"Your Highness," the court lady Zhao Tan hurriedly brought in an urgent report, "This is a letter Lu Yuan sent back from Beiyilong City, eight hundred miles away."
Mu Chen Hanyue quickly glanced at the letter and his face darkened.
Tai Zhuo is really good at causing trouble but not helping anything. He even thought of such a stupid method as disguising himself and kidnapping someone!
The Princess Protector of the Country is not a fool. She won’t go around looking for her child if he is lost!
"Your Highness, has something happened?" Zhao Tan saw that Mu Chen Hanyue looked unhappy and asked, "Is the little princess unable to come back?"
"The little princess is now at the Huguo Princess's Mansion in Beiyi Huayang County. It seems I need to go and ask her to come back myself."
Zhao Tan: "This is absolutely unacceptable! You are the crown prince of a country, how can you go to Beiyi in person? Your many princess sisters are all adults. The eldest princess, the third princess, and the fifth princess's husband's family is quite powerful, they may not be content!"
"It doesn't matter, they won't be able to achieve anything!"
After her rebirth, she made arrangements in advance.
Once they have any intention of rebelling, they will be strangled in the cradle!
Her biggest rival is her own sister.
"Your Highness." Zhao Tan saw that Mu Chen Hanyue was determined to go to Beiyi, and continued to persuade him:
"Now that Beiyi and Xirong have gone to war, Beiyi may not be able to hold out for long. Once Xirong breaks through Beiyi's military defenses, Beiyi may ask Dongjun to send troops. Since the two countries are in a marriage relationship, Dongjun will definitely send troops."
"For hundreds of years, we in Beiyi have never sided with any country. Although we have minor conflicts, they will not escalate into military conflict. But you and the little princess are both in Beiyi. Doesn't this give the Beiyi court a good excuse to send troops from Nankun to attack Xirong? Once this precedent is set, the border between Nankun and Xirong will never be stable again..."
Mu Chen Hanyue was shocked. The Princess Huguo was the little princess's adoptive mother. She didn't believe Tai Zhuo's words and didn't let the little princess return to Nankun. Maybe this was the reason.
But at today's court meeting, Xiao Su and others seemed unaware of this.
I think the Princess Huguo has not yet informed the Beiyi court of this matter.
Otherwise, the Beiyi envoy would have sent troops to support Beiyi's related matters today.
The Princess Protector of the Country was an expert doctor. She must have discovered and cured the marrow-eating pill in her sister's body.
The reason for not releasing her was probably out of consideration for the little princess's safety.
"I'll think it over carefully and send someone to keep an eye on the posthouse..."
"Your Highness." At this time, the voice of the head palace maid Wu Ya came from outside the palace. "Madame Qiao requests an audience."
Zhao Tan quickly retreated, and Wu Ya led Nanny Qiao in and politely stepped aside.
"Madame Qiao, why are you here? Does the Queen Mother have any instructions?"
Aunt Qiao bowed and said, "Your Highness, the Empress is worried about the little princess and sent this old servant to ask Your Highness when you can paint the portrait of the little princess in your dream."
Mu Chen Hanyue felt a little sad when she heard this.
In the previous life, my mother favored my younger sister more.
As the eldest sister, she should give in to her younger sisters in everything.
She also likes her sweet-talking, cute and well-behaved sister, and indeed gives in to and pampers her sister in everything.
She was appointed as the Crown Princess at an early age, but because of her special bloodline, the position of heir to the throne had to be given to her.
She is the heir and the eldest, why should I give it to her!
"I will start painting shortly. I will pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow morning. The little princess's portrait will also be sent to Kun Palace."
Aunt Qiao: "Then I will return to Kun Palace and tell the Empress."
Mu Chen Hanyue raised her chin solemnly and said, "Go ahead. Be sure to serve and take good care of our mother."
As Nanny Qiao bowed and retreated, she looked at Mu Chen Hanyue carefully again.
The little prince looks somewhat similar to that girl Xi.
If the little prince smiled, it might look more like it.
Your Highness is just a little too majestic.
Not long after Nanny Qiao left, Mu Chen Hanyue picked up her brush and started painting.
As dusk falls, the fragrance of food fills the Princess's Mansion.
After dinner, Su Xingyi and Xiao Lingyu went to the small bamboo forest behind the lotus pond.
"Xingyi, it's already dark, why hasn't Xiaoxier come back yet?"
She was very anxious because she hadn't seen Xiao Xier for the whole day.
Xiao Lingyu pampered Xiao Xier at the top of his heart and raised her like his own daughter.
She holds Xiao Xier in her arms all day long, bathing and taking naps together, and they have a deep affection for each other.
What if something unexpected happens in Nankun?
"Xiao Yu, don't be anxious. It will be dark before Huanghuang and Xiao Xier can fly back. It's just dark now, so it will take an hour or so for them to fly back. There is a moon tonight, and we should be able to see Huanghuang and Xiao Xier flying back."
Xiao Lingyu looked up at the night sky in the south, and recalled the scene on the full moon night. "You're right, Xiao Xi'er should be back at midnight. Then let's go to the lotus pond and wait for Xiao Xi'er to fly back."
"It's winter now, and your body can't bear it. Let's go back to the room and wait. We won't come out until we see the shadow of the phoenix in the night sky."
“It’s not cold…”
Before Xiao Lingyu could utter a single word, Su Xingyi grabbed her by the waist and carried her back to the main courtyard...
＊
Xiao Xier stayed in Xiao Su's room all afternoon.
So much so that Ye Boxian and others didn't even know of her existence.
Xiao Su was completely bewildered by Xiao Xier's clever words this afternoon.
Xiao Xier finished the last mouthful of chicken soup, wiped her mouth, and glanced at the drunken Xiao Su, "Grandfather, I'm going back. The servants are here to pick me up."
"Grandfather will personally escort you back home."
Xiao Su stood up, felt dizzy, and sat back down.
He just had a few drinks, how come he got drunk? Not only that, he was also very sleepy!
"Grandfather, that's all right. The servants are already waiting at the entrance of the inn. I'll leave now. I'll come to see you the day after tomorrow."
