Chapter 401 Eye Drops

Their eyes met.

Emperor Xuan looked at Miaomiao.

Miaomiao also looked at him.

The emperor is old and his eyesight is not very good, so he wants to see more clearly.

Suddenly waved to Miaomiao, "Come here."

Miaomiao, who was standing among the cats, was stunned.

Is this calling her?

He turned around to look at the princess, and when he saw her nod, he walked over.

Princess Yuqing felt a little guilty, her hands were clenched tightly in her sleeves, and her palms were full of sweat.

I was afraid that my father would notice that Miaomiao looked like Cui Yan.

Although Cui Yan is no longer someone that my father can easily touch.

When it comes to important state affairs, my father relies heavily on him.

And she has erased all traces of Miaomiao's life experience.

But the person he is facing is his father, the emperor who can decide life and death in an instant.

She was still very nervous.

Miaomiao held Ruixue in her arms and walked up to the emperor.

Sitting on the couch, an old man in bright yellow clothes was staring at her.

In fact, I had been staring at her since I entered the door.

It made her scalp tingle.

There is a deep sense of oppression.

As I got closer, I could see more clearly.

The old man had gray hair on his temples, was thin, and didn't look very good. His face looked a little blue.

I guess it was caused by eating those random pills.

In ancient times, there were many emperors who wanted to become immortals, and many of them became obsessed with alchemy and cultivating immortality when they got older.

In the end, he didn't become an immortal, but ascended to heaven early.

If I hadn’t taken those little red pills, I might have lived a few more years.

However, the emperor in front of him unexpectedly looked very kind and benevolent.

Some people find it hard to believe that this person is actually the current emperor.

Her maternal grandfather.

seem……

He was not the same as the cold old man described by the Queen's grandmother.

Otherwise, he's just pretending.

She knelt down and bowed to the emperor according to the etiquette taught by Nanny Feng.

After she stood up, she was pulled to the emperor's side. He continued to stare at her, examining her face carefully.

He also lifted up her thick bangs.

Then I smiled and asked her, "Do you like cats very much?"

"I like it. Does the emperor like it too? Aren't cats cute?" Miaomiao nodded like a kitten pecking at rice.

The first step to curry favor with someone is to please him.

Half of the reason why the emperor doted on Lady Zhen was probably because of these cats.

At this age, I am still alone and actually need company.

Seeing that the emperor was still staring at her, Miaomiao felt a little guilty, "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

"You look very much like my daughter." The emperor said gently, glancing at Princess Yuqing.

Miaomiao also looked at the princess mother and said seriously: "People have similarities and things have similarities. There are so many people in the world, and many of them look alike. The princess and I are the most similar, which means we are destined to be together. Maybe we were destined to be mother and daughter in the previous life, so the princess adopted me as her adopted daughter."

The little girl is not only good-looking, but also very talkative. Yuqing was not as talkative as her when she was young.

Pretty clever.

The emperor smiled and turned to ask, "How do your parents treat you?"

"Mom is the best mother in the world. As for daddy... I don't have a daddy." When Jiang Miaomiao said this, she called Cui Yan "Daddy" several times in her heart.

no way.

She rarely sees the emperor.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, we must seize the opportunity to persuade Jiang Yunze.

"How could there not be one? Isn't Jiang Yunze your father?" The emperor looked at the little girl with a proud face. Now he saw that she looked very much like Yuqing.

"Mother was driven away by that man, and she took my three siblings and me to live in Jiangzhou. When we were starving, Mother went up the mountain to hunt and worked in the fields to feed us, while that man was surrounded by beautiful wives and relatives, enjoying fine clothes and delicious food in the capital. He also allowed his concubines to collude with kidnappers to abduct my brother and me, causing us to almost not see Mother again. We almost died on the way back to the capital. He is not worthy of being a father. He gave birth to a child but didn't raise him, so he is even less worthy of being a father." Miaomiao said righteously.

His little face turned red with anger and his hands were clenched into fists.

It's both cute and heartbreaking.

Princess Yuqing's eyes were red.

Seeing that my daughter was always laughing and making noise, I thought she didn't know.

I didn't expect that she knew everything, just to prevent her from blaming herself.

The emperor looked guilty.

The most fundamental reason is that the Lu family was held accountable.

That girl actually used her own dowry to fill the hole. Her courage is really commendable.

Emperor Xuan began to look at her with some admiration.

Comparing it this way, I feel that Jiang Yunze is not a very good person.

"Has Jiang Yunze never helped you or given you any money?"

Miaomiao shook her head with certainty, "I haven't given you a single penny."

The Emperor's dislike for Minister Jiang intensified, and he summoned the chief eunuch, Eunuch Qian, and ordered him to "fine Jiang Yunze for three years' salary, and give the confiscated salary to the three Jiang siblings."

After saying that, he looked at Miaomiao and asked, "Are you satisfied with this?"

Miaomiao nodded.

In fact, she was not satisfied at all. It was Jiang Yunze's three-year salary.

It’s only about two or three thousand taels.

It’s not even enough to pay a fraction of my eldest brother’s betrothal gift.

But it's good to piss him off.

Eunuch Qian responded and left, taking one more look at Jiang Miaomiao before leaving.

When the emperor first started taking the elixir, he was still in good spirits, but now he is gradually feeling worse.

He's already in poor health, but he refuses to listen to advice and continues to ruin himself.

As servants, they dared not say anything more.

Eunuch Qian is the emperor's confidant, although he is about the same age as the emperor.

But in fact, he is much healthier than the emperor.

Although he pretended to be older than the emperor.

He was confident that he could live longer than the emperor.

So he has been waiting and watching these days.

Choose a prince?

Even the imperial physician shook his head when he saw the prince's health, wondering if he could live longer than the emperor. The crown prince was not even three years old.

I don’t know if I can grow up.

King Jing is the most suitable candidate, but he is not interested in state affairs and only cares about his wife.

I don’t know if I can defeat King Chen.

The main reason is that there is a beautiful lady beside the emperor, who can whisper in his ear.

The emperor began to get confused.

Prince Chen would come to the palace to flatter the emperor whenever he had nothing to do, making the emperor smile from ear to ear.

The prince who was once despised suddenly became a hot commodity again.

There is also the eighth prince who is eyeing us covetously.

The remaining few little princes also began to wait and see. What kind of person the future monarch would be was related to everyone's life and property.

He was hesitating, wavering between the princes, undecided.

But today I saw this little girl.

He suddenly had a different idea.

He had heard of the kid.

This child is the granddaughter of General Lu. The Lu family and the Mu family are old friends, and the Mu family is married to King Jing.

Now this child has become Princess Yuqing's adopted daughter.

I used to think this was intentional.

But when he saw the child at this moment, his heart trembled.

These eyebrows...

Isn’t she Princess Yuqing when she was a child?

But when the little girl spoke just now, there was the shadow of another person on her.

This person is definitely not the late Prince Consort Cao.
