Wild Little Orchid, the cold-hearted prince was the first to fall in love
Chapter 241 The Little Princess
For a moment, Li Xuaner became the object of envy of all women.
Not only was her husband the Ning Wang, who was second to none, but he was also very handsome.
Moreover, her brother and sister-in-law took great care of them.
Another thing that made women envious was that they should not serve their parents-in-law.
In fact, whether the women in the harem were happy or not, half of it depended on their husbands, and the other half depended on their mothers-in-law.
Li Xuaner could not see what the queen gave her, but it must have been something amazing to make everyone react like this.
Delighted and grateful.
The queen had already rewarded her with many things, and now she gave her the greatest respect.
After the ceremony, Li Xuaner was sent to the wedding room.
The wedding banquet officially began.
Finally, we can have a feast!
Lu Jiuwan's eyes sparkled with joy.
There were many people, and although no one dared to bump into the emperor and the empress, Dijiang still protected her closely.
Noticing her excited expression, Dijiang chuckled.
Since she became pregnant, the kitchen staff of the Yu family has been delivering meals in various ways every day, several times a day.
Whenever Lu Jiuwan was happy, she would be rewarded.
The people in the kitchen staff of the Yu family were more motivated and delivered meals more diligently.
The main reason was that the empress was easy to serve, and as long as she didn't send anything that pregnant women couldn't eat, the empress would accept it all.
During this time, Dijiang saw that Lu Jiuwan was getting more and more plump.
The whole person, white and rosy, like a pearl out of the sea, glistening and shining.
The emperor and the empress are a perfect couple.
Many ladies who came to drink frequently cast their eyes.
Until the two of them entered behind the screen.
The people in Prince Ning's mansion knew that the queen liked to be lively, so they did not arrange them in a private room.
Instead, they separated the table for the two from other tables with a screen.
Lu Jiuwan took his son's dining chair out of the space.
Di Jiang put his son on it.
He began to serve the mother and son for dinner.
Because they did not need to be served, the people in Prince Ning's mansion arranged Bai Zhu Bai Tao and Eunuch Ming and others to go outside.
Di Xun and Xie Mingke also came soon.
Emperor Xun's face was full of joy. As soon as he came to the table, he poured wine eagerly.
"I toast my brother and sister-in-law to thank them for their care and support for me."
Emperor Jiang had not drunk for a long time. Today, he also picked up the wine glass with relief in his eyes.
"Now that you are married, mother should be relieved."
Lu Jiuwan picked up the soup bowl, "I wish you a son soon, cheers."
After drinking a bowl of appetizer soup, his appetite increased greatly.
Lu Jiuwan took out a bottle of good wine from the space, thinking that he should not be too partial to Li Xuan'er after giving her so many gifts.
"Here, this is my wedding gift to you."
Emperor Xun took it curiously. It was covered with strange circles and crosses.
The exquisite glass bottle looked very luxurious.
It is translucent and you can see the liquid inside.
"What is this, sister-in-law?"
"Fine wine."
When he heard about fine wine, Emperor Xun's eyes lit up.
Emperor Jiang raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Why didn't she give him a bottle?
Xie Mingke hurried over, "Prince, open it and taste it."
Emperor Xun looked at the perfectly packaged wine bottle and was reluctant to part with it.
Xie Mingke: "Today is your big day, why don't you drink it?"
"Drink!" Emperor Xun responded immediately.
Under Lu Jiuwan's guidance, the wine bottle was opened.
The rich aroma of wine came, and Emperor Xun took a deep breath.
First, he poured a glass for his brother, and then poured a glass for Xie Mingke and himself.
"With the wine given by the Empress, I also wish the prince and princess a happy marriage."
The three of them slowly tasted the wine in the cup. It had the fragrance of grain and fruit, and the taste was mellow and rich.
The three of them drank, which was exactly what Lu Jiuwan wanted.
Enjoying a table full of delicious food, just need to pick up some dishes for his son from time to time.
...
The wind is getting milder and milder.
The spring is gradually full of vitality.
People took off their heavy coats and put on light clothes.
The laziness on their bodies was restrained, and they were energetic and busy.
The preliminary work of the palace has been done.
Lu Jiuwan participated in the design. After many rounds of discussions and comparisons, Lu Jiuwan drew a lifelike finished drawing.
When people got it, they were amazed that it could be drawn so detailed and lifelike, which made many craftsmen ashamed.
The Empress can do this and that, so what can't she do?
At this time, the people in the Ministry of Works had finished their more than two months of learning for her.
