———————-

Seeing Concubine Wan's surprised and shocked reaction, Qian Jiujiu knew that Concubine Wan was shocked by Mu Yexiao's politeness and immediately called her mother.

Wasn't it scary? Qian Jiujiu coughed twice, looked at Concubine Wan, and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will tell you about his highness and I later."

"It's already deep into the night, you should get a good rest first. I'll come and see you in broad daylight tomorrow."

Concubine Wan knew that Qian Jiujiu was about to leave, and looked at Qian Jiujiu with some reluctance: "Then Jiu'er, be careful. Mother will wait for you to come to see me."

Qian Jiujiu nodded, and glanced at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, let's go."

When Concubine Wan heard that Qian Jiujiu was calling his out by name, she was shocked once again. However, she had already left, so she remembered it.

When seeing Qian Jiujiu tomorrow, she must remind her; how can she directly call the prince out by name!

When Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao came out, she also didn't think that she would be ordered by her own mother tomorrow. Once again, she were carried by Mu Yexiao once more as they flew out of the courtyard wall.

The corner of Mu Yexiao's mouth rose: "You seem to have found a good method?"

Qian Jiujiu was a little proud: "Can't I? Even if I'm unable to bring my mother out from Shang Shu Manor now, but protecting my mother inside Shang Shu Manor is fine, right? "

Mu Yexiao acknowledged his presence: "It's good that you came to an agreement. Your husband will help you select people to come here to protect mother-in-law."

When Qian Jiujiu heard the two words "mother-in-law" again, she felt his heart clench.

"I haven't even said it yet! How can you be like this? You clearly know that this is the first time my mother has met you. If you go up there, just call me mother-in-law. You scared my mother."

After saying that, Qian Jiujiu realized that she was already far away from the Shang Shu Manor, and couldn't help but tell Mu Yexiao to stop. "Alright, you can stop for now, I want to get down."

With a beauty in his arms, how could Mu Yexiao bear to let go of her? However, Qian Jiujiu had already said it, so he could only put her down, "My wife, do you want to leave by yourself?"

Qian Jiujiu made an acknowledged, "That's right, let me push you along. Look at the moon tonight, it's round and bright, it's quite romantic walking like this."

Mu Yexiao had caught on to one important point. His wife liked romance, it seemed that he would have to create romance for her from time to time.

Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao as she spoke, her face had a profound expression and could not help but frown. Why do I feel like Mu Yexiao is thinking about something beautiful?

"Mu Yexiao, I think it's best if you put on your mask."

Mu Yexiao was startled, he raised his head and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Why did you suddenly say this? Am I not good-looking? My wife would rather see this face with a mask than see my face?"

Qian Jiujiu scoffed, "Don't you know that a woman who looks much better than yourself every day will feel inferior?"

Mu Yexiao curled his lips in disdain: "I haven't seen any sign of inferiority."

Qian Jiujiu continued: "That's because it hasn't been long enough. If I keep looking at it for too long, I'll definitely feel inferior. I can't take it anymore after just a few hours."

Mu Yexiao was speechless, but he was unwilling to put on the mask again. Between the two of them, they had already reached Prince Xiao Manor.

When they reached their own residence, they naturally didn't need to climb over the wall, so they honorably appeared at the entrance. The guards watched as their prince and princess suddenly appeared.

It was enough to scare the sleepyhead away in the middle of the night. He knelt on the ground and said, "This servant pays his respects to the prince and the princess."

Mu Yexiao made an acknowledged sound: "Stand up, open the door."

Soon enough, the door opened, allowing the two to enter. Qian Jiujiu sent Mu Yexiao to the door of his room: "Alright, you can enter, I will also go rest now."

After saying that, she walked out leisurely with a dumbfounded expression on her face. How was she supposed to walk into her courtyard?

Fortunately, Hong Ling appeared very quickly. "Your highness, this servant come to pick you up."

Qian Jiujiu looked at Hong Ling with satisfaction. "Hong Ling is indeed the most considerate of them all. Let's go back to sleep."

Hong Ling was naturally in front leading the way, and very quickly they arrived at her courtyard. Qian Jiujiu entered her room, and immediately went to sleep.

After Qian Jiujiu left, Mu Yexiao did not sleep, but called Dong Chen over: "Dong Chen, go choose two smart female subordinates for the Martial Arts Competition. Send it to her mother tomorrow. Go on."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Dong Chen suddenly had a feeling that all of the female secret guards under the command of the prince were probably prepared for the consort.

Early morning of the second day. After Qian Jiujiu woke up and washed up, she had made breakfast and then went to find Mu Yexiao.

Right now, eating three meals with Mu Yexiao had already become Qian Jiujiu's habit. Just as she finished her breakfast, Dong Chen came over to report.

"Your highnesses, the two maids had already chosen to send to Concubine Wan."

Dong Chen's heart was still bleeding as he spoke. The secret guard that was raised for so long had become a slave just like that.

