Chapter 573 Talking Reason with the Emperor
After Xiao Jialing and his wife left, the second prince also set off for Jiashui City with his family, concubine and beautiful concubine.
As for Du Ting, he was divorced and the people had many different opinions about him.
Some people say that Prince Duan divorced his wife because he loved her and didn't want her to suffer.
More people said that Princess Duan must have done something extraordinary and was divorced.
Soon, someone with ulterior motives revealed the real reason why Princess Duan was divorced. Princess Duan was unwilling to suffer in Jiashui City, so she asked to be divorced.
Suddenly, the public opinion began to change, and Du Ting became the target of everyone's condemnation. How glorious Du Ting was when she was the Princess of Duan, and how miserable she is now.
Du Ting thought that he was protected by the Du family, but unfortunately, when Du Ting returned home with the divorce letter, he was expelled from the family tree by the Du family. Later, Du Ting disappeared.
Xiao Jiuyue later heard Luo Kui say that the second prince looked very decadent!
"Princess, where did Du Ting go?" Luo Kui asked curiously.
"Who knows." Xiao Jiuyue shrugged. Du Ting was desperate and trying all kinds of methods. In ancient times, this reputation would be very bad unless he changed his name.
…
On the third day of February, news came from the palace that Jun Lie was appointed Governor of Jiangnan. He was not only required to go to Hongdu, but also to nearby Xiangcheng, Mingzhou and other places.
"Yuer."
The next day after the news came down, Su Su couldn't wait to find Xiao Jiuyue after hearing the news. She knew that Xiao Jiuyue was leaving and returning to Hongdu. Her son went to Mingzhou, and Xiao Jiuyue was going to Hongdu again. Suddenly, Su Su was even more reluctant to let her go.
Su Su hugged Xiao Jiuyue and cried. While Xiao Jiuyue was thinking about how to comfort her, Su Su hurried back home and prepared a lot of her favorite pickles and dried vegetables for her to eat on the road.
Before leaving, Su Su kept reminding her: "Yu'er, be careful on the way. Your body..." Su Su looked at her belly and said: "You are half a doctor yourself. There are some things you should pay attention to. You have to pay attention."
"Mom, don't worry!" Xiao Jiuyue was at a loss for words and said, "Master has checked my pulse and I'm fine. Besides, Master will go back with me."
"Yeah." Su Su felt relieved after hearing this. After so many instructions and warnings, it was finally time to say goodbye.
"Mom, as long as you and dad are fine, I'm afraid I will be unfilial to grandma and won't be able to visit her often." Xiao Jiuyue lowered her eyes. When she said goodbye to her grandmother, she felt very touched in her heart. Her grandmother didn't cry like her mother, but she still felt reluctant to leave.
"Don't worry, your grandmother is still in good health. Your father and I will take good care of her." Su Su wiped her tears secretly. Old Madam Xiao's health has been pretty good in recent years. The series of happy events have made Old Madam Xiao in an especially good mood.
"I can't attend my sister Yurong's wedding." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Yurong apologetically. In the first month of the year, the marriage between Xiao Yurong and the second son of the Jiang family was completely settled. When the wedding took place, she would not be in Shengjing.
"Sister Yue, I'll get married later." Xiao Yurong wanted to say she'd wait until she came back, but Xiao Jiuyue interrupted, "No, how can you delay getting married just because of me?"
The marriage had already been delayed because of the incident at the Xiao family. If it was postponed further, I’m afraid the Jiang family would be dissatisfied.
Xiao Jiuyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already prepared the make-up gift for you. I'm just sorry I can't attend. But don't worry, I'll definitely come back as long as I have time!"
"Sister Yue." Xiao Yurong opened her arms and hugged Xiao Jiuyue: "Thank you!"
If it weren't for Xiao Jiuyue, let alone going to Hongdu, returning to Beijing, and marrying into such a good family as the Jiang family, I'm afraid she would have collapsed when her mother Fan left.
"We are sisters, why should we say thank you?" Xiao Jiuyue said goodbye to all the Xiao family members one by one. Lastly, it was the Sixth Princess who was in tears, and the awkward Fifth Princess.
"Congratulations, Fifth Princess. I won't be attending your wedding with Lord Jiang, but I'll still send you my best wishes!" Xiao Jiuyue said seriously, "I wish you a happy wedding in advance, a long and happy marriage, and a son soon!"
"Thank you." The fifth princess blinked and looked at Xiao Jiuyue with some embarrassment. The longer they spent together, the more she felt that she had misunderstood Xiao Jiuyue before.
"Third sister-in-law, I want to go with you, but father won't let me." The fifth princess Jun Qin cried breathlessly. I'm afraid that even her own sisters would not cry like this when they left.
"Be good, I followed your third brother on a tour ordered by the emperor. It was hard along the way. You can eat barbecue and drink milk tea in the palace. When the time comes, let Xiao Xizi learn a few more dishes to cook for you!" Xiao Jiuyue comforted him. Xiao Xizi was the one who learned cooking from the cook.
When the Sixth Princess heard this, she immediately laughed.
The carriage slowly started off. Xiao Jiuyue sat in the carriage, watching the familiar faces gradually disappear from her sight. Only when they were out of sight did she throw herself into Jun Lie's arms.
"Be good, don't cry. We will be back in autumn." Jun Lie hugged her and comforted her.
"Who's crying?" Xiao Jiuyue said in a muffled voice.
“…”
Jun Lie patted her back and said, "Well, I cried."
"Puff~"
Xiao Jiuyue smiled. She reached out and poked his chest, saying, "Governor, when we go to Mingzhou, can't we go see Big Brother?"
"Yes, sure." Jun Lie nodded, gently nuzzling her forehead with his chin, and asked, "That's perfect. Under the name of the governor, I'll take you to see the scenery. How about traveling around?"
"Isn't this a trip at public expense? If my father knew about this, wouldn't he punish you for deceiving the emperor?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his head and raised his eyebrows, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes.
Jun Lie didn't expose her. He pondered for a moment before saying, "Then what should we do? It doesn't matter if I'm punished, but it would be bad if Jiu Yue gets implicated."
"Hmph, then we'll just..."
Before she could finish the next word, Xiao Jiuyue's lips were sealed with a kiss that seemed like punishment. It lasted until she could hardly breathe. He pressed his forehead against hers and said, "Don't say anything unlucky."
"I didn't say anything unlucky." Xiao Jiuyue's rosy lips moved, her eyes flickering slightly: "What I said is, if I get implicated, we will reason with father. We didn't deceive the emperor!"
"Hmm, that's reasonable." Jun Lie's eyes fell on her bright red lips. Her shiny lips were very beautiful. He said, "The princess is right."
"But what if we didn't kiss enough just now?" Jun Lie's words fell, and Xiao Jiuyue felt a heavy pressure on her lips...
"You go ride a horse, I want to sleep in the afternoon!" Xiao Jiuyue lay directly on the carriage. Riding in a carriage with some people gave her an extra companion to chat with, but her mouth was numb from kissing and so on!
"Okay!" Jun Lie looked at her red lips, knowing he was in the wrong, and behaved very well. Xiao Jiuyue, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed. She said, "How about you take the carriage at the back?"
"I'll ride a horse and lead the way for the princess!" Jun Lie looked at her with a smile, finally not missing home anymore!
