The prince of this dynasty lived with his mother until he was six years old. Only after the age of six will he be moved to the prince's home.
Therefore, the Ninth Prince's bedroom is located in the side hall of Fengyi Palace.
After entering the side hall and asking the palace attendants to place Yan Jiaojiao on the large bed with intricate carvings, the Ninth Prince told the palace attendants, "Go and get all the good things I have here and give them to... for my sister to play with."
It was rare to see the Ninth Prince like this. The palace people just thought that he was new to seeing a baby smaller than themselves, and they were busy showing off, so they all hurriedly carried two large boxes to open them.
【Ouch!】
Yan Jiaojiao admitted that he was jealous.
The precious light is dazzling, all kinds of gold, jade, agate, emerald. In short, even if it is something for children to play with, it is made of excellent materials.
Just take out one piece at random and it will be enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime.
[I really want to beat the local tyrants. 】
Yan Jiaojiao sighed.
The Ninth Prince squatted beside the box and took out his treasures one by one to show to Yan Jiaojiao.
【neither! 】
Yan Jiaojiao was quite disappointed.
There was no way, what the Ninth Prince took out were just playthings, and there weren't many places where he could use his hands and feet.
Ninth Prince: "Can you do it?"
Can you tell exactly what you said?
Yan Jiaojiao pouts.
[I can’t talk nonsense, right? 】
The Ninth Prince lost his patience and asked someone to take the things away.
At this moment, Yan Jiaojiao suddenly discovered something.
【etc! this! 】
The Ninth Prince held a small porcelain tiger in his hand.
The little tiger is standing upright with its two front paws arched, looking very naive.
【What's this? 】
"The royal grandmother gave it to me on my birthday."
The Ninth Prince's zodiac sign is Tiger. On his birthday this year, Queen Mother Guo gave him a set of porcelain with twelve zodiac signs.
He liked the little tiger very much, and since his zodiac signs were similar, he stayed and played with it often.
[This is it, something is wrong! 】
Yan Jiaojiao didn't have any ability in metaphysics. Just seeing this thing, she felt pain between her eyebrows.
Just like that day when she saw the white jade pendant Liu Xinyue gave her.
The Ninth Prince instinctively said: "Impossible!"
This was given to him by his royal grandmother, how could there be any problem?
[Smash it and take a look. 】
Yan Jiaojiao sincerely suggests.
Ninth Prince: "..."
He stood up solemnly and said seriously: "This is a gift from the Imperial Grandmother. Any damage to it would be disrespectful to her."
As he said this, he wanted to put the little tiger in Duobao Pavilion.
Finally, after taking only two steps, there was a chirp, the person was shaken, and the little tiger fell to the ground, shattering to pieces.
Yan Jiaojiao: "..."
[Pretend, pretend again! 】
The Ninth Prince's eyes looked at the porcelain fragments on the ground, and his delicate little face tensed up.
Among the fragments was a small statue of Guanyin.
It is not quite accurate to say that it is a Guanyin statue.
Because Empress Dowager Guo believed deeply in Buddhism, a small Buddhist hall was built in Cining Palace, and several Guanyin statues were also enshrined.
The small jade sculpture of Guanyin in front of me is obviously different from the one in Cining Palace.
Looking closely, Guanyin smiles very strangely, giving people an eerie feeling.
[Look, am I right? 】
Yan Jiaojiao was proud, and then he became a little embarrassed when he saw the dejected face of the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince is really sad.
Although Queen Mother Guo was partial to the prince, she also loved her other grandchildren.
Who would have thought that his biological grandmother would include such a thing in the gift she gave him?
[Don’t be sad, ordinary people would fight to the death over two houses and a few acres of land. 】
Not to mention the royal family.
[You are so smart and outstanding, the emperor likes you, but you are still his legitimate son, oh, do you understand? 】
After Yan Jiaojiao finished speaking, the Ninth Prince's face turned even darker.
