Chapter 114 Doll (6)
It is always more face-saving to be someone's husband than to be alone.After getting married, Yun Qiong became much more stable. In order to avoid being caught by Yun Heng, she was meticulous in her work and had a somewhat mature and prudent demeanor.
He sent the three-and-a-half-year-old Xiao Zhu to Yu Qiu, and said politely: "The child is naughty, if the emperor's sister-in-law lacks energy, just find a few palace maids to play with him, or send him to the general's mansion."
Yun Qiong got an errand recently and was going to Jizhou for more than a month, which is far away. Gongyi Mengyue was afraid that he would eat indiscriminately after leaving Beijing, so she wanted to go with him.The couple originally planned to send Xiao Zhu to General Gongyi's residence.
Yu Qiu wanted someone to come to the palace as a companion, but Yun Qiong was reluctant, and Gongyi Mengyue agreed, so she had to send him over.
After talking with Yu Qiu, he bent down to face the fat little spider, patted his bulging little purse a few times, and said with a straight face: "You can play, don't mess around, remember not!"
Xiao Zhu bit her finger and said softly, "Remember."
Yun Qiong slapped Xiao Zhu's head indiscriminately, and said goodbye reluctantly.
Xiao Zhu is one year younger than Jin'er, and she also has the good looks of a royal descendant, Xueyu is cute.Different from Jin'er, he was easy to cry when he was young, and loves to cry and laugh.
He has seen a lot, he is not afraid of Yu Qiu at all, walked to her side, and softly shouted: "Auntieββ"
Originally, he should have called Yu Qiu "Niangniang", but he was too young to remember, so he became "Niangqin" after shouting.Yun Heng heard him yelling this at a home banquet one day, and his face sank at that moment.
Yun Qiong broke out in a cold sweat, and taught Xiao Zhu to call Yu Qiu "Auntie" after returning home.
Yu Qiu just fell asleep Jin'er, seeing the cute doll, she was very curious, held him on her lap, fed him candied fruit, and asked: "Xiao Zhu stay with brother for a few more days, and listen to auntie reading together every day, okay?"it is good?"
Xiao Zhu nodded obediently, took a bite of candied fruit, then shook her head and stopped eating, her eyes were shining like bright stars on a summer night, she stared at Yu Qiu and said, "Auntie is so pretty!"
Yu Qiu was laughed at by him, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhu to be more and more good at speaking after not seeing each other for a while.She took the handkerchief from the palace maid and wiped Xiao Zhu's mouth, asking, "Where is it good?"
"This is beautiful." Xiao Zhu raised her finger and carefully touched the tassels of the hibiscus and golden flower earrings hanging under her ear, clapping her hands happily, "It's beautiful!"
He looked up again, pointing to the phoenix hairpin on Yu Qiu's head, "This one is also pretty, shiny!"
Yu Qiu thought to himself, as expected, he is a child, who doesn't know what beauty and ugliness are, and what he sees is bright, he thinks it looks good.
She pinched Little Spider's arm and asked him what he wanted for dinner.Xiao Zhu is completely different from Yun Qiong in this point, she doesn't care about food at all, she can do anything.
"Then let someone prepare whitebait soup, lotus root in honey sauce, golden bergamot rolls, and the milk corner that you ate two last time..."
Yu Qiu was thinking about what to feed the two little dolls, and as he talked, he saw that the corners of Xiao Zhu's mouth were a little wet.
She laughed and said, "Are you hungry?"
The little spider smiled with her white teeth showing, she was obedient and cute.Yu Qiu's heart was warm, and when he saw him, he remembered Jin'er's appearance when he was three years old. He tapped his little face lightly, and the saliva from the corner of Xiao Zhu's mouth overflowed a little.
She wiped Xiao Zhu's saliva, and when she raised her hand, her sleeve slipped down, revealing the bracelet on her wrist.Yu Qiu wore two bracelets on his wrists, one was a hollowed-out jade bracelet with flowers wrapped around it, and the other was for playing with dragons and pearls.
Children are very drooling, and Yu Qiu was seriously wiping Xiao Zhu's saliva when she suddenly saw a small fat hand touching her bracelet.
"Pretty!" Xiao Zhu's eyes glowed, staring intently at her bracelet.Yu Qiu turned his gaze and saw that the corners of his mouth that had just been wiped clean were wet again.
"So it's not the dinner, but my jewelry?" Yu Qiu finally understood.
