Queen Mother Han would not have thought of this, but she still did it because she had to.??????          

Of course, Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen also understood the truth.

"Everything is for Xuan'er." Qin Zhen lowered his head and kissed Xuan'er's red face. "If only Xuan'er can be safe, then I will go and fight for that seat."

Ji Xiaotang sighed softly. She believed Qin Zhen's words.

Even without Xuan'er, Qin Zhen may not have no ambition. It is a necessity and a last resort. Now with Xuan'er, Ji Xiaotang believes that Qin Zhen will plan more for Xuan'er.

That is also a kind of inevitability, a kind of involuntary action.

Ji Xiaotang believed Qin Zhen without doubt because as a mother, she was the same. She originally had a goal and a complete set of plans, but after having Xuan'er, she immediately adjusted these things.

Because Xuan'er is also for Xuan'er.

In the autumn of the 11th year of Longqing, the Qin Dynasty and the palace were surging, and the two brothers Qin Zhen and Qin Lin were in conflict and almost tore their faces apart. Unlike the tense situation in Beijing, Qi Younian kept coming from Zhenshan Pass.

The strategy of farming was smooth and tense, and Zhenshanguan had a bumper harvest in autumn.

In two years, Qi Younian's plan to farm in Zhenshanguan has achieved fruitful results. Although the weather is still a bit dry this year, the food and grass in Zhenshanguan can almost be given only.

With the report, Qi Younian also beat people to bring the local products from the Zhenshanguan Army’s fields, that is, the foreign grains.

Foreign grain has now gradually been promoted in Daqin, but the best one to grow foreign grain is the military field in Zhenshanguan.

This time, Cheng Dazhong was still the one who was sent to Beijing to deliver memorials and local products. After Cheng Dazhong finished his business, he went to Prince An's Mansion as usual and gave Ji Xiaotang a local product to Zhenshanguan.

Ji Xiaotang met Cheng Dazhong with Xuan'er in Duofu Xuan.

After two years of stationed in Zhenshan Pass, Cheng Dazhong's face became more vicissitudes and courageous, and his people became more calm. However, when he saw Ji Xiaotang appearing in Duofuxuan with Xuan'er, Cheng Dazhong's face still showed a sincere smile.

"Please pay tribute to the county lord and to the young prince." Cheng Dazhong stepped forward to salute.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and asked Cheng Dazhong to get up, and asked the little girl who served beside her to bring a chair and invite Cheng Dazhong to sit down. Cheng Dazhong is not only Qi Younian's confidant, but also a general of the Zhenshanguan Guard. Even though his position is in Prince An's Mansion and is not enough to look at in front of the princess Ji Xiaotang, it is worthy of respect.

Therefore, every time I met Cheng Dazhong and Ji Xiaotang would let him sit on the chair.

Cheng Dazhong handed over Qi Younian's letter and presented the gift list one by one. Then he bowed to Ji Xiaotang, straightened his back and sat on the chair.

Ji Xiaotang took the letter and gift list, put the gift list aside first, picked up Qi Younian's letter and opened it to see it.

She held Xuan'er in one hand and took the letter in the other hand to read it.

Xuan'er sat in Ji Xiaotang's arms quite stable. Ji Xiaotang took the letter and looked at it. His head also leaned over and read the letter with Ji Xiaotang. It seemed that he could understand the words on Qi Younian's letter.

Qi Younian's letter is still very thick, but it seems to be much shorter than the previous letter.

When Ji Xiaotang saw the end of the letter, she was thinking in her heart. Xuan'er sat in her arms and stretched out her chubby little hand and grabbed the gift list that Ji Xiaotang placed on the table.

Xuan'er grabbed the gift list, and while screaming, she grabbed the gift list in front of Ji Xiaotang like a treasure, as if urging her to look at it quickly.

Looking at the gift list that was wrinkled by Xuan'er and the happy and anxious smile that was as anxious as Xuan'er, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing, and put down the letter and took the gift list from Xuan'er.

Xuan'er refused to let go, as if he asked Ji Xiaotang to see the gift list with his hand.

"Does Xuan'er know that this is a gift list, which was sent by Uncle Ayou, so she can't bear to let go?" Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Xuan'er didn't know what Ji Xiaotang was saying, and she screamed even more happily.

"The little prince is very strong, lively and cute." Cheng Dazhong's eyes fell on Xuan'er a lot, and he said at this time.

"Xuan'er is very naughty." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"...The last time the Marshal received a portrait of the little prince painted by the county lord. It was extremely rare. The Marshal personally framed the portrait and hung it in his study. He said that he was tired and tired. Looking at the portrait of the little prince, it would be even more refreshing. The Marshal also praised the young prince for his appearance...it was almost exactly the same as the county lord."

Qi Younian said in front of him that Qin Xuan was beautiful and cute, and then said that Qin Xuan looked exactly the same as Ji Xiaotang.

Cheng Dazhong kept a secret and concealed the previous half of the sentence.

Qi Younian is...Love the house and the Wu.

Even if he did not convey all Qi Younian's words, based on Ji Xiaotang's intelligence and understanding of Qi Younian, he should be able to guess the meaning of his entire sentence.

Ji Xiaotang's smile was very gentle, and Qi Younian also mentioned Xuan'er in the letter. Ji Xiaotang could feel that Qi Younian's concern for Xuan'er came from the heart.

