Xiaosi thought for a moment and suddenly reached out to his brother.
Shen Yuanzhan was slightly startled at first, then his eyes showed affection, and he said warmly: "Brother seems to have not hugged Xiaosi for a long time."
He leaned over and picked up Xiaosi, bumping her gently, his face filled with emotion, "Xiaosi has grown up."
Xiao Si looked at his brother, but at this moment he couldn't help but pursed his lips, "Brother, did someone say something in front of you?"
Shen Yuanzhan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Why did Xiaosi say this?"
Xiao Si clasped his fingers seriously, "Xiao Si is only six years old, not yet old enough to participate in political affairs! But my brother asked Xiao Si to come and observe today. Xiao Si feels that my brother is doing it for others to see."
When Shen Yuanzhan heard this, he couldn't help but hug Xiao Si tightly in his arms, his face full of relief and doting.
"Our juniors are really smart."
Shen Yuanzhan discovered that after becoming an emperor, he would hear all kinds of different voices, including speculation, suspicion, flattery and even temptation.
Among the notes I received over the past few days, in addition to those who slandered Qiao Zhongguo, there were also those who were suspicious of Xiaosi, and their words were quite sharp.
He had indeed called Xiao Si here to discuss matters today. He wanted to let the ministers who had been in charge know that he and Xiao Si were brothers and would not tolerate any instigation.
Shen Yuanzhan hugged Xiao Si and sat on the dragon chair behind the jade case, and said sincerely:
"Xiao Si, due to my status, someone may say some inappropriate words in front of my brother and Xiao Si in the future."
"But my brother hopes that Xiaosi knows that Xiaosi is the heart of my brother and my mother, and the softest being in my brother's heart."
"Brother will not be swayed by other people's words, and Xiaosi cannot give up because of other people's words."
"In such a huge country, it is more difficult to maintain a business than to start a business. Xiaosi is naturally smart and has a great heart at a young age. He will definitely be my brother's biggest helper in the future."
"Whether Xiaosi wants to show his ambitions in the court in the future, or wants to fight on the battlefield like Mr. Qiao, my brother will not influence Xiaosi's choice. I only hope that Xiaosi will never bury his own nature and talents."
"Brother is really looking forward to that day, when I see Xiao Si standing shiningly in front of everyone. He is the most high-spirited young man in the entire Great Yong Dynasty!"
Shen Yuanzhan spoke warmly, his tone was slow and sincere, and he gently patted Xiaosi's back with his right hand.
Xiaosi's eyes turned red when he heard this, and finally couldn't help but plunge into his brother's arms.
"Brother, they don't understand! Brother is Xiaosi's God, a father-like existence, and Xiaosi's eternal guide."
"Xiaosi will not listen to their nonsense. Xiaosi must grow up quickly and become my brother's right-hand man!"
Shen Yuanzhan rested his chin on Xiaosi's head, and couldn't help but feel sore eyes after hearing this.
Xiaosi never received the love of his father. It can even be said that his birth was a tragedy planned by his father.
He would never tell Xiaosi the secret of returning to Xiyuan.
His Xiao Si is precocious, sensitive but positive and optimistic. She is too sensible. He really loves Xiao Si very much.
"Okay, then brother, just wait until Xiaosi grows up quickly and grows into a towering tree, and can also protect him from the wind and rain, okay?"
The two brothers hugged each other on the dragon chair, chatting softly. Occasionally, they could not help but laugh when they recalled the past.
Liufuzi turned to look at the two people sitting on the seat. At this moment, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the Holy Emperor and Prince Ling were brothers, but more like father and son.
————
Time passed quickly in silence.
Jiaojiao had less worries and became more and more like a complete child. She just played around during the day, and fell asleep soundly at night, completely free of worries.
Xiao Si is still a little bit tired and has to come to Qiao Mansion to practice martial arts every other day.
In this way, the day came to the tenth day of September, which was the day when Tan Hanchi and Zuo Anning got married.
The new emperor gave Tan Hanchi a house in the east of the city. The house was not big, but it was elegant.
At this time, the house had already been decorated with lanterns, hung with red silk, and guests were coming and going.
Tan Hanchi lost his mother when he was young. His father left and there was no news. It was his uncle and aunt who raised him.
For this wedding, Tan Hanchi invited them early and respected them as the man's elders.
Mrs. Qiao knew that Tan Hanchi didn't have many people in Beijing, so she helped out and made sure the wedding was a success!
Qiao Tianjing was already married, so he helped Tan Hanchi entertain guests in the Tan Mansion. Qiao Diyi naturally became the so-called "head friend"!
Tan Hanchi rode a tall horse and led a group of friends to the Duke of Yan's Mansion to welcome his bride!
On this side, Jiaojiao became Zuo Anning's bride-to-be as she wished, and she fell in love with Miss Xiao Er early in the morning.
The sisters were having fun around Zuo Aning, who had finished dressing up, when suddenly there was the sound of firecrackers in front of them, and then there was noise all the way.
Xiao Qianyue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Sisters, they are here!"
The other little sisters were still a little reserved, while Xiao Qianyue and Qiao Jiaojiao rolled up their sleeves.
"Look at us! If you want to marry An Ning, you must show some color to Tan!"
Dong dong dong——
There was a knock on the courtyard door.
Xiao Qianyue stopped in the courtyard and asked in a loud voice: "Who is this young master?"
There were boos outside the door. Qiao Diyi patted Tan Hanchi on the shoulder and replied with a smile: "The person coming is Mr. Tan Jiajun, a literary star of Hanlin Academy!"
Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard that the person who answered was her second brother. She opened her little voice and asked in a milky voice:
"I know your purpose of coming, and I ask, what do you ask for?"
When people outside the door heard a baby's voice inside, they were all surprised, but Tan Hanchi smiled knowingly.
He straightened his clothes, which were slightly messy from being pushed all the way, and said with a smile:
"I would like to ask the girl at the door to tell you:
Appreciating the greenery in spring, walking on the stream in summer, writing under the trees in autumn, watching the snow in the house in winter, the four seasons are always with each other, and they stay with each other year after year.
I beg Prime Minister Bai, and ask Miss Zuo if she would like her? "
As soon as he said this, there were shouts from inside and outside the door. The girls covered their mouths and snickered, while the young people laughed loudly.
Zuo Anning heard these words in the room, her face turned red, but her heart felt sweet.
The gentleman opposite the screen had already made a solemn promise to her.
Xiao Qianyue knew that An Ning was very satisfied with this marriage. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Hand over the red envelope and I will weigh it!"
When the people outside the door heard this, they immediately pushed the big red seal under the door, and everyone shouted in unison:
"Hurry up and lay out the Baizi Tent, and wait for the Qixiang Cart to be blocked. May I ask if the makeup has been completed? The east is about to see the dawn!"
"Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me! Zhuang Chengwei!"
The door of the courtyard was clicked loudly, which showed the sincerity of welcoming the bride.
Qiao Jiaojiao laughed so hard that the corners of her mouth almost split, and she clapped her hands in excitement!
Aunt Zhu, who had been serving Zuo Anning since childhood, was so happy that her eyes were red, and she stepped forward to open the courtyard door herself.
The next moment, the wedding group "hooted" and pushed Tan Hanchi in like a swarm of swarms.
The crowd instantly made a fuss, and laughter and cheers floated across the courtyard, almost resounding throughout the entire Yanguo Palace.
Everyone surrounded the newlyweds and walked out, and congratulations filled their ears.
It's just that: good marriages are made early, and couples are made in heaven.
