Chapter 3 Growing Up

Mu Biwei secretly scolded Ji Shen's blatant patriarchal preference, and saw that Xi Ping really looked sad. She quickly pulled her in together. Seeing that Ji Shen was bending down and looking at Ji Shi with good eyes, she came forward and asked Ji Shen, "How can Your Majesty have time to come here today? Do you remember that today is the birthday of You Eying?

"Anyway, her birthday will be over at night." Ji Shen said carelessly, "I'm taking advantage of this time to come and look at Sanlang - ah, Sanlang's eyebrows must be the most beautiful of the three princes." He smiled proudly, "Like me."

Mu Bi smiled and thought: It's okay to look. If even your temperament is like you, who will I cry with?

After a meal, he turned natural and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Spring and Autumn are in full bloom. Are you afraid that there will be no more handsome prince in the future? At that time, I'm afraid it's not good to dislike Sanlang.

Ji smiled deeply and said, "How can I dislike my bloodline?" He also said, "You and Sanlang suffered this time, but I didn't expect that the cliff would collapse in advance. Later, before the excavation, Yecheng Army only cared about digging, but did not pay attention to checking who did it..." He smiled and said hatefully, "I don't have many children under my knees. It's really useful to do so openly. The heart is sinister! If it is found out, it will be a heavy punishment!"

"Now that my concubine and Sanlang are safe to see your majesty, and see that Zuo Zhaoyi has also raised Xiping very well, but I don't want to punish anyone at this moment." Mu Bi flew over with a charming eye, squeezed her mouth and smiled, "However, since your majesty has taken over this punishment, my concubine is going to ask for a reward!"

Ji Shen said, "I almost forgot - the people in your palace have served you in the palace this time. Everyone is rewarded with half a year's salary. Those who stay also give them two months of silver to get your joy. Well, the people in your palace also have their own rewards..."

He finished speaking in one breath and asked Mu Biwei with a smile, "How about it?"

"My concubine went up and down the Changjin Palace to thank your majesty for his kindness!" Mu Bi looked at him with a slight pulse and said, "It's just that Your Majesty only cares about my concubine, and the people next to him have forgotten it!" For example, in the palace, the bodyguards did their duty, but your majesty's company made them happy. How can the guards in the palace not treat each other equally?

As she spoke, she squeezed her lips and smiled again, "And Cen Jian. This time in the palace, especially Zhao Shouyi's matter, it's thanks to Cen Jian..." Mu Bi gradually showed a gloomy look as she spoke, "Wang Cheng is also a pity!"

Wang Cheng's body was found in the mountain stream. Most of it had been eaten by the beast when it was found. He did not know whether he fell down or was killed. Ji Shen also knew that Wang Yunlai had a good relationship with Cheng Lian Dian. Mu Biwei said so, thinking that he was killed by someone, and he may not be together with Zhao Shouyi. After harming the imperial concubine's heir, Ji Shen felt that it was absolutely a faceless thing for the people who went out to be bought. Hearing Mu Biwei say this, she also sighed in her heart and said, "It's not clear, but since Wei Niang cherishes him, I will also have people to comfort him."

He was also ordered to reward the people in the palace. Speaking of Cen Ping, Mu Biwei took the opportunity to mention: "In the past years, I only felt that Cen Ping was a capable person. This time, I felt that he was also very talented. Now when I came back to the palace, I feel that many places of Genuo are not as good as him. After all, he is an old man, but my concubine is like Now it's just a light, and we can't ask him to lead the messenger of Chenglian Hall..."

Ji Shen listened and smiled: "What's so difficult? Since you think he is well served and has been a supervisor for many years, just transfer him back to the inner department to serve. Anyway, there is also a shortage in the inner department.

Mu Bi said anly, "After all, Your Majesty is thoughtful, but Your Majesty still missed a person who has not been rewarded!"

"Jin Niang and Hanxi, I have rewarded them before, and even your grandmother and sister-in-law have been praised." Ji Shen smiled and said, "Who else do you think I missed?"

Mu Bi's eyes flowed slightly and laughed, "Who? Isn't it right in front of you?"

