Chapter 753 Another Day as a Tool Man (1, 1)
Xiao Yining, who had already walked far away, looked back as if she had sensed something, and her eyes fell on Li Mingzhu's palace. After staring for a moment, she turned around as if nothing had happened.
From the noise just now, it seems that this male protagonist dislikes Li Mingzhu. I wonder if her other son, the old baby, is also like this?
The little kid leaned on his grandmother's shoulder, praying in his heart that the evil woman would not whisper in his ears and affect her "glorious image" in his heart.
While the little boy was daydreaming, Li Mingzhu's every move was reported to the emperor sitting on the dragon throne through the palace servants.
The emperor did not raise his eyebrows, and continued to stare coldly at the officials who were arguing below.
Beside him, Pei Dafu was whispering in his ear: "Your Majesty, after the Queen Mother returned to the palace, she dismissed everyone due to illness. She was not happy with Princess Le'an and sent her to Concubine Nuan's palace."
Pei Dafu paused, raised his eyes slightly and quickly glanced at his master's expression, then lowered his eyes and reminded: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's palace gates are closed, I'm afraid she will not attend the palace banquet tonight!"
Hearing this, the emperor reacted, glanced at the person beside him, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you found Lian Shu's portrait?"
Pei Dafu bowed quickly and responded: "Your Majesty, the portrait has been placed on the dragon table."
Sheng Jingchen retracted his gaze and whispered, "Send the portrait to the Empress Dowager. She will show up tonight."
Pei Dafu agreed softly, took a step back, and then suddenly asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, would you like to take a look at this portrait?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the master's cold gaze shot over.
Pei Dafu: (wДw), it’s over, the master is angry!
(If he had known this earlier, he would have stopped talking. The master's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to guess!)
At this time, Sheng Hongtong, who was acting as a background, finally had a reason to retreat from the "vegetable market". He said to his father, "Father, Sister Qing was frightened and cried by the Royal Grandmother. I will go and comfort her!"
The emperor withdrew his gaze, glanced at Er'er with a stern expression, then stood up from the dragon throne and walked to the side hall without saying a word.
晟泓童：=?0?1?0?1?0?0?0?0(?6?7?4?0?6?7?6?4?0?1?0?3?0?3)，要完，父皇生气了！
(Lin Yining really screwed me over. I’m going to be punished again!)
The naughty kid stared in amazement at his father's back as he walked away without looking back, and hurriedly asked Pei Dafu for help.
The officials below also noticed the emperor's departure, and the disputes about state affairs came to an abrupt end. They all looked at each other in dumbfounded.
Liu Yang stood in the line of civil servants, calling himself the emperor's confidant. He glanced at his colleagues with disdain and said sarcastically, "Today is His Majesty's birthday, but you are arguing endlessly and making His Majesty unhappy. You really have no vision!"
Officials:...
Pei Dafu's slightly trembling voice could also be heard from above.
"If you have the documents, submit them. If you don't, leave the court..."
All the civil and military officials turned their eyes to the dragon throne and then to the naughty child who was still sitting on it. They couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, saluted with helplessness on their faces, and bowed their heads to leave the Golden Palace.
Pei Dafu also quickly took the little master's hand and went to coax the big master.
At this moment, Wang Ersheng's powerful voice suddenly rang out from the corner of the Golden Palace: "Wait, I have something else to say!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and stopped to look at the man who spoke.
Pei Dafu also looked at the tall man who walked slowly to the center of the hall in silence, "General Wang, if you have anything to say, please report to His Majesty tomorrow!"
However, Wang Ersheng crossed his arms and said nonchalantly: "That won't do. This is a big deal for me and I can't wait even a moment!"
Hearing this, the naughty child immediately acted like a prince and asked in a deep voice, imitating the old baby: "General Wang, what is the matter?"
Then, everyone heard him clear his throat and say, "Your Highness, my wife is still in the harem. Can you please call her and tell her that it's time to go home for breakfast?"
Sheng Hongtong: (?7?5_?7?5), can this also be reported?
Officials:...
The naughty kid refreshed his cognition again, and quickly responded "OK", without staying, and quickly left this place that made him doubt his future life.
(The forgotten person: Huh? Doesn’t she have to go home for dinner?)
Little Yining knew nothing about the fact that the old baby of the previous dynasty had abandoned all the civil and military officials.
