As soon as the Ninth Prince returned to the mansion, he came to the place where Xiao Ting lived. He seemed to be thinking about something, and he seemed to be very conflicted. There was no smile on his face, and the indifferent expression he used to have disappeared.
It seems to have encountered some troubles.
Xiao Ting waited for a long time, first stood next to him, then sat next to him, finally, squatted directly at his feet, dangling in front of his eyes from time to time, the Ninth Prince still didn't even look at him, Xiao Ting finally got angry and finally lost all patience.
'Snapped'!
She patted the table, stood up, and asked angrily.
"This girl is talking to you, can you give me some feedback?"
Ninth Prince finally shifted his eyes to her body, looked up and down, seemed a little confused, and didn't know why she behaved like this.
Xiao Ting was very frustrated. She talked for a long time, but people didn't listen to her, but they didn't listen at all.
"Are you listening to me at all?"
Xiao Ting asked again, the voice was so loud that even the servants in the yard heard it.
Hong Shao waved his hand to signal everyone to back away, while he stayed outside.
In the main room, the Ninth Prince tapped his fingers on the table, Xiao Ting glanced at it, and poured another cup of tea for the Ninth Prince reluctantly.
While still muttering, drink, drink, you know how to drink, this girl is still thirsty, it's better to drink water to choke you to death.
It's a pity that God didn't hear her muttering, the Ninth Prince drank the cup of tea smoothly.
The Ninth Prince told Xiao Ting that Concubine Xiao Gui really wanted to escape from the palace, so the emperor put her in the cold palace, just following the rules.
The Ninth Prince didn't mention anything else, but just stated this fact.
"Then aunt won't die? Will someone bully her?"
The Ninth Prince explained, "Although Concubine Xiao Gui was cast into the cold palace, her title is still there. All the women in the palace are human beings, and they will not do thankless things."
Concubine Xiao Gui has been thrown into the cold palace, how could the emperor want her life
What's more, she will never be a threat to other women, so she will be fine.
"So, Lenggong is a good place."
Xiao Ting's mind was spinning rapidly, and she suddenly asked again.
"Where did the woman in the palace who was relegated to the sidelines go?"
The Ninth Prince was slightly taken aback.
How did he know, besides, are there any women in the palace who have been relegated to the sidelines? There should be, but it's never been his concern.
"They're all dead, right? I've seen it before. There is a magnificent looking palace near Yaochi Palace. The place is super big, but there are hares infesting it and weeds are overgrown. It's as tall as a person." Xiao Ting gestured as she spoke, as if telling a story.
"It must have been where the concubine lived before?"
Before the Ninth Prince understood what she was talking about, Xiao Ting changed the topic by herself.
"Then do you know why my aunt is leaving the palace?"
Xiao Ting was very puzzled, she had too many doubts in her heart, it's a pity that the Ninth Prince didn't say much about other things.
He just told her that the map had a lot to do with it, but fortunately she had the heart to keep it, which was considered to have saved Concubine Xiao's life.
When Xiao Ting heard the answer from the Ninth Prince, she felt relieved, knowing that her aunt was really fine.
It's just that I can't live the days of unlimited scenery in the past, but this is not bad, there is nothing wrong with being free.
When Xiao Ting watched those ancient costume dramas in her previous life, she felt that the women in the palace were very pitiful. She wasted her entire youth waiting for a man. Now the man her aunt likes is dead. Well, she can’t leave the palace. So, not entangled with those women is actually the best life.
Of course, it would be even better if you can leave the palace.
It's a pity that in this time and space, she can't fight a creature like the emperor.
"From now on, you are not allowed to enter the palace without this king's company."
The Ninth Prince gave an order suddenly, although Xiao Ting was not happy to hear it, she still snorted coldly: "That imperial palace doesn't match my character, so I don't want to go."
"Where did you get that map?"
Ninth Prince asked suddenly.
Xiao Ting didn't think too much, and told the truth directly, telling what happened.
The Ninth Prince did not say a word for a long time after hearing this. She picked up such an important thing and finally transferred it. Fortunately, she finally returned to the palace.
"Do you remember what that woman looked like?"
Xiao Ting shook her head and said, "What do you want to do? Since she didn't take the things away, you can let her go!"
"Besides, it's just a woman, so why do you care?"
The Ninth Prince was stunned, and decided not to discuss national affairs with Xiao Ting, it was chicken and duck talking.
Concubine Xiao Gui and her father's affairs were resolved, and Xiao Ting returned to her former self.
"Red Spoon, my concubine is hungry, hurry up and get me something to eat."
She yelled at the top of her voice, and the red spoon outside quickly responded, knowing that the rain was over, she ran away in a hurry.
The Ninth Prince looked at the girl lying on the soft couch, pretending to be asleep, and felt a little incredible.
