Chapter 410 Catch the week
Chapter 410 Catch the week
After hearing the whole story, Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but be overjoyed. A'li actually persuaded Empress Dowager Xiao to lend her a knife to not only kill Prince Rui, but also tie the Jurchen Emperor and the Regent Queen Dowager tightly to the chariot of the Great Chu!
In this way, it won’t be long before the Jurchens become a vassal state of the Great Chu!
He couldn't help but admire it, this move was really powerful!
Jiang Li smiled and said, "If I hadn't found out about the love-hate relationship between Prince Rui and Empress Su, I wouldn't have been sure I could convince Empress Dowager Xiao. I can only say that it is God's will!"
"Your Majesty is truly the Son of Heaven, blessed with great fortune!"
It is the law of nature that things will turn against each other, no one can escape it.
Among those who harmed the entire Su family back then, which one had a good ending?
The old emperor died at the hands of Prince of Qi, the Duke of Zhenguo died at the hands of Prince of Wei, and Prince Rui died at the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao. Isn't this karma?
Nangong Qinghe is very considerate.
"Ari, you are worthy of being my number one counselor!"
He said regretfully, "Are you really not going to consider joining the cabinet?"
At such a young age, he is so meticulous and intelligent. He is truly the perfect candidate for the position of Prime Minister!
Jiang Li's face darkened: "Your Majesty, I am considering when to retire and return home."
Nangong Qinghe was both amused and confused. You are only nineteen years old this year!
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now."
Since the peace treaty with the Jurchens would not change, he felt relieved.
Nangong Qinghe asked about Shen Muchun again and then let Jiang Li leave the palace.
Xie Changan was at Liao Wuyong's place, and when they talked about Chu Linfeng, both of them sighed.
Who would have thought that the brilliant and talented master of Ghost Doctor Valley would end up like this!
Dying in a foreign land, his soul scattered, he probably doesn't even have the chance to reincarnate as a human being!
Liao Wuyong sighed, "When Brother Chu was walking around the world, he was so handsome and elegant that people would forget about worldly things at first sight. What a pity!"
Xie Changan was dejected. Chu Linfeng had saved him before, but now he had ended up like this. How could he not feel sad?
"One day I will kill that mirror monster and avenge Master Chu!"
Xie Changan had a vague premonition that sooner or later he would have a life-and-death battle with the soul-sucking insect from the upper realm!
Perhaps this is also an opportunity...
Liao Wuyong sighed, "Foster father has nothing else to ask for, I just hope that you and A-Li will stay together and never leave each other, and that your family of four will be well."
At this time, Jiang Li ran in excitedly: "Dad!"
Liao Wuyong smiled and said, "Have you seen the emperor?"
"Ok!"
Liao Wuyong also heard from Xie Changan about the incident involving Prince Rui. Upon learning that this was Jiang Li's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife, he couldn't help but admire him.
With his daughter's smart mind, he doesn't have to worry about her and Xie Changan suffering any loss. She will be the only one who gets to cheat others!
"Dad, will you come back with us? We miss you so much!"
Speaking of twins, Liao Wuyong's brows relaxed and he laughed, "Okay, let's go back together."
"My grandchildren's first birthday will be in a few days. Have you started preparing for the ceremony?"
The three of them chatted and laughed, and went back to the Duke's Mansion together.
When I returned to the mansion, I saw Aunt Lian busying around, directing the managers of the two mansions to prepare the one-year-old ceremony for the twins, a boy and a girl.
Jiang Li was very curious: "Aunt, did I do the Zhou-Zhua ceremony that year? What did I grab?"
Xie Changan smiled and said, "I guess, most likely he caught a chicken leg?"
Aunt Lian opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Li knew that Xie Changan had guessed correctly. She couldn't help but choke up and stomped her feet, "Aunt, why did you put a chicken leg in front of me?"
Any child, seeing the delicious big chicken drumstick, will definitely grab it and take a bite!
