Catch Zhou

On October 19, there were many guests in the Jin Palace, and hundreds of tables were opened inside and outside.

King Jin accompanied Jiang Changning and held Yu Ming, who was dressed in red, out to meet the guests. They were greeted with compliments that were free of charge.

The most frequently said sentence is: "The young prince looks really like Prince Jin."

In the center of the hall, there is a thick red brocade carpet.

There are books, swords, pianos, chessboards, abacus, writing brushes and other objects on the carpet.

King Jin whispered: "That is my father's private seal. I didn't expect that my mother and concubine would also put it on it."

Jiang Changning saw a jade seal with an animal head carved on it, "There are so many things. It's not easy for Xiao Ming to pick out the one he likes."

"It's okay, my son is smart." King Jin said with raised lips.

Jiang Changning didn't teach Xiao Ming how to choose before. The little guy was put on the carpet and looked at so many things, a little confused.

The concubine looked a little anxious, and just as she was about to signal, Jiang Changning stopped her, "Concubine, don't be anxious, let Xiao Ming choose what he likes."

"Okay." The concubine suppressed her temper and looked at her grandson eagerly. "Good boy, you have to catch a good one!"

Xiao Ming looked around, but didn't catch anything for a long time. The onlookers looked on with smiles.

Zhao Xifang whispered, "Could he be a fool?" Her daughter was about to catch Zhou Ke.

The two ladies beside her frowned, moved a step to the side, and silently distanced themselves from her.

They can't afford to offend Prince Yu's Mansion, and similarly, they can't afford to offend Prince Jin's Mansion.

At this time, Xiao Ming moved. He grabbed it and caught the wooden sword in his left hand and the book in his right hand. Putting these two objects together, it was obvious that he wanted him to grab them at the same time.

Sure enough, everyone watching the ceremony praised in unison: "The young prince is both civil and military."

The concubine was smiling from ear to ear. Her little grandson was so good and smart!

What made her happy was yet to come. After Xiao Ming threw the book to his mother, he grabbed his grandfather's private seal.

The people watching the ceremony immediately said: "If you take advantage of Tianzu's virtue, your official career will be prosperous."

When Xiao Ming caught the gold ingot, the Zhou Zhou Ceremony was over. King Jin smiled politely and said, "Thank you all for coming to participate in Xiao Ming's Zhou Zhou Ceremony. I have specially prepared a few glasses of wine in the house. Please come and attend."

The banquet in Prince Jin's Mansion was very sumptuous, and by the time of the afternoon, both the guests and the host left happily.

A few days later, the little princess of Prince De's Mansion also turned one year old, and Jiang Changning took Xiao Ming to the banquet.

The little girl was born in the early morning. Her nickname is Xiaoxiao. She looks pretty and pink. She looked at Xiao Ming and shouted in a sweet voice: "Brother."

"Sister." Xiao Ming also liked this little sister very much.

"It's a pity that they are brother and sister, otherwise, we could be in-laws." Crown Princess Deok said regretfully.

"I don't want to marry my son." Jiang Changning said quickly.

Princess Changshan smiled and said: "The clan does not allow Ding's baby to have a kiss."

All marriages in the clan are arranged by the palace, unless the palace decrees that the clan can choose its own marriage.

This year, the emperor was young, the empress dowager was ill again, and the draft was cancelled. The empress dowager issued an order to let the men and women of the right age in the clan and noble families to marry themselves.

In the past few months, the official media has been very busy, and several governments have taken the opportunity to make marriage arrangements with families who want to marry.

"I heard that the King of Ningxia fell in love with Wuchang Bo's legitimate daughter." Zeng Zhaofu said.

Princess Changshan curled her lips and said, "No, what about his eyes? I heard that this daughter of Uncle Wuchang is also a spoiled mistress, with a temper similar to that of Song Yirou."

"I have to say that Fang Tingting has a better temper than Song Yirou, and she wants to lose face." Jiang Changning met Fang Tingting several times because of Zhuang Qingru's relationship.

