C4 A Monster of a Family
The Fourth Marquis couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes. He hated the An Cheng family for their little sister, but seeing Xiao Han being humiliated made his heart feel quite comfortable. Xiao Han had followed him for so many years, but hadn't he suffered enough?
This Fourth Marquis was also someone with a bad temper!
Only Zi Yue was relatively calm. She coughed lightly to hide her emotions. Her eyes also became deep. She knew that her young master was definitely not someone to be trifled with. With time, the world would probably change.
"This lowly official dares not …" He was very happy for his highness. When he first found out that the empress had bestowed the marriage upon him, he was very angry that the empress would dare to do this to his highness, and marry a nine-year-old girl as his concubine. He was dumb, and looked very ugly, but now, he actually had a little bit of joy in his heart.
Xiao Xiao saw the change in Xiao Han's expression and knew what he was thinking. She didn't expect the Ice Mountain to care so much for her master. Xiao Xiao praised him and didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore.
"You're still not preparing for the train?" Xiaoxiao looked at the stalemate impatiently.
"Yes sir!" Xiao Han and his steward immediately went out to prepare the carriage.
Esteemed wangfei, the prince, Zi Yue, and Xiao Han entered the palace together …
The palaces stood tall, looking majestic and magnificent. It seemed like the Qin Yue State was also a rich lord, Xiao Xiao thought about how much wealth the Fourth Prince had, and the Prince's strange eyes turned cold when he looked at Xiao Xiao, he knew that this little princess was planning something bad.
Xiaoxiao smiled innocently, her rosy face looked incomparably cute.
A few of the eunuchs had long been waiting at the entrance to the palace. When they saw the prince, they came to greet him. Shua! Shua! All of them kneeled on the ground.
The Fourth Prince smiled foolishly ….
Xiao Xiao looked at the princes, then looked at the eunuchs on the ground. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she gave a hypocritical smile, then replied sweetly, "Eunuch, sorry to trouble you all."
"Thank you, wangfei …" All of them stood up respectfully as they were extremely fond of the little princess in front of them.
A few eunuchs led them into the palace and headed for the empress's chambers.
Phoenix Luan Pavilion:
On top of the treasure hung a giant pearl, sparkling like the moon. The floor was covered with white jade, and the interior was embedded with golden beads. It was a very extravagant piece of work, and the empress's chambers were incomparably luxurious.
"The prince and the princess consort have arrived!" The sound of many voices transmitted and finally, Xiaoxiao and the others entered the main hall.
Seated on the bed was a middle-aged woman in her forties. Her skin was white, her phoenix eyes were thin, and her hair was tied up in a bun with a few bright red hairpins. It was obvious that she was the person in charge of this harem.
Her charm was still there. She must have been a great beauty when she was young. Xiaoxiao silently cursed.
Although the prince was foolish, he still bowed when he saw the empress.
"Hehehe …" "Feng'er is here …" The empress's benevolent voice was heard.
But from the empress's eyes, Xiaoxiao could see a hint of hatred. It seemed like the royal battle …
At this moment, Xiao Xiao discovered that there were a few other people in the hall. A man in yellow clothes was sitting on the wheelchair, his handsome face was as sharp as a knife, carrying a natural domineering aura, his eyebrows were high, and his black pupils were sparkling like gemstones in the night, giving off a domineering aura. According to Zi Yue's description on the morning, this person must be Crown Prince Qin Zeyu. Two years ago, he was severely ill and both his legs were crippled.
There was a purple-robed man sitting next to the yellow-clothed man. His features were more beautiful than any other woman, and he was probably the Third Marquis. According to Zi Yue, the Third Marquis of the Qinyue Kingdom was a sickly man with a feminine air, and he had the title of a melancholy prince.
Xiao Xiao turned her head to look at the Fourth Prince. Damn, a family of demon-level talents, was this the Qin Yue country's demon-level character? Why was this royal man so handsome? Damn, Xiao Xiao thought, her heart was extremely unbalanced.
"Give seats to the prince and the princess."
"Thank you mother …" Xiao Xiao pulled Wang Lu to thank the empress, then sat on a nearby chair.
Back then, she had heard that the young mistress of the An clan had a stiff personality and was the one who had married after losing her voice since childhood. She wanted to use this as a way to test if the Fourth Prince was really stupid, and in the meantime, to restrain Prime Minister An. Seeing how intelligent Miss An was today, her eyes were sharp and she didn't look like a fool at all. Just now when she opened her mouth to speak, the empress was slightly angered. Seeing the Queen's colorful face, Xiaoxiao was in a good mood.
The Crown Prince and the purple-robed man also looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise. Rumor had it that the third lady of the Prime Minister An was extremely ugly, with a dull nature, and had lost her voice since childhood. The little child in front of them looked like a shrewd person.
"Esteemed wangfei, this is the crown prince and the third prince …" The empress was indeed a person who had seen much of the world. After a moment of shock, she immediately put on a pleasant and amiable face. She looked very kind, but Xiao Xiao wasn't a nine-year-old child, so she couldn't be easily deceived.
"Sister-in-law greets big brother, third brother …" Xiaoxiao stood up and lowered her body.
"En!" The crown prince coldly uttered a single syllable, his face expressionless.
Looking at his stinky face, Xiao Xiao thought of Xiao Han. The same stinky face, the same coldness, but looking at his legs, Xiao Xiao could only reluctantly forgive his arrogance. A person with a physical disability obviously had a bad temper, it was understandable.
"No need to be polite, sister-in-law. In the future, we'll all be family. If I have time, I'll come visit the Third Marquis' estate and scout …" In contrast to the Crown Prince's cold attitude, the Third Marquis was actually quite amiable. A warm smile appeared on his handsome face.
Xiao Xiao nodded slightly.
"Imperial Mother, why haven't we seen Imperial Father?" Xiaoxiao looked at the empress gracefully with her pink face.
The empress's eyes were filled with rage, but she quickly withdrew her gaze and smiled at Xiaoxiao. "Your majesty is severely ill. Since he's bedridden, he won't come out …" As he said this, his face was somewhat sorrowful.
When they mentioned the emperor, the princes' eyes sank. They clearly knew that the empress had placed him under house arrest and that his illness was getting worse every day, but there was nothing they could do. They could only gather their strength in the dark and didn't dare to fight him head-on.
"Is that so? royal father is seriously ill? Xiaoxiao had never heard anyone mention it before. It was all because of Xiaoxiao. As a daughter-in-law, she hadn't even seen her father-in-law's illness … "Imperial Mother, since Imperial Father is too ill to get out of bed, why don't you let us go to the sickbed to see him to show our filial piety. Xiao Xiao also really wants to see Imperial Father, after all, he's his wife …" Xiao Xiao's face was as sorrowful as it could be. Her eyes were red, and those who didn't know her personality would be touched by her filial wife.
