Xuanyuan Jie glanced at the two of them and felt that they were not lying. But, who else could it be other than the three brothers?
The three of them had the same question on their minds at the same time and felt that things shouldn't be that simple.
"Second Brother, who do you think did this?" Xuanyuan Yu could not hold his anger any longer and immediately asked.
Xuanyuan Jie shook his head, for the time being, he could not figure out who had done this good deed.
However, Xuanyuan Ye did think of a person, a person that he hated the most. Ye Zichen looked at his big brother nervously, while his face was filled with anger.
Xuanyuan Jie was able to tell at a glance who his third brother was suspecting. With his fourth brother remaining silent, he flung his sleeves and turned around. "I'm tired. I'm going back to rest."
"Take care, second brother!" Xuanyuan Yu cupped his hands and respectfully sent Second Brother off, then looked at Third Brother once more.
Xuanyuan Ye smiled and headed off in the other direction towards second brother. This time, Xuanyuan Yu stood at the doorway in a daze, cursing, "No rush, let's all wait for death!"
The talent show was still going on, but it was just a small but absent-minded process. After watching the beautiful women for three days, the excitement of the first day was completely gone.
It was the same for Xuanyuan Zhenghua as well. He looked at each batch and felt that he was constantly waving them off. The process of going in and out, going in and out, constantly changing, gave him a headache.
In the afternoon, he saw that the final batch of beautiful girls were about to finish their inspection. Finally, there was someone who still looked pleasing to his eyes.
"Little girl, it's been a day. I think this can still be seen." Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he shook the 'little' beside him.
Xiaoxiao also perked up and sized her up from top to bottom. This girl was not bad looking. She looked at the information given by her wife. It said: Meng Ya Er, the daughter of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
That's right! That's right!
After looking through her resume, she felt that this lass wasn't bad. However, when she looked carefully, she found a hidden fierceness in the little girl's eyes. That is to say, this woman who appeared gentle on the surface was likely to be a formidable shrew.
Who is a shrew for?
Hehehe!
She covered her mouth and smiled, nodding her head abruptly.
Xuanyuan Zhenhua had already made up his mind. The little girl gave Eunuch Lin a look and the maidservants all left with her.
"Now that we have a candidate, how should we split the loot?" He looked at Tiny curiously.
"Imperial Father, we will not let each other go. This Meng Ya'er is most suitable …" Xiaosu made a bunch of logical statements, but she was very clear about the gist of it.
Xuanyuan Zhenhua laughed heartily upon hearing this. Eunuch Lin was shocked upon hearing this. When he thought about the expressions of the three princes, he covered his mouth with his sleeve and laughed.
"Alright!" Just as you said, it will be done in three days. " The emperor slapped the table and quickly set the date.
"Three days!" She repeated this word a few times as her heart was cut by something. She felt a faint pain in her heart.
"I think it's too late for three days. These three kids are no joke. They're definitely going to have too much trouble." Xuanyuan Zhenhua didn't believe that the three would surrender so easily and perhaps cause even more trouble.
Xiao Min rolled her eyes and randomly found a suitable excuse: "Imperial Father, the crown prince hasn't returned yet and his three younger brothers are getting married. If he doesn't make it to the scene, I'm afraid …"
The mention of her was nothing more than the pain in his heart. He had already sent someone to look for Qi'er's whereabouts, but there was still no news of her at all.
He had been hiding his sadness these past few days. He didn't want Imperial Concubine Mei to see anything, and he also didn't want the empress to smell any wind, in case something bad happened in the palace.
"Father, you don't have to worry too much. Th-this …" I don't know what to say to comfort my royal father, the Imperial Palace isn't like the Free and Unfettered Residence. He had an older brother there who helped him, so he had to rely on himself for everything.
Seeing that the day of their wedding was approaching, she couldn't let San Ye bring the crown prince back. This time, she could not open her mouth.
"Ai …" "Let's hope that our son will be blessed by the heavens. If he doesn't return, father …" Xuanyuan Zhenhua did not dare to imagine what would happen if Qi'er did not return to the Imperial Palace.
"Your majesty, the crown prince will definitely be fine. Don't worry too much." Eunuch Lin stepped forward to help the emperor up. A wave of comforting words came out of his mouth as he gave a small look to the emperor.
Slightly frowning, these words, no matter what, would make royal father feel sad. Rather than that, it would be better to not say it, in case he said something wrong and caused his royal father to feel even worse.
As she slowly stood up, she started to feel sad. As she played with her fingers, she followed her father out of the Ethereal Palace.
Xuanyuan Zhenhua suddenly stopped his steps and said somewhat sorrowfully, "You have been following royal father around for a whole day and you are tired as well. Here! "Go back and rest early. The time is set to be three days from now. Everyone will follow your wishes, Little Lin. Make the arrangements for the rest."
"Yes sir!" Eunuch Lin replied.
"Father, don't think too much into it. Perhaps … Perhaps the crown prince will return in two days. " The little voice was soft, and as she spoke, she suddenly thought of something. She smiled and said, "Father, why don't you make an imperial edict announcing to the world that the three princes are getting married. Perhaps the Crown Prince will be back soon."
"That's a good idea." Long Yan was overjoyed to finally see a smile on his face as he returned the small item to his small hands. Xuanyuan Zhenhua couldn't wait to write the imperial edict.
