Yi Qian's eyes lit up with a hint of happiness. It was naturally excellent that Guan Xiaoyu was ordered to enter the palace. Guan Xiao Yu's devastatingly beautiful face flashed before his eyes once again. His heart was filled with anticipation, but he did not dare to show it in front of his mother.

Empress Chen He's eyes didn't leave her son. She had long since seen her son's surprised yet happy appearance. Seeing this, she couldn't help but sigh and plan things out.

”My son, do you like her?” Chen He asked in a calm tone.

Yi Qian also said that he had failed to conceal what he was thinking, and was afraid that his mother would punish him, so he kneeled down and said fearfully, ”This son knows his wrongs! Your son should not have acted rashly towards a married woman. Please punish her! ”

Who knew that Empress Chen He would gently help him up, and look at him with an appreciative gaze. ”My son, as the saying goes, a perfect lady, a noble is easy to catch! Even if my son likes her, there's nothing he can't do! Remember, you are the only one who can rule the world. All women in this world except your mother and your daughter are yours! So, you know what to do? ”

Yi Qian never thought that his mother would actually support him so much regarding women. He was overjoyed, and looked quite handsome.

”Queen Mother!” Your son knows what to do now! Since I like it, I should take it from you! In this world, no woman can say no to this son! ” Yi Qian stared out of the window, his voice exceptionally determined.

Cheng He answered with a 'hmm'. He was very satisfied with his son's attitude.

The mother and son pair agreed that they would send someone from the palace to the Marquis' Mansion the next day to announce the decree for Guan Xiaoyu and Chui Lingjun to meet the Empress.

Guan Xiaoyu and Che Lingjun didn't understand the situation, but since they couldn't disobey the imperial decree, they had no choice but to follow the court lady into the palace.

Empress Chen He knew what her son was thinking of Guan Xiaoyu and had her son wait inside her own palace. She had her confidante take him to the inner rooms to rest first.

She also claimed that she was very fond of her grandson, Che Lingjun. She also said that this matter of Xiao Yu marrying her husband definitely made him feel wronged and decided to give him some special comfort.

Che Lingjun was worried about Guan Xiao Yu's safety, and was afraid that if he left her alone, she would run into some trouble, so he kept giving her a meaningful look. Guan Xiao Yu had just entered the Ju Kun Palace, and this was the first time she had seen this young master of the harem. She couldn't figure out his temperament and didn't dare to act rashly.

Che Lingjun wanted to make a ruckus again, but was stopped by Empress Chen He just as he was about to reach out to grab Guan Xiaoyu's hand. She put on a loving and loving expression and said, ”Che'er, Aunt really missed you! Your mother died early, so your uncle and I should have protected you well. But who told you to protect the Fire Nation's crown prince? We can't force you! Che'er, you have to understand your uncles and aunties' difficulties! ”

While Cheng He was talking to Che Lingjun, he signaled the palace maid to take Guan Xiaoyu away quickly.

Guan Xiaoyu didn't know what the Empress was thinking, but she didn't dare to resist. With each step she took, she carefully followed the palace guide to the inner palace.

The inner hall was burning with an unknown fragrance, and the moment they entered it, it made them feel very good.

The surroundings were arranged in a pointed, well-defined, and exuded an aura of aloofness, as difficult to get close to as its owner.

In the innermost room was an elegant room. The faint fragrance of tea wafted over, as well as the jingling sound of a zither.

The door to the private room was ajar, and through the gap in the door one could see the back of a man playing a lute.

Guan Xiaoyu slowly approached and the zither stopped in its tracks. The man playing the zither didn't turn around. With a low and deep voice, he said, ”Friend, if you want to hear the zither, you can do it in broad daylight. Why do you need to be so secretive?”

Guan Xiaoyu coughed dryly as her face flushed red. In an instant, she felt as if she had been caught red-handed and embarrassed.

”Um, sorry, I didn't do it on purpose! ”I didn't expect the empress to have a man here!” Actually, what Guan Xiaoyu was thinking in her heart was, she hadn't expected the empress's palace to contain such a living man! Moreover, this man's voice could tell that he was young. Tsk, tsk, tsk. This empress had a male pet!

However, Guan Xiaoyu did not dare to say these thoughts.

While Guan Xiaoyu was thinking this, the man had already turned around.

He had a long, slanted face, a high nose bridge, full lips, a straight posture, and looked very much like Che Lingjun … Emma, this man is none other than the crown prince of Mu Country, Yi Qian!

When Yi Qian saw that it was Guan Xiaoyu, he was also stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter. After a few steps, he walked in front of Guan Yan and said eagerly, ”Jiu'er! You are Jiu'er! Why are you in Ju Kun Palace? ”

Guan Xiaoyu was extremely frightened by Yi Qian's passionate attitude. Before this, she had fought with this crown prince when she went to the Eastern Palace as Ninth Elder. She knew this person's temper very well, but it was as if this person had changed his face.

This was like a big wild wolf showing a loving smile to Little Red Riding Hood. It was truly a sight that made one's hair stand on end!

Guan Xiao Yu cautiously asked, ”Who are you?” Why do you know me? ”As for why I'm here, that's because the empress had ordered a meeting with me.”

Guan Xiao Yu's pretentious little white rabbit posture was very popular with Yi Qian, and she happily reached out to grab Guan Xiao Yu's hand. Guan Xiaoyu was startled and screamed as she dodged, ”Ah!” What are you trying to do! ”
