Chapter 81 How could Xuanxuan have any connection with Chu Mo who was thousands of miles away?
During the break, Jing Qiao walked up to Jing Yu again, with a girl beside her.
Jing Qiao knocked on Jing Yu's desk, raised her chin, and crossed her arms: "Xiao Qi, after class, Xu Ying invited us to her house to play."
The girl next to her nodded and looked at Jing Xuan expectantly.
You have to know that the Seventh Princess is of noble status. If she could be invited, Xu Ying would be proud to tell others about it.
Jing Yu didn't look at Xu Ying, sighed, and said to Jing Qiao: "Royal sister, I have something to do."
"What can happen to you?" Jing Qiao didn't believe her. The little girl was the best at lying.
Jing Xuan: "I want to go to my mother's place."
Jing Qiao frowned, this couldn't be fake.
"I'll go out with my sister tomorrow." Jing Xuan smiled, "Let's go see the third sister."
Jing Qiao raised her eyebrows: "Okay then."
Seeing that the princess had agreed, Xu Ying had no choice but to lower her eyes in disappointment.
She didn't know that Jing Xuan in front of her had an indifferent expression and glanced at her lightly.
She doesn't mind this kind of behavior, but she avoids it if possible.
Jing Xuan looked at the silly Fifth Sister again and sighed helplessly.
After class, Jing Xuan said goodbye to her friends and the imperial sister one by one and went directly to Kunning Palace.
At this time, Empress Yuan put down the book in her hand and said with a smile: "Chunxiu, go get some food."
Chunxiu had served the Queen for many years, and she immediately understood the reason and stepped down without hesitation.
The maid beside her poured her tea and said, "Your Highness and the Princess must be in perfect sync with each other."
Empress Yuan: "Xuan is smart. She knew that Ce'er would come here after he returned, so she came here to wait. She said she came to see me, but in fact she just wanted to see her brother."
Mammy: "Isn't that what the queen wants? With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, no one dares to bully Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Yes." Queen Yuan looked out the window and sighed softly.
The royal family had a weak kinship relationship, and there was a huge age gap between Xuanxuan and Ce'er. She was afraid that the two would become estranged, and that a hundred years later, no one would protect her daughter.
Therefore, before Jing Xuan was born, Empress Yuan told Jing Ce in person that in this palace, apart from Jing Xuan, no one could be closer to him, including his father, the emperor and his mother.
At that time, Jing Ce, who was nine years old at the time, kept these words in mind.
After Jingxuan was born, Empress Yuan even asked Jingce to accompany Jingxuan personally.
Jing Ce is very obedient. What's more, his sister is so cute that he wishes he could pick the moon and stars for her. How could he not be willing to grow up with her?
So Jing Ce held Jing Yu's hand and taught her how to walk and how to talk.
When the first word uttered by the little girl was "Ge Ge", little Jingce ignored the jealousy and envy of his father and mother, and happily hugged the little girl and giggled.
The little dumpling also covered his mouth and giggled, laughing so hard that his teeth were showing.
Empress Yuan achieved her goal.
The biggest reason why Jing Xuan could become the little overlord of the capital, besides the favor of Emperor Suian, was the crown prince Jing Ce.
The Eastern Palace is very powerful, and within a few years, the prince will ascend to the throne. By then, there is no need to explain Jing Xuan's identity, and who would dare to provoke her at will?
Queen Yuan was completely relieved.
But occasionally, she would join the emperor in being jealous and envious of her own son.
Suddenly, a joyful voice interrupted the queen's thoughts——
"Mother, mother, my aunt is here!"
Queen Yuan looked at the little girl in a blue silk dress, who jumped towards her. The sadness she had felt in the past few days disappeared completely, and she turned back into the bright and cheerful little princess she used to be.
The nanny and palace maid beside her wanted to bow, but she simply waved her hand and avoided it gracefully.
Empress Yuan looked at her and laughed out loud, "Xiaoxiao is here."
"Yeah." Jing Xuan hugged the empress's slender waist and couldn't help rubbing it, saying coquettishly, "Mother, Xuanxuan misses you..."
Although she knew that the little girl had other intentions, she still couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and coaxed her softly, "My dear, my dear, your mother misses you too."
Jing Xuan acted coquettishly for a long time without mercy, which made Empress Yuan laugh continuously, and her heart and eyes were filled with this little daughter.
After being satisfied, Jingxuan sat obediently on the chair. When she saw Chunxiu bringing her food and pastries, she thanked her with a smile.
Empress Yuan's eyes were filled with tenderness, and she finally let go of the worries of the past few days.
Jing Xuan chatted with her mother for a while, but her eyes kept glancing towards the door, absent-minded.
Empress Yuan shook her head helplessly.
Finally, after a while, the sound of greetings was heard from outside the door.
Jing Xuan immediately pricked up her ears and looked straight at the door.
The next moment, two tall figures appeared.
The older one walked in front, with a terrifying aura all around him. He strode in with his hands behind his back. His handsome face, like a sculpture, showed traces of time, but he had a more steady charm than the young man behind him.
