Chapter 362 Who can get the old man's praise and conviction first?
But, after all, she was the top scholar in the imperial examination twice. Even if her subordinates can't come up with any better names, they can't be so perfunctory, right?
Yu Jiuer pondered for a moment and said, "Let's name them according to their age, Shadow One, Shadow Two, Shadow Three, Shadow Four, Shadow Five and Shadow Six! It sounds like they fit in well with the prince's four great guards!"
The six female assassins looked at each other with delight on their faces, and they all bowed their hands in thanks: "Thank you, Chief Leader, for the name!"
At this moment, Yu Jiuer heard a tender and clear voice calling out: "Mother! Mother!"
This was the voice that haunted her dreams.
Yu Jiuer turned around hurriedly and saw two handsome and cute little kids running towards her excitedly in the distance on the avenue.
After not seeing her for nearly a year, her four-year-old son has grown into a little adult.
Yu Jiuer's breathing stagnated, and a strong sour smell came from her nose. She choked and opened her mouth for a long time before she called out their names: "Jing'er, Xin'er!"
She raised her feet and ran towards them.
The three maids, Chun'er, Xia'er and Qiu'er, who were following behind the two children, were running out of breath.
"Young Master, please run slower and wait for the servants!"
Yu Jiuer squatted down, opened her arms and held the child who rushed towards her tightly in her arms.
Xia Er wiped her tears and smiled, "As soon as they heard you were back, the two little grandchildren couldn't wait to come here."
After a long while, Yu Jiuer's excitement finally calmed down a little. With red eyes, she asked the children, "Do you miss mommy?"
"Bo!" Yu Jiuer kissed one and then the other, but no matter how many kisses she made it was not enough.
This time, her children could finally run happily on the road without any worries.
And she no longer had to disguise herself as a man and could serve as a female county magistrate in her hometown as a woman.
Everything is hard-earned!
Xin'er pouted and said aggrievedly, "We missed mother so much. Why did it take so long for mother to come back? Didn't you say you would be back soon?"
Jing'er looked at Yu Jiuer eagerly without saying a word, her little eyes full of longing for her mother.
"I'm sorry, mother was delayed by something. We won't be separated from now on!" Yu Jiuer touched Jing'er's little face that looked like Jun Mo, and then touched Xin'er's little head, feeling guilty.
Just when she was reluctant to part with them and was filled with emotion, Yu Jiuer felt a sudden emptiness in her arms, and the two treasures in her arms were snatched away by some annoying person.
I heard his sobbing voice vying for favor: "My two little sweethearts, you miss grandpa so much! Grandpa, hug me, and we will never be separated from now on!"
"We miss grandpa too!" the two children responded to him in baby voices.
Some people are just so unpleasant, such as this out-of-date guy in front of her. Yu Jiuer really wants to kick him into the field.
Jun Mo came over and took Yu Jiuer's hands, not allowing her to just stare at her son. He pulled her into his arms in front of everyone and said, "You only want your son, not your husband?"
"I want them all!" Yu Jiuer buried her head in Jun Mo's arms. The fear and worry she had suffered in the past few days finally disappeared at this moment. This embrace gave her strength from beginning to end and was the harbor she most wanted to dock.
However, before Yu Jiu'er could enjoy much of the warmth, a harsh voice rang out, "Hugging and embracing in broad daylight, how can it be allowed! Mo'er, no matter where you are, etiquette cannot be abandoned. You, the princess, are full of ruffian traits, don't let her infect you! It's embarrassing! The world is going downhill!"
Yu Jiuer was a little upset. It was Jun Mo who came to hug her, okay? How could it be her fault again?
Jun Mo didn't dare to disobey his father. He sighed barely audible and reluctantly let go of the person in his arms.
Yu Jiuer pouted and glared at the "old thing" who was ruining the view very rudely. She snorted in her heart: No hurry, now that we are in her territory, this "old thing" who relies on his seniority to bully others won't be able to show off for long, she has plenty of ways to deal with him.
The old emperor caught a glimpse of the calculation in Yu Jiuer's eyes, and shouted in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Look, look, what's her expression? Is it contempt? Concubine Duan, you should take good care of your daughter-in-law! After all, you are a gentle and dignified girl from a noble family, don't lose face because of such a daughter-in-law."
