Chapter 043 Farewell
Chapter 043 Farewell
The people in Weiyang Palace reacted quickly, and Wei Lang had been the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards for many years, and he was very popular in the palace, but the people sent by the Empress Dowager wanted to stop her, so the news that she was going to take Xiao Qiuyan away got through smoothly. In Xiao Xieyi's ears.
Without saying a word, Xiao Xieyi put down the unfinished memorial and rushed to Weiyang Palace. He can indulge the Empress Dowager in other matters. He will never give in on Xiao Qiuyan's upbringing, otherwise his son will be taught to raise him crookedly. Endless troubles.
The emperor arrived in person, and the chief eunuch of the Compassionate Palace had nothing to say, and after inviting Ann, he went back in despair and returned to the empress dowager.
After dismissing the people from the Compassionate Palace, Xiao Xieyi said to Wei Qing'er: "Qing'er, I have entrusted Qiuyan to you, and his future future is yours." Obviously, he tied Wei Qing'er and Xiao Qiuyan together. Wei Qing'er took care of Xiao Qiuyan, and she deserves the credit.
Wei Qing'er touched the head of Xiao Qiuyan, who was so frightened by the battle just now, and smiled gently, "Don't worry, your majesty, this concubine knows what to do." Why did Xiao Xieyi send Xiao Qiuyan so far away? The meaning couldn't be clearer. He didn't want the existence of this son to cause trouble for his future reserve. At the same time, he also wanted to keep Xiao Qiuyan's life safe and wealthy. Wei Qinger happened to be a person with no political ambitions. If you are comfortable, you should know how to raise Xiao Qiuyan.
"It's good that you understand." Xiao Xieyi nodded in satisfaction, and said to Xiao Qiuyan: "Qiuyan, you will follow Concubine Yi from now on, and you have to listen to her when you go out, you know?" Xiao Xieyi didn't force him to change his words immediately.
Xiao Qiuyan lowered her head and did not speak. It took a long time before she nodded gently.Wei Qing'er took his hand and said to Xiao Xieyi: "Your Majesty, Qiuyan is very obedient, she is not worrying at all." Lu Ruolan is so hateful, it is really unreasonable to have a son who is so obedient.
After talking about Xiao Qiuyan, Xiao Xieyi told Wei Qing'er to take good care of the Queen Mother Wei. Wei Qing'er smiled and promised to come down, and then asked: "Your Majesty, we still have two days to go. The Empress Dowager will come to ask for someone. What should the concubine do?" What should I do?" She was incapable of disobeying the orders of the Empress Dowager.
Xiao Xieyi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly hugged Xiao Qiuyan, "I will bring Qiuyan back to Qian'an Palace first, and when you leave, I will send her here directly." After all, he is the only son raised in the previous life, and he is about to part. For many years, Xiao Xieyi felt rather reluctant.
Wei Qing'er didn't say anything when she heard the words, she responded with a smile.The days to come are still long, as long as Xiao Qiuyan can go with her smoothly, she doesn't care about this day or two.Besides, Xiao Xieyi has a heart of pity for Xiao Qiuyan, and it is always a good thing for his future.
"Concubine Yi, goodbye." Xiao Qiuyan pursed her lips and smiled, then gently waved to Wei Qing'er.In Xiao Qiuyan's memory so far, he and Xiao Xieyi had never been alone together, Xiao Xieyi took the initiative to take him back to Qian'an Palace, he was very happy.
Xiao Xieyi smiled approvingly, turned around and left with Xiao Qiuyan in her arms.Xiao Qiuyan struggled uncomfortably in his arms, "Father, I will go on my own." When his mother was there before, he had to be respectful to his father, not to act recklessly, and not to be arrogant due to favor.
Xiao Xiyi was slightly afraid of his back, and said with a smile: "I know you will go, but I just want to hug you." Xiao Qiuyan buried her little head in embarrassment.Ever since he was a child, his father and mother had never treated him so kindly, but the feeling in his father's arms was really good.
Back at Zichen Palace, Xiao Xieyi still had government affairs to deal with, so she let Xiao Qiuyan play on the kang in Xici Room by herself.
