Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang came down from the high platform of the emperor's bedroom and followed the nanny to the palace where Concubine Yu lived.
Imperial Concubine Yu had been waiting anxiously in the palace. When she saw the young couple coming in, she didn't care about etiquette and stood up from the couch. She walked a few steps to Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Are you Linglong?"
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't look at Concubine Yu's face, but she looked at her height and estimated that she was at least 170cm tall. "Aunt," Yu Xiaoxiao asked Concubine Yu, "Are your sisters, uh, my aunts, all the same height as you?"
Concubine Yu was stunned for a long time by Yu Xiaoxiao's question, then nodded and said, "They are about the same."
Yu Xiaoxiao sighed. Now she felt relieved. The genes of the women in the Yu family were not short, so her small body would grow into a tall one day.
Concubine Yu said, "Princess, let your aunt take a good look at you."
Yu Xiaoxiao stood up straight and said, "Look."
Concubine Yu..., isn't this conversation wrong?
Gu Xinglang bowed respectfully to Concubine Yu.
Seeing Gu Xinglang kneeling down, Concubine Yu quickly stretched out her hands to support her nephew-in-law and said, "Hurry, get up."
Gu Xinglang stood up from the ground, bowed and saluted to Concubine Yu again, and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor misses you very much. I am here to bring you a message, saying that I hope you are well. As long as your Majesty and His Majesty the Seventh Prince are well, the emperor will be at ease."
Gu Xinglang's words made Concubine Yu's eyes red. She was forced to marry far away. Didn't she resent Xianzong, her fourth brother? She could lie to others, but Concubine Yu couldn't lie to herself. At that time, she wanted to run into a wall and die under the South Gate of Fengjing. Now her youth has long passed, Concubine Yu has forgotten what her homeland looks like, so what is there to hate?
"My lady," Gu Xinglang said, "are you all right?"
Concubine Yu sighed, and the words turned around her lips for a few times before she said, "I'm fine. Is Your Majesty okay?"
Gu Xinglang bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is in good health, he is just worried about Your Majesty."
Yu Xiaoxiao had never heard Xianzong say that he missed her aunt. She curled her lips and decided to let Gu Xinglang pretend to be affectionate with her aunt. She should focus on caring for this little cousin who was like a little animal. She grabbed Li Yan's collar and sat on a chair beside him.
Li Yi looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and saw that she was still timid.
Yu Xiaoxiao put the child on the ground in front of her, patted the child on the back, and said, "Stand still. I'm not going to hit you. What are you afraid of?"
Li Yan said, "Cousin."
Yu Xiao: "Yeah."
Li Yi looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and stopped talking again.
Yu Xiaoxiao waited for a long time, but the little animal didn't speak, so she said, "I'll go, if you have something to say, just say it."
Li Yi pinched his fingers.
Yu Xiao: "Do you want me to beat that Jing Cheng to death for you?"
Li Yi shook his head.
Yu Xiaoxiao was surprised and said, "Don't want to?"
Li Yan said: "She didn't hit me either."
Yu Xiao: "Who said she didn't do it? Aren't there two guards trying to arrest you?"
Li Yan looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and smiled, saying, "They won't hit me, I will run away."
Gu Xinglang was a general, Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei were secret guards, the boss and his gang were pirates, and even Nanny Wang was a strong and powerful woman who had her way. This was the first time Yu Xiaoxiao had met a pacifist since she came to this world. For a moment, Yu Xiaoxiao's thoughts stagnated, and she didn't know what to do.
Seeing that Yu Xiaoxiao stopped talking, Li Yi waited patiently, showing neither curiosity nor anxiety.
"Well," Yu Xiaoxiao lifted the child towards her again and said, "Tell me the truth, do you want to be the emperor?"
Concubine Yu was talking sadly to Gu Xinglang. After hearing Yu Xiaoxiao's question, Concubine Yu looked at Yu Xiaoxiao while wiping her tears, her mouth half open, unable to speak.
Li Yi seemed to be frightened, and said to Yu Xiao in a trembling voice: "Cousin, you can't talk about this."
Yu Xiao: "Why not?"
"He will die!" Li Yi and Yu Xiaoxiao said anxiously, tears welling up in their eyes.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Concubine Yu and said, "Aunt, with a man like him, you still want to become the queen?" Even if her little cousin sat on the throne, he would scare himself to death, right?
Concubine Yu looked around nervously. If these words were heard by others, she and Li Yan would definitely die!
"Princess," Gu Xinglang shook his head at Yu Xiaoxiao, and then said to Concubine Yu: "Princess, I just said it unintentionally, Your Majesty, don't worry about it."
Imperial Concubine Yu's lips trembled for a long time, and she said, "The Seventh Prince is still young."
Yu Xiao: "Young? You look old at the age of 18. Auntie, your struggle is completely meaningless. Just give up."
Concubine Yu's lips trembled even more violently, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't speak.
Li Yan ran to stand behind Gu Xinglang.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang: "What does he mean by this? Is his self-esteem hurt?"
Gu Xinglang sighed, pulled Li Yan in front of him, half squatted down and said, "Seventh Prince, the Princess was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Yu Xiaoxiao came over, picked up the child, and sat on another chair.
"Princess," Gu Xinglang walked to the chair, trying to rescue Li Yi, who was curled up into a ball.
"Xiao Gu," Yu Xiao said, "What's the point of lying to a child at a time like this? Let's just tell the truth."
Gu Xinglang..., what truth do they have to say?
Concubine Yu also came over at this time and said, "Linglong, what truth do you want to tell?"
Yu Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and said, "Aunt, I don't think Li Yan is suitable to be an emperor."
Concubine Yu's body was stiff, and suddenly she smiled, a bleak smile.
Yu Xiao: "I know that becoming an emperor is the ultimate goal of the emperors, but this is unrealistic for your mother. Even a prisoner in the palace can bully my cousin, your status is a bit low."
Concubine Yu said: "Everything depends on human effort."
"What?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said: "Princess, the Queen wants to give it a try."
"What are you trying?" Yu Xiaoxiao said anxiously, "Do you have any soldiers in Zhuque?"
Concubine Yu...
Yu Xiao: "The Four Emperors have military power, and they are so miserable. How can you struggle, aunt? You killed Li Xiaoyuan's sons and only Li Yan is left. You will definitely be the queen. Do you want to do this?"
"I don't want it!" Li Yi screamed before Concubine Yu could say anything.
"Look," Yu Xiaoxiao covered Li Yan's mouth and said to Concubine Yu, "You scared the kid like this. Be kind. Palace fighting is really not for you."
Concubine Yu..., what did she say? How scared did she make the kid?
"I think we should do this," Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Concubine Yu and said seriously, "Pack up your valuables and take Xiaodong, no, take Li Yan with me back to Fengtian. You look no more than 20 years old. Let's find another good man. Do you think this is okay?"
