For Xiao Yue's first birthday party, Ningxi planned to organize it simply, and just invite several empresses from the harem and people from her maternal grandfather's family to come and sit down.
Today, Ningxi invited the emperor to come over just to explain this matter to him.
However, Xiao Chengyan's first reaction after hearing this was frowning, "How can my precious princess be treated simply?" He didn't allow it!
"Your Majesty, Yue'er's full-moon banquet has already been held in a big way. The first-year banquet is extravagant and wasteful. I advise you to stop it in moderation, so as not to attract remonstrances from the officials!"
Loving her daughter does not lie in this form, and the silver she spends at every banquet is like water. The north is frozen in winter, so she might as well use it to add clothes and supplies to the soldiers at the border.
Xiao Chengyan's heart surged with his beloved concubine's concern for his Vietnamese soldiers. He really couldn't think of a reason to refute it for a while. After he came to power, he advocated light corvee and low taxes, just because he had traveled all over the world when he was young and had seen and heard the common people's behavior. bitter.
After Ningxi took charge of the harem, the effect of reducing expenses really made him have to pay attention to his father's generosity when he was in power, and then watch her clear everything from the rear so that she could take action when she needed help. However, in the end he still underestimated him. The means of a beloved concubine.
Could it be that all these evil thoughts and ideas were really passed down by Mr. Ning?
"You can be frugal on other things, but my daughter deserves to be so!"
The two were silent outside for a long time. After their daughter broke the silence, Xiao Chengyan concentrated on playing the rattle with her daughter.
Ningxi had no choice but to give up, but she thought about whether she should give the emperor a favor or not. Anyway, she had already reported it to the leader!
However, unexpectedly, it was her daughter who gave her father a heart-warming blow, which was a very painful realization. Ning Xi received the look from Xiao Chengyan and pursed her lips to hold back her smile.
Xiao Ye went straight from Yanqing Palace to Yongfu Palace after class. Because yesterday he went to Chenqi Palace to accompany his mother and concubine for dinner, so he made an appointment with his sister to come to Yongfu Palace for dinner today.
"Brother~"
Xiao Ye smiled and greeted his father and Concubine Ning, and then hugged his sister with open arms.
Ningxi asked the two children to play in the west room, and also asked Yunzhi to send snacks and preserved fruits. Such energetic children started to get upset after playing with them for a while. I really don't know where the eldest prince got his patience.
Here, Ningxi happily sent the person away, but Xiao Chengyan was still in disbelief. When did his daughter learn to speak and call her brother! ! !
In order to win over his son for Zhuo Zhou, Xiao Chengyan started preparing Zhuo Zhou's four treasures of the study and a set of jewelry early, and let his daughter start practicing in advance.
Zhuzhou is just a way to celebrate birthdays, but there is really no need to do so.
Compared to Xiao Chengyan, Ningxi, as his biological mother, seems to be a little too unimportant because she didn't prepare those things for her daughter at all.
What Xiao Ye prepared was a scimitar with a scabbard inlaid with gems. The various gems were very eye-catching. Ning Xi guessed her daughter's thoughts as soon as she put the gift in. Xiao Yue liked flashy things the most.
Sure enough, Xiao Yue, surrounded by a crowd of people, crawled enthusiastically and rushed directly to the knife. After taking it, she showed it off to her father with a smile, making her a perfect replica of Ningxi.
The second one came according to Xiao Chengyan's wishes, chose his jewelry, and finally took the little golden abacus prepared by Mrs. Ning. The eldest princess's arrest ended successfully!
Listening to everyone saying auspicious words, Ningxi responded politely with a smile, but secretly thinking in her heart, she deserves to be born, and she really looks like herself.
Xiao Chengyan had a bad look on his face. He looked at his daughter holding up the scimitar at first, but looked at everyone and was embarrassed to say anything. Until the banquet was over, he returned to Qingxin Hall in a sullen mood.
It was night, when Ningxi, who had been busy all day, was preparing to rest after taking a bath, he suddenly realized that the emperor's thoughts had been spoiled by his daughter today, and she had not paid attention to him for most of the day.
"Yunzhi, hurry up, let's pack up and go to Qingxin Palace."
Ningxi had to get dressed now and hurried to the Qingxin Palace. How could her daughter be the instigator? She had to do the job of wiping the butt.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is here!"
Xiao Chengyan snorted coldly, "I turned out to be such a dispensable person. He didn't think of me until late at night."
"Your Majesty~" Xiao Chengyan lowered his head and continued to deal with government affairs.
"At our age, can we not worry about our children?"
Reaching the age limit, Xiao Chengyan glanced sideways at Ningxi, "At this age? I am still in my prime."
The Arrogant Emperor was still considered to be in his prime. Ningxi laughed, yes, besides Wan Dequan, the oldest one here is actually her!
"What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Chengyan put his arm around her slender waist, held her firmly on his lap, lowered his head and blocked her mouth.
"Your Majesty, you should deal with state affairs first!"
Ningxi pushed him, but didn't give up his idea.
"My beloved, go to bed!"
Ning Xi regretted it the moment before she finally lost her mind. She just wanted to coax him. Why did she end up paying compensation from various places?
Ningxi, who had been tossing and turning all night, slept until midnight. If he hadn't been disturbed by laughter, he felt that he could have saved lunch.
"Yunzhi, why is it so noisy outside?"
"Back to the master, the emperor and the princess are outside."
Ningxi frowned and asked in confusion: "Why did the princess come to Qingxin Palace?"
"The emperor sent someone to Yongfu Palace early in the morning to pick up the princess."
While the two were talking, Fu Ling walked in and asked, "Master, do you want to wash up?"
"Well, help me go and wash up."
After Ningxi took a hot bath and came out, lunch had been set outside, and the little man who was screaming just now had already eaten in his father's arms.
As soon as Ningxi sat down, she heard, "Ah~Daddy~" pointing to the minced meat over there for her father to feed.
"Huh?" He turned his head in disbelief, and saw the father and daughter with pride on their faces, "Ahem!"
No, am I the last humble one?
"Our eldest princess doesn't know how to call her mother now?"
Your mother was trying to compensate you for losing the land last night, but you did this to her. No doubt this meal made Ningxi feel extremely uncomfortable in her stomach.
After dinner, Xiao Chengyan had to handle court affairs in Qingxin Palace, so Ningxi took Xiao Yue back to Yongfu Palace.
On the way, I also learned from Fu Ling how the emperor made the princess speak out and call her daddy! ! !
Fu Ling had no choice but to tell her master everything about how the emperor started lobbying the princess after going to court this morning.
It's nothing more than getting a bunch of food to play with. The eldest princess is a playful and noisy person. This can be regarded as an accurate understanding of the daughter's temper, starting from the root, and fooling people into talking.
However, after Fuling finished speaking, she glanced at her master, her face still had the same expression as before. At this moment, she was a little unsure of his master's thoughts. Did he care or not?
