Chapter 167 Gift from the Elders

[It's over, I think I said it too fast! ]

Jiang Youning was immediately overwhelmed, and quickly began to make excuses with a smile: "Your Highness, I really like this set of jewelry, and I couldn't help but buy it. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

"Forgive me! You said it yourself, gifts from elders are undeniable, so just take it."

Wu Qingyi couldn't help but laugh.

The box was stuffed into Jiang Youning's arms, and Wu Qingyi spoke again: "Girl, I'm sure you know about the Zheng family's affairs. My grandson may need to stay in the Jiang family for a few more days."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. We all like little Wukong very much. It doesn't matter how long he stays."

Jiang Youning had a faint smile on his face. Seeing that Wu Qingyi was indeed very kind, he unconsciously relaxed a little.

"When you go back, I will secretly send two people to protect him. Don't hang around outside if you have nothing to do these days."

Wu Qingyi gave another reminder.

She called Jiang Youning over today, firstly because she wanted to see her for some unknown reason, and secondly because she wanted to remind her about this matter.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Youning understands."

Jiang Youning nodded slightly.

When Chu Wenzong came back, he was met with his mother's disgusted eyes.

He chose to ignore it and quickly went to Cui Zhaoan's side to comfort his son.

Finally.

It's getting late.

Wu Qingyi said, "Little bastard, take Little Wukong back. You have been here long enough."

"yes."

Originally, Cui Zhaoan wanted to keep the two of them to have dinner together at Qiwu Palace, but after my mother spoke, she had no choice but to shut up.

Looking at the two people who were about to leave, she was reluctant in her eyes: "Ningning, I will definitely hold a banquet in the Japanese palace to thank you. In the next few days, I will trouble the Jiang family to continue to take care of my son."

"Don't worry, Madam. As subjects of the Jiang family, it is our duty to share the worries of the emperor."

Jiang Youning returned the greeting and then walked away step by step with Little Wukong.

When a person leaves.

The Cining Palace became mostly quiet again in an instant.

After Wu Qingyi retracted his gaze, he looked towards the Emperor and Empress with a gloomy look.

"What do you think of Jiang Liu?"

"Why did you say that, mother?"

Upon hearing the voice, Emperor Wenzong of Chu responded immediately.

Wu Qingyi said slowly, "Look, does that child... look like Zhaohua?"

The emperor and empress were silent.

Chu Wenzong couldn't help but feel his heart skipping a beat as he recalled the aunt he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Mother, I don't think it's quite like that."

Even as he said this, Chu Wenzong couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart.

Since ancient times, aunts and nieces have looked similar. This Jiang Liu...seems to be very similar in appearance and personality to the aunt before he was born in his memory.

"My daughter-in-law has seen a portrait of the Grand Princess when she was young. It turns out that the Grand Princess and Ning Ning were at least 60% or 70% similar when they were young."

Cui Zhaoan actually spoke the truth.

At this point she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Ning Ning mentioned before that her mother had lost a daughter... Could it be possible???

But if that's the case, it seems more understandable that her sons and daughters are close to her.

"I am arranging for someone to conduct a secret investigation into this matter." Wu Qingyi gently rubbed his temples. "Emperor, if you still have a sister, you will treat her well, right?"

"Don't worry, mother. If my son has a sister who is stranded outside, I will definitely compensate her."

Emperor Wenzong of Chu thought about it and nodded.

Wu Qingyi's eyes suddenly darkened.

She never mentioned losing her daughter, so how did her son know that?

~~~

Jiang Youning brought Little Wukong and followed the eunuch all the way to the royal ancestral temple.

There was still confusion in little Wukong's eyes.

"Sister, do I really have parents? Granny Sparrow is also my biological grandmother. This all seems like a dream."

"Um."

Jiang Youning nodded, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about this matter any more for a while. We have to be careful that the walls have ears."

"What does it mean that the wall has ears? Are there ears on the other side of the wall? But if there are ears, shouldn't there be someone? If there is someone, why isn't there someone on the other side of the wall? It can't be that someone took off their ears and put them on the other side of the wall, right?"

Little Wukong was a little confused, and his thoughts were successfully messed up.

One hundred thousand whys have appeared again.

Jiang Youning felt helpless.

"I told you to learn from the Master but you didn't. The meaning of 'walls have ears' is that there will be bad people standing in the corners of the wall, eavesdropping with their ears. As for why there is no one behind the wall, you should ask the Master."

"Oh~" Little Wukong nodded, not quite understanding, "Then let's speak softly."

Royal ancestral temple.

Jiang Huaian was eating snacks while looking at Princess Yongning who was chattering with her own daughter. He felt upset no matter how he looked at her.

He wanted to throw himself into Lin Xiangyin's arms and cry out all his grievances countless times, but in the end, for the sake of face, he had to suppress his emotions.

"It's getting late, why haven't Ningning and Xiao Wukong come back yet?"

Lin Xiangyin looked at the setting sun and finally became a little anxious.

"I guess she was kidnapped by my mother. She likes Jiang Youning and the short-legged boy very much. I like Jiang Youning too. I was thinking that after I get out, I will ask her to adopt Jiang Youning as her adopted daughter. Then I can be her sister in the future."

Chu Lange on the side was quite carefree.

There were more people accompanying her today, and she instantly became happy.