Ji Shen looked at it for a moment and saw that Princess Xiping pouted and pulled Mu Biwei's skirt and stood aside sullenly. His face was hurt and sad. He finally reacted and squatted down with a smile and said, "This time, the aunt knew that it was inconvenient for her mother and didn't make much trouble when she left the palace. When she returned to the palace, she was also obedient. With Queen Mother, how can such a good lady not be rewarded?

Princes Xiping was so young that she was coaxed by him, and asked Mu Bi to pinch her shoulder slightly. Then she rushed into Ji Shen's arms to smile again and said, "Princescubine Qu should also be rewarded."

Mu Bi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yutong is very sensible. After living in Hualuo Hall for a few days, he knew that he would repay Zuo Zhaoyi!"

Ji Shen has always been generous and said happily, "A lady, how can I sweep her face?" He asked someone to make up for the reward of the Hualuo Temple.

After such a disturbance, Ji Shen was also a little tired. Lei Mo reminded that You Eying was still waiting in the Yongchun Palace and hurried away.

As soon as he left, Xiping's eyes turned red: "Mother, doesn't he like his ministers?"

Mu Biwei scolded Ji Shen in her heart and comforted her, "How come? Didn't your father still hold you and say that he couldn't sweep your face? If you hadn't spoken, it would have been difficult for you to get this reward!"

"But in the past, my father always hugged his son first, but now he goes to see his third brother first." Xiping said lonelyly, "It was the same with the emperor's grandmother. The emperor's grandmother and father only hugged the eldest brother and the second brother, and the minister leaned on the emperor's grandmother's lap, and also because the emperor's grandmother wanted to hug the eldest brother and ask the minister to get out of the way - or Wen's grandmother hugged the minister!"

If you really have a mother, you have a son... Mu Biwei scolded with hatred in her heart. She had previously painstakingly guided Xiping to play with her younger brothers and sisters, hoping that Xiping would not be left out because she had her own flesh and blood - after all, people's energy is limited, and there are many children under her knees, whether it is not her own or not. , pity is always scattered.

I don't want the Empress Dowager and Ji Shen to be so obvious. Mu Biwei is also a girl. Didn't Shen Taijun attach more importance to his descendants? Otherwise, she would not have chosen to send her to the palace in exchange for Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan to escape, but usually, Shen Taijun treated Mu Biwei with great love. He even said that the girl would always go out of the cabinet and go to other people's house to indulge Mu Biwei more... Otherwise, why did Mu Biwei hate Xu when she entered the palace and her grandmother? Do you have any old respect?

It's impossible to really have a bowl of water, but at least it won't make the children complain because of those who can't be flat?

She settled down and coaxed, "Your grandmother and your father don't hug you, but there is a reason to hug your brothers. It's definitely not because you love you. Yutong thought, the mother and concubine just told you that Yutong is five years old this year, right?"

Princess Xiping nodded aggrievedly.

"In accordance with the royal rules, the princess will live in Fengyang Palace at the age of six and enter Lanhui Hall to study and practice." Mu Bi touched her head with pity and said, "I won't be with my mother at that time!"

Xi Ping thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to go!"

"But this is the rule!" Mu Bi said kindly, "Even if you don't go, you still follow your mother's concubine. At the age of five or six, you are already a little adult!" Isn't it?"

Princess Xiping is looking forward to growing up now. When she heard that she was a little adult, she couldn't help standing up straight and said, "Yes!"

"So, your grandmother and father also hope that you will understand that you are about to grow up and set an example for your brothers and sisters, so they don't hug you. They have always wanted children all day long. They have not grown up and have never learned to walk. Naturally, they need to be hugged. When Yutong was a child, your grandmother and your father Emperor, isn't it also hugging you? When your brothers are as old as you, your grandmother and father will not hug them. Mu Biwei coaxed and persuaded, at least making Xiping turn a happy and take the new Geqing and Song Tianxia to be a cloth tiger.

When she left, Mu Biwei was slightly tired and asked people to drink tea. Ah Shan personally came forward to beat her legs and sighed, "I didn't return to the palace until last night. I met the Empress Dowager and went to Hualuo Hall to pick up Princess Xiping. Your Majesty also came to join in the fun. After a while, I had to go to the Yongchun Palace to congratulate her. Fortunately, I lived in the palace. Yue, now it's confinement, otherwise it's strange that you won't be tired.

