pet queen [rebirth]

After having dinner with Su Boyuan and his wife, the servants brought tea to the hall. Sitting there, Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo heard Su Mingshan's voice from the backyard: "Why! Why are you punishing me for that bitch's son? ? Mother, are you and dad's eyes on the sky?"

Qiu Yunrong persuaded her in a low voice, but finally became impatient for some reason, and the voices of the two arguing spread to the front hall.

Su Boyuan listened to this conversation in front of Xiao Qian, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he really felt the feeling of being on pins and needles.

While thinking about Qiu Yunrong, he didn't know how to walk away even if he taught his daughter a lesson, and at the same time he thought, he really spoiled his daughter too much in the past two years, and he must teach her a good lesson later.

After returning home, he needs to stay overnight at Yue Zhang's house. In the evening, Su Boyuan specially prepared another bedroom for Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo.

In the past, Su Mingmo lived in a wing room on the west side of the backyard. It was cold in winter and hot in summer. Even after burning charcoal, it was still tormentingly cold. It was not a comfortable place.

Now that Prince Ning is here, the Su family can't entertain them like this. They just clean up the bedroom Su Mingchen left behind and replace it with new beds for them to rest.

As soon as Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo entered the door, they knew that this room was not Su Mingmo's. They laughed and said, "Ziyu, your Su family really knows a lot about hospitality."

Su Mingmo saw the military records placed on the table, and knew that the servants had no time to clean them up, so he helped his elder brother put away the military records: "Your Highness is a distinguished guest, so father naturally dare not neglect."

Xiao Qian wanted to say, you are still the second son of the Su family.

However, he thought it was meaningless to care about these things, and he just wanted to treat his son better in the future.

Because they slept in the same bed in the Wang's mansion, and at night in Su's mansion, the two of them lay together on the spacious big bed in Su Mingchen's bedroom, and Su Mingmo didn't feel any discomfort.

Until midnight, Xiao Qian had frequent nightmares again.He dreamed that in the most difficult years of his previous life, he was fighting the enemy on the front line, with fierce tigers in front and pursuers in the back, and he brought down the prince for Xiao Yuanqi, but Xiao Yuanqi was quite suspicious of him.

On the contrary, bathing in blood on the battlefield is his most wanton time.

Maybe it was retribution, those soldiers who died following him, and the people he killed in Beiman and Langxia, all came to him in his dream.

Xiao Qian watched indifferently as those lonely ghosts gradually devoured his body, and the person next to him suddenly moved, pulling him out of the nightmare.

Su Mingmo was sleeping next to him, probably because his legs were sore and swollen, his body curled up slightly, his brows were also tightly furrowed, and a small muffled sound came out of his mouth.

Xiao Qian leaned over and rubbed his legs habitually.

Two days ago, when Xiao Qian rubbed Su Mingmo's legs like this, he would gradually calm down and gradually fall asleep, but today he suddenly changed his position, rolled out of another bed, and leaned into Xiao Qian's arms.

Xiao Qian chuckled lightly, and took the opportunity to hug him very "ungentlemanly".

This was probably his last trace of warmth in the cold night.

The next day, Su Mingmo woke up and found himself nestled in Xiao Qian's arms.

Originally they had two quilts, but now that quilt was kicked by Su Mingmo to nowhere, the two of them were hugging a quilt tightly, and the body temperature of Xiao Qian was continuously transmitted to Su Mingmo's body.

Su Mingmo blushed.

When he moved slightly, Xiao Qian woke up, looked at him, smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Good morning, Princess."

Hearing his voice, Su Mingmo blushed even more, and replied in a low voice: "Morning, my lord."

The carriage was ready outside, Sixian and Jiayi came to knock on the door, and served their masters to wash and change clothes.

After Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo had breakfast with the Su family couple, they left the Su residence.

A few days later it was the Queen Mother's birthday.

At this time in the previous life, Xiao Qian had a rift with Emperor Xuancheng because of the marriage gift. He did not participate in the Empress Dowager's birthday this year. The princess entered the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

Li Youde handed the imperial decree to Xiao Qian, and said to him: "The Queen Mother is old, and she likes to be surrounded by juniors. I heard that Princess Ning has a brilliant literary talent, and she is not inferior to the number one scholar in Enke. I really want to meet him."

Xiao Qian didn't say anything after listening, just nodded with a flat expression, politely asked Sixian to send him out of the palace.

Even if his literary talent is outstanding, so what, from now on Su Mingmo can no longer have other identities besides the family members of Prince Ning's Mansion.

Once the title of Concubine Ning is worn, it cannot be taken off, let alone the officialdom.

If it were Xiao Qian, if he put himself in his shoes, he probably wouldn't want to hear such praise.

Manager Li has always been clever, and he actually picked up which pot he didn't open in Prince Ning's mansion.

It seems that the cup of tea that Sixian poured for him just now was too polite.

Xiao Qian sneered, turned around and found Su Mingmo standing behind him.

Seeing him turn around, Su Mingmo asked him nonchalantly: "My lord, I don't know which one is the bedroom that you promised to prepare for me earlier?"

Xiao Qian thought that he accidentally heard Li Youde's words just now, and was trying to comfort him, but he didn't expect him to ask him this, Xiao Qian couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "What is the princess in such a hurry for?"

Su Mingmo remained silent.

Xiao Qian turned around and thought, if Su Mingmo didn't hear Li Youde's words just now, that's all. If he heard it, maybe what he would think in his heart.

As a man, who doesn't want to aim everywhere, who doesn't want to make contributions.

Ziyu is full of poems and books, certainly not in exchange for the name of a "virtuous" after becoming a princess.

