 Xu Miao's smile faded a bit when she mentioned His Highness the Crown Prince.

 She didn’t like that Highness at all.

Your Highness is the crown prince, the person in charge of the future of the imperial court.

Her husband and son should all do their best for His Highness, including Master and Ajian.

The same will happen if Xun'er can gain fame and become an official in the court in the future.

But the first thing Xu Miao remembered was always the kick the other party gave Liu Xun.

 It’s so heavy.

He kicked me on the shoulder, causing a large bruise, but luckily no bones were hurt.

I have been rubbing it with my own medicated oil for a month, but it still hasn’t healed all the bruises.

yes.

The king allows his ministers to die, but the ministers have no choice but to die.

  But there has to be a reason.

 Otherwise, now I am beating people at every turn, but after I become a great treasure, I am afraid I will be killing people at every turn.

Yue Niang said that the prince looked at her several times...

It is true that Yueniang may be similar to someone he recognizes, but Xu Miao has complaints about the prince, so she will naturally assume that he is malicious.

 Could it be that the prince has fallen in love with Yue Niang?

The prince opened his mouth to ask for it, but Xun'er refused, so he was kicked by the prince?

Thinking about this, Xu Miao even breathed a little tighter.

 She looked at Yueniang a few more times.

 She has willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and the tear mole under her eyes, which makes her look a bit pitiful.

From Xu Miao's own point of view, Yue Niang is not a great beauty, but she still has a certain flavor in her.

The facial features come from her parents. Xu Miao will not blame Yue Niang because of this, but she feels more and more that her guess is probably correct.

It’s no wonder that Xun’er still refused to tell the truth to her after she saw through her injury.

His Royal Highness the Prince fell in love with his own outer chamber, but he refused to offer it, so he was kicked...

It’s amazing that Xun’er can say this kind of thing!

The incident started because of Yue Niang, but it is not right or wrong. It is undoubtedly His Highness who was wrong.

Even if it goes to the imperial court, there is no such thing as "grabbing" in the world.

If Xun'er was afraid of the status of the prince and just sent Yue Niang out, then she would really rush home and scold her son.

Since Yueniang followed Xun'er, Xun'er became the support of this lonely woman.

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to achieve a good result between Xun'er and his wife and the outside wife, but they should also pay attention to a good get-together and a good separation.

Rather than push this woman out and seek benefits.

“The appearance is passed down from our parents,” Xu Miao comforted her softly, “A girl who looks like you is also inherited from her parents.

 Although they may be confused at first glance, you are you and she is she.

Whether your future is clear depends on whether you can think clearly.

I don’t like to interfere in things, and I won’t interfere in the conflicts between my son and his wife. My involvement will only make things more complicated.

 But after all, you have been together for more than a year, and you are destined to be together. I hope we can get along well. "

Yue Niang’s eyes became redder and redder.

Since she was a child, she has been working for a living, and she has heard a lot of talk about various situations.

 When you are really in trouble, even if you know you are just talking, the words are nice and can comfort you to some extent.

 Better than evil words.

 But nothing can beat the sincerity.

She could tell clearly that Mrs. Xu's words contained true feelings and were not words to whitewash the situation.

 Again, Yueniang thought, if she was not in such an embarrassing position, she would really like to have more contact with Mrs. Xu.

 “I will remember your words and I will definitely think about it again.”

After Yue Niang finished speaking, she was afraid that what she said was not enough to alert Mrs. Xu, so she looked around and added another sentence.

"I have been restless since I met the prince. After the prince got married, I became even more restless. I feel much more comfortable now that I can talk to you."

Xu Miao smiled and nodded.

 His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and energetic, and he is willing to ask for help, which is equivalent to treating Xun'er as a servant. At the same time, he does not regard Yue Niang as a human being.

 That look is like looking at prey. It’s strange to be able to feel at ease when it falls on you.

The two of them talked for a few more words, and Yue Niang said goodbye.

Xu Miao watched her leave, turned to Aunt Xia and said, "Xun'er is really guilty!"

It's not easy for Aunt Xia to comment on Liu Xun, but she can guess what Xu Miao was thinking just now: "Do you suspect that person has evil intentions?"

"Otherwise, how could Xun'er get kicked?" Xu Miao asked back.

Mother Xia nodded thoughtfully: "That's right."

 Worship Buddha and eat vegetarian food.

Xu Miao followed her usual habit and returned to the Liu Mansion near evening.

As soon as the front foot entered the door, the back foot met a pair of children coming back from outside.

They met each other, and Liu Xun and Liu Ping hurriedly greeted her.

"It's rare," Xu Miao held her daughter's hand and said, "Why did you two go out together?"

 The three of them walked to the backyard together.

As Liu Xun walked away, he said: "My father sent someone back to say that Envoy Gu Yue will leave in ten days. Before that, there are many things to be arranged. He will rest in the Yamen for the next two days and let his family give him some time." Give me two pairs of clean underwear. I just had some free time, so I asked A-Ping and gave them to my father."

