There was a ring lying quietly in the small wooden box. The overall appearance was the same as the one she wore on her hand. The difference was in the size of the ring and the word "天" she deliberately carved on the inside of the ring.
"Your Majesty, extend your left hand."
She held the ring and looked at Xiao Mingxuan.
Although Xiao Mingxuan didn't understand why she specifically asked her to stretch out her left hand, he still obediently stretched out her left hand.
Luo Jiuli held onto his finger and slowly put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
"On the ring finger of our left hand, there is a blood vessel directly connected to the heart. For a couple who will stay together for life, wearing a ring on the ring finger means that they are in love with each other and that their souls are connected, and -"
Luo Jiuli looked up at him.
"It also means that the prince is a master. Those girls outside can only watch from a distance, not approach."
Xiao Mingxuan looked at her with a small smile in his eyes, then stretched out his hand and clasped her finger with the ring.
"Well, I am yours, and you are mine."
Although I don’t know where she got the weird idea of wearing a ring.
But it's not bad. He likes the words about a couple who stays together for life and has a mutual heart and soul.
He hugged her, lowered his head and asked in her ear.
"When will we return to the palace?"
In the Duke's Mansion, there are some things that you have to worry about with all the people in the courtyard.
Although he couldn't do more substantial things with her when he returned to the palace, he could feel that life had a flavor when he could hold her to sleep and have her by his side.
Luo Jiuli looked out the window, it was already dark.
"I want to wait until my eldest brother returns home before leaving."
As soon as Luo Jiuli finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, followed by Nan Zhu's voice.
"Your Majesty, Master, Commander Qin is back."
Xiao Mingxuan glanced at Luo Jiuli and said outside the door:
"Let him in."
"yes."
Nan Zhu left, but after a while, the door was pushed open, and Qin Yin stood outside the bedroom with his head lowered.
"Master, the Emperor has agreed to grant a marriage to Commander Luo and the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Soon, the marriage decree will be conveyed to both houses."
"It's done."
Luo Jiuli was excited and smiled brightly. She really didn't expect the emperor to be so powerful.
This is the rhythm of fighting in the ring with the Queen Mother and tearing each other up.
Seeing her smiling so happily, Xiao Mingxuan's eyes were dyed with a soft smile.
"Where is Commander Luo?"
Qin Yin said:
"After Commander Luo sent the eldest daughter of the Shen family back to the Shen Mansion, he returned to the palace urgently."
"Back to the palace?"
Xiao Mingxuan pondered the meaning of these words.
"Do you know why you are so anxious?"
Qin Yin shook his head.
"I don't know, but I saw King Zhao hurriedly entering the palace at the palace gate."
"Did King Zhao enter the palace so late?"
Luo Jiuli frowned.
"Is there something big going on?"
Xiao Mingxuan shook his head and ordered simply and neatly.
"Go and find out."
"yes."
Qin Yin turned and left.
Luo Jiuli was still wondering why King Zhao entered the palace so late, and saw Xiao Mingxuan looking down at her.
"Your eldest brother still has to be on duty in the palace. It seems that he won't be able to see you tonight."
"Um."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"Then go back to the palace."
Xiao Mingxuan was waiting for her words and shouted out the door.
"Southern candle, southern star."
"Your Majesty."
Nan Zhu and Nan Xing entered the house at the door.
"Pack your things and go back to the palace."
"yes."
Nan Zhu and Nan Xing were still betting on whether the master would return to the palace with the prince or stay at the Duke's palace.
Now it seems...Nan Zhu winked at Nan Xing.
Nan Xing rolled his eyes at her and entered the room to start packing his things.
Nan Zhu was not annoyed and followed him into the house with a smile.
Outside the Duke's palace, the Duke's wife held her daughter's hand. Although she told her to put the prince first and be cautious in everything when she entered the palace, her frown was really disturbing.
Luo Jiuli felt heartbroken.
"Mother, the palace is not far from the Duke's palace. After this period of time, my daughter will come back to accompany her mother."
The Duke's wife nodded, took her to a place with few people, and lowered her voice.
"The palace has heard some rumors about the affairs in the palace. Fortunately, you are in the palace, and the two people in the palace are still afraid of the Ninth Prince and don't dare to seek any trouble against you."
"Now, what makes matters worse is that although your eldest brother and the Shen girl got the emperor's golden words, they completely offended those two people. Our Duke's Mansion..."
The Duke's wife frowned and sighed.
"I have also been completely involved in this fight. I'm afraid that from now on, if I want to live a peaceful life, I'm afraid I won't be able to."
"Mother."
Luo Jiuli held her mother's hand and comforted her.
"Didn't my father and mother also envision the current situation?"
"After all, my father is in such a position, and now he has returned to the capital to accompany you. The eldest brother has become the commander of the imperial army. The second brother will definitely become an official once he passes the exam in the spring of next year. By then, our country will
How can the government protect itself alone?"
"Besides, it is difficult to provide help in times of need, but it is easier to add icing on the cake. Loyalty will be recognized in times of adversity."
"We might as well relax and just be good generals and loyal ministers, taking it as our duty to assist the dynasty and the country. As for those bad things, we have someone higher up to take care of them."
As soon as she said this, the Duke's wife was so shocked that she remained silent for a long time.
She always thought that her daughter only had the love, hatred and resentment of her daughter's family in her heart, but she never thought that she also had a rift in her heart.
"Okay! Okay! My daughter has grown up, she has really grown up."
The Duke's wife patted Luo Jiuli's hand.
"Now, mother is really relieved."
After the mother and daughter finished talking about themselves, they returned to the carriage.
"Master, Second Miss, it's getting late."
The driver this time was Mo Han.
Knowing that Luo Jiuli would follow his master back to the palace, Mo Han prepared the carriage early and waited outside the Duke's palace.
Luo Jiuli said goodbye to his parents and second brother, and got into the carriage.
Until the wheels rolled and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
The Duke is still standing there, feeling really uncomfortable.
As a father, his daughter is worried about her leaving the house and living in someone else's house, under the protection of another man. She is feeling gloomy and full of worries.
"Stop looking and go back home."
The Duke's wife stood with him in the wind for a while.
"Jiu'er hasn't gotten married yet, and he just lives in someone else's house. Will there be rumors outside? Are we parents a little irresponsible?"
The Duke's wife choked for a while before she raised her eyelids and exhaled heavily.
"Back in Da Sima's Mansion, Jiu'er once said in front of the Emperor, the Queen Mother and so many people that since the day of reconciliation, she had been prepared to be discussed. She also said that in this world, it is difficult for everyone to agree.
Nan Yue, she doesn’t care at all if she has her mouth on other people’s bodies, no matter what she says.”
