Xuan'er flattened her mouth and then burst into tears. Her two fat and short legs kicked hard. №

Empress Dowager Han didn't seem to have expected Xuan'er to be so strong and cry so loudly, so she was shocked. However, Ji Xiaotang seized the opportunity and took Xuan'er over "easy".

Xuan'er entered Ji Xiaotang's arms, but she still cried endlessly. A small face turned red in tears instantly.

Empress Dowager Han had to let go.

As soon as Empress Dowager Han's hand left, Xuan'er's crying stopped immediately. Her big eyes looked at Ji Xiaotang, but there was no tears in her eyes.

Empress Dowager Han's hand was loosened, but her eyes remained on Xuan'er's face. She seemed a little embarrassed.

"Xuan'er is not very comfortable today..." Qin Zhen immediately stepped forward and said. He said this. They would have an excuse to leave early in a while. And if he didn't want Xuan'er to come to the palace to see Empress Dowager Han in the future, there would be a reason.

In order to protect his son, Qin Zhen seemed to plan to use the old method that Qin Lin had used.

"Don't be angry with my mother," Ji Xiaotang explained to Queen Mother Han with a smile, "Xuan'er sometimes has a little temper."

When Empress Dowager Han heard Ji Xiaotang say this, she also laughed.

"...Xuaner looks like this, it is actually 70% or 80% similar to his grandfather..." Empress Dowager Han said this in looking at Xuaner's face.

Now Xuan'er has grown up, and her appearance combines the advantages of Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen. Queen Mother Han said that he looks similar to Qin Zhen's father, which seems to be correct.

The appearance and stature of the three brothers Longqing, Qin Lin and Qin Zhen are similar to those of the late emperors.

However, this sentence was said by Empress Dowager Han, and it seemed that there were other meanings, which were quite substantial.

"My mother said it must be right." Ji Xiaotang immediately responded with a smile, "People who have seen Xuan'er said that he looked like his father was carved out of the same mold."

Empress Dowager Han smiled at Ji Xiaotang.

"...These big eyes are clearly black and white, and are full of spiritual energy..., why, what is Xuan'er talking about? Oh... It seems that Xuan'er must have spoken early in the future."

"Weak and able to speak..." Empress Dowager Han chanted and stopped.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but feel aroused.

Although Empress Dowager Han only recited one sentence, this sentence was soon passed on. It was spread very widely. The illiterate and illiterate maids in the palace might be ignorant, but the well-educated people in the court knew the origin of this sentence.

"Huangdi is the son of Shaodian, whose surname is Gongsun, and whose name is Xuanyuan. He was born with a god, weak and able to speak, young and compassionate, long and smart, and mature and smart."

Ji Xiaotang naturally knew the source of this sentence, and she immediately understood the intention of Empress Dowager Han.?                                                  �

It seems that Empress Dowager Han saw Qin Zhen’s plan and wanted to further intensify the conflict between Qin Zhen and Qin Lin. Empress Dowager Han was holding Xuan'er and baking them on the fire.

Ji Xiaotang understood in his heart, but he refused to show his face at all.

"I heard people say that children are good to their own families, but I still don't believe it. Today, I really believe it when I see my mother treat Xuan'er like this. My mother's grandson is naturally the best child in the world. It is impossible to say anything good. Other people's children are absolutely not as good as that." Ji Xiaotang smiled happily.

"The Empress Dowager loves you very much. I'm afraid that the child will be too young to suppress it..." Qin Zhen also said immediately.

"Hey..." Empress Dowager Han waved her hand immediately, "That's how ordinary people raise children, such as rough children, and a lowly name, and we don't need those in our family. What kind of blessings are there in this world that our children can't suppress!"

What Empress Dowager Han said was extremely powerful.

"What the Queen Mother said is indeed good, but this sentence is more suitable for Your Majesty's Longzi. As for Xuan'er, we only hope that he can live a long life and be safe until he grows old." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

The smile on Empress Dowager Han's face suddenly became a little stiff.

Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen seemed to not notice it.

Ji Xiaotang's words were not wrong. And it can be said that it was very appropriate, except for one fact, that is, Emperor Longqing had no descendants and would not have any descendants.

However, although this is a fact, Empress Dowager Han has always concealed it and never admitted it.

Ji Xiaotang's words poked the pain of Empress Dowager Han. Ji Xiaotang herself knew that she said it on purpose. She had had enough of Empress Dowager Han today, and if she didn't do this, she still didn't know what Empress Dowager Han would say next.

Sure enough, after Empress Dowager Han calmed down, she no longer said any exaggerated praise to Xuan'er.

A palace maid came forward and exchanged hot tea for Queen Mother Han, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen.

"This is the Wuyi Rock Tea I just sent, and it tastes pretty good." Empress Dowager Han said to Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen.

Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen both picked up teacups.

Queen Mother Han glanced at the two of them, and the teacup was just touched by the lips and put it down.

Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen also put down the teacup immediately, and Qin Zhen proposed to say goodbye.

Empress Dowager Han glanced at the two of them but did not stop him.

"...I am lonely in the palace. Xiaotang, you should always take Xuan'er to see me in the future. Don't always wait for me to summon you. You have to push yourself to come here for this trip." At the end, Empress Dowager Han added a meaningful sentence, "...From me far away, it's just the knowledge of a small family and cannot make a big difference. You are different, Xuan'er is also different."