"That's true. At least Fang Tingting didn't entangle a man who already had a wife and cause trouble in the city." Wen Bingqing said.

"The Song family doesn't care about her, it's really embarrassing." Zeng Zhaofu said with disgust.

"Forget it, haven't you noticed that the Ministry of War yamen has calmed down in the past two months?" Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"You are also big-hearted." Prince De's concubine said angrily.

"The prince doesn't like her." Jiang Changning threw a peanut into his mouth, "If the prince is interested in her, it won't be my turn to be Princess Jin."

"That's true." Several people agreed.

After chatting for a while, Crown Prince De came in and said, "Everyone is here, you can take Xiaoxiao out."

Jiang Changning discovered that the person holding Xiaoxiao was Xiaoxiao's wet nurse, and Princess De Wang's wife touched her belly from time to time, and she had a vague suspicion in her heart.

When they arrived at the hall where Zhou was held, Xiao Ming looked at the big red carpet on the floor and said, "Mom, come down, come down."

Jiang Changning didn't expect that he would still remember what happened a few days ago, "Today is not your day to catch Zhou Li. Today is my sister's. You can't catch her. Just watch. Be good and I'll give you meat soup later."

Smart Xiao Ming likes to eat meat soup the most, so he nestles in his mother's arms obediently and stops making any fuss.

The girls grasped the objects in Zhou's gifts. There were fewer items such as swords and seals, but more items such as rouge and gouache.

Xiaoxiao, like Xiaoming, also grabbed four things, first a writing brush and scissors, and then silk flowers and embroidered bamboo slippers.

This praise: "The little princess will definitely manage her family well in the future."

The one said: "The little princess has a clever mind and an outstanding appearance."

Zhao Xifang whispered sarcastic words again, "She's just a girl, and she can't inherit the title. She's going to make a big fuss about Zhou Li. It's really a waste of money."

Her daughter, because she didn't care about her, didn't do anything at the age of one month, one hundred days, or one year old.

After having a banquet at Prince De's Mansion, Jiang Changning quietly asked Prince De's Crown Princess before leaving, "Are you pregnant again?"

"You can see it!" Princess De Wang said with a smile.

"How many months has it been?" Jiang Changning frowned slightly.

"It's been almost three months." Crown Princess Deok replied.

Jiang Changning frowned even more, "You are too impatient."

"It was an accident." Although the Crown Princess of Deok gave birth to a daughter for the first time, she did not expect to become pregnant with her second child so soon.

"You are too careless. Since you are pregnant, you should take good care of the baby." Jiang Changning said.

Princess De's face turned slightly red, "What about you, when do you plan to get pregnant again?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll take good care of myself and take good care of myself." Jiang Changning is still a little bit uncomfortable with the pain of childbirth and doesn't want to have another baby so soon. She will wait until her scars heal and forget about the pain to have another baby.

After entering November, the weather became colder day by day, and the first snow of the year fell in the middle of the month.

Snow fell from midnight to early morning, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Last year Xiao Ming was still young and couldn't help himself. This year he will walk away. He doesn't like being held and likes to run around the yard. He doesn't cry when he falls. He gets up and staggers around again.

After finishing a bowl of milk soup in the morning, Xiao Ming clamored to go out, "Let's go, let's go."

"It's snowing outside, so I won't go out for a walk today." Jiang Changning used a handkerchief to wipe the milk stains from his mouth.

"Mom, let's go, mother, let's go." Xiao Ming said, and was about to roll off the kang.

Jiang Changning picked him up and said, "You brat, you are very courageous and you are not afraid of breaking your head and bleeding."

Even though the floor is covered with carpet, you will still be injured if you roll off the kang.

Xiao Ming was in Jiang Changning's arms, leaning towards the door, trying his best to express that he wanted to go out and play.

Jiang Changning had no choice but to put him in a thick cotton-padded jacket and play with him on the porch.
