Chapter 522: The affairs of the royal family are the affairs of the court!
Fang Jinyu had just seen Qin Huan's failure and before she could say a few words, she was silenced by Mu Qingqing.
I was planning to leave here and go to the most prosperous and lively streets in Shengjing City to look for some rare things that are not available in Tianyong City, and go back to please my father.
Anyway, before she left, her father gave her a handful of banknotes, enough for her to squander for a long time.
However, when Fang Jinyu heard the butler say that the Third Prince was coming to see Mu Qingqing, she immediately changed her mind. Even if she had to delay, she would delay until she met the Third Prince.
The two sisters each have their own ulterior motives and are trying every means to hook up with the man of their choice.
The tall maid standing behind would steal glances at Qin Yao from time to time.
Of course, Ali Jiujiu, who was sitting next to Qin Yao, was completely ignored by him.
For those who do great things, who would care about a three-year-old kid?
Ali Jiujiu had long noticed that the tall maid was secretly glancing at Qin Yao from time to time, but she pretended not to know and diligently prepared food for Qin Yao with her little hands.
Humph! You little bastard, as long as you don't make a move, I will treat you as if you don't exist.
Fang Shiyu respectfully took the jade pendant from Qin Yao and thanked her politely: "Yuyu thanks Auntie, Yuyu likes this jade pendant very much."
Fang Shiyu actually wanted to play with Ali Jiujiu. Seeing him sitting quietly beside Qin Yao, his two little hands kept helping Qin Yao get food.
So he gave up the idea of asking Ali Jiujiu to play together, and silently walked to the seat next to Fang Jinyan and sat down quietly.
Qin Huan's nervous mood had calmed down by now, but the expression on her face looked very bad, as if someone owed her eight million taels of silver.
Qin Yao did not intend to break up with her for the sake of her adoptive father, Mr. Qin, and her adoptive mother, Madam Qin.
Then he smiled at Qin Huan and said, "Little sister, Qingqing's words just now were a bit harsh, don't take it to heart. However, what she said is also true. Women never discuss politics. I never discuss matters related to the court with your brother-in-law."
Qin Huan carefully looked outside before speaking in a stammering voice: "But this, this, this is not a major event in the court..."
"The affairs of the Heavenly Family are the affairs of the imperial court! How can a minister be the master of the Heavenly Family?"
Qin Yao's face turned cold when she saw that Qin Huan still looked unaware of the seriousness of the matter.
I really don’t know how she has been able to survive all these years?
Before Qin Huan got married, she was considered a talented woman with some fame in the capital.
How come after becoming the wife of the mayor of Tianyong City, she has wasted her previous talents and brains and doesn't even understand such a simple truth.
Qin Yao even suspected that she married a fake city lord.
If he is really the city lord, after being trained by him for so many years, Qin Huan should have a calm personality, be able to do things in a relaxed and measured way, and be able to control his facial expressions.
How could Qin Huan not know this!
However, her current situation was that she had no choice but to do it.
In order to avoid being divorced by City Lord Fang, she could only continue to play dumb, "Sister, we are talking about our children's marriage now, not a national event. If this is successful, it will be a great joy!"
Qin Yao looked at Qin Huan as if she were an idiot. Seeing that she still showed no remorse for a long time, she couldn't help but shook her head.
"Little sister, I've explained everything to you. If you still don't understand, there's nothing I can do to help you."
After Qin Yao finished speaking, she picked up the teacup on the table and sipped the tea slowly. It was obvious that she wanted to see the guest off.
It seems that I have to explain this to my father and mother later to avoid them misunderstanding me.
Qin Huan didn't expect Qin Yao to refuse so directly. He sat in the chair in a daze, not knowing what to do.
In order to stay and find an opportunity to get close to Nangong Qi, Fang Jinyan stepped forward to help Qin Huan and said, "Aunt, mother may be a little tired after traveling these days, so she said this. You are a magnanimous person, don't take it to heart with mother."
In order to stay and have a chance encounter with the Third Prince, Fang Jinyu did not say anything this time.
Only the chubby Fang Shiyu, not knowing what was going on in the hall, asked in a daze: "Aunt, can Yuyu stay for lunch and have lunch with brother Xiaojiu?"
Qin Yao wanted to refuse, but when she saw Fang Shiyu's clear and pure eyes looking at her hopefully, she couldn't help but soften her heart.
Qin Yao nodded and whispered to Nanny Qin beside her, asking her to go to the kitchen and tell them to set up two tables for lunch, separated by screens, one for men and one for women.
Qin Yao didn't want her prince son-in-law to sit at the same table with such a lowly girl.
If Qin Huan had not made such an unreasonable request before, and Fang Jinyu had not shown such an arrogant and domineering personality, Qin Yao would not have been so wary of them.
But their performance today really disappointed Qin Yao.
Is it necessary to continue this family relationship? Qin Yao plans to ask Mu Qingqing later to see what her plans are.
In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Mu and Ye Nanli had been expressing their opinions to each other regarding the management of the people of Beimo Kingdom and the construction of cities.
As for which officials to send to garrison in the Northern Desert Kingdom, Prime Minister Mu will be responsible for recommending the civil servants.
As for the military generals stationed in Beimo Kingdom, Ye Nanli felt that the newly promoted major generals from Shengjing City could be stationed there in turns.
If they were to remain on duty in the capital city all the time, Ye Nanli was afraid that these young generals would waste their skills and lose their wolf-like blood at such a young age.
It would be a good idea to let them go to the Beimo Kingdom, a nation with a tough folk character, to train their bodies.
"What about Beimu City? What is Qingqing's plan?"
What Prime Minister Mu is most concerned about now is the fiefdom that belongs to Mu Qingqing alone - Beimu City.
This has nothing to do with Donglin Kingdom anymore. From now on, that place will be Qingqing's fiefdom alone.
To put it bluntly, even if Ye Nanli and Qingqing divorce in the future, Beimu City will still belong to her alone, and even Emperor Tai'an cannot take it back without permission.
Ye Nanli would never have thought that her father-in-law had even thought about what would happen to them after their future divorce.
The third prince Ye Tianran followed the servants of the mansion to the study. As soon as he came in, he respectfully saluted Ye Nanli and Prime Minister Mu.
If the Third Prince had not yet taken Mu Qingqing as his master, Prime Minister Mu would have had to bow and salute him when he saw him.
Now that he has become Mu Qingqing's direct disciple, Prime Minister Mu, who is Mu Qingqing's father, is worthy of the Third Prince's respect.
Prime Minister Mu asked Ye Tianran to sit aside and ordered Zhaocai to serve him new tea and snacks.
Prime Minister Mu continued to discuss the trivial matters of Beimo Kingdom with Ye Nanli, from the promotion and demotion of officials to the people's livelihood issues, all of which were discussed in detail.
Ye Tianran listened carefully from the side and wrote down the interesting parts with a pen in his notebook.
Ye Nanli glanced at Ye Tianran who was taking notes seriously, and continued to discuss with Prime Minister Mu.
When Mu Qingqing came in, she saw two experienced teachers who were teaching very motivated students without being noticed.
When Ye Tianran saw Mu Qingqing coming in, he stood up and bowed respectfully to Mu Qingqing: "Disciple greets Master!"
Mu Qingqing nodded and walked to the seat opposite him and sat down, then asked calmly, "I heard from the housekeeper that you have something to talk to me about?"