Xie Changan couldn't help laughing: "He is indeed a greedy little cat!"
Jiang Li became angry and chased him with her fists clenched.
Aunt Lian smiled and covered her mouth: "It's a good thing to catch the chicken leg. It means that you are blessed, and you will never have to worry about food and clothing in your life!"
"Yes, yes, isn't your name the 'lucky star' now? In terms of luck, who can compare to you?"
"Now you have become the Director General of the Commerce Department, in charge of the imperial merchants of the world. The money that flows through your hands every day is either a mountain of gold or a mountain of silver!"
Xie Changan held back his laughter and held her in his arms.
Jiang Li was angry: "Then what did you grab during the week-end ceremony?"
Xie Changan looked gloomy: "My parents are gone again, how can I know?"
Jiang Li felt quite sympathetic. She thought about it and said with a smile: "I guess what you grabbed must be a sword!"
Master Chonghua was born with a sword-like bone. Even if he is reincarnated as a human, he will naturally like the sword when he sees it.
Xie Changan smiled slightly: "Maybe."
At this time, they were both very excited about what Xie Buli and Xie Buqi would catch.
The third day of March is Shangsi Festival.
The Prince Jing'an's Mansion and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion were filled with guests and the atmosphere was joyous.
There were also many curious people watching outside the door, waiting for first-hand information.
People all over the capital are paying close attention to what the twins, a boy and a girl, of Prince Jing'an and Duke Dingguo, will grab during the one-year-old ceremony.
The items for the birthday celebration include the four treasures of the study, scales, rulers, abacus, money, ornaments, food, toys, bells, antiques, etc. All these things are placed on a brocade mat and let the little birthday person grab them.
This method is used to test his interests and hobbies, what career he will pursue when he grows up, whether he has a promising future, etc. Therefore, "Zhuazhou" is also called "testing the child".
Xie Buli and Xie Buqi got up early in the morning and were dressed up, put on new clothes, put on a gold necklace, and a defensive jade talisman engraved with their names. They were led by their parents to first worship the ancestors of the Xie family and then to worship their grandmother Fang Yi.
Xie Changan and Jiang Li respectfully offered incense to them: "Dad, Mom, they have never left each other. Today they are one year old. Please bless them with good health, peace and happiness, and a smooth life."
Then, the twins, a boy and a girl, were carried by their parents to the main hall of the Duke's Mansion, surrounded by everyone.
At this time, the main hall was covered with soft and brocade mats, on which were placed gold, silver, jewelry, swords, bows and arrows, stationery books, Taoist and Buddhist scriptures, scales, rulers, knives and scissors, as well as colorful satin, flowers, needles and thread, toys, ornaments, food, etc., and of course, there would definitely be chicken legs!
Jiang Li discovered that when Xie Buqi saw the big chicken leg, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but hold her forehead. Could her silly son be like her?
Xie Changan held one in each hand and placed the twins in the middle of the brocade mat, saying with a smile, "Come, I will never leave you. Take whatever you like."
Liao Wuyong, Aunt Lian, and all the relatives, friends and guests were all smiling and looking at the two little babies with anticipation.
Xie Buqi heard his father say that he could take whatever he liked, giggling happily, looking at this, then that, and turned to his sister and said, "Take them all, pack them up!"
All the guests in the room burst into laughter.
He is truly worthy of being the son of Prince Jing'an. At such a young age, he already knows that he wants it all!
When he grows up, he will probably be like his mother, a huge profiteer!
Jiang Li and Xie Changan were upset.
Jiang Li frowned: "You can't have them all, you can only pick one!"
The twins, a boy and a girl, are two extremes. Xie Buli looked down on everything and was picky. In the end, he only reluctantly took a dagger inlaid with gems.
Xie Buqi wanted everything he saw. Under the threat of his mother's eyes, he had no choice but to take the lucky bag, still saying stubbornly: "Bag, pack up!"
This caused everyone to burst into laughter again.
