Ajiu

Chapter 165 Retirement

Xiao Zhengzheng didn't know whether he felt wronged or what, he had a small face, expressionless.

"Give me the child, you... you can change your clothes." Seeing Xiao Zhengzheng's distressed look, Second Master Pei reached out to the emperor to ask for a child.

After the emperor was happy, he also felt that his body was wet and uncomfortable, so he smiled and handed Xiao Zhengzheng to Second Master Pei, surrounded by maids and servants, and went to change clothes.

Second Master Pei let Xiao Zhengzheng lie comfortably in his arms, patted him gently, and spoke to him softly, "This was not your intention, was it?" Looking at the child's aggrieved appearance, it must be Not happy anymore.Your Majesty, you really are, Xiao Zhengzheng originally planned to urinate in the urinal like an older child, but you forced the child to take it, and he still urinated on his grandfather, so there is no sense of accomplishment.No, the child is not happy.

When the emperor came back from changing clothes, he praised happily, "Xiaozhengzheng is really capable, not a single drop was wasted, and he pissed all over his grandfather!"

For the same thing, the grandfather and the grandfather interpreted it completely differently.

The emperor leaned over to tease Xiao Zhengzheng, Xiao Zhengzheng made a cooing sound, and a slight smile appeared on his little face from time to time.The emperor Xing Didi pointed to Erye Pei, "Zhonglang, look how reserved Xiaozheng is smiling." Second Lord Pei smiled, "Yes, the grandson of the emperor has been different since he was a child, very honorable." happy.

Before he knew it, Xiao Zheng fell asleep in his grandfather's arms.

Second Master Pei carefully handed him to the wet nurse, "It's good to take him back."

The emperor was reluctant, "Zhonglang, why don't you hold your son for a while, and send it back in a hurry." Second Master Pei explained euphemistically, "Your Majesty, children are hugged even when they sleep, and they will develop a dependent character." Children, should you hug her? When it's time to hug, when it's time to coax him, when it's time to let him lie down and sleep alone, adults don't bother him.

Speaking of parenting scriptures, the emperor was incomparable to Second Master Pei, so he had to order the wet nurse to take Xiao Zhengzheng back to Ajiu.After Xiaozheng was carried away, the emperor felt empty and disappointed.

No, there is only one Xiaozheng, too few, not lively, so I have to urge Xiaoshi to continue working hard.

The emperor was planning how to coerce and lure Xiao Shi to give him a grandson quickly, but he heard Second Master Pei gently and respectfully proposed to resign again, "Your Majesty, the grandson of the emperor has been canonized, and I will continue to serve as the post of envoy. It doesn't agree with reason." The grandfather of the emperor's grandson was in charge of the cashier's orders and understood the situation, and his relatives had too much power.

Great-grandfather has more authority, but that's a step further.

Elder Pei Ge also handed in his resignation letter, and the emperor was very straightforward: first, he is not allowed to resign from the positions of Minister of the Household Department and Dongge University Bachelor; second, he will never resign in the future.

Second Master Pei resigned, but the emperor did not allow it temporarily, "Zhong Lang, the General Secretary will be here for a while, and I cannot do without you."

Now that Xiao Zhengzheng has been canonized as the emperor's grandson for more than a month, Second Master Pei feels that as a grandfather, he can no longer hold important positions in the court no matter what.

"Your Majesty, I have no interest in official duties, I just want to go home and hold my grandson..." Second Master Pei spoke earnestly.

The emperor heard it in his ears and hummed angrily.Zhonglang, you are much better than me. You have no intention of official business, and you can apply to go home to have a grandson, but I can't.

Emperor, cannot resign.

"It's not enough to just hug your grandson." The emperor's face darkened, "Xiao Zhengzheng likes you, so you should always hug your grandson."

"For this minister, this is a wishful thing." Second Master Pei smiled, "If His Majesty allows it, I will naturally be happy, very happy."

Holding Xiao Zhengzheng in his arms, thinking of Ah Jiu's childhood, his heart almost melted.

I am so happy.

