Mu Yexiao was very satisfied when he looked at the breakfast on the table. After all, Qian Jiujiu in front of him, although she looked a little ordinary and could not play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting.
But at least he was able to satisfy his stomach. Mu Yexiao was reluctantly satisfied with this man and sat down to have breakfast with Qian Jiujiu.
The ancients believed in not talking while eating or sleeping. She understood the rule of not talking while sleeping, which means not talking while falling asleep, but Qian Jiujiu said that it was very difficult to do so.
After watching Mu Yexiao eat half of it, Qian Jiujiu finally couldn't help but speak: "How does it taste?"
Mu Yexiao glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "No rules."
After saying that, she continued to eat with her head down. Qian Jiujiu was so upset. What did she mean by no rules? She was just showing concern.
Not appreciating the kindness of others, Qian Jiujiu's shoulders suddenly slumped, and she ignored Mu Yexiao. Even after finishing breakfast, she still ignored Mu Yexiao.
Mu Yexiao frowned and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Qian Jiujiu, what are you doing? You look so listless?"
This was the first time that Mu Yexiao saw Qian Jiujiu like this in these few days. Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
He snorted, turned his head and ignored it. Mu Yexiao was rejected and felt a little entangled. But he thought of something and glanced at Qian Jiujiu.
"Qian Jiujiu, I remembered something. Do you want to listen to it? If you don't want to listen, don't regret it."
Qian Jiujiu turned around and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "I don't know what the prince is talking about? Don't regret it yet, then I will listen."
Mu Yexiao was a little unhappy with this attitude, but in comparison, he disliked Qian Jiujiu's listless look even more, and then he sighed.
"I remember your aunt's condition didn't seem good. I wanted to send someone to protect her secretly, but it seems someone didn't appreciate it."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, her eyes lit up instantly: "What the prince said is true, you want to help me protect my aunt?"
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu and saw that she had suddenly become energetic. He couldn't help but laugh: "This king has always been..."
Having said that, Mu Yexiao deliberately stopped, just to see Qian Jiujiu getting anxious. What he meant to say was that this king always keeps his promises.
But when Qian Jiujiu heard that Mu Yexiao stopped talking, she couldn't help but start to guess. She squinted her eyes and thought about it. The two of them were partners. Since she had to put in effort to deal with him, she naturally couldn't let anyone do it for nothing.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao with a look of sudden enlightenment.
"I see, Your Majesty. Are you trying to say that you never do business at a loss? You can rest assured about that. If you ask someone to protect my mother, I will never let you suffer any loss."
"Just tell me what you want me to do. Anyway, I will agree to anything within my ability."
Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu, very confused, his eyebrows furrowed: "Qian Jiujiu, what image do you have of me?"
What image? Is the prince crazy today? Why is he suddenly concerned about this? He blinked his eyes and said, "The prince's image is tall and mighty."
"My admiration for you is like a mighty river..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I want to say that my promise is as good as gold. Of course, my words count. Okay, I will send someone to protect your mother."
"Dongchen, push me out for a walk."
Qian Jiujiu looked at the background of Mu Yexiao leaving in bewilderment. Did she say something wrong? She was clearly praising him, but he just left like that, and he hadn't even finished expressing himself yet!
"Hongling, why did your prince leave? And you interrupted him so rudely."
Hong Ling immediately looked at the direction where Mu Yexiao had left with some pity, and she didn't know how to answer Qian Jiujiu. In fact, she herself was a little confused.
I could only shake my head and say, "I don't know why the master is angry. Otherwise, Princess, you can make a delicious meal at noon to appease the prince."
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes and snorted proudly: "Why should I coax him? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I coax him?"
Hong Chou thought for a moment before speaking: "Princess, I saw that the prince just promised to protect your mother. Shouldn't the princess thank the prince?"
That's right! Qian Jiujiu nodded: "That's a pretty good reason. I'll go to the kitchen now."
After Mu Yexiao left, he felt depressed again, because what kind of image did he have in Qian Jiujiu's mind
He really wanted to know, but if he asked Qian Jiujiu, she would probably tell him nonsense, which would be too painful. Mu Yexiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Why does he seem to have met his nemesis whenever he meets Qian Jiujiu
Feeling a little awkward, he glanced at Dongchen and said, "Dongchen, go and have a look now, what is the princess doing?"
Dong Chen was unwilling in his heart, and looked at Mu Yexiao: "My Lord, why do you care so much about her? Do you really want her to be your princess?"
When Mu Yexiao heard Dong Chen's words, he was not angry. Instead, he thought about it carefully: "What's wrong with her being a princess?"
