"If she wants to save people, then she will. If she doesn't want to save people, then she won't! This is my only hope as a mother."
She just wants her children to grow up safely.
Princess Jin questioned Prince Xiao in the manner of the mistress of the Jin Palace. Because she was too excited when she spoke, her cheeks turned slightly red. She tightened her hands in her sleeves and coughed violently several times while covering her mouth.
"Mother, godmother." Ruanruan and Zhao Yong rushed over nervously and leaned on Princess Jin's legs.
Ruanruan reached out to cover Princess Jin's hand and patted it gently, "Godmother, don't be angry. Ruanruan knows you understand me. You and Uncle Jin care about Ruanruan very much."
Princess Jin nodded, touched Ruanruan's little face, and wiped away the tears in her eyes. "If Ruanruan's mother were here, I think she would have the same idea as me."
Ruanruan turned her head to look at Xiao Qinbei, put her hands on her hips, and said fiercely: "Don't make my godmother angry. If you make my godmother angry again, Ruanruan will scold you!"
Xiao Qinbei looked at Ruanruan's eyes that showed disgust towards him, his eyes were stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He had to admit that Princess Jin was right. His sister was so kind, how could she let her daughter be the first to take action?
Xiao Qinbei looked at Ruanruan and moved his lips, "You...you defend them so much, do you like them so much?"
"Yes, of course I like them. Do I like you? If you continue like this, I will hate you. Don't go too far." Ruanruan said angrily.
When Xiao Qinbei heard her words, his heart trembled, as if someone had stabbed him with a sharp thorn, and every breath he took was painful. "Do you know that they..."
"Prince Xiao, you are so bold. You are so contemptuous of the imperial authority and commit treason. Do you still have a trace of respect in your eyes?" King Jin glanced at him and said in a deep voice.
"His Majesty asked you to come and assist Qingzhou. Is this how you assist?"
"I think you are going to ride on my head!"
When Xiao Shunan heard his words, he knelt down quickly and said, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. My father didn't mean that. He just admired the young genius doctor, so he spoke so arrogantly. I hope you can forgive him."
He tugged at Xiao Qinbei's sleeve. He didn't know what was wrong with his father. He seemed particularly resentful today.
They are just acknowledging each other's relationship, what does it have to do with his father?
He is so angry!
"He said this because he cares about the young doctor. Please don't blame him."
"Dad, have you forgotten what we are here for today?" Xiao Shunan tugged at his father's sleeve and said in a low voice.
"Medicine, medicine to save the country."
These things are not as important as saving people, and the person he is is his own father!
He had a quarrel with King Jin.
Xiao Qinbei gradually regained his sanity after hearing this. He came to his senses and bowed to Prince Jin, "Your Highness, please calm down. That is not what I meant. I have absolutely no intention of offending Your Highness!"
"If my words have caused misunderstandings, Your Highness, please forgive me."
"Oh? Prince Xiao has accused me in front of me of deceiving the young genius doctor. Could it be that I heard it wrong?" Prince Jin lowered his eyes and stared at Xiao Qinbei, saying in a deep voice.
Xiao Qinbei said stubbornly, "No, this is my fault. I shouldn't have said that."
"Please forgive the past, Your Majesty."
The Prince of Jin opposite him ignored him completely, so Xiao Qinbei had no choice but to lift his robe and kneel in front of the Prince of Jin.
He had followed his father in military campaigns since he was a child, and had made many contributions to the country. His status in the army was comparable to that of his father. He would only perform such a grand ceremony when he met the emperor.
In front of all the princes, he just needed to perform formalities.
The King of Jin was his enemy, and kneeling down now was a great humiliation for the King of Xiao!
"Your Majesty, please be magnanimous and forgive me!"
"I am indeed here to congratulate you."
"I simply admire the young doctor and feel that his talent deserves the love of the people. If he doesn't want to, then what objection do I have?"
After Xiao Qinbei finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Prince Jin, clenched his hands into fists, gritted his teeth, and then released them.
He endured the shame today, but he will repay it a hundredfold tomorrow.
Prince Jin glanced at him and said, "I will forgive you for the time being, considering that you were attacked and injured yesterday. If you continue to make things difficult for me, don't blame me for offending the Xiao Palace."
He waved his hand, signaling Xiao Qinbei to stand up.
"Go on."
After this short episode, Cuilan picked up the tray again and bent down beside Ruanruan.
Ruanruan took a step back, took the teacup from the tray, and was about to hand it to Princess Jin, who took the initiative to reach out and take it.
Cuilan said from the side: "Little Miracle Doctor, it's time to call for help."
Ruanruan stared blankly at Princess Jin, drank a sip of tea, and then said crisply, "Godmother."
"Yes." Princess Jin took out a small golden box from the tray brought by the maid next to her.
She opened the small box and said, "This is the gold-threaded Pixiu and pearl bracelet my mother gave me as a dowry. I specially asked someone to make it smaller."
"I'll give it to Ruanruan now."
Princess Jin personally put the bracelet on Ruanruan, and the size of the bracelet was just right.
Ruanruan glanced at her hands and the big gold bracelet shining on her wrist. She was in a good mood.
"It's really beautiful, thank you, godmother. I like it very much."
Ruanruan took another cup of tea, but before she could hand it to Prince Jin, Prince Jin took it away himself.
"Godfather!"
Prince Jin held the teacup, but did not drink it and paused for a moment.
"Godfather, drink quickly..." Ruanruan looked at him with burning eyes, and jumped beside him with anticipation on her face.
Prince Jin lowered his eyes and looked at him gently, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Are you so anxious?"
She smiled softly, revealing two rows of teeth, and raised her eyebrows, "Yes, yes."
Prince Jin curled his lips, fiddled with the tea bowl, and took a sip of tea.
He placed the tea bowl in his hand on the table beside him. Cang Xuan walked over with a sandalwood carved box in his hand. The box was as big as two palms when opened.
King Jin gestured to Cang Xuan, who walked up to Ruan Ruan and handed the box over.
Ruanruan looked at the box curiously, "What's in it?"
The King of Jin smiled but said nothing.
Ruanruan reached out and opened the lid. Inside, there were round and smooth chess pieces neatly arranged. The texture of the chess pieces was round and full, and you could vaguely see that the chess pieces were clear and had a light green light.
The chess pieces of another color are black with emerald green, round and smooth, and you can tell at a glance that they are not cheap items.
"Thank you, godfather!"
"Godfather, how do you know that Ruanruan likes Go recently?" Ruanruan looked at the box of chess pieces, her face full of surprise, even a little astonished.
When this matter was mentioned, Prince Jin lowered his eyes and rubbed the white jade beads in his hand with his fingertips, "I saw you playing with Gan'er recently."
Zhao Chengqian glanced at Prince Jin, is that so?
But he clearly saw his father secretly playing the Gomoku game that Ruanruan gave him.
Ruanruan touched the chess pieces inside and jumped around happily, "Oh oh oh, hey, that's great, Ruanruan will have her own exclusive Gomoku game from now on!"
