Chapter 138 The Melon-eating Army Sets Off

How could Xie Yuanqian possibly apologize to Xie Yuanshuang?

As the atmosphere became tense, a palace attendant hurried over and said, "The Emperor has ordered that the palace banquet be postponed for half an hour. The nobles may walk freely around the area."

???

Tang Bao's eyes lit up.

() Could it be that the ladies are taking action?

Oh hoo! Looking forward to it!!

The joy only lasted for a moment, and the smile on the little guy's face froze.

During the day, Tang Bao asked his father, "Why doesn't Sen come to the palace to see Tang Bao? Even at night is fine."

Daddy, outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave the harem at will!

The cold palace is also a palace. What if the guards stop these people?

Oh... Why did Tang Bao only find out today that he couldn't just go to the cold palace?

No matter how powerful the ladies were, could they be stronger than the palace rules? Could they be more powerful than those sword-wielding guards?

Would it be the same to expose Concubine Xiao's ugly face in front of ten people or in front of a thousand people?

Miscalculated! Miscalculated!

Little Tangbao clenched his fists and stomped his feet. His angry look made everyone laugh.

No one thought much about it, they just thought that the little princess was angry that her banquet was postponed by the emperor.

But why did it suddenly get pushed back?

Everyone was confused.

At this moment, they still don't know that the emperor ordered Eunuch Shen to chase Jiang Zhong, originally hoping to win back his only remaining friend...

I never thought that Shen Ying would see the fatal thing...

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's feelings, today's palace banquet would have been cancelled!

Seeing that Princess Zhaoning was in a daze, Xie Yuanqian quickly took the opportunity to slip away.

Without the annoying people, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became better.

Everyone wanted to hug little Tangbao secretly, but seeing Eunuch Pei standing nearby, they didn't dare to do so, so they all bowed and stepped aside.

Then they gathered together in groups of three or four and continued to laugh and play. Those who were tired of sitting went to the yard to exercise and get some fresh air.

Xie Yuanshuang didn't want the Xie family to think that Tang Bao was close to her, and was worried that they would use her to get close to Naituanzi, so she suddenly took two steps back.

But she couldn't help but walk towards her biological mother: "Madam, do you hate me so much? Not only do you not want to say a word to me, you don't even want to look at me?"

Her expression was cold, but admiration could be vaguely seen in her eyes.

When the wife of Marquis Yongping saw her eyes, her heart ached. She suddenly lowered her eyes, took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, and put it on the hand of her daughter who had already been severed from her relationship.

"It's all your fault for not living up to your expectations. You gave up your children, lost your position as the prince's consort, and squandered all the dowry that the Marquis' Mansion gave you..."

"Child, please don't hate me. A woman's husband is her God. I have no choice!"

Xie Yuanshuang's face suddenly fell.

It was like this in the past, and it is like this now.

She had received small favors, warmth and care, but whenever she needed support the most, her mother would never stand by her side.

Xie Yuanshuang didn't know whether she should hate her or understand her?

Not far away, Mrs. Xie, who had seen everything, saw the new bracelet on Xie Yuanshuang's wrist, and her face instantly darkened.

Is it so easy to get into the Prince's Mansion? Back then, in order to give her a grand wedding, the entire Yongping Marquis Mansion was emptied out!

As a result, this damn girl was so unruly that she was divorced midway. When asked about her dowry, she actually said that it was gone. If they asked again, they would ask the Fifth Prince instead...

What's the point of attaching anything to a white-eyed wolf who doesn't know what's good for her and is of no use to the family?

No, I can’t let that bracelet go to waste!

Old Madam Xie felt sorry for the bracelet and didn't need anyone to help her walk. She took a few steps and came to little Tangbao, looking at the little boy with a loving face.

Xiao Tangbao, who was originally clasping his hands in worry, suddenly had an idea when he saw the old lady in front of him, with black air coming out of her brows and a smile uglier than crying.

She raised her little face and shouted at her at the top of her voice: "Old lady, what are you talking about? Where do you want Tang Bao to take you?"

Mrs. Xie was confused before she could say anything.

Xiao Tangbao looked around hurriedly and found that all the tables were low. She pulled Pei An over and climbed onto his shoulders with a few grunts, sitting on his neck.

Pei An was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his hands tightly gripping her ankles.

Gritting his teeth and not opening his mouth, he started to grumble again...

"My little ancestor~"

"Let's not talk about how disrespectful this is. If you had just said a word, I would have squatted down!" His new clothes were wasted!

"By the way, has His Royal Highness Prince Qing ever hunched you over like this?" That guy loves to compare himself with others, so don't bother him again in the future!

"Or should the Princess Palace still be..."

Bang!

The little girl put her two little hands on Pei An's face and covered his mouth tightly.

She stared at Old Madam Xie with her big round eyes and shouted condescendingly:

"Old Madam, you're worried about your granddaughter. She's going to get into trouble in the palace sooner or later. Do you want to go to the cold palace to take a look?"

"It's not impossible, since I have the token... I'll begrudgingly show you around!"

Madam Xie was confused...

Why didn't she open her mouth the whole time? And why was she yelling so loudly? She's not hard of hearing!

The cold palace is a gloomy and ominous place. Why would she go there for no reason?

She's not going!

"But——" Xiao Tangbao started shouting again.