Dong Chen didn't want to roll his eyes, but he couldn't help it: "But Your Majesty, she is just a concubine's daughter. She can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. If the Imperial Concubine knew about it."
"I will definitely not agree to it. If you put your heart into it, you will still be the one who gets hurt."
Mu Yexiao frowned: "You mean, my mother will break up the couple?"
As soon as Mu Yexiao finished speaking, a woman's voice came: "What are you talking about, my emperor? What do you mean by breaking up a couple? Who should I hit?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Yexiao was startled, turned around and looked at Concubine Qing who came in, a little surprised: "Mother, why are you here?"
Concubine Qing snorted coldly: "I heard that you went to the Shangshu Mansion when you returned home yesterday? What's wrong with you, kid? Don't you know that your father and mother are very worried about your health?"
"You can go out now, but you didn't come to the palace to see us, but went to the Shangshu Mansion. By the way, where is your princess?"
"I told her not to even come to the palace to pay respects, and told her to take good care of your prince in the mansion. Where is she?"
Dongchen lowered his head, looking at his nose and his heart, as if he hadn't heard anything. Mu Yexiao had a headache, because his mother was very tough.
He knew it. It seemed that this man who was trying to break up the couple had already come to cause trouble.
Mu Yexiao coughed twice: "Mother, Jiujiu..."
When Concubine Qing heard the unfamiliar name, she couldn't help but feel confused: "Wait, who is this Jiujiu? Mother is asking about your princess Qian Yuge, not Jiujiu."
Mu Yexiao thought about it and realized that Qian Jiujiu, that stupid woman, couldn't even hide the truth from him, or rather, she didn't hide it at all, let alone hide it from his smart and great mother.
It is better to tell the truth. With my protection, nothing should go wrong. Thinking of this, Mu Yexiao decided to tell the truth.
"Mother, my princess consort is Qian Jiujiu, not Qian Yuge."
Concubine Qing's eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say? But I remember your father's marriage was clearly for Qian Yuge, what is Qian Jiujiu?"
Mu Yexiao had a headache: "Mother, Qian Jiujiu is a person, and also my destined noble person."
Noble? Concubine Qing couldn't help wondering, looking at Mu Yexiao: "How expensive?"
Ahem! Mu Yexiao felt that he was being suffocated and sighed: "Mother, do you want me to stand up?"
When Concubine Qing heard this, she was immediately excited and looked at Mu Yexiao: "My son found a miracle doctor? That's great. If it weren't for your carelessness, I would never let anything happen to you."
Speaking of the incident, Mu Yexiao's face turned cold: "It's not my fault, mother. It's because those people were so cruel. But my son's fate is not destined to decline like this."
"This Qian Jiujiu is the one who can cure me, so I hope that mother will consider this matter and not care about Jiujiu's identity."
Imperial Concubine Qing opened her mouth and said, "My prince, are you lying to me? Can a little girl really save you?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "I know my own body. Now I can sit in a wheelchair and go out to bask in the sun. There is nothing wrong with my body now."
"I am just waiting for my son's health to get better, and then I will drive the gamblers away. Only then will Jiujiu treat my son's leg."
Concubine Qing looked at Mu Yexiao's logical words and temporarily believed them: "Then let me meet Qian Jiujiu."
Mu Yexiao would naturally not stop her. After thinking for a while, he really didn't know what Qian Jiujiu was doing. He glanced at Dongchen and said, "Dongchen, go and invite the princess over."
Then he signaled Dongchen with his eyes, telling him to hurry up and tell Qian Jiujiu that his mother, Concubine Qing, was here.
Dongchen naturally received it as well, but the flirting between the two of them did not escape Concubine Qing's eyes. When she saw Dongchen was about to leave, Concubine Qing snorted coldly.
"Wait a minute, I want to go with you. I want to see what your princess is doing now."
Then he looked at Dongchen and said, "Dongchen, why don't you lead the way for me?"
Dongchen reluctantly led the way in front, and Mu Yexiao followed. When he saw the housekeeper from the mansion behind him, he glared at the housekeeper fiercely.
The housekeeper felt uneasy, but it was none of his business. It was the imperial concubine who didn't allow him to report it.
With his head down, he naturally followed behind, and then a group of people walked towards the yard where Qian Jiujiu lived now.
Qian Jiujiu was busy in the kitchen at this time. The chicken soup that had been simmering for several hours smelled so good.
Mu Yexiao will definitely like it later. If he doesn’t like it, I will give him a bitter pill to swallow in the future.
Thinking this in his heart, Qian Jiujiu felt happy.
The movements of the hands making other medicinal foods also became faster. At this time, Concubine Qing also arrived, but when she looked at the princess's yard, there was no one there.