Concubine Duan showed disdain on her face, but she didn't want to embarrass her son, so she perfunctorily lowered her body and replied, "Yes!"
Ever since the day of the palace coup, she ran into the imperial study and begged him to let Jun Mo leave the dungeon for treatment, but he refused. The emperor's coldness had already chilled her heart and she no longer had any expectations of him.
The scars left on her face always reminded her that all her disasters were caused by the heartless man in front of her, whom she had loved for half her life.
He kept saying that he loved her, wasn't it because he was attracted by her gentleness and respectfulness as a girl from an aristocratic family? If he knew that after arriving in Yinshan County, she spent all day in the greenhouse with Yu Jiuer's mother growing vegetables, would he be angry to death?
The old emperor, who was still unaware of his mistakes, looked up at Prime Minister Rong and ordered him in his usual arrogant tone: "Rong Yun, you can't lose face even if you lose your official position. The Three Obediences and Four Virtues are virtues. You must always remind the younger generation not to forget them!"
"Yes!" Rong Yun responded with a bow.
Yu Jiuer rolled her eyes when she heard that. Was this "old thing" so anxious to canvass for votes before even reaching the doorstep?
Since you can't beat her, you want to form cliques everywhere?
Despise him! Yue!
The old emperor looked around at the neatly arranged shops on both sides of the road and the brand new buildings in the distance, then looked up at the hot air balloon flying in the sky and exhaled from his nostrils:
"Humph! Yu Wushuang is indeed evading taxes. I don't know how many things he has done secretly in Yinshan County, but he has been hiding it all this time? If he hadn't fallen off the cliff, I would have settled the score with him!"
This time, Yu Jiuer did not refute the old emperor's words. His seemingly reproachful words were actually an affirmation of Yu Wushuang's achievements.
This was the honor she wanted to win for her brother.
She was able to pass the palace examination successfully this time and take over as the county magistrate. Her brother can finally rest in peace!
The old emperor was a little uncomfortable that he didn't wait for Yu Jiuer's rebuttal this time. He looked at her twice more, and finally, proudly took the hands of his two little grandchildren and strode forward: "Where is Prince Jing's Mansion? Lead the way!"
Perhaps he really liked this bright spring day, fresh air, and clean and tidy place, so he didn't even bother to look at the carriage, and happily walked forward holding the children's hands.
Jun Mo looked at Yu Jiuer, exchanged glances with her, and then stepped forward personally to respectfully lead the way for the old emperor.
This is the filial piety and respect he has for this man who is both his king and his father, which is engraved in his bones.
Yu Jiuer didn't agree with that. If this "old thing" was a humble person with self-awareness, she wouldn't mind continuing to respect him. But he had already ruined the whole world, and yet he was still so unreasonable and arrogant. She wouldn't tolerate him.
The two children turned their heads to look at Yu Jiuer and waved at her: "Mom, come quickly!"
"You guys go back home with Grandfather first. Mom has some things to do and will be back later!"
After they walked away, Yu Jiuer asked the six female assassins, "Why? You don't want Yueying to be your leader?"
Yingyi, who had just been assigned a name, spoke first: "Can Yueying fight better than us?"
Yu Jiuer said ambiguously: "Maybe!"
"Then we will naturally not accept it!" Ying Er curled his lips.
"You may not understand that, when facing an enemy, sometimes it is not just about being strong in martial arts that can win." Yu Jiuer said with a smile, "Why don't you compete with her? How about competing in martial arts and brains?"
"I agree!" The six female killers and Yueying said in unison.
Yingyi asked again: "But what can brains compare to?"
"Let's see who can get the old man's praise and trust first!" Yu Jiuer raised her chin towards the old emperor in front of her, her eyes full of cunning. She also has a helper.
"Okay!" Yueying agreed without thinking.
But the other six people looked hesitant. They had escorted the "old guy" all the way and knew how difficult he was. Who would be convinced by such an arrogant and conceited person?
Apart from the chief leader, they firmly believed that no one else could conquer that "old thing". They wanted to see how capable this secret guard was.