How could there be such heartless people in the world
She didn't know, had she just snatched her life back from the hands of the god of death? Now, just laying down there so heartlessly and sleeping, and still need to eat, is it okay to eat
What is the important thing that can make her depressed and have other negative emotions
For some reason, the Ninth Prince suddenly thought of himself, if he was the one who had an accident today, would Xiao Ting do that in the hall
For him against the noblest man in the whole empire.
Then, he shook his head again, no, no one, except her, no one would dare to do this.
And Xiao Ting has no feelings for him at all.
Unexpectedly, he, the majestic Ninth Prince, would one day have extravagant hopes for affection, and the object is still so 'unusual', his princess.
Xiao Ting didn't care what he was thinking, she waited impatiently for the delicious food, but before the meal was in her mouth, she listened to the housekeeper asking for instructions, and her father came.
When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Ting, he almost cried, "Daughter, it's good that you're fine, I scared Daddy to death."
Xiao Ting patted her father's arm angrily, and comforted her, "Father, you cried to the wrong person. It's my aunt who has something to do, not me."
"Your aunt, isn't your aunt all right?"
Xiao Ting asked back, did something happen in the palace after he left the palace
Xiao Ting blinked and said: "It's okay, I mean, your daughter is fine, why are you crying, I'm not dead."
Xiao Zhan stared, "I'm not dead now, but if it wasn't for the Ninth Prince, you would have died a long time ago, let me tell you."
"Father, why are you talking to outsiders? I'm your daughter, okay?" Xiao Ting was dissatisfied, and the two stood in the yard and started a debate.
"It's because you are my daughter that I want to tell you that I will hold the Ninth Prince's arm tightly in the future, you know? Father will not be able to protect you in the future." Although the members of the Xiao clan were released, Xiao Zhan was stripped of his official position, and now he is just a commoner.
"That's called hugging thighs, okay?" Xiao Ting corrected her father's words.
The Ninth Prince, who is still an invisible person in the house, said, when did the father and daughter know to avoid talking to others
Shouldn't this be said in private
Still hugging him tightly, Miss Xiao Liu, do you know what it means to hug him tightly
Sure enough, Xiao Ting despised his father again.
"Father, are you old-fashioned? The Ninth Prince didn't save me. He was just watching the fun, okay? You don't even know. In the hall, when my aunt was being bullied by those old women, I was tapped by that kind-hearted Ninth Prince. Do you know? I can't even move, and I can't even say a word for my aunt. You want to say hello to him?"
"I think you have a problem with your eyes. You're still young, and you've started to get old and dizzy."
"What? He tapped your acupoints, then, he is really not a good person. It is my father who made a mistake."
Xiao Zhan said that those who bully her daughter are not good people.
Regarding Xiao Zhan's lack of position at all, Xiao Ting, who is also very unscrupulous, said that she especially looked down on him.
"Father, can you be a little more reliable?"
It was the first time Xiao Zhan glared at her daughter. He was about to say something, but then he thought that the same thing happened. He is quite unreliable, and many people have said so.
"Then daughter, did the Ninth Prince say that he wants to make peace with you?"
Only then did Xiao Zhan remember the purpose of this trip.
Xiao Ting blinked her big eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "When did I say I wanted to break up with him?"
"Besides, will he do it? How could he be willing to give me such a large amount of property?" He Li, he will have to pay the price.
"Then in the main hall, the Empress Dowager personally said that your marriage was annulled."
Xiao Ting held his hand and dragged him into the room, the two ignored the talking protagonist who was sitting there firmly.
"You really believe what the old woman said. Besides, it's just like what the prince said. The marriage between the two of us is up to her to decide. She is similar to you, with dim eyesight, how can she see people clearly."
Being scolded and despised by his daughter, Xiao Zhan was not at all unhappy. In his opinion, the Ninth Prince was just a big tree, and it would be best if he could lean on it tightly.
And now the more he looks at the relationship between the two, the more unusual it becomes.
Just talk to the Ninth Prince for Xiao Ting.
The former Ninth Prince didn't care about anything, and he hardly said a word for anyone in the court, including the former Ninth Concubine's natal family, An Guogong's Mansion.
Now, for Xiao Ting, he confronted the Empress Dowager face to face in front of everyone.
Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Ting carefully, but found that her daughter was not enlightened at all.
The content of the conversation between the two, the Ninth Prince had to listen to it even if he didn't want to, but there was something wrong no matter what he heard. When did the two father and daughter know how to avoid suspicion
Could it be that he, a living person, really has no sense of existence
So he coughed twice to show his presence, and he didn't know what words would come out of their mouths after listening to it.
Instantly attracted two pairs of piercing eyes.
"What are you coughing? Are you sick?"
Xiao Ting's brain circuit is never on the same line as the Ninth Prince.
Xiao Zhan heard something strange, and was just about to say hello to the Ninth Prince.
At this time, there was a quarrel outside, which was very noisy.
Xiao Ting leaned over the window to take a look, and saw several girls from the Xiao family outside.
"Father, why did you bring them here?"