After her grandmother was called away by the palace servants, she openly looked at the chest of "Concubine Nuan" which contained the mysterious equipment.
"Nuan Guifei" lazily leaned on the couch, glanced at her, and teased: "Little girl, what are you looking at? You will grow this thing in the future, so don't be jealous!"
Xiao Yining: →_→
The little girl pursed her lips and looked away, "Uncle, have you finished eating the steamed buns my mother made? My mother made green steamed buns again these days. My father said they were delicious. Next time you go to the palace, Sister Qing will bring you some."
“Nuan Guifei”: …
The fake woman straightened up, stretched out her finger and tapped the kid's forehead heavily, "You are such a heartless person, I am still helping you take care of your sisters."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yining perked up and immediately asked with concern, "Uncle, is Sister Lu doing well?"
"Noble Concubine Nuan" sneered: "She was already living a good life. I asked the maid to keep an eye on her these few days and found that someone in the palace was secretly helping her. No wonder I didn't ask you to take her out of the sea of suffering when I saw you last time."
When the little girl heard this, she fell into deep thought, secretly guessing that this group of people should be from the Xie family.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh like a little adult.
Once upon a time, she regretted the friendship between Lu Jiayi and Shangguan Ruyi, but before she was on the former's side, and now she is on the latter's side.
I wonder what Shangguan Ruyi would think if she knew that the ten taels of silver she had saved with great effort were not important at all to Lu Jiayi.
At this time, "Noble Concubine Nuan" added: "But your sister Lu is still a very brave person. She would secretly go to the cold palace in the middle of the night to visit the deposed queen."
Xiao Yining: -`д?0?7-, could it be that the Xie family is still counting on the stupid Prince Yuan?
The kid's brain cells were working rapidly, digesting the new melon.
The next moment, her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden pain on her forehead.
Xiao Yining raised her head and looked at the person who hit her accusingly.
The "Nuan Guifei" was full of joking, and she sighed to herself: "The Jianghu is still better, where people are straightforward and can kill whoever they want. It's not like now. I've been in the palace for a few months, and I've seen these people beat around the bush when killing someone, and they have countless thoughts even for a child."
"And your uncle who has bad intentions has to plan to get rid of anyone he wants. He has to take into account the counterattack of the forces behind them and also want to cut the grass and root it out."
When the little girl heard this, she immediately recalled what the "Nuan Guifei" had said to her before she left last time, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, the bad guy passed you a note last time, did you get anything?"
"Nuan Guifei" replied lazily: "Of course there is, that old man made me a Guifei."
Xiao Yining: ..., what kind of harvest is this?
Unexpectedly, "Nuan Guifei" added with a sly smile: "The one above is the queen. If that old man wants me to be the queen, I will take off my clothes in public and tell everyone that I am actually a man, so that he will lose face, hahaha..."
The little boy looked at the fake woman who was laughing wildly in silence, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: It's true that when people stay in the palace for a long time, they will become more or less abnormal, even men will be driven crazy!
However, before she could finish her inner complaints, the originally cheerful laughter of "Nuan Guifei" suddenly disappeared as if it was cut off by someone.
Then, she heard him mutter in a very depressed tone: "Tsk, this old man is really restless. He sent people over right after the court session!"
After saying this, "Nuan Guifei" picked up the baby and walked towards the door.
During this time, Xiao Yining also heard footsteps coming closer and closer outside. They were quite rapid and it was obvious that something was happening.
She felt inexplicably nervous: No way, Li Mingzhu would go to old baby to whisper this so soon?
She looked outside nervously, and after a moment, she saw the naughty child leading a dozen palace servants, running towards her breathlessly.
When Sheng Hongtong saw the little girl, he was as enthusiastic as if he had seen a savior. He quickly quickened his speed and ran to her, saying, "Qing Jie'er, my father is angry and doesn't want to see anyone. Come with me."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yining's heart was suddenly shocked. She asked with fantasy: "Uncle, why is Grandpa Uncle angry?"
Unexpectedly, the naughty kid glanced at her meaningfully, and then replied in a serious tone: "It's all because of Sister Qing!"
Xiao Yining: ﹌○﹌
It's over. My uncle really started to hate her, otherwise he wouldn't have gone looking for her before finishing his work!
Thinking of this, the little kid could no longer hold back his tears.
This sudden change made everyone stunned for a moment.
