The Empress Dowager said viciously: "I will send someone to keep an eye on her movements. I want to see how capable she is. Can she cover the sky with one hand in this palace?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the one from the Ninth Prince's Mansion will be handed over to Zhuyue!" Princess Zhuyue bent her knees and said bluntly.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect to raise so many children and grandchildren, but in the end the most caring girl is you." The empress dowager sat down again, with a loving expression on her face, which was far from the image of the wicked mother-in-law just now, and she was like a different person.
Mo Yue's eyes are bright and kind, she is the kind of woman who can make people feel good at just one look, and she is not as respectful as the other women, and what she says is pointed at the vital point without offending others.
And her eyes have a haughtiness that is different from ordinary people, even when facing the empress dowager, she does not feel inferior.
"It's the empress who showed her love, which gave Yuyue the opportunity to share it with you."
"But you girl, it's different from the last time you came back this time. You kept calling me 'Ma'am', why didn't the emperor's grandmother stop calling?"
The empress dowager took her hand and walked towards the apse.
The well-behaved maid hurriedly stepped forward to tidy up, all lamenting that the Princess of Prince Rui's Mansion is very capable, and she let the Empress Dowager calm down within a short time.
Zhui Yueluo followed her half a step, and heard the words and replied: "My father said that only the descendants of the royal family who were born in the imperial city can call your grandmother. I didn't know what to do last time, and please forgive me for the crime of overstepping!"
There is an unwritten rule in the empire. Only the children born to the emperor are orthodox. This was the case a hundred years ago. Other princes will be assigned to fiefdoms and hereditary for two generations to control their rights.
Only give it glory and fan title, nothing else.
"Okay, it's all old rules, I allow you to call my imperial grandmother."
But Zhu Yue refused, "Rites cannot be abolished, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and there is a clear distinction between sons and concubines. Only in this way can the empire be stronger. Zhu Yue must not be a sinner of history."
While the empress dowager praised her, she was thinking about her sentence, 'there is a difference between a monarch and a minister'.
I felt more and more that the emperor was too forgiving of the Ninth Prince.
No, she must find a way to transfer the Ninth Prince away, otherwise this precedent will be set, and how will future generations be able to set the law.
"If everyone is as enlightened as Muyue, this palace and the emperor will be very pleased."
Not to mention, because of the words of Princess Yue Yue, the Empress Dowager targeted the Ninth Prince's Mansion even more, saying that what she did in this way exposed her future affairs and left a way out.
It really counts in one fell swoop!
In the future, let's talk about the future, let's talk about the present, Xiao Ting left the palace with the Ninth Prince, standing beside him like a dog's leg, asking the Ninth Prince to go up first, and then she was stopped before she got into the carriage.
Looking back, I found that Xie Jingtian had arrived.
He was lifted from the carriage, "Are you all right?"
Xiao Ting shook her head, and said carelessly: "It's okay, why did you come out, didn't you tell you to rest at home?"
Xiao Ting walked over as she said that, looked at his leg injury, and said: "What important national event made you run out without even recovering from your illness. You don't know that you have been injured for a hundred days. Hurry up and send your son back."
While talking, she chased people away, and directed Xie Manor's servants to carry Xie Jingtian back on the spot.
But the servants dared to disobey the master's will, looked at this one and then that one by one, but they didn't dare to move.
It was Xie Jingtian who helped them out, "I heard that you have been called into the palace, and I am worried that something will happen to you."
He spoke in a leisurely manner, but his gaze passed Xiao Ting to the carriage that Xiao Ting was about to get into not far away.
That person finally came, and once again snatched away the woman he loved.
"What can I do?" Xiao Ting sneered, "Besides, do you think this girl is so easy to bully? I have self-protection means."
Obviously, Xiao Ting was confident about all this and knew that nothing would happen to her.
"Looks like I'm still one step too late."
Xie Jingtian finally did not wait for that man to show up, he hid in the carriage and ignored his arrival.
Suddenly, Xie Jingtian suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Ting and asked, "Since you are no longer the Ninth Princess, are you willing to marry me?"
"Ah?" Xiao Ting was dumbfounded instantly.
this…
Xu Wei, who was guarding the gate of the palace, happened to pass by here, and saw their combination at a glance.
When he reached the skyline, he heard his friend talking like this again, so he hurried over.
"I'm not afraid of what the world will say about me, and I'm not afraid of any power. I like you for many years. I want to marry you in a dignified way. Would you like it?"
Xie Jingtian can't move his hands and legs now, even if he sits on the shaft of the car, his noble temperament will not be damaged at all.
Not aggressive, just staring affectionately.
"I don't want to."
A faint voice came from the carriage, without any emotion.
Then, the curtain of the car was lifted, and the Ninth Prince came out from inside, with his hands behind his back on the shaft of the car, and looked towards them.
"She is my king's concubine, how can she marry someone else?"
Xie Jingtian was tit for tat, "I'm asking her, not you, my lord."
The two men who were also indifferent spoke very calmly, but there was no trace of peace in their words.
