Xu Feiyan nodded vigorously.
"Yes, we have been keeping it carefully."
"That's all right, don't worry too much, just go on with your life as usual."
Nangong Honglie looked at Nangong Jiu with concern: "Jiu'er, you still can't be careless. Practice hard and strive to recover your cultivation as soon as possible."
"I understand! After two days of rest, we will start training."
"Okay, your clothes and supplies are all in our bedroom. I'll have someone deliver them to your room shortly."
"Well, thanks, Grandpa!"
At the end of the next day.
Liu Hao brought his family into the palace.
Nangong Jiuchong said to Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue, "We haven't been in the capital for more than half a year. Today I want to ride Xiao Wang into the palace and take a look around. You guys go in first."
Nangong Yunxue looked at Xiao Wang Xiaoxing, who had turned into a dog and a broom, and said, "Go ahead. Don't play for too long."
"Okay!"
The little ones agreed excitedly, and Xiao Wang carried Nangong Jiu on his back and ran away in a few seconds.
Liu Hao shook his head and laughed, "We don't usually keep them under control, so why do they feel like they haven't been out for a long time?"
"Jiu'er has been riding Xiao Wang everywhere since she was little, but now she rides Xiao Wang less and less. Maybe she's trying to recall the fun she had as a child."
Liu Hao reminded: "She is only four years old now. Other four-year-old children are still acting like spoiled brats in their parents' arms and need someone to take care of their daily lives.
Our Jiuer has been helping us with things for several years now. We haven't taken much care of her, but she has been taking care of us."
"That's right. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't exist long ago."
Nangong Jiu, whom they always talked about, rode Xiao Wang away and then directed Xiao Wang to stroll around the busiest streets in the capital before leisurely turning back to the palace.
People along the way recognized her and waved to her.
"It's Princess Dingguo! Princess is well..."
Nangong Jiu waved to the people from time to time.
"Little Wang Xiaoxing, seeing the people living and working in peace and contentment, I feel particularly relaxed and satisfied."
"Your Majesty is right. I also feel very satisfied with this kind of life."
Xiao Xing also said proudly: "People can eat well and wear warm clothes, do their own things peacefully and make their own livings. This is what we often call a peaceful and prosperous era.
Days like this are full of the flavor of life, and Xiaoxian is reluctant to go back."
Nangong Jiu agreed: "As long as the people live well, it's fine. We went to the palace to see the emperor and his family, and we will start practicing well in the mansion tomorrow.
The bad guy, the high priest, wants to cause trouble. If the heaven and earth can be at peace from now on, my second brother and I will accept it.
But even a fool can see their real purpose in targeting us brothers and sisters.
For the sake of the people of the world, I must not only live, but live well, so that their ambitions cannot be fulfilled."
Little Wang Xiaoxing echoed, "That's right. Since they're giving up their peaceful lives and insisting on causing trouble, wait until Your Majesty recovers his cultivation. Then we'll go to the Demon Realm and beat them until they submit."
Nangong Jiu corrected with a smile: "We are not going to attack the Demon Realm. The people at the bottom of the Demon Realm are also victims. We just need to find those restless ones.
For example, the Demon Lord and the High Priest, they actually dared to kill me when I was at my weakest while I was on earth undergoing trials and tribulations. They are my number one enemies, Nangong Jiu.
I want those two bastards to kneel before me and repent, and ride on me like horses. Humph..."
Xiao Wang refused to accept this: "No, they're just your horses, so what's the point of that little fairy?"
"That's right, so what do you say we should do?"
"That's easy. You ride Xiaoxian, and tie the other two up on the back and walk them around like dogs. Tire them out to death."
“Puff!”
Nangong Jiu and Xiaoxing laughed at the same time: "Xiao Wang, you have become bad."
While chatting and laughing, Xiao Wang ran into the palace gate and trotted all the way to the imperial study.
"Royal Grandfather, Royal Grandfather..."
Emperor Dongling and the two brothers Liu Hao and Liu Xuan were talking about something when they heard the voice and looked up: "Jiu'er is here!"
"Yeah!"
Xiao Wang ran into the imperial study and stopped. Nangong Jiu slid down to the ground and saluted in a formal manner: "Jiu'er greets the Emperor's grandfather and the Emperor's uncle!"
Emperor Dongling happily held out his hand: "Come and let Grandfather take a look!"
Nangong Jiu dived into the arms of Emperor Dongling.
Emperor Dong Ling picked up the little guy and placed him on his legs. "Yes, you have grown a lot taller. By the way, where did you guys go to play?"
"We went to the most prosperous streets in the capital."
"Oh, what good things did you buy?"
"We didn't buy anything, we just went for a stroll and felt the atmosphere of the people living and working in peace and contentment. Then, we can focus on our cultivation."
"Okay, okay! To be honest, this peaceful and prosperous life is hard-earned, and you have contributed a lot to it." Emperor Dongling sighed as he thought about the past.
Nangong Jiu was rarely humble: "I didn't do anything. It's all thanks to my royal grandfather's wisdom and bravery in governing the country."
"Oh, and you're even praising me! This little mouth is as sweet as honey!"
Emperor Dongling couldn't stop smiling.
After laughing, he nodded and said, "Right now, the most important thing is for you to recover your cultivation. Apart from occasionally coming to the palace to see us, you should practice well in the mansion."
"Um."
Emperor Dongling stood up and said, "Let's go to Kunning Palace. I think lunch will be almost ready. The imperial chefs have prepared your favorite dishes today."
"Really? That's great, we can have a good meal again."
Nangong Jiu clapped her hands, took the hand of Emperor Dongling, and was the first to leave the imperial study.
Kunning Palace.
Empress Chen, Crown Princess Yang Jiaying and Nangong Yunxue were chatting in the main hall, while Xiaokang and Xiaole were chasing and playing in the hall.
When the group stepped into the hall, Nangong Jiu pounced on Queen Chen, and Xiaokang and Xiaolegang rushed towards Xiaowang and Xiaoxing.
Empress Chen looked Nangong Jiu up and down with delight: "Well, our Jiu'er has really grown taller."
"Grandmother, I'm already four years old. I'm a big kid now, so I have to grow taller."
"Oh, look at this little girl, she really has the demeanor of a big sister."
Speaking of being a sister, Empress Chen hurriedly asked Nangong Jiu to look at Yang Jiaying: "Jiu'er, please help me see if your aunt is carrying a brother or a sister?"
Nangong Jiu stared at Yang Jiaying, stretched out his little hand to cover her bulging belly, retracted it after a moment, and casually brushed her waist.
"It's a younger brother!"
Everyone was very happy.
Only Yang Jiaying looked at Nangong Jiu with gratitude: "Jiu'er, did you treat the emperor's aunt just now?"
"Well, how does the Emperor feel?"
“Ever since I became pregnant with this child, I’ve always felt uneasy. The imperial physicians have seen me countless times, but they can’t find the cause.
Now, I am no longer panicking and feel very relaxed!"
"As long as you feel better, Aunt Huang will take good care of you. You and your brother are fine now."
Empress Chen and Liu Xuan were overjoyed: "Jiu'er, thank you so much!"
"We're family, no need to thank me!"
Yang Jiaying held Nangong Jiu's hand.
"Jiu'er, tell the Imperial Aunt, what's going on with her body?"
