Gu Xiangning followed Xiaoman out and stood outside the lobby. Gu Xiangning looked at the mysterious blush on Xiaoman's face and was puzzled: "What do you want to tell me that makes you blush like this?"
Xiaoman glared at Gu Xiangning fiercely: "How dare you? Didn't you see that my sister laughed at me just now? You touched my butt in front of me!"
"I knew this guy. He must have gone to watch the fun last night. You could have carried me back to my room, but why did you spank me?"
Gu Xiangning hadn't noticed Qian Jiujiu's actions just now, so he didn't know about this matter at all. He immediately expressed his innocence and coughed twice: "I didn't mean it."
He just did it because he was possessed by some strange spirit. Now, hearing Xiaoman being mercilessly ridiculed by Qian Jiujiu, he suddenly felt a little distressed. Xiaoman rolled his eyes.
She said she did not accept this explanation and snorted coldly, "I will not talk to you about this anymore. I called you out because I wanted to ask you, were you serious about proposing marriage last night?"
Gu Xiangning immediately said: "Of course it's true, why are you in such a hurry to marry me now?"
Xiao Man snorted, "Of course not. I came to tell you that I am going to the palace now. I guess I can only go home after the queen is out of confinement. If you want to propose marriage."
"You must choose a time when I'm at home, otherwise don't blame me if you get turned away. Okay, I'm going to the palace now. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Xiaoman turned around and went in. Gu Xiangning was speechless, watching Xiaoman, Qian Jiujiu and their group go to the palace with their children.
Gu Xiong and Wan Yin also came out and looked at Gu Xiangning: "Xiangning, we want to go out for a walk, you can do whatever you want."
Gu Xiangning said "oh" and looked at the huge palace. In an instant, he was the only one left except the servants. He was speechless for a moment and decided to go out for a walk.
Or go play in the military camp outside? But then again, he went out with Xiaoman like that last time, and he is still one of those who has not been rewarded.
As an outsider, can I enter the military camp? It is not certain whether I can enter or not. However, there is nothing to do in the palace, so it is good to go out for a walk.
So Gu Xiangning went straight out of the palace and rode his horse to the army gate. Now outside the city there were troops stationed there who protected Kyoto all year round.
There is only one army left, and that is the army that retreated from the Ningguo front. As for the army brought back by Mu Yexiao, it has already been arranged by the emperor.
Those who retreated retreated, those who were reorganized were reorganized, and they did not stay in Kyoto. Gu Xiangning was a well-known figure in this army.
When the gatekeeper saw Gu Xiangning coming, he immediately cheered: "The military advisor is back."
Soon, the general who was rewarded this time came to greet Gu Xiangning: "Military Advisor, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, we would have gone to the Bingjian Palace to look for you."
"Your Majesty, why did you still receive the reward? And the general's reward hasn't come yet, what's going on?"
Gu Xiangning looked at this person and said, "The general's reward has been issued. She changed the condition of her own freedom of marriage. As for mine, there is no rush. Let's wait a little longer."
When the general heard this, he frowned and said, "Maybe the emperor doesn't want to reward you? We are all going to jointly submit a petition to ask the emperor to reward you."
Gu Xiangning stopped him immediately after hearing this: "This won't work. Do you have any action? If not, cancel it immediately. You can rest assured that the current emperor will not forget my..."
On this side, Gu Xiangning was persuading these generals to be honest, while on the other side, after Mu Yexiao entered the palace, he was also discussing Gu Xiangning's matter with the emperor.
Mu Yexiao looked at the emperor. "Brother, what do you plan to do with Gu Xiangning?"
The emperor looked conflicted, but he had nothing to hide from Mu Yexiao: "As for Gu Xiangning, I'm really conflicted about him! He's clearly a love rival!"
"I wish I could destroy him, but he is exactly the help I need. It's a difficult situation..."
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows. Humane destruction? He coughed twice and said, "Brother Emperor, I know that you have some feelings for Xiaoman, but is it true love if you can't win people's hearts?"
"And since you're paying attention to Xiaoman, do you know why Xiaoman has the title of Demon General? Why would Xiaoman, who is not such a cruel person, give the order to massacre two cities in a row?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and Mu Yexiao continued, "Also, Xiaoman has been in the army for three years, and has been with the soldiers day and night. She is not a woman suitable to stay in the harem."
Listening to Mu Yexiao's words, the emperor smiled bitterly: "It seems that you don't support me and Xiaoman being together!"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "No, if you don't force Xiaoman, and Xiaoman is willing to be with you, I won't object."
"But as for Gu Xiangning's choice, it's up to you. By the way, how is Prime Minister Ren?"
