Chapter 191

"Then let's stay for a while longer..."

Xiao Yao'er blinked her big, watery eyes and whispered with a little uncertainty in her tone. She lowered her head slightly, and her two small hands were restlessly fidgeting with the corners of her clothes, as if she was struggling with some undecidable issue in her heart.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from far and near.

I saw a gentle and dignified woman in gorgeous palace clothes slowly walking in from the door.

Behind her were several maids and eunuchs, walking lightly like a beautiful painting.

"Why stay a while longer, Xiao Yao'er? Could it be that you, little guy, are ready to leave the imperial capital?"

The woman's red lips opened slightly, and her voice was gentle and melodious, as beautiful as an oriole emerging from the valley.

She smiled and looked at Xiao Yao'er lovingly, her eyes full of concern.

Hearing this familiar and kind voice, Xiao Yaoer suddenly raised her head.

When she saw the person clearly, her originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

"Grandma Queen..."

Xiao Yao'er shouted excitedly, then she couldn't wait to spread her legs and flew towards the woman like a cheerful deer.

Seeing Xiao Yao'er running toward him so eagerly, a doting smile suddenly appeared on the face of the woman known as the Queen's Grandma.

She quickly quickened her pace and rushed forward, fearing that Xiao Yao'er would accidentally fall to the ground if she ran too fast.

"Hey! My little baby, run slower, but don't fall..."

Grandma Queen called softly while opening her arms, ready to welcome Xiao Yao'er.

Seeing Xiao Yao'er getting closer and closer, Grandma Queen's heart rose to her throat.

Finally, at the critical moment, she successfully caught Xiao Yao'er who threw herself into her arms.

At that moment, she held Xiao Yao'er tightly in her arms, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world, cautiously, not daring to relax at all.

"Grandma Queen, you are finally here..."

Xiao Yao'er flew into the Queen's arms like a cheerful bird, holding her two chubby little hands tightly around the Queen's neck, with an innocent smile on her face, and said in a sweet voice.

The queen looked at the extremely cute little girl in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a surge of love in her heart.

She patted Xiao Yao'er's back gently and smiled softly: "If you don't come again, I'm afraid you, little girl, will run away without a trace and will soon leave the imperial capital. Tell me, Grandma, am I not entertaining you well enough to make you want to leave the imperial capital?"

Xiao Yaoer quickly shook her head and said coquettishly:

"No way! Grandma Queen is so kind to me, so good that I can't bear to leave! That's why I want to stay with you for a while longer."

As he said that, he didn't forget to wink at the queen with his big, watery eyes, which looked very playful and cute.

Hearing Xiao Yao'er's sweet words, the queen smiled from ear to ear and praised repeatedly:

"Oh, look at this sweet little mouth, it really makes people happy! It would be great if you could really become my granddaughter."

As soon as she finished speaking, the queen suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at Si Jinxuan who was standing aside.

Si Jinxuan's watery eyes widened, innocence and confusion written all over her face.

She sat there quietly, not even daring to take a breath, let alone speak.

But who would have thought that she would still be involved in trouble for no apparent reason.

"Hmph, you girl, how dare you stare at me?"

The queen glared angrily and asked in a stern tone: "You are so old and you don't know how to find yourself a consort! How can you behave!"

Ever since Xiao Yao'er appeared in the imperial capital, the queen's attitude towards Si Jinxuan has undergone a 180-degree change. No matter what Si Jinxuan does or says, it seems to be wrong in the eyes of the queen.

Nowadays, whenever Si Jinxuan sees the queen, her heart will beat involuntarily, as if there is a frightened deer running rampant in her chest.

Every time she faced the Queen's critical and dissatisfied eyes, she would feel an inexplicable guilt and panic, fearing that she would accidentally make the Queen angry again.

"I didn't say anything either!"

Si Jinxuan's pretty face was full of grievance, like a frightened little rabbit.

She stood up slowly, as gently as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

Then, she carefully moved back, each step appearing so cautious, and finally gave up her position to the incomparably noble Queen.

Just as the queen sat down with her lovely little Yao'er in her arms, her beautiful eyes inadvertently glanced at Si Jinxuan.

This glance may seem casual, but the profound meaning contained in it is elusive.

Who would have thought that the princess, who was always dignified, majestic and aloof in front of outsiders, would actually show such a weak and helpless side at this moment?

If those people outside who were in awe of the eldest princess saw it, they would probably be stunned on the spot, and even doubt whether they were in a dream!

However, Si Jinxuan could not care about this at this time.

When she found out that the queen was present, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She hurriedly stepped forward to salute the queen, and whispered a few words to the queen.

Then, as if she had received some kind of permission, she turned around and left in a hurry, with a quick but firm step.

She was anxious to report the important news she had just received to her father.

This time, the request for alliance cannot be easily agreed to in any case! After all, with Lin Qingzhi's help as a guarantee, how can we compromise with the barbarians?

Back then, the barbarians were rampant and killed countless innocent people in the Xia Dynasty. Their crimes were innumerable!

Now, we finally have the opportunity to use the power of that mysterious army to completely wipe out these barbarians and make them pay for their crimes with blood.

Not only that, we can also take advantage of the situation to incorporate the fertile and vast grassland into the territory of the Xia Kingdom, which is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

At this moment, Emperor Si Lingtian, who was far away in the palace, had learned the news that the barbarians were about to come to the Xia Dynasty to seek an alliance as early as last night.

So, he summoned all the ministers in the court overnight to discuss countermeasures together.

This discussion has lasted for several hours, with everyone expressing their opinions and arguing endlessly.

Actually, last night Si Lingtian originally planned to invite his most beloved daughter Si Jinxuan to discuss this matter together.

Unfortunately, Si Jinxuan was busy taking care of the young and lovely Xiao Yaoer to sleep, and was really unable to do anything else, so Si Lingtian had to give up the idea.

In Si Lingtian's mind, the alliance with the barbarians was just a trivial matter.

In comparison, taking good care of Xiao Yaoer is the most important thing!

You know, if Xiao Yaoer is not properly taken care of and causes her to encounter an accident, once that senior arrives, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Not to mention that Lin Qingzhi easily restored the three puppets in the court to their original state, and even significantly improved their abilities.

And the battle that took place in the imperial court made the entire imperial capital extremely panicked and terrified.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly stepped into the imperial study. He lowered his voice and said to Si Lingtian:

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess wants to see you."

Hearing this, Si Lingtian's face instantly bloomed with joy, and he hurriedly said:

"Xuan'er is here? Please come and invite her!"

However, when seeing Si Lingtian's expression, the three princes standing below couldn't help but look at each other.

Although they knew that they had no chance of the throne, they still couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unwillingness when they saw their father doting on this imperial sister.

The obscure haze flashed through their eyes, as if hiding endless resentment and dissatisfaction.

But they couldn't do anything to their eldest sister. Not to mention that their father and several ancestors didn't allow it, the mysterious strong man standing behind their eldest sister could make the three of them feel extremely difficult.

Thinking of the mysterious strong man, the second prince Si Jinshu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

The strong man's daughter is not only in the palace, but also the strong man's sister.

If he could become the strong man's brother-in-law...

A glimmer of hope rose in Si Jinshu's heart.
