Chapter 530: It’s a bargain for them mother and son
"Sister Huo Ling'er is doing well. She is learning how to deal with some of the Northern Barbarians' affairs."
Li Suining quickly got the answer and looked at everyone helplessly.
At this moment, everyone understood that the reason why Xingxing could not predict this trip to Dongchu was probably because of the existence of the lucky star.
Bai Ruian couldn't help but complain, "This lucky star is really annoying. Why is she everywhere? She's really in the way."
"I was inconsiderate. If..." Bai Yu'an said apologetically.
"Okay, this isn't your fault, and it's no one else's fault," said the eldest brother, Bai Qing'an, slowly. "This time, even if we can't predict the future, as a family, we'll definitely be able to return safely."
"Yes!" Bai Shi'an nodded vigorously, "We can do it! We will kill gods and ghosts if we meet them. No one can stop us!"
Seeing everyone's high morale, Xiaotuanzi quickly cheered up and said, "Yes, we can do it."
This time, although they temporarily lost the ability to predict the future, the seven brothers and sisters were extremely united. As long as they were together, nothing could defeat them.
In the blink of an eye, the day of departure arrived. Bai Yu'an brought Li Suining into the palace and reunited with Yuan Xiaonian and Fuxing.
The other brothers set off first in secret.
In the palace, before everyone set off, Yuan Tianchen, Shangguan Jinglan and Yuan Yizhi summoned them together.
"This trip to Dongchu is of great importance," Yuan Tianchen spoke first, "I am waiting for your good news in the Imperial City."
Shangguan Jinglan nodded gently, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Dongchu is a place that cannot be underestimated by the Great Jin. Once you arrive in Dongchu, you must be careful with your words and actions. You must not allow the Dongchu royal family to find any evidence against you. Otherwise, if a war breaks out, you will not be able to bear the consequences."
It was Yuan Huaihong's turn. He smiled and walked over to hug Yuan Xiaonian. "Second brother, thank you for your hard work in traveling to Dongchu for me this time. You must come back safely!"
Yuan Xiaonian nodded.
"Master Imperial Master, come back safely!" Yuan Huaihong patted Bai Yu'an's shoulder gently again.
Then, he walked towards Fuxing again, curled his lips and said, "High Priest, safe journey!"
Fuxing, wearing a large hood, nodded slightly.
Finally, Yuan Huaihong came to Li Suining, squatted down slowly, and gently pinched Li Suining's little fat.
"Brother Crown Prince is waiting for you in the palace."
"Yes!" Li Suining was a little reluctant and hugged Yuan Huaihong's neck, "Brother Crown Prince, when I come back, we will play Luban ball together."
"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Yuan Huaihong couldn't help but tear up.
"Okay, it's time to set off. Don't miss the time." Shangguan Jinglan urged unhappily. She didn't like Yuan Huaihong to have too deep feelings with these people. After all, they were people who would never come back.
Yuan Huaihong had no choice but to let go of Xiaotuanzi and stood behind Yuan Tianchen, watching them walk out of the palace. Outside the palace, the carriage and entourage were already ready.
After they left, Yuan Tianchen murmured to himself, "Can they... come back safely?"
"What is the emperor saying?" Shangguan Jinglan asked nervously.
Yuan Tianchen sighed deeply, "Nothing, I just feel that... Dongchu won't let him go easily."
Shangguan Jinglan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and agreed, "I believe the Second Prince will definitely have a solution."
Yuan Tianchen said nothing more, walked forward a few steps, and suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, Jing promised to give her a promotion over there... let's make her Jingpin."
"Ah?" Shangguan Jinglan was obviously reluctant. From agreeing to becoming a concubine, Jingshu had reached the pinnacle of success in one step.
However, Yuan Tianchen clearly had no intention of changing his mind and continued, "Also, don't let her continue living in Yingcui Residence. Let her move back to Jinghe Palace."
"Your Majesty, will this..." Shangguan Jinglan wanted to raise an objection.
"It's settled." Yuan Tianchen didn't give her the chance to continue speaking and walked away.
Shangguan Jinglan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "They are really lucky."
"Mother, the outcome of my second brother's journey is unpredictable, so I understand Father's decision," Yuan Huaihong consoled him. "Please don't take it to heart."
"You're the only one who's so magnanimous, aren't you?" Shangguan Jinglan couldn't help but lose her temper at her son. "Just understand, if Yuan Xiaonian comes back alive this time, he'll have accomplished a great feat, and his mother will become Concubine Jing. Don't you know how much of a threat they'll pose to you?"
Yuan Huaihong lowered his head and spoke weakly, "I only hope that brothers can live in harmony. As for the rest..."
"Pa!" Shangguan Jinglan slapped him directly. "Useless thing, everyone is riding on your neck, and you still think about brotherly harmony. How could I give birth to such a useless guy like you?"
Yuan Huaihong stood quietly, with no intention of speaking again.
He knew that a lot of things had happened recently, causing Shangguan Jinglan to harbor deep resentment. If slapping him could make this mother feel a little better, he would accept it.
After all, in the near future, he had prepared a big gift for Shangguan Jinglan.
Before this, he could endure everything.
"Why don't you go to the Yangxin Palace!" Shangguan Jinglan saw that her son didn't say anything, and she felt a little regretful that she had taken action, but when she spoke, she was still angry.
"Mother, I'll take my leave." Yuan Huaihong left quickly.
"Bai Zhi!" Shangguan Jinglan said coldly, "Come on, follow me to Yingcui Residence!"
She waited for a while, and seeing no one responded, she immediately looked back angrily.
"Your Majesty," the maid Qinglian immediately reminded cautiously, "Your Majesty forgot that Sister Baizhi... has already left the palace and returned home."
Shangguan Jinglan then remembered that Bai Zhi had already left, but she only announced to the public that the Queen Mother sympathized with her and allowed her to go home to take care of her seriously ill mother.
"What's your name?" she asked, suppressing her anger.
"Your servant Qinglian."
"Let's go, follow me to Yingcui Residence." Shangguan Jinglan took the lead.
Qinglian and his men quickly followed behind.
When they arrived at Yingcui Residence, Shangguan Jinglan asked everyone else to wait outside and went in herself.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Jing Dingda sitting at the table, apparently sewing something.
"Cough cough!" Shangguan Jinglan deliberately coughed twice.
Jing agreed and looked up. After seeing who was coming, there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.
But soon, she stood up and stepped forward to salute, "Your Highness, I greet the Queen!"
Shangguan Jinglan took a few steps forward, picked up something on the table, and found it was a pair of shoes, men's shoes.
"Who is it for?"
"Your Highness, I made these for Xiaonian," Jing agreed calmly. "The weather will be hot when they return, and Xiaonian will need a new pair of shoes."
Shangguan Jinglan sneered and threw her shoes on the ground.