When he returned to the palace early, Xiao Xieyi asked Gu Juncheng and Qiu Chi to go to Liangjian and Shuangpu instead of him. These two places were visited by Xiao Xiyi in his previous life. The situation in Liangjian is not bad. The river is strong, but it has not become a catastrophe.Shuangpu is no good, the rain is not very heavy, but from March to May, there are not a few days of clearing in between. The river bank of Lintao River has been in disrepair for a long time, and it cannot stand the long-term immersion, so the embankment burst , Inundated a large area of fertile land, causing countless casualties.
Therefore, before sending Qiu Chi to Shuangpu, Xiao Xieyi repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to overhauling the river lift of Lintao River, and to fix any problems immediately, otherwise it will be too late when the rainy season comes.Seeing Xiao Xieyi's stern face, Qiu Chi thought that he had the latest situation of Shuangpu, and immediately said that he would do his best to inspect all the rivers in Shuangpu. If there was any problem, he would come to see Xiao Xieyi.Qiu Chi has always been known for his strict personality and tough style. Xiao Xieyi is still very relieved that he has guaranteed the ticket.
After all, the 14th year of Wanchang was not a good year with good weather and weather. Floods in the south and drought in the north caused headaches on both sides.Floods are raging in the south, and Xiao Xieyi can make people prevent them in advance, or repair the river, or transfer the people. Although the losses cannot be completely avoided, at least they can be saved.There was a long drought and no rain in the north, so Xiao Xieyi was helpless. He remembered very clearly that in his previous life, the rain that relieved the severe drought in the north came after the twins were born, and it was also for the words "dragon and phoenix bring prosperity". best comment.
Because she knew the whereabouts of Gu Juncheng and Qiu Chi very well, Xiao Xieyi was so surprised when she saw the impeachment of Gu Juncheng.
This urgent memorial of six hundred miles was handed over by Chen Liangtong, the magistrate of Liangjian, saying that Gu Juncheng went to Liangjian, indiscriminately, and used his status as an imperial envoy to slash and kill, so that there was no one in Liangjian. A sufficient number of officials can handle errands.
Xiao Xieyi carefully read the paper back and forth three times, and he doubted whether his eyes might have read it wrong.
The situation in Liang Jian is good, and Chen Liangtong is also doing very well. In his previous life, when Xiao Xieyi inspected the river workers in Liang Jian, he saw that he did everything by himself, and he did things with reason and evidence. They went to the same Liangjian.
Before Gu Juncheng and Qiu Chi set off, the reason why Xiao Xieyi bestowed the Shangfang sword was mainly for Qiu Chi, because the situation of Shuangpu was indeed not optimistic. Before the side moved, Gu Juncheng made a move.
Xiao Xieyi sighed and planned to send another person to Liangjian to have a look. He still knew Gu Juncheng's character well. Not in a hurry, this kind of behavior of cutting off half of the officials of Liang Jian Mansion in one go is really not his style.If Gu Juncheng's name in this brochure was changed to Qiu Chi, Xiao Xieyi might still be able to figure it out, Gu Juncheng, it's really unimaginable.
Xiao Xiangyi thought for a while, and ordered Xiao Yanzhou, the eldest son of Handan Palace, to hand over the unannounced visit to Liangjian to him.When Xiao Yanzhou received the task assigned by Xiao Xieyi, he was pleasantly surprised at first, and then kowtowed to thank him. He really did not expect that Xiao Xieyi would appoint him.
After all, Gu Juncheng is a member of the Gu family. To investigate his actions, he must use someone who has no relationship with the Gu family.To be honest, there are not many such people, Xiao Xieyi chooses and chooses, and finally chooses the Xiao family's own people.
After talking about the business, Xiao Xieyi didn't send Xiao Yanzhou out of the palace right away, but asked him to go to Xifeng Palace first, saying that the weather was hot recently, Feng Qi couldn't go out every day because of her body, fearing that he would get bored, since Xiao Yanzhou entered the palace Come and see him.Xiao Yanzhou thanked him and turned to Qifeng Palace. He and Feng Qi are cousins, they played together since they were young, and they are much closer than Xiao Xieyi in terms of blood and relationship. He went to see Feng Qi, When I go home, I can report to Feng Wu.
