After Minghua was thrown out again, she returned to the Prince's Mansion with her servants and told her mother what had happened in Mozhong Tower in an exaggerated manner.
"Don't be angry tomorrow, don't get yourself hurt." Princess Duanmu Ying of the Northern King sat on the toffee chair, blowing the tea beside her lips with a gentle expression, "Don't forget that you are a princess, the legitimate daughter of the Northern King, and your every word and action represents the upbringing of the Northern King's Mansion. No matter what happens, you must stay calm, be dignified as a legitimate daughter, and don't lose your composure and give others a chance to talk about you." After saying that, she took a sip of tea and placed the printed teacup on the couch beside her. She slowly raised her head, and her shrewd eyes fell on her daughter in front of her.
"Mother, they are too much. You don't even know how hateful Mo Yan is. Not only did he insult my daughter, he also ordered someone to beat me up. My daughter... She has never been wronged like this since she was little..."
Minghua pouted as he spoke, took a few steps forward, grabbed Duanmu Ying's arm, and shook it gently, acting coquettishly.
"Mother, now that father is not around, you are the one who makes the decisions on all the important matters in the palace. You must make the decision for your daughter, mother, mother... You have always loved Ming'er the most, mother~"
Duanmu Ying looked at her daughter who was acting coquettishly in front of her, shook her head helplessly, signaled the maid to come forward and take away the tea, and then sat up straight.
"Ming'er, you have to know that things are different now. In the past, you were willful and reckless, and your mother could turn a blind eye to you. Over the years, for your reputation as Princess Minghua, how much your mother has done secretly, you should know it yourself. But now, the Demon Lord is back. We have to be cautious with every step we take, especially you. There are so many people watching the position around the Demon Lord. Have you heard any news about the one from the Nanwang family and the one from the Guojunwang family recently?"
"I know. Nan Xin's grandmother is ill, and she is taking care of her at home every day. As for Song Yinyin, it seems that she followed her father to visit a famous teacher."
Nan Xin is the second daughter of King Nan and his most beloved daughter. As for Song Yinyin, she is the younger sister of Prince Guo. Both of them have similar status to her in the Demon City and are of marriageable age. They are potential rivals for her to become the Demon Queen.
"What about serving grandma and visiting famous teachers? It's just one person pretending to be filial and the other pretending to be elegant. The purpose is to show it to the Demon Lord and the world. You, you have to learn all these tricks between women." The fights in the backyard are often not much more merciful than those on the battlefield. Minghua has been with her since he was a child, but in terms of tactics and scheming, he is still a little lacking.
"Mother, these people know about this, but can we just let today's incident go? Besides, my daughter went to order the Magic Pet Feast to please the Demon Lord."
"My daughter Duanmu Ying, of course, cannot be bullied in vain. But this matter cannot be handled by you, nor by the palace. Don't worry, mother will help you vent your anger." Many people saw what happened today. If something really happened to the Demon Chonglou in the future, the first thing people would think of would be the Northern Palace. So this matter cannot be rushed, and the Northern Palace cannot intervene. It needs to be carefully planned and acted upon.
"Now that your father is far away in the northwest, we women are the only ones left in the palace. We must not create any trouble. Ming'er, you must know that you are the only hope of your mother and the palace." Duanmu Ying reached out, took Minghua's arm, and said earnestly.
The Northern King had made great military achievements and was well-known in the Demon City, but there was no one to carry on his legacy. In the entire Northern King's mansion, there were two concubines, five concubines, and the eight wives of Princess Duanmu Ying, but none of them gave birth to a child who could continue the family line.
The Northern King's children were all girls, and the most favored one among them was Minghua, born to the Queen.
In addition, Minghua was once chosen by the old master as the future Demon Queen, so everyone in the mansion doted on Minghua like a treasure. They held her in their hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in their mouths for fear of melting her. They were counting on Minghua to become the master of the Demon Palace in the future and bring supreme glory to their Bei family.
"Mother, Ming'er understands. Don't worry, Ming'er will definitely become the Demon Queen." Minghua held Duanmu Ying's hand with his backhand and said with a firm face.
Becoming the Demon Queen is not only the hope of everyone in the Bei family, but also her own dream since childhood.
The Demon Lord is the strongest man in the entire Demon City. Which woman would not want such a husband
As for those two bitches Nan Xin and Song Yinyin, how could they compete with her? She was the candidate for the Demon Queen chosen by the old master since she was a child, how could they compare with her.
"The Demon Lord has a very cold personality and is not easy to approach. You don't need to be too deliberate, or you will annoy him. The Demon Lord is a filial person and will listen to the words of the Old Lord. So, instead of trying to please the Demon Lord, you might as well focus on the Old Lord. The Old Lord is kind-hearted and loves food. He is easier to please than the Demon Lord."
"And mother heard from your father that the old lord was seriously injured in a surprise attack by the enemy during a war, so he has been recuperating in the Demon Palace in recent years and has not left the house. The old lord is straightforward and loves to move and play. He must be bored after staying in the Demon Palace for so many years. If you have the chance, go and contact the old lord and bring him some delicious and fun things. I believe it won't take long before he will like you from the bottom of his heart. As long as you can deal with the old lord, the Demon Lord will be halfway successful."
Minghua nodded as he listened, thinking that what his mother said made sense.
"When doing things, you need to use your brain more, learn to use the power of others to your advantage, and cater to their preferences. If one way is blocked, think of another one, and if that doesn't work, build one yourself. Remember, the process is not important, as long as the result is what you want. As for the process, it is all written by the winner."
"The Demon Lord is a very smart person. No matter what you do, don't do it too deliberately, otherwise it will cause the opposite effect. Ming'er, you are a smart child, you should know what to do."
