No matter whether it is the former emperor or the emperor, he will not let the princes develop as they please in the fiefdom. It is necessary for local officials to arrange their own people.

Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "The governor of Fan County is a member of the emperor's family, and the squire Sun Chengwen was the elder of the late emperor when he first came to power. Now he has retired and returned to his hometown. Even if he is not the person arranged by the late emperor, he must be

If you want to rely on your old age and show off your old age, one of the four women is his granddaughter."

"I know." Shangguan Ruoli's eyes darkened slightly. After the New Year, the female relatives of these people will definitely come to pay New Year greetings and move around. They want to understand the situation and know how to deal with it.

Although this small place is not quiet, it is much simpler than the complicated interpersonal relationships in the capital. Besides, King Xuan is the boss here, so these relationships are much easier to deal with. Unlike in the capital, where there are emperors and queen mothers.

, and the clan elders.

Dongming Ziyu asked: "Are you going to meet them?"

Although men and women are not intimately related, Shangguan Ruoli has just arrived here and it is necessary to see the officials below through the screen.

Shangguan Ruoli said: "I won't give them face like this. Your Majesty will take care of it outside, so I can enjoy peace of mind and happiness."

Dongming Ziyu curled his lips, touched her bulging belly, and said, "Okay, then you can play with the children for a while."

The little guy in his belly seemed to respond to his words and kicked him.

Dongming Ziyu smiled, scratched her belly gently, and said with a smile: "The little one is really skinny, but judging from the size of your belly, it is almost the same as when you were pregnant with Ling Yao and Jing Yu. Is it possible that this baby will still be the same?"

Two, right?”

Shangguan Ruoli touched his belly, which had grown rapidly recently. Thinking about the condition of his belly when he was pregnant with twins, he felt that his belly was pretty much the same as it was then.

Dongming Ziyu said: "It's been five months, and the pulse should be obvious. When you settle down, let the doctor come and take a pulse."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, "It's already the Chinese New Year, let's wait until after the first lunar month. It's not an urgent matter."

There is a custom here that on New Year's Eve and the first month of the year, it is not appropriate to call a doctor if there is no important matter, as it is unlucky.

"Okay, it's up to you." After Dongming Ziyu finished speaking, he stood up and said softly to Ling Yao: "Yao'er, stay with your mother and concubine while I go to socialize."

Ling Yao nodded, like a little adult, and said obediently: "Father, don't worry and go about your business. Yao'er will take good care of the mother and the little brother in her belly."

Dongming Ziyu stroked Ling Yao's hair lovingly before going to the front yard.

Ling Yao came over with a colorful parrot and said with bright eyes: "Concubine, let's teach the parrot to talk together?"

Shangguan Ruoli straightened her hair that was messed up by Dongming Ziyu, "Okay, what should I teach the parrot to say?"

Ling Yao had obviously thought about it and said: "I will let it say: Brother, I miss you. Then let it fly to find my brother and tell him this."

"Okay!" Shangguan Ruoli's eyes suddenly turned red and his nose was sore. He didn't know how Jing Yu was doing. He was celebrating the New Year. Did he have new winter clothes, was he well fed and clothed, was he homesick...

"Brother, I miss you! When will you come back?" Ling Yao began to teach the colorful parrot to speak.

Shangguan Ruoli was moved to tears by her tender and longing voice. Where is her son now?

When Ling Yao heard Shangguan Ruoli's sniffing sound, she didn't care about teaching the parrot to speak. She climbed up on the soft floor and put her arms in her arms. She wiped her tears with her little hands and said, "Concubine, why are you crying?"

?Do you miss your brother too?"

Ling Yao was originally precocious, but she became more sensible after experiencing separation from her twin brother and being kidnapped by Nanyun Youhan.

Shangguan Ruoli kissed Ling Yao's face and forced a smile: "Yes."

Ling Yao kissed Shangguan Ruoli's face back and said with a sweet voice: "Mother concubine, if you miss your brother, just look at Yao'er. Yao'er looks the same as my brother."

Saying this, his eyes rolled, his eyes lit up, and he had a good idea, "Yao'er has a good idea, why don't Yao'er put on her brother's clothes and pretend that her brother is back?"

Shangguan Ruoli laughed immediately, feeling sad and happy at the same time. His daughter was only over three years old, but she was already so sensible.

She held him in her arms and rubbed him hard, "Yao'er is really smart, but you didn't bring your brother's clothes. With you as a caring little cotton-padded jacket, my mother-in-law won't miss my brother so much."

The child was growing up quickly, so Jing Yu didn't bring any of his little clothes. Shangguan Ruoli thought that after the Chinese New Year, he would have to have someone prepare some clothes for him, and maybe he would come back suddenly.

Ling Yao solemnly said: "Mom, don't worry, my brother will be fine. If something happens to him, I will feel uncomfortable here."

He placed his little hand on his heart and looked very serious.

Shangguan Ruoli believes this. They are twins, they have the same mind, and each other's emotions fluctuate greatly, and the other can sense it.

Although there is no scientific basis, this matter has been confirmed by some modern investigations and studies.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't want to be too sentimental and affect Ling Yao's mood, so he suggested: "Let's make a New Year's gift for Jing Yu and give it to him when he comes back."

Ling Yao's eyes lit up and she nodded: "Okay, I want to learn from my great-grandfather how to weave grasshoppers with straw. My younger brother will definitely like it."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Okay."

I didn't expect that Old Man Xiao could do such delicate work, but it was a surprise.

At this time, Sassoon came in and reported: "Princess, the old man of the Hao family has come with his uncle, and he has also brought many things needed for the New Year."

Shangguan Ruoli's face darkened. It was Hao Chengzhi and his old man who were here. Thinking about calling a seven or eight-year-old kid uncle, he really wanted to vomit blood.

Who makes people younger and older?

Ling Yao saw Shangguan Ruoli looking a little strange and asked curiously: "Who is here? Mother and concubine don't welcome her?"

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Of course you are welcome, concubine. Those are your father's grandfather and uncle. Speaking of which, you haven't met each other yet."

Speaking of which, although this year's New Year is celebrated in this barren place, it is the most rare reunion year in many years, except for Jing Yu.

Shangguan Ruoli shook his head, no longer thinking about Jing Yu, and dressed up Ling Yao himself before going to see Hao Chengzhi.

Ling Yao kept thinking about the problem in her mind and asked: "Mother, concubine, how should I call my father's grandfather?"

Shangguan Ruoli was also naive about matters such as seniority. He thought for a moment and said, "Call me great-grandfather. For that little kid, you call him grandpa-uncle."

"Child." Ling Yao blinked her big eyes and her little face was a little confused. She didn't know what uncle and grandfather were, but she also expressed dissatisfaction, "But I already have one great-grandfather, and I don't want two great-grandfathers."