Lu Jiuwan did not send them back, but let them go back by themselves and explore along the way.
A month later, the roads from Nanjin to Beiling, Beiyan, Xuechang and Dongyi started construction at the same time.
Since they surrendered after the defeat, the soldiers of the four countries have always felt a gray sky and a sense of confusion.
It was not until they were sent to various road construction sites in batches and devoted themselves to practical work that they slowly regained their vitality.
Not only did they have clear goals every day and could see the specific results of their work, but they could also see the vast sky outside the barracks.
The daily meals were also much better than those in the barracks.
The most important thing was that if they could build this road, they would be infinitely proud in their hearts.
The road became something that everyone in the Great Jin Kingdom was looking forward to.
Spring went and autumn came.
An afternoon with pink clouds all over the sky.
Lu Jiuwan sat under a tree and ate some snacks to enjoy the cool.
Di Jiusa ran over with his little football in his arms, looked at his mother, pointed at the table, and then pointed at his mouth, "Ah, drink some water."
Baizhu smiled and brought him a bottle of milk, which was filled with cold boiled water.
"Prince Jiusa, take a break. Your head is sweating."
Lu Jiuwan smiled and took out her handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "Are you mad?"
Di Jiusa: "Yeah, mother, take off~"
Lu Jiuwan threw the handkerchief aside and undressed him.
Just after unbuttoning the top layer, her hand stopped.
"Son, don't take it off yet. Mother is anxious. Go and have a baby first."
Baizhu and Baitao beside her reacted suddenly.
Baizhu: "Madame Lin, go and ask the midwife to prepare."
"Baizhu, find someone to carry the queen back."
She also told the maid to look after the prince.
Di Jiusa was a little confused, but seemed to know that her mother had something important to do, so she let the maid hold her without crying or making a fuss.
Lu Jiuwan waved her hands, "I will go back by myself."
She had given birth once, so she had experience.
What's the hurry? You can just lie on the bed and wait for the pain.
The two of them supported her and slowly walked back to Qilan Palace.
Dijiang hurried back, and Lu Jiuwan was already lying on the delivery bed.
"How is it, is it painful?" He leaned over gently, asking anxiously and not knowing what to do.
Lu Jiuwan had just finished her pain, "Ah~~~ Anyway, I'll forget the pain after it's over. I'll just pretend that I've given birth now."
Dijiang:...
"Good boy, you've worked hard. I'll be careful in the future. I won't give birth to another one after this one."
Lu Jiuwan didn't want to talk much.
Dijiang stayed with her quietly.
It wasn't until the actual birth that Dijiang was driven out by Lu Jiuwan.
This time, it was much faster than when Di Jiusa was born.
"Wa~wa~wa~" A crisp baby cry came from the room.
Dijiang breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his clenched hands, and clenched them again. He didn't know what happened to her.
Soon, the door inside opened.
It was the joyful voice of the midwife, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of the little princess."
Di Jiang's eyes sparkled with joy, "How is the Queen?"
"The Queen is a little tired, but everything is fine. You can come in and see her after she's cleaned."
Di Jiu Sa broke free from the maid's arms and ran to his father's feet.
Di Jiang picked him up and kissed him happily, "You guessed it right, it's my sister."
Di Jiu Sa smiled and pointed to the room, "Sister, sister."
Chapter 242 Who did you kill?
Two years later.
Outside Qilan Palace, beside the pond.
The boy looked about four or five years old.
He had a handsome and tall figure, his hair was tied up high, and he looked very energetic.
But his brocade clothes were all dirty, and his shoes and half of his pants were wet.
He stood there, looking at the other party calmly, ready to go.
He seemed to be thinking about his moves in his mind, how to take down the other party quickly and steadily.
However, the other party was a fool, who didn't care about the moves at all, and just worked hard.
Di Jiusa looked at the other party rushing towards him relentlessly.
He was not afraid at all, and responded to the other party's moves flexibly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Plop!!!"
After a fight, both sides fell into the pond at the same time. Fortunately, they were both very familiar with water and continued to fight in the pond.
No one was afraid.
The scene was very intense.
On the wooden observation deck by the lake.
A little girl of two or three years old was sitting there, dressed exquisitely, quiet and well-behaved.
She ate the cherries in her hand while watching her brother fighting in the pond.
After eating the cherries in her hand, she lowered her head and took out another one from the small bag on her belly with difficulty.
It was stuffed into the small bag by her mother, it was delicious!
Not far from the little princess, there were two palace maids with outstanding martial arts.