"Father, then Xiaoxiao will go back first." Xiaoxiao bowed slightly as she held the little thing's head with a sad expression. She then saw Eunuch Lin glance at her.
Xiaoxiao smiled at Eunuch Lin and said to Xiu-Er, "Xiu-Er, remember to send the medicine to father."
"Yes sir!" Xiu-Er bowed and left with the king.
Xiu-Er had left. Xiaoxiao was still standing there. Who set the fire? Think about how to find a certain someone to bring back so that royal father won't be worried; Think about how to face Xuanyuan Ye in the future?
"Small!" A figure stood in front of Xiaoxiao, causing her to retreat a few steps in surprise.
"A small one greets mufei!" Xiaoxiao bowed and lowered her head.
"What are you thinking so deeply about?" Imperial Concubine Mei waved her hand, and Little Shuang left.
"No …." "Nothing?" He regained his composure and smiled as he raised his head, eating the sweetness of the honey in one gulp. Of course she knew why mufei had appeared. He became very cautious.
"Which girl did the emperor choose for Yu'er?" Imperial Concubine Mei was quite straightforward. She was her daughter-in-law after all. She didn't believe that this little girl wasn't telling the truth.
Xiao Xiao did not hesitate as he shook his head, replying calmly, "In reply to mufei, I have decided on three ladies. Father will make an edict today and have them marry in three days. However, royal father has not determined which one is worthy of the fourth brother. "
"He really didn't say anything?" Imperial Concubine Mei's face darkened.
"Mufei, Fourth Brother is this grandpa's blood related little brother, and you're also this grandpa's mother. How could Xiaoxiao dare to lie to you?" The little girl saw the mufei's face darken and she said another bunch of friendly words. After she finished speaking, she looked around again and whispered, "Imperial Father said just now that he will issue the edict very soon. I hope that the Crown Prince will come back as soon as he sees the edict."
"Does the Emperor really say that?" When it came to Qi'er, Imperial Concubine Mei was not only worried, but also frightened. Those useless things still haven't found the whereabouts of Qi'er. It's probably because …
"Mufei, don't worry too much. Before we entered the palace, Big Brother Feng's Junior Brother told me that the crown prince has always been with Big Brother Feng. "Big Brother Feng's reputation in the martial arts world is great, I will definitely be fine."
Imperial Concubine Mei was surprised that this little girl knew of Qi'er's whereabouts.
Could it be that something had happened outside the palace, and Qi'er had ended up putting some distance between them?
"You didn't lie to mufei?" She didn't seem to be lying.
"How would Xiaoxiao dare to deceive mufei? You are this grandpa's mother, and also my little mother." In the past, she had been a little insensible, and didn't understand that the mufei was good for little things. But when I left the palace this time and saw how cold the world was, and returned to the palace to feel mufei's love, I felt a little ashamed of myself. " The one with the small act was so perfect that even Imperial Concubine Mei was moved by it.
Imperial Concubine Mei nodded with satisfaction. It was not in vain for her to spend so much effort on this little girl, finally turning the wild cat into a little sheep. At least, she could do it when facing him.
Showing her motherly affection, she grabbed her little hand. "Okay! For one more child to be filial to his mufei, mufei is truly happy. "
"Mufei!" Xiaoxiao threw herself into Mufei's arms and said in a low, mysterious voice, "With Imperial Father's edict, then Big Brother Feng will have many eyes and ears in the martial world. I will definitely return."
"I hope so! I hope that Shaoyun will come back with you. With him here to help Qi'er, mufei will feel more at ease. " Imperial Concubine Mei nodded tiredly, covering her chest, the worry for her son clearly showed on her face.
"Mufei, Big Brother Feng is this grandpa's right-hand man. As long as I return, Big Brother Feng will be here specifically." For this, Xiaoxiao had complete confidence.
"Sigh …" Imperial Concubine Mei heaved a long sigh. Everything was just a guess, who knew what would happen in the future?
"Mufei, you're tired. I'll send you back to rest!" Little by little, coquettishly holding her mother's hand, she felt more and more that this woman was not as annoying as she used to be.
"Yes!" Imperial Concubine Mei nodded. Her heart was full of the face of Qi'er, and she was not in the mood to ask about the marriage.
Xiaoxiao coaxed them back to the Duanyun palace while dragging her tired body back to the Dragon Cry Hall. Entering the courtyard, she welcomed him with a slight bow, "Mistress, you're back?"
"Little girl, if you can't greet me in the future, don't greet me again. Master doesn't need these things." Ye Zichen glanced at them for a little bit, then busied himself for a few days after coming back, rarely paying any attention to the two girls. However, the way he did things was quite nimble, and he was quite satisfied with it.
"Yes sir!" She still didn't get used to bowing.
"Ai …" "I'm so tired." Xiaoxiao was too lazy to say anything else. Like a deflated ball, she stuffed the little thing into her embrace, entered the door, and sat in the pavilion.
Ru Yi quickly served Little Xiaoxiao tea and snacks. She had already seen the conversation, so she didn't dare to bow anymore. He poured a cup of tea for his mistress and very considerately offered it up. "Mistress, please drink a cup of hot tea first. Ru Yi will massage your temples to make it more comfortable."
"You can massage?" Little Jun was shocked.
"Master, Ru Yi learned it from the wives that served her before. "The women said that once the blood was squeezed through, the body would not be so tired." Ru Yi nodded and explained with a smile.