She closed her mouth knowingly.
Royal people are always precocious, and after a while of sadness, the Ninth Prince seemed to be fine.
It happened that Queen Xu had finished talking to Ji. She wanted to leave some food, but she was afraid that Yan Jiaojiao's child would be hungry, so she only rewarded her with something and let Ji go out of the palace.
After Ji received her daughter and walked to the palace gate, the Ninth Prince hurriedly chased her.
Before Ji could say anything, the Ninth Prince stuffed a box of things into Yan Jiaojiao's swaddling clothes and ran away again.
When they got to the carriage, Ji took a look and saw, what a box of homemade halva.
Ji was very confused.
Yan Jiaojiao thought to himself, Xiao Green Tea is true to his word, if he had known he would have asked for gold, silver and jewelry from him!
Back at the Hou Mansion, what was rare was that Yan Hongfei and the old lady were waiting in the peony garden.
Ji was suddenly announced to the palace, and neither mother nor son knew what was going on.
Especially the old lady, apart from folding her hands and chanting Buddha's name, she kept complaining to Yan Hongfei.
"I told you Haosheng to take care of her a long time ago! You didn't listen! It's better now. It's only been a few days since the confinement, and she's in high spirits again! If she comes back and causes trouble, I'll see what you do!"
Yan Hongfei was not as worried as his mother.
Mr. Ji has a steady temperament and is meticulous in his work, so he won't cause any big trouble.
Sure enough, it was almost noon, and Ji and Yan Jiaojiao were sent back.
The person who sent them back turned out to be the chief steward of Fengyi Palace.
What surprised Yan Hongfei and his son even more was that the chief manager was very polite to Mr. Ji.
This is a strange thing.
The chamberlains in the palace are also divided into different grades.
As for any servant who is in charge of affairs, who doesn't act like a fox or a tiger but have a powerful eye and be above the top when he is outside?
It is easy to see some officials with not so high official positions and not so noble family members, all with their nostrils pointing upward.
This chamberlain was walking beside Ji with a smile on his face?
Especially behind them, there were actually four little chamberlains following them, all holding things in their hands, and they knew at a glance that they were gifts from the palace.
"Ayu!"
Yan Hongfei was the first to come to his senses, went forward to greet him, and took the opportunity to repeatedly invite Hu Lu, the chief manager of Fengyi Palace, to come in and sit and have tea.
How could Hulu be willing to respond? On the pretext of returning to the palace to resume his duties, he took the servants and handed over the rewards from Queen Xu and left without looking back.
Yan Hongfei was confused.
Judging from Ji's expression, it was clear that she had benefited from the Queen. But looking at the way Mr. Hu refused to eat the tea and refused to collect his wallet, it seemed as if he had offended Fengyi Palace.
"Ayu, why did the Queen suddenly announce you?"
Yan Hongfei chased into the house and couldn't wait to ask Ji.
In comparison, the old lady was much simpler, and she focused on Queen Xu's reward at a glance.
"Is this a newly introduced material this year? During the Chinese New Year, I saw Princess Yong'an wearing something called Xiangyun gauze at a palace banquet!"
Xiangyunsha is known as one tael of yarn and ten taels of gold, and the annual tribute is limited. That is to say, the queen mother, queen, princess and princess can get some, and the slightly less favored concubine can't get a piece of it.
Ji's family got two horses at once, one silver-red and one bamboo-green.
The old lady's eyes could no longer be separated from Xiangyunsha.
"This is really good..." She gently stroked the Xiangyun gauze with her hand, "The color is bright and suitable for young people to wear."
As he spoke, he looked at Ji, hoping that she would understand his hint and give Xiangyun Sha to her daughter Yan Shuangshuang.
How honorable it is to get such a horse.
Ji didn't seem to understand, and smiled, "Mother said it just like the Queen. The Queen said that the bright white skin is suitable for this silver-red one. As for me, a veteran, I have no choice but to wear bamboo-green ones!"
