Ji Xiaotang was watching Ying'er and Xuan'er having fun, and when he heard the sound of the door curtains, Qin Zhen walked in from outside. Eight??1                                                                                                            

?8    1   z?

"Father." Qin Ying saw Qin Zhen coming, so he hurriedly let go of Xuan'er, stood up properly, and saluted Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen nodded with a smile and walked over.

Xuan'er stretched out his hand at Qin Zhen in Ji Xiaotang's arms, and his chubby little body rushed into Qin Zhen's arms. The little guy was quite strong, so Ji Xiaotang smiled and handed him to Qin Zhen.

"I can't even hug him." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Qin Zhen happily took Xuan'er and hugged him in his arms. Xuan'er lay on his chest, pouted and kissed him in the face.

Qin Zhen laughed.

Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Ying to sit on the kang too. Qin Ying took Xuan'er to play, and Ji Xiaotang discussed with Qin Zhen about family matters.

"... Although my grandmother has not had any illness this winter, she is not as energetic as before, and wants to find a few old ginseng plants... If I have time these two days, I want to take Xuan'er and Ying'er back to see..."

"There are a few ginseng in our Curry, so I will take it for use first. I will then ask people to search for it north for future use. I also want to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Why not just go and go the day after tomorrow, I will accompany you mothers and others..."

"That would be even better." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Qin Ying hugged Xuan'er on the kang, and when she heard this, she told Xuan'er in a low voice with a smile.

"Uncle, uncle..." Xuan'er immediately shouted with joy.

"Xuan'er is missing his uncle." Qin Zhen laughed, reached out and hugged Xuan'er in his arms, asking him to call him Dad.

"Dad." Xuan'er shouted in a silence. Now he could call him dad very clearly.

"Good son." Qin Zhen was happy and kissed Xuan'er twice on the face.

The family was happy, and someone came in outside to report that Empress Dowager Han had hit someone from the palace.

Qin Zhen stopped laughing immediately, only Xuan'er was still giggling.

"Who is here? Come in quickly." Ji Xiaotang gave the order.

The call from Empress Dowager Han was still General Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang came to deliver old ginseng to Ji Xiaotang.

"... Yesterday, the destiny went to the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. I don't know who said that the Empress Dowager only knew. The years have not been good, and there are fewer good things, and I can't buy them with silver. However, the old lady of the Ji family wants to use old ginseng. There is no need to worry. As long as the princess tells the Empress Dowager, what else is there?"

Empress Dowager Han heard that Mrs. Ji was going to use old sects, and was worried that she would not find it for a while, so she specially found the best one from the inner treasury and beat General Manager Zhang to send it to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly stood up to thank him. While someone asked someone to take over the old ginseng, he thought to himself: What does it mean to obey the fateful wife? Mrs. Ji wants to use the old ginseng, so she beat someone and sent the old ginseng. Why should Queen Mother Han listen to the unknown destiny wife to know about the Ji family?

Queen Mother Han clearly arranged the eyes and ears. She would know Xinhuatang no matter big or small, and she didn't mind Ji Xiaotang knowing about this.

Empress Dowager Han didn't penetrate the An Prince's Mansion so easily, but she held the Xinhuatang Ji family firmly in the hearts of her hands.

Empress Dowager Han did not ask someone to send her old ginseng, but reminded her of this fact again.

Why did Xie Huaijin and Ji Xiaoyun die? It was really just because some rebels used Xie Huaijin's banner. Is it because of Xie Huaijin's identity?!

Maybe others don’t know this answer, but Ji Xiaotang is very clear.

General Manager Zhang sent the old ginseng and mentioned with a smile: "The princess has not entered the palace for many days, and the queen mother misses her very much. The queen mother asked the princess to bring the little prince into the palace..."

Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang to take Xuan'er into the palace to see her.

Empress Dowager Han treated her so earnestly, and Ji Xiaotang had to agree. Even so, Ji Xiaotang did not agree immediately, but turned his eyes to Qin Zhen with a smile.

Qin Zhen frowned slightly and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Ji Xiaotang immediately saw it and hurriedly winked at Qin Zhen.

"We were just about to enter the palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager." Qin Zhen received Ji Xiaotang's gesture and said to General Manager Zhang, "Please go back and report to the Empress Dowager. We will go to the palace to see her tomorrow."

The errand was so smooth. Manager Zhang was very happy, and sat down for a while, then said goodbye and left.

"I have been born with so many things, and I think the Queen Mother hopes that someone can have a good chat." Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen, with a profound meaning in his words.

Qin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded. He understood what Ji Xiaotang meant.

These days, Empress Dowager Han must be very happy. In addition to looking for Ji Xiaotang to enter the palace, she is afraid that she will also "share" her happiness with others.

Empress Dowager Han is getting more and more lonely.

Ji Xiaotang asked the imperial physician to see the old ginseng sent by Empress Dowager Han, and then beat someone and sent him back to Xinhuatang.

The next day, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang got up early and cleaned up. After breakfast, they took Xuan'er to the palace.

In the Cining Palace hall, Empress Dowager Han smiled and seemed to be much younger. When Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang leaned over to salute Xuan'er, she hurriedly raised her hand and asked the two to get up.

