First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 938 The shady little Yiyi (1st update)

Liao Chen had no objection to this. He had long wanted to visit Jianlu and avenge the Shadow Ministry.

 —It was definitely not to avoid being chased by that bull-nosed man.

“By the way, where is my daughter-in-law?” Xuanyuan Qi suddenly spoke.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 …

 On the other side, Queen Mother Zhuang also drove back to the palace.

She glanced at the old priest who had rubbed against her carriage for an unknown number of times, her eyes swishing with knives.

 Lao Jijiu said without changing his expression: "Suddenly I remembered that I have something important to report to Your Majesty."

He paused, and under the cold gaze of Empress Dowager Zhuang, he said, "My carriage is broken down."

 Empress Dowager Zhuang was too lazy to pay attention to him. She hugged her jar of preserves and closed her eyes to meditate.

Today’s candied fruit was made by Gu Jiao herself, and Empress Dowager Zhuang cherished it very much.

After entering the palace, Queen Mother Zhuang glanced sideways at someone and said, "Why don't you get out of the car?"

"Ah, are we here? So fast." The old priest muttered dissatisfiedly, and got out of the carriage angrily under the sharp eyes of Queen Mother Zhuang.

The carriage carried Empress Dowager Zhuang in the direction of Renshou Palace. Laojiu looked at the direction of the carriage without saying a word until a guard on duty came over and saluted him: "Master Huo, the palace gate is closed. It's locked. Do you have something to tell His Majesty? I asked them to wait."

"No need, it's okay." After the old priest said it, he flicked his wide sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and strode out of the palace.

Only the imperial guard was left standing on the spot, scratching his head and looking confused: "Did you come into the palace in the middle of the night to admire the moon?"

 …

  Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao returned to the princess's residence. They went to pay their respects to Princess Xinyang first, but were told that the princess was not there.

The maid reported: "Something happened in the military camp today. The Marquis went to the military camp and did not come back until night. The young lady asked for her father and was crying out of breath. The princess had no choice but to take the young lady out to go shopping for lanterns. ."

She said, looked around, and whispered, "Actually, I'm looking for the Marquis!"

The whole family knows this, but who dares to expose Princess Xinyang’s face? Don't want to die?

Xiao Heng couldn't laugh or cry. Princess Xinyang, who had been the great queen in the palace for so many years and was always right in her words, would one day be eaten to death by a little milk bag.

  Yes, more capable than her two brothers.

 The young couple returned to Lantingyuan.

Xiao Heng carried Xiao Jingkong back to the house and gave him a bath. Xiao Jingkong slept so hard that he couldn't wake up despite being pushed around by his evil brother-in-law.

When Xiao Heng took the pajamas and put them on for him, he suddenly found that the cuffs and trousers were shorter.

It was at this moment that Xiao Heng truly realized that the little guy was getting older.

Jingkong came down from the mountain and was taken home by Gu Jiao when he was three years old. In the past three and a half years, Jingkong seemed to be more attached to Gu Jiao on the surface, because he always kept screaming, but in fact he and Gu Jiao Xiao Heng spent the longest time with him.

 First of all, they slept in the same room, which took up one-third of their time.

Secondly, Gu Jiao could not take him with her when she went to war, but when he went to Yan State to find Gu Jiao, the little guy followed him every step of the way.

He had never raised a child before and had zero experience in dealing with children. Because it was Gu Jiao who brought him back, he accepted him.

But through the stumbling and battles of wits and courage along the way, the two of them have become an inseparable part of each other's lives.

Xiao Heng pinched the cuffs of his shortened sleeves and said, "I'm starting to grow taller, and I have to make new clothes. You really don't care about fabrics!"

Xiao Jingkong murmured in his sleep, as if complaining about his muttering.

Xiao Heng returned to the upper room. Gu Jiao had finished washing, wearing cold silk pajamas, and was sitting at the table sorting the medicines in the small medicine box.

When Xiao Heng saw her, he felt a sense of peace and tranquility in his heart. He smiled and said softly: "I'll take a shower first."

“Oh, okay.” Gu Jiao continued to sort out the medicines.

When Xiao Heng came out of the shower, she was still arranging her hands and eyes, and her expression was very strange.

 “What’s the matter?” he asked as he came to her side.

“One, two, three.” Gu Jiao counted the anti-inflammatory medicines put back in the box and turned to Xiao Heng, “Have you noticed that it seems to have gotten a little bigger?”

 “Medicine box?” Xiao Heng looked at it carefully.

Gu Jiao said: "In the past, we could only put two boxes side by side in this grid, but today we have three boxes."

Xiao Heng didn’t have a deep memory of the internal structure of the small medicine box. He only knew that it looked small, but in fact it was very packed. In Gu Jiao’s words, it had a space of different dimensions inside.

 As for the box—

After Xiao Heng looked at it for a moment, he measured the length, width and height with his fingers: "It seems to be an inch longer."

 Gu Jiao opened her eyes wide and said, "Yes? I just found out today."

 Mainly because I have been busy with my wedding recently, and I am so embarrassed after the wedding that I have almost no time to organize it seriously.

