The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(160)

Rich Man Mao was angry, angry and sad, and his illness was cured by anger.

In order to prevent himself from being thrown on the street after his family property was divided, Rich Man Mao began to attack his own son. It's not that he was ruthless, he just took back all the rights in their hands and would rather let them idle than let them help take care of the family business.

Let Yao Niang see, Emperor Hongjing and Prince Jin are in this state now.

The father is getting old, and the sons are all thinking about the things in their father's hands. There are only so many right and wrongs in a small rich man's family, let alone the Tian family.

Yao Niang guessed that the sons of King Jin had done something that made the Holy Emperor angry, so the Holy Emperor punished these sons. So now we shouldn't go head-on, but should be honest. The more honest the better. Once this period of time is over, the days to come will be easier.

Yao Niang is a soft-hearted person. As long as her bottom line is not violated, she usually won't question too much. But King Jin was different. She was afraid that King Jin would become rebellious and confront Emperor Hongjing.

Sons who are against me usually don't get along well.

She couldn't explain anything, so she could only coax King Jin. After this man was coaxed and calmed down, he didn't have much energy to confront Emperor Hongjing.

"Today is your father's first day on duty. How about we pick him up when he gets off duty? No, mother can't go out now. Your father's anger will be even more intense if he goes. Xiaobao, can you go there for mother? Okay? My little baby is tender and cute. Even if your father is full of anger, he will definitely lose his temper when he sees you."

In fact, Yao Niang had a deeper meaning. She used Xiao Bao to remind King Jin that you are the father of two children. If you can't do anything, don't do it. You must always think about your children.

So when King Jin came out of the government office after going off duty, he saw a car parked in front of the door, and Xiao Shunzi stood beside the car with a smile on his face. As soon as I saw him coming, I hurriedly opened the car curtain and saw a baby sitting in the car.

As soon as the baby saw him, he said, "Dad, Mom asked me to pick you up for your next shift."

King Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said oh.

small theater:

King Jin: Who told you that I am angry?

Yaoniang: I guessed.

King Jin: Who told you that I covet the old man’s property? (Even if I am greedy, what I am greedy for is not property.)

Yaoniang: I guessed.

King Jin: (with a look of disdain) I don’t have to fight for world supremacy if I’m like you. I can just keep my wife and children on the bed and raise them at home every day. Other people's good wives are jerking their butts from behind, but you really wish that this king could be as useless as he is.

Yao Niang: (blushing) Then do you want your wife and children to be on the hot bed? Kangtou, hot kangtou!

King Jin: (squinting) I, the King, think about it for a moment.

Chapter 127

King Jin handed the green bag to Xiao Shunzi and got into the car.

Chun'er was originally in the car, but as soon as he saw King Jin, he hurried out. This carriage used by wealthy people is very thoughtful. Not only can people sit on the front shaft, but there is also a row of shafts at the back of the carriage for people to sit on. Chun'er and another young eunuch went to sit in the back.

The carriage started moving, not very fast.

In the car, King Jin sat next to Xiaobao.

"Why did your mother let you come?" Compared with Yao Niang, Jin Wang does not talk to children in a funny way, so his way of talking to Xiaobao is more like that of a sensible child.

In fact, King Jin learned this from Yao Niang, but Yao Niang spoke to Xiaobao seriously and did not point out that Xiaobao could answer him. The same was true for King Jin, but he saw that Xiaobao was much smarter than other children of the same age, and felt that this way of speaking made his son smart.

Sometimes Xiaobao can also ask and answer questions with him. The answers were strange, but it could be seen that Xiaobao's order was gradually forming, which made Prince Jin even more happy with it. But usually in the house, Yao Niang has finished all the words, and he seems to be relatively less talkative.

"Mom said, dad is on duty for the first time."

King Jin nodded.

"Mom also said that when dad saw Xiaobao, he lost his temper."

anger? Where did she know that she was angry?

Xiaobao glanced at King Jin's opaque face and said, "Mom said that dad worked hard and that the emperor's grandfather was bad and deliberately bullied dad."

Yao Niang did say the first sentence, but Xiaobao made up the rest.

Prince Jin laughed a little. This girl has become more and more courageous recently, and she even dared to say bad things about the Holy Emperor. It was like what she would say. That time when he saw her changing her words and praising the Emperor, he praised her in a way that he didn't mean it.

As for deliberately bullying him? It can't be called that, but he just wants to suppress his sons who are sharp-edged and unwilling to submit to others. But the problem is that many things cannot be suppressed. I hope his father will not be disappointed when the time comes.

"From now on, please don't say such things as the emperor's uncle is bad. If someone hears it -" King Jin found an explanation that was relatively easy for children to understand, "you won't give Xiaobao a piece of cake."

Xiaobao had the urge to hit his face against the wall. Although he usually behaved like a coquettish fool with his mother, he could do anything, but he just felt awkward when meeting his father. Especially when his father said such childish and childish words to him with a solemn face, he found it particularly unacceptable.

The key question is that in order to pretend to be young, he still has to answer.

"Eat cake, Xiaobao, don't talk anymore."

