Not long after, the queen roughly knew the emperor's news and brought people here. Xu Qingmo, Xu Yanquan and the others hid in a corner again.
"When did you join the army?" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong beside him and asked in a low voice.
"On the days when your elder brother and the others set out, I caught up with the team and joined the army!" Meng Hetong glanced at Xu Qingmo and couldn't help but laugh, "Why, do you suddenly think I'm brave?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "I was just thinking, aren't you a waste? How can you still be a soldier? There are no conditions for being a soldier now?"
Meng Hetong's eyes were a little helpless: "You said you are a good little girl, why do you have a mouth?"
"Who says it's not the case? I'm a good person, but I have a shameless face!" Xu Qingmo snorted, really not suffering at all.
Xu Yanquan looked at the two bickering people and felt a little strange. He really couldn't understand when the two people became so familiar and could bicker without anyone else in their eyes.
Just as the two people were getting more noisy and lively, Xu Yanquan looked at the emperor who suddenly walked over, raised his hand, and slapped one of them violently: "Quiet!"
No matter how flexible they were, they couldn't withstand such a serious blow. The two people immediately shut up and stood aside obediently, not daring to say anything anymore.
The emperor saw the behavior of the three children from a distance and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice. The queen was a little surprised and asked quietly: "What did your majesty see? You are smiling so happily?"
"That girl from the Xu family is so noisy that she acts like a kid!" The emperor smiled and said softly, "Ying'er is much more dignified than her!"
The queen paused, then smiled and said: "Ying'er is a princess, so she should be dignified!"
"That's when she's with the outside world. When there are no outsiders in the palace, she should act like a child and be noisy!" The emperor glanced down at the queen, and then said, "Our Ying'er, you are so well-behaved. Although she is more dignified than the girls from the Xu family, she is not as happy as others!"
The queen was a little stunned. She turned back to look at Princess Zhengyang who was following her. She stood up straight, and even the smile on her face was just right. She was beautiful and dignified, but lacked a bit of vitality.
The queen did not speak, but looked at Xu Qingmo who was standing not far away, feeling a little sad for no reason.
The emperor suddenly took the queen's hand: "Princess is an identity, but also a bond. On weekdays, you are my queen, but in private, you are also my wife, and so is Ying'er. On weekdays, you are the princess of our court, but in private Here, she is also my daughter!"
The queen's eyes turned slightly red, and then she smiled: "I know, I know!"
While he was talking, the emperor had already walked up to Xu Yanquan. Everyone present knew the purpose of today's so-called flower appreciation feast.
So when the emperor and the empress walked up to Xu Yanquan in front of so many people, everyone felt that Xu Yanquan's marriage was about to be finalized.
But no one expected that the emperor said nothing about this matter. Instead, he looked at Meng Hetong and asked with a smile: "There are so many girls in the palace today, which one do you like?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone present, whether they were the princess or the daughter of a noble family, turned pale with fright.
You know, Meng Hetong has been in as much trouble as he has been in the past few years. He has indulged in alcohol and sex every day, and has been in and out of the flower house for many years. According to rumors, he has no one knows how many confidantes he has.
Although Meng Hetong had a title, he had no merit, and the Yongchang Marquis Mansion was so thin that it was about to lose.
If you marry him, how can you have a good life in the rest of your life?
Meng Hetong looked around, and finally laid his eyes on Xu Qingmo's face: "I think the girls from the Xu family are pretty good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qingmo punched Meng Hetong directly in the stomach. He was hit so hard that he fell out. If the guard hadn't caught him quickly with his quick eyesight, he would have been lying in the lake not far away.
The emperor looked at the scene happening in front of him and was startled. Then he laughed: "Boy from the Meng family, look at you. You can't even catch this girl's move. You still want to marry someone else. What are you thinking about?" ?”
Not to mention Meng Hetong, even Xu Yanquan did not expect that Xu Qingmo would come here. He quickly pulled his sister to apologize: "Your Majesty, my sister is ignorant..."
"Your sister's temperament is more like your father's than yours!" The emperor said with a smile, and then looked at Xu Qingmo, "When you take action, aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"
"If he punishes me, I will also beat him!" Xu Qingmo looked at the emperor, with no fear in his eyes, bright and clear, "He has made it clear that he is trying to make fun of me. You can't just let him talk nonsense just because he is on good terms with my eldest brother. !”
The emperor paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Meng Hetong, you have kicked the iron plate!"
Xu Qingmo really used all the strength in his body, so Meng Hetong also grimaced in pain. He clutched his stomach and didn't recover for a long time: "You girl, it's true that you hit so hard." Do you want my life?”
Xu Qingmo hummed: "If you are beaten to death by me like this, you deserve it!"
"Hey, you black-hearted woman!" Meng Hetong was furious.
"Bah, you weakling!" Xu Qingmo made a face at Meng Hetong.
The two of them were going back and forth, and in the end they were so angry that they wanted to beat each other up, and then they were grabbed by Xu Yanquan.
The people standing aside laughed, and then they were glared at by Xu Qingmo and Meng Hetong.
In the end, He Wenlin came out and one of them cursed before the two of them calmed down.
During this period, Xu Qingmo read and wrote every day, and his temper seemed much docile than before. For some reason, he suddenly got into a fight with Meng Hetong in the palace today.
This was a bit surprising to the Xu family, but for some reason, it was not unexpected. After all, Xu Qingmo's temperament was always like this, he was used to being free and easy, while Meng Hetong, besides being mean-mouthed, was more likely to be beaten.
It would be even more strange if the two people got involved together and didn't start fighting.
When leaving the palace, Xu Yanquan and He Wenlin each carried one child, and the two of them grabbed them out of the palace as if they were carrying children.
Xu Qingmo was pouting in anger until he got on the carriage. It was not until Xu Yanquan went out that Xu Qingmo's eyes suddenly calmed down and became deep, not at all as innocent and clear as before.
