Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Xiao Mo's carriage stopped at the palace gate, and here he had to change to the palace's sedan chair to enter the palace.

As soon as he got off the carriage, a biting north wind blew over, and Xiao Mo felt his cheeks were cold.

Liang Zhiyun, who was standing not far behind him, was wearing thin clothes, and the cold north wind made her lips turn pale.

"Jiang Hengzhen has a cloak that he has never worn. Please give it to Zhiyun, so that she won't get sick from the cold when she arrives in the capital."

"Yes, little one, go right here."

Jiang Heng handed Liang Zhiyun a spare cloak placed on the carriage.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liang Zhiyun, whose face was red from the cold, reached out to take the cloak and wanted to step forward with gratitude, but was stopped by Jiang Heng.

"Miss Liang, please put it on quickly. The palace is too big for you. We will have to walk for a long time to get to Wutong Palace. Don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, Eunuch Jiang."

The thick cloak was unfolded, which was both heavy and warm. By the time Liang Zhiyun put it on, Xiao Mo had already boarded the sedan chair.

She bit her lip slightly. Just now, she wanted to get close to Xiao Mo and rub his dragon chariot. If she could wear Xiao Mo's cloak and ride the dragon chariot with him into the palace, everyone in the palace would look up to her in the future.

Unfortunately, she was a step too slow.

Ye Jintang, who had received the news a long time ago, learned that Xiao Mo had already boarded the dragon chariot at the palace gate. She did not waste any more time and took Ping Ping and An An to greet Xiao Mo. As for Nuan Nuan, she was too young and would probably get a runny nose if she stayed outside for a while in such a cold day.

When Xiao Mo left the palace, he left in a hurry and few court officials knew about it.

His return was grand and the court officials had known the exact time of Xiao Mo's return for several days.

The court officials were waiting in front of the Qianyuan Hall early this morning. They had arrived more than an hour earlier than Ye Jintang, and now all of them had red cheeks from the cold.

Ye Jintang brought the children over, and the court officials roughly understood that Xiao Mo should be here soon.

Sure enough, Ye Jintang had only been standing there for two cups of tea when he saw Xiao Mo and his men walking towards Qianyuan Hall in a mighty manner.

Ye Jintang stood on the steps and saw Liang Zhiyun following Xiao Mo a few steps away.

Although the two were still some distance away, Ye Jintang could see everything clearly. He knew it was Xiao Mo's by the length of the black cloak.

The heavy black makes Liang Zhiyun's face look even whiter and more pitiful.

Ye Jintang only took one look at Liang Zhiyun and sneered in his heart. With her appearance, she was not even as good as one of her fingers. Xiao Mo would only like her if he was blind.

As Xiao Mo approached, the court officials knelt down one after another. Ye Jintang also stepped forward and wanted to salute Xiao Mo, but was held back by him.

"Jintang, are you and the children okay?"

Xiao Mo picked up Ping Ping and An An in each hand and asked, "Why don't you see Nuan Nuan?"

"It was too cold, I didn't let Nuannuan come out."

Seeing that Xiao Mo had not yet lost his mind and forgotten about the children, Ye Jintang decided not to bother him for the time being.

The court officials were not blind, so they naturally saw the Liang Zhiyun in the rumors.

But from now on, Xiao Mo's eyes have never left Ye Jintang since he saw her. Even a blind person can see that Ye Jintang holds a special position in his heart.

It seems that the rumors are not true. Liang Zhiyun cannot shake Ye Jintang's position at all.

Liang Zhiyun, who was following behind Xiao Mo, thought that Xiao Mo would introduce her in front of everyone, but Xiao Mo seemed to have forgotten about her after seeing Ye Jintang.

After talking to Ye Jintang and the two children, Xiao Mo started talking to the ministers.

During the time he was away from the capital, a lot of things happened in the court, and the court officials also had to report to Xiao Mo, but not now.

Surrounded by the crowd, Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang returned to Wutong Palace together. Along the way, the two children chattered about what they had done in the palace in recent months. Xiao Mo did not find them annoying and listened to them patiently.

After returning to Wutong Palace, the two children stayed with Xiao Mo for a while before following the nanny downstairs. Xiao Mo went to see Nuannuan again.

When he left, Nuannuan was still a small ball, but when he came back, she had grown a lot.

She still loves to laugh. She was obviously scared to the point of crying when she first met Xiao Mo, but as soon as Xiao Mo held her in his arms and coaxed her a little, she started giggling.

"Our Nuan Nuan is just as her name suggests, she is daddy's warm little cotton-padded jacket."

Xiao Mo held Nuan Nuan tightly in his arms, and he loved her very much.

After a while, Nuannuan yawned a little, and he reluctantly handed her to the nanny.

The room finally became quiet, and Xiao Mo was able to have a few private words with Ye Jintang.

But before he could open his mouth, Ye Jintang spoke first.

"Your Majesty, please think about how to place Miss Liang."

Xiao Mo picked up the teacup on the small table and took a sip. Then he remembered Liang Zhiyun.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let Zhiyun live in Tingyuxuan first."

Tingyuxuan is usually where princesses live. What's Xiao Mo's intention in placing Liang Zhiyun there?

Ye Jintang was a little confused, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only do as she was told.

Liang Zhiyun, who had been waiting in the side hall, was extremely nervous at this moment.

She grew up in a small town and had never even left it.

She had never thought that she would be able to enter the palace one day, let alone be favored by the emperor.

Although Liang Zhiyun had never seen the world, she knew what it meant to enter the palace.

If she could become a concubine, she would enjoy endless wealth and glory in her life.

There was only one young palace maid serving in the side hall. Liang Zhiyun wanted to ask her about things in the palace, but the young palace maid knew nothing and told her nothing.

She gritted her teeth secretly. A little palace maid dared to embarrass her. It would not be easy for her to gain a foothold in the palace in the future.

Liang Zhiyun was best at pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. With red eyes, she looked at the palace maid Ronghua and whispered in a low voice.

"Sister Ronghua, I'm very nervous because it's my first time in the palace. That's why I want to talk to you. Please don't despise me."

She looked so frail and weak, which was very pitiful. However, Ronghua had worked in the palace for several years and had seen everything. She simply could not accept her behavior.

"Miss Liang, don't be nervous. Our Queen is the best. You will be fine if you just watch more and talk less."

Liang Zhiyun wanted to get some information from Ronghua, but no matter how she asked, Ronghua just perfunctorily answered her and didn't tell her any useful information.

She gritted her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do.

After waiting for a long time, the door of the side hall opened again.

The person who came was Aunt Zhang. She had a cold face and saw Liang Zhiyun and said in a non-enthusiastic voice, "The emperor asked the young lady to move to Tingyuxuan. Please come with me, Miss Liang."

Liang Zhiyun didn't know the rules of the palace. When she heard that Xiao Mo had given her a place to live, she thought she was a concubine.

"Thank you, mama."

After coming out of Wutong Palace, Nanny Zhang handed Liang Zhiyun over to a Nanny named Zhou. She had no intention of sending Liang Zhiyun to Tingyuxuan.

This made Liang Zhiyun unable to help but complain in her heart that this Nanny Zhang was so arrogant. The Emperor clearly asked her to send her to Tingyuxuan, but she was lazy and handed her over to other people.

After coming out of Wutong Palace and sitting on the sedan chair, Liang Zhiyun couldn't help but ask Nanny Zhou about Nanny Zhang's origins.
