———————-

Qian Yuge was also listening to the servant at the other side side. She was so angry about to died, why was Qian Jiujiu able to come back home and act mighty after marrying into Prince Xiao Manor?

How about she? Her baffling face began to itch, and then her entire body began to itch. There were also many red bumps on her skin. Even when the doctors came to examine her, they could not find any results.

It's simply anger her. Thinking about the red bumps on her, she started to think, "Mother, do you think of a way? If it's like this, even that bitch Concubine Wan will have a chance to turn things around."

"Why isn't that Mu Yexiao dead yet?"

The Madame Qian was shocked, "Yu Ge shut up, what are you saying? Is this word enough to speak out? Alright, Mother knows that you are in pain."

"Since you're sick, what can we do about it? Take your time to recuperate. Fortunately, there's nothing that you need to go out for, and no one can see your face."

Just as she finished speaking, a servant girl delivered a message: "Madam, master had this servant send this invitation to you, he said it's from Prince Xiao Manor."

Madame Qian took it and looked, it was actually Qian Jiujiu who wanted to hold a feast at Prince Xiao Manor the day after tomorrow, so she and Qian Yuge must definitely be there.

Qian Yuge looked at Madame Qian's thread and did not say a word. She could not help but be puzzled: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Who sent this invitation? "

Madame Qian frowned: "Look for yourself, Qian Jiujiu invited us to the day after tomorrow to admire the flowers, then does Prince Xiao Manor have any flowers? That Prince Xiao didn't care about these things before, how could there be flowers? At that time, I'll see how that Qian Jiujiu will lose face."

Qian Yuge threw the forum post onto the ground, "Mother, when I saw it, it was us who lost face. Look at my face, where do I go? How do we get there?"

"I was just saying, why did my face suddenly get pimples, it must be Qian Jiujiu's doing, if not, when I'm fine, why didn't she invite me?"

Madame Qian immediately felt that what Qian Yuge said was reasonable, but how possible? How could Qian Jiujiu have that capability? She should first console Qian Yuge.

However, before Madame Qian could speak, Qian Yuge's voice sounded. "I don't care, I won't go with my current state. Help me refuse it back."

At this time, the servant girl that sent the invitation also spoke: "Madam, Master has already promised Princess consort Xiao, he said that you would bring young miss there, and at that time Her highness would have to introduce young lady to all Madam."

Hearing that, Qian Yuge could no longer hold it in, and used her hand to slap the servant girl's face: "Shut up, you lowly servant, when did you get the chance to speak?"

The servant girl touched her face, feeling pain but could not say anything, she did not dare say anything, this servant girl was a servant serving in Qian Shang Shu's study, Madame Qian and Qian Yuge would not normally treat her like this.

It's just that at this time, who would care about her? Madame Qian waved her hand: "You go out first."

Seeing the servant leave, Qian Yuge looked at Madame Qian and asked, "Mother, what do we do? That Qian Jiujiu has already set her eyes on me. If I knew earlier, finding any random slave to replace that bitch Qian Jiujiu would be better, but now she's showing off in front of me."

Madame Qian sighed, "Yuge, it's useless to say anything now. We'll deal with that girl sooner or later. Does she think that just bringing two girls here, so she can keep an eye on Concubine Wan?"

Qian Yuge shouted, "Mother, now is not a matter of Concubine Wan, but the day after tomorrow. What should I do the day after tomorrow? Is this how you lose your face?"

On one side, the mother and daughter were trying to think of a way to deal with Mu Yexiao, while on the other hand, Qian Jiujiu, who had just came from Shang Shu Manor, look at Mu Yexiao with a victory look.

"Mu Yexiao, I never thought that we would have such a tacit understanding."

Mu Yexiao rubbed his nose and coughed twice. He had now figured out a rule, that if there was something Qian Jiujiu needed help with, she would call him; Your highness.

When she was free, or when she was out of problems, she would just call Mu Yexiao by his name. It was realistic enough as he chuckled and looked at Qian Jiujiu.

"Jiu'er, this move of yours is pretty good. In comparison, I still like it when you call me husband."

Qian Jiujiu curled her lips: "I didn't do that voluntarily, you forced me to do it. Besides, how are you going to call it destroying the bridge after crossing the river? I'm still very grateful to you. "

Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu with a smile that was not really a smile, "Could it be that Jiu'er thinks that everything is alright now. I remember that you said you would invite someone to admire the flowers the day after tomorrow, right? "

Qian Jiujiu nodded her head: "That's right, it's the day after tomorrow. Inviting people to admire the flowers, what's the matter?"

Mu Yexiao shot a glance at Qian Jiujiu, "I say, Jiu'er, what should I say? Have you seen any flowers in my manor?"

These words caused Qian Jiujiu to be stunned: "I've never been wandering around your manor before, how would I know if there are flowers or not. Mu Yexiao, you don't have to tell me. Your manor is so big, yet you don't have a single flower, right?"

