Lee Heng looked at Little Nine complacently with a look of admiration, ”Looks like Little Nine has taken a fancy to this jade pendant of hers. Grandpa Mo, she was the one who caught it this time. You can't give it up!” As he said that, Lee Heng took the jade pendant from Mo Pingchu and hung it on Little Nine's body.

Looking at the smiling crown prince, then at Little Nine, who only knew how to hold onto her jade pendant and laugh foolishly, the old man thought of the prophecy of the master when Little Nine was just born, and his heart skipped a beat.

The old man took a deep breath and comforted himself. The crown prince was already thirteen years old, and he was a full round behind Little Nine. It was definitely impossible. This thought suppressed the palpitation in his heart.

However, the old man was unwilling for Little Nine to grab this troublesome jade pendant. With a frown, he shamelessly asked, ”What do you mean you've taken a fancy to it?” My family's Little Nine is in the Zhou Dynasty, you can't count it even if you put a jade pendant on! ”

Lee Heng didn't think that the old man would actually act shamelessly, but looking at this old man's appearance, he felt very close to him. He laughed and retorted, ”Didn't I see you put a sheath? ”Pingchu and the others also placed something on top. They thought it was a custom of Mo Family, so they placed a jade pendant on top of it. But who would have thought that Little Nine actually took a fancy to it? How can it not count?

The old tutor was speechless. Was this really his fault? The Crown Prince was a cunning man, how could he give them a beating?

Lee Heng added: ”Didn't you hope for Little Nine to become Great General in the future? ”This jade pendant was obtained by Grandmother in the past. It is fated to be in Little Nine's hands today!”

The old man couldn't help but glare at Lee Heng. Brat, you're adding oil to the fire, putting my Little Nine in the same category as the female emperor of the Kaiyuan Palace, are you trying to kill me?

The old mistress' eyes glimmered as she smiled, ”Your Highness must be joking. Little Nine is a girl, I don't wish for her to become outstanding in the future. I only hope that she can live a peaceful life; furthermore, Little Nine has eight brothers. Your Highness, there is no need to take my jokes seriously. I have already helped Little Nine thank you for your good intentions. I just hope that she will be as spiritual as this beautiful jade in the future. That will be her fortune! ”

Sensitive to the subtle atmosphere, Mo Pingchu quickly said, ”Grandmother is right. With eight of our brothers, there is no need for Little Nine to be Great General. Just be happy!”

”Since sister has grown up, she only cares about what she likes. As her elder brother, it's only natural for us to be the ones to fight for her!” Mo Pingyun patted his chest with a determined look on his face, causing everyone to laugh.

Laughter covered all the movements in the undercurrents. Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jingniang carried Little Nine, who was wearing the Dragon Marking Jade Pendant, off the stage. The old man and the others escorted Lee Heng to the banquet hall.

During the meal, Lee Heng told the old man a piece of good news: the empress was pregnant too!

The old man couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at the excited Lee Heng, the old man suppressed the waves in his heart and told him in a low voice to be extra careful.

Lee Heng looked at the old man in confusion. His mother had gotten better and was pregnant, so her relationship with father had also become harmonious. Everything was inconceivable. What should he be careful of?

However, there were some words that the Old Man couldn't say to Lee Heng. He could only warn him to be careful of everything and also sent a message to Mo Taiwu, telling him to pay extra attention to the imperial court and the imperial harem.