Sheng Hongtong reacted immediately and said in a guilty tone, "Qing Jie'er, why are you crying? My father won't punish you. Stop crying and follow me to see my father."
As soon as these words were spoken, the already earth-shaking crying became even louder, directly shaking the entire palace.
This scene was reported to the emperor by the palace officials without delay.
Sheng Jingchen's already bad mood became even worse at this moment. Faced with the breakfast that was served one after another, he immediately lost his appetite.
Pei Dafu observed his master's unhappy expression and suggested in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Princess Le'an must have woken up too early today and her family is not around, so she is acting like a child. How about sending Princess Le'an out of the palace first, and then letting Princess Jiahe bring her into the palace to celebrate the birthday in the afternoon."
However, this proposal was once again met with the emperor's cold response.
Pei Dafu: (▔﹏▔), Oops, this doesn’t suit the master’s temper!
Sheng Jingchen impatiently issued an order: "Xuan Wan...Lin Yuzan will go to the palace immediately to appease Princess Le'an."
Pei Dafu: -_-||, after all this going on, I’m afraid Princess Le’an has already returned to her usual cheerful self.
This old eunuch, who had served his master for many years, suffered several career setbacks this morning.
He lowered his eyes, repeatedly trying to figure out his master's thoughts, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, Lin Yuzan should be following Jiang Tingsong at this moment, preparing your birthday banquet. I'm afraid he will be covered in sweat, and Princess Le'an will not like it."
"Your Majesty, why don't you summon Princess Le'an to accompany you now? When she sees you, she will burst into laughter and be extremely happy."
When the emperor heard this, a slight fluctuation appeared on his originally stern face.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement with the proposal: "Forget it, let Sister Xuan Qing come over, you go find some toys that the child likes, don't let her find it boring to watch me review memorials and discuss matters with ministers."
Pei Dafu was delighted and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Princess Le'an is very well behaved. I will go find some books for you. When Your Majesty is free, Princess Le'an can also read to you."
Sheng Jingchen glanced at him non-threateningly, "You're so noisy, go now."
Pei Dafu instantly regained the high-spirited spirit of the first person beside the emperor, responded loudly, and retreated.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, he heard the emperor's order again, "Let that rebellious son come over and review the memorials with me."
So, on the first day of their official work, the two little kids each received their own tasks.
The sun is setting, dusk is falling, and the highlight of the day, the palace banquet, has officially arrived.
The palace lanterns lit up one after another, and the originally solemn palace welcomed a rare lively scene with drums and music playing and stringed instruments sounding.
The dancers' sleeves fluttered and their figures were graceful. Noble clan members, civil and military officials, and their families came in one after another, bringing gifts to wish the emperor a happy birthday.
There were rare laughter and joy as the wine was flowing. Even the emperor, who usually had a solemn expression, was more peaceful than before.
But if you look closely, you will find that many people at the banquet are forcing themselves to smile.
Little Yining sat below the naughty kid. This time she was no longer sandwiched between two bosses who fed her one after another. But in order to maintain her personality, the old baby asked her father to feed her as a ceremonial officer.
As for why it wasn't Zhao Ya or her mother, she asked out of curiosity, and got a reasonable answer from the old baby, which roughly meant that her father was the only one who didn't have to eat at the banquet and was superfluous, so he had time!
Little Yining swallowed a mouthful of food without any regret, and then looked at his expressionless father and said in a very filial manner, "Dad, please have a bite too. This is delicious!"
Lin Yuzan swallowed his saliva and replied in a very depressed voice: "Qingjie, finish eating and then tell Dad how it tastes!"
The kid then said something nonsense: "Dad, it's salty!"
Lin Yuzan: ..., he knows.
After the father and daughter had a quiet conversation, they sighed "being taken advantage of" in a tacit understanding.
During the day, little Yining misunderstood his position in Thick Thigh's heart because of the naughty boy's words. He was brought to Thick Thigh, accompanied him to eat two healthy meals, and studied hard to coax Thick Thigh to sleep, without being lazy at all.
Lin Yuzan, however, followed Jiang Tingsong against his will and became one of the eunuchs doing menial tasks. He was responsible for replacing all the inappropriate tasks and was required to do all the hard work, which exhausted him for the entire day.
The father and daughter have each gone through their own hardships and are already physically and mentally exhausted today.
The two scapegoats filtered through their minds the suffering they had endured today, and then, as if agreed, they secretly cast reproachful glances at their respective culprits.