The emperor glanced at Mu Yexiao. It seemed that he, as an emperor, did not regard Ren Zaisheng as his grandfather at all! Yes, he himself could not do it, let alone Mu Yexiao.
"Speaking of which, this is what I planned..."
As soon as Mu Yexiao entered the palace, he went to see the emperor, while Qian Jiujiu went to the empress dowager first, and Xiaoman went to the queen. At the beginning, Qian Jiujiu and the queen dowager were coaxing the children to play.
Later, the two of them just started chatting and let the two children play by themselves. In order to make the two children happy, there were many toys in the Empress Dowager's Palace!
Watching the two children having fun playing with toys, the Queen Mother and Qian Jiujiu began to discuss topics between women because the Queen Mother discovered a problem.
"Jiu'er, you really take good care of yourself. Look at your skin. After all these years, you still look like an 18-year-old girl."
Qian Jiujiu was silent for a while, feeling very conflicted. Because children were born early in ancient times, she is only about 20 years old now! Isn't it natural for her to have good skin
Looking at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty's skin is also very good, but it has been a long time since you have made a facial mask, otherwise, Jiuer will make one for you now?"
In fact, the Queen Mother really liked Qian Jiujiu's massage skills, so she nodded in agreement. Qian Jiujiu asked the maid to look after the two children, and then she went to massage the Queen Mother.
Nan Nan and Bei Bei saw their grandmother and mother were gone, and after playing with toys for a while, they felt a little bored. And they definitely came to the palace for their younger brother.
Beibei pulled his brother Nannan and said, "Brother, let's go play with our little brother, okay?"
Nan Nan thought about it and felt a little bored, so she nodded: "Okay, let's go, call Sister Qingyue and Sister Qinglian, otherwise we will get lost, the palace is very big."
Beibei also thought it made sense, so she waved her hand and called over the two maids beside her. Qinglian and Qingyue were both Qian Jiujiu's personal maids at the beginning, so the two children still cared about them very much.
Qingyue and Qinglian looked at each other in confusion and walked over: "Prince, Princess, what's the matter?"
Qingyue, who was speaking, always had a bad feeling, and sure enough, she heard Beibei's words: "Sister Qingyue, let's go find little brother to play, let's go quickly."
After just saying that, the two children held hands and ran away. When Qingyue saw this, she was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly.
"Qinglian, let's go after them. The rest of you go report to the Queen Mother and the Princess."
After saying this, she and Qinglian chased after him. The remaining palace maids were deeply shocked and speechless, but they still obediently went to report to the Queen Mother and the Princess.
When Qian Jiujiu heard the news, he just asked, "Qingyue and Qinglian followed them."
The maid answered honestly: "I have already caught up."
Qian Jiujiu just hummed and didn't answer. The palace maid was full of confusion because she didn't know that Qingyue and Qinglian were actually very familiar with the palace.
It was enough to have the two of them following! And indeed, the two maids were very familiar with the terrain of the palace, and they ran out with the two children, but the two children stopped after running for a while.
Because there was a fork in the road ahead, Beibei was actually very reluctant to go, because she had inherited the gene of being bad at finding her way from her mother!
Every time he went out, he always didn't know the way, so he had to follow his brother. Thinking of this, Beibei felt very depressed and stopped to look at his brother.
"Brother, which way should we go? They are catching up with us."
As expected, while they were talking, Qingyue and Qinglian had already caught up with them. Seeing that the two young masters did not leave, they understood what had happened.
He glanced at the two of them and said, "Young Master, the Queen's palace is over here."
The two children looked at each other and then at Qingyue: "Sister Qingyue, please lead the way."
Qingyue had no choice but to walk in front, while Qinglian followed behind, and the four of them set off on the road to the Queen's Palace. But they didn't expect it.
Before reaching the Queen's Palace, halfway there, he met two people. These two people were none other than Concubine Han and Concubine Liu, who also came to pay their respects to the imperial palace.
In fact, the real reason was that Concubine Liu was obsessed with her child, and she thought it was good to see other people have children since she didn't have one. No one expected that.
She didn't see the little prince but saw the two dolls first. You know, these two dolls are much more fun than the little prince, so Concubine Liu went up excitedly.
Looking at the two children: "Little prince, little princess, you are also entering the palace today? Where are you going?"
When the two children heard someone calling them, they turned around to look at the person who came. Then, there was some confusion in their eyes. Beibei said, "It turns out that it is the Empress that the two emperors did not want to have dinner with you."
Hanpin and Liupin were speechless. Could this child not be so heartbreaking? Is it really okay to say it so directly? Hanpin glanced at Liupin, and her eyes seemed to say:
"Do you still think the child is cute?"