After Xiao Xieyi finished approving the papers, it was already sunset. While ordering someone to pass on the dinner, he walked into the Xici room. Xiao Qiuyan was playing in it by herself, and she didn't make a sound for a long time. He was very curious, why did he play so well? In a daze, if it was Yuanyang, it would definitely not be so quiet.
Walking into the Xici room, I realized that Xiao Qiuyan was not playing. The small table on the kang was spread out with his half-written homework, and he himself had already fallen asleep on the kang, still muttering something in his mouth. , Xiao Xieyi leaned closer and heard the word "mother" vaguely.
Xiao Xieyi couldn't help sighing, he was thinking, when Lu Ruolan did those things regardless, did she ever think about Xiao Qiuyan, without the love of her mother, without the protection of her mother's family, what would a four-year-old child do in the palace? survive.
It is true that Xiao Xieyi has never paid much attention to Xiao Qiuyan, dislikes his weak personality, and is not even as good as Yuan Yang in reading, but that is Xiao Xieyi's own thoughts, his son, he can say no, other people dare to say a word, see Will he be lenient.
In Xiao Xiyi's past thinking, Xiao Qiuyan was his eldest son, even if he could not get the position of prince, a prince would not be able to escape. If he is more capable, he can help Qiuran with affairs, and it doesn't matter if he gives some real power. If he is mediocre One point, just be a rich and idle person, the royal family has money, and it’s no problem at all to raise a few people who don’t do anything. But after Lu Ruolan did those things, Xiao Qiuyan’s position became very embarrassing. Who knows if someone will teach him Some are not, and the troubles will cause brothers to become enemies, and father and son to turn against each other.
In order to prevent such a possibility, Xiao Xieyi had to reluctantly send Xiao Qiuyan away. He could not give him any chance, only by keeping his own law and being cautious, and when Xiao Qiuran ascended the throne in the future, he would not find Xiao Qiuyan an eyesore.
Just like in the previous life, he ignored Lu Ruolan's pleading and sent Xiao Qiuyan to Huaiyang just to avoid the conflict between him and Qiuhan.Thinking of this, Xiao Shuai stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Qiuyan's tender cheeks, with a lot of thoughts and a rather complicated expression.
"Father, is this son dreaming?" It may be that Xiao Xiyi's hand movements were heavy, Xiao Qiuyan opened her eyes at some point, and saw Xiao Xiyi sitting on the edge of the kang, with a gentle expression that she had never seen before. Looking at myself, I couldn't help being stunned.
"Qiuyan is awake, are you hungry? Hurry up and have dinner with Father." After hearing Xiao Qiuyan's words, Xiao Xiyi's heart was shaken. He was a little gentle because of how bad he was to his son before. At one point, the little guy was so scared that he thought he was dreaming.
Xiao Qiuyan sat up quickly, puzzled and asked: "Isn't the father accompanying Hua Guiqing for dinner?" In the past few months, except for various festival banquets, Xiao Xiyi had hardly eaten anywhere other than Qifeng Palace. Xiao Qiuyan thought it was strange to say that he wanted to change places.
"I won't go today, my father will accompany Qiuyan." Xiao Xiyi said with a smile, seeing Xiao Qiuyan's eyes brighten instantly, his heart softened, and he added, "I won't go tomorrow, but I will accompany Qiuyan, okay?" Okay?" The farewell is imminent, Xiao Xieyi wants to treat Xiao Xieyi better.
"Okay, thank you, father." Xiao Qiuyan stood up on the kang, threw herself into Xiao Xieyi's arms, put her arms around his neck, buried her head in his shoulder, why did father suddenly treat him so well? If this continues, he will be even more reluctant to leave.
Xiao Xiyi hugged Xiao Qiuyan, and the father and son walked into the dining room talking and laughing.On Feng Qi's side, Xiao Xieyi had sent someone to inform her before that she would not be going there today, so it seemed that Huanxi had to make another trip later, which meant that she would not go tomorrow and Feng Qi should not wait for him.
In Qifeng Palace, Feng Qi was talking to Xiao Yanzhou, because Xiao Xinyi would not come back, he planned to stay in Xiao Yanzhou for dinner before leaving.
"Your majesty seems to attach great importance to the eldest prince, are you not worried?" Xiao Yanzhou pouted her lips as she spoke, with a little worry in her tone.