The two looked very calm, one eye on the princess, the other on the little prince's excitement.
A maid stepped forward, picked up the cherry kernels that the princess spat out, and held them in her handkerchief.
"Why are you picking this up? Throw it away and eat this." The little princess handed the cherries that she hadn't eaten yet to her.
Although the little princess was young, she spoke very clearly and completely.
She looked very young but very old, which made people laugh.
The maid looked at the little princess's rosy face, listened to her babyish voice, and smiled lovingly, "Little princess, eat it yourself. I'll pick some and plant them to see if they can grow. If they can grow, the princess can stand under the tree and eat the freshest ones in the future."
The little princess smiled and nodded continuously, preparing to give her the core after she finished eating the one in her hand.
At the edge of the pond, two skilled guards crossed their arms and looked at the excitement with amusement.
The original words of the queen were, "As long as it's not particularly dangerous, don't interfere too much with the brother and sister."
After the little princess finished the last one, she clapped her hands and stood up.
Seeing that his brother was still struggling inside, he leaned on the railing and said calmly, "Brother, kill the piece of meat that bit you, and eat it tonight."
In the pond, Di Jiusa was fighting a fierce and aggressive white goose.
At the other end of the pond, there were three white geese swimming leisurely on the water, not caring about anything else.
The Queen said that the pond was too quiet and it would be a waste to leave it alone, so she put a few geese in to make it lively.
The man and the goose had fought for three hundred rounds.
Di Jiusa was already soaked, but there was no trace of anger on his face, and his eyes were still firm.
When he saw his sister standing up, he knew that she had finished eating and was going back.
"Gah!"
A pain in his butt.
The ferocious goose pecked his butt!
Di Jiusa looked over, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand to pinch its neck.
However, his hand was too small to hold it.
He could only hook its neck, turn around and ride on it, holding its head and squeezing it hard.
After squeezing it once, twice, the squeaking sound of the goose stopped abruptly.
...
Qilan Palace.
Lu Jiuwan was sitting on a rocking chair under a tree reading a book.
Tsk tsk.
The more you read, the more books you read.
Don't think it's nonsense, it's really nonsense.
In recent years, the development of the Great Jin Kingdom has been changing with each passing day.
In order to better spread knowledge, Lu Jiuwan also founded a brand new academy - Canglan Academy.
The establishment of this academy is not only for the cultivation of talents, but also for the experiment of education model.
In the whole Dajin Kingdom, little geniuses are recruited to study, and the teaching knowledge is all checked by Lu Jiuwan himself after consultation with a group of educators.
In ancient times, there was a ceremony for selecting talents, and now there is a ceremony for selecting teachers.
Except for Meng Shanhe and others, most of the candidates for teachers come from the ceremony for selecting teachers.
This ceremony issued a detailed recruitment order throughout the Dajin Kingdom two months in advance, giving everyone enough time to rush to Nanjin to participate in the election.
This selection is more intense than the selection of talents.
The treatment is simply the best in the world.
The officials impeached him several times, they really didn't accept it!
Emperor Jiang: "Now everything is based on the overall situation. The development of the Great Jin needs more talented people. Teachers are responsible for imparting knowledge and teaching."
The emperor's attitude was very clear, and no one dared to mention it again.
In addition to the new changes in education, all walks of life have changed.
The most obvious is the construction. Not only the official road is made of cement, but also several palaces in the new palace of Liangfeng City are built directly with cement bricks.
Because of the need to build a new palace, the iron smelting industry has also had a new development.
In addition, the breakthrough in agriculture is the fastest and most worth mentioning.
There are also handicrafts, simple machinery, ceramic bricks, papermaking and weaving, salt mining and oil pressing...
Xiao Qiao imitated his own bicycle. It took him a year to go to the iron shop with his father 800 times, and finally he made a bicycle.
Now Lao Qiao is not only a teacher at Canglan Academy, but also the largest shareholder of the bicycle shop.
Nowadays, the official road is easy to walk, and those with good skills can also ride on the small road at a fast speed, so bicycles soon became popular throughout the Great Jin Kingdom.
If a family can have a bicycle, it is simply a very respectable thing.
Except for the confinement period, Lu Jiuwan seems to be leisurely, but in fact she is working every day.
But the good thing is that she is never in a hurry and never lets herself get caught up in the busyness that she can't extricate herself from.
The state she pursued was that when she was around, things would develop better and better, and when she was not around, all the planned things would develop as usual.
Lu Jiuwan was tired of reading, so she lay with her head up, put the book on her face and closed her eyes to rest.
