Chapter 659 - 659. Men and Women Are Different

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zeyu walked into Cining Palace with a smile on his face. He looked at his son with satisfaction—obedient, good boy.

“I am his mother.”

Su Qing glared coldly at Xiao Zeyu. Xiao Zeyu replied with a straight face

, “Men and women are different.”.

“There’s a difference between men and women.” Xiao Qi nodded in agreement.

Su Qing choked on her son’s words. So, could she kiss him or not?

“It’s all your fault. The child is only one and a half years old.”

Su Qing vented her anger on Xiao Zeyu. There was no such thing as paying her respects.

“He has to be educated since he is young.”

Xiao Zeyu was still talking nonsense with a straight face.

“Shuisheng!”

Zhou Bo suddenly appeared. The old Taoist priest had gone to the toilet. As soon as he came in, he saw his junior nephew. The old Taoist priest called him with a smile.

“Uncle’s Master, you’re back too.”

Xiao Zeyu became obedient when he saw his uncle. Zhou Bo nodded. “Have you found out?”

“I found out. They’ve all been beheaded.”

Xiao Zeyu nodded his head. After returning to the capital, he started to investigate thoroughly. He hadn’t expected it to be a small imperial horse soldier in the Imperial Horse Park. All the horses in the palace were under his control.

Xiao Zeyu and the others had used the horses and carriages from the Imperial Horse Park to leave the capital. This Imperial Horse Guard was very smart. Based on the number of carriages used, he determined that the Emperor had left the palace.

In addition to this Imperial Horse Soldier, a palace maid from the Cining Palace was also their spy. When Yang Ruxue was chatting with the children, she mentioned when Mother would return. She had even mentioned Mo City.

The palace maid judged that the Empress had gone to Mo City with the Emperor, so she passed the information to her Master.

After receiving the information, they began to make meticulous preparations, which was why Li Daniu and Yeluchun were involved.

Xiao Zeyu immediately ordered his men to capture these two spies and interrogate them. All the spies in the capital were captured and beheaded.

“Qing’er, are you hungry? I’ve already instructed the imperial kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes.”

After Xiao Zeyu finished talking about work, he turned to Su Qing with a doting expression.

“Alright!”

Su Qing nodded. She had to wash up and change her clothes. When she arrived, she was pestered by the two babies and hadn’t had time to shower.

Xiao Chen could not fight with his nephew and niece. When he finally saw his sister put the two children on the ground, he immediately ran over and looked up sweetly.

“Big sister.”

Su Qing smiled and rubbed her little brother’s head.

“Little Chen has grown taller again.”

Su Qing looked past Little Chen to look for Xiao Qi. She had been back for a while. In the past, Xiao Qi would run over happily when she saw her. Where did she go today?

“Master, I’m here.”

Su Qing was able to get whoever she wanted. Xiao Qi ran into Cining Palace with her short legs; her eyes were filled with guilt, and she didn’t dare to look at Su Qing.

“Where did you go?”

Su Qing’s face darkened. She left Xiao Qi behind to protect the children.

“I… I’ll go save… I saved someone.”

Xiao Qi lowered her head. Her two little hands were tight, and her voice became lower and lower, like a child who had done something wrong.

Su Qing saw that Xiao Qi was afraid, so her voice wasn’t as strict.

“Save who?”

“It’s just a small spirit beast. Master, can you take him in? Its owner is dead!”

Xiao Qi plucked up her courage and begged Su Qing. This was the first time she begged her Master.

Su Qing glanced at her. What kind of little spirit beast was it? To make Xiao Qi so concerned and even help him find her Master.

Xiao Qi was so scared that she shrank her neck. Her eyes were filled with pity, but even so, she did not back down. She had to find a master for Little Lingling.

“Male or female?”

Su Qing looked at Xiao Qi in amusement. She was terrified, but she was still standing there.

Xiao Qi’s face turned red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s,

”… It’s a little boy!”

“Oh, ask him to come and see me later.”

Su Qing nodded. She didn’t agree to Xiao Qi’s request, but she nevertheless gave her hope.

“Thank you, Master. Master is the best. Xiao Qi’s Master is the best.”

Su Qing’s face darkened. What was this? Xiao Qi’s flattery was the same.

“Qing ‘ er, shall we drink?”

Zhou Bo was tired. He felt like his old waist was about to break after walking. He had to drink more to replenish his energy.

“Drink some.”

Su Qing smiled and nodded. The family went into the palace to eat watermelons. These watermelons couldn’t be bought outside. Su Qing planted them personally. First, she closed the shed. When others started planting watermelons, her watermelon seedlings had already bloomed. It was almost a month earlier than the watermelons on the market.

“It’s so sweet. This is the sweetest watermelon I’ve ever eaten.”

Zhou Bo was full of praise after eating a piece of watermelon. He looked at Su Qing and asked,

“Qing girl, is there anything you don’t know?”

“Still… I don’t.”

Everyone thought Su Qing would say yes, but she wasn’t modest.

A capable person has the capital of a cow. Think about it carefully, isn’t that right? There was nothing Su Qing didn’t know.

After dinner, Su Qing returned to her bedroom to shower. After that, she wanted to have a good sleep.

Xiao Zeyu didn’t go to Yangxin Palace Hall to approve the memorials and poured hot water for Su Qing to bathe.

The palace maids serving at the side were already used to it. Other emperors had to be served by consorts and concubines, but their Emperor and consort were the opposite.

“Qing’er, it’s been hard on you.”

Xiao Zeyu tilted the water ladle in his hand slightly, and the warm water slowly flowed out and sprinkled on Su Qing’s fair shoulders. The water droplets were crystal clear but still not as attractive as Su Qing’s skin.

Xiao Zeyu’s voice was a little hoarse. After being alone for so long, his wife was finally back.

Su Qing closed her eyes and enjoyed her husband’s care. The warm water could relieve her fatigue. When she heard Xiao Zeyu’s words, she opened her eyes and looked back at him.

“Shuisheng, I took the initiative to help you agree to one thing.”

“What is it?”

Xiao Zeyu’s hands paused as he asked Su Qing.

“I promised Li Daniu you would bestow him with a wedding.”

“Qing’er’s decision is exactly what I want.”

Xiao Zeyu laughed. Daniu was too honest. He was easily deceived. It was better for him to help him find a good wife.

“And…”

Su Qing smiled when she saw Xiao Zeyu agree. Xiao Zeyu continued,

“Are you talking about Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan’s marriage?”

“Yes.”

Su Qing nodded. He had initially wanted to marry after giving his godmother and godfather the paella, but something had happened, and it was delayed.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already instructed my men to prepare everything. The Jiang family will be entering the capital in a few days. Once they arrive, we’ll have Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan get married.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xiao Zeyu had already made preparations. Zhong Yong had a house before, but that house wasn’t perfect. Today, Xiao Zeyu got him a good house.

“Shuisheng, I’m tired of fighting and killing all the time!”

Su Qing closed her eyes and lazily said to Xiao Zeyu.

“From now on, Qing ‘er will stay in the palace to farm. When I appease the world and the four seas return, I will hand over the country to Ziqi. I will accompany you to plant beside beautiful rivers and mountains.”

“Sounds good.”

Su Qing looked up at him and smiled. Xiao Zeyu saw Su Qing’s red lips and couldn’t help but lower his head…

“Reporting to the emperor, this lowly subject is here to report!”
