"Master, I am serious. Your thoughts back then were consistent with Yao'er's thoughts now, right? Otherwise, how could you marry your master's wife! However, I may not have that chance." Jun Yao was in a low mood.
"My dear, don't be sad. It will happen soon. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future. By the way, has your wedding date with Xiao Ye'er been set? I've known for a long time that Xiao Ye'er likes you! But you He doesn’t seem to feel anything. Do you regard him as a brother?”
When the marriage was mentioned, Jun Yao looked even more lonely. There was a look of sadness on his face, and his eyelids drooped. "Well, the National Master performed the deduction at the palace banquet last night. Master, do you know what happened at the banquet?"
King Qing waved his hand. "I don't know, but I still ask you if I know! What do you think about this marriage? No matter what you do, Master will stand by your side and support you."
Jun Yao's eyes turned red instantly. He threw himself into King Qing's arms and choked with tears. "Master! Senior brother, he didn't even ask about my wishes. He just made his own decision and asked the emperor for marriage. I...I don't want to get married, let alone senior brother."
Seeing the child in his arms crying so hard, Qing Wang looked distressed. He patted her back gently with his big hand to calm her down. "Be good, just cry! Just let it out and it will be fine."
Jun Yao cried for a while in King Qing's arms.
Qing Wang patiently explained her. "Have you been holding this matter in your heart for several days? Master is going to see you tomorrow, and you are here today. We, father and daughter, have a good understanding of each other! Tell your father what you are unhappy about, just speak it out. Don't hold it in your heart. , what should you do if you hold it back! Talk to Master! No matter what choice you make, my dear, Daddy will support you, okay?"
King Qing comforted her for a long time, and Jun Yao finally calmed down. She squatted in front of Qing Wang and rested her head on Qing Wang's knees. Enjoy the warm fatherly love.
"Dad, I'm fine! Just now, I just felt the emotions well up in my heart and lost control for a moment. The wedding date has been decided. The engagement will be held on the 25th of this month, and the wedding banquet will be held on the eighth day of September. Dad, I only have brother-sister love for my senior brother, not a relationship between a man and a woman. No. Do you think such a marriage will be happy? Senior brother said that he knows that I have no feelings for him, but he still insists on getting married to me. Moreover, he is so urgent that the engagement will take place within three days after the edict is issued. marriage."
"Well! He knows that you don't like him, but he still insists on marrying you. Has he encountered any problems? Needs your help? If so, he will directly ask you for help! As a father, he will return to the imperial city with you the day after tomorrow. , ask the emperor what is going on."
"Thank you Master, but Master please don't conflict with the Emperor because of this matter. Otherwise, the Emperor will blame you and say that you turned your arm outward."
"Why are you abducting me? You are my child. The emperor granted my child a marriage, and I still don't know the reason!"
"Master, just don't have any conflicts with the Emperor. You are brothers. If you are estranged from the Emperor, the one who feels uncomfortable is the Emperor's grandmother."
After listening to Jun Yao's words, King Qing admired Jun Yao for a few seconds. "You are such a reasonable kid. You would rather wrong yourself than take the overall situation into consideration. Don't worry! My father will not make trouble with the emperor. So don't worry!"
"Well! Master, I don't want to marry my senior brother because I have no feelings for him. It's not for any other reason. If I love him, no matter what his conspiracy is, or if he wants to marry me for my money, I am also willing to do so. . Regardless of the fact that he is your nephew, he is also your apprentice. I don’t want you to be estranged from your senior brother."
"Okay, okay, okay! Don't worry! There will be no estrangement between you and the father and son. But dad only supports your idea. If you want to break off the engagement, dad will find a way to resolve the marriage. Are you feeling more relaxed?"
A smile crept onto Jun Yao's face, and she smiled brightly. "Well! It's much better now. Daddy still loves me the most and loves me the most! Guobao solemnly thanked daddy here. Junyao stood up and bent at ninety degrees. Guobao, thank you Master! Master is Guobao's god. !”
King Qing was amused by her pretentiousness. "Hahahahahahaha, good! Daddy has received your good wishes, dear baby. Daddy is very pleased! By the way, Master has one more thing to tell you."
"Master, you say, I listen."
King Qing looked serious. "No matter whether you and Xiao Yeer finally get married or not, Master does not want you to get together with Mu Qingjun. He is not worthy of you. Master knows that you and him are in love, but you must promise Master that you cannot marry. Give it to him because he doesn’t deserve it.”
Seeing King Qing's serious face, Jun Yao didn't dare to laugh or be naughty. She promised seriously: "Master, I promise you! However, you misunderstood. I am not in love with him. He is just a good friend. He does like me, but I made it clear to him long ago. . I don’t like him, and he knows it.”
King Qing exclaimed. "My dear, are you serious? You don't have that kind of relationship with him? Then why are you always together? What's going on? It turns out you don't like him! Daddy is so scared by you, I I’ve always wanted to stop you from interacting with each other. But I’m afraid you’ll be sad. It turns out that my sweet baby doesn’t like him! Great, then keep an appropriate distance from him from now on.”
"Okay, I promise daddy!"
When the master and apprentice chatted happily. Father-in-law Hua came to call for lunch.
When Eunuch Hua entered the hall, he saw Jun Yao's slightly swollen eyes. She said distressedly: "Oh! What's wrong with the little princess? Why are you crying? Is the prince blaming you? My lord, the little princess finally came to accompany you, please don't blame her! Ling'er said that the little princess is rushing every day After taking care of the things at hand, I came to see you in a hurry! Look, my eyes are swollen."
King Qing was a little speechless, being accused by Hua Gonggong for no reason, and expressed his disapproval. "Which father-in-law Hua saw that I blamed her? What's the point? Of course I can't bear to part with her."
