Liu Qian hesitated for a moment. Wouldn't most people be very proud and complacent when they were praised? Why did the princess in front of her speak like this
This Liu Qian is the only daughter of the current head of the Liu family and the only girl in the entire general's mansion. Naturally, she is very precious, and she is the future queen prepared by the Liu family for Mu Yesheng.
So when General Liu learned that Mu Yesheng's position as the original wife was dismissed by the emperor, he went to the palace to seek justice in anger, but was humiliated instead.
After thinking about it after returning home, he decided to call back Liu Qian who was studying abroad. If she could be with Mu Yesheng at this time, then the relationship she would develop with Mu Yesheng would be strengthened.
Naturally, no one else can compare to her, and Liu Qian thinks she has seen a lot in the outside world. She looks down on those ladies in Kyoto who only know how to act arrogantly in their own yard.
Not to mention Qian Jiujiu. She thought that she could set a trap for Qian Jiujiu with just a few simple words, but Qian Jiujiu didn't fall for it and asked her directly back.
She laughed awkwardly and said, "What do you mean, Princess? Xiao Qian just wanted to express her admiration for you. Princess, are you unhappy to hear that so many people admire you?"
Qian Jiujiu blinked and looked at Liu Qian innocently: "So that's what you mean, then what do you mean by worshipping me more than my father?"
"It seems that in Miss Liu's eyes, I am the princess and can be compared with my father, tut tut..."
Qian Jiujiu clicked his tongue twice and looked at Liu Qian with some disdain. Does this girl think that everyone is easy to bully? If you want to set a trap for her, then let's see who traps whom first.
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Mu Yesheng again and said, "Why, Third Brother, are you planning to block me here? It's not that I don't want to give you a seat."
"Look at us, there are so many of us! There are pregnant women and children. There are only two of you. Can't you give way?"
When talking about two people, Qian Jiujiu's voice was raised, and some people immediately understood. Aren't Mu Yesheng and Liu Qian really two people
It's really disgraceful for a man and a woman to go out together like this, and even wander around the streets. Liu Qian was so angry at Qian Jiujiu's words.
Especially when he saw the looks from those lowlifes, he snorted, "My cousin and I are doing this openly. Aren't we just blocking your way? I'll give way to you."
Qian Jiujiu looked even more innocent: "Look at what Miss Liu said. What this princess meant was that it would be more convenient for you two to make way. Explain what you and Third Brother are doing?"
Liu Qian was almost pissed off by these words. Was it because she was the one who said too much? No, she confessed without being asked. Her brows furrowed. It seemed that Qian Jiujiu really said the same thing as Grandpa.
She is close in age, but she is already an old fox. If Qian Jiujiu knew that Liu Qian called her an old fox, she would probably want to respond.
You are the old fox, your whole family is old foxes, I am still young and beautiful! Even if I am a fox, I am still a beautiful fox.
Liu Qian was still thinking about what to say, but she saw Mu Yesheng standing directly to the side: "Since Princess Xiao has more people, Princess Xiao should go first."
Qian Jiujiu only said thank you at this time: "Thank you very much, Third Brother."
As they were talking, the group walked past Mu Yexiao and Liu Qian. Qian Jiujiu looked back at Mu Yesheng and took Liu Qian up to the top of the city wall.
At this time, the army could no longer be seen, but Mu Yesheng was still looking in the direction the army left. Liu Qian looked at Mu Yesheng in confusion: "Cousin, what are you looking at?"
"That Mu Yexiao is afraid that he won't be able to come back this time. Are you still worried?"
Mu Yesheng shook his head: "In fact, Mu Yexiao is a hero. Using this method will always make him feel aggrieved."
Liu Qian smiled and looked at Mu Yesheng: "What's the big deal? A real man doesn't mind small matters. Besides, you and he were originally on the wrong side of the fence, so cousin, don't be too restrained."
Mu Yesheng just pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart, Mu Yexiao, you'd better not come back.
Qian Jiujiu returned to the palace from the city wall. She felt something was wrong and sighed. She thought that she was used to having Mu Yexiao around, and now there was suddenly one less person.
They must be feeling uncomfortable. The maids looked at each other in bewilderment at how listless their princess became as soon as she came back, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xiaoman looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Sister, are you okay?"
Qian Jiujiu came back to her senses after Xiaoman called her like that. Seeing everyone's worried expressions, she blinked and said, "I'm fine. I was just wondering, what are we going to eat for lunch?"
The maids were immediately petrified, but when they heard what to eat, Xiaoman immediately revived with full health and looked at Qian Jiujiu.
"How about we have spicy rabbit for lunch?"
