Half a month later, Brother Ji and his cousin from the Zhao family made an appointment to get married, and the wedding date was also set.
Zhao Changqing came to Jiaofang Palace with a happy face: "The wedding is scheduled for September. The weather is the most comfortable in the crisp autumn weather. There is still half a year until the wedding, and half a year is enough to take care of the marriage."
Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao both smiled and congratulated each other: "Congratulations to my second sister-in-law, you are about to get your wife."
Zhao Changqing's brows relaxed, and his eyes were filled with relief: "Brother Ji has decided to get married, and I am mostly determined too. After a year or two, I will choose a good marriage for Sister Rong. I will be satisfied for the rest of my life and have nothing to worry about.
That’s it.”
Xie Mingxi smiled and joked: "Where are we now? When your daughter-in-law comes and gives birth to a bunch of grandchildren, you will still have many days to worry about!"
Everyone loves to hear such happy words.
Zhao Changqing smiled from ear to ear: "I'm happy to worry about it like this!"
Yin Xiaoxiao was filled with envy: "Second sister-in-law is about to have a wife. The marriage between Brother Lin and Brother Ting has not been settled yet! The thought of having to worry about two bastards makes my head hurt."
Xiao Yuhan smiled and shushed her: "You have to marry two daughters-in-law. Why do you have a headache? Sister Fu will have to recruit a consort in the future, so I will worry. It seems that she is even worthy of Sister Fu."
There are no young men like me."
Xie Mingxi couldn't help laughing: "What the third sister-in-law said is true, and I am the same."
Talking and laughing, it was a lively atmosphere.
Yin Xiaoxiao suddenly sighed sadly: "Unconsciously, our children have reached the age of marriage, and in the blink of an eye, we are all old."
Xie Mingxi couldn't stop laughing: "If you tidy up a little, you will still look like you are in your twenties when you go out. If you say old, who else is not old?"
Zhao Changqing was already older and more thoughtful. He was in his thirties and looked like a woman. Xiao Yuhan was thoughtful and thoughtful, and there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Yin Xiaoxiao, however, has not aged at all, and time seems to have frozen on her face. Her eyebrows are still as before, smooth and bright, and her smile is full of anger.
Being praised like this by Xie Mingxi, Yin Xiaoxiao was immediately delighted: "So, I still look very young?"
Xiao Yuhan smiled and said, "Isn't that right? Standing next to me, you look like you are eight or nine years younger."
Then, the two of them made a fuss together and asked Zhao Changqing to prepare a banquet for the guests.
Zhao Changqing agreed without saying a word, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely treat you. Tomorrow, you all come together to have a fun time."
Xie Mingxi also responded with a smile.
It was a peaceful and lively place. Who could have imagined the calculations and struggles behind the harmonious and lively atmosphere?
…
The next day happened to be the time when the academy was closed for bathing.
Zhao Changqing held a banquet to celebrate Brother Ji's engagement. Brother Aluolin and other cousins all went to the banquet to celebrate. Even Brother You and his entourage were invited into the palace.
The older ones sat at one table, and the younger ones were divided into two seats, men and women.
A group of boys and girls with outstanding faces, each with outstanding appearance and different temperament, full of vigor and vitality, makes people feel happy just looking at them.
Chief Gu Shan liked this moment the most. He looked at the children happily and was so excited that he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of fruit wine.
Xie Mingxi laughed softly and said, "Master, don't drink too much."
Young and old, Mr. Gu Shan is getting older, but his temperament is becoming more like a child's. He said without thinking: "Just a few glasses of fruit wine, it won't be a big deal."
Xie Mingxi had no choice but to let Gu Shanchang drink as much as she wanted.
Then, Gu Shanchang was indeed drunk. Before the banquet was over, his face turned red and his body was swaying.
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and personally helped Gu Shanchang back to Jiaofang Hall to rest.
Gu Shanchang seemed drunk, but his mind was clear. Suddenly he opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Ji, are you going to get married in Prince Lu's Mansion?"
Xie Mingxi hummed.
In those days, all the princes left the palace and opened their own mansions when they got married. Brother Ji grew up in the palace, but once they got married, he could no longer live in the palace.
Gu Shanchang squinted his eyes for a moment and then said: "As I expected, Princess Lu may also want to follow Brother Ji out of the palace and return to Prince Lu's Mansion."
It is quite inconvenient to have eyes and ears in the palace. Especially when you are full of selfish calculations, of course it is more convenient to go back to Prince Lu's Mansion.
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled faintly: "Master, you don't have to worry about such trivial matters. I know it well."
Gu Shanchang felt relieved, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
…
Yin Xiaoxiao also drank a lot today.
Brother Lin was the most filial person. He held his mother's arm and warned her carefully: "Mom, please be careful when you walk."
Yin Xiaoxiao hummed with a smile, reached out and pinched her son's handsome face: "I know, good son."
Brother Lin: "..."
He is already fourteen years old, not a three or four-year-old child. It is really embarrassing for his mother to pinch his face and call him a good son.
Brother Ting was filled with envy. He immediately held Yin Xiaoxiao's other arm and shamelessly showed his handsome face to her: "Fifth Aunt, am I good or not?"
Brother Lin glared at him, not wanting Yin Xiaoxiao to be there, otherwise he would have kicked him over.
Yin Xiaoxiao chuckled and pinched Brother Ting's face: "Be good, Brother Ting is also very good."
Brother Ting was pinched all over his body and he helped Yin Xiaoxiao back to the dormitory with a smile on his face. He carefully took off Yin Xiaoxiao's shoes and covered her with the quilt.
Brother Lin didn't fight with him, he just stood aside with a smile and let Brother Ting serve him warmly and eagerly.
The two brothers grew up together, but have different personalities.
Brother Lin is cheerful, optimistic and sunny, just like Yin Xiaoxiao when he was young. Brother Ting is competitive, petty-minded, and loves to hold grudges. Apparently he inherited part of the temperament of his biological father and mother in his blood.
Fortunately, he grew up next to Yin Xiaoxiao and was deeply influenced by Yin Xiaoxiao's teachings. Even though he has an awkward temperament, he is still a filial and considerate young man.
The two brothers were about to retreat, but Yin Xiaoxiao on the bed opened her eyes: "Brother Lin, Brother Ting, you two come here."
Brother Lin and Brother Ting were both stunned, looked at each other, and walked forward.
Yin Xiaoxiao's eyes were half-squinted, a little drunk, but her words were very clear: "Brother Ji will leave the palace and return to Prince Lu's palace soon. Do you two want to leave the palace?"
Brother Lin was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously: "Whether you want it or not, you will leave the palace when you get married. You can't live in the palace forever!"
But Brother Ting became nervous: "Fifth Auntie, when the time comes, I will join you in Prince Min's Mansion." He doesn't want to live alone in Prince Ning's Mansion!
Yin Xiaoxiao: “…”
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at her son who had a magnanimous face, and then at Brother Ting who looked nervous as he was afraid of being left to live alone in Prince Ning's Mansion. She felt a little sad, but more of she was happy and happy.
The sons she raised single-handedly are all good children with clear minds.
