Chapter 232 I am your mother’s old friend
After the court session.
On the way back to the palace, Xiao Jing listened to the secret guard's report on the big show that was performed in the marquis' mansion early in the morning.
The smile on his lips was playful, and he tapped the back of his hand lightly with his index finger: "It seems that my governor will not be able to attend court for a few days."
The secret guard thought for a moment before saying, "The governor is seriously injured, with new injuries stacked on top of old ones. He is naturally unable to relieve Your Majesty's worries for the time being."
The smile on Xiao Jing's lips deepened, and then he said, "Then follow me out of the palace."
The secret guard thought Xiao Jing was going to see Ye Yunchu.
Logically speaking, the emperor was not allowed to leave the palace at will. The palace was heavily guarded, and it was not allowed to leave once he stepped out of the majestic palace gate.
Even if he brought many people with him, he was still afraid that the emperor would be harmed because of his noble status.
But the rules obviously could not restrain Xiao Jing, a king with extraordinary means and who had the final say.
No one can stop him from doing anything he wants.
Just like at this moment, the secret guards did not dare to stop him, but just lowered their heads and quickly arranged all matters related to the emperor's leaving the palace.
Xiao Jing changed into casual clothes, used the identity of the Eighth Prince, and rode out of the palace in a carriage.
It was not until the secret guard saw the two words "Li Mansion" that he realized that Xiao Jing was not here to see Ye Yunchu.
She actually came to look for Ye Yunchu's concubine again, just like before, carrying Ye Yunchu on her back.
Secret Guard: “…”
How come this concubine has been away for four years and has been stirring up trouble for only two days since she came back?
First, he asked the prince to divorce his wife, and then he asked Xiao Jing to come and see him in person.
If Xiao Jing wanted to see Li Runrun, he only needed to let the message go, and Li Runrun, a commoner, would have bathed, burned incense, and gone to see him with gratitude.
Why do you have to come in person like this? Wouldn't this bring disgrace to the Li Mansion?
Or maybe Xiao Jing just likes to meet Li Runrun secretly.
This secretly...
That’s true. If he were to be summoned directly, the person in the Marquis’ Mansion would not be able to hide it.
The secret guards thought about it in many ways, but they couldn't guess the emperor's mind.
The secret guard was the first to cross the high wall, go down to knock down the gate, and open the door from the inside.
According to the intelligence from the secret guards, unlike Ye Yunchu who had to climb through a dog hole, His Majesty entered through the main gate in a proper manner.
swagger.
This shows the difference in status.
Li Runrun had just woken up and was still a little lazy. She didn't have the energy to eat breakfast.
Li Runrun plans to stay at home and rest instead of going anywhere today.
When Ye Qiaoqiao arrived, she found that the door of the Li Mansion was open, and she couldn't help but frown.
This is how it is in this new house. The servants are always sneaky and don't even close the door. There is no discipline at all.
I must tell Ruanruan later and send two powerful managers to Ruanruan to give these lazy people a good scolding.
What needs to be sold should be sold, this lazy stuff cannot be kept.
Ye Qiaoqiao walked inside and saw Menzi sleeping against the door.
It's getting bolder and bolder.
Ye Qiaoqiao was so angry that she quickly went to find Li Ruanruan.
But halfway through, she saw a man squatting in the garden and talking to Tiantian.
A sweet and soft voice: "It's already winter, why are you still holding a fan?"
"This? Because it looks good."
"Let me see it."
"No, can you carry it?"
"You underestimate me too much, Nuo, look."
Tiantian imitated Xiao Jing's tone, then unfolded the fan and touched the gold-thread embroidery on it: "This one is also embroidered very well, but my mother's embroidery is better."
"Where is your mother? Take me...I'll go find your mother, okay?"
"Who are you to my mother?"
"Well, to be honest, he's an old friend of your mother's. That year, I almost married your mother."
"I haven't heard mother talk about it."
"Because I am the one your mother has hidden in her heart, I will not tell you about it."
"You're lying. The only person mother keeps in her heart is father."
"What about your dad?"
"Dad is a high-ranking official. Dad is very busy. Dad is not here."
"I'm busy too. I hold a higher position than your father, but I'm here to see your mother."
Tiantian looked at Xiao Jing and pouted for a long time. Children just don't like outsiders saying bad things about their parents.
No matter how good-looking this person is, or how much he meets her aesthetic standards, it won’t work.
Tiantian curled her lips and turned her back, no longer looking at Xiao Jing, looking angry.
Xiao Jing had never been treated so harshly by anyone before, not even by her mother. She was always cautious whenever she saw him. His daughter, on the other hand, was incredibly bold, a baby, a soft miniature pear, and even when she got angry, she was incredibly adorable.
Small glutinous rice balls, white and tender.
Xiao Jing gently reached out and pulled her arm, trying to coax her: "Why are you ignoring me?"
"You're bad."
"Interesting, what's wrong with me? Tell me."
"You said you were Mom's favorite person, you're lying. Mom's favorite is Daddy. Daddy is also very good. You are not allowed to say bad things about Daddy."
The little girl is quite smart.
"I didn't say anything bad about your father. I was telling the truth. If you don't believe me, take me to ask your mother. Okay?"
Tiantian folded her arms and looked at Xiao Jing. After a while, she nodded vigorously: "Then I will take you to see mother."
Xiao Jing pinched the sweet little face and thought to himself, children are easy to coax after all.
And just like that, the pears were sold.
Ye Qiaoqiao felt that this person looked familiar.
I couldn't remember it for a moment and stood there staring blankly for a long time.
It wasn't until Xiao Jing turned around holding Tiantian's hand that Ye Qiaoqiao knelt down in panic.
