The young master of the Wang family was confused. Why would he rebel? Besides, killing all nine of your clans is rebellion. Do you think you are a royal relative
The words "royal relatives" reminded Young Master Wang of this. He didn't know who the people in front of him were. He said, "No, who are you? You can take them all down just by opening your mouth?"
At this moment, the people who were protecting Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu's family appeared in the dark, appeared around the two of them, stepped forward and took down Young Master Wang: "Greetings to King Bingjian, greetings to the princess."
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were always treated the same, and the people around them were dumbfounded. They were all at a loss, thinking they had heard wrongly: "What did these people call you just now?"
"It seems to be the King and the Queen."
In an instant, everyone seemed to come back to life from a petrified state, watching Qian Jiujiu and the other person begin to salute: "Greetings to the King of Side by Side, and greetings to the Princess."
The sound was very loud. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other. Well, they originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now everyone knows that they are back. It’s a bit of a headache.
It was Mu Yexiao who raised his hand: "Everyone, stand up. Take this Wang to the Sky Prison and lock him up. We will make the final decision when the time comes."
As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime, but this young master dared to disrespect the princess, which was a capital crime. The guards were not polite to the young master, and drove him directly to the prison.
The servants around Young Master Wang were dumbfounded. They wanted to go forward, but they didn't dare. Even if they went, they would just be caught. It would be better for them to go back and discuss it with the housekeeper!
So the servant quickly went back to the Wang family's mansion in Kyoto. Qian Jiujiu glanced at the lovely Xiaoya and said, "Okay, no one is threatening you now. If you still want to sell the girl, you can consider it. I will pay one hundred taels and I will not break my promise."
Xiaoya's mother hesitated for a moment and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Princess, we were coerced before and we didn't want to sell our daughter. As for whether to go to the Bingjian Palace, let Xiaoya make the decision herself."
Xiaoya's mother turned and looked at Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, if you don't want to be separated from your parents, then we won't separate. But you have a chance now, that is, follow the princess to the palace, so that you won't be forced to be bought away in the future. Think about it carefully."
Qian Jiujiu was a little surprised that Xiaoya's mother thought so far ahead. This woman is really talented. She was also a little curious about what Xiaoya would choose. Looking at Xiaoya, Xiaoya was already ten years old and obviously sensible. She looked at Qian Jiujiu.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but Xiaoya still wants to stay with her parents."
This is a choice. Qian Jiujiu nodded: "That's good. It's better for the child to grow up with his parents. You have a happy family, which is good."
Xiao Bei suddenly jumped up and took out a jade hairpin: "Sister Xiaoya, this is for you. Take it and come to play with me when you have time."
Xiaoya was a little surprised. The whole family looked at the jade hairpin with some fear. Qian Jiujiu comforted her: "This is my daughter, she is about your age, cute. It seems that she likes you very much. If you have nothing to do, you can come to the palace to accompany her, just as a playmate."
When the people around heard this, they were so envious. How many people dream of being a playmate of the princess of the palace? When Xiaoya's mother heard this, she wanted to pull her husband and Xiaoya to kowtow to Qian Jiujiu and others.
Qian Jiujiu waved his hand: "It's getting late, we have to go back."
Xiaobei waved at Xiaoya and said, "Come and play with me when you have time. I'll show you some fun things."
Everyone made way for Qian Jiujiu's family. After watching Qian Jiujiu and others leave, they continued to discuss for a long time, saying that Xiaoya's family was extremely lucky.
After Qian Jiujiu returned to the palace, the information that he had asked Ziyuan to deal with was quickly reported: "Princess, this young master has indeed harmed many young girls, and they are all dead. Moreover, he said that he was bought with silver, and some people took the initiative to send people to your door after hearing about it."
Qian Jiujiu felt very uncomfortable about this. Although there were still beggars in the current Great Zhou, as long as you were diligent, you would have enough food and clothing. He still insisted on selling his daughter or sending her to death. In comparison, Xiaoya's family seemed even more precious.
Mu Yexiao could see that Qian Jiujiu felt a little uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed Qian Jiujiu's hand: "Some people are like this. There are a hundred different personalities among a hundred people. There is no need to get angry over strangers. Now that we are back, we should go to the palace. Should we let someone notify Xiaoman?"
Qian Jiujiu shook her head: "That's not necessary. Xiaoman is probably thinking about her husband right now. Let's ignore her for now. We were waiting for her to come to us and enter the palace. Now that this has happened, we should go and pay our respects to our mother first."
