"If you want to go, then you can live in the East Palace properly, so that we can feel more at ease." The old prince emphasized that they could protect her for a while, but they could not protect her forever. Sooner or later, Yan'er would be handed over to someone else.
Although Bailiyou is a member of the royal family, he is different from Shengsheng. At least his love for Yan'er is sincere and pure, and he has the ability to protect her.
In this way, they can feel more at ease a hundred years from now.
After talking for a while, the old prince urged Mu Qingyan to return to Liuyan Pavilion, because it was too hard to travel.
Mu Qingyan didn't hesitate and left directly.
When Mu Xuan was about to leave, he was stopped by the old prince, "Xuan'er."
He looked back at the old prince with a respectful attitude and a very respectful tone, "Grandpa."
The old prince calmly took a sip of tea and then spoke slowly, "You are not young anymore. It's time to think about your life's important events. Grandpa still hopes to see you brothers and sisters settle down while he is still alive.
"It would be even better if I could hold my great-grandson.
"Your sister is engaged, and the prince treats her well. I'm not worried about that. As for you, do you have a girl you like?"
Mu Xuan's face was expressionless and his tone was light, "No."
"Look, look, you have given birth to good sons!" The old prince became angry when he saw his cold face. He is not someone who is easily cold-faced. Why did his grandson become like this?
Shangguan Rou was slightly embarrassed, "Father, we can rest assured that Xuan'er is doing something, so don't force him yet."
Mu Nanping originally wanted to say a few words, but when his wife gently pulled him, he could only swallow his words.
Humph, the old prince noticed their little actions and snorted coldly, "When I was your age, we all had families, and even your father was pregnant."
Mu Nanping was still shot while lying down.
Mu Xuan didn't say a word or defend himself. Seeing this scene, the old prince became even more angry and said quietly: "In my opinion, the third princess is gentle and considerate, and she also knows how to be filial. She is good."
Sure enough, when Bailirou was mentioned, the old prince saw his grandson's face change.
After a while, Mu Xuan finally spoke: "Grandpa, do you all know?"
"Hmph, I have eaten more salt than you have walked. How can you hide it from me with your little tricks?" The old prince said with a sense of pride, "The third princess has not returned to the palace. That look in her eyes...
Not for a bad old man like me."
Seeing Mu Xuan's dull look, he became even more angry, "You, you don't have the courage like the third princess. Go back and stay here to be an eyesore."
"Grandson, please retire." After saying this, Mu Xuan turned around and left.
The old prince had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only stare at his son and daughter-in-law in front of him, "Look at the good son you gave birth to."
Shangguan Rou and Mu Nanping looked at each other, "Father, it's not for us to interfere in the children's affairs."
Not only did she not want to see Xuan'er get married, but he fell in love with the third princess. It would be fine if this was an ordinary official family.
"I don't know what happened, but both of them are inseparable from the Baili family." The old prince began to wonder if the feng shui was not good.
"It's all gone, it's all gone"
——
At the palace, Yuko Baili returned to the palace and was summoned by the queen.
"What happened? You ran out in a hurry yesterday." The queen looked concerned. She was also present yesterday and saw her son leaving in a hurry before the banquet was over.
Bailiyou replied: "Go and save Yan'er."
The Queen paused while drinking tea, then put down the teacup, "What's wrong with her? Do you remember that she went out of town?"
Why does he still need his son to save him?
Bailiyou's words were concise and to the point, "I was almost kidnapped. If I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"This happened." The queen frowned, "Is she injured?"
The latter shook his head, "No."
The queen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how much the child cared about the girl. She sighed, "It's also a sin. I have pity on this girl. She has suffered a lot."
What she knew was that Linggu Temple disappeared and was later hunted down by a killer bribed by her aunt. She was stared at every time she went out, which was pitiful.
As a woman, the Queen still sympathized with her, and she didn't want anything to happen to Mu Qingyan, otherwise her son might also go crazy.
"My mother, I want to bring her to live in the East Palace to ensure her safety," Bailiyou said.
This frightened the queen so much that she looked at him in surprise, "Are you discussing with me?" Her son always made his own decisions, and they would not interfere, nor could they interfere.
But now he is actually discussing with her, the queen mother.
Bailiyou nodded, "Please ask the queen to take more care of her." Yan'er must not be used to it when she comes to the palace for the first time, especially facing her father.
I bet my father is not allowed to take this opportunity to inquire about the Prime Minister's palace.
The Queen smiled happily and said, "That's natural. I will naturally take care of her with all my heart."
Bailiyou stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
"You don't have to be so close to me. Since she is the woman you like, I will naturally help you.
But this matter is of great importance, and you still need to get your father's consent." Otherwise, I'm afraid the Holy One will be dissatisfied.
Bailiyou nodded. He would just inform his father at that time. Even if he disagreed, it didn't matter. His decision could not be changed.
The Queen spoke earnestly: "My mother knows that you like Qingyan, but once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea. If you want to protect her for a long time, don't be too partial to her, so as not to arouse jealousy."
She has been the queen for so many years, and she is fully aware of the turmoil in the palace. Fortunately, Mu Qingyan's family is strong enough, and there are national teachers around, so her position is at least stable.
But it's always better to be careful.
Bailiyou pursed his lips and said firmly, "I will not let her be wronged."
The queen looked distrustful. It was impossible. There were three thousand beauties in the harem, and they all had different thoughts. It was impossible for him to stay with Mu Qingyan every day.
"I only have her in my life."
After he finished speaking, the queen's expression was stunned for a moment, and even the nanny next to her was shocked by his words.
Seeing Bailiyou's serious expression, the queen was shocked, and then scolded: "Nonsense."
Bailiyou's face was expressionless, and there was no sign of joking on his face. The queen almost didn't mention it in one breath.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses and said, "That's it, just go with it. If you can do it, it will be the best."
What woman in this world doesn't want to be with her husband for the rest of her life, and even she is no exception, but this is absolutely impossible.
Since ancient times, men have had three wives and four concubines, especially saints.
Bailiyou didn't explain it. He knew that his idea was too weird for others, but he had already determined it in his heart and would not change it.
For Yan'er, I would be willing to be the emperor even if I didn't.
