The emperor's mouth twitched when he heard Qian Jiujiu's voice. You really don't want to open any pot. If you want to change the subject, don't lead it on him.
However, the emperor had not spoken yet. It was the queen mother who spoke: "The queen's belly is really critical now. It is always good to move less."
Qian Jiujiu understood this as soon as he heard this. It seems that the competition in the emperor's harem is still very fierce? But he still spoke again: "Then the queen won't come?"
"Are there no other concubines in the palace? It seems that my daughter-in-law saw the queen?"
The Queen Mother thought it was because Qian Jiujiu didn't know about the harem for many years in the army, but she started to get it for Qian Jiujiu: "Come to think of it, it's true."
"In addition to the queen, the emperor now has two concubines, one Han concubine and one Liu concubine. They were promoted to the concubine position because they have been in the palace for many years."
"Speaking of this, the Ai family finally remembered that a few years ago, the emperor asked the emperor to draft a draft. The emperor always said that the national treasury was tight due to the war on the front line. Now it's fine, the war is over."
"Is it time for the emperor to start a draft this year? This harem has been vacant for a long time. I see that Jiu'er has given birth to two children. They will be four years old this year."
"It's good for you. There are more women than others, and fewer children than others. You only have one in the queen's belly now. It would be better if you were a prince..."
Qian Jiujiu watched the Queen Mother start nagging, and couldn't help complaining in her heart, when will she be able to have this reunion dinner
Fortunately, the Queen Mother was very measured and kept looking at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't you say something? Is this a show of choice or not?"
The emperor glared at Qian Jiujiu fiercely, because it was Qian Jiujiu who spoke about this topic first. Qian Jiujiu looked innocent and had no idea what was going on
Seeing the emperor glaring at her, he immediately turned around and looked at Mu Yexiao: "My lord, look at your brother, he is glaring at me."
For a moment, the emperor was speechless. He even complained to his face. Seeing Mu Yexiao looking at him, the emperor coughed twice and denied: "I didn't, you are wrong."
"Okay, it's getting late. Come on, please pass on the food. After eating, you still have to go see your father."
In this way, the emperor was relieved. The matter was finally settled, and the queen mother could see it, even in front of Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao.
The emperor would not let up on this matter, and shook his head with some disappointment: "Pass the meal on."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, their eyes sparkling. There was gossip in this. What was the emperor trying to do if he didn't draft a draft? But now is not the time for gossip.
It's better to think of a way to get away first. You have to get away first. It's okay to come back and continue to pursue the gossip. With this in mind, Qian Jiujiu let go of this opportunity.
Just because Qian Jiujiu gave up, it didn't mean that others also gave up. No, when he was halfway through eating, he heard the eunuch outside reporting.
"The Queen Mother, Concubine Liu and Concubine Han have come to pay their respects."
The Queen Mother frowned. She didn't like these two women very much, but because of the vacancies in her son's harem, she ignored them. She didn't expect that they would come to her door at this time.
Looking at the eunuch: "It's already night now, what kind of greetings do you need? Let them all go back."
After receiving the order from the Queen Mother, the eunuch turned around and called for someone. Qian Jiujiu originally wanted to ask someone to come in and take a look, but she thought they had something to do later.
Forget it, let's play next time. After finishing eating, he looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law has something to tell you. Are you bored staying in this palace every day?"
"Tomorrow my daughter-in-law and the prince are going out to pick up the two babies. Let's take a walk around and take a look. Do you want to come with us?"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of reluctance appeared on her face: "You are leaving so soon tomorrow? Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Qian Jiujiu blinked: "Because I want to see my children. I haven't seen them in three years, and I don't know if the two children recognize me as a mother."
The loneliness revealed while speaking was not pretended by Qian Jiujiu. But Qian Jiujiu was really worried about this issue, and the Queen Mother felt heartbroken when she heard Qian Jiujiu's words.
No longer stopped: "In this case, you can go pick up the child tomorrow. The Ai family won't go together. The queen is about to give birth, and the Ai family has to sit in the harem."
"Speaking of which, after you have picked up the child, come back and then go out for a walk. The emperor's first child is born, and you will always come back to see it."
"When the child is born, the Aijia will set off with you."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and agreed. Mu Yexiao said, "Okay, then this matter is settled. We will go to see our father now and then leave the palace."
After coming back today, she never went back to the palace and stayed in the palace for a whole day. When the Queen Mother heard Mu Yexiao's words, she also stood up: "Aijia, let's go with you."
