Mu Duo has really been numbed by the Queen these days.
After Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun went to find Jin Erkan, the queen was completely idle, and then she began to care about his marriage.
Mu Duo followed what Qin Rushuang taught him and pointed at a random girl among the portraits of noble ladies.
He originally wanted to fool the queen, but he didn't expect the queen to actually arrange a kiss for him and call the woman to the Nanman Palace.
Forget it, if the woman had no interest in him, he could still shirk it, but the woman obviously fell in love with Mu Duo.
Mu Duo has been chasing Mu Duo relentlessly these past few days, and with the Queen fanning the flames beside him, Mu Duo only feels that his life is in danger!
And he didn't want to delay the girl's marriage, so he had no choice but to chase Qin Rushuang without saying a word.
Qin Rushuang had a headache and didn't want to get involved in Nanman's housework, but seeing Mu Duo's pleading look on her face, she still softened her heart.
"You have just met your parents, and now you are going to Daqi with me. Isn't it not good? Moreover, you have not yet established a firm foothold in the Nanman Palace..."
Mu Duo curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, my father told me privately that as long as I am willing, he will pass the throne to me in the future, and that brat also got my father's order to train me before, so there is nothing wrong with it."
I believe him."
The bad boy Mu Duo talks about is naturally the handsome little prince.
Mentioning him, Mu Duo had an awkward expression on his face, "After you left, he took the initiative to apologize to me and called me brother. I think he is not bad in nature."
Qin Rushuang nodded, "As long as you know it yourself, you can go to Daqi with me, but you can't stay too long. You still have to go back to see your father."
Mu Duo was happy now, "I know, little senior sister."
While the two were talking, Xie Xun held the child aside and did not speak.
After finishing speaking, Qin Rushuang's eyes drifted to Xie Xun inadvertently, and she was suddenly stunned.
He actually read a bit of envy in Xie Xun's eyes.
On second thought, it's the same.
There were serious conflicts among the princes of the Daqi royal family and they did not trust each other. She once heard the imperial concubine say that those princes were very evil and had practiced intrigues since they were young.
When he was young, Xie Xun also looked forward to the relationship between brothers and sisters, but what happened later...
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t stop.
On the other hand, in the Southern Barbarian royal family, the eldest prince is heartless, the younger prince is law-abiding, and the little princess is smart and cute. Even the Southern Barbarian King has few concubines in his harem.
In contrast, Xie Xun is indeed a bit pitiful.
…
The group of people quickly returned to Da Qi's military camp. It was a coincidence that they had just returned to the military camp. Before they had time to rest, soldiers came to report the news.
"Your Majesty, a letter from the palace. Your Majesty is seriously ill."
When Qin Rushuang heard the news, her eyes darkened.
She originally wanted to wait a little longer with Nanman, but now it seems that she has to leave for the palace.
They didn't bring many troops this time, so it was easy to pack them up.
He left as soon as he could, resting for only one day in the military camp. Early the next morning, he took the troops with him and prepared to return to the court.
When they gradually left the southern barbarians and the temperature dropped sharply, Qin Rushuang realized that it was already winter.
As he walked toward Kyoto, the temperature got lower. Xie Xun had to stop twice to buy cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers, and personally selected warm clothes for Qin Rushuang.
And the baby was wrapped up like a little rice dumpling.
The baby has now begun to learn to speak. A few days ago, he suddenly developed the bad habit of biting his fingers and biting his spoon. After a few days, Qin Rushuang discovered that he had actually grown a small deciduous tooth.
On the way back, they walked a little faster, and soon arrived in Kyoto.
Xie Xun took his troops and horses back to the camp and reported to Emperor Qi about the war at the southern barbarian border.
Qin Rushuang returned to Prince Huai's Mansion with Mu Duo and the child.
As soon as she returned to the gate of Prince Huai's Mansion, Qin Rushuang saw Qian Ertong waiting at the gate.
Seeing her old friend, Qin Rushuang smiled, walked up and asked, "At this time, you are not working in the Hanlin Academy, so why are you waiting for me in person?"
Qian Ertong looked more stable than before. He was wearing an official robe, and his whole temperament was completely different from before. Even when he was sitting in a wheelchair, his demeanor had changed.
A waiter followed behind him. When he saw Qin Rushuang coming, he quickly pushed Qian Ertong over.
Qian Ertong sat in a wheelchair and saluted Qin Rushuang.
"Today is a day for rest. The Hanlin Academy has some matters to deal with. Now that it's over, I'll wait for the princess."
Qin Rushuang looked around and didn't see Qingzhi, so she asked, "Where's Qingzhi, how is she these days?"
Qian Ertong twitched his lips, smiled a little reluctantly, and said, "It's not bad. At first, I didn't have to wait in front of the princess. It was a bit uncomfortable, but now it's much better. She will come to visit the princess tomorrow."
It was inconvenient to talk at the door, so Qin Rushuang took Qian Ertong into Prince Huai's Mansion.
After Qian Ertong told her what happened in the court after they left, Qin Rushuang learned that Qian Ertong had done so many things during her absence.
When he first entered the Hanlin Academy, because he was someone close to Qin Rushuang, everyone knew it tacitly, and because he had been recommended by Mr. Lin Ge, no one dared to be presumptuous with him, but he still looked down upon him in his heart.
But Qian Ertong had worked hard in the mall over the years and developed the ability to get along with others. It didn't take long for him to warm the hearts of his colleagues, and he learned a lot about Emperor Qi's preferences from them.
.
Now that Emperor Qi is old, he is less and less able to listen to other people's different opinions, and likes those who wholeheartedly support him.
As for the editors of the Hanlin Academy, they were not allowed to see Emperor Qi. Qian Ertong thought of a way and showed his face in front of Emperor Qi once. Only once, he firmly captured Emperor Qi's heart.
Now, he has been transferred by Emperor Qi to serve on the pen and ink.
Qin Rushuang was a little emotional after hearing this.
"I originally thought that no one would help you after I left, but I didn't expect that you would get along like a fish in water."
The two talked about some matters above the court. Qian Ertong told Qin Rushuang that the situation of Emperor Qi was indeed very bad.
I can't get out of bed these days, and the elixirs from the Taoist priests around the Fourth Prince are not very useful.
Things in the palace couldn't be rushed. Qin Rushuang only made some inquiries before turning the topic to Qingzhi.
She wanted to ask when she was at the gate of the palace.
According to Qingzhi's character, after being separated for such a long time, if he knew whether she would come back, he might not come to greet her.
"Tell me honestly, what happened to Qingzhi? What happened during my absence?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Qian Ertong's face.
He whispered: "It's my fault. I focused all my energy on the court and dealing with those people, and I paid less attention to her. She..."
Qian Ertong's voice paused, and then he continued: "The princess just returned to the palace today. I shouldn't bother you, but if there is nothing else, please ask the princess to come back to the palace with me to see Qingzhi...