No matter how unresponsive Xiao Ting was, she still felt the strong smell of gunpowder here and now.
What's more, not far away, Xiao Xinhong and the others rushed over and were calling her.
Without saying a word, Xiao Ting rushed over directly, feeling a lot of emotion and persuasion.
Xiao Xin didn't cry this time, Chu Yun still didn't like her, he just snorted softly and said, "Can you still be the Ninth Princess?"
"That's natural. If this girl goes out, she will succeed immediately." Xiao Ting raised her head and said arrogantly.
"My servant pays homage to the princess." Hearing this, Hong Shao and Lv Hua immediately stepped forward to salute, very excited.
As for the woman who stood there and was out of tune with everyone, she was naturally condensed.
She didn't say a word when she saw Xiao Ting, as if she knew Xiao Ting would be fine.
On the other side, Xie Jingtian was not disappointed when he saw Xiao Ting leaving, but followed in his carriage.
Lu Hui reminded Xiao Ting, "Princess, Mr. Xie is here."
She felt that Xie Jingtian's persistence was incomprehensible. It is said that her master is not a lady, nor is he a good wife and mother. Why is this person so stubborn and persistent
Xiao Ting heard the words, then recalled what happened just now, looked at them with some distress, and asked: "Can I marry two men?"
Everyone: "...", opened their mouths wide, and didn't understand what she was saying at all.
Xiao Xin pouted and shook Xiao Ting's arm, "Sister, what are you talking about?"
Xiao Ting held a chicken coop, scratched it again, and said, "I said yes, can I marry two men? Oh, that's not right."
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Ting looked at her worriedly.
"Oh, it's so annoying. Men here can marry wives and concubines, but women don't seem to be able to. What's more, one is a prince, and the other is also from a prominent background."
Hong Shao and the others were the closest, so they naturally heard her muttering, and they all fell into petrification.
The concubine is crazy. After going to the prison, she is even more crazy. She wants to marry two men
"Wangfei, Wangfei, the prince is also here."
Lu Hui was the first to react, and pushed Xiao Ting to bring her back to her senses.
As soon as Xiao Ting heard about the Ninth Prince, she immediately woke up, blinked her innocent eyes, and smiled apologetically at the Ninth Prince.
No way, who let him be her savior, even though she doesn't need to be saved!
But she still read the kindness.
Then he came to Xie Jingtian's carriage and asked curiously: "Do you like me?"
Before Xie Jingtian could speak, she spoke again, "But one woman does not serve two husbands."
"The imperial decree has been issued. Now you are free and can marry as you like. As long as you are willing, I will go to the palace to ask the emperor to marry us."
Xie Jingtian's words were sonorous and powerful, obviously he was not joking.
Xiao Ting had no objection, but she still asked: "Then is your wife as honorable as the Ninth Princess?"
Xie Jingtian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
"It seems that there are no more. You have to salute when you see the Ninth Princess, right?"
"You can't fight back if you are bullied, right?"
Xiao Ting asked a few questions in one breath, Xie Jingtian was speechless.
Xu Wei had already approached, and when he heard Xiao Ting's question, his color changed immediately.
"Sedum, what are you doing here?" Then he angrily scolded his subordinates, saying: "If you don't take your young master back, can you be responsible for what happened?"
Before Xu Wei finished speaking, Xie Jingtian raised his hand to stop him.
"So, that's what you want."
Xie Jingtian's flimsy words seemed to be sarcastic, but in fact they contained bottomless helplessness.
"This is the woman I like." This sentence was his whisper.
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Ting watched the carriage leave helplessly, a little confused, did she say something
Are you asking him a question? Why did you just leave without a sound
"careful."
Before Xiao Ting came back to her senses, she was split open by someone's palm and hit an old tree next to her, nearly hurting herself internally.
"I'm going, what's the situation?"
She managed to get up, only to realize that there were many trapeze people in front of his eyes.
One by one, wearing black robes, descended from the sky and rushed over.
"Princess, be careful."
Lu Hui and Hong Shao took Xiao Xin and Chu Yun to hide immediately, obviously these people did not come for them.
The guards in the palace also joined in, and the city gate was closed tightly, for fear that assassins would break into the palace.
Before Xie Jingtian's carriage left, Xu Wei looked at it coldly, and began to give orders. He dispatched some guards to protect Xie Jingtian, and he also rushed over.
Outside the gate of the palace, there was someone who dared to assassinate, who simply didn't take the empire seriously.
It was the first time he had seen such an arrogant manner.
"kill… "
The battle reached a fever pitch, until, after killing the opponent, the guards in the palace let out a scream as they watched him turn into a black mist and come back to life.
"Monster, monster..."
Everyone turned their heads and saw it naturally. It made people feel chills down their spines. This scene was simply too shocking.
With a cold face, Xu Wei stabbed the head of a man in black with his sword, and then cut it across. The head flew several feet away. The next moment, the body of the man in black in front of him gradually melted, and it was atomized at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
