Chapter 109 Maintenance(1/2)

Emperor Longqing's clothes were wet with urine, so he naturally could not continue to wear them.                                                                                                                    �

Qin Zhen arranged to change his clothes to Emperor Longqing.

When Emperor Longqing went out, the people who followed him should naturally bring their clothes bags. Unfortunately, Emperor Longqing was not an emperor who could do his own and often slip out of the palace in vain. Apart from the brocade robe on him, he had almost no other suitable ordinary clothes. At this time, he was not willing to wear a dragon robe.

"I see that His Majesty and the Prince are of the same size. I made a few robes for the prince during the Chinese New Year, but I haven't worn them yet. If Your Majesty doesn't dislike him, you might as well give it a try for the time being." Ji Xiaotang suggested.

Emperor Longqing looked at Qin Zhen and nodded happily.

Ji Xiaotang handed Xuan'er over to Mrs. Ji Er and Madam Cheng, and went to the inner room himself and chose a brocade robe with red flowers. Qin Zhen hurriedly led Emperor Longqing to the back of the screen, and helped Emperor Longqing change his robe with the serving Zhongguan.

In a while, Emperor Longqing came out from behind the screen wearing a vermilion robe.

The two brothers, Emperor Longqing and Qin Zhen, were similar in height, but Emperor Longqing was much thinner than Qin Zhen. Fortunately, because he was weak, he was always cold in body, so he wore thicker inside. Now he wore Qin Zhen's robe outside, which was quite fit.

The vermilion robe also made Emperor Longqing's pale face look a little more bloody.

After the boy urinated just now, Emperor Longqing's spirit seemed to have improved.

Xuan'er changed into a diaper and changed into a goose yellow dress embroidered with bangs and playing the golden toad pattern. Emperor Longqing couldn't help but ask someone to carry Xuan'er to him again, and reached out to touch Xuan'er's face gently.

He was covered in vermilion and with Qin Xuan's goose yellow, he looked particularly harmonious and beautiful when he got to the same place.

"Xuan'er is a lucky child." Emperor Longqing said, and asked the official servant who was in close service to take a brocade box. "Today is Xuan'er's full moon, and I didn't bring too many gifts. Let's keep this jade pendant for Xuan'er to play with."

Emperor Longqing took the brocade box and took out a white jade nine dragon pendant from it, saying that it was a full moon gift to Qin Xuan.

Previously, Empress Dowager Han, Emperor Longqing, and Empress Han in the harem, Concubine Zheng and Concubine Ji all beat people to give Xuan'er a full moon gift. However, that should be generally considered an official article.

Emperor Longqing's jade pendant was specially selected by him for Xuan'er.

Ji Xiaotang didn't think so. As an emperor, Emperor Longqing must have many good things. He is Qin Xuan's uncle, so he gave him a few more generous gifts to express his feelings. Ji Xiaotang didn't think he should refuse.

But Qin Zhen is different.

He was right next to Emperor Longqing and recognized the jade pendant almost at a glance.

"Your Majesty, I will not ask you." Qin Zhen refused to accept the jade pendant for Qin Xuan.

Ji Xiaotang was puzzled and looked at Qin Zhen with inquisitive eyes.

Qin Zhen quickly gave Ji Xiaotang the answer.

"...If I remember correctly, this jade pendant should have been given to His Majesty by his father when he was granted the title of crown prince."

There were not many descendants in the harem of the late emperor. The birth of Emperor Longqing, Empress Dowager Han, was named the queen at that time. Therefore, when Emperor Longqing was one year old, he was named the crown prince by the late emperor.

Qin Zhen was much smaller than Emperor Longqing, so he naturally would not be present at that time. The reason why he recognized this jade pendant was because Emperor Longqing often wore this jade pendant around him. Later, the re-establishment of the prince was in great trouble. Empress Dowager Han cried in front of the late emperor, and once brought it out to talk about it.

Later, Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, and until now, he still wore this jade pendant with him. But today, he put the jade pendant into a brocade box and gave it to Qin Xuan.

Obviously, this was not something Emperor Longqing had been impulsive, but had already thought about it carefully and thought about it.

Emperor Longqing had already thought about it. But Qin Zhen knew the weight of this jade pendant well, so he refused to accept it.

"Fourth brother, don't be too careful." Emperor Longqing's attitude was very calm. "This jade pendant was indeed given to me by my father. Now that I give it to Xuan'er with my own hands, what's wrong?"

Qin Zhen still refused.

Emperor Longqing smiled and shook his head, and then asked someone to carry Qin Xuan to him.

"Xuan'er. This is my uncle gave you. Do you like it?" Emperor Longqing grabbed the loop on the jade pendant and shook it gently in front of Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan can see things now, and is almost curious about everything in this world, especially what is moving in front of him.

What's more, this jade pendant is not only flawless, but also exquisitely carved and very beautiful.

Qin Xuan's big eyes turned with the jade pendant.

What do children really like? That expression is very touching.

Emperor Longqing was very happy, so he sent the jade pendant to Qin Xuan's arms and gave it to him again. Qin Xuan's little arm was not very flexible, so he could catch it if he couldn't. Emperor Longqing simply stuffed the jade pendant to Qin Xuan's hand.

Qin Xuan was happy now, and his little hand immediately grabbed one side of the jade pendant. In order to grasp it more steadily, his other little hand immediately followed him.

Emperor Longqing carefully let go of his hands, Qin Xuan held the jade pendant with his two small hands and placed it on his fleshy chest.

"Xuan'er accepted it." Emperor Longqing laughed, "Fourth brother, you don't have to say anything more. №                                              

Qin Zhen could only smile helplessly and shake his head.

Qin Xuan grabbed the jade pendant for a while, grinned happily, and showed his pink gums again, and saliva slipped out of the corner of his mouth. Ji Xiaotang watched him slowly send the jade pendant to his mouth.

