Chapter 162 The Queen Mother Invites

[My sister, this question is unnecessary. I really can't tell what this guy wants except you.]

[But if he really dares to say that, I will bury him alive today!!!]

Listening to her sister's inner voice and looking at the farewell banquet staring at her motionlessly, Jiang Wanrong's face turned a little pink.

The words of thanksgiving that were about to come out of his mouth were interrupted.

I was so engrossed in the moment that I forgot that there was a sister-in-law next to me who was now extremely dissatisfied with me.

After much thought, I decided to choose a request that was not too excessive.

"I... I'm still missing a tassel for my sword. Could you, fairy, personally weave one for me?"

"That's all?"

Jiang Wanrong was stunned.

Exchanging an ancient book for an ear of corn is really too much of a waste.

Xie Ciyan's eyes lit up: "Then...if the little fairy doesn't mind, you can sew a belt or sachet for me yourself."

These things are gifts between lovers. I wonder if the fairy will satisfy his little wishes.

But Jiang Wanrong immediately changed her words without hesitation: "I think it's appropriate to exchange the sword tassel for ancient books, but one is too little. Wanrong will send a box to the young marquis someday."

The light in Xie Ciyan's eyes dimmed a lot.

【This guy is really good at budgeting. 】

[You probably don’t know, but my sister is not very good at cooking and crafts. I think her embroidery skills are comparable to mine. She can embroider a bird and turn it into a worm. She can also poke holes all over her hands. You kid, don’t even think about my sister doing embroidery in your life. ]

The light in Xie Ciyan's eyes returned.

Jiang Wanrong's face turned even redder, and she looked at her good sister helplessly.

That is to say.

In front of this sister, her true colors will be exposed for the rest of her life.

"It's getting late, Young Lord Xie. We have to go to the palace to see father later. You...if you have nothing else to do, you can go back first."

"Okay, I'll go back first then."

Xie Ciyan nodded heavily.

The fairy's attitude towards him was no different from before, which was already a very good result for him.

~~~

Not long after.

Jiang Wanrong and Jiang Youning accompanied Lin Xiangyin, and brought along the little Monkey King that Jiang Youning had suggested bringing along. They carried their food boxes and got into their own carriages and entered the palace.

When the three of them arrived at the palace, Chu Wenzong, who was in a heavy mood, and Cui Zhaoan, who also had an unhappy look on his face, were still considering how to deal with Zheng Wanba's matter.

And Fu Kang also walked in at the right time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, someone is coming from the Queen Mother's place."

Both of them were surprised at the same time, and then surprised the next second: "Quick! Let them in."

The person who came was Su Xi, Wu Qingyi's personal female official.

Su Xi bowed to the two of them, then lowered her brows and spoke: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you."

"The Queen Mother wants to see us?"

The joy on Chu Wenzong's face almost burst out instantly.

Cui Zhaoan standing by was no less impressive.

After dealing with the Cui family's affairs, she went to the Cining Palace to pay her respects every day, but the Empress Dowager always refused to see her.

I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would take the initiative to meet them today.

"Drive the Cining Palace!"

The royal ancestral temple happened to be on the same road as Cining Palace. When Jiang Youning and his three companions walked past, they happened to run into the extremely excited Chu Wenzong and his wife.

"I have brought my children to see the Emperor and the Empress!"

Lin Xiangyin was the first to pay her respects on the palace road.

Jiang Youning and others took over.

As soon as Cui Zhaoan saw Little Wukong, his eyes lit up.

"Mrs. Jiang is here to see Mr. Jiang, right?"

"yes."

Lin Xiangyin nodded.

Cui Zhaoan was immediately very happy: "After Madam Jiang has seen Lord Jiang, if there is no hurry, you can go to my Qiwu Palace and sit down."

"I obey your order."

Lin Xiangyin nodded.

Cui Zhaoan smiled reluctantly at Jiang Youning and the other two before continuing to run towards Cining Palace with Chu Wenzong.

But when Jiang Youning and his companions were halfway on their way to the royal ancestral temple, another person came and stopped them.

The person who came was the chief eunuch beside the empress dowager, and he also took out a handwritten letter.

"Madam Jiang, we are following the order of the Queen Mother to summon the Sixth Miss Jiang and the Seventh Young Master of your family."

"Your servant/minister accepts the order."

Jiang Youning and Xiao Wukong looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

[Ah, ah? Is there anyone who can help the child solve his puzzlement? ]

The eunuch handed the imperial edict to Lin Xiangyin. Lin Xiangyin took a look at it and then reached into her purse with ease: "The Empress Dowager has not been concerned with worldly affairs for a long time. I wonder if you can help me with some of my questions, eunuch?"

The eunuch did not take any money.

He smiled and shook his head gently: "Madam Jiang, we dare not speculate on the Queen's thoughts, but she will not do anything to the two young men, so you can rest assured."

"That's right... Well, Ningning, you two must not mess around."

Lin Xiangyin was unsure of what the Queen Mother meant, so she could only pat the two people's hands gently.

"Mom, don't worry."

Jiang Youning nodded, then held Little Wukong and looked at the eunuch and said, "Please lead the way, eunuch."
