Chapter 423: Surrender
Since Zhu Jiu thought he had succeeded, he hurriedly returned to the palace with Hanmei and a few people to prepare for all application matters.
So soon, the news that His Majesty was going to take the eldest princess and the queen mother to the royal garden enclosure outside the palace to hold a horse race quickly spread throughout the government and the harem, and many people with their own thoughts couldn't sit still.
But before that, Zhu Jiu had one more person who had to be seen.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty's newly sealed Concubine Liniang is waiting outside at the moment, waiting for you to summon you."
Hanmei said respectfully, but she snorted coldly in her heart, secretly saying that Concubine Laoshizi wanted to annoy the queen.
If she is safe, if she still thinks of some thoughts that she shouldn't have, and is embarrassed by her mother, she really doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.
How can the fish-eyed beads compete with the bright moon!
"After all, it's the new palace concubine, you go and invite her in person, don't slack off."
Zhu Jiu came out of the inner room to change clothes, and when he saw that Hanmei was impatient, he immediately opened his mouth and gave serious orders.
Han Mei was not in a hurry to receive the order, but personally brought the sweet soup to Zhu Jiu, "You don't have to worry, she has been waiting for a long time. Such a small thing as dismounting, the slave will do it for you."
Zhu Jiu smiled dumbly: "I know it's your careful thinking, bad embryo!" She is the princess of Changyue, with a noble status, we can't afford to offend, so let's go and invite someone."
"You can't indulge her too much! You are the queen, she is the palace concubine, it's good that An An is not a demon, in case it is not worrying, wouldn't it be troublesome! It's better to set rules for her today, and save you the trouble in the future."
"After all, she's a princess, and she's pampered, and some of her tempers are normal. Anyway, I can't hide from seeing her, so why leave her a handle and let her complain about me for no reason."
Zhu Jiu took a sip of the sweet soup, and the sweet and greasy taste made her slightly nauseated, so she had to swallow her saliva violently and force down the sadness at this moment.
"!"
Raising his eyes and smiling reluctantly, Zhu Jiu looked at Han Mei, "Don't be verbose, go and invite someone."
Hanmei didn't dare to persuade again, so she turned around and went out to ask for someone.
She came and went quickly, and Zhu Jiu hurried from far and near when he heard the footsteps outside.
"Niangniang, Concubine Liniang came to thank you and say goodbye."
"See the queen mother, the queen mother Wan Fu Jin'an!"
Princess Qingli, who was dressed in a big costume, bowed down according to the rules, and did not slack off at all because of her previous identity.
Such a reality surprised the imaginary Hanmei.
"Hanmei, go and help Sister Lifei get up."
Zhu Jiu and Princess Qingli looked at each other silently, and they already knew each other.
At this time, Zi Hanmei moved quickly, and she had already gone over and helped people up.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"Sister Concubine Li looks good, not to mention Your Majesty, even the palace likes it very much."
Such a scene came out of Zhu Jiu's mouth, which was really not very convincing, so that the scene was silent for a while.
"Uh-huh......
After a short silence, it was Princess Qingli who spoke first.
"The queen is kind, and the concubine begs you for mercy."
"Sit." Zhu Jiu didn't say anything else, and first ordered her to sit down and speak.
"Why did Sister Concubine Li say this, you are now the first to seal, it is the time when the scenery is infinite, where do you need the pity of this palace?"
Princess Qingli was speechless for a while, she never thought that the queen mother would be so shrewd.
"Please also ask the queen to retreat, the concubine has something to say."
After watching her for a long time, Zhu Jiu finally ordered Hanmei to take people to retreat outside.
"Tea or sweet soup? Do it yourself."
Zhu Jiu picked up the unfinished sweet soup in his hand, scooped it one by one, and was not in a hurry to ask her.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Princess Qingli didn't make a move, but lowered her eyes and meditated for a moment before slowly exhaling.
"Although the concubine has been in the palace for a short time, she already knows that the Xuanyuan harem is different from the Changyue harem, and this is ...... Very good."
"Really?" Zhu Jiu gently put the spoon down and asked her loudly, "What's good?"
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is dedicated, and fortunately, the Queen Mother has the Sacred Heart alone, and there are no such dirty things."
After listening to her, Zhu Jiu seemed calm, but she gave Princess Qingli a very heavy sense of oppression.
"By the way, this palace wants to ask, why did you have to enter the palace that day? Is it really for the Soul Suppression Bead?"
The mountain rain is coming, and you can't hide it!
"If the concubine says it's not all, will the mother believe it?"
Princess Qingli smiled bitterly, always watching the change in the expression on Zhu Jiu's face.
"Honguya letter, you go on."
"For the concubines, the Changyue Palace is a cage shackle. The concubine risked her disapproval that day and wanted to stay, just to escape from the control of Emperor Changyue."
"Emperor Changyue is your royal brother, will he harm you?"
Zhu Jiu said this on purpose, just to get to the bottom of her.
"How can there be any brother and sister love in the heavenly family, Niangniang will not forget the second brother of the concubine, his fate is extremely miserable now."
Hearing her say, Zhu Jiu involuntarily leaned closer, "What about the Soul Bead?"
If it comes to Changyue, Zhu Jiu has the confidence to deal with it, so he doesn't care too much, only the weird and wonderful soul bead is really a hidden danger in her and Xuanyuan Che's hearts.
"Dementor Bead ......"
Princess Qingli was a little hesitant, after the past, if it was not necessary, she really didn't want to have a conflict with Tu again, so she could only perfunctory the queen at this moment, hoping that it would not have much impact.
"The Dementor Bead is now stored in the Xuanyuan Palace, and it will definitely not be able to set off any more storms, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it."
Zhu Jiu looked at her fixedly, "Are you sure?"
Princess Qingli stood up and nodded, looking convincing.
Zhu Jiu tapped on the table and motioned for her to sit back.
"Okay, I'll trust you for the time being. In a word, you don't move, I don't move, understand?"
It means that if she doesn't act as a demon, Zhu Jiu won't be too restrained.
"The concubine understands, thank you to the queen."
Princess Qingli finally relaxed, and sincerely stood up again and bowed respectfully, raising her hands above her head to offer an object, which was the one Xuanyuan Che had not wanted before.
"What are you?"
After pondering for a while, Zhu Jiu still didn't accept it.
"This is the guarantee of the concubine to the queen's mother, and I ask the mother to accept it."
Zhu Jiu looked at the past carefully, but he didn't know that what he didn't recognize must be a good thing.
"What is this thing for?"
Princess Qingli was presented in front of her, "The queen mother just accepts it, the specific use is only known to His Majesty, and the mother will ask when she has time."
In this way, Zhu Jiu stopped thinking about getting to the bottom of the matter, and turned his head to signal her to put it aside.
"Niangniang put it away, this thing may be of great use in the future."
Only then did Zhu Jiu pick it up with his own hands, carefully wrap it and put it in the dark compartment.
"Okay, your sincerity will be accepted by this palace, and you will go first, remember the advice of this palace."
Princess Qingli got up suddenly, and when she turned around, she wanted to speak again.
"Anything else?"
Seeing her looking around, Zhu Jiu also became cautious.
"Queen Mother, the concubine still has a word," Princess Qingli finally made up her mind, "Instead of worrying about the Dementor Bead, it is better to worry about my second brother Tu Yu, he ...... I won't give up easily."
"Hongu knows."
