Chapter 84: Prince An's Mansion (2)(1/2)
Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen with a slight inquiry. Without Ji Xiaotang asking, Qin Zhen also knew what she was asking. "≤,
"I specially kept Ying'er until the end. I hope you and your mother can speak freely." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang this way, and nodded to the person serving next to him.
Soon, there were tiny footsteps outside the door.
The little girl tucked the curtains, and a girl in a goose yellow dress walked in surrounded by several girls and women. The girl, who looked about six or seven years old, had white skin, fair face, long eyebrows, almond eyes, and small cherry mouths, very cute.
The girl came forward and first met Qin Zhen, calling her father.
Qin Zhen nodded and asked the girl to get up, so he asked the girl to come to worship Ji Xiaotang: "Come and meet your mother."
Ji Xiaotang knew that this girl was the only bone and blood left by the Princess Qi, and it was Qin Zhen’s only daughter, Qin Ying.
Qin Ying was very obedient. He walked to Ji Xiaotang and knelt down. While calling his mother, he kowtowed.
Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up from her seat and reached out to help Qin Ying up. Qin Ying looked up at Ji Xiaotang curiously, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness in her expression.
Ji Xiaotang was also looking at Qin Ying carefully. Qin Ying was Qi Younian's niece. It was said that his nephew looked like his uncle. Ji Xiaotang almost subconsciously looked for Qi Younian's shadow on Qin Ying's face.
Qin Ying's appearance is somewhat similar to Qin Zhen, but there is indeed a shadow of Qi Younian between his eyebrows and eyes.
Such a pretty girl lost her birth at a young age. Mother Ji Xiaotang had no reason to feel pity for Qin Ying.
Ji Xiaotang took Qin Ying's little hand and asked her to sit beside her.
Qin Ying's behavior was obviously strictly educated and looked at it. Even though he was young, he was already like a lady from a noble family. Seeing that Qin Ying was not only shy, but also a little uneasy, Ji Xiaotang slowed down his tone and slowly spoke to Qin Ying.
She asked Qin Ying how old she was. She asked her what she did every day now.
These are the ones that Qin Ying is most familiar with. Even if he is a little nervous, he will answer smoothly.
Qin Ying told Ji Xiaotang that she was seven years old this year. She was born in the Year of the Rabbit and had already started to practice calligraphy, practice piano every day with the professors in the royal family, and learn needlework with the embroiderer...
Although he is just a seven-year-old girl, as the little princess of the royal palace, Qin Ying's life has been occupied by a full study schedule.
Ji Xiaotang raised his eyelids and glanced at Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen nodded, indicating that Qin Ying was right.
"About Ying'er's upbringing will be handed over to the princess in the future." In front of everyone, Qin Zhen called Ji Xiaotang the princess to show respect and solemnity. "If you think there is anything wrong with Ying'er's current arrangement, the princess will do it at her discretion."
Qin Zhen’s meaning is to hand over Qin Ying’s daily life and education to Ji Xiaotang for management.
Ji Xiaotang has complete rights to deal with everything Qin Ying has.
This incident was revealed to Ji Xiaotang earlier, or rather, he had asked Ji Xiaotang. Qin Ying lost his life~ Although he was raised in the royal palace, he would not be as good as a talented and knowledgeable mother who was as talented and knowledgeable as Ji Xiaotang, who came to take care of her growth personally.
Considering the worldly sensibility, Ji Xiaotang will take care of Qin Ying, but if he doesn't do it well, it will be thankless. However, Qin Zhen asked, and considering other factors, Ji Xiaotang still agreed. ¢£,
She felt that she was very close to the little girl Qin Ying.
Qin Ying talked to Ji Xiaotang for a while, and she had already relaxed. She was sitting there now, listening carefully to Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang. When talking about her study arrangements, Qin Ying's eyes couldn't help but lit up, and she looked at Ji Xiaotang expectantly.
Ji Xiaotang naturally looked at Qin Ying's expression and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
It seems that Qin Ying, a child, is not very satisfied with her own learning arrangements.
