Chapter 439 The Empress Visits Jun Qixian
He shook his head helplessly and said patiently, "Don't worry, the nation's fortunes are steadily rising, it's just that the pace is slow."
The merit stele in the Ruyi Hall shows that the merits recorded have indeed been slowly increasing.
It should be noted that since the palace came into existence, the golden merit inscription on the merit stele inside has been located in the center.
Because of the sudden shrinkage of the Ruyi, the gold color on the merit tablet dropped by more than half.
Okay, go ahead and do your thing.
I've already prepared gifts for the two children, and for the others as well.
You can just get it from the coffee table in the living room.
【it is good. 】
Dongfang Jin did as instructed, using her mind to retrieve the cloth bag from the space.
Upon opening it, one finds six pendants meticulously crafted from spirit stones.
The emperor's cousin's two children and his second cousin's four children each had one.
These pendants were all carved by Ruyi using spirit stones from the space spirit stone cave.
Each spirit stone pendant not only possesses powerful defensive capabilities but can also neutralize the corrosive effects of various poisons.
Even if danger strikes suddenly and the personal bodyguard fails to protect their master in time, the children can still protect themselves with the pendant.
"Just give them the names; I've already sealed each one with blood." Ruyi's words reached Dongfang Jin's ears.
[I understand, thank you.] There is children's blood in the space, which Ruyi obtained herself.
Alas, she underestimated it.
He took out pendants engraved with Yan Chuan and Yan Bei's names and put them on their wrists: "Go, go find your uncle."
"Great! Xiao Bei, let's go eat egg tarts!" Cang Yanchuan put the pendant in his clothes and excitedly pulled his younger brother along.
Cang Yanbei put the pendant into his underwear, glanced at his mother, and seeing her nod, replied crisply, "Okay!"
After the two children, like two happy little deer, skipped and jumped and ran out excitedly.
Dongfang Jin...
They just ran away like that?
Without even asking what it is?
She herself was unaware that her family had been telling the two children this story ever since they could remember.
Whatever your aunt gives them, don't ask questions or tell anyone else.
Grandpa said this was to protect Aunt.
Jun Qixian gently took Dongfang Jin's hand, her eyes filled with concern and expectation.
She asked softly, "Are you really not planning to have a child? Do you know that your father and mother are hoping you'll have one?"
Dongfang Jin lowered her head slightly, looked at Jun Qixian's hand, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and said softly, "I know."
But I still find it hard to accept. Let me think about it some more.
She herself had thought about it, and every time she mentioned the child, she saw the dim look in Gu Chenglin's eyes.
Actually, she felt terrible inside, but the thought of the pain made her lose her courage.
Seeing her like this, Jun Qixian knew that she had shown signs of softening, so she stopped pressing the issue.
A gentle smile appeared on her lips.
She cleverly changed the subject: "Then tell me about what happened outside this past year, I'm so curious."
And the local specialties you sent, especially those oranges, are my absolute favorite.
Dongfang Jin didn't refuse and began to speak animatedly about the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas she had traveled through that year, as well as the local customs and people.
Especially in the Southern Qiang Kingdom, she told Jun Qixian about all the different kinds of people and strange things she encountered.
Jun Qixian listened with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Just then, the Empress led the Crown Prince and the Second Prince in.
"Xiao Jin is here too," the Empress said happily upon seeing Dongfang Jin.
"Sister-in-law, why did you come in person? Where is my cousin?" Dongfang Jin stepped forward and took Helian Jingyun's arm.
"He still has some things to take care of, so he asked us to come over first."
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Dongfang Jin's face, teasingly saying, "Look, your little face is getting smoother and smoother."
Tell me your secrets to becoming prettier!
"My sister-in-law always teases me. Are you praising me or indirectly praising yourself?"
Dongfang Jin didn't respect the hierarchy of ancient times and chatted and laughed with the Empress as usual.
The Empress's face now looks even more radiant than when I first met her.
