Chapter 641 Are you willing to be the queen?
"Yuer, how about I let them go back now?" Jun Lie said immediately.
Before Xiao Jiuyue could say anything, Xiao Fu came over and said, "Yuer, the prince has been guarding the city gate since dawn today."
Xiao Jiuyue looked up silently and saw that the sun was about to set.
"Is this the little star? It's getting dark, let's go back to the palace!" Xiao Fu was wearing a cloak, but he also felt his hands and feet were cold after the sun went down.
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue didn't say much, and stepped aside to let Jun Lie get on the carriage. When they met those civil and military officials, the carriage stopped deliberately, and Xiao Jiuyue bowed deeply to everyone.
"Princess, this is not allowed!" An official quickly stepped aside. This was the future queen!
Seeing Prince Ling waiting here early in the morning for Xiao Jiuyue to return to the palace, you know that this is the person Prince Ling holds dearest to his heart!
Future queen, what's wrong with them waiting a while?
"Princess, on behalf of the tens of thousands of people in Jiashui City, we thank you for your assistance!"
"Yes, thank you, Princess, for the food and fodder you sent us. Otherwise, if Jiashui City were to fall, our Nanyue would be finished!"
"Welcome back to the capital, Princess!"
“…”
Pleasant words came one after another. Xiao Jiuyue smiled modestly. Jun Lie stood up and said, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work today."
The ministers listened to this and expressed their humility.
Xiao Jiuyue couldn't help but sigh after hearing all the polite words used in official circles. They are indeed old foxes in official circles!
After returning to Prince Ling's Mansion, Xiao Jiuyue took Xiao Xingxing to take a bath and change clothes. As soon as she came out, she smelled the fragrance of dishes on the table, all of which were her favorite dishes!
Jun Lie held Xiao Xingxing carefully and looked down at her. The father and daughter looked at each other. Under the warm yellow candlelight, the scene was very heartwarming.
Xiao Jiuyue's footsteps became lighter, for fear of disturbing this warm and beautiful scene?
"Yue'er, look, the little stars are smiling at me!"
"She's smiling at me!"
Jun Lie said excitedly, and Xiao Xingxing's small smile made the prince, even the man who was about to become the emperor, laugh excitedly.
"It seems that she misses Daddy too." Xiao Jiuyue quickly stepped forward, touched his daughter's hand and said, "Are you hungry? It's time for us to eat, and it's time for Xiao Xingxing to eat too."
Xiao Jiuyue held Xiao Xingxing in her arms and went into the inner room.
"Yuer, you didn't let the wet nurse feed you?" Jun Lie didn't go over, but looked at Xiao Jiuyue and Xiao Xingxing through the screen. Seeing the mother and daughter, he seemed to see the whole world.
"After giving birth, I'm in good health and have plenty of milk. Why don't I feed the baby myself?" Xiao Jiuyue really likes the feeling of feeding Xiao Xingxing. It makes her feel the most intimate relationship between mother and daughter!
Especially when Xiao Xingxing's star-like eyes looked at her, Xiao Jiuyue always wanted to bring all the best things in the world to Xiao Xingxing.
"Yu'er, I'm sorry." Jun Lie looked at her apologetically: "I wasn't by your side during your pregnancy and childbirth, and instead made you worry about me."
"Well, from now on you have to spend more time with me and Xiao Xingxing to make it up to me." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled, blurring his face through the screen, but the sincere desire to make amends in his eyes was extremely hot.
Little Xingxing, who had eaten and drunk her fill, slept soundly. She put Little Xingxing on the rocking bed, covered her with a small quilt, and then ate with Jun Lie.
"Pork ribs, sweet and sour. Come and try it. Do you like the taste?"
As if he wanted to make amends, Jun Lie picked up every dish that Xiao Jiuyue liked for her.
"Pick up more! I can't finish it." Xiao Jiuyue also picked up some food for Jun Lie and said, "You've lost weight. Haven't you been eating well? How did Guo Yang and the others take care of you?"
"If you can't finish it, it's all mine!" Jun Lie looked at her with a smile. Looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs she picked up in the bowl, he didn't taste any sourness at all, only sweetness.
After dinner, it’s time for couples to chat.
"Yuer, are you willing to be the queen?" Jun Lie spoke directly without any temptation or detours.
"Do you want to be emperor?" Xiao Jiuyue asked instead of answering.
Jun Lie was silent for a moment before he said, "The emperor may seem powerful, but he often lacks freedom. Now that I'm the regent and a prince, I can be more free. Yue'er, if you want to be the queen, I'll be the emperor. If not, we can still be Prince Ling and Princess Ling!"
Jun Lie directly gave the decision-making power to Xiao Jiuyue.
"Yongzhao is ready to make a move. Xijiang has temporarily signed a peace agreement, but if you were not the emperor, I'm afraid you would have other ideas."
Xiao Jiuyue's hand fell on his chest, her lips slightly raised: "Jun Lie, I'm very happy that you think of me."
"Yuer, you like freedom." Jun Lie remembered the first time he met Xiao Jiuyue, and later when Xiao Jiuyue had not yet agreed to him, Xiao Jiuyue longed for the life in Hongdu Fu'an Village.
"Don't you like freedom too?" Xiao Jiuyue smiled and said, "Those days we spent in Fu'an Village must have been very happy and blissful, right?"
"Yes." Jun Lie nodded affirmatively. Although those days were not long, they were long enough to make people reminisce endlessly.
"Since we are already happy and content, shouldn't we let the people live a happier and more fulfilling life now?" Xiao Jiuyue expressed her idea of establishing girls' schools, promoting female doctors, and even allowing women to serve as officials in the court.
"Women are not necessarily weaker than men. Whether it's running a women's school or female doctors, it's all very good. However, serving as an official in the court requires further consideration."
Jun Lie was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue would feel uncomfortable, so he explained, "Eat your meal one bite at a time. I promise that I will definitely see the female officials in the court in the future!"
Jun Lie held her hand, held her in his arms, kissed her forehead and said, "From now on, you will be the only one in the Nanyue Emperor's harem, Yue'er, you..."
"With you here, I'm not afraid." Xiao Jiuyue looked up at him, curling her lips and smiling. As long as Jun Lie was willing to protect him, she was not afraid!
"Yuer."
Jun Lie lowered his head, and all his longing turned into practical actions!
…
In the 26th year of Emperor Jingdi's reign, Emperor Jingdi abdicated the throne to the third prince Jun Lie, changed the reign title to "Yong'an", and named Princess Xiao Jiuyue as the queen, and the little star Jun Huan as Princess Changning!
The coronation ceremony, the empress-crowned ceremony, time flies, and it’s the New Year.
Weiyang Palace.
"Meet the Queen."
As soon as Su Su finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue hurried forward to support Su Su and said, "Mother, why do you have to pay attention to these empty formalities? It's just inconvenient in the palace. If I want to see you and Chaochao, I have to wait!"
"Mother." As Su Su finished speaking, Xiao Jiuyue pursed her lips and said, "Mother, I call you mother, and you call me mother. Doesn't that sound awkward?"
Xiao Jiuyue, who had become the queen, was still the same as before. Su Su smiled and said, "Yue'er."
"Hey." Xiao Jiuyue responded happily, holding Su Su's hand affectionately and said, "Mom, I still like to hear you call me that!"
The terms "this palace" and "the queen" are completely inapplicable to Xiao Jiuyue!
