Xiao Chen is still an imperial envoy. Since he has never seen the emperor, he cannot deliver the mission.
Since he is an imperial envoy, he cannot run around, so he still has to ask the emperor for permission when leaving the palace.
See if he agrees?
Just agree. If not, I will continue to do it in the palace!
When you are free, you just want to be free and play.
First, he went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. Wang Jinzhong went in to complain and came out to say that the Queen Mother was ill, tired and didn't want to see anyone...
This is to be expected. With his current status and situation, it is really inappropriate for the Queen Mother to see him.
But Wang Jinzhong's attitude towards him was surprisingly good. He held his hand and asked about his welfare. He was considerate and extremely affectionate.
"Last night our family heard that your little Eunuch Xiao was ill, and we sent someone to visit him, but your people blocked him... It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you, I'm just worried about you. Look at you today You look good, so I feel relieved, Yan Yun is bitterly cold, and Xiao Xiao, you have also suffered a lot." That's what he said.
It seems that Shi Mingtao made a lot of money for the Queen Mother, and this guy also got a lot of benefits, otherwise he wouldn't be so caring about Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen is now their cash cow, losing money in a flash...
"I'm a little sick, but I worry about my father-in-law. How can I say this?" Xiao Chen took it seriously.
"We don't know what it means yet, but the Queen Mother has said that you, Xiao Xiao, have made great contributions to our great Zhou Dynasty. If anyone wants to secretly do something to you, she will not do it. No!" Wang Jinzhong looked around and whispered to Xiao Chen.
"Alas... I feel really heart-warmed after hearing this! The Queen Mother and her family are wise and kind, and know how to care for others." Xiao Chen expressed that he was very touched.
"That's not true. The person who loves the most in the Queen Mother's heart is you!" Wang Jinzhong said.
"Who hates me and who loves me, little brother, I know it all in my heart." Xiao Chen patted his heart and said, "Let's wait and see in the future!"
"By the way, the Queen Mother also told you to be calm and arrogant. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at you in the dark now. Those guys are jealous and have dark hearts... In short, don't be as flamboyant as when you left. Try to be as low-key as possible... Of course, if anyone dares to bully you, we won't agree to it!" Wang Jinzhong said.
"Received!" Xiao Chen said.
The Queen Mother was collecting money under Xiao Chen's money tree, and Xiao Chen was enjoying the shade under the Queen Mother's big tree. Both parties took advantage of each other and each got what he wanted.
It's a fair deal.
I went to find Li Wanjiang again, and sure enough, he was still missing, but he agreed to Xiao Chen's invitation to go home, and even gave him two tonic prescriptions to express his concern.
Maybe you just wanted to see how Xiao Chen would jump?
When she learned that Xiao Chen had returned to Beijing, Zhang Baiwan had his house cleaned early and sent a dozen servants and maids to serve him. Knowing that he was hospitable, she even thoughtfully hired several chefs for him.
"Oh, the old saying is true. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse!" Xiao Chen felt a little better after returning home.
"Brother, which one is our home? Changshan Prefecture or Fengyang City." Ling'er said.
"It's a shame that you are still a child of the world. Don't you know that the world is our home?" Xiao Chen said casually.
"But I still like to have a home. No matter how long I wander outside, there is always a place I can come back to." Duan Linger said softly.
"I remember Mrs. Ruolan once said something. She said, 'My heart is in my hometown.' Home is where your heart is... But you little girl has no care at all!" Xiao Chen said.
"I don't have a heart, but I have a brother. Wherever you are, brother, that's where your family is." Duan Linger said.
"Me too." Xiao Ye nodded.
"By the way, I have to tell you two something first. You may have a sister-in-law." Xiao Chen meant to teach these two how to be brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
"Who is it?" Duan Linger jumped up as if he was electrocuted, "Liu Ruyun?"
"Don't mention her to me!" Xiao Chen said.
"Murong Danqiu?" Duan Ling'er asked again, but she is the queen, brother, how can you marry her into your family?
"Not her either!" Xiao Chen shook his head, "Let me ask you, Ang, who do you think is the most suitable to be your sister-in-law?"
"I think I'm the most suitable sister-in-law!" Duan Ling'er said with a playful smile, "Marry me, let's kiss!"
"Speak nicely!" Xiao Chen said angrily.
"Let me tell you, brother, these sweethearts of yours are very good. I am happy that you have all married back girls." Duan Linger's little mouth is so sweet, it's really not unworthy of Xiao Chen's love for her!
"But when it comes to the most suitable ones, there are actually two. One is Wu Luolan, and the other is Duanmu Nanqiao." Duan Linger turned serious again.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Xiao Chen was stunned and asked casually, but you answered quite well.
"Because if you marry Uluolan, you will get the entire Xianbo tribe. Then our strength will be greatly enhanced? But Uluolan is too resourceful. If you marry her, brother, you will definitely be beaten in the future. She bullied her! It would be bad if Si Chen, the hen, was killed." Duan Ling'er was analyzing in detail.
"Duanmu Nanqiao is Duanmu Nanfeng's biological sister and the only sister, and Duanmu Nanfeng is very important to us, right? Although he is very loyal to your brother, he is far away in Jiangnan after all... So if you marry Duanmu Nan Qiao, then he will never betray us!" Duan Linger's analysis was clear and logical.
"Oh, you didn't realize why my Ling'er is so smart?" Xiao Chen expressed surprise.
"I've always been so smart!" Duan Linger was very proud.
"Hmph, what are Old Man Chen, Xiaosheng, Bai Qing and the others talking about behind their backs?" Xiao Chen said suddenly.
"They also said that brother, you are just too... Oh, annoying!" Duan Linger grinned.
It turns out that what she just said was what she heard Chen Jisheng, Zhuge Xiaosheng and others say when they were chatting. She wanted to quote it to impress her, but her brother saw it through.
"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking who do you and Xiao Ye like?" Xiao Chen said, "You are my younger brothers and sisters. Of course I have to like you before I marry a wife. If you don't like it, no matter who it is, I am determined not to marry you!"
"Brother, don't you know there is a saying called Love the House and the Crow? As long as you like it, brother, we will all like it." Duan Linger said.
"Are you telling the truth?" Xiao Chen was very pleased that his sister was so sensible.
"It's sincere." Duan Linger kicked Xiao Ye, "Do you think so?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ye actually didn't care.
"Then marry Duanmu Nanqiao first." Xiao Chen said.
"Brother, are you serious?" Duan Linger jumped up again.
"Nonsense, marriage is an important matter, can you joke about it?" Xiao Chen said angrily, after talking for a long time, do you think I am joking with you?
"But Duanmu Nanqiao is the imperial concubine, brother, why do you marry her?" Duan Ling'er thinks that your joke is too big!
