Ji Zishan has been in and out of the Imperial Study since she was a child. The Imperial Study is a military and political important place. Therefore, His Majesty Ji Ziqing and Empress Dowager Hui'an have reminded her that no matter what she heard and saw in the Imperial Study, they cannot talk about it casually. Ji Zishan has gone through more than ten years of tests and has always done a very good job of confidentiality. After analyzing the hidden meaning of His Majesty Ji Ziqing's words with Empress Dowager Hui'an, Ji Zishan promised, "The emperor's brother will ask me to give Yuanyuan a painting. For anything else, he said nothing."
"Little devil!" Empress Dowager Hui'an smiled and pointed at Ji Zishan's forehead.
Ji Zishan smiled and reached out to hold the bird's nest next to her.
At noon, His Majesty Ji Ziqing, Prince Yuanyuan and Prince Yuanbao gathered to Cining Palace for lunch. After the meal, the emperor and his brothers accompanied Queen Mother Hui'an to talk about homely words, but Ji Zishan pushed Prince Yuanyuan to the west side hall where he lived. After the nanny and palace maids were removed, Ji Zishan handed the long wooden box to Prince Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, this is what your father asked his aunt to hand it over to you."
"For me?" The eldest prince Yuanyuan opened his clear eyes and said in a slight confusion.
Ji Zishan nodded: "Yes."
The eldest prince Yuanyuan opened the box and rolled up the scroll. When he saw his mother's familiar warm smile, the eldest prince immediately burst into tears. He shed tears and choked and said in a low voice: "My mother..." After Queen Dong finished the funeral ceremony, the eldest prince Yuanyuan never cried as a person. At this moment, the pain buried in his heart rushed out of his heart like a volcano erupting when he saw his mother's voice, appearance and smile.
Ji Zishan hugged the eldest prince Yuanyuan, patted his back gently, and comforted softly: "Yuanyuan, there are no outsiders here, just cry if you want to cry..." Human beings are emotional animals. Whether they are angry or sad, they must vent such bad emotions. Otherwise, if they are held back, they will inevitably hurt their bodies. As the eldest prince Yuanyuan, as the eldest son of the royal family, since he was a little sensible, he has been strictly required to do everything. He always enforces the code of conduct such as "a man will not cry easily".
The eldest prince Yuanyuan buried his head in Ji Zishan's arms, suppressing his voice and sobbing. Ji Zishan was speechless for a moment and only gently stroked the back of his nephew. After a long time, the eldest prince Yuanyuan gradually stopped crying and said in a muffled voice: "Auntie, don't tell others about my crying."
"Your emperor's grandmother is not good either?" Ji Zishan teased softly.
The eldest prince Yuanyuan hummed angrily: "No."
"Okay." Ji Zishan touched the head of the eldest prince Yuanyuan and said warmly, "You must keep the painting your father gave you. If you miss your mother in the future, take it out and take it out and take it. Yuanyuan, remember, although your father doesn't say it, he... loves you very much."
The eldest prince Yuanyuan raised his head, his eyes as clear as if he had just been washed by water, and he deliberately said in his mouth: "I feel that my father loves my aunt the most."
"Why, boy, are you jealous of your aunt?" Ji Zishan pointed at the eyebrows of the Yuanyuan eldest prince and raised her eyebrows and asked.
The eldest prince Yuanyuan hummed in a low voice: "A little bit."
"Young man, you will understand from now on who your father feels most sorry for." Ji Zishan sighed long, alas, her poor little prince-consort, after Mu Huaiqian's spring examination ended next year, she would have to prepare a generous gift to compensate him.
It was the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and more than ten days later, the 14th year of Jianping was ushered in. Because Queen Dong had not yet had a hundred days left, the Spring Festival in the palace was relatively simple. By the end of the first lunar month, the little prince Yuanbao, who was already sixteen years old, officially moved to the Kang Mansion outside the palace to live.
Five days after the little prince Yuanbao moved to his new home, Ji Zishan came to visit.
In early spring, the thin willow branches hang around the ground, and you can vaguely see tender new buds. Ji Zishan carried her hands and walked around the willow dike for a while before she saw the little prince Yuanbao coming from a distance. After the brother and sister met, Ji Zishan circled around Yuanbao and asked with a smile: "Brother, how do you feel like working in the yamen?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Yuanbao asked replies without answering.
