In the main room, Miss Xiao Liu was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, even though there was a lot of noise outside, she still slept soundly.
The quilt had already been rolled into a ball, wrapping her tightly, like a frozen ghost.
The Ninth Prince was sitting beside the bed, looking at her quietly, as if he was doing something big.
If Yuchi knew the important matter that the Ninth Prince said in a cold heart, he would be pissed to death even if he watched Xiao Ting sleep.
When Xiao Ting woke up again, the sun was already high.
There was not much snow last night, and the thin layer had already been evaporated by the sun.
It was a clear day outside, Xiao Ting stretched her waist and realized that something was wrong, this place didn't seem to be familiar to her, so she subconsciously rolled to the side, and with a click, she and her quilt fell to the ground.
This fall directly woke Miss Xiao Liu up, and she climbed onto the bed again clutching her little buttocks.
Hong Shao, who had been guarding outside all this time, rushed in when he heard the movement, and said, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ting turned her head and glared at her, saying, "Didn't you see someone fall asleep? Why am I here?"
Hong Shao was speechless, "You are the one who will stay and take care of the prince, you forgot."
"Ah? Oh, by the way, where is the prince?"
Xiao Ting was still a little confused, rubbed the chicken coop, and asked casually.
"You've entered the palace. The emperor asked Mr. Yuchi to invite him into the palace to narrate, and he asked the slaves to come and take care of you."
"He asked you to come and take care of me, where were you before?"
Hong Shao answered very smoothly, "Young Master Gu is here, the young master is accompanying him, and the servants are also serving there. Besides, the prince will not let the servants come over."
Xiao Ting's eyes almost popped out, "What do you mean the prince won't let you come over?"
Hong Shao narrates what happened earlier, and every word is inseparable from the goodness of the prince to Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting ignored her, packed herself up, and came to the Lanyue Courtyard, she saw Gu Shiyi and Xiao Xin having fun.
"Sister." Seeing Xiao Ting approaching, the two little guys immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Hey, study hard and make progress every day."
In a word, Xiao Ting sent the two of them to study, and there is nothing to do if they don't study at this age.
"Sister Xiao, what am I studying?"
Seeing that Xiao Xin took out the book and read it seriously, Gu Shiyi felt a little innocent.
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded. She herself hadn't studied systematically. She learned things from her master, so it was hard for her.
So she called Chu Yun over.
The little guy is young and has seen a lot. He made a long list of homework, threw it to Gu Shiyi, and then said proudly: "If there is nothing wrong, I will leave."
Then he left behind Xiao Ting who was confused, not knowing who provoked her again.
After Xiao Ting sent the two little ones away, she brought two girls, Hong Shao and Lu Hua, and asked them what happened to Xiao Xin and Chu Yun.
The two girls looked at each other and explained what happened at that time.
Lu Hua took the initiative to speak for Xiao Xin, and said, "Miss, don't blame the young master, he must be afraid of hurting Prince Chu, that's why he said such things."
Xiao Ting didn't feel much after hearing it, and said: "It's rare that these two little ones still quarrel. For a while, I thought that the two of them would live a good life together."
Talking about the unintentional listener, Lu Huo suddenly narrowed her eyes when she heard the words, and asked, "The girl means that she is afraid that the two of them will have feelings for each other?"
Xiao Ting was taken aback for a moment, apparently not realizing what she was talking about.
Lu Hui frowned and explained, "The servant thinks that the girl is afraid that they will have feelings for each other, and it will be troublesome to separate in the future."
"You mean Chu Yun and Xiao Xin?" Xiao Ting finally understood what Lv Hua meant.
She waved her hand and said, "Stop making trouble."
Now Hong Shao asked unwillingly, "Miss, what do you mean by this? Do you think our young master is not worthy of the Ninth Palace?"
"What the hell are you talking about? I mean, the two of them are only four or five years old now. It's too scary for you to think so far, okay?"
"Even if you want to get married in this time and space of yours, it's a matter of thirteen or fourteen years old at the earliest. It's still too early to think about this now."
The two girls blushed, a little embarrassed.
"The girl said that just now, and the servant thought that you were worried that the two of them would get together in the future."
Xiao Ting deliberately opened her eyes wide, looked at them with a look of extreme surprise, and said: "Is this girl so dirty?"
"By the way, mentioning this matter reminds me, shouldn't it be time for the two of you to get married?"
Xiao Ting suddenly felt that her master was unreliable, and it was time for a girl at this age to get married.
The two girls looked at each other, and then said to her in unison, "Miss, you should worry about yourself first."
"What? You two tell me again."
What the hell, other girls are always respectful, but these two girls from her family are almost rebellious.
Xiao Ting glanced at them secretly first, then suddenly got up and ran forward after them, the two girls immediately turned around and ran away.
For a while, laughter came from the room.
After a long time, Lvcao asked Xiao Ting if she wanted to intervene in the conflict between Shizi Yun and the young master.