Feng Qi smiled indifferently, "If the eldest prince goes here, he may not come back. It is human nature for His Majesty to be reluctant." If Xiao Xieyi said to let Wei Qing'er take Xiao Qiuyan away, from then on, Feng Qi Only Qi would feel terrible, but now it looks good to him.
"That's true." Xiao Yanzhou sighed with deep emotion, "I will definitely think about those who are not around, but the one who loves me the most is watching them grow up." Xiao Yanzhou's words meant something. Stationed in the northwest, his wife and children stayed in the capital, and those who waited by his side were naturally concubines. Although Xiao Yanzhou was the eldest son of Xiao Ren, he had already asked him to be his son, but in terms of his relationship with his father, he was far inferior to the two. A concubine's younger brother.
"Yanzhou, you are the eldest son." It is inconvenient for Feng Qi to say more about the family affairs of the Handan Palace, so she can only comfort Xiao Yanzhou in this way.
"I'm just talking, don't take it seriously." Xiao Yanzhou laughed and said, "The emperor asked me to go to Liangjian this time. I really didn't expect it. I thought he would never let me go. Those who came out of Beijing did not expect that it would be such a difficult task when they came up."
"Your Majesty believes in you. You just have to do your business. Don't think too much." Xiao Ren loves his youngest son. Although it is unlikely that he will abolish his father and establish a concubine, for Xiao Yanzhou, it is necessary to hold Xiao Xinyi's thigh tightly. The position of his son will be more secure.
"Don't worry, I will." Xiao Yanzhou said confidently that the opportunity had come to him, and he naturally wanted to grasp it.
Xiao Xieyi kept her word, in the two days before Xiao Qiuyan left the palace, the father and son were tired of being together all day long, and they never separated when doing anything.
The Empress Dowager wanted to keep Xiao Qiuyan, but she had no chance at all, so she could only give up unwillingly.She knew very well that if Xiao Qiuyan left, she would be trained by Wei Qing'er to be what she needed, and it would be meaningless for her to ask her to come back in the future.
Seeing this, Gu Wei heaved a sigh of relief. If the empress dowager really carried Xiao Qiuyan to the Palace of Compassion, it would be his in the end. Xiao Xieyi was tough once, but it saved a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future. trouble.
After sending off the Queen Mother Wei and her party, Xiao Xieyi put all her thoughts on Feng Qi and the child in his womb.
Time has entered June, and Feng Qi is already six months pregnant. Because he is pregnant with twins, his stomach has grown very fast recently, and it can almost catch up with other people's appearance when they are eight months pregnant. See De Xiao Xieyi was surprised and delighted, and kept asking Chu Muyu whether this was good or not.Chu Muyu was so questioned by him that she didn't know what to say. Isn't it just to have a baby? Hua Guiqing is in good health, so even if there was a shortfall in the early stage, as long as he did what he said every day, there was nothing to worry about.
On this day, Xiao Xieyi went straight to Qifeng Palace after the next court again, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Feng Qi was very impatient to not allow the use of ice while she was pregnant with her child.However, Chu Muyu also said that twins are not easy to conceive, Hua Guiqing must maintain the amount of exercise every day, so that she can give birth safely.
Feng Qi is not a person who cannot bear hardships. For the sake of her two children, and also to save her life, no matter what Chu Muyu said, she gritted her teeth and insisted on completing it. He personally felt that he could still support it. Mu Yu paused, so that he didn't know what to say.
When Xiao Xieyi came to Qifeng Palace, Feng Qi was circling around the courtyard supported by An Zhi.He may have been walking for a long time, his face was flushed from the sun, and the sweat kept dripping down, while Chu Muyu was sitting in a wheelchair and hiding under the shade of a tree, Xiao Xiyi was very angry.
"Huaijin, how many more laps are left?" Fortunately, Xiao Xieyi still had reason, he didn't call stop hastily, but took An Zhi's place.
Feng Qi didn't have the heart to count this, so she turned her head to look at Chu Muyu, only to see Chu Muyu stretched out her right hand and compared three fingers.
Feng Qi immediately told Xiao Xieyi, "Your Majesty, there are still three laps left, and the task for this morning will be completed."
morning? !Xiao Xieyi was shocked. Could it be that there are still arrangements in the afternoon? What does Chu Muyu mean? Is it fun to toss Feng Qi?
