After Princess Shu and Ji Cen'an got married, Yin Enci was willing to let Chu Nanzhi, mother and son move out of the palace. Seeing that her granddaughter-in-law's belly was getting bigger, it was really hard for her to feel at ease to let them live in the post house.
She also deliberately ordered Princess Shu to choose an exquisite house in Beijing for mother and son.
After everything was taken care of, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month when we moved into the new house.
This day also happened to usher in the first snowfall when Chu Nanzhi came to this world. The flying goose feather snow completely covered the entire original scenery of Jinling City.
Early in the morning when she moved into her new house, Chu Nanzhi looked at the pink and jade courtyard. Although Chu Nanzhi was thinking about the pretty girl, there was also indescribable joy on her face.
The new year is approaching, and he and the quadruplets cannot return to Luyan Port as promised. Fortunately, good news has been coming frequently recently. The young boy has completely calmed down the situation in Pingning Prefecture, and let Zhang Yu take over the position of governor of the prefecture capital.
In the northwest, Tang Yao had reached a stalemate as he had expected. He was in a stalemate with the Rong and Di armies, and was constantly harassed by the Tataraka tribe's cavalry, which made him miserable.
Although the emperor's dragon body was not in great shape after taking the elixir, he was significantly better than before after using the conditioning prescriptions she prescribed. Recently, he could still go to court to listen to the courtiers' discussions from time to time.
Everything was developing as expected, which made Chu Nanzhi very happy.
After moving into a new home, she became a celebrity in front of her ancestors and the emperor. She calculated that many dignitaries would come to congratulate her in the past few days, so she asked Liu Yun and Tang Weiming to buy a lot of meat snacks and other snacks in advance to prepare.
Unexpected needs.
Shen Yunqing and his quadruplets grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. They had never seen such a magnificent snow scene. When they heard that there was thick snow in the yard, they didn't care about the freezing weather and ran to the yard after breakfast.
A snowman was built.
Seeing the little treasures having so much fun, Chu Nanzhi couldn't bear to call them back into the house, so he had to ask the attendants to prepare a stove to keep them warm after they had finished playing.
Sibaolin Ruijia spent a long time alone in the most secluded corner of the yard, building more than a dozen snowmen, large and small, and happily came over to pull Chu Nanzhi over to see them.
Looking at the little girl's red palm, Chu Nanzhi pinched it worriedly, but it was already extremely hot. She asked with some distress: "Is it cold?"
Si Bao blinked his little eyes and shook his head happily: "Mom, I'm not cold at all."
Then he pointed at the piled snowmen and introduced them one by one: "Aniang, look, the shorter ones are me and my brothers and sisters, and the ones in the middle are Aniang and Dad."
I followed her immature fingers and looked over. I saw that this little girl was doing a careless job, but the snowman she built really had the charm of a real person.
Especially when she saw herself and Lin Jinxiao, it was more realistic, and she couldn't help but miss the pretty boy again.
Seeing her absent-minded look, Si Bao quickly held her hand and asked with a flat mouth: "Auntie, are you thinking about daddy?"
Hearing this, the other little guys gathered around him.
Sanbaolin Ruichong took the lead and asked glumly: "Mom, I miss my dad too. When can we go back to Luyan Port to see my dad?"
It's almost three months since I left Luyan Port. I thought I could go back before the New Year, but looking at the current situation, I won't be able to go back for a while.
She could only comfort the little ones with a smile: "Your great-grandmother hopes that you can stay in Beijing for a longer time, and she cares so much about you. If you don't wait to spend the New Year with her before going back, I'm afraid it will make her sad."
of."
After saying this, he quickly ordered the maids to hand the stoves to the little ones one by one.
The little ones didn't feel cold after playing in the snow for a long time, but they were afraid of being scolded by their mother, so they all held up the hand stove obediently.
Thinking of the gray-haired old man in the palace, the quadruplets were deeply moved.
I don’t know why this old man is so concerned about his brothers and sisters. When he stays in the palace every day, he wants to take out the things from the bottom of the box and give them to them.
Dabaolin Ruiwen nodded sensibly and said: "Aniang, we will go back to see my father after spending the New Year with my great-grandmother."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at her swollen belly and said kindly: "If dad can't see the birth of his brother in grandma's belly, he will definitely be sad."
"Well, we'll wait until spring next year and spend the New Year with your great-grandmother, and then we'll go back."
Chu Nanzhi counted the time. Tang Yao had been away from Beijing for some time. Now it was time to deal with Tian Yuchan and Lin Jinke's mother and son.
But now that the imperial power has fallen, even if the emperor recovers somewhat, he may not be able to do anything to King Qinghe.
During this period, she checked the emperor's pulse and discovered that the toxins accumulated in the emperor's body had damaged his internal organs. With the medical conditions available in this era, he could survive for a year and a half at most.
What's more, the emperor was too thoughtful. Even if she could find him a panacea, it would be difficult to cure his knot, which really made her feel embarrassed.
While replying to the quadruplets, she also began to think about how to deal with the Queen Mother and her son before the emperor's deadline came.
While he was in a trance, he heard the little ones happily calling "aunt" in his ears. He looked up and happened to see Liu Yun and Lin Jinshu walking in.
After Princess Zishu got married, she was busy with the affairs of the Ji family all day long, and Chu Nanzhi hadn't seen her for some days.
When I unexpectedly saw this princess who used to be so heroic and heroic in the past, she seemed to have a bit more of a woman's gentle demeanor.
She hurriedly stepped forward and joked with a smile: "I had expected that it would be Her Royal Highness the Princess who would step into my house."
"If someone else comes to visit before me, I won't be able to agree."
Lin Jinshu also smiled warmly and held her hand, looking around at the house he carefully selected for her, and asked happily: "How is it, senior sister, are you satisfied with the house I selected for you?"
"Of course it's impeccable, thank you princess."
Chu Nanzhi's gratitude was beyond words.
She has taken care of her since she moved to Beijing, and she can't help but feel the benefits of having a close confidant.
"You still need to be so polite to me."
Lin Jinshu looked at the snowman built by the little ones with a smile, and then looked at the little ones holding the stove. He couldn't help but joked: "I'm afraid your mother is the only one in the whole capital who can indulge you like this. It's so cold."
Tian even ran out of the house to build a snowman."
After finishing speaking, he quickly winked at the little ones and whispered: "Next time you enter the palace, don't tell your great-grandmother about this."
"Aunt, we are not cold."
Sanbao Lin Ruichong was afraid that his aunt would blame his mother for this matter, so he defended himself and said: "We had a great time."
"Rascal."
Lin Jinshu bent down and pinched the tip of Sanbao's nose, then ordered the maids to bring the gifts they had prepared, and explained to Chu Nanzhi: "Grandma Huang originally wanted to come over and see in person what I selected for you.
House, but something unexpected happened early in the morning, so I asked me to bring over some clothes and robes that the palace people knitted for everyone to keep out the cold."
After saying that, he looked back at the little treasures and said in a personal voice: "My aunt also bought a lot of snacks for you. It's just right that you can eat some after playing in the snow for a long time."
When they heard about the snacks and new clothes, the little ones were very happy and hurriedly followed Liu Yun to the front hall to share the snacks.
When only Chu Nanzhi and Sang Qi were left in the garden, Lin Jinshu's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said to her in a low voice: "I came here today because I have something to discuss with Sister-in-law Wang, Elder Chang, and Elder Nie.
Discuss."
Seeing her frown, Chu Nanzhi immediately realized that it was no small matter, and immediately led her to the courtyard where the two elders lived.