Even so, Ji Xiaotang pretended not to see Qin Ying's expectant eyes. She had to take a closer look at Qin Ying's matters. Everything was handled with the attitude of being responsible to Qin Ying.
It is easy to please and win over a child, but it is not easy to teach her sincerely.
This is a matter that should be done slowly, but it is not a big worry.
"Ying'er, where are you living now?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Ying again.
"If you want to be with your mother, I will live in Xiuyun Tower now." Qin Ying immediately replied respectfully.
Ji Xiaotang nodded and signaled Madam Cheng to take out the meeting gift he had prepared for Qin Ying.
Ji Xiaotang prepared a pair of white jade pendants for Qin Ying, and a small box containing two novel items that Master Ji San brought back from overseas this time.
The white jade pendant is an antique and is of great value, and the fresh things brought back from overseas can make Qin Ying feel even more novel.
Qin Ying bowed to Ji Xiaotang and accepted the gift, with an expression of joy that could not be concealed on his face.
"Ying'er, it's time for you to go to the professor's place to attend classes." Qin Zhen said to Qin Ying.
A hint of reluctance flashed in Qin Ying's eyes, but he immediately stood up, agreed to yes, and then saluted Ji Xiaotang in a regular manner. Then he retreated under the crowd of girls and nannies.
"Xiaotang, it's still early, I'll take you to see our palace." Qin Zhen also stood up and stretched out his hand to Ji Xiaotang with a smile.
Ji Xiaotang hesitated for a moment and asked Qin Zhen with his eyes.
Qin Zhen took her to see the palace. It was nothing, but holding hands, was it a bit too... unruly?
Qin Zhen laughed.
"Xiaotang, why do you have such concerns? This is not like you. In this palace, you and I make the decision, and you and I are the rules." Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile. He thought that Ji Xiaotang would not become a regular and obedient person just because of getting married.
However, Ji Xiaotang was so cautious and wanted to make an old-fashioned attitude, which Qin Zhen looked very cute.
In the An Palace, she and Qin Zhen are the rules.
Ji Xiaotang thought about this sentence in his mind for a while, and felt it was very suitable for his spleen and stomach.
In this way, Qin Zhen took Ji Xiaotang's hand and looked at Shinchuntang first.
From now on, the place where Ji Xiaotang lives. Before Ji Xiaotang got married, Qin Zhen specially sorted out the Soi Chuntang according to Ji Xiaotang's preferences, and deliberately separated the three rooms in the west wing and built a study for Ji Xiaotang.
There were many books in Ji Xiaotang's dowry, and Qin Zhen moved some of the books in the royal palace to come over. Now the study room of Shinchuntang is quite large.
Qin Zhen's arrangement made Ji Xiaotang's heart very much.『≤,
After seeing the Silky Spring Hall, Qin Zhen took Ji Xiaotang out and walked forward.
On the west road of the palace, Shizuochun Hall walked forward, turned over a wisteria rack, and then walked around a screen wall, which was Duofuxuan. This is the living room of the palace of An Wangfu. It is where Qin Zhen usually meets bureaucrats, subordinates and guests.
Not only that, Duofuxuan is also an exhibition hall for Prince An’s Mansion to display the items given by imperial gifts over the years. Duobao Pavilion is magnificent and full of all kinds of treasures.
Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang that what is placed here is not only the rewards from Empress Dowager Han and Emperor Longqing in recent years, but also all the rewards from the late emperor he received in the palace since he was a child.
Qin Zhen also explained several particularly meaningful rewards to Ji Xiaotang in detail, which involved many of his previous experiences, even Ji Xiaotang never knew about them.
Ji Xiaotang knew that Qin Zhen not only led her to understand Prince An's Mansion, but also allowed her to understand him more deeply.
After coming out of Duofuxuan, Qin Zhen took Ji Xiaotang to the middle road and took her to see the most important and solemn and gorgeous building in the palace, which is the Yin'an Hall of the palace.