Father Hua's eyes were full of heartache, "Ah! Who is it? Who bullied our little princess? Let the prince vent your anger. Little princess, don't be sad, let's go have lunch. The old slave will cook you swelling soup later!"
Jun Yao turned into tears and smiled, she was happy from the bottom of her heart. "Thank you, Mr. Hua, no one bullies me, who dares! Right! I just miss Master so much."
Father-in-law Hua knew that he had misunderstood the prince, and he felt a little embarrassed. "It's good that no one bullies you, it's good that no one bullies you! Our prince's darling is not for others to bully. Little princess, let's go! Let's go have lunch."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Hua! Daddy, let's go!"
Prince Qing pulled Jun Yao towards the dining hall and several servants followed them.
Entering the dining room, King Qing pulled Jun Yao to sit next to him.
After the two masters sat down. Father-in-law Hua stood aside and waited. : The little princess is still the same as before, right? Have a sip of soup first. "As he said this, he served Jun Yao some soup.
Jun Yao politely thanked you: "Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Hua! Mr. Hua, you can also go to dinner. You don't have to wait, I will come by myself."
Eunuch Hua was very pleased that Jun Yao was not as squeamish as Jin Gui and was very humble. Father Hua's face was full of kindness: "Hey! Okay, the little princess will call the old slave if necessary!"
Eunuch Hua looked at the servants standing aside and said, "You all should go down and have a meal too!"
The maids bent down: "Yes!"
The servants all left. Jun Yao said: "Master, after dinner, I want to go to the back mountain to step on the medicine. Is that okay?"
King Qing's tone was gentle: "Okay! I'll accompany you. It's autumn now, and the medicinal materials may need to go deep into the mountains."
"No, no, master, I'll just take the two soldiers and Ling'er and the others. Just wait for us at home!"
"Okay then! Pay attention to your own safety and don't step on the herbs if they grow in dangerous places."
"Well! Master, don't worry!"
"Eat more. I see how little you eat. No matter how busy you are at work, you still have to eat on time. You have lost a lot of weight recently!"
"Well, Master, I'm not thin, I'm very strong. It's just that I've been under a lot of pressure and busy recently. But now that the painting exhibition has been successfully completed, I won't be busy anymore. I'll stay here longer and practice my body skills. .”
Time has come to the future. Jun Yao took a few soldiers and his entourage, and they were riding horses, ready to set off to step on the medicine.
Jun Yao waved to King Qing who was standing at the gate: "Master, let's go."
Prince Qing asked: "Come back early, you must come back before dark. Keep an eye on the princess and don't make any mistakes."
The guard promised: "Yes! Prince, don't worry!"
Half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of the back mountain and several of them jumped off their horses.
Jun Yao ordered the two younger guards to guard the horses here. "You two guard the horses here! Uncle Tiger (Zihu) and Uncle Yang (Ziyang) will accompany us into the mountains. We have to go faster, otherwise we may not have enough time."
The division of labor is done. Jun Yao led people into the mountain.
Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
The two maids were panting from exhaustion: "Princess, it's very steep here."
"It's a bit steep, but I used to come here often with my senior brother. The more times I came here, I got used to it and I didn't feel tired. There are very precious medicinal materials nearby. I have a drawing. We have to look for them separately, otherwise we don't have enough time. . Uncle Hu, Xiaoyu and I are in the same team, Uncle Yang and Ling'er are in the same team! We will meet here in an hour." After saying that, Jun Yao sent the drawings to everyone.
Each team headed towards their destination.
Jun Yao and the others were pretty lucky. After half an hour passed, she harvested a basket of precious medicinal materials. Since the basket could not hold it anymore, Jun Yao ordered Zihu to carry the medicinal materials back to the gathering place first.
"Uncle Hu, please take these medicinal materials back to the gathering place first. Xiaoyu and I are waiting for you here. Let's go out again. I went to the Medicine King and saw a seven-star grass inside. More than three years have passed. It should have been It’s wide open.”
Zihu responded: "Yes, little princess, you guys wait for me here. Don't go away, I'll be back as soon as I go."
Zihu left with a basket on his back.
Jun Yao suddenly felt a little anxious. "Xiaoyu, I'm going over there for convenience. You wait for me here. I'll be under that tree."
Xiaoyu was a little scared, "Oh, little princess, please don't go to the back, where I can see it."
Jun Yao was helpless. "It's okay, I'm very fast." After saying that, Jun Yao ran towards the back of the big tree.
Xiaoyu stared at the tree. Jun Yao's back disappeared for a while.
Suddenly I heard Jun Yao'a's voice. "ah!"
Xiaoyu quickly ran towards the big tree and came to the back of the tree. The place was empty and Jun Yao's figure had disappeared.
Xiaoyu shouted loudly: "Little Princess! Little Princess, where are you? Princess?" No matter how loud Xiaoyu shouted, there was no response from Jun Yao.
When Xiaoyu was panicking, Zihu came.
Xiaoyu cried and said: "Uncle Hu, the princess is gone. She said she wanted to go for a convenience, but she heard the princess's voice. I rushed over, and the princess disappeared."
Zihu also panicked: "What?! He's missing somewhere. Take me to see him quickly."
Xiaoyu took Zihu to the crime scene. Zihu could tell at a glance that Jun Yao had been kidnapped. There were signs of struggle at the scene, and there were also footprints left on the ground. There are two perpetrators. After all, Jun Yao has martial arts.
When Zihu confirmed that he was at the scene. Not far below them, running voices were heard.
Zihu cleverly said, "Hurry up and chase. Miss Xiaoyu, you go to the meeting place and wait for Ziyang and the others. I will chase the kidnappers."
Xiaoyu panicked, "Oh. I'll go right away."