Mu Biwei drank a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Don't think that your majesty has come to trouble and caused Xiping's grievances. He asked me to coax me for so long. He can live a good life by not forget the Changjin Palace. Otherwise, look at the prayer hall. Hearing that the second son of the emperor was suppressed by the Empress Dowager, Sun cried a few times aggrievedly. Every time your majesty wants to In the past, it seemed that I was blocked by You Eying. Unlike my birth and plotted in the palace, Your Majesty felt a little guilty.

Ashan said, "How can Sun compare with a girl?"

While the two were talking, the outside embroidered in and whispered, "Chen Shifu, Liu Yunu and others are outside the hall and say that they want to say greeting and congratulate the Empress."

Mu Biwei hasn't spoken yet. Ah Shan has frowned and scolded, "I don't look at it!" We just came back yesterday! The Empress has been busy all the way and hasn't stopped yet. Today, she caught up with You Eying's birthday. She has to go to the Yongchun Palace to congratulate her later. Now she hasn't picked out the clothes that fit her. Where can she get to see them?

Su Xiu hurriedly said, "It's the maidservant who is stupid. Don't be angry - the maidservant will send them away!"

"Wait a minute." Mu Biwei stopped her and said to Ah Shan, "After all, it's the people of Changjin Palace. At least give some face. Seeing that they are definitely not free today, you can ask them to come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Su Xiu squeezed her lips and said, "Yes!"

Waiting for Suxiu to go, Ashan said, "They are just rushing to see the girl. It's nothing more than to see the girl have children and flatter her. Second, they just think that the third prince is too young now. This time, the girl must not be able to go to spring hunting, but when your majesty loves her, they can talk about the candidates for spring hunting, only Gu thought for himself but didn't think about his mother.

Mu Bi smiled and said, "There are many restrictions when the position is low. As long as the superiors are not satisfactory, they are unpleasant. We came back yesterday. Today, they still can't come to see them. When we think about it after we are busy, we must blame them for neglecting! "

Ashan couldn't help laughing: "I look at the girl's fatigue, so I feel that these people don't have a good eye for no reason." He also said, "Would you like to go to spring hunting this time?"

"Of course I can't go." Mu Bi said righteously, "There is nothing I can do if I entrust Xiping to Zuo Zhaoyi and follow him to Yueshanchi by myself!" What's more, Xiping was just a princess. At that time, she was also three years old. It was enough for Zuo Zhaoyi to protect her. She was not only a man, but also a man. How could I trust him to others? Besides, if you give Zuo Zhaoyi a belt, even if Zuo Zhaoyi can protect him, she will be willing to return it to me later. What do you think of the Empress Dowager and You Eying? Although we are biased towards Zuo Zhaoyi now, I don't plan to completely rely on other people's boats!"

"Then this spring hunting candidate..." A Shan said, "The girl also needs to have a number in her heart. Don't call You Eying and Bu Shi all in the limelight and don't pay attention to our Changjin Palace!"

Mu Bi smiled faintly: "Don't worry that today is different from the past. Don't forget that He is not pregnant, and she will definitely follow! In addition, I heard that the first day of the first lunar month was favored again?

"Gong Zhongshi went back to serve in the Xuan Room. He heard that now he is much sensible. His Majesty also sighed when he saw it, saying that she was not as naive and cute as before, but she was also much more generous... Of course, her love is not as good as before, but at least she returned to your majesty." Ah Shan sighed.

"Innocent and cute?" Mu Bi sneered slightly, "Poor first year... Her sister is really painstaking! I heard that in order to ask Lei Mo to say a few good words for the first day of junior high school, the family's belongings in recent years have been saved for nothing?

A Shan sighed, "Gong Zhong has been favored again. Are you afraid that there is no reward? The most important thing is that Gong Zhong couldn't even look at that time... Alas!"

"What's the difficulty in the world to suddenly change from innocence to stability? As long as it hurts enough. Mu Bi exhaled slightly and said with a complicated look, "Look, isn't Yutong just grown up a little? At least there is this opportunity on the first day of the lunar new year.

Ashan squeezed her lips and said, "Yes, the beauty of Chu in those years didn't even have this opportunity... Even Sun, she seems to be a little late, and the general trend has gone..."
