Chapter 352
Lan Xi returned to Huaihua Hutong. Their house hadn't moved, and before they entered the house, they could hear a burst of laughter, and the sound of milk was particularly obvious.

Chang Wenwu and Feng Bihong had already moved out. They found a property outside. When Chang Ruijin was a little older, they moved out. The two of them were doing some business outside.

Liu Cuie and Chang Erhai live on the two sides, most of the time here, but sometimes they live with Chang Wenwu when they want to have children.

Sometimes they would bring Chang Ruijin to live. Recently, because the second child of the Chang family was about to be born, Chang Wenwu and the others didn't have so much energy to take care of Chang Ruijin, so Liu Cuie brought him here directly.

Fortunately, Chang Ruijin lived here before, and he has a good relationship with Liu Cuie and Chang Erhai, so he didn't cry.

In the yard, Chang Ruijin, Liu Cuie, and Chang Erhai were having fun, while Chang Linger was embroidering a dowry in her boudoir. She had already made a marriage arrangement and was only waiting for her wedding on the sixth day of December this year.

It was Mr. Zhou who led the thread, and the other party was Mr. Zhou's nephew, named Zhou Menglin, who had already won the Jinshi at a young age. Lan Xi inspected it, and found that the other party had clear eyes, a clean body, and a harmonious family, so he agreed.

Of course, Chang Ling'er herself had to agree.

The Chang family has not changed much in the past few years, and the family is still the same servants. Lan Xi, dressed in official robes, walked lightly, followed by Chun Liang.

Liu Cuie and Chang Erhai sat in the pavilion, and Chang Ruijin ran around the two of them, giggling, and the breeze infected his laughter.

Although the sun is setting, the temperature is still acceptable. It has just entered summer, and the temperature in the capital is not low. A thin layer of sweat broke out on Chang Ruijin's face, and he was panting slightly. Mother Xue wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, but she didn't want him Take it away and come by yourself.

And he happened to see Lan Xi again, hurriedly took the handkerchief and rushed towards Lan Xi like a small cannonball,
"Uncle, you are finally back, Xiao Jin misses you so much."

Lan Xi squatted down, caught the little body, and then stood up holding her.

Chang Ruijin is more than four years old, especially long white and tender, with a sweet mouth, and a pair of eyes that are as big and round as Chang Wenwu, so she is naturally very cute.

Lan Xi hugged him with her left hand, then took the handkerchief in his hand to wipe his sweat, and walked into the pavilion,
"Uncle also misses Xiao Jin, did you have a good meal today?" Lan Xi smiled warmly.

"Xiaojin ate a lot at noon, and her stomach is bulging."

While talking, he touched his belly.

When Lan Xi hugged Xiao Jin'er and walked to the pavilion to sit down, Liu Cuie and Chang Erhai couldn't help being happy seeing how their uncle and nephew were getting close.

After all, the boss doesn't seem to be planning to get married, so there will be people who need to provide for him in the future, and uncles and nephews will be close so that they can provide for him in the future.

Liu Cuie said disgustedly, "Okay, put Xiao Jin down quickly, and don't look at your dirty official robe, so as not to dirty Xiao Jin."

Lan Xi looked at the brand-new official robe, which was scented today. If he remembered correctly, it was Ms. Liu Cuie who did it herself.

Come on, in front of the grandson, the son still stands side by side.

But I didn't expect Chang Ruijin to hug Lan Xi's neck tightly, pouted, "I don't care, I want uncle to hug me."

As soon as she acted like a baby to Liu Cuie, Liu Cuie immediately changed her words, "Okay, okay, let your uncle hug you, and let your uncle hug you for dinner today."

Then he complained a few more words, "Xiaojin's mother doesn't know what to think, she said she wants to find him a husband to enlighten him, he is a milk baby who is not yet five years old, isn't he suffering?"

Lan Xi thought in her heart that some children of officials and eunuchs started their enlightenment at the age of three, Feng's thinking was also reasonable, they also had no conditions at the beginning.

Moreover, Liu Cui'e has never been exposed to these things, so it's normal if she can't understand.

Lan Xi looked down at Chang Ruijin, "Xiao Jin, do you want to study, just like what uncle and aunt taught you before?"

Lan Xi and Chang Ling'er also taught Xiao Jin'er some enlightening words.

Xiao Jin'er stopped fiddling with the jade pendant on Lan Xi's waist, opened her eyes wide and raised her head, showing a mouthful of small teeth in a smile,

"Okay, okay, Xiaojin also wants to study, and study with uncle."

Lan Xi shook her head amusedly, "When the time comes, Xiao Jin will study with a lot of friends, and she will be able to meet a lot of children."

Xiao Jin'er smiled and clapped her hands, "Okay, okay!"

Liu Cuie frowned and looked at Lan Xi, Lan Xi took the initiative to explain,

"Mother, it's a good thing that my younger brothers and sisters can think about Xiao Jin'er's studies. Xiao Jin'er is not too young. Many children younger than him have already started enlightenment. After all, if he takes the imperial examination in the future, it is also beneficial to be enlightened earlier. Good."

Liu Cuie wanted to persuade her again, but Chang Erhai said, "Mother, listen to the boss, he will never harm his grandson."

Liu Cuie could only sigh, Lan Xi understood that she was reluctant to part with Xiao Jin'er, but Xiao Jin'er always wanted to take this step, it seemed that he wanted to find a good school for Xiao Jin'er.

During dinner, Chang Ling'er also came out, she is more lively now, her temperament is still as lively and cute as before, maybe because she is about to get married, so her face can't help being a little nervous and hesitant.

After the family had a lively meal, Lan Xi went to the study. Now that he has become the servant of the household department, the workload in his hands is naturally heavy, so it is common to work overtime.

During the court meeting the next day, although everything was normal on the face, Emperor Wei Qing seemed to have aged two years in one night.

Lan Xi thought that the last time he met Emperor Wei Qing was in the imperial study five days ago. Although Emperor Wei Qing was not in good condition at that time, he was not as good as he is now.

Today's court meeting ended in a hurry at the urging of Emperor Wei Qing, and then Emperor Wei Qing left in a hurry with the support of Eunuch Liu beside him.

Looking at Emperor Wei Qing who was a little unsteady even when he was walking, everyone below had different expressions, especially Kang Wang and Lu Wang, something flashed in their eyes from time to time.

Lan Xi's complexion did not change, she hid herself from the crowd, and left the Qianqing Palace.

But in the next few days, there were suddenly more voices in the court hall begging the emperor to appoint a crown prince. At first, they were a little inconspicuous. In addition, Emperor Wei Qing had a tough attitude, so nothing happened.

However, this situation did not disappear, but intensified. Even some royalist ministers stood up and asked for the establishment of a prince.

Emperor Wei Qing's chest fluctuated with anger, but he knew in his heart that the court had long needed to establish a crown prince, otherwise it would definitely cause disaster, but he didn't want to let go of the power in his hands.

He could also feel that his body was different from before, that he was powerless in many things, and the fights between the sons below were getting more and more intense.

And as the fourth and fifth princes become adults, the situation will become more and more complicated. Naturally, it is necessary to establish a prince early to calm down the panic in the court.

But he took the initiative to establish a crown prince, and being forced by courtiers to establish a crown prince is two different things, especially the latter, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable, like a person who has always been free and unrestrained is forced to do something he doesn't like.

But he was powerless, the fire in his heart had nowhere to go, and his body was getting worse and worse. The external and internal factors caused Emperor Wei Qing to faint directly during an early court, which immediately caused panic among the courtiers, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety.