She took off the flower-wrapped bracelet, handed it to Xiao Zhu, and said, "Here you are, stop drooling."
Xiao Zhu grabbed the bracelet like a baby, very happy, and twisted his body to find his little pouch.
Yu Qiu noticed the little purse on his body the first time she saw him today. Children like them like to play around and don't like to wear things on their bodies. It was the first time she saw Xiao Zhu wearing a purse.
The purse was not big, but it was full of gemstones of various colors. Yu Qiu also saw a jade buckle with several silk threads wrapped around it.No matter how she looked at it, she felt that it was picked from someone.
"Where did this come from?" Yu Qiu asked.
Xiao Zhu counted the treasures in her purse, shaking her head like a rattle, "I don't know."
Yu Qiu turned to look at the maid who stayed with him, and the maid hurriedly said: "I met the little uncle of Gongyi's family outside the palace gate, and picked it off his clothes."
Yu Qiu felt ashamed, and pulled off the silk thread on top, suspecting that Gongyi's little uncle's clothes might have been torn by him.
She helped Xiao Zhu put the bracelet into the purse, put it on for him, and Xiao Zhu stopped drooling.
After Jin'er woke up, the two children were playing together in the imperial garden. While the two were having fun, Yu Qiu asked the palace maid to watch and went to find Yunheng by herself.
At the court meeting this morning, several ministers quarreled over the issue of the Northern Expedition, and two of them contradicted Yun Heng. Yun Heng was not in a good mood, and Yu Qiu was afraid that he would get angry and kill him.
Yu Qiu doesn't understand political affairs. In her eyes, those who can enter the court and become officials are all talented. When there are more people, they will consider issues more carefully. It is normal to have differences when discussing political affairs.
It would be terrible if all the ministers had the same opinion one day.
There were two ministers kneeling at the entrance of the side hall where the affairs were discussed. Yu Qiu glanced at them and recognized the two court officials that Yun Heng had told her many times, emphasizing civility over military affairs.
She pretended she didn't see it, and quietly entered the hall after being silenced. As soon as she lifted the curtain, Yun Heng noticed.
Yu Qiu saw him lift his eyelids, and when he saw himself, he quickly hid a touch of green in his hand into his sleeve.Yu Qiu has already seen clearly that it is that jade pendant again. It has been several years, and he still hasn't given up the method of finding a dream by finding an eminent monk.
She thought that Yun Heng was planning how to deal with the two officials, but she didn't expect them to be doing nothing inside.
Seeing that he was not in a good mood today, Yu Qiu didn't talk about him, and approached him and asked, "How long do you plan to make Master Zhou and Master Yu kneel?"
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics." Yun Heng put on airs and said.
Yu Qiu was just a step away from him, but stopped when he heard the words, "Then I'm leaving?"
Yun Heng glanced at her coolly, Yu Qiu curled up his mouth and smiled, walked around behind him and lay on his back, patted him with his arms around him, and said in the tone of talking to Jin'er:At any rate, they are senior members of the third rank. At such an age, they all want to save face. Itβs fine to scold them at the court meeting, but you let them kneel for most of the day, and if word spreads, how can they establish dignity in front of the people below?β
"Where are you coaxing the child?" Yun Heng was very dissatisfied.
Yu Qiu scratched his face, and after being with the two children for a long time, his words were unconsciously led astray.
She cleared her throat and pressed her body on Yun Heng's back.Yun Heng's spine was straight, and he couldn't bend it even with all his strength.
So Yu Qiu put his elbow on Yun Heng's shoulder, leaned forward from his shoulder, and said, "I'm not coaxing a child, am I coaxing my husband?"
As he spoke, he tapped his hand on Yun Heng's face, purely to tease him as a Jin'er.
Yun Heng grabbed her hand, looked sideways and said: "Then your way of coaxing people is very strange, next time you get angry, I will also press on your back to coax you like this, to see if you can calm down."
"That can't be done, you are as heavy as a hill." Yu Qiu leaned on him and smiled coquettishly, "I can only hold you down..."
Yun Heng lowered his voice, "It's nice to say,... why don't you agree to let you suppress me?"
Yu Qiu felt ashamed and covered his mouth.
The two talked for a while, and slowly, Yu Qiu was dragged into his arms, his clothes were crumpled by his palms, and the lip balm was gone.
