Shi Xiangjun breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the princess would be so enthusiastic that she would take them to the capital, and then she wouldn't know how to refuse.

Fu Jiujiu's approachability made Shi Ce and Xiang relax a little, which of course was beyond their expectation.

The queen, who is so high above her, can actually chat about household matters. When asked about the harvest and next year's spring plowing, she talks in a clear and logical manner.

Shi Ce fell to the ground in admiration.

Old Mrs. Shi came in when everyone was laughing, and she was holding the second wife's daughter, Shi Xiangmei, in her hand. Shi Xiangmei was so coy that she couldn't even salute well.

It is understandable that the etiquette is not good, and Shi Xiangjun is not very good at etiquette. After all, they are in a small mountain village far away from the capital, and no one has taught them these things.

But Fu Jiujiu could tell it at a glance.

When Mrs. Shi saw that Fu Jiujiu ignored her, she smiled to herself, "Empress, I've never seen anyone as handsome as you, old lady."

Fu Jiujiu smiled faintly, looked at the two little sisters who came in, and said softly: "Luan'er, what did you and your sister whisper?"

Tang Luan closed his mouth tightly, "Mother, I promised my sister not to say anything, but...my sister said she won't go to the capital with us."

Fu Jiujiu looked at Shi Xiangjun, "Xiangjun, have you thought about it?"

"Go back to the queen, the daughter of the people has thought about it!" Shi Xiangjun replied calmly.

But Old Mrs. Shi gritted her teeth. There was no one in the third room who had a good head, "Queen, my little child is ignorant, what do you know? We are going, we are going!"

Shi Xiangjun frowned, "Grandma, I told you I wouldn't go."

"Tsk...you girl, the Queen is so kind to me, why are you so disobedient?" Mrs. Shi was so anxious that she even praised Haikou.

She said it in front of the villagers. This time, the Shi family was very different. They were going to live in the capital.

Fu Jiujiu didn't even look at her. It wasn't that she didn't respect the elderly, it was because some people did not respect the elderly.

"Xiangjun, you don't have to answer me in a hurry. We still have a few days to leave. You can think about it carefully. I really like you, not just because you are Luan'er's sister."

Fu Jiujiu even thought about it, recognizing her as a foster daughter, and it was not impossible for her to be the princess.

This child is neither humble nor arrogant, nor vain, but has the air of an elder sister at such a young age. She really likes her, and if you stay with her for a few days and teach her, she will definitely become an outstanding girl in the future.

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your kindness. I am very grateful to you. To be disrespectful, if my father brings the princess back, I will treat her as a member of our family and my sister. How can I be unkind to my own sister?" , as a sister, you should take care of your younger siblings."

Seeing that Fu Jiujiu was still smiling lightly, Shi Xiangjun said boldly: "Empress, my father and I have discussed that we will raise the princess for a few days. You saved my mother and everything is settled. I can rely on your kindness to go to the capital." Enjoying the glory and wealth, our family of four feels uneasy."

Tang Xian turned his head and glanced at the little girl, and nodded slightly. No wonder Jiujiu liked her, he also thought the girl was pretty good.

"In that case, I'll respect your wishes and don't go to the capital. What reward do you want?" Tang Xian asked.

Shi Ce quickly shook his head, "The common people...the common people don't want anything."

Tang Xian smiled, "What about 500 taels of silver and a hundred acres of fertile land?"

Shi Ce was frightened and Shi Xiangjun was speechless.Old Mrs. Shi was afraid that if her son refused again, she would not be able to go to the capital, so she would not get any benefits at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Third brother, are you so happy? Thank you quickly!"

Shi Ce glanced at his daughter. The father and daughter still shook their heads stubbornly, not wanting to accept this reward.

"Take it, Shi Ce. You have to take scientific examinations, and your wife also needs to take care of her health. The burden cannot fall on Jun Xiang's child. I will reward you with a house in the county town. Jun Xiang and Xiao Yue are both good children, and they will definitely do well in the future. Become a great weapon."

"Your Majesty, but... it's too... too much!"

Shi Xiangjun nodded, "Empress, the daughter of the people dares to ask the Empress for something."

"There are no outsiders here. I am Luan'er's mother and your elder. There is no need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Queen Mother. On the day the princess came to my house, our three-bedroom family had been completely separated. But now some people don't admit it. The daughter of the people dared to ask the Queen Mother to bear witness to us. Is this family divided? Or is it? It has to be counted.”

"Yes, we separated. They all disliked me and didn't want to raise me. Then we separated, mother and queen!"

Mrs. Shi really wanted to strangle Jun Shi Xiang to death, so why did she tell others everything?

"What's so difficult about this? If you say it out loud, it should be counted." Fu Jiujiu knew that Shi Xiangjun wanted to cut off those people's thoughts. She was a smart girl.

"There is one more thing, please accept the Queen's permission."

"Say, you kid is too polite."

"There is so much money that we can't use up, and we don't dare to use it. Moreover, my brother is still young and has a sudden windfall. It's easy for him to lose his mind. Even I... I'm afraid I will lose my fighting spirit as time goes by."

"You kid, you are so strong." Fu Jiujiu curled her lips, "I wanted to take you back to the capital and teach you well so that you will be a woman who will not be inferior to other women in the future."

Shi Xiangjun knew this was a good intention, "But I can't ignore my father, mother, and younger brother. When our family went to Beijing, they became moths attached to the princess. Although we are poor, we still want to live openly and depend on our own abilities. "

"Okay!" Tang Xian smiled, "Shi Ce, your daughter is amazing. This is the first time someone has refused the Queen's teaching. She is also the first person the Queen wants to teach. Mr. Xiang, three years later, I I hope I can see you again in the Jinluan Palace."

Shi Xiangjun took a deep breath, how did the emperor know that she had this intention, "Yes, the daughter of the people will not disappoint you, the emperor. If it doesn't happen in three years, it will take six years, or it will take nine years."

Fu Jiujiu nodded.

At this time, Mrs. Shi took the opportunity to speak again and pushed her eldest granddaughter forward, "Empress, Xiangjun's girl is ignorant and has disappointed you. Our Xiangmei is not bad either, and she is a sister. She's just as smart, take a look, why don't you take her to the capital!"

Shi Xiangmei nodded and bit her lip.

Fu Jiujiu smiled, "Why should I take her to the capital?"

"Don't you want to teach Mr. Xiang? If Mr. Xiang doesn't go, then you can take Xiang Mei with you..."

"Do you think I am too busy?" Fu Jiujiu's voice became colder, and his eyes became sharper. "Who is worthy of my teaching? The rich and powerful people in the capital are lining up to wait for this opportunity. What does she have? What’s outstanding?”

Shi Xiangmei swallowed her saliva, "I...I...I'm pretty, I'm obedient, and I will do whatever you ask me to do. Queen, please, take me away!" (End of Chapter)
