Qian Jiujiu was speechless. Could it be that neither the father nor the son could get the point? Who cared about the butterfly? He stared at Nan Nan silently, his eyes full of resentment.
This made Nan Nan look at the butterfly in her hand with some confusion: "Mother, don't you like butterflies? Or do you think this butterfly is ugly?"
Qian Jiujiu thought about it, looked at the innocent Nan Nan, and took the butterfly over. She also hugged Nan Nan and said, "Nan Nan, be good. Mommy likes butterflies very much."
"That's why mother is reluctant to catch butterflies. You see, butterflies are most beautiful when they fly freely in the sky."
Nan Nan said "oh" and then just kept staring at the butterfly for a long time before she spoke: "It's only beautiful when it really flies."
"No wonder you kept looking at my sister's butterfly. You think I shouldn't catch butterflies, right? I'll go tell my sister to let go of the butterfly!"
After saying that, he struggled out of Qian Jiujiu's arms and quickly came to Bei Bei's side. The two of them were holding each other and whispering something.
Beibei quickly let go of the butterfly in his hand. Mu Yexiao saw this and glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "You ruined the children's fun!"
Qian Jiujiu was speechless: "I don't know why this happened?"
Mu Yexiao served Qian Jiujiu a bowl of soup: "Alright, eat quickly, we have to go back to Kyoto quickly, the birth of my brother's first child is a big deal!"
Qian Jiujiu of course knew this too. After finishing their meal, the group began to pack up and continued on their journey. Two days later, they finally arrived in Kyoto.
After returning to the palace, the first thing they did was to enter the palace. The two of them brought their children into the palace, and the empress dowager had already received the news that the family was going to enter the palace.
She was extremely happy. She had been in a very good mood recently. Her eldest son had a child, her youngest son came back with his grandchildren. How could she not be happy
The smiling face became more and more kind, almost turning into a flower. The emperor naturally got the news, but only Mu Yexiao came to see him.
Qian Jiujiu brought the two children to see the Empress Dowager and soon arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace: "When you see the Empress Dowager later, you must pay your respects to her, understand?"
Nannanbeibei nodded. Wanyin had really taught them etiquette very well. When they saw the empress dowager, they kowtowed in a very standard way: "Nannan greets the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be blessed."
"Beibei has met the Empress Dowager, may the Empress Dowager be blessed."
Looking at the pair of identical dolls below, the Queen Mother was so happy that she quickly spoke and stood up excitedly: "Oh, the Queen Mother's precious grandchildren are back, get up quickly."
She walked down and held the two children in her arms. In fact, the Empress Dowager did have some complaints about sending the two children away.
It was a pity that no matter how much she complained, she still couldn't make Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu give up this idea. And most importantly, if she left the two children behind, she really couldn't guarantee their safety.
But she also missed her child, and now that she had finally gotten her child back, the Queen Mother subconsciously ignored the fact that they would be leaving again soon.
The Queen Mother sat down with the two children in her arms, looking at them and asking, "What did you learn on Mingyue Island? Have you started writing?"
"What's fun on Mingyue Island?"
Nan Nan was also answering questions in a flurry, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were chatting happily. At this time, Xiao Man heard the news that Qian Jiujiu had returned and came over directly.
When Xiaoman saw Qian Jiujiu, she was stunned for a moment, then she greeted the Queen Mother: "Yongxi greets the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother then hummed: "Yongxi is here, but what's the matter?"
Xiao Man directly explained the reason; "Yong Xi heard that Princess Xiao had entered the palace, so he came to ask Princess Xiao to feel the Queen's pulse and check her health."
The Queen Mother then remembered the matter of the Queen and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Then Princess Xiao, you should go there."
The two children saw their mother was about to leave, and they immediately said, "Mother, I want to go too."
"I also need to go… "
Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother naturally didn't want to disappoint the two children, so she nodded directly: "Okay, everyone go, grandma will take you to see your little brother, okay?"
When the two children heard about their little brother, they were stunned for a moment: "Little brother, was he born by our mother?"
The Queen Mother immediately laughed: "Of course not, he was born to your aunt the Queen. He is also your little brother."
The two children became excited at this time: "Is it very small? How small? Grandma, please walk faster, let's go and take a look."
Qian Jiujiu was speechless about this, but still followed behind them. The group went towards the palace. Qian Jiujiu only paid a little attention to the two children.
He asked Xiaoman, "When did you come back?"
Xiao Man pouted: "I have been back for several days. I came back three days after you left. Speaking of which, you are really not nice."
