83: Arrogance depends on timing
Xia Yuning glanced at Master Feng's ancestors and grandsons indifferently, "God has given you the Feng family's exorcism magic treasure, I hope you can use it well, it is also a sharp sword, good people use it as a magic weapon, and wicked people use it as a magic sword." I hope your baby won't turn into a magic weapon in the end. β
Master Feng's face turned dark, "Princess Zhenguo, rest assured, our Feng family will definitely let the ancestral magic weapon become a divine weapon to protect the emperor!" β
Xia Yuning ignored him anymore and looked at the emperor with a serious face, "Your Majesty, now that the war is getting more and more intense, I hope that you don't send those people who don't understand the demon clan to point fingers and affect the overall situation, I have assigned their responsibilities according to the performance of the soldiers defending the city in various places, and they are protecting your country, Your Majesty." β
Hearing this, the emperor said: "Princess Zhenguo, don't worry, since I have chosen you, I naturally believe in your ability, and I will not accept foreign military orders, as long as they are meritorious soldiers, even if they temporarily violate the will of those who were ordered to go to announce my will, I will not give them a foolish punishment." β
"This is very good, the emperor believes that the Lotus Shadow Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, and after the demon war is over, I will follow my husband to live in seclusion in the demon beast clan, and when the time comes, the Xia family will ask the emperor to take good care of it."
The emperor's face changed, "Why do you say that, it is rare for Yu Ning to think that I am the kind of monarch who has no large number of birds and slingshots?" β
"No, it's just that after making an appointment with my husband and ending the world, I will live an ordinary life as a husband and wife, and when the people of the Lotus Shadow Country are in trouble, Yu Ning will naturally appear to be able to help."
The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "Okay then. Everyone has their own aspirations, and I can't force you to choose as a husband and wife. Now that the demons are invading, I hope you will protect the people of my Lotus Shadow Kingdom. β
ββ¦β¦β
After being polite with the emperor, Xia Yuning took Xia Linghu and them away in a high-profile manner.
When she walked out of the palace, Xia Qinglan sighed, walked to Xia Yuning's side and whispered, "Third sister, can't you be a little gentle in front of the emperor?" β
Xia Yuning glanced at him, "If you don't raise your profile at this time, do you have to wait until after the end of the war?" β
Forehead.
"Today's attitude is just to let them remember that I am not good-tempered, and whoever dares to bully me will return it, and they can weigh what they want to do in the future."
This seems to make sense, Xia Qinglan knows that she has her own sense of proportion, so she doesn't get entangled, and then said with a sincere face: "Third sister." In the past, the Xia family ignored you ruthlessly, thank you, you can put it down. No matter what happens to others in the future, I, as a big brother, will never forget the fact that you are my sister. β
"Whatever you want, for me, the ridicule of my sisters in my family is just a small evil, and it has not hurt my roots. Although I was upset. But who gave me a soft-hearted mother? For the sake of the life she gave me, as long as you don't mess with me again, I will not do anything. As for what will happen in the future and what you will do, it is your freedom. I don't force it and I don't expect it. β
Xia Qinglan was very disappointed when she heard her words, and sure enough, the third sister still had a grudge against the Xia family. He can understand this, and he will not be without guilt if it were him.
Let's look at the action in the future, saying that a hundred times is not as good as doing it once.
"Okay, big brother, go home, I have something to do, I'll go back to eat dinner."
"Do you want me to help?"
Xia Yuning waved his hand, "No need, I have an assistant by my side." β
"That's good, the third sister should be careful herself, although the emperor said that he believes that you can resist demons, but there are still many strange people in the royal family that we don't know, and the third sister is still cautious about them!"
Xia Yuning believed this, so he responded to him with a good temper, and then flashed away without any nostalgia.
Her figure disappeared in a few blinks of an eye, Xia Qinglan was stunned, has the third sister's cultivation reached such a height?
"Young Master, is it time to go back to the house next?" The little guy who had been following them asked softly as he led the carriage.
Xia Qinglan nodded and got into the carriage.
Today's third sister is probably so strong that she has no interest in revenge on a weak person like them, so she doesn't care about the past.
Thinking about it like this, his mood suddenly became even more melancholy, as the eldest son, he was originally the pillar of the Xia family, but now, the Xia family is the third sister is the best, and his taste of being a brother is very complicated.
β¦β¦
After Xia Yuning left Xia Qinglan, she asked Xia Linghu and Qianhu to go back to the space to rest for a while, and she went directly to Qiao's house to talk to Qiao Dashao, Guan Lingyu and their marriage always have to be talked about.