There was a burst of small footsteps outside.
Her sensitive ears could clearly distinguish the sounds of her son and daughter walking.
Back so soon?
The small footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they were by her side.
The cute breathing of the child sounded in her ears, and Lu Jiuwan liked to listen to this little breathing sound.
Emperor Yingxi, whose name was Renshi.
Yingxi means that the current situation is good and the future is better; it represents the main direction of good.
Ren Shi means to be free and unrestrained, and to have a rich life; to add more excitement on a good foundation.
Di Yingxi knew that her mother was not asleep, and her mother's sleeping posture was not so beautiful.
She lay beside her mother's ear and whispered, "Mom, my brother just won the fight outside."
Her voice was full of pride.
Lu Jiuwan stretched out his hand to circle her, lifted her up, and hugged her. The book fell to the ground, and she was still closing her eyes to rest, "Good child, so amazing."
"Yes, my brother is so amazing, he hugged it and twisted its neck, and it died." Di Yingxi lay on her mother's body, burying her face in the soft hill, feeling so comfortable.
Lu Jiuwan:!
She was so frightened that she quickly sat up, held her daughter in her arms and asked, "Who did you kill?"
Chapter 243 Finale: I have good news to tell you
Di Yingxi blinked, what was mother so excited about?
The baby voice was full of joy, "A bunch of quacks that will chase people."
Di Jiusa had been standing by, and when he saw his mother finally open her eyes, he dragged the big goose on the ground forward again, "Mother, this goose is so presumptuous, it dared to peck at the butt of this prince."
Lu Jiuwan breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that they would kill someone's child, how could she afford it?
"Damn it, cook it."
He also noticed that his son's clothes were all wet, and his hair was also wet.
"Fell into the pond?"
Di Jiusa smiled and nodded.
Lu Jiuwan: "Tsk tsk, you guys were fighting in the water, and those geese just watched it die, and didn't come up to help?"
Di Yingxi said in a milky voice, "No, they just took care of bathing and swimming happily, so heartless."
Di Jiusa smiled and looked down again.
As he looked, his eyes lit up, and he pointed at the big goose, "Mother! Goose down clothes!"
A white fluffy hair flew out of the clothes he was wearing before, and mother said it was goose down!
Isn't this a goose, and isn't the goose covered with goose down?
Lu Jiuwan came down with her daughter in her arms, squatted beside the goose and looked at it, muttering to herself, "This one is not enough."
Di Jiusa turned around and ran wildly...
Lu Jiuwan: ...
She is faster.
Put down her daughter.
She quickly hugged her son's waist while he was running wildly.
She caught him around her waist.
"Let's go, take a bath."
Di Jiusa looked up at his mother with difficulty, "Mother, I'll go kill the goose first."
"The hair is enough, we can use it to make gloves." He turned back and called his daughter, "Baby, follow me."
Di Yingxi followed with big strides, shaking his head, "Okay, mother."
In the evening.
The family of four sat neatly at the dining table.
There was a roast goose on the table.
Di Yingxi sat on her own chair, waiting expectantly for her parents to fill her plate.
Seeing that she was particularly excited today, Di Jiang couldn't help but touch her head lovingly and asked her, "What do you want to eat?"
Di Yingxi touched her father's hand, "Daddy, goose!"
Di Jiang: "...Okay."
Two roasted goose legs, one for the daughter and one for the son.
Di Jiusa looked at the goose legs in the bowl and gave them to his mother, "Mother, eat quickly."
Lu Jiuwan looked at the goose legs in the bowl with satisfaction and touched his son's head with emotion, "Thank you, son, mother loves it."
Di Jiusa nodded happily.
Di Jiang couldn't help laughing on the side.
Di Yingxi was very happy to see that her mother also had a goose leg, so she grabbed the goose leg and said, "Mom, cheers."
Lu Jiuwan picked up the goose leg and clinked it with her.
At night.
The light was on in the study.
Di Jiang was sitting at the desk thinking about new policies, and he moved his pen from time to time.
In the room next door, there was a big sofa, and there were books on the wall.
On the sofa, the mother and her two children were reading seriously.
Lu Jiuwan and her daughter were lying on the sofa, reading the same picture book, completing the task of reading with her every day.
"Mom, monkeys are so ugly, can I not have them as my ancestors?"
Lu Jiuwan pondered for a moment, "Yes, bacteria are your ancestors."
"Mom, who are bacteria?"
Lu Jiuwan quickly turned a page, "Look, the monkeys are standing up!"
