Xuan Tianhe looked at Xiao Jiu awkwardly, meaning to ask him to help solve the problem.
But Xiao Jiu remained silent throughout, as if he didn't see his eyes asking for help.
Xuan Tianhe: You old idiot, you didn’t say anything at the critical moment.
He didn't say anything and simply turned his gaze to Xuan Mingze, saying, "Handle it yourself."
Xuan Mingze cursed in his heart.
"Don't joke around. According to seniority, I should call you cousin. You can't give up on my uncle, or he will be alone for the rest of his life!"
No one cares about him, so he just shifts the blame to others.
That's right. Why should the burden of reproducing offspring and forming marriages for the royal family be borne by him? His uncle should also share some of the burden.
Xiao Jiu glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "You choose yours, don't worry about the elders' affairs."
Xuan Mingze suddenly felt a chill on his back and shivered.
Nangong Yan smiled contemptuously, stretched out her hand and said to Xuan Mingze, "Give me the jade pendant, and we will assist each other in the future."
Xuan Mingze immediately hid the jade pendant behind his back and said, "No need!" He still wanted to live in peace for a few more years.
他才不要娶这个凶悍的女人，听说她一拳可以揍死一头牛，谁惹她不快，就一把火把别人头发都烧没了。
If I marry her, will I still have a good life in the future?
Ji Yunruo immediately stood in front of Xuan Mingze and said:
"How can you be so arrogant and unreasonable? I've already said I don't want to marry you, but you shamelessly demand the jade pendant to force the Crown Prince to marry you. You're truly shameless..."
Nangong Yan looked down at her and said, "Who are you? How dare you be so rude in front of me!" After saying that, she domineeringly threw a fireball at her.
boom!
"Ahhh!!! My hair!"
Ji Yunruo's hair was on fire. She screamed and then jumped and ran around, slapping her head with her hands.
Xiao Jiu flicked his finger, and the flames on Ji Yunruo's head were instantly extinguished. Her hair was still frozen. Her miserable appearance immediately attracted the smirking glances of the noble ladies next to her.
Ji Yunruo had never suffered such an injustice before, and rushed towards Nangong Yan angrily, "Go to hell!"
All the knives and forks beside her gathered around her and stabbed towards Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan watched with a smile, not panicking at all, "Child's play." She used fire from her hands and was about to attack Ji Yunruo.
"Stop it all!"
Wow!
The pressure of a powerful high-level person emanated from Xiao Jiu.
A layer of powerful gas directly knocked down all the knives and forks released by Ji Yunruo, and the flame in Nangong Yan's hand was instantly extinguished.
Everyone suddenly felt the surge of air on their bodies, and they took several steps back and almost squatted down. Ji Yunruo was no exception.
"This is the imperial palace, not a place where you can act recklessly!"
Xiao Jiu's powerful aura swept over the crowd.
Everyone has heard that this prince is very powerful. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But if he does, the whole team will be wiped out.
Now that they have seen his power, they are all a little scared.
At this time, Ji Beicheng rushed over to plead: "I'm sorry, my sister is not very sensible. I will go back and teach her a lesson."
A large number of people at the scene were almost knocked down by this pressure, and they all looked at Xiao Jiu in fear.
Xuan Tianhe whispered, "Alright, put it away. We still have to choose a concubine."
His younger brother is usually as steady as a rock, lazy and self-contained. He will only take action to protect others when someone dares to challenge the royal majesty.
Xiao Jiu put away his own pressure.
Ji Yunruo felt much more relaxed. The aura just now was so terrifying that she felt like she couldn't breathe and was about to die. The prince's uncle was also... too fierce! Just thinking about it made her scared!
Xuan Tianhe finally made the decision, "Alright, Ze'er, give the jade pendant to Miss Nangong to complete the marriage between our two families."
"Ah?" Xuan Mingze looked at his father speechlessly.
His eyes protested: Are you really going to sell me out like this?
Xuan Tianhe nodded, signaling him to quickly hand the jade pendant to Nangong Yan.
Ji Yunruo, who was behind him, was unwilling to give in and wanted to step forward to say something, but Ji Beicheng stopped him and warned him softly, "Don't mess around."
"Why?" She protested in a low voice, her eyes red.
Originally, the position of Crown Princess was hers, but as soon as this old woman came in, she snatched the Crown Prince away from her brother.
Don't let her say anything.
She could only watch as Xuan Mingze reluctantly handed the jade pendant to Nangong Yan.
"Give."
Nangong Yan took the jade pendant as she wished. She asked with a smile in her eyes, "Your Highness, I want to see the mother of our child. Please invite her up."
Xuan Mingze: Are you starting to recognize your baby now?
Sure enough, she just had a crush on his baby.
Because they failed to take action against the emperor's uncle, and saw his child appear, who was a holy spirit with powerful royal blood, they set their sights on his position as the crown princess.
Xuan Mingze thought that now was the time to enthrone Ning Meng, so he said to the maid beside him, "Go to the back garden and find Miss Ning and bring her here."
"Yes." The maid went to the back garden to look for someone.
When Xiao Jiu heard him mention Miss Ning, he casually raised his eyes and asked, "What's the name of the child's mother?"
Xuan Tianhe: "Her name is Ning Meng. Although she is the daughter of an ordinary family in a small county in Nanling City, I think she..."
Bang!
The cup in Xiao Jiu's hand shattered. He was startled and confirmed again: "You said her name is Ning Meng? And she's from Nanling City?"
"That's right!" Xuan Tianhe looked at the broken goblet in his hand in confusion, then ordered the maid, "Bring another cup to the prince."
The maid nodded and immediately replaced the goblet with a new one, but Xiao Jiu didn't take it. Instead, she pushed it back and said, "No need!"
The fluctuation in his eyes was noticed by Xuan Tianhe who was standing beside him. "Why, do you know her?"
It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
"We can only be sure when she comes."
Xiao Jiu thought that it might be that they had the same name, but he felt a little uneasy.
At this time, the maid came running in and reported: "Oh no, Miss Ning is missing, and the maid was knocked unconscious behind the rockery!"
Xuan Tianhe immediately stood up and said anxiously, "Hurry up and find them all. We must bring her back safely. Rescue the maid and ask about her condition."
All the maids and guards went out to search the palace.
The maid was rescued by the doctor and carried in. She was wearing the light green skirt that Ning Meng was wearing, and there was a big bump on her head from being hit.
She held her head and said weakly, "It was Madam, Madam who knocked me out!"
"What?"
Xuan Tianhe and Xuan Mingze spoke at the same time, with looks of disbelief. It turned out that it was Ning Meng who knocked him unconscious.
She wants to escape from the palace?
Xuan Mingze said in a deep voice: "Father, I will go and get her back."
"Go quickly!" Xuan Tianhe was still a little confused as to why Ning Meng wanted to run away. Didn't she like the comfortable and wealthy life of the royal family?
I have to escape and live a hard civilian life!
Xiao Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice, "Didn't you ask her what she wanted to know before you made her your wife?"
Xuan Tianhe frowned. "I had the maid tell her yesterday. Who knew she would do this without making any noise?"
