Chapter 640: Arriving with Civil and Military Officials
"Thank you, brother!" Guo Sheng grinned and said, "I want a house by the river. Luo Kui said that I can go fishing by the river in the future!"
“…”
Guo Sheng raised his hand and slapped him, saying, "Did your sister-in-law say that, or did you think of it yourself?" Fishing? Guo Sheng is the only one who likes fishing, right?
And he's using the name of his brother's wife!
"Brother, what's wrong with me taking her fishing together?" Guo Shengzhong pursed his lips and looked at him unhappily, "Brother, you don't understand since you're not married. Taking your wife fishing is such a great thing!"
"Get lost." Guo Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Pack your things quickly and return to Beijing!"
"Okay."
Just as Guo Sheng was about to return to his room, he quietly asked, "Brother, Your Majesty, are you really going to be the emperor?"
Guo Sheng asked in a low voice, fearing that these words would be heard by others.
Guo Yang covered his mouth directly: "Even if this is true, you should be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall!"
Before the prince ascends the throne, this matter must be kept secret. How can we let others know about it?
Guo Sheng's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh, and wanted to speak excitedly, but Guo Yang covered his mouth and he couldn't say anything.
…
"The two children are only two months apart, but Chaochao looks a lot older than Xiaoxingxing!" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Chaochao and Xiaoxingxing lying side by side in the carriage. She couldn't get enough of looking at the two adorable little babies.
"Such a young child will naturally grow fast if exposed to the wind!" Cui Yao said with a smile as she looked at Little Star: "Little Star's skin is as white and tender as yours."
"She will definitely be a beauty in the future!" Xiao Jiuyue kissed Xiao Xingxing's feet. Even her daughter's little feet smelled fragrant!
"That's right. Yue'er and the prince are both good-looking. It's impossible for Little Xingxing to be ugly in the future!" Cui Yao smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
"Hehe~"
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her daughter. Although she had few hairs, in Xiao Jiuyue's eyes, she was the most beautiful!
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Chao Chao will definitely be pretty in the future. When the time comes, who knows how many girls will chase after him!" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her nephew beside her and did not forget to praise him, saying, "Chao Chao is like you. He will definitely be well-mannered in the future!"
"They are only two months apart. From now on, they will be childhood sweethearts and grow up together."
As soon as Cui Yao finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue's heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked up at Cui Yao and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Master that if close relatives marry, the children born in the future will have a high probability of getting sick and dying young!"
"Ah?" Cui Yao had just said it casually, without any real intention. After hearing what Xiao Jiuyue said, she quickly said, "Yuer, they are just childhood sweethearts. I don't mean anything else!"
Although Xiao Xingxing is only the prince's daughter now, once she arrives in Shengjing, her father will be the most noble man in all of South Vietnam!
"Sister-in-law, I just said it casually." Xiao Jiuyue also knew that Cui Yao might have just said it casually, but this thought must be interrupted immediately. She said, "After returning to Shengjing, I have to talk to the prince about this news."
"What are you two talking about? So serious?" Su Su packed her things all night yesterday and rested in another carriage in the morning. While eating lunch outside, she saw Xiao Jiuyue and Cui Yao whispering to each other.
"Mom, we are saying that close relatives within three generations cannot marry."
After Xiao Jiuyue finished speaking, Su Su was shocked and asked, "Is there such a thing? Who doesn't like to marry relatives?"
Not to mention Shengjing, even in the whole of South Vietnam, many people like to strengthen the relationship between relatives, and the relationship between the two families is even closer!
"Mom, since they are related by blood, the chances of their children getting sick or dying are very high." Xiao Jiuyue repeated what she had just explained to Cui Yao.
"Well, you have to be careful next time, don't get too close!"
Su Su looked at Chao Chao and Xiao Xing Xing sleeping in the carriage and said regretfully, "I originally wanted to let them grow up together and cultivate their relationship in the future!"
"Mom, please stop!" Xiao Jiuyue's mouth twitched. Letting her daughter marry her nephew, who is a blood relative within three generations, Xiao Jiuyue would never let this happen!
Although it will take more than ten years before we can talk about marriage, once the relationship is established, it will not be a good idea to talk about it then!
Along the way, Xiao Jiuyue also had a serious discussion with his master about the consequences of marriage between close relatives!
Doctor Wang listened to her and said, "I've seen quite a few cases of cousins getting married. They really have trouble having children, or the children die at birth."
"Master, now that we have returned to Shengjing, we can ask someone to investigate. Data can best illustrate the problem!" Xiao Jiuyue didn't have this ability before, but now that all the miscellaneous things are gone, Xiao Jiuyue instantly had the mind to think about these things.
What's more, Chaochao and Xiaoxingxing are cousins!
Xiao Jiuyue didn't want to create any rift between herself and her elder brother and sister-in-law because of this matter!
"Yuer, this matter you mentioned really needs to be thoroughly investigated!" Doctor Wang said solemnly: "If it is true, we should inform all the people so that they will not make this mistake again!"
Population has always been an important issue for national development. If inbreeding has such a serious disadvantage, the imperial court must take action!
On the way back to Shengjing, I felt particularly comfortable with my family by my side.
At first, Xiao Jiuyue was worried that Xiao Xingxing and Chaochao would not be able to get used to the road, but the two little kids ate and slept, and slept and ate, and sometimes they would just open their big eyes and look around.
In mid-November, the weather was getting colder and stoves were placed in the carriages. Shengjing was finally within sight.
"Princess, the prince has brought civil and military officials to take you home!" Donggui heard the news and came to report it impatiently.
"What?" Xiao Jiuyue had just changed Xiao Xingxing's diaper and was shocked when she heard Dong Gui's words. "Civil and military officials? Are you sure you heard correctly?"
"Of course." Dong Gui said affirmatively: "I see a huge crowd of people at the city gate!"
"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Xiao Jiuyue frowned.
The carriage slowly drove towards the city gate. Before Xiao Jiuyue got off the carriage, she saw Jun Lie approaching it quickly: "Yue'er."
The moment Jun Lie opened the curtain and saw Xiao Jiuyue, he wanted to hold her in his arms immediately to ease the longing in his heart.
Xiao Jiuyue pursed her lips and said nothing. If only Jun Lie came to pick her up, she would be happy, but if he brought along all the civil and military officials...
Jun Lie explained, "I didn't tell anyone that you were coming back, but I waited for you at the city gate, and those civil and military officials also slowly followed."
"Yu'er, don't worry. I have already told everyone about your journey thousands of miles to deliver supplies to Jiashui City. The court praised the princess for her loyalty and righteousness." Jun Lie could almost instantly sense what made Xiao Jiuyue unhappy.