Di Yingxi's attention was diverted at once, and he magically exclaimed "Ah", "Awesome!"
And Di Jiusa huddled in a corner, immersed in reading. Although he was less than five years old, his vocabulary was enough to support his independent reading.
Time passed quickly.
After finishing a picture book, Di Yingxi read it repeatedly several times by herself, and her expression was a little indifferent.
Lu Jiuwan knew she was sleepy, "Mom will hold you to sleep, okay?"
Di Yingxi snuggled into her mother's arms and nodded.
"Book." She closed the picture book, and in a blink of an eye, the picture book disappeared.
Lu Jiuwan explored her daughter's space and found that it was full of food, and there were no dangerous items.
Lu Jiuwan held her daughter and glanced at her son, "Jiusa, mother will take your sister to bed. If you feel sleepy, ask your father to take you to bed."
Di Jiusa reluctantly withdrew his eyes from the book and glanced at his mother and his sister lying on her shoulders, "Okay, good night, mother, good night, Xixi."
Di Yingxi was sleepy and mumbled, "Good night, brother."
Lu Jiuwan carried her daughter to her own room, undressed her, and covered her with a quilt.
Drowsiness was like a sleeping pill, and Di Yingxi fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Lu Jiuwan sat by the bed, looking at her chubby cheeks, listening to her shallow breathing, with eyes full of love.
Di Jiang came out of the inner room and saw his son curled up in a corner, reading a book seriously.
He walked over and sat next to him, just watching quietly without calling him.
Di Jiu Sa finished reading a page, then moved his eyes away from the book and looked at his father, "Father."
Di Jiang looked gentle, "Well, Father, take you back to bed, it's too late."
Di Jiu Sa nodded, "Okay."
He put the bookmark in place and put the book on the table beside him.
Di Jiang easily picked him up and let him sit on one of his arms.
"Where did you read today? What did you say?"
Di Jiu Sa pondered for a moment, and clearly repeated to his father what he had read, and also shared his thoughts.
Di Jiusa's room was next to his sister's room. After entering the room, Di Jiang took off his shoes and socks and his outer shirt while listening to him.
After bathing every day, he wore comfortable clothes and shoes, and Di Jiang took them off for him quickly.
"Do you want to pee?"
Di Jiusa nodded.
Di Jiang carried him to the next door to pee.
After coming back, Di Jiusa got into the quilt himself.
Di Jiang was still sitting by his bed, waiting for him to fall asleep before leaving.
Di Jiusa closed his eyes, yawned, half-closed his eyes and asked curiously: "Father, are the people asleep now?"
Di Jiang chuckled, "Most of them are asleep."
Di Jiusa seemed relieved and fell asleep quickly.
Di Jiang tucked the quilt for him before leaving.
Back in the room, Lu Jiuwan leaned against the bed and watched the video waiting for him to fall asleep together.
Half a year later, the new palace was built.
The entire palace was moved, and with Lu Jiuwan's space, it was easy to move in one go.
Lu Jiuwan lived a life with hot springs again. Her mountaintop palace was still preserved and was included in the scope of the harem.
Liangfeng City suddenly became unprecedentedly lively.
A year and a half later, official roads leading to Beiling, Beiyan, Xuechang and Dongyi were also built one after another.
The Great Jin Kingdom officially became an integrated entity.
New policies were implemented one by one.
Caravans frequently passed by on the official road, coming and going, trade intertwined, and transactions continued.
The lives of the people were getting better day by day.
In the palace of Liangfeng City.
Dijiang was followed by a group of ministers, heading towards a palace.
And Lu Jiuwan was also followed by several ministers, heading towards the newly opened academy.
Facing each other.
The ministers of both sides saluted the emperor and the empress.
Lu Jiuwan's expression was originally indifferent.
When their eyes met, she squeezed her eyebrows at him.
Her eyes were full of light, charming and affectionate, and no one except him noticed it.
Although several years have passed, Dijiang's handsome appearance and superior figure have not changed significantly. If you insist, his temperament has changed a lot.
He used to be deeply depressed, but now he is calm and composed.
He also exudes a sense of responsibility and responsibility. People can feel that he has a happy family. He is an emperor who cares about the world, a loving husband, and a loving father.
Dijiang's serious face slowly melted and became gentle.
"Come back early, I will be done here soon, and I will celebrate my son's birthday in the evening."
Lu Jiuwan smiled and nodded. When passing by, she said, "I have good news. I will tell you in the evening."
Dijiang's heart skipped a beat, turned his head, and followed her with his eyes.
She walked away with him without looking back.