After hearing her name, the people of the Qiao family hurriedly went to report to the master, and at the same time, the porter invited her into the living room to serve tea and asked her to wait.
After a while, Qiao Yiyi didn't come out yet, but a middle-aged couple appeared, and the uncle should be Qiao Yiyi's father, Master Qiao.
As for the other woman who looked at her thirties with a flattering look between her walks, it was not a serious look, Xia Yuning secretly guessed who this was, it would definitely not be Mrs. Qiao, it was rare that Qiao Yushi had a new love after disposing of that Aunt Zheng?
"Xiaguan has seen the princess of Zhenguo, and it is disrespectful not to know that the princess is visiting." Qiao Yushi's slightly chubby body made him look a little rich, and his face was still quite upright, and when he was young, he was probably almost a handsome boy like Qiao Shao.
"You're welcome, Lord Joe."
"Master, this is the newly crowned princess of Zhenguo?"
"Well, let's salute the princess. Let the princess smile, this is Xiaguan's concubine Liu. β
Xia Yuning frowned slightly, "Isn't Mrs. Qiao at home?" β
Lord Qiao's face stiffened, and then he smiled: "The insiders have been chanting scriptures and reciting Buddha for many years, and they rarely come out to entertain guests. β
"Then you will bring a concubine to this princess to be an eyesore? Is this looking down on me, Lord Joe? Lowly concubines can also come out to entertain distinguished guests! β
Lord Qiao and his beautiful concubine suddenly blushed, half angry and half angry.
The Liu family glanced at Master Qiao sadly, and how could he wipe the corners of his eyes like this and said aggrievedly: "As far as I know, the princess's biological mother was still a concubine a few years ago, and time has changed. Has the princess forgotten her roots? This is too powerful, isn't it? β
"Presumptuous, how can you talk about the princess of Zhenguo?" Although Lord Qiao was angry, he also knew that the official and the big ones crushed people to death, so he hurriedly stopped his concubine.
Xia Yuning shook his head, disappointed in this Lord Qiao, it was a pity that such a person was actually Qiao and their father.
She didn't look down on the characters in the concubine room, this era is like this, but she hates Liu's coquettish posture and greed in her eyes.
"Princess."
Qiao Yiyi walked over and didn't say anything when he saw this scene, just greeted Xia Yuning.
Obviously, he has lost hope in his father, and he has no Aunt Zheng. There are other aunts who have followed one after another. His father was simply old and mediocre.
"You're here, let's go out for a walk. The air here is not very good. β
"Yes, princess, please."
Qiao Yifan directly ignored the black faces and red faces of the two of them, and no one in Qiao's family dared to attack him and his mother. He didn't bother to care about the ridiculousness of his father's backyard.
When I walked to the door of the living room. Xia Yuning suddenly glanced back at Master Qiao again. "Master Qiao, I see that you are old, and you are old and dizzy, and you can't distinguish between loyal and traitorous people. It's better to resign like the emperor and retire! β
Lord Qiao's face suddenly turned pale, and he looked at his eldest son beggingly, but Qiao Yi said with a smile: "What the princess said is very true, I believe that the emperor will also understand the difficulties of my father." β
"Well, the Qiao family is fortunate to have you to support it."
The two of them talked to themselves, and then left Master Qiao and they left.
"Master, they're too arrogant to give you a face at allβ"
"Get out!" Master Qiao kicked Liu out.
Liu's buttocks bloomed, his face turned white in pain, and suddenly the pear blossoms brought rain, "Master, what did the concubine do wrong?" Woo, you're doing this to people......"
"If it weren't for you, how could you be looked down upon by the princess of Zhenguo, and how could you face the crisis of losing your office?"
Liu Shi was stunned, "Master, they are just talking, and the court is not theirs, how can you let the lord resign from your official position?" β
"Sure enough, it's a brainless idiot!" Master Qiao threw up his sleeves and left, no coquettishness could attract him, if he had no official position, the eldest son would have no good face for him, and it was estimated that it would not be his turn to call the shots.
No, he can't lose his official position, he finally became the Lord of the Imperial History, how can he lose it like this?
Angered the princess of Zhenguo, who can he ask for help? The eldest son has always had opinions about him, and he will definitely not help, and the people of the Xia family were his political enemies in the past, and they will definitely not show mercy......
After thinking about it, he could only think of his wife, plead with her, and ask her to change his mind by moving his eldest son!
I can't help but say that Master Qiao is still not confused to the end, at least he is right in this matter, and the person who can still restrain Qiao Dashao in the Qiao family is Mrs. Qiao.