"You marshal also said in the letter, and said he wanted me to draw another portrait of Xuan'er. He wanted to know how Xuan'er looks now."

"It's really a relief for the county lord." Cheng Dazhong immediately answered, "The Marshal is really hard at Zhenshanguan..."

The environment of Zhenshanguan is simply incomparable to the capital. It is windy and sandy and is severely cold in winter. Qi Younian not only needs to catch military farms, but also guard the city defense, and also deal with the Northern Barbarians who come to harass from time to time.

Every time Qi Younian sends good news, Ji Xiaotang knows what Qi Younian has done behind those good news and achievements.???

"I expected Ayou to ask this, and the portrait was ready." Ji Xiaotang said.

Although she was very busy these days, she still took her free time and drew a portrait of Xuan'er. This portrait was specially painted for Qi You New Year.

"The county lord has prepared the portrait of the little prince?" Cheng Dazhong was very happy. Even if he was a rough man, he understood the meaning of Ji Xiaotang doing this.

Qi Younian always cared about Ji Xiaotang in Zhenshanguan, and Ji Xiaotang did not forget Qi Younian.

"It's ready. But that's two months ago. If time is enough, I'll draw another one later..."

"It's too late, it's too late. It's great. The marshal must be very happy when he knows it." Cheng Dazhong said happily without waiting for Ji Xiaotang to finish his words.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and then lowered his head. He looked at the gift list sent by Qi Younian with Xuan'er's hand.

The gifts Qi Younian sent were still very generous, not only with various specialties from Zhenshanguan Juntian, but also with some gadgets he made himself.

Ji Xiaotang read out the things on the gift list one by one for Xuan'er to listen to.

"The rattle that Xuan'er loves to play the most was given to her by Uncle Ayou. This time Uncle Ayou gave you a lot of fun things. Is Xuan'er happy?"

Xuan'er immediately shouted twice in response, as if she understood Ji Xiaotang's words.

Qi Younian not only gave many gadgets suitable for Xuan'er, but also made some things that were obviously used for Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang read these things once and didn't read them out loud.

After reading the gift list, Ji Xiaotang did not rush to paint, but asked Cheng Dazhong if there was any movement in the Beiman people recently.

"When did they calm down? It's just that there is a marshal stationed in it. They only dare to test and dare not really come forward." Cheng Dazhong said immediately.

"Has their harassment been more frequent recently? According to your marshal, will the Northern Barbarians be unable to sit still?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

Cheng Dazhong's tone was slightly paused.

"I understand your concerns and your marshal's concerns. Even if it's just speculation, it's okay to talk to me. Ah You wrote less letters this time. If there weren't too many important things that made him unable to clone him, he wouldn't have been like this."

After hearing Ji Xiaotang's judgment, Cheng Dazhong knew that some things could not be concealed.

"... The Marshal was not sure, for fear that the county lord would worry, so he did not say it in the letter, nor did he let the last general mention it." The Northern Barbarians have been doing frequent actions recently, as if something was brewing.

"The harvest of Zhenshanguan is good. The Northern Barbarians are so happy to see the hunting, and they are jealous!" Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"What the county magistrate said is consistent with the marshal's opinion." Cheng Dazhong said sincerely.

Ji Xiaotang asked about Qi Younian's recent situation and the matter about Zhenshanguan, and ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet and arrange for someone to accompany Cheng Dazhong to have a banquet. After killing Cheng Dazhong, Ji Xiaotang drew another portrait of Xuan'er.

"Xuaner. There is a war in the north." After drawing the portrait, Ji Xiaotang held the portrait in one hand and picked up Xuaner in the other, muttering.

...

Qi Younian sent good news that was enough to inspire the court, but it could not stop the increasingly intense storm in the court. However, Qi Younian sent another battle report with the good news. It was different.

Qi Younian did not mention it in his letter to Ji Xiaotang, but in his battle report to Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han, he described in detail the recent movements of the Northern Barbarians.

When Qin Zhen came back from court, he talked about this with Ji Xiaotang.

"Somewhat exaggerates..." Qin Zhen's evaluation of Qi Younian's war report this time.

There have been many movements from the Northern Barbarians recently, but Qi Younian's battle report is a bit exaggerated.

Ji Xiaotang suddenly understood why Qi Younian refused to say these things in his letter.

"The prince thinks..."

"It should be the third brother's idea." Qin Zhen sat down on the couch and looked around.

"Xuan'er just fell asleep." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Qin Zhen said oh, then continued to say something just now.

He believed that Qi Younian's battle report was a benefit to Qin Lin. Although Qin Lin did not achieve his final goal in this storm, he also gained a lot. However, if he continued to consume this way, it would be unfavorable for him.

At this time, the only thing that can calm the court is the foreign enemy.

The Northern Barbarians are in a strange movement, and the enemy is in front of them. No matter who they are, they must temporarily put down other things.

The war report sent by Qi Younian is not a lie.

It would be only a matter of time before the Northern Barbarians could not die. Qi Younian sent this war report at this critical moment, which was a good thing for the country and people of Daqin.

"No matter what, the court should be able to calm down." Qin Zhen said, which was what he hoped.

"Have Cheng Dazhong been here?" Qin Zhen then asked.

Qi Younian said that the letter and gift list that he had never given was on the table, and Ji Xiaotang brought it back from Duofuxuan and placed it there, but it did not put it away.

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded and talked about Xuan'er's gift list.

Qin Zhen was amused.

"This little guy Xuan'er!"