"She actually came back and ran away without waiting for me. But luckily I didn't leave, otherwise the queen would be miserable. Let me tell you, I was the one who performed the caesarean section when the emperor gave birth this time."
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised when she heard this: "Cesarean section? It seems that the queen is lucky. Then what do you want me to check? I'm not a gynecologist."
Xiaoman rolled her eyes and said, "After all, you have to go and take a look. That way I can feel more at ease. By the way, I plan to teach some people how to perform caesarean sections. Maybe this can save lives."
Qian Jiujiu said nothing about it: "Just do it if you want to. Anyway, I won't stay in Kyoto for long. The world is so big, I still want to see more."
Xiaoman felt something was wrong when she heard this: "Why do I feel like you don't plan to take me with you? What are you going to do with me?"
Qian Jiujiu laughed: "Find someone to marry. You are 15 now, it's time to think about your lifelong event. By the way, have you won Gu Xiangning?"
In fact, in Qian Jiujiu's opinion, Gu Xiangning is still very good. When Qian Jiujiu heard this question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment and felt depressed.
"In fact, I don't know if we've won him. Logically speaking, we've fought side by side for the past three years, and we have a tacit understanding and harmony. We should be recognized as a couple."
"Also, the emperor helped me test Gu Xiangning's attitude that day. He should like me, but he has never confessed his feelings to me."
Qian Jiujiu immediately became interested: "How did you test him? Tell me about it. What is your relationship with the emperor? Why would he help you? I don't think he has so much free time."
Xiaoman rolled her eyes: "He is not idle! As for the relationship between me and the emperor, you can understand it this way. I treat him as a buddy, but he wants to sleep with me."
"Puff..."
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but spit out: "You really are, this is a good description, but you are really not attracted to the emperor?"
Xiao Man snorted, "I just don't have a choice. I won't want a stud. He has several women and children. Although people in this era don't care."
"But I have a bottom line. It's impossible for me to like him. What's more, I don't like him! It's Gu Xiangning here that annoys me."
Qian Jiujiu black line: "Then tell me what the temptation is about?"
Xiao Man said, "The emperor used his power to pressure Gu Xiangning not to marry me, and then Gu Xiangning actually said that he would marry me even if he didn't want to marry me."
"Does this mean that Gu Xiangning likes me, too? But if he likes me, why doesn't he confess his feelings?"
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but roll his eyes: "This is almost equivalent to a confession, this is ancient times, dear! Do you want him to say I love you, please marry me in public?"
Xiaoman slapped his forehead immediately: "Yes, my thinking is limited. So, I can tease her anytime. Tsk tsk, I think I missed a lot of opportunities."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Xiaoman who wanted to transform into a slut at this moment and felt helpless. Fortunately, the two of them spoke in a low voice and no one else heard it. Otherwise, they would have died as human beings.
While the two were chatting, they arrived at the queen's bedroom. The queen dowager took the two children to see their little brother, while Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman went to the queen's room.
Seeing that the queen was not in good spirits, Xiaoman walked over and said, "Greetings to the queen. How are you feeling today?"
The queen smiled and looked at Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you are here. I feel good today. I can come down and walk a few steps. What is this?"
When the queen was speaking, she noticed Qian Jiujiu who was following Xiaoman. Qian Jiujiu naturally bowed to the queen at this time: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen."
The queen was stunned for a moment: "Princess Bingjian! You are back?"
Qian Jiujiu was not used to this name: "I am not used to this name! Your Majesty, just call me Jiujiu or Jiuer, just like my mother."
"I just came back. As soon as I entered the palace, Xiaoman dragged me here to check on you. Oh, and my mother is here too, with her two children, to see the little prince!"
Qian Jiujiu had been given special privileges before, and she didn't have to kneel when she saw the emperor, let alone the queen. And the queen also knew that Qian Jiujiu held a high position in the royal family.
She was far from being able to compare to him. It was definitely her luck that Qian Jiujiu was willing to be friends with her. Moreover, Lin Chuwu's ambition was not big, and there was no competition between her and Qian Jiujiu.
Of course, I am willing to befriend Qian Jiujiu: "Since Jiujiu has said so, I will not be polite and call you Jiujiu. Thank you for your help."
As she spoke, the queen also stretched out her hand. Qian Jiujiu began to feel the queen's pulse and then nodded; "She is recovering very well. As for the scar on her belly, don't worry."
"I'll have someone send you a bottle of medicine in a month. Start applying it. The scars can be removed."
When the queen heard this, she was immediately delighted and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Then I'll trouble you, Jiujiu."
