At noon on New Year's Eve, I received news from Fengqing Pavilion.
Gu Muyun and his party arrived at Jinnan City safely.
Everyone felt relieved and sat together in Hanzhu Pavilion and chatted about home affairs.
Xiao Muting handed the peeled orange petals to the lips of Su Han, who was sitting on the couch and playing happily with Princess Guiqi's two children. Seeing her swallowing it naturally, she raised her eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction.
When Princess Guiqi saw it, she pursed her lips and snickered, and said to Ling Zinan, who was also smiling, "Old ancestor, if the little imperial aunt has a child in the future, she will definitely be a very good mother."
Ling Zinan nodded: "I should be able to."
"But the little emperor's uncle is not willing to suffer like the little emperor's aunt. Maybe it's because the thrill of my birth scared him. He insists on letting the little emperor's aunt get older before having a child. But they all like it.
For children." Princess Guiqi smiled again.
"Are you scared by your delivery?" Ling Zinan looked at her doubtfully.
Princess Guiqi explained to her the thrilling scene of giving birth in the capital and said: "At that time, I saw that the little imperial aunt was very calm, but later I learned that she was extremely nervous and scared at the time.
Yes, the little emperor's uncle made it clear at that time that he would not let the little emperor's aunt experience such a thrill. He would rather delay having a child or not have a child than let the little emperor's aunt suffer this pain. He also said to the outside world that he did not want a child and was afraid of the child.
Stealing the little emperor's favor from him."
"My Han'er is really lucky to have found a husband who loves her so much." Ling Zinan was also moved by Xiao Muting's attitude.
At this time, Su Han suddenly raised his head and asked Xiao Muting: "By the way, that guy Yanli will take Xia Qing to the Baoqing County Prince's Mansion on the third day of the Lunar New Year. I heard from Lan Yang that the Baoqing County Prince's Uncle has given the order.
, everyone in the family has to go back home, it’s so grand, it won’t scare my Xia Qing, right?”
"How could it be possible? How dare Xia Qing be scared?" Xiao Muting said with a smile, and then handed a piece of orange to her lips.
Su Han turned away and glared at him again: "Why not, this is completely different from other things, okay, this is an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law, and she is meeting her grandmother and father-in-law, how can this be the same?
Well, plus people from a big family, isn’t this just like watching a monkey? It would be strange not to be afraid.”
Xiao Muting still didn't quite understand and said: "What's so scary."
"Uncle Xiao Huang, what Aunt Xiao Huang said is right. It's impossible not to be afraid. No matter how brave a woman is, she will be timid when encountering such a situation. Moreover, Miss Xia Qing has a bit of inferiority complex because of her status. My uncle is too good at this.
You should show off your power, if you really scare people away, it will be very painful for you." Princess Guiqi immediately helped.
"Is it so serious?" Xiao Muting frowned again. This was completely something he had not expected and could not understand.
Si Xiujie smiled and said, "It's really so serious. The main reason is Miss Xia Qing's family background. Although she was originally the daughter of a fifth-rank general, her father died of a crime, and the Xia family fell into decline."
Now, her status is no different from that of a commoner, and Prince Baoqing is a relative of the emperor. Even if the banquet does not mention that he is the grandson of Prince Baoqing, let’s just talk about the emperor’s uncle. He is also the son of the prefect, and he is still a fourth child.
A good general, no matter how you look at it, Miss Xia Qing's status is low, so I don't blame her for not having confidence. If so many people watch and interrogate her with all kinds of talk, I'd be surprised if she doesn't scare them away."
Su Han immediately took Xiao Muting's arm and shook it lightly: "I don't care, if I scare Xia Qing, I will definitely not spare Xiao Yanli. When the time comes, I will definitely ask for an explanation, just
Can't it be simpler? What are you doing?"
Xiao Muting was also helpless. This was his uncle's family matter anyway, and it would not be good for him to interfere too much.
Ling Zinan said at this time: "It's really difficult for Miss Xia to talk about this. She used to be a well-known lady, but something happened in her family and she is now like this. Moreover, she is an independent and confident girl. Han'er,
Isn't she your right-hand assistant? Doesn't she have an official position in your place?"
"Yes, but it is not as good as Xiao Yanli. He is just a deputy captain, that is, a sixth-grade guard. There is a big difference in level." Su Han replied with a pout.
Si Xiujie smiled and said: "Look at how difficult it is for you, isn't this matter easy to handle? Miss Xia's father and brother are no longer alive, but Xia Guochang's case itself is an unjust case, and she can be regarded as a loyal and good woman.
It's enough to find a decent supporter for her to be her relatives, so that she can raise her status and no one will say that she is of low status anymore."
"This is a good idea, Your Highness. Why don't you accept him as your adopted sister? This kind of support is great." Su Han immediately looked at Xiao Muting for help.
He smiled first, then shook his head: "That's not okay."
"Why?" Su Han asked anxiously.
Xiao Muting gently hugged her shoulders and said: "Are you confused? If the king recognizes her as his adopted sister, this will be bad in terms of seniority. Yanli wants to marry his aunt, how unbecoming it is.
"
"Oh...yeah, I'm so inferior..." Su Han wrinkled his face and became embarrassed again.
"Why don't I do it? I've seen Miss Xia's grace and admire it very much. What do you think, princess?" Si Xiujie asked Princess Guiqi for her opinion.
Princess Guiqi frowned slightly and said, "The adopted sister of Marquis Dingguo, this identity is indeed useful enough. I don't think she will be looked down upon by others. Now, that's it. Why don't we just call her here?"
, we will handle this matter today. Fortunately, we have our ancestors, uncles and aunts as witnesses, so it is okay to be more solemn."
Su Han clapped his hands lightly, smiled and raised his head to Yunlan, and she turned around and ran out of the pavilion.
Ling Zinan laughed out loud: "With the support of people like you, it's hard not to be noble. Let's see who dares to look down on her this time."
"Grandma, don't say that. You are really blind. The princess and I met yesterday, right?" Su Han leaned on Xiao Muting's arms and curled his lips.
Princess Guiqi also nodded: "Yes, it's really embarrassing. Who in Baifeng City doesn't know that the ancient miracle doctor is the senior brother of Princess Chen, but there are people who rush up."
"Didn't you also say that they came here because of the relationship between senior brother and me? Otherwise, they wouldn't have made senior brother so angry." Su Han said again.
"Are you talking about Chen Zexiang's daughter?" Xiao Muting asked.
"That's her. When I took my senior brother back to my home yesterday, the maid she sent insisted on delivering something to the hall. If she didn't accept it, she said that my senior brother didn't know how to praise me. She also said that her young lady fell in love with my senior brother. He was a cultivator in his previous life.
Bah, what a blessing! Her young lady can allow my senior brother to treat her. This is the blessing she received in her previous life. It’s so shameless. Those little thoughts are clearly written on the door of her head, just for fear of others seeing them.
It's different, I don't know how to write the word "reserved" at all, it's disgusting." Su Han said angrily.
"Pfft... the little royal aunt is so subtle!" Princess Guiqi gave her a thumbs up.
She also wanted to speak, but it was not as direct as what Su Han said, and it sounded satisfying.
Si Xiujie answered without fear of a big deal: "Oh, someone is trying to trick the emperor's uncle again. Is it because he thinks he has a long life?"
"I guess I have lived enough." Xiao Muting said with a cold smile.
