Baili Qi stared at the subordinates in front of him with a gloomy expression, "Follow my instructions."
The subordinate didn't even dare to raise his head and said "Yes." He immediately stepped back.
After Master Jiuqi was executed, the prince's temper became a little irritable. As the second secret guard, he became the prince's personal bodyguard and felt his whole body trembling.
damn it--
Baili Qi suddenly cursed, why did the Imperial Master appear at that moment?
This national master has not shown up for many years, and when he comes out, he will be troubled.
"Your Majesty, it's not good."
Another guard came in and said, Baili Qi looked over with a cold look.
"explain!"
The guard stood up and whispered something in his ear, and Baili Qi became furious.
"Damn it!"
"Get out!" Baili Qi waved his sleeves with a gloomy face. His father actually agreed and the prince had already started discussing the wedding date!
No, Baili Qi felt panicked at the thought of losing his wife and losing his troops.
He put his hands on the table with a gloomy expression. Bailiyou would never get the person he couldn't get! Mu Qingyan would be destroyed even if he couldn't get it.
It seems that other forces can only be used.
Father, if you are so partial, don’t blame your sons and ministers for being unfilial!
…
The Dragon Boat Festival was getting closer and closer, and Jiang Xingge was right. On the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor indeed summoned Mu Nanping and Shangguan Rou into the palace.
Mu Qingyan was going to the old prince's courtyard to pay her respects. When she saw her, the old prince's face was full of smiles and he quickly had tea and snacks served.
"Grandpa, I just had breakfast and I can't eat anymore." The Mu family's rules are not as rigid as other families. You have to ask for permission before you can eat. It's not impossible to come back after eating, and there is no time limit.
.
The old prince has been a general for most of his life. He has the open-mindedness of a military general and saves money on red tape. Besides, they are all members of his own family, so harmony is the most important. The greetings are just a formality.
"Leave it alone, eat it when you're hungry, why should you be so reserved like grandpa?"
The old prince loved Mu Qingyan to the core and made all exceptions for her.
Mu Qingyan chuckled lightly, took the fragrant tea from Fenxiang and sipped it. The old prince set up the chessboard and asked, "Did you know that both Nanping and Xiaorou have entered the palace?"
Mu Qingyan paused slightly, put down the tea cup, nodded and replied softly: "I know."
The old prince nodded and added: "It would be better if we get married earlier, so grandpa can feel more at ease. The prince is very kind to you and cares about you, and grandpa can see it."
Although Yan'er has the backing of the Mu family, it's great to have the crown prince protecting her. At least the Holy Emperor can't touch her. Even if something happens to the Prime Minister's Palace one day, Yan'er still has someone to back her up.
"Grandpa..." Mu Qingyan couldn't understand the meaning behind his words, and her nose immediately became sour.
Suddenly, the old prince took her hand and held it gently, and said with sincerity: "Grandpa is getting old, and he will leave you one day. You must remember that when you go to the palace in the future, don't trust anyone else easily except the prince."
Yan'er's identity is destined to not be smooth sailing for her, she just hopes Bailiyou won't let him down.
"Grandpa" Mu Qingyan would rather he didn't say such things. In fact, grandpa knew it very well.
Just as she was about to open her mouth and want to say something else, she heard the old prince say, "Okay, don't mention these, let's play chess."
It seemed that he didn't give her a chance to continue.
Mu Qingyan could only swallow the rest of her words, raised her eyes and looked at the old prince's face quietly, thinking that she must not disappoint her grandfather.
After a while, she paused and said softly: "Grandpa, what are your plans for my brother's marriage?"
Her brother is also twenty-two this year, and she is also anxious. What will Sister Rou do if this delay continues?
If Sister Rou is sent to get married, won't the two of them have to miss each other for the rest of their lives?
Old Prince Mu Xuan's expression changed when he mentioned it, and he snorted coldly, "Who cares about him, he will go to whomever he likes."
The person he fell in love with was the third princess. It would have been fine if it had been someone else, but it happened to be a princess. It was strange that the Holy One would agree.
According to him, the marriage between these two people may only continue in the next life.
Mu Qingyan raised her lips and smiled, "Grandpa knows, right, who is the person in my brother's heart?"
"I'm old but not stupid. Every time the Third Princess comes back to the palace, it's just to see me, a bad old man. But your brother is so unsatisfied that he doesn't know who he is following."
Although his body is not as good as before due to injuries sustained in his early years, his mind is still flexible.
The third princess condescended to come over, but Xuan'er had a cold face, which sometimes made him angry.
Sure enough, grandpa knew about it, so dad and mom should have noticed it, Mu Qingyan thought to herself.
She didn't want these two people to miss another life, and it was uncertain whether there would be an afterlife.
"Does grandpa mind?" Mu Qingyan asked. She didn't specify but grandpa would definitely understand what she meant.
The old prince sighed, "This child is also stubborn and stubborn. Other people's children and crowns are already married. How can I not be impatient? What if I go there one day?
I can’t see you getting married anymore.”
Mu Qingyan frowned and immediately retorted: "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about? Grandpa will always be strong and strong, and he will definitely live a long life. Besides, grandpa is not old now. I think even Prince Gong is not as good as you."
What she said was true. Although Prince Gong was a little older than his father, he was still in his prime, but his energy was not good.
The old prince glared at her, but this look was not harmful at all to Mu Qingyan.
"You have a sweet mouth, but food can't stop your mouth." Even though he said this, the old prince's face was full of smiles. When people get old, they are most afraid of loneliness, and he is no exception.
His wife passed away early due to illness, leaving him alone as an old man. The children are already so old, and there is no need to renew their relationship. Fortunately, the children often come to accompany him.
I don’t mind him talking too much either.
The two grandsons would look at him every time they came to the palace and sit with him for a while.
Yan'er has come more often since Ji Ji. She used to see dissatisfaction in his eyes and wished she could stay away from him.
This is his favorite granddaughter. He would be lying if he said he was not angry, but what can be done?
The old prince even thought that Yan'er would treat him like this in the future. Unexpectedly, he did not expect that he would become a lot more sensible as he grew up.
Now Yan'er is very affectionate when she sees him, and even holds his hand and acts coquettishly. In the past, she could only do this when she was a child.
Mu Qingyan was fed a mouthful of snacks and felt very happy when she saw the old prince's smile.
The most rare thing is for her family to be happy and happy. This time she will never neglect her relatives again.
Fenxiang behind her covered her mouth and snickered. The old prince's temper was not something ordinary people could bear, but he loved the young lady very much.