"The family doesn't have to be too polite. It's my blessing to be able to come to the palace to see me. Come close and sit down and talk to me."

Empress Dowager Han didn't say anything about Qin Zhen's arrival with Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang took Xuan'er forward and sat on the embroidery pedestal in front of Empress Dowager Han.

Empress Dowager Han took out a few errands that he handed to Qin Zhen to ask Qin Zhen, and Qin Zhen replied one by one. Empress Dowager Han nodded with satisfaction.

"It's done well. Only when you hand over these errands to your hands will I feel at ease. Zhen'er, thanks to your efforts to maintain the big and small things in the court now."

"It's the empress dowager who is wise." Qin Zhen smiled and flattered.

Queen Mother Han laughed.

"Have you seen it on Yu'er?" After laughing, Empress Dowager Han suddenly asked.

Qin Zhen immediately replied: "I've gone and seen it."

Queen Mother Han sighed, but her eyes looked back and forth on Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen as if she was unintentionally: "Yu'er's child may have been born in the wrong time, so she is not very lucky. She was always weak before and could not come out to see people. Now her body is said to be conditioned and she can come out to see people. As a result, such a thing happened in just a few days, and it is said that she almost lost her life..."

Qin Yu's life is not good, and this is the topic. Queen Mother Han can say it, but Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang cannot take on this.

"Fortunately, it's skin trauma, so it should be done for a few days. I heard that the Empress Dowager beat someone to see him and gave him a lot of things. This is the empress dowager's kindness." Qin Zhen said.

"Yes." Empress Dowager Han nodded, a little boring.

At this time, a middle-aged official came in to report to Empress Dowager Han.

Emperor Longqing knew that Qin Zhen had entered the palace and asked Qin Zhen to go to the Ganqing Palace. He had something to discuss with Qin Zhen.

Emperor Longqing's will. Qin Zhen could not resist the order. He looked at Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang nodded slightly to reassure him.

Qin Zhen stood up, saluted Empress Dowager Han, and followed Zhongguan to the Ganqing Palace.

Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Zhen's back and laughed out loud.

"What is the queen laughing at?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"What else can I laugh at?" Empress Dowager Han turned her eyes back and looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile, "I am laughing at you young couples, and I can't separate them for a while. Especially Zhen'er, for so many years, I didn't realize that our dignified Prince An is actually a passionate seed."

"My mother joked with us juniors again." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

Empress Dowager Han laughed twice and stopped the topic.

"I am the more I look at this child, the happier I am." Empress Dowager Han looked at Xuan'er in Ji Xiaotang's arms.

Xuan'er sat obediently in Ji Xiaotang's arms, playing with his feet, and was very happy. When he heard Empress Dowager Han say the word Xuan'er, he knew that he was talking about him, so he glanced at Empress Dowager Han and shouted twice.

"It's rare to be such a smart child." Empress Dowager Han's words came from sincerity.

"The Empress Dowager likes Xuan'er. Of course, everything about Xuan'er is good." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"Xiaotang, are you hiding something from me?" Empress Dowager Han smiled and looked at Xuan'er for a while, then turned her eyes to Ji Xiaotang.

There was still a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

"I don't understand what the mother means." Ji Xiaotang's eyes were clear.

"You kid, you still treat me as an outsider. Or..." The coldness in Empress Dowager Han's eyes became even more obvious, "Or you were also provoked by others, treat me as an enemy, and your opponent is also on guard against me..."

"My mother must not say that," Ji Xiaotang hurriedly stood up. His tone was also a little anxious, "My mother treats me with great affection. Others don't know, but how could I not appreciate it? With the mother and the son, we can have peace and happiness. If the mother had not been protecting me..."

Ji Xiaotang didn't continue talking.

"It's good that you know." Empress Dowager Han's tone eased, and her eyes softened a little. "If you think I'm in this palace and don't leave the house, you're really deaf and blind? I'm not going to talk to you, you're too cowardly. People are trying to get rid of Xuan'er, why don't you say anything and tell me?"

"Mother, you, do you understand?" Ji Xiaotang seemed a little surprised.

"You are hiding it so hard. Do you really think I don't know. Whose world is still the world?!"

"My mother..." Ji Xiaotang lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You came to tell me earlier, and I also have a suggestion that people will definitely not bully you for nothing."

"...I'm not trying to hide my mother's queen," Ji Xiaotang then raised his head and slowly told Empress Han, "It's really a secret method. The slut who took action took the blame and committed suicide. We have no real evidence. There is no evidence. Telling the mother's queen is simply worried and angry. The mother's queen is so angry that she has to take the mother's queen out for the sake of making decisions..."

Speaking of this, Ji Xiaotang paused again.

"If there is no evidence, what can I do if my mother comes forward? If you accidentally turn things around, you will make a comeback and implicate my mother..., the man has bad intentions towards us, but his final goal is the mother..."

Since Empress Dowager Han has already made the matter clear, Ji Xiaotang is also very willing to make this sentence clear.

Empress Dowager Han wants to come forward for her and Xuan'er, but she is the one who ultimately protects herself.

The corners of Empress Dowager Han's mouth couldn't help but twitch. She looked at Ji Xiaotang and said, "Xiaotang, I really like you."

This sentence seems a bit strange when it comes to it at this time.