The group set out from the Queen Mother's Palace and went to the palace where the ancestral tablets and previous emperors were enshrined. Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu walked in.
They took incense and kowtowed to the emperors of the past dynasties, and then lit all the incense. The Queen Mother was waiting outside, and the emperor did not go in. Only Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao did.
The two people visited the late emperor inside. Mu Yexiao looked at his father's spiritual tablet and couldn't help but say: "Father, my son has destroyed the Qian Kingdom, which can be regarded as revenge for you."
"And even the Ning Kingdom was wiped out. Da Zhou now dominates the world. Are you happy? You must be very happy..."
Qian Jiujiu stayed by Mu Yexiao's side silently, listening to Mu Yexiao and the late emperor share everything they had learned along the way until late at night.
The two of them went out. The Queen Mother looked at Mu Yexiao's red eyes and couldn't help but feel a little red-eyed. However, it was getting late now and the Queen Mother couldn't bear to let the two of them stay up late.
Then he said: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest early. When you set off tomorrow, you don't have to enter the palace."
Mu Yexiao nodded: "I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he took Qian Jiujiu out of the palace. The Queen Mother didn't go, so Qian Jiujiu didn't feel any loss. Although it was getting late, he thought of picking up the child tomorrow.
Qian Jiujiu was too excited to sleep, and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Should we pack things tonight? By the way, have you thought about who you want to take with you?"
Mu Yexiao was amused: "I left Dongchen behind, and I took Nanfeng and Xilin with me. What about you?"
Qian Jiujiu pouted: "Other things remain the same, I will just take Ling Dang and Qing Ye with me. Ling Dang's hometown is on Mingyue Island, and I can go back to see my family this time."
Now that the candidates have been arranged, Mu Yexiao has nothing more to say. As for packing things, that is not their job, and Qian Jiujiu is preparing to go out to play in the carriage.
This was started three years ago, and only three have been made in these years. One is for Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu, and the other is for the two children.
There is also a carriage that is naturally used by people around you. This carriage is made according to a modern RV. It is very convenient for traveling and so on.
When the group of people returned to the palace, the palace was still brightly lit. Seeing the prince and princess coming back, the whole palace became lively.
One by one, the servants lined up to greet Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu. The two did not sleep at night, but called people from the palace all night long.
He told the people in the palace what to do next, because they still would not stay in the palace, and originally thought that everything would remain the same.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper was unwilling, and looked at Mu Yexiao: "My lord, please take this old slave with you when you go out this time. Qingyu can handle the affairs of the palace very well."
"The other second housekeeper is enough to take on a big responsibility and can take good care of the palace."
Just kidding, the housekeeper of the palace has long known that with this princess, the palace is destined to become a decoration, or an inn, where he comes back to stay once in a while.
He had grown up watching the prince, so he was naturally more willing to serve the prince. Mu Yexiao thought about it and agreed, and just like that, there was one more person around him.
After arranging the affairs of the palace, he also explained the affairs of the military camp and asked Dongchen to take care of them. Before dawn the next day, three carriages set off from the palace.
After leaving the city, on the carriage, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu stayed up all night, but at this time, they fell asleep like they were in a cradle.
There is a butler sitting outside. The butler is now acting as a groom. At this time, the butler is still excited: "Fortunately, I am here with you."
"Otherwise, if there are three or two carriages, one driver will be missing."
As for the two coachmen at the back, they were Xilin and Nanfeng. As for Qingye and Lingdang, they were sleeping in the second carriage and would come out to change shifts.
Fortunately, several of them are highly skilled in martial arts, so being a carriage driver is no problem at all.
Just three days after the group left, County Master Yongxi, the general of the Ningguo Front, finally arrived in Kyoto. This time, the emperor did not come out to greet him personally.
Of course, the emperor wanted to come out to greet him, but this time the civil and military ministers were unwilling. After all, even if General Zhengning captured Ning State.
But she was not the King of Xiao, and it was not worthy for the emperor to come in person. Of course, she still took photos of the Taifu and came to greet her in person. This can be said to be a very high treatment.
Returning to Kyoto after three years, County Master Yongxi has also changed from the 12-year-old to the 15-year-old now. Both his face and body are different from before.
She used to be a pretty little girl, but now she is a real beauty. Compared with before, she has completely grown up.
Xiaoman, who was riding a horse, looked at the gate of Kyoto and couldn't help but sigh. After three years of killing, she finally came back.
