Jing Shengshi was startled. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "When did you come?"
"Just now." Mu Qingran was a little more specific. "They said they could bribe me with money to help you save the Second Prince."
Mu Qingran glanced at Jing Shengshi sideways, "But that stupid pig gave me the potion, so you don't need me anymore."
"Sister Qingran, come in and sit down." Jing Shengshi walked to the table and poured a cup of hot tea. "It's scary to sit by the window in the middle of the night."
"You...feel guilty?"
Jing Shengshi shook his head: "Why are you feeling guilty?" He said calmly, "Sister Qingran's medical skills are so good, everyone in the General's Mansion thinks you are amazing."
"Just investigating me because of my medical skills?"
"What else?" Jing Shengshi asked back.
"Okay." Mu Qingran replied with two words, jumped down from the window, turned around and left.
Jing Shengshi rushed to the window, looked at Mu Qingran who was walking away, and patted his wildly beating heart with his hand.
He didn't understand why Mu Qingran came, and naturally he didn't understand what Mu Qingran was thinking.
After closing the window, Jing Shengshi lay on the bedding, staring at the porcelain vase and thinking uncontrollably.
I wonder if what my aunt said is true?
In the morning, a light drizzle began to fall.
After the morning court.
The old lady held Jing Qiaoqiao in her arms and entered the palace with her son, daughter-in-law and Jing Shengshi.
Meet the emperor in the side hall.
When the old emperor saw the lady he had bestowed upon him kneeling before him, he quickly arranged for the chief eunuch to find a seat for old lady Yang Ruzhen.
"What is the reason for the old lady to come to see me this time?"
The old lady didn't dare to sit down.
Kneel on the ground respectfully.
The old emperor was informed of the divorce between his granddaughter Jing Shenglian and the Earl's son Yang Sheng.
The old emperor put down the memorial in his hand and looked calmly at Old Madam Yang Ruzhen below him.
"When I granted them this marriage, I simply hoped they would finally be together. I never imagined this would be the outcome..."
The old emperor wouldn't be furious about this, after all, the Earl's Mansion is related to my mother.
[And the people in the Earl's Mansion don't know that my father fought on the battlefield, made great contributions to His Majesty, and even held a golden medal of immunity from death.]
[Besides, Yang Sheng isn't a fool who would like to make a big fuss about his special hobby in Kyoto.]
[Even though he clearly has the Second Prince as his backer, Yang Sheng hasn't come looking for him. This means he definitely hasn't seen the Second Prince. So, there's nothing to worry about.]
Jing Qiaoqiao was lying in the cradle, playing with her feet leisurely.
Soon, the shadow fell.
At some point, the old emperor came forward.
Looking down at her.
His expression was full of love and affection.
He said, "This... is the old lady's little daughter who was born not long ago, right?"
The old lady responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"You really look like General Jing." The old emperor reached out and held Jing Qiaoqiao in his arms.
He gently pinched Jing Qiaoqiao's nose with his fingers and said, "As cute as my princess."
At this point, he turned around and asked, "By the way, old lady, what is the child's name?"
The old lady prostrated herself and replied, "Jing Qiaoqiao."
"Qiaoqiao, well, you are really pretty." The old emperor gently patted Jing Qiaoqiao's little hand.
Jing Qiaoqiao glanced at the jade ring on the old emperor's thumb and her eyes lit up.
[As expected, the old emperor is a wealthy man. This jade ring is worth at least several thousand gold.]
The people of the Jing family who were kneeling below said: Damn it, Qiaoqiao has set her eyes on the jade ring on His Majesty’s finger.
However, the old emperor saw this scene and smiled happily: "Qiaoqiao is holding my finger, could it be that she likes me?"
[Ah, please stop being so narcissistic. I like the jade ring on your thumb. The color and texture are so good, it can be sold for a lot of money.]
[Who would like an old man like you?]
Everyone in the Jing family choked. If His Majesty heard this, they would surely be executed along with all nine generations of their clan.
"Old Madam, look, your daughter really likes me very much."
Old Lady: Fortunately he can’t hear
The old emperor held Jing Qiaoqiao in his arms and lowered his head.
"I have many princesses, but this is the first time that someone like Qiaoqiao, who is so young, has grabbed my fingers and won't let go."
[What a joke! If it wasn't for the jade ring, would I have grabbed your hand so hard?]
The old lady was worried that Qiaoqiao might scratch the old emperor, and her heart was in her throat.
"Since Qiaoqiao and I are destined to be together, I will confer upon her the title of Princess Jixiang."
[Just hold hands and you're crowned a princess? Yeah, that's great. Not only do you get money, but you also have status.]
【My God, this is great news. Please accept my order quickly.】
The old lady prostrated herself without hesitation and said, "Your Majesty, I bow to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Yue came to the side hall with cakes.
At a glance, he saw the kneeling members of the Jing family.
But she didn't stay long. She glanced at Jing Shengshi and left in a hurry.
Everyone in the Jing family was quite curious and didn't understand what she was up to.
But when they met His Majesty and were about to leave the palace, they were stopped by the maidservant beside Concubine Yue in the imperial garden.
Concubine Yue's personal maid said that the concubine wanted to see Master Jingsheng Shi.
"The Imperial Concubine wants to see me?"
Having guessed it long ago, Jing Shengshi did not panic, but just asked calmly and casually.
Besides, my aunt said that Concubine Yue is a different person.
It was a rare opportunity for him to come to the palace, so he just happened to meet her.
Look at the peculiarity of Concubine Yue.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, Uncle and Aunt, I'm leaving first."