Xu Miao smiled and said, "It's hard for you to be filial."

 After entering the backyard, Xu Miao didn't want Liu Xun to send him off and sent him back to his residence.

Liu Xun thought that Zheng Liu was still waiting to hear his progress, so he didn't insist and hurried back.

The mother and daughter walked back to the main house together.

Xu Miao changed her clothes first and came out of the inner room. When she saw Liu Ping sitting by the window in a daze, she stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently.

 “What are you thinking about?” she asked.

Liu Ping pursed her lips and shook her head.

Xu Miao said softly: "I thought that after you knew about Xun'er's things before, you were alienated from him."

 Liu Ping San San.

How could she not have any grudge against having an extramarital wife, cheating on topics, or cheating?

 But that was her brother after all.

If she shows off her face, her parents will be in trouble.

"It's all right if he changes his ways," Liu Ping didn't want to say more about Liu Xun, so she started another topic, "I still see my eldest brother."

 Big brother, of course, refers to Xu Jian.

Upon hearing this, Xu Miao hurriedly said: "He has been in the Ministry of Rites since the new year, right? What did you tell him?"

"Yes, he follows the prince to observe the government," Liu Ping said bluntly, not knowing the twists and turns, "he is still cold-hearted and cold-faced. He could not say more than a few words and told him to go home quickly and not stay outside."

 Xu Miao was stunned for a moment.

 If it were any other time, she would probably laugh and shake her head after hearing this.

Ah Jian has such a personality and is not close to them.

The blood connection lies here. When A Ping was a child, she was very willing to show up at A Jian's place, but she couldn't get a few good words from her, and finally came back crying.

As they grew older, Ah Ping was able to understand the reason for the distance between them and was also very considerate of Ah Jian.

 But today, she was particularly sensitive to the word "prince".

 Xu Miao had a straight face, showing no emotion: "Have you met the prince?"

"Yes," Liu Ping said, "I said hello to him, don't worry, I know the rules and etiquette, and I didn't make any mistakes." Xu Miao had a breath in her throat and looked at her daughter steadily.

Her mother is not shamelessly putting money on her face, Ah Ping is good-looking, and people like the prince with evil intentions, if they see a beautiful one...

 No wonder Ah Jian said, "Hurry home."

A Jian followed the prince and probably had a good idea of ​​the prince's character.

There is nothing wrong with fair ladies and gentlemen being fond of others, but it is also impossible to like one and the other and have the idea of ​​​​grabbing.

 Fortunately, A Ping and Yue Niang are not like...

There was a buzzing sound in my head.

Yue Niang’s words in the morning echoed in Xu Miao’s ears.

"It can't be Miss Ping, right? The young master mentioned it that day and said that I look a bit like Miss Ping. I thought it was the young master joking with me."

Xu Miao's eyes widened and she looked at Liu Ping in astonishment.

 Her own daughter was extremely familiar, but at this moment, she had to see it with completely different eyes.

 It doesn’t look like it, where does it look like?

 Why did Xun'er say that?

  It seems that there are some suitable places...

Also, Xun'er knew the prince's preferences and felt that A-Ping and Yueniang looked alike. How could he let A-Ping show up in front of the prince?

 Liu Ping was looked at by her mother in this way and couldn't help but said: "What's wrong with me? I'm really not rude."

Xu Miao endured the pounding of her heart and asked, "Why did you think of going to the Ministry of Rites? Xun'er went with you?"

Liu Ping did not doubt that he was there, and said: "My father asked my brother if he wanted to go over and say hello because the prince was watching the government at the Ministry of Rites. My brother was a bit evasive. It was probably because his eldest brother was also there and he didn't want to join in. Maybe he would see him. I was a little excited. When I passed the Ministry of Rites, my brother asked me to go in if I wanted to, but he wouldn’t go anyway. In the end, he couldn’t resist me..."

Xu Miao felt heartbroken after hearing this.

Xun'er really was so focused on getting angry with Ah Jian that she didn't even think of letting the prince see Ah Ping.

In the other room, Zheng Liu was asking Liu Xun with great interest.

Liu Xun sat there with a long face.

Liu Xun has not yet discussed with his father how to let the prince make an impression on A-Ping.

Going to the Ministry of Rites is certainly a way, but my father thinks that it is easy to travel in front of Xu Jian, so he needs to make more detailed arrangements.

 But Zheng Liu couldn't wait any longer and kept urging him.

 Even more so today.

Hearing that his father would not come back for several days, Zheng Liu used the sayings such as "delay will lead to change" and "it is better to catch the sun than to pick up the sun" to urge him to get things done.

Liu Xun was heartbroken and did as he was told.

They arrived at the Thousand-Building Corridor together. When his father saw A-Ping coming together, he simply mentioned the prince, and Liu Xun showed off his estrangement towards Xu Jian.

