A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

Not to mention the cold water in winter and the wrong wind direction, Zhou Qiong spent a lot of time on the way back and only returned to Ruidu near the end of the year.

Fortunately, Liu Baoquan never came out to cause trouble again.

For some reason, the red pimples on his face dissipated slower than those of the little eunuchs, so he hid in the cabin all the way.

In the house of Xihou Mansion in Ruidu Town, only Heyi's mother and other old servants were guarding the house. Seeing that the Crown Prince was back, they were immediately very happy and began to clean the courtyard and take out all the furnishings stored in the warehouse. come out.

But Zhou Qiong shouted to stop, "It's okay, just clean it up. I just have a place to live, no need to deliberately decorate it."

"Although the two ladies haven't come back, as long as the young master is at home, we should look like we celebrate the New Year." Grandma Zheng said.

Zhou Qiong still shook his head, "It's okay, no need to bother."

"Yes..." He hesitated, "Then after you come back from the palace, my servant will cook you a bowl of dumplings?"

Zhou Qiong nodded and led the group to the study.

"Cousin, father-in-law, you can live here during these days. No one else will come here. Only Aunt Zheng will bring food at meal times. Don't worry, she will never talk nonsense."

"Mother Zheng, I am naturally relieved."

Xiao Cong took off his bamboo hat and said, "Uncle Jun and I will only stay for a day or two. When Uncle Jun goes out to find a house, I will leave with him. There must be people watching you here."

Zhou Qiong knew that what he said was true, so she didn't invite any guests. She just asked, "Tomorrow I will go into the palace to pay my respects to His Majesty and my aunt. Do you have anything you want me to pass on to you?"

"I'll go outside to check the weather first. I don't know if it's going to be cold today." Tang Junqian stood up hurriedly.

Xiao Cong grabbed him and said, "Uncle Jun, you don't have to be shy about my affairs from now on."

From the moment Jun Er came to the Zhou family mansion overnight and told him that he wanted to go to Ruidu to help him, Xiao Cong had upgraded him from a trustworthy person to someone who could support him and help him advance and retreat together.

"The home you returned to only after you were willing to leave for me, and the daughter we met only after you were willing to leave. Cong will keep this love in mind. From now on, we can talk about anything between you and me, and between you and Arqiong."

Tang Junqian was a little embarrassed when he said this.

In fact, he mainly felt that if he stayed at home and didn't know how to face his daughter, he might as well come out and work with Xiao Cong to make a future.

After all, there is a huge disparity in status between the Tang family and the Zhenxihou Mansion. Zhou Qiong now cares about his daughter and treats her like a jewel. But if she doesn’t like her anymore in the future, what confidence does her daughter have to stand upright in the Zhenxihou Mansion? Living on your back?

He had to find a future for his daughter and himself, so he could only seize the opportunity and follow Xiao Cong all the way to the end.

Besides, he can trust Xiao Cong.

Tang Junqian sat in his original position, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, but he heard Zhou Qiong say: "Father-in-law, we are a family, you don't have to avoid it in the future."

Taking advantage of the situation, he bowed and said: "You are an elder and knowledgeable. If I were not in a hurry, I would still ask you for advice. Please take the time to teach me more. In the future, you will be here to guide my son-in-law, my cousin and I." More assured.”

Xiao Cong's eyes widened.

You should respect your future father-in-law more, but you don’t have to be so smooth-talking, right?

He knew that his cousin had changed, but there was no need to change so completely...

What's the difference between this and a bitch?

Didn't Arjun hate this kind of flattery the most in the past?

Even Tang Junqian was embarrassed.

I don’t know where this kid learned it from, he is a monkey and a monkey.

He simply coughed and turned his head to pick up the tea cup.

Zhou Qiong continued to ask: "Cousin, do you have anything to say to your aunt?"

Xiao Cong decided to go home, but if he was unwilling to reveal his identity at this time, he would never enter the palace.

"Just tell my mother and concubine that I will come back safe and sound, and don't worry about me anymore..."

Xiao Cong lowered his eyes and sighed heavily, then raised his eyes to stare at Zhou Qiong and said categorically: "Tell my mother and concubine again that she has endured all these years of humiliation for me and my brother. Now that I have grown up, I will take on the responsibility of protecting my mother." The responsibilities of the concubine and the younger brother, please ask the concubine to be yourself from now on, do whatever you want, be free and casual, there is no need to continue to wrong yourself for us."

He paused, his eyes filled with determination to win, "Let my mother-in-law wait for me."

......

Early the next morning, Zhou Qiong went into the palace to meet Emperor Tai'an.

"Yeah, I'm a little taller, and I'm a year older. Why haven't the scars on my face faded yet? Have you applied medicine properly?" Emperor Tai'an asked with a frown.

Zhou Qiong sighed, "It was almost healed, forget it, just don't mention it."

"You kid, what can't you tell your uncle about?" Emperor Tai'an was a little confused.

Zhou Qiong was silent.

Emperor Tai'an had no choice but to ask: "How are the old lady and your mother doing in Yuezhou City? I heard that they have engaged you to be Tang Jingmo's granddaughter?"

"Yuezhou City is a well-fed people, and they are all very good, but my grandmother is always a little uneasy, saying that because of my horoscope and marriage, I have discouraged your kindness, and she feels a little uncomfortable every time I see the two young ladies who are still in Yuezhou City. "

Emperor Tai'an turned to look at Zhao Sanbao, "I remember this happened a long time ago, why hasn't your apprentice come back yet?"

Zhao Sanbao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "You didn't say anything before, so they stayed in Yuezhou City for a while. I didn't hear that the two young ladies came back later. Maybe they were too happy to miss Shu?"

"When you've had enough fun, ask your apprentice to bring the people back quickly. Since we have no chance to meet Arqiong, I'll give them both a kiss."

"Yes."

Zhou Qiong listened to the conversation between the two and frowned: "Uncle, Miss Lin's rules are not good enough. She broke into my yard several times and has no etiquette for a boudoir lady. In my opinion... you Just refer to someone who is similar, not a husband from a good family."

Emperor Tai'an immediately laughed, "I thought you were a year older and had a better temper, but you are still so vindictive."

But I heard the young man lower his eyebrows and say in a low voice: "I don't have a father, and no one helps me vent my anger. I can only keep it in my heart, and I will talk to my uncle and aunt when I have saved up enough."

Emperor Tai'an could not help but feel desolate in his heart.

He took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and patted the young man who was as tall as himself, "Even if you grow up, in my eyes you are still the kid who follows me and makes noises about eating sweets. What do you want to say in the future?" Just tell your uncle, he will never let you be wronged."

Zhou Qiong raised her eyes to look at him.

When their eyes met, Zhou Qiong saw the kindness in Emperor Tai'an's eyes, just like before.

But, he did grow up.

He has understood that feelings are real, and complexity is also real.

The person in front of him was not just his uncle.

"Now that you're back, go and talk to your aunt. She will definitely miss you if you haven't been here this year."

Without the children around, she became more interested in Buddhist scriptures and less interested in herself.