The emperor looked at the middle-aged, elegant and gentle Second Master Pei, and reluctantly agreed, "Zhonglang, if you work harder, at least wait until the new general is selected. Also, the new general is up to you to recommend. "

At the end of the day, I have to find another job for Second Master Pei.

This was the first time the emperor let go, and Second Lord Pei liked it in his heart, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He was not in love with the inn at first, but after Ajiu became the crown princess, he was all for Ajiu's sake, and he didn't want to be an official at all.

He would rather let what he has learned all his life go to waste and wander around the forest than Ajiu suffer the slightest embarrassment.

Second Master Pei thought for a while, and recommended Zuo Tongzheng Fu Zhixian and Right Tongzheng Jin Yan, "...Your Majesty, Fu Tongzheng is an old man of the Tongzheng Secretary. He is rigorous and meticulous. I have never seen him make mistakes; He is a foreigner and has not long since returned to Beijing, but he is sharp, intelligent, and skilled in dealing with things, and he is also a rare talent."

After reporting the talents and qualifications of Tongzheng Left and Right, Erye Pei made a special point, "Fu Tongzheng's appearance...is not ugly, it's just too ordinary; Jin Tongzheng is the son of Princess Longqing, you must see him." Passed, personable, jade tree facing the wind."

The general envoy needs to meet with the emperor frequently. If the qualifications are similar, the emperor probably wants someone who is good-looking and pleasing to the eye.

Not only the appearance of women is important, but the appearance of men is also very important.If born ugly, chances of promotion are few.

The emperor smiled and ordered Second Master Pei to submit the resumes of the two, the more detailed the better.

The nurse carried Xiao Zhengzheng who was sleeping soundly back to the dormitory, and it happened that Ajiu just came out of the honey bath, exuding the sweet fragrance of honey all over her body, and she was in an extremely happy mood. "Good baby, are you asleep?" Seeing his son coming back, he was very happy, hugged Xiao Zhengzheng and kissed him, put him on the bed, let him lie flat, and covered him with a small quilt with his own hands.

The small quilt was carefully designed by Ajiu. The green grass under the blue sky and white clouds, the clear water, and the lovely cattle and sheep are extremely beautiful.

The wet nurse taught Ah Jiu about the outside world, and Ah Jiu was very bright when she heard it.Xiaozheng, did you piss on your grandfather?This old man is probably experiencing such a thing for the first time in his life, son, you are really good.

The palace maid came over with a snow-white handkerchief and dried Ah Jiu's hair.With her hair hanging down her shoulders, Ah Jiu went to bed with a smile, resting her head on her hands, and looked at Xiao Zhengzheng intently.Xiaozheng was sleeping very sweetly, with a beautiful face, Ah Jiu leaned over to kiss his little face, and fell asleep together with him.

Lady Fan was on duty today, and she watched the maid put down the bed curtain lightly, with a gratifying smile on her lips.

"Don't make any noise, don't disturb the Crown Princess and the Emperor's grandson." Lady Fan walked out of the dormitory gently, and ordered the maids guarding the door.

The maids bowed their knees and agreed.

Officer Fan looked back and smiled.It's been two months, and Her Royal Highness is back to normal, and it's finally possible... Sigh, it's not easy for Her Royal Highness.

Female officer Fan discussed the dishes for tonight with the female officer of the table and Guo's mother. In addition to the food that the prince and princess usually like, they added some fine wines.The cooking lady and Guo's mother understood, "Today is a special day, don't worry, you can't go wrong."

Rest assured that the crown prince and princess will enjoy a delicious dinner.

The Crown Prince returned to the East Palace very early this day, and when he came back, Ah Jiu and Xiao Zhengzheng were still soundly asleep.He tiptoed into the dormitory, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the two babies, one big and one small, on the bed, his mind was intoxicated.Junior sister, Xiao Zhengzheng, I'm back.

Xu knew that there was someone else beside the bed, and Ajiu woke up.Her eyes were hazy, and there was a ball of rouge between her cheeks, which was delicate and beautiful. The crown prince felt itchy, and asked softly: "Are you awake?" He leaned over and kissed on the two balls of rouge.

