Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 258 King Yongjing (2)
Yue Qing frowned: "Is a princess so important?"
"The princess may not be important, but the villa behind the princess is very important."
Yue Qing asked: "Why is the villa important to Li Guo? Is it because it is rich?"
"That's just one of the things."
"What are the other reasons?"
Mo Xue said with her hands behind her back: "I heard there are rumors that the noble daughter of the Chang family of the Villa has special abilities. This rumor is not completely wrong. In the royal families of various countries, there is an unwritten rule that the emperor will receive a gift after he succeeds to the throne. A copy of the late emperor's edict. It is about the spiritual daughter of the Chang family in the villa."
Yue Qing smiled and said: "Mo Xue, didn't you say that things about the spirit girl are confidential? This means that all countries know about it."
"There is a clause in the edict that this matter cannot be spread to outsiders. Only the next emperor can know about it after he succeeds to the throne."
"How did you know about the royal family's imperial edict?"
Mo Xue said: "Because this edict was jointly signed by the Villa and other countries, and there is a copy in the Mo family's ancestral hall."
Yue Qing was shocked: "There is such a thing, I know about it. But what does this have to do with Emperor Li making things difficult for my father?"
"Because of the content of this edict."
"What is written in this edict?"
"Miss, please forgive me, this is not the right place to talk. If you want to know, you can go to the Mo family ancestral hall and have a look when you return to the villa. I think the great elder will agree."
Yue Qing looked at Chang Ge and the others, "Does Chang Ge also know about this edict?"
Chang Ge said: "I know, but I haven't seen the specific content inside. The seventh elder should know it."
Qi Jiao said: "I've heard of it too."
Yue Qing looked at Mo Xue again, "This edict shows the importance of Chang's spiritual daughter, so what does Emperor Li want me to do?"
"I think I probably want the young lady to stay in Li Country."
"You want me to stay in Li country?"
"Yes, not only that, I think Emperor Li also wants the young lady to marry into the royal family."
Yue Qing was speechless. "Didn't the seventh elder say that you can't combine with the royal family? He said that this is the only requirement for the spirit girl."
Chang Ge smiled and said, "Miss remembers it very clearly."
Yue Qing looked at him and said, "So if my mother marries my father, she is betraying the Villa."
Chang Ge lowered his face and said, "That's not entirely true. Mrs. Fu did other things back then. In addition, when she married your father, he was not yet a prince. It was only after Emperor Li found out about it that he changed his identity."
"What did Mrs. Fu do? Is it more serious than marrying an outsider?"
Chang Ge thought for a while and said, "The Chang family's women cannot leave the villa. Mrs. Fu ran away privately because of some things, which caused some bad effects."
"Chang's women can't leave the villa? So isn't it true that only spirit girls can't leave? Or ordinary women can't leave too?"
"Of course not. Let alone women, even men can't leave at will?"
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Then didn't both of us violate the rules?"
"Miss's situation is special. You agreed to leave the villa after discussion with the elders."
"Don't you all think I'm a little willful?"
"I don't dare. The young lady has her own considerations. As long as the young lady does not do anything that harms the interests of the villa, we will try our best to meet the young lady's request."
Mo Xue said: "This time when the prince comes to see the young lady, he may also talk about letting the young lady enter the palace."
Yue Qing sighed: "It's really troublesome. I don't like this kind of situation, not to mention that the other party has a specific purpose."
Mo Xue said: "Why don't I go to the palace to visit Emperor Li tomorrow and make some arrangements in advance."
"If you go, will Emperor Li agree not to let me go to the palace?"
Mo Xue smiled, "No, after all, there are some things in the court that cannot be decided by Emperor Li alone. However, it is always good to say hello."
"Will Emperor Li make things difficult for you?"
"Don't worry, Miss, it won't happen at this stage."
"Okay, go ahead. It's best not to let me enter the palace. I'm too lazy to deal with them."
Qiaoer said: "Miss, even if you have to enter the palace, the three of us will always be with you and we will not let you suffer."