Ji Xiaotang smiled, then rushed forward and took out the jade pendant from Xuan'er's hand.

"The gifts given by His Majesty are so precious, so I'd better put them away first and wait until Xuan'er is bigger before letting him wear them with him."

Emperor Longqing nodded naturally.

Ji Xiaotang put the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant into the brocade box and put it away in person.

Emperor Longqing was in good spirits, but after all, he was a person who had been sick for a long time. After teasing Qin Xuan for a while, his face showed fatigue. The middle-level official who was serving next to him saw it and persuaded Emperor Longqing to return to the palace.

Emperor Longqing lingers in the An Palace for a while, and has been out of the palace for a long time.

Emperor Longqing came out this time with Empress Dowager Han on his back.

"Your Majesty is resting here. Xiaotang and I will prepare a small banquet for you to invite Your Majesty to Xuan'er's full moon wine." Qin Zhen said hurriedly.

Emperor Longqing glanced at the bell beside the wall, smiled and sighed softly.

"I'd better go back. After coming out for a while, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager has already alarmed. If the Empress Dowager is worried about me again, it would be bad." Emperor Longqing said he was about to go back.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang knew very well that Empress Dowager Han wanted to control Emperor Longqing. They also knew that Emperor Longqing was afraid of Empress Dowager Han, so they did not continue to stay.

"I'll send Your Majesty back, and I just happened to go to the palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother." Qin Zhen told people to prepare the car, and at the same time, he told Emperor Longqing that Empress Dowager Han issued an order to ask Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er to enter the palace. "Xuan'er just had just been a month old and had never left Prince An's mansion. If it's cold today, we are a little reluctant to let him go..."

Qin Zhen’s words were very subtle and reasonable.

Emperor Longqing nodded.

"The fourth brother is right, Xuan'er is still young. It is not advisable to bump back and forth. Let Xiaotang take good care of Xuan'er at home, and the Empress Dowager's place is all on me." Emperor Longqing said confidently.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang made up their minds and did not bring Qin Xuan into the palace to meet Empress Dowager Han. With Qin Lin and jade in front of him, Empress Dowager Han could not really do anything to them. However, it would be better for Emperor Longqing to take over this matter.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang were not polite to Emperor Longqing, so they thanked him quickly.

Emperor Longqing's smile was slightly bitter.

“…I can always do this.”

Ji Xiaotang naturally understood what Emperor Longqing meant. He could only sigh secretly.

Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang sent Emperor Longqing out.

"...I've been here before." Emperor Longqing looked around while walking and said with emotion. "Since I became the emperor, I can't remember how many years I have not left the palace.... It was still the time when my father was here, and when I was the prince, I lived a more comfortable life..."

After getting on the carriage outside the second gate, Emperor Longqing was still a little reluctant to leave.

"I don't know when it will be next time..."

Ji Xiaotang had no answer to this question either.

She and Qin Zhen welcomed Emperor Longqing, no matter when Emperor Longqing came to Prince An's Mansion. But both of them knew that Empress Dowager Han would never allow it.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaotang understood the more he felt Emperor Longqing's feelings.

A emperor who is completely unself-controlled by his own mother, isn’t he just at ease before he becomes the prince?

Qin Zhen personally sent Emperor Longqing back to the palace. Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er returned to the Ivy Chun Hall.

Master Ji Er finally had the opportunity to hold Xuan'er in his arms. He was very skillful in holding the child, and Xuan'er was not uncomfortable in his arms. From this, you can tell that Master Ji Er had held children a lot in the past.

"At that time, your sister, your father was not at home, and later she took me to another office and didn't have the chance to take care of your sister. Later, you were born. She was healthy and lively, and your father liked it so much. Every day when she went to the yamen, she always held you and teased her for a while. At the beginning, he wouldn't hold the child..."

"Your Majesty is reasonable and considerate of you, and consider it for you." Master Ji Er hugged Qin Xuan skillfully, and raised his head and said to Ji Xiaotang, "It's just that the Empress Dowager's place has been a long time, and I always feel that it's difficult to deal with."

"Yes." Mrs. Ji Er nodded, "Are you not going to take Xuan'er back to Xinhua Hall in the future?"

"Nothing is in the way." Ji Xiaotang smiled, "The current empress dowager is no longer the former empress dowager. She can't do anything to us."

"It is better to be careful. The empress dowager has been in charge for many years and has a deep root..." Master Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang earnestly.

"I remember what Dad said. When the prince comes back, I will tell him." Ji Xiaotang said immediately.

Master Ji Er nodded with relief.

"Dad is going to take my mother and Changsheng back today?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji Er.

Mrs. Ji Er has lived in Prince An's Mansion for more than a month. She is the head of the back house of Xinhua Hall. She has a mother-in-law who needs to be served and another pregnant daughter who needs to be taken care of.

"Your sister's belly is very big. The imperial physicians have seen it and said they are afraid that life will be ahead of schedule." Master Ji Er said.

"Then let my mother go back. It's rare for me to take care of me for so long. I can't dominate my mother and not let her go back." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, "But Changsheng is not in a hurry to go back. He lives well with me."

Ji Xiaotang had just made a marriage and had not yet married, Changsheng said that he would follow his sister to live in his brother-in-law's house in the future.

Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er discussed it and were both relieved that Changsheng would stay in Prince An's Mansion.

"Ask the meaning of Changsheng." Master Ji Er said.

Speaking of which, Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er are also rare parents. They are not as stubborn as other parents, and they have to make decisions for their children. On the contrary, they take good care of their children's emotions and discuss things so that their children can be independent from a very young age.

Soon, Ji Xiaotang beat someone and called Changsheng over.