These changes all occurred after consuming the items in her space, which all contained spiritual energy.
Ruyi said that spiritual energy can eliminate all impurities from the body of mortals.
Helian Jingyun was already used to her like this, so she didn't care: "If I say I'm praising myself, you'll say I'm shameless."
The palace maids who followed the Empress were all used to the conversations between Princess Anqing and the Empress.
They were genuinely happy for the Empress, for it was only with Princess Anqing that the Empress would let down her guard and shed all pretenses.
The people around the Empress all respectfully bowed deeply to Dongfang Jin.
Dongfang Jin didn't stand on ceremony with them, and simply said as always: "Don't go through the formalities anymore, just a simple greeting will suffice."
There was no one outside to inform her. These servants were really being presumptuous. She wasn't prepared at all, Jun Qixian thought to herself.
Dongfang Jin didn't have that thought; she felt it was fine this way, and she felt comfortable.
Cang Linchuan walked with light steps and a polite smile on his face.
He walked up to them and bowed respectfully to Dongfang Jin and Jun Qixian.
The voice was clear and loud: "Auntie, Aunt is well."
Then look at two-and-a-half-year-old Cang Qichuan, his chubby little face is like a ripe apple, very cute.
He struggled to walk, his short legs swaying as he approached Dongfang Jin and Jun Qixian.
Following her older brother's example, she bowed respectfully and said in a childish voice, "Greetings, Auntie and Auntie."
Jun Qixian got up and slowly moved off the bed to pay her respects to the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince.
Before she could speak, Dongping and Dongyou, who were by the Empress's side, helped her up and pressed her onto the bed.
"You're still in your postpartum period, so don't get out of bed. Lie down properly. We don't need so many formalities in our household," the Empress said, holding Jun Qixian's hand.
After saying that, Dongzhi handed a beautiful box and a bundle to Qingwu: "These are from His Majesty and the Empress for the two young masters."
Jun Qixian bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your expense."
The Empress reached out to support her: "This is home, you don't need to be so polite."
It's better to call her "cousin-in-law"; it's more intimate. You should learn this from Xiaojin in the future.
By the way, have you named the child yet?
Jun Qixian glanced at Dongfang Jin. Should she learn from her?
just forget it.
This girl may disregard etiquette, but as a daughter-in-law of the Prince's mansion, she cannot be impolite.
She represents not only herself, but also the face of the entire Prince's Mansion.
With so many people around, she didn't want to be criticized or cause trouble for the Prince's Mansion.
He bowed to the Empress again and said, "Rise. The elder is called Canglichuan, and the younger is called Canglibei."
Seeing Jun Qixian like this, Helian Jingyun was also very satisfied with her. The daughter-in-law chosen by the Imperial Aunt's family was really good.
They were very polite and knew how to maintain proper decorum.
Cang Linchuan walked to Dongfang Jin's side, looked up, and his eyes sparkled.
Full of anticipation, she said, "Auntie, I went back to the palace yesterday and gave my little brother a nickname, Little Bean."
From now on, you can call him Little Bean, okay?
Dongfang Jin couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cang Linchuan's innocent, childlike appearance.
She nodded gently: "Yes, Little Bean, that's a cute name, it sounds better than Second Prince."
My aunt's two children are named Little Grape and Little Apple.
"If your mother has another child, what names do you plan to give your younger siblings?"
Cang Linchuan secretly glanced at his mother, who was talking to her aunt, and then stood on tiptoe.
She stretched her neck and leaned close to Dongfang Jin's ear, her little hand covering her mouth.
She whispered, "Auntie, I really want a little sister, do you have any ideas?"
Dongfang Jin...
She's not his father, what can she do?
Before they could react, everyone in the room was stunned.
Just then, Ta Xue darted in like a black lightning bolt.
With practiced ease, it climbed onto Dongfang Jin's arm in no time and stayed there steadily.
It was as if this place was its own exclusive throne.