As soon as he saw Empress Yuan and Jing Yun, the stern look in the middle-aged man's eyes instantly disappeared, and was filled with a gentle smile.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a little girl in a blue dress pretending not to see him. She looked past him and looked at another handsome young man.
Emperor Jingyue of Suian's smile froze, and there was an imperceptible grievance in his eyes. He walked to the Queen's side in two steps, lowered his eyes, and looked at her without saying a word.
The corners of Empress Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she gently patted his shoulder to comfort him.
On the other side, the heartless Jing Xuan had no idea of her father's sadness. She jumped to Jing Ce with bright eyes, raised her head, and smiled: "Brother Huang, you are finally back."
Jing Ce rubbed the furry little head and responded softly, "Yeah."
Jing Ce promised Jing Yu to go look for Master Su Xuan. The master was not in the capital, and Jing Ce was worried about sending someone, so he had to go there in person and just returned today.
Seeing Jing Xuan's expectant look, Jing Ce couldn't bear to look away.
The master did not give an accurate answer, but only said something ambiguous. Jing Ce didn't know whether this could help his sister.
Seeing him like this, Jing Xuan's heart almost jumped to her throat. Her throat tightened and she didn't dare to ask another word.
Emperor Suian and Empress Yuan looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry and anxiety.
"Xuanxuan, go back and have a good talk with your brother." Emperor Sui'an said in a deep voice: "You are my daughter, the Princess of Dasui. There is nothing to be afraid of, and nothing can stump you."
He walked in front of Jing Xuan, bent down slightly, and looked at her at eye level, with a smile in his eyes: "Don't forget, father is still here, and he will always help you."
Jing Yu was stunned, pursed her lips, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
As she said this, she grabbed Jingce's sleeve with a heroic and arrogant look and pulled him away.
Jing Ce had no choice but to follow without struggling at all.
"It's really going to be alright, right?" Empress Yuan looked at Emperor Suian anxiously.
"Yun'er, Xuanxuan is my and your child. I will never let anything happen to her." Jing Yue spoke each word with pauses, as if he was swearing. After a moment, he softened his voice with some doting: "Don't be afraid, Yun'er."
Yuan Yunran nodded, but then became a little worried: "Xuan is about to reach the age of marriage."
“Hiss——” Jing Yue immediately took a breath, and his calmness just now disappeared completely. There was even a bit of indescribable sadness on his mature and handsome face: “Yun’er, don’t say it, I can’t listen.”
Yuan Yunran: “…”
"My little princess, who was still a baby-voiced little girl, how come she has grown up and reached the age of marriage in the blink of an eye?" Jing Yue was puzzled. He tugged at the queen's sleeve in confusion and said seriously, "Yun'er, hit me so that I can wake up from my dream quickly."
Yuan Yunran twitched the corner of his mouth skillfully, and slapped the emperor on the back. With a "pop" sound, everyone in the palace stopped breathing, and no one dared to breathe.
Although this scene happens often, especially in recent days almost every day, the palace maids and nannies in Kunning Palace are still extremely scared and wish they could bury their heads in the ground.
Jing Yue looked at her innocently, his face full of distress: "Sure enough... this is not a dream."
Yuan Yunran ignored him and continued, "It's time to find a consort for Yuyu."
"Hiss——" Jing Yue took another breath.
"Shut up!"
Empress Yuan gave the emperor a sharp look and the emperor immediately fell silent.
Yuan Yunran was silent for a moment and said, "Ayue, I am the same as you. I don't want Xuanxuan to be the prince consort either."
Jing Yue was stunned.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since Yuan Yunran called him like this.
This tone reminded him of the past, many years ago, when he was not yet the emperor and she was just the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
How could they have imagined at that time that the two people who were clearly married for profit would have a pair of children many years later, and they would be in love with each other.
Thinking of this, Jing Yue chuckled: "I understand. If Xuanxuan doesn't want to get married, no one can force her. If anyone dares to talk about it behind her back, I will... kill his entire family!"
Yuan Yunran: "But, Xiuxiu wants to."
Although they didn't know the details of Jing Xuan's accident this time, they were all experienced people, and their daughter's expression clearly showed that she was deeply moved.
But they don't know who it is.
Jing Yue snorted: "If it's Miss Miss, only the First Young Master can be a good match for her."
"The first young master? General Chu?" Yuan Yunran had also heard about the rumors about the four great young masters of the capital.
"Chu Mo?" Jing Yue looked towards the border and sighed: "If it was Chu Mo, you and I would be relieved, but... no."
As long as the grassland is not pacified, the border will not be safe, and Chu Mo cannot help but guard the border.
It is impossible to let Jing Xuan go to the border, or to let Chu Mo settle down in the capital, so... the two of them are definitely not a match.
Jing Yue: "If I break Chu Mo's wings just because I want Xuanxuan to be happy, the old guy Chu Yi will not let me go. You know his temper. Besides, Ce'er will never agree to it."
"It is more appropriate for my great general to be as unbridled as a wolf or a tiger on the battlefield."
Yuan Yunran covered her lips and chuckled: "You look like you are sure that the two of you will be together."
Jing Yue paused, then laughed: "It's me who's crazy."
How could Xuanxuan have any connection with Chu Mo who was thousands of miles away?
