An awkward expression appeared on Zhu Xiu`er's face. Xu Bao'er shrank back in fear. Although she was still young, she still vaguely knew that her grandmother was the most powerful person in the family. Whether it was her parents or grandfather, they all had to listen to her. So Xu Bao'er looked at Zhu Xiu-Er and obediently walked to her mother's side. She then patted Xu Bao'er's head in satisfaction and gave Xu Jingniang a look, telling her to get back to work.

The movement in the Xu Family did not attract too much attention, everyone only focused on Little Nine who was crawling and crawling around. Seeing this scene, Mo Pingchu and the other brothers secretly exchanged a look of understanding. Because they were cousins and because Lin Bao'er was young, everyone had always given in to her, but they didn't expect her to do such a thing to Little Nine.

The first one to realize that there was something wrong was Mo Pingchu. When Little Nine stayed over for five months, Xu Bao'er came over to stay, but Mo Pingchu found that Little Nine, who had played very well with everyone, did not like to play with Xu Bao'er. Furthermore, every time Xu Bao'er approached Little Nine, Wolverine would become very fierce.

After careful observation, Mo Pingchu found out that Xu Bao'er actually took advantage of when everyone was not paying attention to her to secretly push Little Nine or pinch her. Little Nine was too young, so she wouldn't say anything even if she was bullied.

Mo Pingchu immediately made his brothers look at Little Nine closely. They didn't want Xu Bao'er to get close to Little Nine again, so he told her about this matter.

However, in Xu Jingniang's opinion, this was just a child's play. After all, Xu Bao'er was not even three years old and had always been a good girl. How could she possibly have any malicious intentions towards Little Nine?

Seeing that the adults weren't willing to believe it, Mo Pingchu didn't mention it again to anyone. However, the brothers secretly reached a consensus to be on high alert towards Xu Bao'er, not letting her and Little Nine get along alone.

The adults weren't clear about the conflict between the children, so Xu Jingniang and the rest were curious as to why Mo Pingchu and his brothers suddenly started to treat Xu Bao'er coldly.

Just like how adults always think that children don't understand the world of adults, adults don't know the world of children, and they don't know that the Mo Pingchu and his brothers have a completely different attitude towards Xu Bao'er. The older people like Mo Pingchu were able to conceal their displeasure. They didn't show it clearly, but the young Mo Pingjian still didn't know how to hide his displeasure towards Xu Bao'er, so he directly rejected her.

Little Nine still didn't understand her brothers' intention to defend. After tossing and turning for a while, she actually sat down and yawned, then stopped moving.

Everyone was stunned. The old gramps and the madame looked at each other and laughed bitterly. Just when everyone thought that Little Nine's attempt to capture Zhou was about to end in vain, Mo Pingjian suddenly shouted happily, "Sister is done for!"

Everyone looked over and saw Little Nine had something green wrapped around her lapel.

Mo Pingchu reached his hand out and pulled out the green object from Little Nine's bosom. Everyone looked over and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. The item in Little Nine's embrace was the Emperor's Dragon Marked Jade Pendant!

This … this was something that had never appeared before?

Mo Pingchu glanced at Lee Heng and immediately said, "Aiya, maybe Little Nine got wrapped up in it while she was crawling. Little Nine, quickly go and get someone you like for brother again!"

Little Nine, on the other hand, grinned and looked at Mo Pingchu. She pointed at the jade pendant and said, "Here, here!"

Lee Heng looked at Little Nine complacently with a look of admiration, "Looks like Little Nine has taken a fancy to this jade pendant of hers. Grandpa Mo, she was the one who caught it this time. You can't give it up!" As he said that, Lee Heng took the jade pendant from Mo Pingchu and hung it on Little Nine's body.

Looking at the smiling crown prince, then at Little Nine, who only knew how to hold onto her jade pendant and laugh foolishly, the old man thought of the prophecy of the master when Little Nine was just born, and his heart skipped a beat.

The old man took a deep breath and comforted himself. The crown prince was already thirteen years old, and he was a full round behind Little Nine. It was definitely impossible. This thought suppressed the palpitation in his heart.

However, the old man was unwilling for Little Nine to grab this troublesome jade pendant. With a frown, he shamelessly asked, "What do you mean you've taken a fancy to it?" My family's Little Nine is in the Zhou Dynasty, you can't count it even if you put a jade pendant on! "

Lee Heng didn't think that the old man would actually act shamelessly, but looking at this old man's appearance, he felt very close to him. He laughed and retorted, "Didn't I see you put a sheath? "Pingchu and the others also placed something on top. They thought it was a custom of Mo Family, so they placed a jade pendant on top of it. But who would have thought that Little Nine actually took a fancy to it? How can it not count?

The old tutor was speechless. Was this really his fault? The Crown Prince was a cunning man, how could he give them a beating?

Lee Heng added: "Didn't you hope for Little Nine to become Great General in the future? "This jade pendant was obtained by Grandmother in the past. It is fated to be in Little Nine's hands today!"

The old man couldn't help but glare at Lee Heng. Brat, you're adding oil to the fire, putting my Little Nine in the same category as the female emperor of the Kaiyuan Palace, are you trying to kill me?

The old mistress' eyes glimmered as she smiled, "Your Highness must be joking. Little Nine is a girl, I don't wish for her to become outstanding in the future. I only hope that she can live a peaceful life; furthermore, Little Nine has eight brothers. Your Highness, there is no need to take my jokes seriously. I have already helped Little Nine thank you for your good intentions. I just hope that she will be as spiritual as this beautiful jade in the future. That will be her fortune! "

Sensitive to the subtle atmosphere, Mo Pingchu quickly said, "Grandmother is right. With eight of our brothers, there is no need for Little Nine to be Great General. Just be happy!"

"Since sister has grown up, she only cares about what she likes. As her elder brother, it's only natural for us to be the ones to fight for her!" Mo Pingyun patted his chest with a determined look on his face, causing everyone to laugh.

Laughter covered all the movements in the undercurrents. Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jingniang carried Little Nine, who was wearing the Dragon Marking Jade Pendant, off the stage. The old man and the others escorted Lee Heng to the banquet hall.

During the meal, Lee Heng told the old man a piece of good news: the empress was pregnant too!

The old man couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at the excited Lee Heng, the old man suppressed the waves in his heart and told him in a low voice to be extra careful.

Lee Heng looked at the old man in confusion. His mother had gotten better and was pregnant, so her relationship with father had also become harmonious. Everything was inconceivable. What should he be careful of?

However, there were some words that the Old Man couldn't say to Lee Heng. He could only warn him to be careful of everything and also sent a message to Mo Taiwu, telling him to pay extra attention to the imperial court and the imperial harem.
