On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 466 Final Chapter 7
Of course, the Seventh Prince is also a thorn in the eyes of many people. If he wants to grow up safely, the Queen Mother will have to spend a lot of effort.

However, Xiao Xiao would definitely not say such an unlucky thing.

Anyway, after chatting with Madam Zhou for a while, a maid came forward and said that the Empress should take a rest, so Xiao Xiao stood up and said goodbye: "I'll take my leave. I'll come back to pay my respects in a few days when the Seventh Prince is one month old."

"Then I will not keep you here either." Da Zhou ordered, "Take the tribute ginseng back to the deputy commander for nourishment, and then have Little Lizi escort Madam Li out of the palace."

The chief eunuch of Kunning Palace escorted her all the way. Even when she met two older concubines on the way, Xiao Xiao just greeted them from a distance and did not stop to greet them.

It was also thanks to Mrs. Zhou's carefulness, otherwise she would have been unable to refuse any empress who asked her questions.

After Xiao Xiao returned, she told Li Yan everything that Da Zhou and she had said.

After all, he was only injured in the body, not the brain.

Besides, since he is always out and about, it would be good for him to know more news.

Li Yan was silent for a while before saying, "I guess they will appoint a crown prince."

"If the Seventh Prince has a promising future, the Crown Prince will be his sharpening stone."

He added: "What a coincidence, my father sent someone to say that the seventh prince of the north has ascended the throne."

It would be even more interesting if the seventh prince born to the Queen could become emperor in the future.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "A new emperor chooses new ministers. The Northern Emperor was also short-lived. He only sat on the throne for two years before someone else took over."

"Is this the legendary iron throne and changing emperors?"

Although her words were very good, Li Yan still warned her: "Don't say this outside."

After saying that, he reminded Xiao Xiao: "Can someone bring Yi Yi in?"

It’s a bit boring to lie down, and I want my wife and children to be with me.

If he hadn't wanted to let others know how badly he was injured, he would have remembered to hug his daughter.

Xiao Xiao shouted outside: "If the young lady wakes up, bring her here."

Meng Hui outside replied: "Grandma, the eldest girl just fell asleep for a while?"

The couple had no choice but to give up. Xiao Xiao picked up the ginseng in the wooden box and opened it. She smelled the rich fragrance and was a little surprised: "This ginseng looks good?"

She still felt sorry for her man: "When my brother-in-law comes, ask him if you can eat now."

He seriously doubted his wife's statement that she was 'not good enough'.

If a man is not capable, what is the difference between him and a eunuch?

Li Yan was almost laughing at her: "Do I still need to make up for it?"

"You are the one who needs to be nourished, right?"

Xiao Xiao has already given birth to a daughter, how could she not understand what he meant?

She rolled her eyes at him: "You are so greasy."

Li Yan sighed: "We haven't been married for long, and you already dislike me?"

Xiao Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't blame me, okay?"

"By the way, have you been busy these days?" Li Yan was bored staying in the mansion, so he took her hand and rubbed it: "Anyway, the house over at the charity hall has been built, so we can live in the new house for a few days."

Xiao Xiao shook her head: "The house has been built, but the beams, pillars and furniture are all new and painted. Should we wait until the second half of the year and stay there for a few days occasionally?"

Since they haven't separated yet, they can't live outside for a long time.

Besides, it was far from the imperial city. Even if he rode a horse back and forth, it would take nearly two hours, which was too much work. Another maid came to report: "Grandma, Aunt Mo wants to come and visit Master."

Xiao Xiao pulled out her hand from his grasp and stood up to greet him: "Please invite Aunt Mo in."

In the past, Aunt Mo seldom came to Sangyuyuan, and three or four times a month was enough.

After Xiao Xiao gave birth to a daughter, Aunt Mo came over every now and then. Even if Yi Yi was asleep, she would sit quietly by the side and watch for a while before leaving.

Li Yan was injured a few days ago. Aunt Mo was worried about her own son, so she would come to see her son and granddaughter every day.

Even though Aunt Mo now knew that her son's injury was not very serious, she was still heartbroken. When she entered the room and saw Xiao Xiao greeting her at the door, she felt very satisfied.

Although Xiao Xiao did not come from a wealthy family, she never gave her any embarrassment.

If his son married Xiao Zhou, he knew that Xiao Zhou would never respect him like this.

Aunt Mo smiled gently: "I have nothing to do, so I came to see Yi Yi."

Xiao Xiao almost wanted to laugh when she heard this. She clearly wanted to see her son, but she had to lie to herself. Poor Yi Yi, he had become a shield at such a young age.

"Aunt, please come in," Xiao Xiao followed and said, "Master was just telling me that when the charity hall is finished, he wants you to stay there for a few days."

Then he said embarrassedly: "It's just that there are mountains behind us, there is no particularly good scenery, and there is no century-old temple."

"You are so thoughtful." Although Aunt Mo had never had to worry about food and clothing and had never suffered any serious hardship in her life, she rarely went out.

Therefore, she really wanted to go out for a walk: "If there is a chance, I really want to go and see those little girls."

Xiao Xiao helped her sit on the armchair in front of the couch.

Aunt Mo first showed concern for her son, then took the tea Xiao Xiao handed to her. When she saw the maids had all left, she whispered to them, "I heard from Madam yesterday that there have been many people coming to give us invitations these past two days, and we turned them down before. We were afraid that it would affect our relationship, so why don't we prepare a half-flower viewing banquet?"

The reason why no one was allowed to visit him before was because he was afraid that people would ask why Li Yan was injured by the prince.

Now that everyone knows the news, Madam Li wants to use the name of hosting a flower-viewing banquet to invite a few ladies who are close to her to speak.

But last night, Lord Li stayed at Aunt Mo's place.

Therefore, Aunt Mo also heard him say that the eldest prince might be made the crown prince.

Aunt Mo felt that it would be better for the Li family to stay out of the spotlight at this time.

But she couldn't tell the truth in front of the lady. If the lady knew that the master had revealed such an important matter to her, the lady would definitely be jealous and dislike her, and it would also implicate Xiao Xiao.

Therefore, Aunt Mo revealed some of the information to them. If her daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law thought it was okay to hold a banquet, she would not say more.

If Xiao Xiao feels that it is inappropriate, then Xiao Xiao can also persuade the lady to give up the idea.

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao and Li Yan looked at each other.

Li Yan said, "It's also good to hold a flower viewing party. Xiao Xiao, you can also take this opportunity to get to know more people."

Xiao Xiao considered it and said, "But you are still recovering from your injuries and the children are still young, so it's best not to invite too many guests."

Seeing that they had an idea, Aunt Mo really went to see her granddaughter.

Xiao Xiao was a little gloating: "It's true that the generations are close. With Yi Yi, Auntie doesn't miss you as much as before."

Li Yan held her hand and said, "It's enough for me to have you by my side."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile. Indeed, at this moment, she was also very glad that she had met him.