The hall was charming, and there were hurried footsteps outside, Yu Qiu pushed Yun Heng in a panic, and seeing him leaning forward relentlessly, covered his mouth again, holding his breath and listening to the sound outside.
"Is the lady in there?"
Knowing that this is the big palace maid she left behind to take care of the two children, Yu Qiu got up from Yun Heng's lap, hurriedly straightened her clothes, wiped her lips and walked out quickly.
"What's wrong?"
The palace maid saw her as if she had seen a savior, and said, "The prince and the prince are fighting! The slaves can't stop..."
It was said that when the two children were having fun, Xiao Zhu dropped her purse, and Jin'er saw the bracelet inside.Recognizing that it belonged to Yu Qiu, he wanted to snatch it back.The little spider said it was his, but refused to give it to him.
During the quarrel, don't know who made the first move. One fell and broke his hand, and the other was bitten.
The palace maid wanted to pull people away, and she could pull them away, but although the two of them were young and distinguished, no one dared to force people away.
Yu Qiu hurried back and saw the palace maids trying to persuade them from a distance. Pushing away the palace maid, he saw two children wrestling together to grab a bracelet. Their shoes and socks went somewhere, and their bare feet stepped on the gravel.There are scattered pearls and gems and small purses on the side.
"Let go, don't grab it!" Yu Qiu said anxiously.
Hearing her voice, Xiao Zhu burst into tears, the tears were like broken beads, the dust on his face was instantly wet with tears, his fair and clean face became dirty, and he grabbed the braceletScuffed, but not loose at all.
With tears in her eyes, Jin'er looked at Yu Qiu aggrievedly, with a tooth mark on her palm, and she didn't let go.
Yu Qiu felt distressed seeing it, why did the brothers who had a good time start fighting after she left for a while.
She squatted down in front of the two of them, put her arms around one of them, and said to Jin'er as gently as possible: "You are an older brother, how can you rob my younger brother?"
"It's not his!" Jin'er retorted loudly.
Yu Qiu said: "I gave this to Xiao Zhu, if you give it to him, it's his."
Jin'er kept her mouth shut.Yu Qiu said again: "Is it obedient or not?"
After she finished asking, Jin'er didn't answer immediately, and she didn't speak anymore, just looking at Jin'er.In the end, Jin'er blushed, choked up, and let go of her hand.
The bad thing was that he let go of his hand suddenly, without the strength to fight, Xiao Zhu staggered and fell backwards.
Fortunately, Yu Qiu's hand was behind her, but the child was small and very solid, and she couldn't protect her with one hand, so she hurriedly let go of Jin'er to hug Xiao Zhu.
Xiao Zhu was hugged by her, and seeing Xiao Zhu's face flushed with gravel, Yu Qiu hugged him and carefully wiped his face with his fingers, and coaxed: "Be good, be good, it will hurt if you cry again."..."
Before she had time to coax this sentence, Jin'er suddenly rushed over and gave Xiao Zhu a hard push.
Yu Qiu was stunned, and subconsciously protected Xiao Zhu. Seeing that Jin'er refused to give up, she continued to push, hugged one with one hand, and asked, "Why do you push younger brother?"
No one answered him.
She can hug the small bodies of the two children, but she can't control the four small arms.
The two were close, and Jin'er swung up with one hand, hitting Xiao Zhu's ear just in time.After being beaten, Xiao Zhu tearfully refused to back down, and beat back with the bracelet.
Yu Qiu panicked, the two little dolls were equally strong, she couldn't separate them by herself, so she hurriedly called the palace maid to come up and take him away.
The two children didn't dare to do anything to her, and they were not polite to the palace maid at all.
"Stop fighting, separate! I'm going to be angry!"
Ren Yuqiu didn't say anything. When he saw Yun Heng following him when he was in a panic, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, hurry up! Come and help!"
Just as Yun Heng put the two ministers back, he came here specially to see what the two skinny kids did that worried Yu Qiu.After confirming that Yu Qiu was intact, Yun Heng smiled when he looked closely at the two crying children.
Contrary to Yu Qiu, his eyes were filled with interest, and he asked without haste, "How can I help?"
"You still ask!" Yu Qiu held down the two of them with great effort, and glared at him angrily after hearing his words, "Hug one first and then talk!"
"All right." Yun Heng said.
Then he slowly stretched his cuffs, approached, bent down, and hugged Yu Qiu.
