Early the next morning, as soon as Xiao Jiuan finished his breakfast, news came from the palace, telling him to go to see the saint.
Song Wanqing got the news and waited at the gate of the palace for a long time.
"Ninth Prince," seeing him finally coming out, the little girl rushed to greet him, "I heard that the emperor summoned Ninth Prince."
Xiao Jiuan nodded.
"It's probably because of me," Song Wanqing gritted her teeth, "If the emperor insists on favoring them, the Ninth Prince will just let go and I will move out. Anyway, we completely broke up with each other yesterday, and I am not afraid of them."
The little girl's eyes were firm and fearless, like a calf always ready for a big fight.
Xiao Jiuan hit her on the forehead with a silver bone fan, "You can't go anywhere before I stand up."
He moved the wheelchair and left. Lindao winked at Song Wanqing from behind, "Don't worry, Miss Wanqing, our prince is not afraid of the emperor, so you can live in peace."
Song Wanqing stood at the door, watching the carriage go away, and then she let out a long sigh of relief.
"Miss, I don't think you need to worry, the Ninth Prince will not drive the lady away." Chen Yu looked confident.
Song Wanqing turned around and walked back, saying lightly, "I hope so."
She didn't dare to expect Xiao Jiu'an to help her fight against Emperor Qing because of her mother, but she was a nobody after all. As long as the balance in Xiao Jiu'an's heart favored her a little more, she would have hope.
I hope her efforts to wait here early in the morning were not in vain.
On the carriage, Lin Dao felt a little sorry for Song Wanqing, "Miss Wanqing can rest assured now."
"If she was relieved, she wouldn't wait there." Xiao Jiuan frowned slightly. He could feel that Song Wanqing didn't trust him.
After entering the palace, Emperor Qing sighed when he saw Xiao Jiu'an, "Lao Jiu, you are finally here. I have been having a headache the past few days due to the noise made by that guy from Marquis Ding'an."
Xiao Jiuan raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence, my brother has been annoying him lately."
"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother," Emperor Qing shook his head, "People have complained to me, saying that you robbed someone else's daughter."
"The Marquis of Ding'an was joking. Could it be that he carried the body of the so-called Marquis's wife into the Prince's Palace?" Xiao Jiu'an's eyes turned cold, "Is it to get his daughter back?"
Emperor Qing shook his head when he heard this, "If Marquis Ding'an messes around again, it's their family matter. Ninth Brother, you shouldn't care about it."
Xiao Jiuan said in a calm voice, "When brother Chen's leg is cured, they can do whatever they want."
"Can that girl really cure Jiu Di's leg?" Emperor Qing glanced at Xiao Jiu'an's leg, "Is there any progress now?"
He smiled and said, "I and the lieutenants of the army naturally hope that Ninth Brother can stand up as soon as possible. Our territory in Dayong is still waiting for Ninth Brother to open up."
"There's not much progress for the time being." Xiao Jiu'an chuckled, "However, after she moved into Prince Zhan's Mansion, it became a lot more lively. Didn't the Emperor always say that the Prince's Mansion was too deserted?"
"Lao Jiu, stop pretending to be confused." Emperor Qing said with a serious face, "I want you to get married and have children as soon as possible. Is it possible... Lao Jiu, you have fallen in love with that girl?"
Emperor Qing's eyes lit up and he looked very excited. He walked to Xiao Jiu'an in a few steps and said, "If there is such a relationship, Marquis Ding'an, then don't worry, I will grant you a marriage."
"Brother Huang is joking. She is just a yellow-haired girl. I am not interested." Xiao Jiu'an paused for a moment before speaking slowly, "Brother Huang, do you still remember the time when my mother and concubine were seriously ill?"
Emperor Qing's expression immediately became serious, "I will never forget it in my life."
"Then the emperor brother should also remember that it was Shen Yue who saved my mother and concubine back then." Xiao Jiuan raised his eyes and looked over, "So, I can't ignore this girl."
"I forgot, she is Shen Yue's daughter." When mentioning Shen Yue, Emperor Qing's tone softened obviously, "A female family member suddenly lives in your house, are you in need of anything?"
"Not bad." Xiao Jiuan nodded slightly.
"Forget it, what do I ask you, an old bachelor, about my daughter's family?" Emperor Qing shook his head, "I will ask Concubine Jing to send some things over later, and let the child live peacefully in your house for now. "
"My brother thanked the emperor for that girl."
"Although this girl is Shen Yue's daughter, there is no shadow of Shen Yue in her. She is too stubborn and willful." Emperor Qing sighed deeply, "She is not young anymore. She has lived with you for a long time. That’s not the answer either.”
He raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will find a good home for her, so you can rest assured too."
"Brother Imperial, you also said that this girl is stubborn and she is not even willing to marry Yi'er," Xiao Jiu'an said with a smile, "We don't have to worry about her marriage."
"Yes, this girl has a good idea, so let her go." Emperor Qing sat back at the desk, "You can go back too. If you need anything in the future, just ask me directly. After all, she is Xiaoyue's daughter... I don't I won’t care.”
When Xiao Jiuan returned to Prince Zhan's Mansion, Zhimo was waiting at the door.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jing came here just now. She sent some things to Jiao Yuexuan and left in a hurry."
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Jiuan looked at Lin Dao, "Let's go to Jiaoyue Pavilion first."
"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Dao was happy for Song Wanqing from the bottom of his heart. He snorted at Zhimo and pushed Xiao Jiu'an to Jiao Yuexuan.
When he arrived at the door, Chen Yu's chirping voice could be heard inside, sounding in a particularly good mood.
"My lord, they are celebrating." Lin Dao said with a smile.
When they entered Jiaoyue Pavilion, they saw that Chen Yu was taking a few little girls to collect the rewards, talking and laughing, while Song Wanqing was in the yard, lying on a soft couch with a blanket, squinting in the sun.
No one noticed anyone coming.
Lin Dao coughed lightly as a reminder.
Song Wanqing opened her eyes instantly, looking embarrassed.
She didn't expect that Jiao Yuexuan would come as soon as Xiao Jiuan came back.
She asked Biyun to wait at Linfeng Residence, thinking that she would go and thank Xiao Jiuan when he came back.
But now...she barely had time to react. She lifted the blanket and jumped to the ground. She leaned over and said, "Ninth Prince, you are here."
Lin Dao turned his head and reminded helplessly, "Shoes."
shoe?
When Song Wanqing lowered his head, he saw that he had no shoes on and was standing on the ground with bare feet.
She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head, and regardless of whether she was rude or not, she turned around and ran back to the house.
Xiao Jiuan twitched his lips and said, "Forget it, let's go back to Linfeng Residence."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Dao looked down and subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, why are your ears red?"
It was okay if he didn't say it. After he finished speaking, he found that his prince's ears were even redder.
"Your Highness..." He also wanted to care about his own Prince.
"Shut up!" Xiao Jiuan's face turned cold.
He felt that since he accepted Song Wanqing as his apprentice, the original Menghu Lindao talked more and more.