The small medicine box is so mysterious that Gu Jiao has not yet been able to fully understand it. She can only confirm that it comes from an advanced civilization and is not a product of this dimension.

Xiao Heng sat down next to her and asked her, "How did you get this box in the first place?"

“My godfather gave it to me.” Gu Jiao said truthfully.

Regarding her origin, Gu Jiao confessed to Xiao Heng, saying that she came from another time and space. In terms that Xiao Heng could understand, her soul occupied this body.

 But she rarely mentioned the specific experiences of that time and space.

 “What is the Godfather?” This is a new word for Xiao Heng today.

 Gu Jiao educated Xiao Heng on the meaning of godfather in the market, but in fact it does not mean father in the organization, but is more of a respectful title for the boss in his group.

 In fact, the godfather was not much older than her.

She clearly remembered that when she was eight years old, her grandmother, who was the only one who took care of her, also passed away. She sat alone under the muddy eaves, being turned into a drowned rat by the heavy rain.

She was shivering, thinking she was going to freeze to death here, and then a pair of shiny black military boots walked towards her in the mud.

The rain was so heavy that she raised her head to see what he looked like, but she was so wet that she couldn't even open her eyes.

 She only remembered that when she lowered her head, a long, cold, white hand that seemed to have no warmth stretched out in front of her.

 Those were the most beautiful hands she had ever seen.

 “Who are you?”

 “King. From now on, call me godfather.”

 A sixteen-year-old boy with a low, deep voice, calm and cold-blooded.

While Gu Jiao was deep in thought, Xiao Heng looked at her for a moment. This was the first time he heard news from her about another man related to her.

 “You care about him very much.”

He said.

　　is a determined tone.

"Yeah." Gu Jiao nodded without hesitation and said seriously, "Without him, I wouldn't be where I am now."

If the godfather hadn't picked him up, she would have froze to death in the heavy rain.

 Her skills were all taught by her godfather.

 But she suddenly felt a little unsure about the memory of her godfather.

She didn't feel like this before, and she couldn't tell exactly when it started. In short, recently, she felt more and more like she had forgotten something very important.

 “Madam.” Xiao Heng said calmly, “I’m jealous.” The kind that can’t be coaxed.

"Huh?" Gu Jiao looked at him blankly, "Why?"

Xiao Dajuanwang confessed expressionlessly: "You haven't even cared about me that much."

 Gu Jiao: “…”

 …

 The moon is dark and the wind is high.

 A carriage was driving on the wide official road.

 “You little grinder, do you have to go find your father?”

 In the carriage, Princess Xinyang asked with a resentful look on her face while holding the little one in her arms.

At this hour, other children had gone to bed early, but her good daughter still had her jewel-like eyes wide open, not showing the slightest hint of sleepiness.

"Turn the carriage around." Princess Xinyang ordered Yu Jin.

Yu Jin gave orders to the driver.

As soon as the carriage turned around, the quiet little Yiyi in her arms clenched her fists and started crying!

 Princess Xinyang stamped her feet in anger.

 The carriage finally stopped near the military camp.

At this time, the civil servants got off duty early, and the generals arrived a little later. There were many carriages parked on both sides of the road. Princess Xinyang specially chose an unobtrusive location, so no one noticed anything strange for a while.

Little Yiyi obediently lay in her mother's arms waiting for her father.

 Finally, Marquis Xuanping came out.

"It's Mr. Hou!" Yu Jin looked through the gap in the back curtain, "There seems to be someone else beside me? Is it...General Qian?"

General Qian is a military general in the DPRK. He was originally a subordinate of the old marquis. He was recently transferred to the West Camp in the capital.

 “Wait a moment.” Princess Xinyang said.

 She didn't want people to find out that she was looking for Xiao Ji.

The two chatted and laughed a lot, and General Qian suddenly mentioned that he wanted to invite Marquis Xuanping to listen to music at Ruanxiang Pavilion.

Ruanxiang Pavilion is a famous fireworks place in the capital, a brothel as famous as Xianleju, and the girls in it compete with each other in beauty.

“Many beauties have come to Ruanxiang Pavilion recently. I dare to invite the Marquis to listen to a little song.” General Qian said with a smile.

Yu Jin looked at his princess calmly. Princess Xinyang's expression did not change at all.

  She whispered: "Princess."

Princess Xinyang said firmly: "He will not agree. He will go back to coax Yiyi."

 Then Marquis Xuanping got on General Qian's carriage.

 After the two left, Yujin did not dare to express her anger.

 “Go back home!” Princess Xinyang said coldly.

"No, why don't you go and have a look?" Yu Jin asked in a low voice.

Princess Xinyang said angrily: "What's there to see? He's going to visit a brothel. Do I have to stop him? It's none of my business that he goes wherever he likes!"

Xiao Yiyi seemed to have sensed the murderous intent of her mother, but she remained obediently motionless and did not cry for her father.

 Half an hour later.

 Princess Xinyang's carriage stopped at the gate of Ruanxiang Pavilion.

It’s almost finished. If there’s anything left that you want to see, you can tell me in the comment area.