When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she looked at Hong Ling: "Hong Ling, are them similar to you?"

Hong Ling nodded. Mu Yexiao looked at Hong Ling and Qian Jiujiu and realised that there were only two maids around Qian Jiujiu.

Furthermore, three days later, Qian Jiujiu was even going to treat all Madams and Misses to a feast. Mu Yexiao glanced at Dong Chen and said, "Have the butler come over here. There are really too few people around princess consort. We should make up for it now."

After Qian Jiujiu heard this, she glanced at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, do you have many girls like this?"

Mu Yexiao shook his head: "This batch has a total of ten."

Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. There were a total of ten of them, two for her and two for her mother, that was four. There were still six left to give to her.

If it's in the way, then this Mu Yexiao had really treated her quite well. Mu Yexiao then looked at the two people who were brought over.

Would a girl like this be willing to serve her mother? Glancing at the two girls, Qian Jiujiu asked, "What are your names?"

"This servant is Qinglian, this servant is Qingyu. Greetings, Her highness."

Qian Jiujiu nodded her head in satisfaction: "Qinglian, Qingyu right, do you know about your mission this time?"

Qing Lian and Qing Yu both nodded. "This servant knows. We'll take care your mother. Please be at ease, Your highness. We will definitely protect your mother and not let her suffer any more grievances."

Regarding to Qian Jiujiu's background, the butler had already told the two girls in advance. They were actually quite happy about the mission this time.

Although, from a secret guard to a servant, but concerning to a secret guard, having surname is not easy at all.

It was just that Qian Jiujiu did not know about any of these, which was why she was worried, yet the answer that Qian Jiujiu got was also satisfactory.

"That's good then. It's good as long as you know it. However, let's be frank. After you go, you have to make an all-out afford. If you can do it, You can still mention it now."

"I'll give you a chance to withdraw it. If you don't put your heart and soul to go, I won't care even you're his highness's people. Offending me will not end in such a good way."

Mu Yexiao pursed his lips, looking at the little girl in front of him, he felt that it was funny.

As for Qing Lian and Qing Yu, they directly knelt down. "Please be at ease, Your highness. I, Qing Yu, and Qing Lian will do my best to take care of Madam."

Qian Jiujiu was finally satisfied: "You all only need to remember that although you all went to the Shang Shu Manor, you all are still members of Prince Xiao Manor, understand?"

The two girls looked at each other. If this was the case, then they would not be servants in Shang Shu Manor, so their days would definitely be much easier. Furthermore, they would also have the strength to protect Concubine Wan.

The two of them thanked him again. "Thank you, Your highness. We understand now."

Qian Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction once again, before turning her head to look at Mu Yexiao. "Your Highness, we can set off now."

Mu Yexiao sat still, not moving at all. Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao for a bit and blinked her eyes a few times before realizing that Mu Yexiao was smiling shamelessly at her.

Qian Jiujiu was speechless. What was this boss trying to do now? Mu Yexiao used his mouth to form a shape: 'Call me husband.'

If there was blood in her mouth, Qian Jiujiu thought that she would definitely no think of something and spurt it all over his face.

However, the problem now was that there was no blood. Furthermore, she had to curry favor with him. She couldn't help but sigh. She needed her strength, but she was a lazy person.

Forget it, let it be. This was not the first time anyway, so she coughed twice. "Hubby, shouldn't we set off now?"

Mu Yexiao was finally satisfied and looked at everyone else: "Let's go to Shang Shu Manor."

The group of people led the carriage, pushed the wheelchair and set off, arriving at Shang Shu Manor very quickly.

When the doorman of the Shang Shu Manor saw that Princess Consort had returned, he ran inside like a wisp of smoke. Very quickly, Qian Shang Shu arrived at the main entrance and looked at Mu Yexiao.

"This official pays his respects to the prince and the princess. Please come with me the inside."

After welcoming the two people inside, Qian Jiujiu saw that only the Qian Shang Shu was there, she could not help but think that Qian Yuge's face, was now a little better to look at.

Look at Qian Shang Shu, Qian Jiujiu asked, "Father doesn't have to be so courteous. Oh right, why haven't I seen Mother and Cousin yet? And Grandmother? "

These series of greetings were all very intimate today, causing Qian Shang Shu to be puzzled. What was the purpose of these two coming back today?

"Reporting to Your highness. They are in the inner courtyard. Do you want to take a look at them?

Seeing that Qian Shang Shu was a bit hesitant, Qian Jiujiu curled her lips: "There's no need, I'm here to see someone else today. Does father's residence have Concubine Wan?"

Qian Shang Shu's heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately raised his head to look at Mu Yexiao. Mu Yexiao's face was dark, and Qian Shang Shu's heart immediately began beating like a drum.

Qian Shang Shu winked at Qian Jiujiu, wanting to ask what she meant by that. Qian Jiujiu smiled: "Father, do you know that your Manor's Concubine Wan sent some things to Prince Manor yesterday?