Yue Qing said: "Okay, I think I can't live without you three now."
Back to the room, Qing'er came back after waiting for a while.
"Father has returned?"
Qing'er said: "Not yet, but I brought back a few people."
"Who is it?"
Qing'er smiled and said, "Don't you always talk about Chunxiu and the others? I brought them back."
"Oh, where are the people?"
"Outside, I saw Commander Jiao at the door and didn't dare to come in."
Yue Qing smiled: "Qi Jiao is almost becoming a door god, let them come in quickly."
"good."
Qing'er turned around and went out.
Chunxiu and the other four were outside the courtyard gate, looking at Qi Jiao who was standing at the gate with some fear. They didn't know why there were men in the princess's yard, and even the guards couldn't enter the yard. Miss Qing'er didn't let them in. She only said to go in and report to the lady. The four of them could only stand aside carefully.
Qi Jiao looked at the four maids, whose identities were unclear and who had not received any education from the villa. I don’t know why the young lady keeps these four people around.
Qing'er walked out, "Miss, let you go in."
Chunxiu and others bowed to Qi Jiao and followed Qing'er into the courtyard.
I glanced back and found that the man had actually followed me, so I quickly looked away.
"Are these four girls?" A male voice sounded, startling Chunxiu. He raised his head and saw two handsome young men, one red and one blue.
She has never seen such a handsome man, and the young men in the family are far behind him.
Qing'er said: "Sir, yes, Miss, let them in."
The man nodded.
Qing'er said to them again: "These two are Mr. Xue and Mr. Wage."
Chunxiu and the others saluted: "I have met Mr. Xue, and I have met Mr. Ge."
Another man said, "Get up."
Chunxiu and the others got up, followed Qing'er into the room, and walked to the back room to see Yue Qing.
Chunxiu knelt down with a plop, tears streaming down her face: "Princess, you are back."
Chunlan and the other three also knelt down and started crying.
Yueqing stood up, supported Chunxiu, and laughed: "Get up, get up, why are you crying?"
Chunxiu didn't get up: "The princess hasn't come back for so long, I thought she didn't want us anymore."
"How could it be? If this is really the case, I will definitely find a way out for you in advance. Okay, okay, don't cry. Those who don't know may think something happened to me."
The four of them wiped their tears and stood up.
"Princess, please don't abandon us. There will never be a better master than you."
"What's wrong? Someone is bullying you?"
"That's not true. Since the princess left, the palace has not arranged any other work for me. We are only asked to guard this courtyard. The four of us have nothing else to do. We usually go to take care of the madam."
"I heard what my mother said, you four can protect this yard."
"Of course you can't let others touch the things that Miss has used. Fortunately, both the Princess and Aunt Wen are looking after Miss's yard. Otherwise, the four of us alone wouldn't be able to do anything."
Yue Qing smiled. "After all these years, you guys have changed a lot. Well, I should say it's become a lot more beautiful."
Chunxiu said hurriedly: "The princess has also changed a lot. She has grown a lot taller, but Chunxiu can still recognize her at a glance."
Yue Qing looked at the four of them, and Chunxiu seemed to be the leader.
"Chunxiu has not only become more beautiful, but her mouth has also become much smarter. Just in time, don't you often go to my mother's place? I want to ask you, how did she get sick? When did she start to get sick? Did anyone give her any advice? Adding to the problem?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Chunxiu was about to speak. Cai'er came in and said, "Miss, someone has been sent to the madam's room. They said that the prince is back and asked the lady to come over."
Yue Qing nodded, "Okay, let's wait until I come back. Chunxiu will go with me."
Chunxiu nodded: "Yes."
Cai'er came over to help her: "Miss, a soft sedan has been prepared at the door."
"It's such a short journey, so there's no need to take a special sedan."
"Deacon Song said that Miss has worked hard all the way and has been busy even before she got some rest. It would be better to go there in a sedan."
"It's just a small thing, just listen to Chang Ge." After saying that, he walked out of the room.