Returning to Prince An's Mansion from the palace, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen sat in the house in the Yichun Hall, and Xuan'er was also carried down by the wet nurse to sleep.?◎?§

The couple looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Qin Zhen smiled bitterly and immediately stopped his smile.

"Xiaotang, do you have..." Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang anxiously.

"Don't worry, Prince," Ji Xiaotang raised his sleeves and let Qin Zhen look at it.

Ji Xiaotang was made of high-quality makeup and was wearing court clothes that entered the palace. It was not only very gorgeous, but also very complex with three layers inside and three layers outside.

The sleeves of her clothes outside were not unusual, but the sleeves inside were a little wet and moist. Qin Zhen looked at it, reached out and took out an object that looked like a cloth bag and a leather bag from Ji Xiaotang's sleeve.

There was obviously something in the object, and it was liquid.

"The prince told me, why would I be careless? This was done by Madam Cheng for me on purpose." Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen with a smile.

Qin Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I should be relieved to have Madam Cheng beside you."

Madam Cheng has been in the palace for many years and is familiar with the people and affairs in the palace. These tricks have been learned from the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Ji Xiaotang also asked Qin Zhen with concern.

"Xiaotang, have you forgotten that I grew up in the palace since I was a child?" Qin Zhen said with a smile.

Both husband and wife felt relieved. Although both understood that the Empress Dowager Han summoned them to the palace this time to further intensify the conflict between Prince An's mansion and Prince Su's mansion, the two were also wary of Queen Mother Han's mansion.

With Empress Dowager Han's attitude towards Xuan'er today, it will only take a while for her to attack Ji Xiaotang.

Of course, I still have to worry more now, which is the hostility of Prince Su's mansion towards Xuan'er.

But even without the play of Empress Dowager Han today, Xuan'er's significance to Prince Su's Mansion would not have any substantial changes.

Qin Zhen now completely believed Ji Xiaotang's judgment. Empress Dowager Han went this time, not to attack Xuan'er, Ji Xiaotang was also very safe. Empress Dowager Han's actions this time were the main intention of forcing Qin Zhen.

Empress Dowager Han was very dissatisfied with Qin Zhen’s performance during this period. She should have realized Qin Zhen’s intentions.

"It seems that I have to do one or two more things." Qin Zhen thought for a while before saying.

"It can only be like this." Ji Xiaotang nodded in agreement. Even if he acted, he would act realistically and credibly. Empress Dowager Han was a suspicious person. Prince An's mansion had already gained a lot of benefits in secret. If he really wanted to stay out of the matter, not only did Empress Dowager Han and Qin Lin not allow it, but it was also completely impossible.

The couple reached an agreement on their opinions, so they lowered their voices and discussed what to do.

...

Cining Palace

Seeing Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen leave with Xuan'er, Empress Dowager Han slowly closed the smile on her face. Her eyes fell on the two tea cups beside her. The two tea cups were used by Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang.

Yang Pianpian saw it next to him, so he hurriedly walked up and checked both teacups.

Most of the tea left in the teacup was left, and Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen did not drink much.

Empress Dowager Han nodded, her face unpredictable, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

In the past, at this time, the people who served around her were all generous and dared not speak, let alone speak. Only Madam Fang could guess what Empress Dowager Han thought at this time and dared to speak at this time. But now Madam Fang has no one to see anyone in her life and no corpse to see her.

Fortunately, another person appeared in Cining Palace who could almost replace Madam Fang.

Yang Pianpian approached Queen Mother Han gently, leaned down, and whispered a few words in Queen Mother Han's ear.

She also checked the two tea cups that Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang used before, and only half a cup of tea left. Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen both drank the previous tea.

Empress Dowager Han glanced at Yang Pianpian and his face cleared a little.

"Pianpian, you saw that child Xuan'er too today?" Empress Dowager Han suddenly asked Yang Pianpian, and his expression had become very gentle.

"Yes, I am standing behind the Empress Dowager. I can see the little prince of Prince An's mansion very clearly." Yang Pianpian lowered his eyelids, his eyes flashed slightly, but he looked down and pleasing to his eyes, very respectful and gentle.

"In your opinion, how about Xuan'er's child?" Queen Mother Han asked again.

Yang Pianpian couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

For such a question, I really shouldn't ask her a palace maid, even if she is now the confidant of Empress Dowager Han. It is unlikely that Empress Dowager Han would value her view of Qin Xuan.

Could it be that Empress Dowager Han is also lonely?

Such an answer may be a bit incredible, but Yang Pianpian thinks this is the correct answer.

Others may not know it, but because she served by Empress Dowager Han almost always, she knew in her heart that since Madam Fang disappeared, Empress Dowager Han was really lonely.

"How dare I evaluate the young prince of the Prince An's mansion? But the Queen Mother really has to ask, according to my opinion, the young prince of the Prince An's mansion is a very likable child. Although she is still young, she can also see that she will definitely be a smart and handsome person in the future." Yang Pianpian thought for a while, and then softly answered Empress Dowager Han's question.

Such words are nothing, because they have no practical meaning. Such words are almost applicable to all children in the world.

And as Yang Pianpian expected, Empress Dowager Han just wanted a tactful person to speak casually, and did not really expect her to express any insightful opinions.

"You're right." Empress Dowager Han nodded slightly, "...My parents are all beautiful people, and this child is not bad even when he grows up... His eyes are clever and strong, and his arms and legs are quite strong..."
