Chapter 559: People cannot be used like cattle

Qiu Ju heard that her young lady was frightened, and hurriedly suggested: "Tomorrow I will invite a witch to come to the mansion to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit."

"Don't invite any witch, they are all liars. Your young lady only felt creepy at the time. I am not afraid when I see Gao Mu and Cang Yun coming."

Under Qiu Ju's questioning, Jiang Shuyue made up a story of escape and told her.

Qiu Ju wiped her tears and sobbed, "I will stay with my young lady from now on. I will follow you into the toilet."

Jiang Shuyue was amused by Qiu Ju's words.

She stretched out her hand and gently scratched Qiu Ju's raised nose, "Silly Ju'er, you don't have to be afraid of the rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake. The emperor sent secret guards to protect me in secret. Go back to the room and rest. Let this calming soup cool down before drinking."

Jiang Shuyue's words were just to comfort Qiu Ju. She was not a native young lady here, so she naturally didn't need to drink the calming soup.

After a day's journey, Jiang Shuyue went into the space to sleep to relieve fatigue.

The next day, Xiangyang sent Suisui back to Jiang Mansion early.

Suisui hugged Jiang Shuyue's neck and said happily: "Mom, Suisui misses you so much. Zhen Daxueshi said that I don't have to study today, but I can stay at home with you all day."

The Zhen Daxueshi mentioned by Suisui is not Zhen Jingxiu's grandfather, but Zhen Jingxiu's father Zhen Shuo.

Everyone in the court knows that Zhen Shuo will be the real prince's tutor in the future.

Qiuju and Lan'er took care of the outside affairs, and Jiang Shuyue had a good day with her son.

Du Wenru learned that Suisui had returned home and made her best cakes.

Looking at the delicate and delicate Suisui, Du Wenru was so fond of her that she couldn't let go. She looked at Suisui with her eyes full of pampering, and her eyes were shining with love.

Suisui also likes to stick to the young aunt.

All departments in the palace are preparing for the emperor's wedding in full swing.

All the ministers knew that the emperor's wedding was actually a make-up wedding.

The officials' wives were not idle either. Jiang Shuyue was the future queen, so how could they miss the opportunity to show their face in front of the queen?

In the days before the wedding, the Jiang Mansion was visited by ladies from noble families in the capital almost every day.

The emperor and the queen mother hurried back to the capital.

As soon as the emperor stepped into the Cining Palace, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is Suisui in the palace today?"

"Suisui is in class at the Imperial Academy. Father, please go to the inner hall and rest. Suisui will be out of school in an hour. Father, don't worry. Stay in the capital in the future and enjoy the family happiness."

Yonghe hadn't seen his father for a long time, and he felt bad when he saw the emperor who had lost weight.

Yonghe led the palace maids and eunuchs to welcome the emperor and the queen mother into the inner hall, and sent the palace maids to the imperial study to pass on the news.

In the imperial study, Lin Xiangzhi was reporting official business to Xiao Jingzhao.

After listening, Xiao Jingzhao picked up his pen and continued to review the memorials.

Seeing Lin Xiangzhi sitting aside with no intention of leaving, he raised his sword eyebrows slightly, "Xiangzhi, do you have anything else to say?"

"No, I haven't seen the emperor these days, and I miss him very much. I wonder if the emperor is having fun outside the palace these days?"

"Who said I went out of the palace to play?"

Lin Xiangzhi turned his head and glanced outside the door, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "The emperor dispatched so many Jinyiwei out of the capital, isn't it to make the beauty smile."

Xiao Jingzhao threw a knife in his eyes, "No, I sent them out to pick up the emperor and the queen mother back to the capital."

"Tsk tsk tsk! In order to take the beauty out for fun, even the emperor was brought out, and the Jinyiwei people are back, why can't I see the emperor and the queen mother?"

Before Lin Xiangzhi finished speaking, Ma Gonggong walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor and the Queen Mother have returned to the palace. The Emperor asked you to come over."

"Yes, I got it."

Xiao Jingzhao looked at Lin Xiangzhi with a smile, "I didn't lie to you, you can do whatever you want, I have to go to the Cining Palace."

When there was no one else around, Xiao Jingzhao often talked to Lin Xiangzhi, and Lin Xiangzhi was used to it.

He knew that the Emperor was definitely not asking the Emperor to come over at this time to play a play of fatherly love and filial piety.

He suddenly had an idea, "Your Majesty, the Emperor asked you to come over in a hurry, could it be to ask about Sui Sui?"

"Think about it again, if there was no one else around, would the Emperor praise you or..."

Lin Xiangzhi said the last sentence, and simply kept it a secret.

Xiao Jingzhao pondered for a moment.

Now that Sui Sui was not around, his father would definitely not be in a good mood when he saw him, and he would scold him for not telling him about Sui Sui's existence earlier.

"Xiangzhi, should there be nothing else to do today?" Xiao Jingzhao cast his eyes on Lin Xiangzhi.

Lin Xiangzhi smiled like a fox and shook his head, "Your Majesty, don't you see what time it is? I should go home. People should not be used like cattle."

Lin Xiangzhi stood up and pretended to leave.

Xiao Jingzhao hurriedly called him, "Wait, the queen mother likes you the most. She will be happy to see you. Come with me to the Cining Palace to welcome my father and mother."

"It's not appropriate for me to meet the emperor and the queen mother empty-handed. How about I prepare gifts tomorrow and go to the Cining Palace to ask for an audience?" Lin Xiangzhi showed an embarrassed expression.

"What's inappropriate? I asked you to go, so let's go together."

Xiao Jingzhao glared at him and strode out of the imperial study.

Lin Xiangzhi suppressed the corners of his lips and followed quickly.

Not surprisingly, the emperor glared at Xiao Jingzhao fiercely when he saw him.

"Meet the emperor."

"Greetings, Queen Mother. Xiangzhi hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you so much."

With Lin Xiangzhi making jokes, the retired emperor's expression soon eased a little.

The Queen Mother saw that Lin Xiangzhi's face seemed to be a little paler, and said with concern: "Official duties are busy. If you are too busy, let your colleagues share more. You, child, why is your face so pale?"

Lin Xiangzhi touched his face, "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern. Xiangzhi is not exposed to the wind and sun outside. Your Majesty understands that I am busy with official duties, but not all the time. I can take a day off occasionally."

Xiao Jingzhao turned around and glared at him.

This guy was obviously making a fuss in front of him.

"Your Majesty, you and Xiangzhi grew up together, and your friendship is different from others. Xiangzhi is a child who was raised by your mother, and he is worthy of your trust."

The Queen Mother's words were a reminder to Xiao Jingzhao, reminding him to take good care of Lin Xiangzhi.

Lin Xiangzhi's little mouth was so sweet that the empress dowager couldn't stop laughing.

Xiao Jingzhao saw his father looking up from time to time, and winked at Ma Gonggong.

Ma Gonggong hurriedly retreated.

After a while, Changle walked in with Suisui.

"Grandmother!"

Suisui let go of Changle's hand and ran towards the empress dowager, diving into her arms.

The emperor looked at Suisui with his eyes wide open.

With a son, Xiao Jingzhao stood up straight in front of his father.

"Suisui, come and meet the grandfather."

Suisui raised his head and timidly called "Hello, grandfather."

The emperor realized that his stern face scared the child, and instantly put on a kind smile.

Watching his father holding Suisui on his knees, pinching his throat and whispering softly.

Xiao Jingzhao's eyes were straight, it turned out that his father also had a gentle side.