  After that, it’s about adapting to circumstances.

 Liu Ping didn't have any scheming, he just said a few words and achieved this result.

 Everything went smoothly, and Liu Ping was "very cooperative."

 It was Liu Ping who insisted on going to the Ministry of Rites, so he could only accompany him.

After bowing to His Highness, Liu Xun stood aside and observed the prince's expression on Liu Ping.

 Based on his understanding of His Highness, His Highness was somewhat interested.

With this thought, Liu Xun looked at Zheng Liu.

I have to say that this woman is right.

He didn’t feel that Yue Niang and A Ping had any similarities, but Zheng Liu could see some similarities.

 “It should work.” Liu Xun said.

"It works, then why don't you show your face to me?" Zheng Liu snorted, "I gave you a good idea. Not only was it ungrateful, but it also made you look bad. What? Price reduction? You're already a bastard. How many taels of silver is it worth? If you want to be outstanding, then hurry up and become the uncle of the country. "

Liu Xun's ears were stinging when he heard this, but he was too lazy to argue with Zheng Liu: "Xu Jian is here too. He is very smart. I'm afraid that he will notice it."

"I said you are just suspicious," Zheng Liu asked continuously, "What can he see? Has he met Yueniang? Does he know that the prince is interested in Yueniang? Can he think that you are plotting against Liu Ping?"

 Liu Xun was speechless.

His attempt to kidnap Miss Jin failed, and it was suspected that the princess had intervened behind the scenes. He did not tell Zheng Liu about this at all.

 Speaking of it, Zheng Liu still doesn’t know how to laugh.

"You have never dealt with him, you don't know..." Liu Xun could only prevaricate.

"You say he's seductive? Aren't you being coaxed around by a smiling tiger like Lin Yunyan? Ha, man!" Zheng Liu rolled his eyes in disgust, "If you are afraid of long nights and many dreams, why not strike while the iron is hot and let your sister go there in the next two days? Prince, come around."

Liu Xun said impatiently: "Don't rush me, I'll think about it again."

Zheng Liu did not accept his trick and continued: "The prince is in the Ministry of Rites during the day, and if you want to avoid Duke Fu, you can only wait for the prince to go to the government office.

It is already evening. Are you taking A-Ping out at night?

Neither father nor mother will agree, that is, father is not at home these days..."

 Liu Xun's eyebrows jumped suddenly.

The father will definitely not stop it, but it is best for the father to stay out of the matter so that the mother does not think too much.

Zheng Liu is right. These days when his father is in the Yamen are the most suitable.

 The next afternoon.

 Xu Miao was talking to Liu Ping when she saw Liu Xun coming over.

Liu Xun gritted his teeth and tried to speak as calmly as possible: "Mother, there is a play on the Moon Tower tonight. I want to go and listen to it."

"Listen to the opera? You are married, don't just worry about yourself, ask your wife to go with you," Xu Miao said with a smile, and suddenly remembered that there was Yue Niang who accompanied her son to the opera, and couldn't help but smile. , you have other plans."

"To tell you the truth, I just had a few arguments with A'liu, and she doesn't like to listen to drama." Liu Xun paused and sighed, "But I'm afraid that if I call Yue Niang, A'liu will be even more upset if she finds out. ”

 Xu Miao nodded slightly.

 That makes sense.

  Arguing with his wife on the front end and watching a show in the back room shows that he no longer wants to live a peaceful life.

“You coax your wife,” Xu Miao advised. “It’s not pleasant for a young couple to have a little quarrel. You are the husband, so you keep your head down.”

"I know it well," Liu Xun glanced at Liu Ping and said, "I want Ah Ping to go to the theater with me, so that Ah Liu will have nothing to say, right?"

Xu Miao doesn’t agree.

Liu Ping, on the other hand, was excited: "I want to go."

Seeing that she was happy, Xu Miao was reluctant to refuse. He was about to agree when suddenly there was a bang in his head.

Her heart was pounding. She couldn't explain why, but she was very uneasy.

 Subconsciously, she grabbed Liu Ping's wrist: "No."

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment.

 She said what she wanted to do, and her mother almost never refused.

"You don't want me to go?" Liu Ping asked in a low voice, "The Moon Tower is not far away."

Xu Miao insisted: "No, if you want to listen to the show, we can go there during the day tomorrow."

Liu Xun saw this and was in a dilemma when Zheng Liu came.

“Aren’t you going out to listen to a play?” she asked, “Why are you so procrastinating? My sister, hurry up and change your clothes.”

Liu Xun turned to look at her: "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Zheng Liu snorted, "I'll go too."

Xu Miao accepted this and said, "Then you two go, don't let A-Ping get caught in the middle."

"In other words," Zheng Liu said, "my sister-in-law and I are listening to the opera. Let Mr. Liu stand outside. Mother, you won't be reluctant to part with it, right?"