Ji Zishan raised her eyebrows: "Like it."
The little prince Yuanbao choked for a moment before saying, "It's pretty good."
"Is that a habit of living in the royal palace? I want to tell the truth." Ji Zishan said again.
The little prince Yuanbao smiled and said, "I'm a little unaccustomed to it. You know, I'm a little recognizing the bed."
Ji Zishan let out a long "oh" and her eyes rolled around a few times: "I came to your palace today. There are three things in total. First, I will ask you how you feel when you take office with your new official, second, I will ask you if you are used to living in the palace on behalf of my mother. Third, it only means myself... to have lunch with you."
The little prince Yuanbao reached out and grabbed the little girl's ear, and hummed and said, "Okay, after the third thing, you can hurry back to the palace for me."
"What are you urging me? I've just come out not long ago." Ji Zishan tried hard to regain her ears and hummed unhappily.
The little prince Yuanbao glanced at the little girl with a stern eyes and scolded with a stern face: "What else do you want to do if you don't go back to the palace? Let me tell you, I will go to the office of the Ministry of Personnel in the afternoon, and I have no time to wander around you. Also, the test is approaching, and there are many people coming in from the capital, which is messy, you are not allowed to run around alone..." Seeing the little sister bulging her cheeks and looking very bored, she said softly, "After waiting for a while, the weather is getting warmer, brother will accompany you out for a walk."
"Who is thinking about playing? I'm thinking..." Ji Zishan stopped talking.
The little prince Yuanbao asked with interest: "I didn't think about playing, then what are you thinking?"
"I'm wondering what ranking Mu Huaiqian can get. It would be great if he could get the first place." Ji Zishan whispered to her fingers.
The little prince Yuanbao had a cold face: "..." You might as well think about playing.
After the brother and sister had lunch, the brother and sister promised to go to Mu's mansion before the exam and conveyed her intention of giving Mu Huaiqian the title of the Golden List, Ji Zishan honestly climbed onto the carriage back to the palace. The little prince Yuanbao was a person who would say what he said. That afternoon, he walked around the Mu's mansion and conveyed his little sister's feelings more obscurely. Mu Huaiqian's cheeks were slightly red and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words from the prince and the princess."
"Among my four companions, you, Yuze, and Deyi are all lucky to refer to this session. When I came to your mansion alone, I didn't even go to the cousin Yuze, so don't let me disappoint you." The little prince Yuanbao gently stroked the wind-haired cuffs and said with a hint, "However, I am disappointed, I am not disappointed. You can't show your ability and ask Your Majesty to look at him differently, that's a big deal."
The little prince Yuanbao arrived at Mu's mansion lightly, and then left lightly, which made Uncle Mu and Grandma Mu a little confused. Facing the inexplicable gaze of his brother and sister-in-law, Mu Huaiqian pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'll go back to the yard first, you can do it yourself."
What did the Fifth Prince mean just now?
... Could it be that Your Majesty already knows about the little princess Taohua and him?
After returning to the yard, Mu Huaiqian looked at the blooming spring plum blossoms and thought of Ning Yuze again. He had always had the eyes of the little princess peach blossoms, if so...
The next day, Ji Zishan had just arrived at Cining Palace in a daze and heard laughter inside. When she entered the hall, she saw Empress Dowager Hui'an was talking intimately with Prince Yuanbao. Her joyful expression seemed to have not seen her youngest son for eight hundred years. Ji Zishan walked in with a jealous expression, "Mother, I haven't seen my youngest brother for only a few days. Look at you, you are so happy that you are almost eighteen-year-old girl!"
Empress Dowager Hui'an laughed like a flower, but cursed: "——What are you talking nonsense? Can the mother be an old fairy?!"
The little prince Yuanbao smiled and interrupted, "Fan, come here, brother whisper to you, keep your ears in mind, you can be happy to be a three-month-old baby..." In the silent eyes of Empress Dowager Hui'an holding his forehead, the little prince Yuanbao was obsessed with Ji Zishan and muttered softly for a while.
After hearing this, Ji Zishan pinched her throat and laughed twice as she heard from the little doll: "Gee..." Humph, Yuanbao Matchmaker, can she not know whether Mu Huaiqian is interested in her? Hehe.