Now that Xiao Qian is too close to him, he definitely cannot accept it.

Let's take it slowly.

So Xiao Qian asked Sixian to prepare another room for Su Mingmo, and specially ordered the bedding to be thicker, and the charcoal to be burned during the day, so that Su Mingmo's legs and feet were sore at night, so that he would not be able to sleep well due to the cold .

A few days later, Xiao Qian brought Su Mingmo into the palace together.

Today's Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, the rules are different, all the female relatives have to go to the Empress Dowager's Palace first, to greet the Empress Dowager and celebrate her birthday, and gossip about family affairs.When the birthday banquet officially started, everyone gathered in the banquet hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.

As for the princes, some went to the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to rest, and some went to the Mingxin Hall to pay respects to Emperor Xuancheng.

Emperor Xuan Cheng was slightly ill today, and he heard that the imperial physician had just come to check his pulse in the morning, so he turned away all the ministers who greeted him, only the crown prince and King Duan were summoned by him when they greeted him.

When Xiao Qian arrived, the prince had already left for a while, and Prince Duan had just come out of Mingxin Palace.Seeing Xiao Qian, King Duan greeted him, telling him that Emperor Xuan Cheng seemed to be in a bad mood today.

Xiao Qian didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, until Li Youde came out and said: "Prince Ning, the emperor announces you to enter."

Xiao Qian stepped in, and Emperor Xuan Cheng leaned on the couch beside him, raised his head and glanced at him: "Qian'er, you are here."

Xiao Qian knelt down and saluted: "See father."

"Pingshen," said Emperor Xuancheng, "Li Youde, give me a seat."

Li Youde went to move a chair over.

Xiao Qian sat down.

Emperor Xuancheng coughed, and said: "On the day of your wedding, the emperor was not able to visit you. A few days ago, you and the princess came to thank you, and I was busy with state affairs, so I didn't have time to care... After marriage, you and the princess How are you doing?"

Xiao Qian laughed: "It's the same thing whether it's good or not. Thank you, Father, for your concern."

Emperor Xuancheng looked at him carefully, and always felt that he was a little different from before.

"Qian'er, have you ever blamed me?" Emperor Xuancheng coughed and said again, "In the past two years, the northern barbarians have been staring at me like a tiger, and the wolf summer has raised its troops to store up its energy. The wolf's ambition is clearly revealed. Although the Western Regions have now surrendered to me court, but they are not without criminal record, Qian'er, you should be able to understand the difficulties of the father, right?"

Xiao Qian lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "That's natural."

Perhaps it was because of illness, although Emperor Xuancheng's face was pale, but the original sharp eyebrows were slightly drawn, making his whole face look a lot more gentle. He looked at Xiao Qian and said: "You and your mother, really The only thing is that she is half of the same, and she is also half of Han Chinese blood, not as barbaric as ordinary women from the Western Regions. She is well-educated and understanding, otherwise, the father would not have taken a fancy to her..."

He looked out of the window, and his thoughts seemed to drift away: "Do you still remember that the father just brought you back to Beijing, and at that time the father was not yet firmly seated on the throne. He was afraid that the ministers would oppose you if he recognized you rashly. Put you in a small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing."

"At that time, it was the happiest time for us father and son. When the emperor came down to court, if he had time, he would come to see you in the small courtyard, and let Li Youde go to the street to buy you the delicious food that folk children like. , It's fun. When you see me, call me Daddy."

"I am in this royal family, I have never called anyone 'Daddy', and I am rarely called 'Daddy', even the crown prince has never called me that, only you..."

"Qian'er," Emperor Xuancheng paused, "For the sake of the father-son relationship, you will forgive me for everything I have done?"

Xiao Qian lowered his head and said: "Father, take care of your health, Qian'er hopes that you will live a long life."

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Xuancheng laughed, and there was a gleam of red light on his sickly face. He coughed and said with a smile, "With your words, my father can rest assured." !"

Xiao Qian came out of Mingxin Hall, turned a corner, and met Duan Wang Xiao Yuanqi waiting there on the path leading to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

When King Duan saw him, he came up to him and said, "Fourth Brother, you have come out. I have just entered Mingxin Palace since you, and I will wait for you here. What did Emperor Father tell you?"

Xiao Qian looked at him lightly.

When Xiao Qian didn't speak, he looked at people with a cold expression on his face. Wang Duan felt a little guilty when he saw him, and asked him: "What, what's the matter, is there something on my face?"

Xiao Qian smiled lightly, and the coldness on his body gradually dissipated, and said: "Thank you for your concern, second brother, the emperor didn't say anything to me, but just told me not to blame him, and gave me the opportunity to help the prince more and treat him better." In the future, when I become a great treasure, I am willing to give my brother... a face."

The people in the palace spoke obliquely, and it was the first time that Xiao Qian brought up his conflicts with the crown prince, as well as Prince Duan's unknown ambitions.

After hearing this, King Duan felt a little uneasy on his face for a moment, he coughed dryly, and said: "Yes, is it? Then what did you say?"

"I agree wholeheartedly," Xiao Qian smiled, and said loudly, "but don't worry, second brother, the crown prince bullied me and insulted me, and even asked me to marry a male wife to be the princess. If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman. It's a shame, how can I help him?"

"That's good," said Duan Wang with a sigh of relief, "Qian'er, if you still have any difficulties, or if you have suffered any grievances, tell the second brother that the second brother is not like that prince, and he will do his best to help you." you."

Xiao Qian "browed with joy", cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Xiao Yuanqi turned around, looked at his leaving back, thought to himself, it seems that although his fourth younger brother looks cold, in fact he still prefers to act emotionally, if this is the case, then he can rest assured.