Ajiu rubbed his face, "Brother Ten, you came back so early." The crown prince chuckled, "Brother Ten couldn't sit still in the Wenhua Palace because he was thinking about my junior sister..." It's been two months, little Junior sister, the son is two months old, the imperial physician, the medical lady, the female officer, and Fu Mu all said that from now on, we can "business as usual".

It's a special day, right?Of course you have to come back early.

"Little Junior Sister, have you taken a honey bath? Well, Brother Ten wants to eat honey." The crown prince smelled the honey smell on Ajiu's body, and he got tired of clinging to her body.

"I'll eat for you tonight." Ajiu coaxed him, while peeking at her son.

Xiao Zhengzheng was still sleeping.

The look in her eyes was noticed by the crown prince, who couldn't help complaining, "Little junior sister is biased. Since you have Xiao Zhengzheng, you don't care about me anymore!"

He acted coquettishly, his phoenix eyes contained anger, and was very ecstasy. Ajiu's heart was full of tenderness, and she gave him a charming look, "Brother Ten, I will take good care of you tonight. I will take care of your whole body..."

How could the Crown Prince bear her like this, so he leaned over and the young couple kissed each other tenderly.

Suddenly, the two stopped together as if they remembered something important.After being dumbfounded for a moment, they peeked at Xiao Zhengzheng beside him.

Xiao Zhengzheng acted as if no one was around, his sleeping face was flushed, and he was breathing evenly.

The painstaking efforts of Lady Fan and others were in vain. After the princess got up to wash and wash, she and the crown prince didn't eat a few bites at all, so they ordered the meal to be withdrawn and went to bed.

The young couple had a wonderful and ecstatic night, and the next morning, the crown prince left the East Palace refreshed and smiling.

The crown princess is also different from the previous days, she is beautiful and generous with a bit of charm, more delicate and charming.

"It's great to be two months old." Fan and the others burst into tears.

The family of three in Ciqing Palace lived happily.

Second Master Pei reported the detailed resumes of the two generals to the emperor.The emperor took Fu Zhixian's and looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment, put it aside, and picked up Jin Yan's again.Jin Yan was his cousin, but he didn't even pay much attention to Princess Longqing, let alone Jin Yan.There are also more royal relatives and relatives in the court, and he knows not all those who are related to him.

When he saw Jin Yan's resume, his eyes darkened.

No, such a history cannot be reused.

The emperor summoned Fu and Jin successively in the side hall of Qianqing Palace, and asked about the current situation of the Secretary of General Administration.Fu Tongzheng answered meticulously, and Jin Yan was also very organized. The two have their own strengths and are comparable.

A few days later, the emperor issued an imperial edict ordering Zuo Tongzheng Fu Zhixian, the former general secretary, to be promoted to general secretary and in charge of the general secretary.

Pei Mi, the former envoy of the administration, no longer served as a civil servant, and was granted the title of Marquis of Guangning, with a salary of [-] shi.His wife, Mrs. Lin, is Mrs. Guangning Hou.

Second Master Pei humbly expressed his thanks twice, and the third time, Fang accepted the title of first-class Marquis.

From then on, he stopped contacting the government affairs of the DPRK and China, and just concentrated on being an idle marquis.His salary is very high, twice as much as that of Mr. Pei Ge, but the sense of accomplishment that Mr. Pei Ge obtained from his work has nothing to do with him.

"Ninny, dad can concentrate on taking care of his grandson now." On the day Second Master Pei accepted the title, he went to the East Palace to visit his daughter and grandson.He held Xiao Zhengzheng in his arms, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Ajiu giggled, "Daddy, I still remember that you said when I was young that you are different from your grandfather, you don't want to be an upright official, but a follower. Now you can't do a follower, you have changed to Lord Marquis."

Ah Jiu felt very sorry.In any case, a man always has a desire for power, and it is cruel to ask his father to let go of power.

"It's great to be a Marquis. You don't have to take care of things, and your salary is still high." Second Master Pei smiled.

"You're right." Ajiu nodded obediently.

Looking at it from another perspective, it is also a good thing to retire in your early forties and not have to do military service anymore.Moreover, the pension is generous, even higher than that of working.

When people reach middle age, they don't have to work, and they can enjoy their grandchildren. What a beautiful life.