Generally, in this situation, Yao Niang would encourage Xiao Bao to do some sweet things. The King of Jin, who thought that he only wanted to sweeten Yao Niang and didn't even want to favor his son, decided to use another method that Yao Niang usually used. He glanced at the bag next to him and remembered that there were two pieces of cakes left in it, so he opened the bag and took out a small box from it.

The box was specially made, half a foot long and four inches wide, black lacquer with gold, very exquisite, and well sealed. He opened the box, and there was still a piece of horse hoof Su and a piece of lotus root powder cake left in it. The King of Jin didn't like sweet food, so Yao Niang only packed one piece, and there were some salty cakes, all of which were eaten by the King of Jin.

He didn't eat enough for lunch, so he ate some cakes to fill his stomach.

The King of Jin put the box in front of Xiao Bao, and Xiao Bao felt a little ashamed. He misunderstood that the King of Jin misheard his words and thought he was asking for cakes.

Seeing his son not moving, the Prince of Jin said considerately, "This is what your mother pretended this morning."

In the past, whenever Yao Niang was mentioned, Xiao Bao always ate with extra relish. Xiao Bao also reached out to take it, but it was not because of his mother, but because he had figured it out. He was just a baby, why should he care about shame.

It was close to each other, so Xiao Bao had just finished eating a piece of cake when he got home.

The father and son got out of the car. The Prince of Jin had too long legs and Xiao Bao's legs were too short. In addition, the sun was blazing at the moment, so the Prince of Jin simply picked him up and strode all the way to Rong Xiyuan.

Yes, the courtyard where Yao Niang lives is still called Rong Xiyuan. Originally, because this palace was built just for decoration, and it was only used occasionally when returning to Beijing, so many courtyards were not named. A few days ago, Yu Chan mentioned this matter, saying that the courtyard had no name and it was not convenient to call it. Yao Niang didn't want to bother thinking, so she called it Rong Xiyuan.

In Rongxi Courtyard, Yaoniang was looking forward to it. When she saw Prince Jin and Xiaobao coming back, she went to greet them.

Although it was July, the weather was still very hot. There was an ice pot in the corner of the room with ice cubes in it. The lattice window was half open, and a gentle breeze blew in, making the whole room cool. The pillows and armrests on the big kang by the window had been cleared away long ago, and a custard mat was laid on it.

At this time, Erbao was lying on it, with a piece of cotton cloth under him, looking here curiously.

Erbao was already a full month old. Nowadays, it is important to accumulate blessings for infants in swaddling clothes, so only the third and first birthdays are celebrated, and the full month is not celebrated. So on the day of Erbao's full month, only Prince Jin, Yaoniang, and Xiaobao had a meal together.

Erbao and Xiaobao looked a bit alike when they were young. They were both fair and tender, with delicate features and slender eye contours. But this was Yaoniang's self-perception, because when Xiaobao was just born, she was the only one who had seen it here.

As if curious about what the group of people in front of him were doing, Erbao babbled something that others couldn't understand, and his hands and feet moved. He couldn't turn over yet, so he could only look with his head tilted. This child was also impatient. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, his movements and voices became louder.

Xiaobao asked Hongchou to wipe his hands and face with a wet towel, and then hurried over. He first reached out and stroked Erbao's little head in a similar way, then asked Hongfei to take off his shoes for him and climbed onto the kang.

Erbao followed his brother with dark eyes. The two brothers played with a drum, and Xiaobao shook it vigorously. Erbao was also happy to watch, and laughed excitedly from time to time.

Yao Niang wanted to help King Jin change his clothes, but King Jin didn't let her. He asked the maids to prepare water and went to the bathroom.

He came out again not long after, changed into a loose and comfortable outfit, with a romantic temperament of some famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He wore a wide-sleeved gown, his long hair was tied behind him, and he didn't wear socks on his feet. He just came out in a pair of slippers.

"Are you hungry? Did you have lunch at noon? Is the food good?" Yao Niang was about to ask the maid to prepare some food. She was always afraid that the King of Jin couldn't eat the public kitchen in the government office and came back hungry all day.

The King of Jin held her back and said, "No, lunch is ready."

"Is the food in the government office good?"

Anyway, a man like the King of Jin couldn't understand Yao Niang's focus. But he told her the truth, and Yao Niang was really impressed and said that the dishes were not very delicious. Not only were they not very delicious, they were obviously just plain food. She planned to prepare some dishes for the King of Jin to take to the government office tomorrow, or send someone to deliver food at a certain time?

Just thinking about it, Erbao suddenly hummed softly. You can tell from his voice that he was either hungry or sleepy. But Erbao had just eaten not long ago, so he should be sleepy. Yao Niang held him in her arms and patted him gently for a while, and Erbao fell asleep.

It was only the afternoon, and it was still early for dinner. Because the King of Jin was on duty today, Yao Niang was worried about him all day, and she and Xiaobao did not take a nap after dinner. Now both mother and son were a little sleepy. Xiaobao lay beside Erbao, watching his mother patting his brother again and again, and closed his eyes unconsciously.