"I'm only sending Madam Xie a few things. I'm afraid others will misunderstand and think we're close. That won't work... After all, Tang Bao doesn't like you!"

???

Old Madam Xie was stunned, looking up at the crazy little girl in front of her without blinking...

How does this child speak?

How can you just say whether you like it or not?

Old Mrs. Xie was so angry that her face turned pale and blue, and she couldn't get a word in!

Laughter broke out.

Mrs. Xie turned around suddenly and saw that everyone was laughing at her.

They said all sorts of things blatantly, and their words were as unpleasant as they could be!

It's so infuriating!

She is so angry!!

"Princess???" Xie Yuanshuang called out in a low voice with a worried look on her face.

She didn't feel sorry for the old lady, she was worried that Tang Bao would make Old Madam Xie angry to death and get into trouble again!

The little guy turned his head to look at Xie Yuanshuang, and made a "I'll help my aunt vent her anger" shape at her, then rubbed his two little hands hard on Pei An, and put them to his mouth like a trumpet...

"Uncles, aunts, grandparents—"

"At the request of the old lady of the Xie family, Tang Bao is now taking everyone to visit the cold palace—"

As she spoke, she held up the token and showed it to the audience...

"The law does not punish everyone. Today, everyone must go to the cold palace for a tour—"

"If anyone has any dissatisfaction and comes to the Yongping Marquis Mansion, Madam Xie will settle the account—"

The blame fell on Mrs. Xie unexpectedly. The old lady, who was nearly 70 years old, was completely blinded and almost died on the spot.

Xiao Tangbao doesn't bother to care about her.

She patted Pei An's hat and motioned him to go forward.

Pei An did not move.

What a joke! He even wanted to live a few more years and become the head of the Imperial Stables!

"If you don't elbow me, I'll blow the whistle and ask Mimi to come over and elbow me."

“?!!” Pei An was startled... Did the little princess hide the white tiger near the palace again?

Oh……

It turns out that people can really laugh when they are speechless!

I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well do the princess a favor.

Pei An gritted his teeth and strode out.

Xiao Tangbao was still shaking the pass in her hand vigorously...

"Line up—"

"Follow closely——"

"Otherwise, I, Tang Bao, will have my father raid your mansion—"

The group of people who really wanted to go but were afraid to go, immediately straightened their backs when they heard the words... They didn't want to go in the first place, they were all forced by Princess Zhaoning!

Everyone put on a fearless expression, lined up in several teams, and followed Xiao Tangbao to the harem with their heads held high.

???

Seeing the huge group of people marching in an orderly and aggressive manner towards the harem, the commander of the imperial guards, Jiang Yanwu, was so frightened that his face changed drastically: "Stop! Stop everyone!!"

Civil officials, military commanders, ladies, young ladies... What are they trying to do? If the leader wasn't a girl, he would have thought these people were trying to force the emperor to abdicate!

Jiang Yanwu drew his sword and immediately ordered his men to stop.

The guards drew their swords, but all of them sprained their ankles.

Seeing that the imperial guards were useless, the internal security department immediately dispatched troops, but the moment they pulled the bow, the bowstring broke?

Many people started to experience abdominal pain and rumbling sounds in their stomachs...

This was calculated...

"withdraw!"

Soon, people with keen senses noticed that the surroundings seemed to be getting quieter...

After no one came to stop them, people started to move around in the crowd and whisper to each other.

Soon, the rhythmic footsteps disappeared in an instant.

Everyone huddled their necks and moved quietly. If you didn't know, you would think that bandits were coming down the mountain in the middle of the night and were afraid of disturbing anyone!

At this moment, they didn't know that the emperor had already been sent to the cold palace and was hiding on a roof... Otherwise, they would not have gone there no matter what!

Passing by the Imperial Hospital, Xiao Tangbao saw Mrs. Jiang standing at the door at a glance.

Looking at the ghost midwife still pestering her, Tang Bao waved at her in a baby voice, "Hello, Madam Jiang!"

"?" Mrs. Jiang, who was in a state of dismay, raised her head stiffly and greeted Xiao Tangbao respectfully.

"Is Madam Jiang okay? Is there anything Tang Bao can help you with?"

Madam Jiang adjusted the bandage on her forehead and shook her head in pain: "I was just confused for a moment and couldn't find the way out of the palace."

Xiao Tangbao raised her eyebrows slightly... Was she looking for a way out of the palace? Instead of looking for her husband?

Tang Bao thought she was lying, but he didn't say anything. However, he could take her to find Jiang Zhong.

"Then Madam Jiang, please go with your family. Tang Bao just needs to talk to you about something."

"good……"

Perhaps because she was preoccupied with something, Mrs. Jiang remained silent throughout the journey and was frequently distracted, agreeing to whatever Xiao Tangbao said.

Seeing that she was about to be sent to the cold palace, the little girl suddenly stretched out her little hand towards her: "Since Madam Jiang has agreed to buy the evil-avoiding talisman for me, give me the silver?"

"Ah?" Mrs. Jiang turned her head blankly, completely unable to remember what the little princess had said to her.

Looking at little Tangbao's clear gray eyes, she seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. She gave all the valuable things on her body to Tangbao and took the talisman and kept it away.

Little Tangbao accepted the thank-you gift happily, and felt so proud when he saw the ghost midwife baring her teeth at him because she couldn't get close to Mrs. Jiang.

Evil spirits, retreat, retreat, and may your merits be increased!
