Seeing that someone agreed with her statement, Xiao Ting was even happier. The voices of the two were so loud that they could be heard far away.
"But don't worry, Uncle Mu, I've been able to scold those shameless people. They are all big shots, with heads and faces. If they still come to snatch them, then they will really be shameless and throw their face on our empire!"
"Really? This old slave knows that the princess is the most powerful!"
Ever since Xiao Ting left the palace, many eyes followed her around, and now she naturally followed outside the Ninth Prince's Mansion, plus some eyes that were originally guarded outside the palace, almost every move of them lived in the eyes of many people.
Hearing the conversation between master and servant, everyone was speechless. The Ninth Concubine was really as arrogant and lawless as the rumors said!
But for you to insult people from other four countries and ten places so openly, you are really ticklish.
They are all famous big men, either the princes of a country, or generals and the like, and there are even monarchs in it. If you say one sentence, you are shameless, and if you say two words, those people will lose face if they want to.
Steward Mu and Xiao Ting were talking happily, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of two people following behind him, his eyes froze, and he asked casually.
"Princess, where did you pick up two masters?"
Xiao Ting looked back and knew who he was talking about, and said casually.
"Uncle Mu, don't misunderstand me. I didn't cut these two. I don't have to be responsible for finding work for them. They were specially sent by the Empress Dowager to protect me in fear that I would be in danger!"
"Old slave, I thank the empress dowager, she is really a good person!" Steward Mu bowed deeply in the direction of the imperial city as he said, expressing his gratitude.
"I've already thanked my lady. By the way, they are dark guards. Do you know what a dark guard is? It's the kind of martial arts that is super powerful, you know
I'm not afraid at all, whoever dares to bully this concubine, let the two of them fight back! "
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Mu, I'll lend you the two of them for the time being. If you don't like anyone, you can ask the two of them to call back. The prince and I haven't been in the imperial city for a while, and there is no one to back you up. Someone must be bullying you, right?"
Xiao Ting choreographed casually, walking farther and farther away from Butler Mu, and gradually disappeared into the gate.
And the two men sent by the Empress Dowager to 'protect' Xiao Ting looked at each other.
They all saw each other's helplessness and anxiety.
This Ninth Princess is really capable of tossing around.
Originally, the two thought that as long as the Ninth Prince appeared, they would definitely be able to find his hiding place, but now they felt that it might be unknown whether they would be able to see the Ninth Prince alive.
Judging by the posture of the Ninth Princess, she is planning to use them as thugs to deal with waves of people who want to arrest her.
The news of Xiao Ting's return to the Ninth Prince's Mansion quickly spread throughout the entire imperial city.
Those who came to visit openly and secretly almost broke the courtyard walls and thresholds of the Nine Princes Mansion.
But Xiao Ting was in a good mood because an acquaintance came to the mansion today.
"Fifth sister, come in quickly."
It's been a long time since I came back, and the weather is getting colder.
Fortunately, the imperial city is not in the north, otherwise she would have to freeze to death.
Xiao Ting greeted Xiao Jing, the fifth girl of the Xiao family who hadn't seen her for a long time, who is the concubine of the current eldest prince, Xiao Jing.
I haven't seen her for two years, Xiao Jing has changed a lot.
Xiao Ting still remembered how embarrassed Xiao Jing was at the banquet before the election of the eldest prince and concubine.
At that time, she was very timid, she didn't dare to look at anyone at all, she just hid aside and sat there cautiously, and then she was humiliated by the little princess of Yue country, and then bumped into Yun Lanzhi.
If it wasn't for Xiao Ting, it would have been too late to stand up for her in the end, I'm afraid Xiao Jing would have given up that idea long ago.
But despite this, the old lady of the Xiao family still hopes that she can strive to become the eldest prince's concubine, so as to stabilize the honor and favor of the Xiao family.
After all, at that time, the two most honorable girls of the Xiao family lost one after another, and only one, Xiao Jing, was waiting in her boudoir.
The past happened in a flash, and Xiao Ting looked at the woman in front of her carefully again, and she suddenly felt like a different person.
She, with a brocade embroidered pearl and jade hairpin, has a calm gaze.
She is just like a girl, she doesn't have the timid and timid look she had back then.
"I heard that you're back, and I've always wanted to come and see you, but the first prince said that you were in a bad situation in the palace, so he didn't want me to disturb you."
Avoiding the servants, Xiao Jing grabbed Xiao Ting's hand almost eagerly, looked her up and down, tears fell from her eyes.
"I heard that many people want to arrest you and harm the Ninth Prince. Why don't you stay in the palace? What are you doing out of the palace?"
From Xiao Jing's point of view, the tall wall outside the imperial palace would definitely block many people, but the palace is weak, and the Ninth Prince is not in the palace, Xiao Ting is alone, no matter how you look at it, she is delivering food to others.
"Fifth sister, don't get excited. Why are you acting like a child? Every time Xiao Shi doesn't see me, he has to cry. It's hard for him to grow up and stop crying. You, a big sister, started crying again!"
