Chapter 425 The Second Breakup
Chapter 425 The Second Breakup
Little Yining looked at the confident expressions on the faces of the little sisters, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness as if everyone else was drunk but he was the only one sober.
For this reason, the little kid sighed like a little adult.
At this moment, Liu Zhenying took out the purse she had prepared long ago and secretly put it into the kid's cloth bag.
She glanced around vigilantly, and then whispered, "Sister Yining, I'm sorry to bother you. My father is old and can't starve."
Little Yining felt the weight of the cloth bag and twitched the corners of his mouth to show that he understood.
Now she has to perform the door-opening drama every day and also has to serve as the "Are you hungry?" meal delivery service. Her target is Liu Zhenying's powerful father, the first person to kneel down - Liu Yang.
In fact, Pei Dafu thoughtfully prepared kneeling meals for these officials every day, but when they were hungry and wanted to eat a bite, they would be spitted at by this great man.
Because of this, up to now, the only person who has been able to successfully enjoy three meals a day is Duke Chen, while others can only faint from hunger and then make a glorious exit to fill their rumbling stomachs.
And Liu Yang, the man who barely managed to survive by cheating, has added a new achievement. He went without food or water for three whole days, yet he was still full of energy and was still talking nonsense. It was simply terrifying.
The small group of spectators who knew the secret helped Liu Zhenying keep it a secret to fulfill her filial piety.
Xiao Yining and the melon-eating team successfully smuggled across the border and were ready to return to their positions.
Just at this moment, the second prince Sheng Hongtong finally came to Yihe Palace with an angry face.
He looked at the kid who was slowly walking towards his position and felt that he was an eyesore. He scolded him, "Lin Yining, go back to your mother. There is no teacher to teach you these days. What are you doing here every day?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yining immediately acted like a dramatic character. She turned her eyes to the side and glanced at him with pitiful eyes, "Uncle, when I come over to look at you, I can remember what my uncle looks like. I haven't seen my uncle for several days. I miss... him."
Sheng Hongtong: ...
As soon as these words were spoken, the Yihe Hall fell silent. Ever since the emperor had not appeared in public, the Second Prince had been like a firecracker, easily ignited. In the past few days, he would punish others as long as he found a reason. No one dared to mention this matter in front of him.
Lin Yinhu poked his head out from behind the Second Prince, "Sister Qing, the Second Prince also misses the Emperor, and just now he went to call the Emperor to get up, but the Emperor was tired and didn't get up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Hongtong glared at him fiercely, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, "Brother Hu, you are not allowed to sit next to me today."
Lin Yinhu quickly nodded in agreement, and replied with a simple smile: "I know that the Second Prince loves Sister Qing and wants her to sit next to you."
After saying that, Lin Yinhu sat down in the little boy's seat.
Sheng Hongtong: ...
Xiao Yining: ...
Pei Yi, who was preparing the big words for the little kid today:...
The young man glanced at him helplessly, and had to hand the big word to Wang Gungun who was watching the show on the side. "Gungun, don't sleep today. Practice this word 100 times."
Wang Gungun: ...
Xiao Yining was so delighted when he saw this that he even forgot about the frustration of being replaced.
She glanced at the silent kid and sat down next to him naturally.
Sheng Hongtong looked at the cheerful little kid, but finally couldn't bear to chase him away. He just pursed his lips unhappily and walked towards his own seat.
Just when everyone in Yihe Hall thought that this episode was over, Lu Jiayi, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up, bowed to the Second Prince, and said, "Second Prince, I have thought of a way, maybe I can ask the Emperor to come out."
Sheng Hongtong paused, frowned and glared at her, saying disdainfully, "All the officials can't get my father to open the door, how can you ask my father to open the door? So, what's the solution?"
Lu Jiayi nodded slightly, her eyes full of determination, "Second Prince, I think that His Majesty always loves the younger generation, so why don't we all kneel at the gate of the Imperial Palace for a while? His Majesty will definitely love us and open the palace gate when he sees us."
As soon as these words fell, Liu Zhenying stood up and retorted, "Sister Lu, what a stupid idea you have. You want us to all kneel down. If His Majesty opens the door when he sees us, it's fine. But what if His Majesty happens to be resting at that time and doesn't see us? Aren't you making His Majesty cursed by the world?"
Facing Liu Zhenying's accusation, Lu Jiayi did not panic at all, and said calmly, "Your Majesty has also used the method I mentioned. Back then, the late emperor ignored state affairs for a whole month. It was the then crown prince who led the other princes to kneel and beg for a day and a night before the late emperor came out."
"But your Majesty has few children now. If the Second Prince takes us with him, the effect will be the same."
At this point, she paused for a moment, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Of course, whether this matter will succeed or not depends entirely on the Second Prince and His Majesty, and has nothing to do with Sister Liu. Sister Liu is weak, so she doesn't have to work so hard."
Liu Zhenying's face turned red with anger and her chest heaved violently.
She pointed at Lu Jiayi, her lips trembling as she tried to say something, but in the end she could only squeeze out one word from between her teeth: "You..."
Chen Jiaoyi quickly reached out and gently pulled the corner of Liu Zhenying's clothes, and said in support, "Sister Lu, Yingzi's health is not good, but she can still distinguish the priorities in the face of national justice. You don't have to provoke her."
After a few words, Sheng Hongtong was already moved. He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, waiting for his decision. Just as he was about to speak, someone spoke first.
Little Yining pouted and stood up. "Uncle, I've seen you through. It's time to go back and accompany mother."
Pei Yi also stood up at this moment, took the little boy's hand, and said, "Miss Lu's method is very good. The second prince should follow the steps of his ancestors and invite the emperor. Anyway, there is no master in the Yihe Palace now, so there is no time to delay."
With that, the two of them walked out.
Lu Jiayi looked at the two of them and said in disbelief, "Uncle Pei, Sister Yining, aren't you two going?"
Xiao Yining shook her head and stood firmly on Liu Zhenying's side. "Sister Lu, I don't want my uncle to be scolded by everyone in the world."
"Miss Lu, the emperor is just tired and needs to rest for a few days. It is understandable that the ministers have asked us to come for the sake of the country. If we go again, we will surely provoke his wrath. If you want to go, go ahead!" Pei Yi also looked back at Lu Jiayi with a cold face, and without stopping, he walked out with the kid.
"Boss, wait for me." Seeing that the two men had run away, Wang Gungun immediately dropped the big word and followed them with a happy face.
Three people ran away at once, leaving Lu Jiayi at a loss. She hurriedly called out, "Second Prince..."
Sheng Hongtong glanced at her, and the excitement in his heart had long disappeared, replaced by constant irritation.
He shouted impatiently, "All of you leave. You come here every day without a teacher to teach you, forcing this prince to suffer with you. Get out..."
After saying this, he also left quickly.
The color on Lu Jiayi's face suddenly faded. Seeing that everyone did not stay and walked out of the Yihe Hall one after another, she couldn't help but well up tears in her eyes.
She wiped her eyes and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Lu Jiayi." Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, a low and angry call suddenly came to her ears.
She looked up when she heard the voice, but the next moment, a loud slap fell mercilessly on her face.