"Mother, Ming'er understands."
The big hand patted the back of Minghua's hand and nodded gently.
"As for today's matter, don't worry about it. Mother will help you solve it."
"Well, I'll thank my mother tomorrow."
"The Spiritual Master Competition is coming up soon. Your father should be back soon. When the time comes, ask him to talk to the Demon Lord about your marriage..."
"Mother... Ming'er is still young, there's no rush. Ming'er still wants to stay by your side and serve you for two more years." Minghua's face turned red when she heard the word "marriage". After all, she was an unmarried girl and was still very shy about this topic.
Her face was flushed and her posture was awkward, just like a little girl.
Duanmu Ying was amused by her and joked: "Is Ming'er shy? Since Ming'er has this intention, let's wait a few more years. It just so happens that mother can't bear to part with my Ming'er."
"No." Minghua was anxious and blurted out two words subconsciously.
"What's not possible? What's not possible? You should explain it clearly tomorrow. Otherwise, how can your mother understand?" Duanmu Ying said with a smile.
Minghua pouted, pushed Duanmu Ying's hand away, turned his body to the side, and acted very angry.
"Mother is so annoying. You actually made fun of me like this. I won't pay attention to you tomorrow, hum!"
"Hahaha... "
"Grandson, take whatever you like. Grandpa will buy it for you." In the largest treasure house in Magic City, Yao Lao followed Xia Junyu happily and said confidently.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
This Baibao Building was opened by a foreign businessman, and it was also the base for the trade between the Magic City and other forces. It was a mixed bag, with all kinds of goods.
No matter it is from the south or the north, from the Magic City or the Fairyland, as long as it is something in this world, this Treasure House basically includes it.
As long as you offer the right price, you can get whatever you want.
Xia Junyu looked around and finally his eyes stopped on a mechanical bird.
Just as he was about to reach out to take it, someone else got there first.
"My Lady, what do you think of this? This is a mechanical bird made by Lu Ban himself. It can not only change its shape, but also fly in the sky by itself. It is a very interesting thing."
This person was none other than the servant of Princess Minghua whom he met in Mozhong Tower before.
After leaving Duanmu Ying's courtyard, Minghua took the maids and servants out shopping, intending to buy some rare gadgets to please the old master.
Unexpectedly, this happened again.
Xia Junyu frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
"I'm telling you, do you have eyes? Didn't you see that it was my eldest grandson who fell in love with it first? You're such a grown man, but you're still playing with a child's things. How shameless."
As he was speaking, the mechanical bird that was originally in the servant's hand had returned to Yao Lao's hand.
"Grandson, do you like this?" He handed it to Xia Junyu and asked with a smile.
Xia Junyu nodded, and just as he was about to reach out to take it, the servant came over again.
"Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? How dare you steal our princess's things? Do you want to die?"
"Why do I feel that this old man and the child look familiar?"
"Oh, it's you, the country bumpkins at the entrance of Mo Zhonglou."
Now the servant finally remembered. No wonder he always felt that these two people looked familiar.
It would have been fine if I didn’t mention Mo Chonglou, but once I did, a lot of unpleasant memories came back.
Minghua originally wanted to give up in order to maintain her usual socialite image, but after hearing this, she instantly changed her mind.
"Bring the things to this princess."
"Yes, my lady."
"Why do you take it? It was obviously my grandson who saw it first." Yao Lao did not give in at all, because the things displayed in this area were all unique. If they took it away, Xia Junyu would not be able to buy it. This was the first time he took his precious grandson shopping, and he couldn't let these sudden people spoil the fun.
Yao Lao dodged and the mechanical bird that was originally in the servant's hand immediately fell into Xia Junyu's arms.
Xia Junyu was very calm. He had seen this grandfather's abilities, so taking something was no big deal for him.
"How dare you, you rude people, to openly rob the princess of her things. Are you tired of living?"
This action angered Minghua even more. It was bad enough that she was bullied by Mo Yan in Mo Zhonglou, but she didn't expect that when she came out for a stroll, even an old man didn't take her seriously.
How unlucky had she been these days to have to encounter such bad things
"Come here, arrest these two unruly people who have offended this princess and put them in the water dungeon!"
A team of guards walked towards Yao Lao and Xia Junyu. Upon seeing this, Yao Lao calmly took out the spirit stones needed to buy the mechanical bird, threw them onto the checkout counter, and disappeared with Xia Junyu.
I could only vaguely hear someone in the air, "I'll give you the spirit stone, and I'll take the old mechanical bird away."
... ...
By the time the guards rushed over, the two men had already disappeared.
"My Lord, this..."
Minghua clenched his fists, his pupils shrank slightly, and he gritted his teeth.
"Search for me. I'll find the person alive or dead! No matter if they are dead or alive, as long as you bring these two people to this princess, you will be promoted three levels and rewarded handsomely!"
"yes."
"Hahaha, grandson, did you see how angry that woman was? Hahaha, it's really funny."
"... ... "
Compared to the three-year-old child in front of him, he seemed more like a child.
He is active and playful, and has some bad tastes that only children have.
Maybe Xia Junyu's sense of humor was too high, he really couldn't see what was so funny.
"Grandson, let me tell you, it's not that I can't beat them, I just want to piss her off." Suddenly thinking of something, Yao Lao immediately turned around and spoke, wanting to explain to Xia Junyu.
"Grandpa, I know." Xia Junyu didn't say anything else, just nodded. His eyes were sparkling and full of innocence.
Facing Xia Junyu's sincere eyes, Yao Lao's expression was a little evasive, as if he felt guilty after lying.