Mu Yexiao nodded his head, "I am a man, what flowers do I raise in this manor? Before you came, there aren't even a female slave, yet had flowers, even grass is very little."

Qian Jiujiu was immediately dumbstruck, as if that was really the case. Inside the Prince Manor, other than Hong Ling and Hong Chou, no one else saw a woman, not to mention a flower.

Looking at Qian Jiujiu's cute expression, Mu Yexiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Qian Jiujiu immediately understood one thing, this Mu Yexiao was setting a trap for her again.

Coughing twice, she asked, "Then, my dear prince, what brilliant ideas do you have?"

Mu Yexiao did not say anything, Qian Jiujiu was depressed, but she could not do it the day after tomorrow, it would truly be shameful if she did not show it to others.

Qian Jiujiu did not give up and looked at the Prince manor, "Hong Ling, lead the way. I don't believe that the Prince manor can't find any flowers."

Hong Ling did not know what to say, and only gave Mu Yexiao a glance. Mu Yexiao could only smile and look at Qian Jiujiu: "Since Jiu'er has this kind of heart, you have to take a good look at your own home. Then lead the way, Hong Ling. Let her take a good look at the manor."

Hong Ling helplessly looked at Qian Jiujiu, "Then please, Your highness, your servant will lead the way."

Qian Jiujiu snorted: "Quickly lead the way."

Hong Ling walked in front while Qian Jiujiu followed behind. The two of them walked around the Manor once, but Qian Jiujiu felt a little helpless, and gave up on that idea.

"Fine, there are really no flowers in the palace. There isn't even a little wild flower. How can this be so?"

She angrily rushed in front of Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, tell me, what can I do for you to get these flowers, that's not right, I can go out and buy them myself."

"Why should I ask you, hmph! Hong Ling, go and get some silver. I don't believe that the entire capital don't have flowers."

Mu Yexiao opened his mouth again and rubbed his nose. "My princess, are you sure you want to go? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? The invitation has already been sent out and you're still looking for flowers? "

Qian Jiujiu snorted indifferently: "Your bad temper is known by everyone and everyone knows that you don't like flowers. If I were to invite someone to admire the flowers, wouldn't I have to go out and buy them? Everyone knows this, so why are you laughing at me? Since you're not helping me, why aren't you allowing me to save myself?!"

As she spoke, Qian Jiujiu walked around Mu Yexiao: "Or is it that Your highness actually wants to see that I'm being laughed at?"

When Mu Yexiao heard Qian Jiujiu's tone, he suddenly felt a sense of danger: "My wife, speaking of it, us husband and wife, if you're being laughed at, I'm also."

"As for the flowers, my wife, you don't have to go around tormenting yourself. There are a lot of them in my courtyard, I have already instructed Dong Chen to make the arrangements. Just keep your silver."

Qian Jiu blinked. "Your highness, you're such a good person. Why didn't you say so earlier? I even misunderstood you."

Mu Yexiao humphed twice: "Who knew that princess consort Xiao didn't believe me? I am very sad."

Qian Jiujiu coughed twice and thought: Why do I feel like the Mu Yexiao in front of me act like a prideful girl? Could it be that he's waiting for me to take care of him?

"Your highness, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you. I will accept the punishment."

After saying that, Qian Jiujiu closed her eyes and said, "Whatever Your Highness wishes to punish me for, I will accept it."

Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu who had acted in such a manner, and felt satisfied in his heart. "Will you accept it? You have to keep your word."

Qian Jiujiu nodded her head: "A man's words are worth a thousand gold, although I am not a man, but I am a woman, and I will keep my word."

Mu Yexiao was a little confused. What does a woman mean? But now was not the time to look into this. He looked at Qian Jiujiu and coughed twice to collect his strength.

"Alright then. How about this, I'll punish you. From now on, you can only call me hubby, and leave the rest to me."

Qian Jiujiu curled her lips, she knew that this Mu Yexiao had a goal, and smiled at Mu Yexiao: "Hubby, in truth, I also want to accept my punishment, but on many occasions, not calling you Your Highness won't do."

"You said that when I called you Hubby in the room, it show the taste of a woman's room, right? If I call you that in front of Imperial father and Mother, that would be disrespectful. "

"Husband, can you bear for me to be scolded?"

Mu Yexiao thought for a while, and thought that it was true, "Then let's change it. You must call me husband in private."

Qian Jiujiu nodded. "Yes, Your Highness, Jiu'er understands."

"Then what about now! Your highness, can you take me to see the flowers you brought back? "

Mu Yexiao nodded his head, "Alright, I will personally bring you there."

As he said that, he brought Qian Jiujiu to a flower shed: "Did you see that, this was built a few days ago. After you came, I was thinking, all women like flowers."

"You are definitely not an exception, so I have already had someone prepare a flower shed.The Capital of The Great Zhou has a variety of species are all here, you can arrange them when you want."