Hurriedly walked to the main courtyard, wanting to meet his wife, but was stopped by the guards at the gate of Mrs. Qiao's courtyard, "Master, Madam is chanting at the moment, and it will be over in half an hour." The eldest young master instructed that when the lady was chanting, she was not allowed to disturb the big things. β
"Bastard, sir, do I want to see my wife and still get the boy's consent?"
Although the guards were embarrassed, they refused to let go, "Please forgive us, if we don't carry out the orders of the eldest young master, it will be our brother who will die when the eldest young master comes back." β
"Y-you-"
"Master, no matter what you do, don't be in a hurry for a while, why don't you wait for half an hour to come to Madame, so that we don't have to be scolded by the eldest young master."
Lord Qiao couldn't wait to drag people down and beat them to death immediately, but he still had reason, and now the guards in Qiao's Mansion were basically the eldest son's people, and his words didn't work.
Bastard, even Lao Tzu dared to deal with it when his wings were stiff, he was really blind to his love for him in previous years!
Master Qiao was so angry in his heart, but he couldn't break through, he was a real literati and a weak scholar, and he couldn't do it as a young man.
The two guards still looked the same when they saw him, the relationship between the lord and the lady had long faded, this lord had been doing the thing of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife, fortunately, the lady had no quarrel with the world, as long as the two young masters grew up well, she didn't care about that, otherwise, Qiaofu didn't know what would happen.
For a man like Master Qiao, they are not used to it, how can anyone be so eccentric, and they are getting more and more lustful as they get older. In the early years, there was some restraint, and I didn't dare to treat Mrs. Zheng too much, but in the past two years, I have become more and more confused, without Aunt Zheng, I actually accepted a cousin of Aunt Zheng as a concubine, and the Liu family is still a widow, except for being able to hook men, it is estimated that there is no other ability.
I really don't know why Lord Qiao's vision is crooked, obviously Mrs. is a talented and virtuous woman, compared to Aunt Zheng and their concubines, I don't know how many times dignified and virtuous, but Lord Qiao is blind and can't see!
Master Qiao didn't know that the guards despised him again in their hearts, and returned to his yard in annoyance, intending to rest for a while before looking for someone.
β¦β¦
Qiao Yifan and Xia Yuning, who left home, came to a teahouse around Qiao's house and picked a private room to talk to.
"Did the princess just come back today?"
"Well, the main thing I am looking for you is to talk about the marriage between Lingyu and your brother, I want that girl to marry in a beautiful way, but that girl doesn't know how to live or die, so I just say that I simply invite someone I am familiar with to have a meal."
"Ahem......"
Suddenly heard that his younger brother was going to get married, Qiao Yi was a little choked, this speed is really fast, I mentioned it to him last time, and now I say that I will get married directly.
Is the procedure of proposing, hiring, or hiring all omitted?
Xia Yuning didn't care about his surprise, and continued to complain: "You said that a woman's marriage contract is mostly only once in her life, how can you just pass it casually, it must be done gorgeously." You should talk to your brother about this, and you can't treat my sister badly. β
"Does the princess want to recognize her as a sister?" Joe asked in surprise.
"Well, she's very nice to my baby, I don't know how to repay her, so be it."
Khan, it turns out that this person still has such thick lines. Qiao Yi thought for a while and said, "Princess, this matter is also a big deal, I asked people to go home and invite my mother to come over and discuss what you want?" β
"Okay, it's better to have elders."
So, Qiao immediately asked his relatives to go home and invite Mrs. Qiao to come.
When Mrs. Qiao heard that her son wanted her to go out to meet the distinguished guests, she knew that something important must be there, so she hurriedly packed up, and then went out with the maid and two guards.
After the two guards left Qiao's house, they thought that Master Qiao had come to find Mrs. before, but thinking that the order of the eldest young master was the most important, they didn't mention it to Mrs. Qiao immediately.
Therefore, after waiting for Lord Qiao to rest for a while, he took the time to come to Mrs. Qiao's courtyard, but found that the room was empty, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to fall down. Angry roared, "What about Madame? β
"Back to the master, the lady was invited out by the eldest young master."
"Where?"
The maid who stayed behind shook her head and said honestly: "I don't know, Madame didn't say it." β
Master Qiao thought about it and guessed that the eldest son must have taken his mother to see the princess of Zhenguo, but he was annoyed but didn't know how to vent, he couldn't smash the things in his wife's yard, if he did, his eldest son would collect all the things in his and his concubine's room when he turned around, and then let them buy it back with private money.
What a disfilial son! Master Qiao burst into tears in her heart.
