Chapter 757: Responsible Brother
The group quickly entered the Taisho Palace.
The two children, Hao'er and Zhan'er, were already very familiar with the Dazheng Palace. They first walked up to the regent and bowed respectfully to say hello. Their small bodies were upright and they looked very cute.
After saying hello, the two of them entered the inner hall in a familiar manner, greeted Her Majesty the Queen, and then looked at the baby sleeping on the bed with bright eyes, as if looking at a novel toy.
Since Zhan'er was born, Hao'er has been a distinguished elder brother. Every time he returns to Dazheng Palace after class, he will come over to watch for a while. Sometimes if Zhan'er is awake, he will talk to him - although Zhan'er is temporarily Still don’t understand.
But that doesn't stop him from being a good and conscientious brother.
Xuanyuan Qi's Zhan'er is younger than Hao'er, and her articulation is not as clear and smart as Hao'er. After all, for children who are babbling, one month is a gap, not to mention that they are almost half a year apart.
But in a few years, when the children are six or seven years old, this half-year gap will be negligible.
The weather was hot, and ice cubes were placed in the Dazheng Palace to cool down. After going to court, Rong Yu was still reading the files and memorials submitted by Xie Jin yesterday. The collusion between Mianzhou officials and businessmen was very involved, and it affected the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people. He could not be negligent. .
Even the crimes committed many years ago were dug up by Xie Jin, among which Zong Yushang worked hard. This is why Rong Yu made an exception and spared him.
He has always been generous in rewarding those who have made meritorious deeds.
Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao walked into the Dazheng Palace, greeted Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent, and asked for a few days' leave.
"Xie Jin traveled a long distance to handle the case, so he deserves a few days of rest." Her Majesty the Queen, who has always been gentle and considerate to her ministers, "passed the message to Xuanyuan Chen, asking him to stay at home to spend more time with his mother and wife, and then make good preparations for his appointment. , there is no need to enter the palace for these two days."
Xie Jin expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you, Her Majesty the Queen, for your grace."
Xuanyuan Qi and Chu Hongyi stayed in the Dazheng Palace for a while. They both found it funny to see their son reluctantly looking at the baby on the bed. However, they had to go home for dinner at noon, so the couple quickly took their son and left.
Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao understand better than anyone else that if there is no serious matter, they had better not get in front of the Lord and His Majesty. Even if something happens, they should finish the matter and leave as soon as possible, and do not disturb the quiet time of their Lord and His Majesty. , so the two of them did not stay too long, and soon left the Dazheng Palace, leaving only a family of four in the Dazheng Palace enjoying themselves.
"I'm going to Mianzhou in August, and I still have a month to rest." Nan Xi walked to the side of the imperial court and sat down next to Rong Yu. "Since the Black Obsidian Army has performed well, these two days Let Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao get together more."
Firstly, the overall strength of the Obsidian Army is strong, and they performed well in Mianzhou this time, which is in line with Rong Yu's expectations for Xuanyuan Yao; secondly, Xie Jin will go to Mianzhou in August, and the two will not be able to meet again for at least half a year. Juju can be used as compensation; Sanlai is now catching up with the summer season, and the training of the Obsidian Army officers can be relaxed a little, without being too strict.
The army also needs a little warmth. It would not be a bad idea to make up for the lost progress in the summer when the weather gets cooler. Anyway, Xie Jin will not be in the imperial capital by then, and Xuanyuan Yao will have no reason to be lazy. Why not concentrate on training the army?
Rong Yu leaned over and kissed her face: "Xi'er Shengming."
Nan Xi smiled slightly. Her Majesty the Queen, who had given birth to two children, had softer and softer eyebrows. Her whole body was full of gentle charm and maternal brilliance. A woman bathed in happiness would have an indescribable charm that made people feel happy. The more you look at it, the happier you become, and you can't help but be infected by it and make your mood brighter.
Rong Yu put down the file, reached out and pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her brow: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Going out for a walk?" Nan Xi snuggled next to him, "The weather is so hot, where can we go for a walk? Besides, Zhan'er is so young, do you have the heart to leave him in the palace?"
Two simple and realistic questions instantly dismissed Rong Yu's thoughts.
After a moment of silence, he said: "If Hao'er were older, we could leave Zhan'er to him, but forget it for now, he is still young and can't take care of his younger brother."
Hao'er, who was staying in the inner hall, was playing with his younger brother's little hand. He didn't know if he heard his father's words. A pair of obsidian eyes fell on his younger brother's little face, and he was secretly thinking about when his younger brother would be able to get out of bed and walk. Can you talk and then study with him?
He imagined a little guy following behind him, and the corners of his mouth raised a little.
The weather in June is getting hotter day by day.
The sun was scorching, the heat wave was blowing against my face, and even the occasional breeze in the air was scorching.
Unless there is something special, the dignitaries would like to stay in the house at twelve o'clock a day without going out. If possible, put a few basins of ice cubes in the house to relieve the heat. If not, try to find a cool shade of a tree as much as possible. It's better to stay there than to go out and get burned by the sun.
Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao are martial arts practitioners, and their tolerance to the cold and scorching heat is naturally good, but the bright sun is still something people can't avoid, so Xie Jin chose to stay with Xuanyuan Yao in Jinyuan to cultivate their relationship and compete with each other. The art of war and martial arts, each showing their own handwriting and calligraphy, can also be regarded as fun.
But most of the time I am doing some indescribable things. Exercise is good for physical and mental health.
Xie Jin has always been a smart person. Although he cannot blatantly guess the monarch's heart, he still has a delicate heart. At least he can roughly figure out the tolerance of the Lord and Her Majesty the Queen towards them without violating the bottom line. Therefore, by using This time he had the chance to help in disaster relief, so he insisted on keeping Xuanyuan Yao in Jinyuan for eight days.
It happened to be in the past few days that Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, who had not been to the banquet for a long time, received a message from the Ji family. The eldest son of Ji held a tea party at home and invited several young men from the imperial capital to have tea. In addition to Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao, Chu Xuanyi, Mo Lingan, Xuanyuan Qi and Lu Chonglin, the eldest son of Lu, were also invited.
"Why don't you have a tea party when you're not at home to escape the heat on a hot day?" Xuanyuan Yao frowned while twisting the post, "Isn't it that Ji's eldest son wants to have a relationship with you?"
Xie Jin is really in the limelight now. He is the only minister in the court who is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Justice at the age of 20. Even Xie Shoufu did not rise as fast as him back then. Except for Xie Jin's outstanding ability. In addition, the regent's preference was obviously noticed by the ministers, so it was normal for a young master from aristocratic families to want to have a good relationship with him.
Xie Jin lazily leaned on the bedside, frowning and thinking for a moment: "To be honest, I really don't know what his intention is this time. Ji's eldest son is not a student, so he probably has no intention of becoming an official... Of course, I don’t rule out the idea that he wants to use my relationship to get through the back door. Otherwise, as you said, wouldn’t it be better to stay quietly in the house on a hot day? "
Xuanyuan Yao walked to him, sat down on the edge of the bed, and threw the invitation on the table: "Are you going?"
"The Ji family is Princess Jing's natal family, so we still have to give this face." Xie Jin said, "The Ji family has been prosperous in the past, but since Mr. Ji passed away, the generations of these children are not as good as the previous ones. Otherwise, there is no need to climb up to me. Even my cousin Xuanyuan Qi can give them some support."