Before Xiao Xieyi could ask her a question, Feng Qi said by herself that the plan for the afternoon was to float, but she would wait until she had a nap.
Xiao Xiyi immediately showed a surprised expression when she heard the words, does this mean that there are beauties out of the bath to see...
Feng Qi guessed what Xiao Xieyi was thinking, and burst out laughing with a "puchi", with his current bloated figure, there is nothing to look at.Xiao Xieyi didn't care so much, she helped Feng Qi to finish the last three laps slowly, and the two returned to the house sweating profusely.
Ting Lan had brought Yu Yu Qingqing to prepare hot water a long time ago, now it doesn't matter if there is an extra Xiao Xie Yi, the two of them took a shower together, and when they came out, the lunch was all set, it was full of Feng Qi's favorite dishes, It's a pity that he was so hot that he refused to eat after moving two chopsticks.
"Huaijin, eat more, the child will be hungry if you are not hungry." Xiao Xieyi persuaded in a low voice, Feng Qi's appetite is almost the same as when she was first pregnant, but fortunately, although he does not eat much , I wouldn't vomit after eating, otherwise Xiao Xieyi would lose her hair in a hurry.
Feng Qi waved her hands, expressing that she really couldn't eat.Xiao Xieyi had no choice but to ask Ting Landuan to order some refreshing drinks, hoping that Feng Qi could use some.Not long after, two bowls of mung bean soup appeared in front of them, one with ice and the other without ice.
Feng Qi's eyes fell directly on the bowl of mung bean soup with ice, Xiao Xieyi looked funny, and even remembered the scene of their first meeting, but he didn't soften his heart, coaxing Feng Qi to leave the bowl of mung bean soup without ice. He drank down the bowl of mung bean soup, and went to take a nap with him.
"Your Majesty, don't come closer, it's hot..." In the past, Xiao Xieyi liked to sleep with Feng Qi in his arms, but recently, this kind of treatment is no longer available. It happened several times, when he just met Feng Qi, he immediately pushed her away. Open, there is no room for negotiation at all.
"It's okay, you go to sleep, I won't touch you." In the moment of skin-to-skin contact, Xiao Xieyi clearly felt that Feng Qi's body temperature was much higher than her own, although Chu Muyu said that the body temperature of pregnant women is higher than that of her own. Ordinary people are tall, but Gao Cheng is like this, isn't it an exaggeration?
Xiao Xiyi felt sorry for Feng Qi, so she sat by the bed and gently fanned him.Seeing this, Yu Yuqingqing was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, it's better to be a servant." The two little girls were terrified of being robbed of their jobs by the emperor, and they didn't know what they did wrong.
Feng Qi was so hot that she couldn't sleep, she also opened her eyes and persuaded: "Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold, I... really don't dare to be a minister." Even if Feng Qi can confirm that Xiao Xieyi treats him sincerely, he still treats him with such generous treatment. It's just that I can't bear it, it's too extravagant.
"Go to sleep, I'll give them the fan when you fall asleep." Xiao Xieyi bargained, so frightened that Feng Qi would dream of meeting Duke Zhou in less than a stick of incense, and he gave the fan to Yu Yuqingqing , Lie down on the soft couch next to him.
Feng Qi didn't understand that Xiao Xieyi was so nervous about him because she was frightened by the nightmarish experience in her previous life.
Because of being eroded by the poison of "purple fennel" and "green moxa" for four months, at this time in the previous life, Feng Qi's body was extremely weak, and she might give birth prematurely at any time, not to mention walking in the yard every day, even getting up. After being allowed to eat, drink, and scatter all on the bed, all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital were terrified, for fear that any inadvertent movement of Hua Guiqing would get rid of the twins in his stomach.
After two months of fear and fear, even though Feng Qi is in good health now, Xiao Xieyi can't help but bring back the memories of her previous life. He always feels that if he doesn't take Feng Qi more seriously, he and his two children , will be in danger at any time.
For peace of mind, Xiao Xieyi basically moved out all the ways she treated Feng Qi in her previous life. It's better than doing nothing well. What else could go wrong with twins.
