These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting Concubine Xiao in the heart, making her unable to recover for a long time.

Seeing her like this, the emperor raised his head and laughed, "Why, my beloved concubine is so happy that she is so happy?"

Looking at the man who was laughing wantonly in front of her, Concubine Xiao twitched the corner of her mouth, her smile was uglier than crying, her tone was filled with disbelief, "Your Majesty... this third prince sent by the Turks has been staying at De Fei all day long. Mi'er has never had any contact with me, so how could he ask for marriage by name?"

"I've probably seen Xiao Jiu." The emperor's smile did not fade and he said loudly, "My Xiao Jiu looks like a fairy. That Turkic prince may fall in love with her at a glance."

Concubine Xiao seemed a little at a loss, her hands on her knees moved slightly, "Could it be that the Third Prince of Turks made a mistake?"

Hearing this, the emperor's face instantly darkened, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Is your concubine... unwilling?"

Concubine Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, Mi'er's engagement was annulled by the Shao family master. I am worried about her bad reputation. If the Turkic prince takes care of this matter and affects the diplomatic relations between the two countries, then... …”

"How can it be as serious as you said?" The emperor stared at her with a pair of eagle eyes without any affection. "Since it was the third prince who asked for marriage, he must have checked out Xiaojiu. If he felt disgusted, how could he name her? Want her?"

"But the emperor..."

"That's enough!" The emperor scolded with a cold face, "There are a lot of useless excuses. I see that you clearly don't care about the overall situation!"

"Since ancient times, it has been the most common thing for two countries to make peace. We can buy peace without wasting a single soldier. It is a deal without losing money. Why don't you agree?"

The emperor snorted coldly, and his eyes became dark, "What's more, the great Yan has several princes and princesses who are well-dressed and well-fed, and they have to share the country's worries. This is the responsibility of being born in an emperor's family!"

"But this is not a business deal. I don't want you to love me." Xiao Guifei's eyes were a little red, tears welling up in her eyes, "Mi'er's engagement was just broken off, and now she's sent to the Turks..."

The emperor's expression became worse and worse, and his hands on the table were clenched into fists.

He didn't want to talk a lot of truth to this woman, but Yuan Mi was spoiled by him and had a bad temper. He only listened to her mother and concubine. If he could talk to Concubine Xiao, things would be much simpler. .

"It is normal for the two countries to have diplomatic relations and make a marriage." The emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at her steadily, and said solemnly, "The Turks are good at fighting, even worse than those in the northwest. If Dayan fights with them, they can only be A narrow victory.”

The emperor's expression softened a bit and he sighed, "Yun'er, it's not easy for me to guard the country. You should learn to solve my problems."

Concubine Xiao's lips trembled slightly, and she stretched out her hand to hold the man, "Your Majesty... you and your concubine only have one child, Mi'er..."

"For so many years, the Yan army has been strong and strong, and the Song generals and his sons have guarded the border. The Turks have not dared to invade, so why bother to make peace with them?"

"Shut up!" At the mention of Song Fei, the emperor's face, which had just softened, instantly darkened again. With a wave of his hand, he knocked Concubine Xiao down on the couch.

Concubine Xiao steadied her body, her face as white as a sheet of paper, staring helplessly at the man in front of her who she had admired for many years.

"This country's surname is Yuan, not Song!" The emperor's eyes turned red, and he looked as angry as a wild beast, "This world belongs to me, and it has nothing to do with Song Fei, so there is no need for him to guard it!"

The emperor's eyelids twitched heavily and he spoke loudly, "All marriages are subject to the orders of the parents. This matter has been settled. If you keep talking, you will no longer think about the position of the imperial concubine!"

"If you have this free time, why not think more about your Xiao family!"

After saying that, the man snorted coldly and walked away.

"Emperor..." Yu Bai came in with freshly fried hot dishes. Before he could put the dishes on the table, he saw the emperor striding out.

Concubine Xiao looked at the man's back and bit her lower lip, her tears falling silently like broken beads. Seeing her like this, Yu Bai quickly put the dishes aside, ran over to help her, and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you quarreling with the emperor?"

Concubine Xiao leaned on the table with a dull look on her face and murmured, "Mi'er...my Mi'er..."

The scene was a bit chaotic, and no one noticed that there was no one missing in the room.

"Is this true?"

Yuan Mi slapped the table and stood up, his face filled with fear and his almond-shaped eyes widened.

Qiu Yu stood aside, nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "I heard it with my own ears. The third prince of Turks took the initiative to ask for a marriage and begged to marry the ninth princess!"

Yuan Mi swayed and almost lost his footing.

"Princess!" Qiu Yu quickly supported her, with a worried look on her face, "You must hold on!"

Yuan Mi took a deep breath. Her mind was in a mess right now and she couldn't think at all. "Where is the mother-in-law? What did she say?"

"Of course the imperial concubine is unwilling, but...the arm cannot twist the thigh. It is the emperor's decision..."

Qiu Yu didn't say anything else, but how could Yuan Mi not guess it?
Yuan Mi smiled bitterly and his eyes turned completely cold, "The most strange way is the ruthless emperor's house..."

Qiu Yu supported her and whispered, "Princess..."

"How I wish I wasn't a princess." Yuan Mi bit his lower lip, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, a bold idea sprouted in my heart and grew rapidly.

Yongcheng Houfu
Su Zi carried something, squeezed in from behind the heavy curtain, and said with a smile, "Madam, I have brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Fang Xu pinched a grass stalk and teased the birds in the cage. After hearing this, he just replied lightly, "Go and write a notice and put it on the door, saying that Houfu Cheng is recruiting nursing home, two taels a month, four days off." God, you can enter the mansion if you pass the exam."

"Recruit... a nursing home?" Su Zi paused and asked in a low voice.

Fang Xu threw the straw into the cage, twirled his fingertips, and said quietly, "In such a big mansion, there are so many people, but no one found out that the little princess climbed over the wall!"

"If we can't find a few reliable ones, I'm afraid the thieves will move the palace clean and no one will be able to see it!"

Su Zi lowered his head in frustration, unable to refute Madam's words, so he had to grind obediently.

"Then how do you want to be assessed, madam?" Bai Ji stood aside, holding the candy given by madam in his mouth, and asked vaguely.

Fang Xu looked at her and said faintly, "If I can beat you, I'm qualified."

Bai Ji was stunned, quickly bit the candy in his mouth, turned around and ran out of the house, leaving only one sentence, "Then slave, go practice again——"

After a while, Su Zi held the notice in one hand and the paste in the other, and walked quickly to the back door. With a wave of her hand, the paste came to the door. Once it dried, the notice would be firmly stuck on the door.

It was sunset, it was winter, the wind was biting, and there were very few people on the street. Su Zi just posted the notice and hurried back to the house, not noticing the old man and the young man not far away.

The young man rushed to the door of the mansion, carefully looked at the notice on the door, and shouted behind him, "Uncle Qi, Yongcheng Houfu is recruiting nursing home!" (End of this chapter)
