Yan Yuan raised his hand to take off the disguise mask, and Chongming breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Zhaobai froze again, his tone a little uncertain: "Father...Father?"
"Yeah." Yan Yuan responded.
Yan Zhaobai looked at Mingruo again and asked with his eyes - what is going on?
Mingruo replied with two words: Change Dad.
Yan Zhaobai seemed to have been hit with a sap, his head buzzed, and he was so confused.
"You guys chat slowly, I'm going back to the house." Mingruo felt that Fifth Brother and Cheap Dad should have a chat alone.
"Go quickly, it will be dawn if you don't sleep." Yan Yuan motioned to Mingruo to rest early.
Yan Zhaobai looked at his 'father' in front of him. Such words and deeds gradually overlapped with the memories of his childhood - when he was reading at night by candlelight, his father would also say when he saw it: 'Go to sleep, it will be dawn if you don't sleep.'
…
Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand and walked back to the courtyard where they lived.
"That 'Traveling Array' should be quite powerful, right?" Mingruo asked.
"Don't worry, your husband will never lose." Si Haochen flicked Mingruo's forehead, "Don't believe me?"
"Of course I'm not worried if you bring the Northwest Army into the war. But I'm afraid you won't be used to it if you're not my own soldier."
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded, "I will take the time to watch them practice. It's just a military exercise. As long as they follow the orders and prohibitions, there will be no big problem." #@$&
"Thanks."
"Huh?" Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's pointed chin, "Do you need to be so polite to your husband?"
"It's supposed to be 'mother's debt is daughter's debt'." Ming Ruo made a face at Si Haochen.
"You have to bear everything by yourself, why do you need me as a husband?" Si Haochen's thin lips touched the bright rose-colored lips.
"My husband is responsible for being as beautiful as a flower." Mingruo threw herself on the soft pillow on the high bed and fell asleep quickly.%&(&
Si Haochen lay down next to the little girl, reached out and tucked the hair on her cheek behind her ear.
Early the next morning, Zisu, Zicao and Jiyue were busy around Mingruo. They took a bath, changed clothes, tied their hair, put on makeup... They worked for an hour, wearing ice silk brocade palace clothes and hair tied.
Princess Yunqin, who was wearing a phoenix bun and a beaded head, made a grand appearance. She was supported by His Highness Prince Yun as she boarded the palace carriage.
The news that Prince Dong Huanyun and his concubine had entered the capital had long been presented to Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen did not have a deep impression of this daughter. Unlike the princesses vying for favor in front of him, she had little sense of existence.
Prince Dong Huanyun entered the capital with great fanfare. Even if it was to save face, he had to send people from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to greet him at the city gate.
Mingruo didn't know how Si Haochen managed to gather such a grand ceremony in one day. In short, after they entered the city, the news that the ninth princess who was married to Donghuan came back to visit her relatives spread like wildfire.
Si Haochen led Mingruo into the Political Affairs Hall. Although she was a princess, this was Mingruo's second time here. The first time she walked into the Political Affairs Hall was the original owner, who bid farewell to her father here before getting married.
After some greetings, Ming Ruo was taken to the harem to meet the Queen, while Si Haochen stayed in the Yizheng Hall to chat with Emperor Wen.
Queen Bian just found out not long ago that Su Yuqing, who once doted on the Sixth Palace, died. Moreover, the emperor decreed that no grand burial was allowed. It was said that she was buried on a random hilltop, and even the imperial mausoleum was not allowed to enter.
This news made Empress Bian feel very good. When Ming Ruo came to visit, she was not embarrassed and chatted politely. The empress stayed with Ming Ruo to have a meal in Luanfeng Palace. Ming Ruo said that she was entering the palace with her husband today and it was not good to stay alone.
Have a meal.
"Then I won't force you to stay." The queen was polite, "Your father has already made preparations with the Ministry of Ceremonies, and in a day or two there will be a palace banquet to cleanse you and Prince Yun."
"Thank you very much, father, queen and queen." Mingruo saluted solemnly.
After a while, a young eunuch came to report: Prince Yun is going back to the post house. Please invite the Ninth Princess to go back with him. Mingruo will take the opportunity to leave.
Queen Bian picked up the tea at her hand and took a sip: "These nine princesses are quite different from before."
The old lady beside me also looked thoughtful: "She still looks the same as before, but her conversation and temperament are completely different."
"Isn't that right? In the past, it was like a cat avoiding cats and mice, but now, it has become a cat that can catch mice." Empress Bian stroked the gilded armor again and again.
"I'm afraid the Ninth Princess is coming back for the funeral, so there won't be any changes, right?" the old nanny speculated.
"No one knows where she is buried. She is a daughter of a foreign wife. Can the emperor still make that bitch a queen?"
"It is impossible to pursue a posthumous title, but the imperial mausoleum..."
"As long as you don't pursue the title of queen, what will happen if you enter the imperial mausoleum." Queen Bian's eyes became darker, "It's just that Prince Yun has a lot of power. I'm afraid he will become Lao Wu's help in the future.
It’s not good for Qing’er.”
"No matter how powerful he is, he is still far away in Donghuan. As the saying goes, water from afar cannot quench the thirst that is near." The old woman quickly picked up something pleasant to say.
"Well, as soon as that bitch died, the emperor took control of the military power of Lao Wu's family. A toothless tiger is nothing to be afraid of." The queen leaned on the pillow, "It either crawled out of her own belly or she couldn't feed it.
Familiar, if Mingyu’s little hooves can marry Chen Guogong’s direct grandson, Qing’er will be the crown prince, hmph!”
"My dear, you don't have to worry. Miss Fangfei will have hairpins in October, so we can get married."
"Yes." Queen Bian seemed a little sleepy and closed her eyes slightly.
The old nanny took the gauze and covered it with Queen Bian, then she quietly exited the inner hall.
"Mommy, the fourth princess has brought the princess into the palace again. She doesn't look very good. She probably had a quarrel with the prince-in-law again..." A palace maid came forward to speak.
"The Queen didn't sleep well last night, and she just took a rest." The old nanny sighed, "The fourth princess is here, please invite the princess to the side hall and wait."
On the wide palace road, Mingruo and Si Haochen walked side by side, followed by Zisu, Jiyue, and Xunyi.
It was near noon, when the sun was at its worst. Zi Su held up the umbrella covered with pearls and jade tassels for Mingruo. She came face to face with the fourth princess who brought her daughter into the palace angrily. The little princess was immediately attracted by the gorgeous umbrella.
caught sight.
"Hey, give me that umbrella!" The little girl is used to being domineering because her mother is the legitimate princess.
Zi Su had a calm look on her face, thinking that Nan Rong was also strange. Except for their princess, who was well-educated, sensible and gentle, all the other princesses she had seen were domineering and domineering, and they did not know what Duan Shu was graceful.
The fourth princess only felt that the two people in front of her, the man was handsome and dignified, and the woman was beautiful, but they both looked very handsome, and for a moment she couldn't figure out which one they were.
Mingruo could barely remember who these two people were, so she knelt down and said, "Sister Four Emperors."
Hearing this soft and weak voice, the fourth princess's eyes widened even more: "Are you... Xiaojiu?"
Mingruo nodded awkwardly: "Yes, Sister Four Emperors."
The fourth princess was completely unable to reconcile the beautiful and charming woman in front of her with the doormat who was always hiding behind others.
