, and Mo Erlang and his wife are the most simple. At this moment, they are really satisfied and laugh a lot.

When Qi Zhen and Mo Erlang met, the two brothers hugged each other and cried for a long time without any image.Qingfeng, Qingshu, Qinglin and others watched from the side, their eyes were also red.Ying Fu and Mo Niang held hands and couldn't finish talking.

That night, a servant came to the palace and sent piles of rewards, "The empress said, please take a rest first, and if you feel better tomorrow, you can go to the palace for a walk. If you want to rest for a few days, you can also Make it." The servant said with a smile on his face.

Father Mo was speechless, but Mo Niang readily agreed, "Don't rest, what are you resting for?" The servant happily agreed with them, "Then at the end of tomorrow's hour, the car will come to meet you."

"What are you picking up? Let's go by ourselves, don't bother Niuniu." After the waiter left, Father Mo muttered in a low voice.

Qingfeng and Qingshu both laughed, "This is my sister's wish, so you don't have to be polite." Mo Niang also laughed, "Why did you pick us up? It should be. Niuniu grew up on my milk, you carry her on your shoulders Grown up, with Niuniu, shall we still be polite?"

Mo Niang was full of words at the moment, and when the servants came to greet her the next day, she got off the carriage at the gate of the palace with Father Mo, Qing Shu, Qing Lin and others, and was so shocked that she couldn't walk, "This... How big is this temple..."

Qing Shu couldn't help laughing, "Mother, this is the imperial palace." Mo Niang couldn't move her legs at all, "Xiao Shu, I... I can't go." Qing Shu was in a bit of a dilemma, and four strong maids came over carrying a sedan chair , Please Mo Niang get on the sedan chair.

Make Mo dad happy, child mother, you still laughed at me last night, look at you, you are not as good as me!
When the group entered Kunning Palace, Mo Niang also stabilized her mind.After meeting with Qing Que, the smart and brave four brothers and sisters, it didn't take long for Mo Niang to return to her usual crispness, telling her own jokes vividly, Qing Que couldn't help laughing.

Father Mo squatted down and looked at Xiao Gan carefully.Xiao Gan also widened his eyes, looking at him curiously.Father Mo sighed, "It's so similar to Niu Niu! When Niu Niu was her age, she also looked like this." Qing Que leaned over and said courteously: "Father, I'm cuter than her! I'm sensible, but she's so fussy !"

Xiao Gan pouted, Papa Mo felt distressed, and complained to Qing Que in a low voice, "You are making a fuss too, don't worry." Qing Que was ashamed.

Xiao Gan smiled like a flower.

Qing Que hosted a banquet in the back garden of the palace to entertain Mo's father and mother Mo and his party. During the meeting, Mo's mother told jokes, "Second Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Lu met one day, and Second Aunt Li said, 'Maybe the empress in the palace is going to It’s extravagant, I said, she must be making pancakes every now and then!’ Sister-in-law Lu sneered, “What’s the point of pancakes? She’s definitely making dumplings every once in a while!”

Xiao Cong, Xiao Ming, and Xiao Yong have never heard these words, so they are not new.

Xiao Gan didn't know whether he understood it or not, so he smiled.

Qingshu is already a very calm civil servant, he speaks and acts in a very orderly manner.Qingque scolded, "I asked you to take your parents back to Beijing, but you just refused! You said that you must make political achievements in the local area before you are willing to come back." Qingshu smiled, "Sister, time is not forgiving, I will not Wouldn't it be sad for the boss to make a name for himself while he was young?"

You can't rely on her and depend on her because your sister is a queen.Men shouldn't rely on nepotism to get ahead.

Seeing his stubbornness, Qingque smiled and said, "It's up to you."

When the banquet was about to end, the emperor came in all his usual clothes. Everyone was very happy to meet each other.It’s just that Mo Niang was a little disappointed, “Is this what the emperor looks like? Why isn’t it shining like gold?” The emperor was wearing a blue uniform this time, unlike Mo Niang’s impression of the emperor on the stage, who was wearing a yellow dragon robe and a golden crown. The whole body is glittering with golden light.

Qing Que eagerly looked at the emperor, and the emperor was interested, "After a while, I will change into a shiny golden one, and I will show it to the elders." Sure enough, he changed into the Minghuang Twelve Regiment Longgun uniform, Pibian uniform, Wubian uniform, etc. Open Mo's eyes.

"My life is worth it." Satisfied, Mo Niang concluded with a sigh.

Xiao Cong, Xiao Ming and the others burst out laughing.It's really... rare to see Daddy's appearance of being helpless and frequently changing clothes.

The court discussed meritorious deeds, and Qi Zhen was granted the title of Ke Guogong, which was hereditary.Although according to his credit, he should be, but he is the queen's father, and some people in the court are concerned about the power of his relatives, so there is quite a discussion.Qi Zhen quickly resigned from office and asked to return to his hometown for retirement. He wrote sincerely in the memorial that because of years of fighting and multiple injuries, he was in poor health and could no longer serve the country.

As soon as his resignation letter was published, many pairs of eyes stared at the court, wondering how the emperor would deal with it.If the emperor approves, probably he is the real resignation; if he wants to stay, it is just a false resignation, deceiving the world and stealing his name.

The emperor approved Qi Zhen's resignation.Although the resignation letter was approved, he was not allowed to return to his hometown for retirement, "If you stay in the capital, the queen can also show some filial piety."

Qi Zhen resigned from all official positions and felt relaxed.The officials in the court were also relieved, and began to praise Duke Ke with a smile on their faces.

Although Qi Zhen couldn't go back to his hometown to retire as he wished, he didn't like living in the city because he found it noisy.Yingniang lived with him in Xishan Bieyuan, soaking in the hot springs from time to time, looking at the mountain scenery, feeling at ease.

During the Thousand Autumn Festival of Empress Dowager Shao, Yingniang was also on the list of court congratulations.She is the wife of the country and the mother of the queen. She is the most eye-catching among foreign wives, and even the princess of the United Kingdom seems to be overshadowed by her.

Mrs. Yang Wuhou was not feeling well, so she didn't come when she asked for leave.Empress Dowager Shao was very concerned, "Qing Que, is it okay for your aunt? Send someone to take a look." Qing Que whispered: "I sent the imperial doctor, but she ignored it. She didn't want the supplements and medicinal materials."

Empress Dowager Shao was stunned. Seeing Qingque's gloomy expression, she hurriedly stretched out her arms to hug her, and said with pity: "There is an aunt! Qingque, my aunt loves you!" Qingque was greatly surprised, "With Xiaogan, you will still Hug me? I'm flattered, I'm flattered." Empress Dowager Shao felt sour and hugged her even tighter.

One night in summer, Qing Que was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, and suddenly shouted in alarm, "Ah Yuan, come quickly!" Ah Yuan thought that something important was going on, so he quickly put down the scroll in his hand and ran over, "Niu Niu, what's the matter?"

Qingque pointed to the mirror, heartbroken, "A Yuan, I have wrinkles!"

With Xiaogan, it’s nothing; everyone’s empathy, it’s nothing; but with wrinkles, it makes people feel disheartened!

A Yuan held her face and examined it carefully for a long time before asserting, "This is a beautiful wrinkle!"

Wrinkles are still beautiful, the blue sparrow chirped and laughed.