The two of them took the child and headed for the palace. When Xiaoman entered the city, she separated from Qian Jiujiu and the others and went back to the Xiangfu first. She was eager to see her husband, but after she went back, Gu Xiangning did not come back.
Xiaoman decided to give her husband a surprise, so she went to the kitchen to prepare the meal herself, and didn't let anyone tell Gu Xiangning that he was back. Gu Xiangning didn't know she was back, and when he came back, he went straight to the study to deal with things.
During this time, he was alone at home and didn't even go back to his room to sleep. After Xiaoman came back, the housekeeper told her everything about Gu Xiangning, and Xiaoman felt a little distressed.
Gu Xiangning was back, and it was time to serve the food he had cooked. Soon, Xiaoman came to the study with the food and said in a pretentious voice, "My Lord, it's time to eat."
The guard standing at the door opened the door of the room with great discernment, and Xiaoman came in with the meal. Gu Xiangning didn't even raise his head, and directly scolded: "Who let you in? Put the things down and get out."
Xiaoman curled her lips and said delicately, "Do you really want me to go out? If I go out, don't regret it."
Gu Xiangning frowned: "How dare you seduce me..."
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Man came up to her and said, "Oh? Then I wonder what you think of me, sir? Are you tempted by me?"
Gu Xiangning's eyes flashed with fondness, and he pulled Xiaoman into his arms: "When did you come back?"
Xiaoman sat on Gu Xiangning's lap without any hesitation, pouting and looking unhappy: "I'm not happy."
Gu Xiangning looked puzzled: "You are unhappy? What's wrong? I don't seem to have done anything. Is it because of the Queen? The Queen was not bullied, it was just a show with the Emperor..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiaoman stood up and said, "What's wrong with the Queen? You must have been wronged when you said that."
Gu Xiangning's mouth twitched: "You are not angry about this matter? Then what are you angry about? You haven't told me when you will be back!"
Xiaoman rolled her eyes: "I just came back today, why am I angry, you really don't know?"
Gu Xiangning thought about it and looked at Xiaoman: "I didn't do anything? I really didn't do anything. What happened? I'm so scared when you do this."
Xiaoman burst out laughing: "You just know how to tease me, and you're still afraid? You're not afraid of anything, and you ignored my words. When you left, you said you would take good care of yourself, but you ended up sleeping in the study every day."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hugged by Gu Xiangning: "So you are worried about me. Without you, it doesn't matter where I sleep. This saves time. And I am in good health. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xiaoman took Gu Xiangning's hand and felt his pulse. Yes, he was indeed healthy. "Then I'll let you go for now. Tell me about the Queen. If not, I'll go and make a scene in the palace."
Siqi at the door suddenly said, "Madam, you don't have to make a scene in the palace. Someone else has done it for you. But if you want to see the fun, you'd better hurry into the palace. I didn't want to disturb you and the Prime Minister, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be angry..."
Siqi then recounted what happened when Qian Jiujiu and the others were shopping. Xiaoman blinked her eyes and said, "So that young master of the Wang family has good taste. He fell in love with Princess Bingjian at first sight. Is my sister still charming?"
Gu Xiangning stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaoman's nose: "If your brother-in-law hears what you said, he will beat you. Let's go to the palace. The emperor's life will not be easy."
Just pamper Concubine Yan for show, but why do you have to bring along a stupid brother? Isn't this a betrayal to the entire Wang family
Moreover, Gu Xiangning heard what Xiaoman said just now and said that she didn't understand it at all. A woman's mind should be angry. Someone teased her sister? Why did she praise him? Praising the other person for having good taste is also a compliment.
When the two entered the palace, Qian Jiujiu, Mu Yexiao and others were already in the Cining Palace. The Queen Mother was also very happy when she heard from Aunt Zhang that Xiaoman and Prime Minister Gu were here.
"Call them in quickly. You all are so thoughtful. As soon as you get back, you come to see an old woman like me."
Qian Jiujiu nodded with a smile: "Yes, I've been thinking about you for a long time. Are you living well in this palace? Why don't you stay in the palace for a while, or go to South Island with us. The construction of South Island is going well now."
Xiaoman also nodded: "Yes, Queen Mother, we can also go to Nandao to catch seafood, which is very interesting!"
Nanbeibei also joined in talking about the fun of catching fish at the beach, and then Xiaobei suddenly spoke up: "Where's Yin'er? Why didn't I see him? And the two younger brothers, why didn't they come?"
The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Nanbeibei and Beibei: "My brothers are all in your aunt's palace! If you want to see them, ask someone to bring them here later. Speaking of which, you haven't seen Jiuer yet, right?"
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other and tacitly did not mention the Queen's seclusion of the palace.
