"Father, please send me outside the palace first. You can't cough... you can't delay the return of the imperial sister. Jiaojiao is fine... cough..."
Nangong Jiaojiao said weakly while coughing violently.
"Little princess, please stop talking. You've coughed up a lot of blood." A palace doctor persuaded her anxiously with a horrified look on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the doctor hurriedly walked out of the screen, raised his hands and bowed to Nangong Yu, the Queen and the Imperial Master.
He said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the little princess's current physical condition is not suitable for movement at all. If we really have to send the little princess out of the palace, it may take most of the little princess's life!"
When the queen heard this, her eyebrows were filled with worry.
She just turned around and was about to ask Nangong Yu not to send Jiaojiao out of the palace, but she was suddenly interrupted by the national master Chen Baiye with extremely serious words.
"no!"
"The fate of the little princess is the fate of the country. You cannot transfer the little princess to another place for the sake of a lone star. If you really move the little princess to another place, heaven will punish you. The Suzaku Kingdom will Within a hundred years there will be one great catastrophe and countless smaller ones.”
When Nangong Yu heard this, his expression changed from hesitant to completely determined.
He immediately turned to look at his old father-in-law beside him and said in a deep voice: "Quickly, send someone out of the palace and tell them that they cannot welcome Princess Qingqing into the palace. Take Princess Qingqing to the largest Queyan Restaurant in the capital. I will go there in person later."
National Preceptor Chen Baiye suddenly spoke up.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I don't think Princess Qingqing should be treated with the highest standards. Princess Qingqing should be placed in a secondary position, so that the little princess's Fengxing fate will firmly suppress Princess Qingqing. , then the road ahead for our Suzaku Kingdom will be even easier."
Nangong Yu trusted the words of the National Preceptor because Chen Baiye, the National Preceptor, had predicted many things accurately, so he did not doubt anything.
But he frowned in embarrassment. Considering that Qingqing came back from a place like Zhonglingzhou, it would have been a slight to not let her enter the palace.
Now, we have to lower the standard of reception by one level.
Will it seem too much?
The Queen frowned and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't hesitate. Jiaojiao has brought us and the Suzaku Kingdom more luck. Qingqing has not been close to us since she was a child. Her return may just be a formality. We can't A small loss makes a big loss.”
She felt even more sorry for Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao fainted and vomited blood again, all of which were caused by Qingqing.
Seeing Jiaojiao's pale face, her heart ached.
Nangong Yu finally nodded, "Okay, tell me to go down and take Princess Qingqing to Zixiao Restaurant as soon as she comes back."
Zixiao Restaurant is the second largest restaurant in the capital.
At this time, Nangong Jiaojiao's weak and pleading voice came, "Father, Emperor and Queen, can Jiaojiao go see the Emperor's sister?"
"No! She is a broom star, she will defeat you!" The queen was so anxious that she spoke out what was in her heart.
After the queen finished speaking, she found that she was a little rude and pursed her lips guiltily.
Nangong Yu and others didn't pay attention to her words, maybe they were used to it.
And inside the screen, the girl on the bed had her lips curled up vaguely, a glint of pride flashed in her eyes, and she soon returned to a weak look, which made people feel pity for her.
In this Suzaku Kingdom, she is still the most noble princess.
She just used a little trick and bribed the imperial master, and she was able to push this imperial sister whom she had not seen for a long time into an embarrassing and inferior position.
Based on her understanding of the emperor's sister, the emperor's sister generally listens to the words of her mother and father. Therefore, the emperor's sister will not resist at all and will only accept the situation.
It's a pity that I can't see the imperial sister for the time being...
Nangong Jiaojiao sneered in her heart.
…
And at this moment_
A plain-looking woman in Tsing Yi was sitting in a wonton shop.
The owner of this wonton shop is a kind-faced old woman, and the wontons she makes are memorable to many people.
The old woman brought a bowl of steaming wontons to the woman in Tsing Yi's table.
It exudes a mellow aroma and greatly increases appetite.
"Little girl, the wontons are here." The old woman said with a smile. After she straightened up, she stared at the woman in green with her lower eyes, a look of nostalgia in her eyes.
"Thank you, Granny Zhang." The woman in Tsing Yi said with a genuine smile.
The old lady didn't leave immediately, she just smiled and said, "Little girl, for some reason, when I saw you, old lady, I remembered an old friend. Her request for ordering wontons was exactly the same as yours, more soup and no chopped green onion. Just eight wontons.”
The woman in green was stunned, "Who is that old friend?"
Granny Zhang looked at the woman in Tsing Yi's eyes that looked like an old friend, and she felt so soft-hearted that she couldn't help but said: "Isn't she the Princess Qingqing of our Suzaku Kingdom? She always comes with a cold face. After eating the wontons , there was a bit of a smile on her face, and every time she came, she always came when there were few people. In fact, I knew she was wronged, but she never told anyone."
The woman in Tsing Yi paused while holding the spoon, lowered her head slightly, and said in an indescribably calm tone: "Grandma Zhang, Nangong Qingqing is a princess, how could she be wronged?"
"I'm pretty good at judging people."
Granny Zhang replied. She realized that she had said too much, so she laughed to herself: "Old lady, I'm just bragging. Don't take it seriously. How could a person like Princess Qingqing know an old woman selling wontons?" Woolen cloth?"
Nangong Qingqing said softly.
Granny Zhang saw her hanging her head, exactly like the former Princess Qingqing.
I'm afraid I was wronged too.
Granny Zhang couldn't help but say, "If you like wontons, come to Granny Zhang more often. However, after I finish this year, I will stop doing the wonton business, and it's time to enjoy the blessings."
"Okay, thank you, Granny Zhang." Nangong Qingqing raised her head and smiled.
"You look so pretty when you smile." Granny Zhang said, and before she had a chance to speak again, several new guests arrived.
Granny Zhang said with a smile before leaving.
"Eat it first, it will get cold later."
Nangong Qingqing picked up a wonton with chopsticks, then opened her mouth and bit into it. The familiar taste warmed her stomach and made her heart not so cold.
It is now evening and there are more and more guests.
Nangong Qingqing has changed her appearance, and her appearance is not outstanding, but her cold temperament makes people look sideways. The guests are thinking to themselves: Who is this? It feels like a disciple trained by a big family.
After Nangong Qingqing finished eating wontons, he was thinking about finding an inn to stay.
She doesn't want to go back.
She didn't want Zhengzheng and the others to worry. After all, they were all spending time with their families, and she couldn't disturb them at an inappropriate time.
It would be nice if she disguised herself and stayed in the inn.
Suddenly, a familiar and clear male voice came from behind her, causing her whole body to tremble.
"Qingqing."