Xiao Ting shook her head and said, "No need, they can handle their own affairs well, and adults should not meddle in children's affairs."
An hour later, Gu Shiyi slipped over and was circling outside the main house looking like a thief. When Lvcao came in and bumped into him, he quickly lay down.
Lu Huo told Xiao Ting about this, and Xiao Ting called him in for questioning.
Gu Shiyi did not hide anything, and said bluntly: "Sister Xiao, you are no longer the ninth princess, should we go back to the other garden?"
"Oh, yes, that one is packing up and going home."
Only then did Miss Xiao Liu realize that something was wrong.
A group of people rushed back in a mighty way, and when they packed their things, hehe, they came with two shoulders and one head, and now they have nothing to take away.
Here, they were stopped by Butler Mu before they left the gate of Nine Princes Mansion.
Xiao Ting has already thought up a set of rhetoric, which was taught by Lu Hua.
But before she could speak, Steward Mu knelt down with a plop, which really shocked Xiao Ting.
"I said, what are you doing, Uncle Mu?" It really scared her to death.
The old man used to always be smiling, but now he cried and knelt down when he saw her. This miserable appearance, no matter how you look at it, looks like he did it.
"Princess, are you leaving?" Before Xiao Ting could respond, he continued, "This old slave begs the princess to stay, I have pity on the prince."
"What's so pitiful about the prince?"
Shouldn't she be the poor one
"Princess, you don't know. In the past half a year since you were absent, the prince has been plagued by serious illnesses several times, and he slept for a long time. It seems that he has returned to the old days. The whole palace is living in darkness."
"The imperial concubine is right. You are the nobleman of the prince and the lucky star of our nine palaces. If you leave, what will the prince do if something happens to you? And Shizi Yun is still young, so he will listen to you, so you can stay!"
What the old man said, Xiao Ting didn't care at all.
In short, he just said, life and death is not to let go.
When Xiao Ting was having a headache, a loud cry came, it was someone from the palace.
The person who came came to deliver the imperial decree, Mu Steward was a little surprised, the prince had already entered the palace.
But the father-in-law who came to pass the decree named him by name and asked Xiao Ting to accept the decree.
"Me?" Xiao Ting was depressed, she was no longer the Ninth Princess, why did these old witches in the palace still trouble her.
It turned out that it was not some old hag who troubled her, but the current emperor.
Xiao Ting has gone through the procedure of entering the palace many times, and she is familiar with the process, even sitting in the carriage she feels a little drowsy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived outside the palace, he ran into Princess Zhaohua who was already married and rarely appeared outside.
"Ting'er, why are you here?"
Princess Zhaohua, who was instantly active when she saw Xiao Ting, lifted the curtain of the car and jumped out of the car, running towards Xiao Ting.
Immediately behind her was her fiancé, Li Mingcheng.
He just nodded lightly to Xiao Ting, and then his eyes returned to Zhao Hua.
Xiao Ting rolled her eyes at her, and after beckoning her to come in, she said: "I haven't seen you for almost a year, your father misses me, so I have to go all the way to see him."
"Father?" Zhao Hua was not polite at all, and took a seat directly opposite Xiao Ting.
"I know what you're thinking. I'm afraid that someone will use the name of the emperor to trouble me. I'm not afraid of them."
Xiao Ting said indifferently.
The two little girls sat together and started chatting. Xiao Ting asked how the progress between Zhaohua and Li Mingcheng was.
But Zhaohua hesitated and refused to say more, only said that his heart was dead, just like everyone else.
Xiao Ting couldn't quite understand this kind of feeling, she tried a few words of persuasion, but seeing that it didn't work, she stopped mentioning it.
Soon, they arrived outside the imperial study room.
There was already a chief eunuch waiting there, and when the carriage stopped, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Miss Xiao Liu, please come here as your servant."
Zhaohua was worried about Xiao Ting, so he wanted to go in with her, but was stopped outside.
"Princess, don't be angry, the emperor said he won't see you today."
"Why? Father Emperor..."
Zhaohua was still arguing with the eunuch, but Xiao Ting had already walked inside first.
The emperor was the only one in the entire imperial study room. He sat there alone, as if he was looking up something, his expression fluctuating.
"The little girl pays homage to the emperor."
Hearing this, the emperor raised his head and looked forward.
It took a while before he said, "I heard that you have returned to the Nine Princes' Mansion."
Xiao Ting nodded, "My lord is sick, I must always pay attention to him."
"Do you really have a way to let Ah Li live?"
Xiao Ting did not lie to him, said: "If you return to the emperor, you are not 100% sure."
"Oh, that means you know what's going on with his body."
"That's natural. It's just that his body suffered a lot in the past twenty years. Now everything has to be done slowly."
By saying this, she also made a contribution to taking care of the Ninth Prince in the future.
"Okay, I sent you here today to ask if you are willing to enter the Imperial Hospital?"
"ah?"
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded. Can we still have a good chat