Xiao Ting expressed helplessness, are these people made of water
I don't know how to practice this endless kung fu of crying. In the past, Hong Shao's tears were like rain, falling down.
Xiao Jing also felt embarrassed, and lightly patted Xiao Ting's shoulder with red eyes.
"You're the one laughing at me!"
The two sisters didn't have a deep relationship before. According to Xiao Ting's memory, they hardly saw each other.
Before Xiao Ting left, she had to listen to something casually said about the selection of concubines by the First Prince. Later, Xiao Jing got her wish and entered the First Prince's Mansion.
"How has my sister been in the past two years?"
Xiao Ting still learned this shabby way from others, but she regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth.
The eldest prince likes her, and everyone in the entire imperial city knows it.
Xiao Ting looked a little embarrassed, hehe, and laughed.
It turned out that Xiao Jing was very happy.
"Okay, of course!"
Xiao Ting couldn't hide anything in her heart at first, but when she heard what Xiao Jing said, she looked up at her in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm really living a good life, taking the prince to treat me very well, and to be honest, living in the eldest prince's mansion is much better than in Xiao's house!"
This is the real reason.
"You don't have to be jealous. I know that the eldest prince likes you, but he treats me really well. We are just a couple in name. I don't ask for anything in this life. I just want to live my life in peace. Now it's really good. No one bullies me, and I eat well and dress well!"
Xiao Jing's straightforward expression made Xiao Ting a little restless.
"Okay, see what I say and do. Don't worry, I won't interfere with anything. I'm here just to see you!"
The two sisters lied here, Xiao Jing was not a talkative person, and Xiao Ting was not a good opponent for chatting, so the scene between the two became quiet after a while.
"Oh, look at my memory, I brought you an acquaintance this time."
"acquaintance?"
Xiao Ting followed her gaze and looked out, naturally she knew it wasn't the Xiao family.
But who else would she and Xiao Jing know together
"elder sister… "
A half-grown boy stood at the door, bathed in the sun, full of vigor and vigor.
Long black hair, raised up high, cold eyebrows and starry eyes, very handsome.
Xiao Ting was still wondering whose family this boy was, but when she heard this familiar call, she immediately remembered it.
"Two dogs."
It was Er Gouzi, the boy who came out with her from the hermit village.
"Well, it's me, I'm Er Gouzi!"
There were tears in the boy's starry eyes, and they were about to fall.
Ergouzi is also called Xiao Shishi now, and Xiao Ting took it for him when he returned to the imperial city.
Such a name in the countryside is very pleasant to call, but if it is called this name among nobles, people will look down on it, Xiao Ting still knows this.
Xiao Shishi is now taller than Xiao Ting, but such a tall boy, when he heard Xiao Ting call this familiar name, he couldn't hold back and started crying.
"elder sister… "
Xiao Ting was excited at first, then was speechless again.
Hurry over and ask Er Gouzi to pull him up.
"My God, you want to flood my place first, so that those bad guys who are eyeing tigers can come in, don't you?"
"Sister..." Xiao Shishi was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood that Xiao Ting was teasing him, and also knew that this strange sister hated people crying, so he immediately sucked his nose and endured it.
"My God, you've grown so tall. What did you eat to grow it? Look, you're taller than me. I'm so pissed off!"
Xiao Ting gestured to the height of the two of them, and said angrily with her mouth pouting.
"My sister is a girl, and I am a boy, so of course I will be taller than my sister!"
"Ouch, who taught you the crooked reasoning?"
Xiao Ting pulled Xiao Shishi to sit down, then turned her eyes to Xiao Jing, and said quietly.
"I guess it must have been taught by my brother-in-law."
When she called her brother-in-law, Xiao Jing didn't react at all at first, but then she was dumbfounded.
Not only her, Xiao Shishi was also a little speechless.
Looked at this, then looked at that, and finally said slowly.
"My sister and sixth sister, are your generations really messed up?"
"What's wrong? Isn't it all your sister?" Xiao Ting thumped his forehead with a thump.
"It's my sister, that's right."
Xiao Shishi frowned, rubbed his forehead, and continued.
"Look, my sister is married to the eldest prince. Logically, you should call the eldest prince brother-in-law, but you are married to the Ninth Prince. If the eldest prince wants to call the prince his uncle, he will call you his aunt. Then do you want to call the eldest prince his brother-in-law? Or will my sister call you Aunt Wang?"
Xiao Shishi's seemingly messy but reasonable statement made the Xiao sisters dumbfounded.
Then the three of them looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Xiao Jing stayed at Nine Princes Mansion for lunch and dinner.
The weather was fine today, and there was a sunset when the night fell. They watched the sunset together, and Xiao Ting sent the siblings out of the palace.
However, Xiao Ting just returned to the palace.
Butler Mu came to report, and Mr. Xiao came.
"Which Young Master Xiao?"