The Yin'an Hall in the Prince's Mansion is opposite to the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace. It is the place where Prince An Qin Zhen handles major events and holds various important ceremonies. Yesterday, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen got married and worshiped the world in this Yin'an Hall. However, at that time, Ji Xiaotang covered his veil and saw nothing.
Qin Zhen took Ji Xiaotang to the hall and stopped in front of the prince's throne.
"Xiaotang..." Qin Zhen sat down on the throne while signaling Ji Xiaotang to sit next to him.
Ji Xiaotang looked at the person serving next to him. No one brought him to a chair or embroidered stake.
"Xiaotang, you are naturally sitting with me." Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile, then pulled her hand, and let her sit next to her again.
Ji Xiaotang understood Qin Zhen’s intention, but did not sit down immediately.
"What, Xiaotang. Don't you dare?" Qin Zhen asked with a smile. Ji Xiaotang can share the throne with King An, which means that the power and glory of King An's mansion are half that of Ji Xiaotang.
Perhaps, it shouldn't be said halfway. As Qin Zhen said on his wedding night, they will be one in one body and no longer separate from each other.
Qin Zhen's actions were also announcing such a fact to the public in the royal palace again.
Ji Xiaotang hesitated for a moment and smiled slightly: "Prince,... I'm better obey my orders than respect."
Ji Xiaotang followed Qin Zhen's strength and sat down on the throne.
She needed the power of Prince An's Mansion. She married into Prince An's Mansion. She was not helpless, and she did not intend to simply be an imitation princess who took care of her husband and children in the future. Qin Zhen's arrangement was exactly what she wanted.
Qin Zhen not only loved her, but also understood what she was thinking.
This is very good, it is really good.
Sitting under Prince An's throne, Ji Xiaotang was not excited. On the contrary, she felt calm inside.
Sitting down in Yin'an Hall, Qin Zhen gave the order, and all the officials in the royal palace gathered in front of Yin'an Hall in an instant, and went to the hall to pay homage to Ji Xiaotang according to the order.
That's right, this is exactly what Qin Zhen had arranged long ago.
According to normal circumstances, when the princess enters the door, she only needs to be worshiped by the people in the backyard. After all, the princess will manage the back house of the inner courtyard in the future. However, Qin Zhen was not only satisfied with this, but also arranged for Ji Xiaotang to sit in the hall with him and be worshiped by all the officials of the royal palace.
From then on, Ji Xiaotang could not only have full control over the inner house of the royal palace, but also instructed the officials of the royal palace to do business.
Qin Zhen also said the same thing in front of all the officials of the royal palace.
"In the future, the princess' order is the order of my king. If anyone dares to disobey and deal with it according to the law, it will not be merciless." Qin Zhen said it very clearly. These are all confidants who have been following him for a long time. If there is any omission in front of him, he will still think of the old love and fall into slight decline. But if these people disrespect Ji Xiaotang and violate Ji Xiaotang, then he will not even care about the old love.
Qin Zhen said it firmly, and everyone agreed in unison.
From then on, there was an additional master of the Prince An's mansion, who had the same power as Prince An's Qin Zhen.
Not to mention the An Prince's Mansion, even in the history of the Qin Dynasty, there has never been such a thing.
The officials of the An Palace had no objection. After so many years of operation, Qin Zhen's An Palace had become an iron barrel. Qin Zhen's today's order will be proved to be wise and correct in the future.
Ji Xiaotang is not only a qualified princess, but also a leader who is no less than King An Qin Zhen.
When the officials of the An Palace follow King An ascend to heaven, they will not only be glad that they followed the right person, but also be extremely grateful for the decision made by King An today.
When Qin Zhen met all the officials of the royal palace in Yin'an Palace, he continued to hold Ji Xiaotang's hand and came to the east road of the Prince An's mansion.
Jiashan Hall is the main building on Wangfu East Road. Qin Zhen usually receives relatives and friends and confidants here.
