In the harem.
On the imperial concubine's bed, Concubine Zhou, the biological mother of the fourth prince, crushed the cherry in her hand, causing a stir. She looked at her slim daughter and repeated what she just said.
"You said you don't want to get married?"
The red lips open and close with a breathtaking charm. Even after giving birth to two children, the waist leaning on the couch is still slender.
With this appearance and posture, she was invincible among the many concubines in the palace.
Xiao Junya, who was kneeling on the ground, straightened her back and looked at her mother-in-law and nodded.
"Mom, why do you want me to marry someone I don't even know? And I heard from my uncle that he is old enough to be my daughter's father."
"What's more, my daughter has..."
"alright."
Concubine Zhou didn't want to hear what she said next, so she gently raised her hand, and a palace maid helped her stand up.
The jade feet slowly stretched into the shoes inlaid with golden lotus, and walked down the steps to Xiao Junya.
The white and tender jade fingers of Xiao Junya's chin were pressed against her, and then she was lifted up.
Her face was somewhat similar to that of Concubine Zhou, but with more heroic spirit. She had pink cherry lips. Concubine Zhou, who had been in her thirties for thirty years, stared at this face for a while and slowly let go of her hand.
"You are lucky to be able to marry me. This matter has been settled. When you return home, I will ask the foster mother to follow you."
"From today on, wait for someone from the Zhou family to pick you up."
You mean, put her under house arrest?
Xiao Junya couldn't believe it and stood up without caring about anything else.
"Impossible! I am a princess of a country, how could I get married so hastily? Moreover, mother, what do you say to my father?!"
She was the only princess in the Xiao family, so it was impossible for her father to not notice it!
Concubine Zhou frowned slightly. This daughter has become more and more disobedient since she moved out. She said:
"Do you think His Majesty doesn't know this?"
Xiao Junya was stunned.
What's the meaning?
Father knew that she was going to be sent to a man in his forties or even fifties, but didn't he object?
"Ya'er."
Concubine Zhou sighed and raised her hand to touch Xiao Junya's face.
Those tender eyes in front of Xiao Wu were staring at her at the moment.
"You have to know that if your brother takes that position, you will be the only important person to him. Your Majesty means that they should fight for it at all costs, do you understand?"
She didn't know whether she had raised her daughter to be too naive or too stupid, or both.
Since she is her own daughter, of course she must make the greatest efforts to sit on the throne. She has enjoyed the treatment of a princess for so long.
Compared to my former self...
Seeing red marks appearing on the skin under her hand, she slowly moved her hand away.
"Let's go back."
Xiao Junya wanted to continue fighting, but the two palace ladies had already grabbed her hands, and they were so strong that she couldn't break free.
Outside the palace gate, the nanny with her head lowered was waiting for her to come out.
After she left, the maid hesitated and asked:
"Empress, if your Majesty asks..."
Concubine Zhou sat back on the couch, holding a teacup in her hand and looking out the door.
"If I really ask, I'll just say that Ya'er is ignorant and ran off with someone, and I can't stop her."
Then I can put on a good performance in front of His Majesty, and this matter will be over.
The princess fell in love with an unknown commoner and risked her life for him. There were countless such things.
And if he is taken away by that person, there is probably no chance of him appearing.
Even though she is her daughter, she still has to pave the way for her son.
It is said that the royal family is ruthless, but ordinary people can't bear to send their daughters away, and they still don't know whether they will live or die.
In the carriage that sent Xiao Junya back to the princess's house, the half-white-haired nanny took out a stack of books and placed them on the small table.
"According to the imperial concubine's order, the princess needs to learn all these in order to better serve your future husband."
"I do not need!"
Xiao Junya raised her hand and overturned these dirty books to the ground. She was extremely angry and looked at this nanny.
"You will stay well at the Princess Mansion from now on, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else."
The grandma just looked at the fallen book on the ground and had no intention of picking it up. She had always lowered her eyes before. Now when she raised her eyelids, Xiao Junya saw that this person's eyes were full of turbidity.
This person actually has no eyes.
Xiao Junya's back felt cold, and she subconsciously held up the window of the carriage.
"The old slave advises the princess to be more knowledgeable in order to avoid hardship in the future."
When she spoke, the air pressure around her seemed to drop a bit. Xiao Junya had felt this kind of air pressure from other people.
The person sent here by his mother was actually a martial arts master!
I'm afraid that teaching yourself these things is false, but preventing yourself from escaping is true!
Xiao Junya gritted her teeth. She had been to the prefect before, and the Qi family's affairs were no longer something she could interfere with.
One can also imagine from this that the Hou Mansion must have taken action, and the Qi family belonged to their Zhou family.
Although she didn't know what the Zhou family was capable of, but based on what she knew before, the person who helped the Zhou family behind the scenes must be angry.
You are a "gift" sent to comfort that person.
But she has someone she likes, and she will never be with someone who has an unknown origin and controls disgusting insects!
Seeing that Xiao Junya didn't speak, Mammy just thought that she had realized what was going on, so she went to pick up the books on the ground and put them on the table again.
In the princess residence, Zhou Tianze learned that Xiao Junya was back and was about to go to greet her when he saw a palace nun helping Xiao Junya down.
He stopped where he was, and Zhou Tianze could feel that the other party was a martial arts sect, and his strength was stronger than his own.
A trip to the palace brought back a Wuzong, and the strangeness was self-evident.
After time passed, Zhou Tianze waited until nightfall before he came back to the door of Xiao Junya's room.
As a result, the nanny under the lantern was actually there.
I'm afraid that my sister, the imperial concubine, said something this time to prevent Ya'er from leaving.
In other words, it’s just these few days to send Ya’er off.
Zhou Tianze gritted his teeth and had no choice but to take the person away first.
He raised his feet and stepped forward. As soon as the figure appeared, the grandma turned her head and looked over. Zhou Tianze also saw those eyes.
He was not too surprised and came to the door calmly.
"Mommy, Ya'er is not in a good mood today. I will take her out for a walk in the evening, so you don't have to stay here."
It's not unusual for Zhou Tianze to appear in the princess's mansion. He was arranged by the Zhou family.
However, Mammy did not step aside. She stared at Zhou Tianze for a while and said:
"Old slave, remember, you are no longer a member of the Zhou family, and it is not your place to interfere with the princess' affairs."
The attitude is so tough.
Zhou Tianze's eyes were dark, and he couldn't take him away directly, so he could only kill this person and make other plans!
