Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao walked in front with his hands behind his back, Hu Zi followed behind him, and said in a low voice: "I just got the news that the Holy One has conferred the title of Lord Lu as a Loyal and Righteous Boss. The decree was just sent to the Lu family."

There was no unexpected emotion on Pang Xiao's face. Thinking about his expression and attitude when he saw Lu Heng today, it seemed that he had already had this premonition in his heart.

He didn't know Lu Heng very well, and they were rivals in love, so apart from feeling that there is no eternal relationship between people, only eternal interests, he didn't have any other emotions.

It's just that thinking that Qin Yining might be bothered by this matter makes her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing Pang Xiao frowned, Huzi asked cautiously, "Master, do you want to tell the princess about this?"

Pang Xiao raised his eyebrows, seeing Hu Zi's clever appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "What do you think?"

"According to me, of course I have to tell. The princess is not a sharp-edged person, she can take everything seriously. What's more, if she doesn't know about these things, she will treat them as friends if she doesn't pay attention. If she doesn't pay attention to what she said, it will be bad. .”

"You're the only one who is clever." Pang Xiao smiled and said, "Go and look outside, didn't those boys from Yin Li say they are coming today?"

Hu Zi smiled and nodded in response, and then said with a smile: "This time, it's thanks to Prince Concubine Ji. If it wasn't for him, Yin Li and Cao Heming would still be tied up in the Huben army. The superiors think they are in the way and cannot be reused. If you want to do things with all your heart, there is no chance. If they lose their official positions and regain their freedom, and come to work by your side, we can be like before."

Pang Xiao nodded, and waved for Huzi to pick him up.

Thinking about Ji Zeyu's arrangements that day, Pang Xiao was also very grateful.

Ji Zeyu is a smart person, and he can always use various conditions to create vitality for himself at critical moments. This time, Ji Zeyu was "under house arrest" by Yin Li and the other six. Not only did he successfully pass Li Qitian's test, but he also allowed these six confidants to return to work by his side, and he had capable subordinates again, and he had a right-hand man in his work.

It's just that I haven't seen Ji Zeyu these days, and I don't know how he is doing now.

When Pang Xiao returned to the courtyard, Qin Yining was no longer walking around in the courtyard, so he went straight into the house.

Qin Yining was reclining on the soft couch leaning on the big soft pillow, flipping through a book lazily in his hand, seeing Pang Xiao coming back, he said with a smile: "What did Hu Zi want from you just now?"

"It's the six men I used to serve in the Huben Army. Now they have been dismissed from office and become free agents. I have an appointment to see them today.

"

Qin Yining laughed: "That's fine. Only when they are by your side can they be trusted and reused. In front of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty has to prevent them from making trouble and dare not entrust them with important responsibilities. Now it's good to not delay the two.\u0026amp; ;bsp;"

"I also feel that way."

Pang Xiao sat down next to Qin Yining, put on his shoes and leaned sideways beside her, with his big hands gently covering Qin Yining's protruding abdomen. He felt the little guy inside kick him, even though it was not the first time he felt the vigorous vitality, Pang Xiao still felt pleasantly surprised and novel.

"Sister Yi, he kicked me again."

Qin Yining nodded with a smile, and said, "I still have something I haven't told you."

"Tell me." Pang Xiao said seriously, "Tell me anything, and I'll help you."

Qin Yining smiled and said: "Bingtang discovered something when he diagnosed and treated me before, but the pulse condition was not clear, and he couldn't be sure. Just now when grandma went back, Bingtang helped me to look again, so she was sure."

As soon as he heard that it was related to Qin Yining's body, Pang Xiao's face became more serious than ever, "What's going on? Let me ask Bingtang to talk about it?"

"No, I want to tell you the news myself." Qin Yining looked at Pang Xiao with a smile, his watery eyes seemed to be filled with sparkles, and the smile on his lips was so soft and soft that one could indulge in it, "Bing Tang said , the ones in my womb may be twins."

Hearing this, Pang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then a smile gradually crept up to the corners of his eyes and brows, his phoenix eyes widened, he lowered his head and looked at Qin Yining's stomach in disbelief, and carefully touched it: "Really? It's twins ?”

"Yes." Qin Yining hugged her belly in satisfaction, "I also want to ask you, have any of your ancestors or close relatives had twins?"

Pang Xiao thought for a while, "I really don't know. Grandma's family may not have one. As for Pang's family, the situation is more complicated. But who cares, twins are good, how easy it is. One birth is worth two. "

Pang Xiao childishly lay on the edge of the bed, with his face pressed against Qin Yining's stomach, listening to the lively fetal movement, he said with a smile: "It's strange that I said why this child is so lively. It turns out that it's two brothers who are taking turns to toss about."

"Yeah." Qin Yining lowered her head, looking at her increasingly round belly, feeling that the things in this world are really miraculous, and she never thought that she would be a mother soon.

Pang Xiao leaned in front of Qin Yining, "baji" kissed her on the cheek, and then hugged him in his arms, sniffing and kissing her ears and neck like a puppy.

