The fact that the two scourges of pearls and agate were no longer around Xiao Jingtong really made her restrain herself a lot and she was not so extreme.
But Xiao Jingtong has never had her mother by her side since she can remember. Therefore, even though she was not raised by Xiao Ci, she still relies on him.
Nowadays, as the income rises, people know more and more things, and they feel less and less secure.
Xiao Ci was good to Song Qinghuan, so she also knew that the new princess would definitely give birth to younger siblings for her in the future. When the younger siblings were born, she and Xiao Jingchuan would become more like outsiders in their own family.
That's why he shamelessly came to disturb Xiao Ci and Song Qinghuan.
Xiao Ci paid close attention to these two children, but after all, he was a man and his mind was not that sharp.
He couldn't feel Xiao Jingtong's panic at all. After that day, he ordered Xiao Jingtong and Xiao Jingchuan not to leave the courtyard at night.
His instructions were more effective than anything else, and none of the maids and women dared to listen.
Without Xiao Jingtong coming to cause trouble, Xiao Ci was satisfied after living a life without shame for a few days.
Xiao Jingchuan is older and calmer, and even if he has something on his mind, he never tells anyone.
Xiao Jingtong was tricked by Chunlan and Qiulan.
When I went to report to Song Qinghuan, I realized that Xiao Jingtong was afraid of having younger brothers and sisters.
Texue was afraid that Song Qinghuan would not like it, so he said: "The princess lost her mother at a young age and grew up in front of the Queen Mother. Her ideas are a bit extreme and I don't think so."
Song Qinghuan didn't say anything, but turned around and intentionally or unintentionally asked Xiao Ci to get closer to his children.
The Wusha plague incident was over, and Xiao Ci returned to the old days of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. He also went to the Wucheng Army and Horses Division when he wanted to, and rested at home if he didn't want to go.
Seeing that Song Qinghuan would remind him from time to time and call the two children to Yilanju for dinner every day, he also felt that something was wrong.
At night, when I was not ashamed or ashamed, I asked him once.
Song Qinghuan stepped on his chest, thought for a moment, and then told him about Chunlan Qiulan's report.
He added: "The child is young and I am a new outsider. You hang out with me every day. It is not surprising that she has these thoughts in her heart."
Xiao Ci listened to Song Qinghuan's words, and sighed and said: "It seems that raising two daughters is not easy. You have to coax both of them, even if they are even a little bit off."
Song Qinghuan laughed when she heard him say these nonsense words: "I want to call you my father, do you dare to answer?"
Xiao Ci glanced at her: "I think you probably can't scream."
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and then it died down again.
The little maid on night watch did not dare to get too close to the main house for several days, for fear that she might overhear something she shouldn't hear.
As soon as October passes, the winter moon begins. In previous years, Queen Mother Jiang always went to the Star Observation Tower to offer sacrifices during the winter solstice. However, due to the fire last year, the Star-Zhaing Pavilion has not yet been renovated, so this year's winter sacrifices will naturally be held.
cancelled.
Because of the plague in September and October, people were panicking, and there was no winter solstice ceremony this year. Emperor Chengxing suddenly wanted to go to Beishan for winter hunting.
Hunting is a thing for young people, and Queen Mother Jiang would not go there. She agreed to Emperor Chengxing's trip and asked Queen Wang to select a few people to go with Emperor Chengxing for a few days.
Xiao Ci was also on the list for this trip, but Song Qinghuan was not suitable for the trip because of his filial piety.
Xiao Ci also wanted Song Qinghuan to see what he was capable of, but she couldn't go and immediately had no interest in the hunt.
Song Qinghuan saw that he didn't want to go, so he said: "You have nothing to do in the house anyway, so why not take your eldest son and daughter with you to have fun."
He added: "King Wu will definitely go this time. Sister Tong has always had fun with Qianqian, so it just makes them lively."
Xiao Ci was next to the imperial concubine on the couch. After listening to her arrangements, he turned to her side and asked her, "What about you? What should you do?"
Song Qinghuan turned over the medical skills in his hand and said without raising his head: "I'll wait for you at home."
If she didn't wait for them at the mansion, she wouldn't have anywhere else to go.
Xiao Ci was not very happy at first, but now he smiled and said, "Okay, then you can wait for us at home."
As soon as word spread that Xiao Jingtong and Xiao Jingchuan were to be taken to Beishan for hunting, Xiao Jingtong's place became lively.
Wearing deerskin short boots, she walked towards Zhilanju. When she saw Xiao Ci, she ran over and hugged her like a baby: "Father, you are really good."
She had never been to Beishan in previous years, so she was extremely happy to be able to go with him this year. When she heard that Song Qinghuan was not going, she was even more happy.
Xiao Jingtong had been packing things in the courtyard for several days in a row. He had to bring everything he needed to wear, wear and play, and he would unpack the boxes and put them away again when he thought of something.
Fortunately, Chunlan and Qiulan were very capable and arranged all her things early in the morning, so she didn't miss anything.
Xiao Jingtong was happy here for several days, but there was no movement at Xiao Jingchuan's place.
I still do whatever I have to do. How I lived my life in the past is how I live my life now.
The servants had packed everything for him, including food, clothing, and necessities, so he didn't have to worry about it. He just picked up a few books and took them over to pass the time.
The day to set out for Beishan is scheduled to be the 13th day of the winter lunar month, and we will go back down the mountain on the 17th day of the winter lunar month.
I happened to miss Song Qinghuan’s birthday.
The birthday of the 16th day of the winter lunar month belonged to the eldest lady of the Song family. Song Qinghuan didn't feel anything about it and didn't take it seriously at all.
On the thirteenth day, she personally sent Xiao Ci, Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jingtong out of the house.
Both Ta Xue and Xun Mei remembered Song Qinghuan's birthday, and when Xiao Ci left like that, without even leaving a word, Xun Mei complained dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, it's true that even if you miss the princess's birthday, you still can't.
You should express it in advance."
It is not a good thing for Xunmei to be a slave and arrange a master. Taxue pulled her a bit, and she also said: "Look, she didn't miss her at all when she left. She didn't seem to remember our princess."
Chun Niang, who came out to see him off, said, "Our palace has never mentioned any of our masters' birthdays."
He added: "I'm afraid the princess is not used to it because she just got married. On the day of the princess's birthday, I will ask the cook to prepare the banquet for the princess, so that the princess can be happy."
Song Qinghuan was walking in front. After hearing this, he turned around to look at Chun Niang. He always felt that she was a little strange, but he still said, "Thank you very much, Miss Chun Niang."
Setting up the banquet is an easy task. Chun Niang doesn't even need to give orders. Taxue Xunmei can also give orders, but what's the point of Song Qinghuan having a banquet alone?
The master of Prince Rui's Mansion is only born on his birthday. If Song Qinghuan passes his birthday, will he not be considered the master of Prince Rui's Mansion?
I don’t know whether Chun Niang’s words were intentional or unintentional, but they made Song Qinghuan’s master and servants feel uncomfortable.