When Qian Jiujiu heard the words "spicy rabbit", her saliva almost flowed. It must be said that since Xiaoman came to the palace this time, he has been preparing delicious food every day.
Qian Jiujiu found that she had gained a lot of weight, but she couldn't help it. The relationship between Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman was growing rapidly.
They get along like real sisters. Xiaoman is still the one who prepares lunch. Now Xiaoman has almost replaced Qian Jiujiu's cook.
It was Xiaoman and Qian Jiujiu who were having lunch together. Just as they sat down, they saw the housekeeper hurriedly walking in and looking at Qian Jiujiu.
"Princess, Concubine Qing is here."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment when she heard the news. What was Concubine Qing doing in the palace at this time? She quickly stood up and prepared to go out to greet her.
But she saw Concubine Qing had already walked in and looked at her: "Jiu'er, sit down first, don't panic, I just thought that Xiao'er went to the battlefield, and you are alone in the palace, I am a little worried."
"So I discussed it with the Emperor and decided to take care of you for a few days."
Qian Jiujiu opened her mouth. The arrival of Concubine Qing obviously surprised her. She didn't expect that Concubine Qing valued her so much.
Looking at Concubine Qing, Qian Jiujiu didn't know what to say for a moment, while Concubine Qing sniffed and said, "Oh, what are you eating? It smells so good, but what is this red thing?"
Qian Jiujiu touched her waist and said, "It's chili peppers. Has mother eaten them yet? If not, let's eat some together. By the way, this is Xiaoman, my adopted sister."
"Xiao Man will stay with me these days. It's all my daughter-in-law's fault. I haven't brought my sister-in-law to the palace for such a long time. I pay my respects to you."
Imperial Concubine Qing waved her hand nonchalantly, "There's no need for us to use those empty words. What is this chili?"
While speaking, Concubine Qing's eyes were still lingering on Xiaoman, as if she was sizing him up, while Xiaoman bowed to Concubine Qing gracefully.
"Xiao Man greets the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be well and happy."
Concubine Qing smiled at Xiaoman and said, "This little girl is really cute. No wonder Jiuer likes her. Come on, don't let me delay your meal. Let's eat."
As she spoke, Hong Ling had already placed a set of clean bowls and chopsticks on the table. The bowls and chopsticks in the palace were all made of silver, with carvings on them, and they looked very beautiful.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, along with Xiaoman, ate up all the spicy rabbit. Concubine Qing was still nostalgic: "The taste of the chili is so good. I didn't expect Xiaoman to be such a good cook at such a young age."
Concubine Qing looked at Qian Jiujiu while saying this: "Could it be that Jiuer already knew about Xiaoman's cooking skills, and that's why she eagerly acknowledged her as her adopted sister?"
Qian Jiujiu burst out laughing: "It seems that in the eyes of mother, my daughter-in-law is just a foodie, right? But mother, will the emperor really agree if you leave the palace like this?"
Imperial Concubine Qing curled her lips and said, "I'm here anyway, and there's the Queen in the palace watching over your father! It'll be fine, housekeeper, prepare a guest room for me."
How could the butler dare to go against Concubine Qing's wishes? He glanced at Qian Jiujiu. After Qian Jiujiu nodded, the butler left. Concubine Qing saw that Qian Jiujiu had gathered everyone in the palace.
She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, but she was an open-minded person. Her son had a virtuous wife, which was more important than anything else, even though Qian Jiujiu's background was a little poor.
But this girl is lucky, so any thoughts that Concubine Qing had about Qian Jiujiu disappeared without a trace.
Concubine Qing's action shocked countless people. Concubine Qing did not stay in the palace to guard the emperor, but actually went out of the palace to the prince's mansion to take care of Qian Jiujiu.
The most unexpected thing is that the emperor actually agreed. Princess Xiao's favor is really strong. Everyone is envious, but some are not envious.
After all, a woman is pregnant but her husband is not around. The mother-in-law is a royal concubine and she said she went to take care of her, but who knows if that is true
My husband is not here, and I have a mother-in-law above my head. Only I know how hard life is.
Of course, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Xiaowang Mansion are not at all what outsiders think. Now both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have fallen in love with Xiaoman’s cooking, and they discuss what to eat with Xiaoman every day.
Xiaoman found ways to cook some meals that were good for pregnant women and fed them to Qian Jiujiu. She took good care of Qian Jiujiu, and Concubine Qing was very happy to eat with her.
The days passed so freely and comfortably. In such an atmosphere, the days passed one by one, and after ten days' journey, Mu Yexiao finally arrived at the battlefield.
And as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, he won a battle and brought back the victory news.