"Sister Yi, you are so kind!"

Qin Yining was tickled by his hot breath and the peck on his lips, twisted his body and smiled and avoided: "Don't make trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Pang Xiao leaned his face on her weak shoulder, looked at her side face and said, "I'm so happy, so happy. I heard that the Empress Empress is now pregnant. The Holy Majesty is very happy." Huanxi, now it seems that he must not be as happy as me, because my wife is much better than her daughter-in-law."

Qin Yining gave him a blushing look. It turns out that men also have a desire to compare themselves?

"Don't be too complacent, as long as we know about it. I don't plan to ask my mother. My father and mother are now living with Qin Huining. Although Qin Huining seems to be quite peaceful, her character is beyond my control. I can't believe it. If my mother becomes happy and often speaks out of her mind, if Qin Huining gets to the ears of the old matriarch and the others, this matter will be publicized.

"The situation in the imperial court is tense now. The Holy Majesty and the Empress are happy about their pregnancy. If they hear that I am pregnant with two at a time, wouldn't they be mad at their husband and wife? It would be bad to cause trouble.

"You can just tell grandma. Others don't need to tell first. When the child is born at the end of the year, they will naturally know."

Qin Yining lightly pinched Pang Xiao's tall nose bridge, and there was a faint jasmine fragrance on the soft and cool fingertips, which caused Pang Xiao to bite her finger lightly after chasing her.

"I know. It's better not to spread this matter." Thinking of Yao Chenggu and Yao's attitude towards Qin Yining in the past two months, Pang Xiao felt heavy in his heart, and the lighthearted mood just now disappeared.

He sighed and hugged her in his arms, patted her back gently, and said softly: "I have wronged you these days. I know that my grandfather and my mother's attitude is wrong. When you see them, just avoid them." , I will always pay attention. But whenever they try to make things difficult for you, if I am not at home, you can just ask grandma to help you out. "

Qin Yining smiled, "I'm not a soft persimmon to be bullied, and besides, I can not only ask my grandma to help me, my father is also at home."

Pang Xiao sighed again.

If Qin Yining went to the Qin family, the conflict hidden under the calm surface would be torn apart. But Pang Xiao will not let Qin Yining be wronged because of this. Originally, she was the one who was wronged, how could he stop her from complaining to her family?

Qin Yining leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder, took his slender hand in his hand, and rubbed the callus on his palm with fingertips.

"I'm kidding you. Now that the two families live under the same roof, I have to think about getting along with each other in the future. Don't worry, I don't want to make the family uneasy. And you know my father's temper. He used to deal with these things."

Pang Xiao said: "I know all this. I just think you are too wronged. My mother..."

"My lord, my concubine." Bing Tang walked in nervously from outside the door, and winked at Qin Yining, "The old lady is here."

Qin Yining blinked in surprise.

Yao Shi was put into confinement by Ma Shi, and Qin Yining was kept quiet for two months, presumably he was released?

Pang Xiao patted Qin Yining's hand, stood up and said, "Don't get up, I'll go and welcome mother in."

Qin Yining nodded, but waved to Bingtang and Jiyun after hesitation.

The two came to help Qin Yining get up, and helped her put on the soft-soled embroidered shoes in the house.

Jiyun said in a low voice: "Didn't the lord tell you to rest and get up?"

Before Qin Yining could answer, Bing Tang said: "If you really don't get up, it will be more for the old lady to see what's going on. We'd rather be a little tired than ask the old lady to find fault with us."

Qin Yining chuckled: "What you two said happened to be what I thought in my heart just now. You asked and answered. That's how I asked and answered myself just now."

Jiyun and Bingtang couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

In front of the house door, Pang Xiao saw Yao's Xun He and Mi He walking slowly. Then he went up to greet her and saluted, "Mother, you are here."

Pang Xiao's etiquette is considerate, but in Yao's eyes, he feels that Pang Xiao is an act of birth and death with him.

Thinking of being locked in the wing room for the past two months, people outside didn't know how to talk about her, and her old lady had already been disgraced, Yao's teeth were itchy with anger. She couldn't bear to hate her mother, and couldn't do anything to Mrs. Ma, so she blamed Qin Yining for all this anger.

Yao shi nodded lightly, and said, "Where's your wife? I haven't seen you for two months, so I miss you."

At this time, Qin Yining had already supported Bingtang and Jiyun's hands and walked to the corridor, when he heard Yao's voice, he walked closer with his stomach, bent his knees and said, "Old madam."

As soon as Yao shi heard what she called her, she became angry, but her smile became more sincere and gentle. She went forward and took Qin Yining's hands, looked at her stomach and said, "Oh, It's been five months, right?"

Qin Yining nodded with a smile, "Go back to the old lady, yes."

Yao looked Qin Yining up and down, saw that her skin was still firm and her complexion was better, although she was pregnant, she still had no loss of beauty, so she smiled and took her hand and said: "Let's go into the house."
