Chapter 463 It’s been 1 years
Time flies, another year has passed...
Old Thirteen's means of collecting money became more and more sophisticated. Maybe she felt that Ji Xingle and Huangfu Xinyue's things were hers, and the difference between the left trouser pocket and the right trouser pocket was meaningless.
Ever since Huangfu Xinyue and Ji Xingle took her to the palace to play once and got a lot of good things, she asked Huangfu Xinyue to take her to the palace every few days. She couldn't speak clearly, but she could point and talk!
"Palace Palace Palace..."
"Majestic..."
Ji Xingle learned of the Thirteenth Old Man's little thoughts, and smiled to explain to outsiders on her behalf, saying that she was thinking about her grandmother.
Old Thirteen did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Every time he saw the Queen, he couldn't stop smiling. He started out by crawling, and then he happily walked towards her.
The Queen welcomed Old Thirteen at first. After all, giving him some small gifts and bribing him would make Ji Xingle friendlier to her, so the Queen was quite happy about it.
But unexpectedly, in just this year, the Thirteenth Prince came every other day, causing the Empress to go from smiling to frowning. She dared not wear jewelry when attending court or at other times.
Because every time I put it on, Old Thirteen would come as if he could smell something.
When the old man was thirteen years old, the queen took out her most precious treasure, the "Octagonal Box Inlaid with Gold and Gems". When this item came out, not only Ji Xingle but also everyone present was amazed.
The Thirteenth Brother held her tightly in his arms and could not let her go. During the Grasping Week, he never let anyone down, taking away all the gold, silver and treasures.
She took the abacus, books, scales, and other farm tools, as long as they were gold and silver. There were too many things to hold.
She would also find a way to ask the servants to help her pick up the cloth on the ground and wrap the things in it.
This move shocked the whole audience. After a while, they applauded and praised her new brain for being smart and useful. This made Old Thirteen's reputation of loving money even louder.
Seeing that Old Thirteen was happy and Ji Xingle was also smiling happily, the Queen took the opportunity to whisper to Ji Xingle;
"Can you please stop letting Sister Yan come to the palace? I don't have many good things in my private storehouse..."
The aggrieved tone and the pitiful look shocked Ji Xingle. He really didn't expect to see such an expression on the face of a queen of a great country.
Even when she beat her, she had never seen her so aggrieved.
Seeing Ji Xingle was silent, the Queen felt depressed. She took a deep breath, rubbed her heart which was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe, and comforted herself in her heart.
All right! Who told her that she, as the king of a country, couldn't beat someone else's mother? Money is something outside of one's body. If you lose it, you can ask the ministers for it, but you only have one life, so it is more important to save it.
Ji Xingle didn't notice the Queen's expression, but he could sense that she was very aggrieved. Thinking back to the past year, the Thirteenth Old Man's small treasury had been increasing rapidly, and he could hardly put it down.
It was true that she could no longer be caught alone. When the queen gave up hope, Ji Xingle nodded and spoke nicely;
"Mother Queen, this child is ignorant. It was indeed my negligence before. As you know, I have been rebuilding the city for the past year.
There was little time to go home, and Xinyue had to take care of the shop and farm. The children had no relatives to look after them, and were spoiled by the servants at home.
I didn't expect you to become lawless, but don't worry, I will find a time to return the things you gave me, I hope you don't think too much..."
Hearing this, the corners of the Queen's mouth twitched, and she cursed in her heart, "You are all old foxes, why are you just saying such polite words here?"
If I really wanted to, would I have let the child fight against me for a whole year?
She thought so, but she didn't dare to say it. After all, Ji Xingle was a very evil person. In order to live a long life,
The Queen smiled and said righteously;
"What do you mean by sending it back? How can I take back what I gave away? That was a reward from me to my little granddaughter. I like her.
That's what she deserves. Don't say you sent it back anymore. Isn't that slapping me in the face?"
Hearing this, Ji Xingle frowned and pretended to want to persuade her a little more, but the queen seemed to know what she was thinking.
"Okay, stop talking. Today is Sister Yan's first birthday party. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something else..."
Seeing this, Ji Xingle nodded and bowed to the queen;
"Then, I will respectfully obey your command."
Hearing this, the Queen smiled, but in her heart she was very happy... The content of their conversation was not known to others. Everyone at the banquet felt that the Queen was good to Ji Xingle. Seeing this, countless people wanted to cling to Ji Xingle's thighs...
It's just that Ji Xingle is not good at dealing with the ways of the world, so those people basically can't stand Ji Xingle himself. Fortunately, the housekeeper Du sent by Yue'e's father is very capable.
Handle those things clearly...
After the birthday banquet, the empress was anxious for many days, fearing that Ji Xingle would not listen to her and bring the child again. If he came again, she would not have many burial objects a hundred years later.
That day, when she had just heaved a sigh of relief and was flipping through memorials in the imperial study, she suddenly heard a palace servant tell her that Ji Xingle had arrived.
She was so frightened that she stood up suddenly and almost knocked over the teacup in her hand. After a mess, the queen asked Ji Xingle to come in.
Ji Xingle bowed and spoke without waiting for the Queen to ask any questions;
"Mother Queen, I haven't been home for more than two years. This time I came to say hello to you. I will take Xinyue and the others home."
Hearing this, the Queen was delighted and couldn't help but smile, but in order not to be too obvious, she suppressed her worry and said;
"Why do you suddenly want to go back? It's getting cold now. Will the road be difficult to travel on if I go back now?"
Seeing her delighted expression, Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth;
"Yes! Mother Queen, what you said makes sense to me. It seems that I should postpone my return trip until after the New Year!"
Hearing this, the Queen's mouth twitched, and she put her hands on the table, very nervous, fearing that Ji Xingle would not reply, and hurriedly said;
"No, no, no, I think what you said makes sense. Look, you haven't taken Xinyue and the others back home for two years.
Parents worry about their children traveling a thousand miles away. Maybe the elders are missing you. I think you should get up early and leave."
Ji Xingle seemed to not see the Queen's nervousness and nodded. Just when the Queen felt that Ji Xingle had listened to her and was relieved and was about to laugh...
Then I heard Ji Xing talking about his happiness;
"But Sister Yan is still young. The journey is long and will take more than a month. I am afraid that Sister Yan cannot bear it, so I will not go back for now."
