Chapter 428 Nuan Fei ∑ (￣□￣;)
The farce in front of the imperial palace ended abruptly with the successful rescue of Liu Yang.
The emperor watched the chaos in silence, feeling an inexplicable sense of exhaustion in his heart, and even the air pressure in his body dropped. He waved his hand impatiently, and finally gave the officials a cold "get out".
The officials did not dare to hesitate at all. They hurriedly tucked their tails between their legs, surrounded the weak Liu Yang, and left the imperial palace in disgrace.
Xiao Yining was still looking at the backs of everyone leaving, and couldn't help feeling emotional. After today, she was afraid that everyone would think that Liu Yang's love for the emperor was so deep that she would faint from joy of seeing him again.
I wonder what expressions others would have if they knew that he almost fainted from choking on the filial piety cakes given by his daughter.
Just as the little girl's thoughts were in a mess, the emperor's majestic voice sounded in her ears again.
"Ah Zhan, why are you still in the palace?"
Male protagonist?
Xiao Yining's heart suddenly shuddered, and she quickly looked around. Although she had just heard that the hero had also come here, she still didn't notice him when she came over.
At this time, the male protagonist appeared out of nowhere and started to act out the brotherly love drama in front of the little kid.
He stood before the emperor and replied respectfully, "My royal brother asked me to distribute relief grain, but I am concerned about you, so I have not yet gone to Yanzhou."
The emperor glanced at him meaningfully and said, "I didn't expect that Ah Zhan is still as ignorant of priorities as before. I thought you had grown up and understood the world."
When Sheng Jingzhan heard this, he just responded with deep affection: "In my heart, my brother's dragon body is the most important thing."
The emperor looked at the man in front of him, as if he believed his words without a doubt, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips, "My royal brother is fine, the people of Yanzhou can't wait, Ah Zhan, please leave as soon as possible. If there is anything you don't understand, let Xie Aiqing teach you. He is your father-in-law, and he will definitely not hide anything."
As soon as these words fell, Xiao Yining saw a hint of ruthlessness flash across the depths of the male protagonist's humble eyes. Then he respectfully took the order and left. Before leaving, he glanced at her and met her curious and confused eyes.
The little girl's eyes followed his departing figure until he disappeared, and then she slowly withdrew her eyes. However, the next moment, she was met with the emperor's deep eyes again.
She hurriedly explained awkwardly, "Uncle, I don't know why, but I can't remember my second uncle's face every time."
This is the truth. She didn't know how many times she had automatically ignored the male protagonist. In her eyes, his presence was too low. It was as if in her eyes, the male protagonist was just an insignificant passerby, and the male protagonist's halo did not exist at all.
Thinking like this, the little kid asked again foolishly: "Uncle, how come you can see Second Uncle at a glance, but Sister Qing can't see him?"
Sheng Jingchen was amused by the child's childish words, but a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes, and he said something ambiguous: "Perhaps in Sister Qing's eyes, King Yu should not exist in this world."
Xiao Yining: That makes a lot of sense!
The little girl could not help but look at the emperor with admiration. At the same time, she couldn't help but think of the emperor's special hobby. Her body suddenly shuddered, and even her eyes revealed some fear of this horrible old baby.
Xiao Yining's changes were too obvious to be hidden.
Sheng Jingchen noticed the resistance of the little baby in his arms, his brows slightly wrinkled and then relaxed, and he looked at her with interest, "Qing Jie'er, are you afraid of your uncle?"
Xiao Yining: ...
The little girl immediately smiled obediently, blinked her big sincere eyes, and said in a coquettish voice, "Uncle Grandpa, Qingjie misses you so much. One day without seeing you feels like three years!"
The emperor, with a clear mind, hummed lightly, as if smiling, and walked towards the palace with her in his arms. When he passed by Er'er, he saw him still kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
A hint of disdain flashed across his eyes, and he ordered expressionlessly: "Xiao Shunzi, take the Second Prince down to wash up. It's not decent to be in such a state."
Sheng Hongtong: ...
The naughty child looked up in disbelief, looking at the emperor's back, and said unwillingly: "Father, Lin Yining is obviously dirtier than me."
The emperor turned sideways and glanced at Er'er, and said in a cold tone, "Azhu, as a prince, you are unable to shoulder the responsibility, and as an elder, you are also not satisfactory. I am very disappointed."
When Sheng Hongtong heard his father's words, his heart trembled, and the fake tears turned into hot real tears that burst out in an instant. He violently pushed away the hand that Xiao Shunzi extended to him, and stood up with all his strength. He left everyone without looking back and left in grief and anger.
The emperor stared at the back of the second prince who suddenly left, without a ripple in his eyes. Finally, he slowly said, "Keep an eye on the second prince, and don't let him do anything that will damage the reputation of the royal family."
Xiao Shunzi quickly responded and followed the young master.
Little Yining leaned on the emperor's shoulder, unable to help but feel sympathetic towards the naughty child. She pursed her lips and spoke for him, "Uncle, I've missed you these days, just like Sister Qing has missed you as much as I have."
Sheng Jingchen's eyebrows unconsciously raised when he heard this, and a playful smile appeared on his majestic face. "Oh? Sister Qing, have you thought about your uncle these days?"
Xiao Yining: She really hasn’t thought about it...but who is she? She is very good at coaxing old men.
The little kid immediately put his mouth, which had just kissed the earth, on the emperor's cheek with lightning speed, leaving a dirty mark, and replied in a baby voice, "I think so."
Sheng Jingchen's steps paused slightly because of the little kid's movements, and his calm face became unnatural. Then, the little kid who was so close to him fell to the ground.
Little Yining tried to coax the old man into giving her a good performance, but suffered another defeat. She looked up at the emperor with some hurt eyes and said softly, "Uncle, Sister Qing is not dirty."
The emperor looked down at her, his eyes intertwined with complex and indescribable emotions. After a moment, he gently took the little girl's hand and said lovingly, "Qing Jie'er, your uncle is busy today and has to deal with government affairs. Your uncle asked Concubine Nuan to play with you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yining nodded depressedly, but the next moment, her body stiffened, and she looked up at the emperor in disbelief, with turbulent waves in her heart, and even her face turned pale.
Oh my god, not only does my uncle have his own quirks, he even wants to train her up and let corpses play with her.
No!
She simply can't do it!
The emperor took in the little girl's expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He gently touched her little head and said, "Don't be afraid. Grandpa is not a man-eating monster."
Little Yining stood there blankly, her whole body filled with a strong sense of resistance. If her little hand had not been held, she would have run away long ago.
At this moment, a familiar soft voice came into her ears.
"Your Majesty, A-Nuan has put on her clothes. Can she come out now?"
The little girl looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a bellyband and a transparent gauze, standing in the imperial palace. She had the same face she had seen before.
Xiao Yining couldn't help but widen his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.
This person is actually alive... Nuan Fei?
