Chapter 878: Loyalty Is Offended

This is also a smart man with a very good brain. Perhaps he wanted to show his face in front of the emperor, so he repeated all the conversations he heard just outside the dormitory.

After he finished speaking, it took a long time for the emperor to wave his hand.

Mr. Yi quickly kicked the young **** out.

The emperor sighed and said, "Fu Niu'er is really a good child. It's no wonder that my cousin loves her as his own daughter.

“Smart, kind, filial and sensible, the most important thing is that this child is thoughtful and grateful.

“If the third princess is half as sensible as she is, I won’t have to worry about family affairs after having to worry about government affairs.”

The Marquis was also extremely proud and happy in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, he asked for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, Fu Niu'er is young and doesn't understand the importance of her words. Please don't blame me."

The emperor smiled helplessly, "Cousin, don't be so careful. The so-called loyal words are offensive to the ears. Fu Niuer really wanted the third princess to wake up, so she said it so bluntly.

"She is sincere, and I am very pleased. It was the right thing to ask her to persuade the third princess."

After saying that, he told Manager Yi, “Go to the warehouse and pick out some good things for the princess, especially the fabric jewelry that the little girl likes!

“There are also the gems that came into the palace a few days ago. I have selected them and put them in a box. If the jewelry is not what you want, let this girl make it herself.

“By the way, there are also two hundred taels of gold ingots, this girl likes gold!”

Manager Yi saw that the emperor was really happy, so he agreed with a smile and hurried to prepare.

So Jiayin was bored in the carriage and eating snacks. When she finally waited for her adoptive father, she saw a group of young eunuchs following behind him, carrying a lot of things.

To this end, the palace specially allocated a carriage to carry these rewards.

As soon as the Marquis got into the car, Jiayin immediately came over and asked in a low voice: "Father, why did you make Uncle Huang happy and robbed so many good things?"

The Marquis smiled, ruffled her hair, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, those are gifts given to you by the Emperor."

“For me?” Jiayin was so surprised that she understood it with her big eyes blinking twice.

It must have been the matter of persuading the third princess just now that reached the ears of the emperor.

She thought about it carefully and found that although the words were too "intense", there seemed to be nothing taboo about it, so she felt relieved.

"If I had known that there would be such a reward for persuading the third princess, I would have gone a long time ago!" Jiayin peeled an orange to quench her adoptive father's thirst, and was gearing up to receive the gift.

The Marquis slowly ate the orange and asked, "I have to go to the Ministry of War in a while. Are you going back to the shop or to Broken Gold Beach?"

“Let’s go back to the shop first. If there’s nothing else to do, we’ll go back to Suijintan. Grandma and mother are not here, so I have to walk around to make everyone feel at ease.”

"Okay, Fu Niu'er is really a big girl now, so she doesn't need to worry about her adoptive father." The Marquis smiled, patted the little girl, and said, "Prepare some more dishes in the evening. I'll find your second uncle and Mr. Wen after I finish my work." Let’s go back and eat together.”

“Okay.” Jiayin responded with a smile.

Soon we arrived at Tiantian Fruit and Vegetables, and the business in the shop was still good. From time to time, customers would come out of the right door carrying exquisite baskets.

Although the wallet is empty, the elderly and children will be happy when they return home, and the guests will feel that everything is worth it.

Jiaren and others were still in the backyard and did not leave. They were relieved to see their sister back.

Just in time, Cyclamen brought a food box, and everyone had lunch together.

The good news didn't say much about the affairs in the palace, and no one asked about it.

After dinner, Jiaren and others left. Jiayin gave Zhao Hui a few words and returned to Suijintan with the reward.

The sun is not bad today, there is no wind blowing snow particles, just the dry cold.

Jiayin saw that there was no one on the road, so he went to sit on the shaft of the car for a while.

Shui Yun and Shui Ling couldn't stop them, so they spoke to the people in front of them.

Mu Jue signaled the veteran to ride a horse, then took the reins and asked Jiayin to sit on the other side of the carriage. The air in winter is the best brain-awakening drug. One breath of it makes you feel energetic.

Jiayin wrapped her cloak tightly around her, and her dizziness from the charcoal gas in the car immediately improved a lot.

Mu Jue saw her huddled in the white fox fur, with a small face as big as a palm, big eyes blinking, and long eyelashes trembling. She was so cute and pretty, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Jiayin noticed it and asked, "Is there charcoal ash on my face?"

Mu Jue coughed twice and pretended to caress the top of her head, "It seems like there are some shells stuck to her hair!"

Jiayin hurriedly lowered his head twice and said in annoyance: "It must have been brought out when the third princess was eating chestnuts.

“The third princess must have found out, but she didn’t tell me. Cheapskate!

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have advised her. I would have let her cry her eyes into rotten peaches!"

Mu Jue was curious when he heard this and asked: "The third princess is such a noble person, but she still feels aggrieved when she is raised in an ivory tower?"

"Huh!" Jiayin rolled her eyes and whispered, "What a grievance, it's just hypocrisy!"

After saying that, she briefly explained the "grievances" of the third princess.

Mu Jue was also speechless, his eyes full of ridicule.

“Sure enough, it’s hypocrisy! She’s well-dressed and well-fed, surrounded by servants, but she still feels pitiful? If she were to live my life once, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to survive a day.”

Jiayin was originally curious about Mu Jue's identity. After all, the person who could make her adoptive father take a fancy to her and give her as a guard was definitely not an ordinary person.

But she asked several times, but her adoptive father refused to say anything.

It was hard to keep up the conversation this time. Now that it's come to this point, how can she let it go!

So, she rolled her eyes and asked: "What is your 'day'?"

Seeing the curiosity in her eyes, Mu Jue hesitated and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my father died and my mother died but I didn't, it's just revenge."

Jiayin’s words were all choked in his throat and he couldn’t say a word.

She can't do it by stepping on other people's pain points to satisfy her own curiosity.

So, she quickly thought about changing the topic.

Just in time, when we arrived near the second village, Xiao Cuier and some women were walking along the roadside. When they saw the princess's carriage, they quickly surrounded them.

Jiayin thought for a while and asked Mu Jue to stop the car. She jumped out and asked, "Where are the aunts going?"

Xiao Cui quickly replied, "The princess is back! It's already the twelfth lunar month, and snacks will be baked soon. We thought we could come over in advance to clean up, wipe the dust, and light up the stove."

This is a reminder of the good news. It is the habit of the villagers to start preparing for meals in the twelfth lunar month.

Every family can make sticky bean buns, sticky pancakes, jujube steamed buns, residual oil cakes and twists.

However, due to the large quantity of snacks included in the New Year's gift, a baking room is required.

She thought for a moment and then said: "It's okay for the aunts to tidy it up. I've made a snack list in the past few days and asked people to prepare the ingredients.

“At that time, I have to work hard for my aunts to bake more. We have been busy for a year, so we can share a few more snacks and change the taste.”

"Oh, Princess, don't say that. We should do some work! The Chinese New Year is just for fun, so it would be nice to be more busy!" Xiao Cui said quickly.

The women were also chattering about which of the past years’ dim sum was delicious and which was labor-intensive and expensive.

After chatting lively for a while, the good news is that we are about to return to our old home.

Unexpectedly, a young daughter-in-law suddenly walked forward and whispered: "The young lady has a request. I wonder if the princess can listen to it?"
