Chapter 660: OK, I understand

Tan Tao seemed to have found a new target. "Xuan Yue, you're not the emperor yet, so why haven't you been attending classes these days? Do you still remember the rules of our Tianya Academy?"

Erbao deftly shot the spit from Tan Tao.

"Master Dean, I will go there tomorrow. The main reason is that living in the palace is too far from our academy and it's not very convenient."

Tan Tao immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, it's just too far. Otherwise, I would also like to come to the palace every day to give lectures to our new emperor. This is really too far. I can't take care of both. The thousands of students in the academy cannot do without my guidance!"

Dabao sat on the dragon throne, looking at the two of them with cold eyes.

Tan Tao felt that he could not bear the creepy gaze of the little emperor, so he quickly pushed the new scapegoat forward.

"Your Majesty, you brothers can talk. I have important matters to attend to at the academy, so I'll take my leave now. I will keep my promise. If I'm in the capital, I will come to give you a lecture within a month. If that doesn't work out, I can recommend other learned scholars to come and try out as tutors. I won't bother you today."

Seeing that Dabao had no objection, he immediately bowed and swiftly left the imperial study.

Dabao looked at Erbao, "What's the matter? I haven't been home these past few days. I hope nothing has happened to you!"

Erbao spoke out his thoughts, "Brother, I'm going to live back in Prince Xiang's mansion. It's closer to school. I can't possibly not go to school. My classmates at Tianya Academy haven't seen me in so long, they must miss me. I'll go back and live alone, and you don't have to worry. Now that Baihua Tower has been destroyed, no one will harm me. It's very safe. I'll take the little fat boy back with me. He lives in the palace, and he's worried about being made a eunuch all the time..."

Dabao was amused.

"Is it okay to go back and live alone? Or do both parents have to go back?"

Erbao said hurriedly, "Mom and Dad won't go back. They're helping you in the palace. I can go back alone...Sister won't go back either. Sister is always following Mom around!"

The two brothers were talking when a eunuch knocked on the door. "Your Majesty, an urgent memorial has arrived from Daliangzhou."

Dabaoxuan, passed down.

The eunuch handed in an urgent memorial.

Behind him followed the envoy from Daliangzhou.

Dabao opened the memorial and his face turned cold...

Erbao was next to him. He curiously leaned over to take a look. Wow, there were so many words he didn't recognize. He couldn't understand them at all when he looked at them for the first time.

His brother is really awesome, you’ll understand after watching it once.

"What's going on? Is this a water monster?"

A few days ago, when he was handling things in the imperial study, he was accompanied by Liao Jiu and Zhou Gong. In the past two days, he has gradually been able to handle things on his own.

Anyone who came into contact with him dared not underestimate the new emperor.

The envoy from Daliangzhou was meeting the new emperor for the first time. "Your Majesty, it's a water monster! Many fishermen have died in Datang Cave. They say the cave is cursed, and a giant fish monster has appeared, making it impossible for people to survive. The local government has sent people to hunt the water monster, but none of them have returned. It's extremely dangerous. We have no other choice but to report this to the court and implore Your Majesty to act on behalf of the people!"

Dabao said coldly, "Alright, I understand. No water monster can commit any crime in Da'an! I will send people to investigate and resolve it!"

With great force.

The envoy from Daliangzhou prostrated himself on the ground to express his gratitude.

***

Jiang Lianzhu made the soup and went to look for Erbao, but couldn't find him. He said he went to the imperial study. She hadn't seen Dabao for several days, so she brought Nanbao to deliver the soup.

Then I heard the sound inside.

She pushed the door open and walked in. "What kind of water monster? Has anyone seen its shape or size?"

When the envoy from Daliangzhou saw Jiang Lianzhu, he roughly guessed her and knew her identity.

The only person who can come in without bowing to the new emperor and can even interrupt directly is probably Princess Fu'an, the new emperor's adoptive mother.

He quickly replied, "In reply to the princess, no one has ever seen it. We only know it's very big. In the center of the lake in Da Ting Cave is a deep pool of about ten acres. Usually, fishermen don't go fishing there because it's too deep and there are too many aquatic plants. If people or boats fall in, they can't float up."

Erbao whispered to Jiang Lianzhu, "Mom, take my sister with you to fight the water monster. She can control the water..."

Jiang Lianzhu signaled him not to say too much, fearing that others might hear it.

This is a special ability that ordinary people cannot understand, and they would think that her children are all monsters.

Erbao understood and didn't say much.

Jiang Lianzhu spoke a few more words to the envoy from Daliangzhou.

"You go back first. The imperial court will send people to Daliangzhou immediately. The new emperor has just ascended the throne and will not tolerate any demons and monsters running rampant!"

The envoy from Daliangzhou was sweating on his forehead. He pretended not to understand the hidden meaning in the words, bowed and retreated.

When only the three of them, mother and son, were left in the imperial study, Dabao spoke in a deep voice, "Mother, do you also think that this is someone taking advantage of the situation to provoke me?"

Jiang Lianzhu frowned and said, "It's possible that the water monster is causing trouble, and it's very troublesome. They presented it to us so quickly because they wanted to throw a big problem to you. If you can't solve it, or if you can't solve it perfectly, someone down there will definitely take advantage of it to cause trouble. This matter must be resolved properly, and we can't give them any handle."

As she spoke, Jiang Lianzhu handed the soup to Dabao.

Dabao took it and said, "Thank you for the soup, mother. Mother, I think so too. The water monster is a disaster for the villagers and must be eradicated."

Erbao watched eagerly from the side. Jiang Lianzhu poured another half bowl for Erbao and said, "Drink less. If you drink too much, you will overdo it and get a nosebleed."

This is a nourishing soup specially made for people who work late at night.

The second baby eats and sleeps well all day long and is very lively. He doesn't need to drink anything. I only give him some because he is greedy.

"I understand, don't worry, mother."

Erbao drank it all in one gulp, very greedy.

He was not very interested in what his mother and elder brother said about the national structure and so on, but he still had some ideas about catching the water monster.

"Mom, big brother, are you going to send me to catch the water monster? Or should I go too? I want to broaden my horizons!"

Dabao glared at him, "Not going to college anymore? Who said just now that we moved back to Prince Xiang's Mansion just to be closer to school?"

Erbao was suddenly speechless.

Jiang Lianzhu said seriously, "We have to be very careful about this matter. Why would a child like you go there? Man-eating water monsters are no joke, and we won't let your sister go. Your sister can only control the water flow, but she can't control the monsters in the water. Don't take it for granted."

Erbao then stopped talking.

We need to discuss this matter together after Liao Jiu comes back.

In the evening, Dabao and Liao Jiu came to Fengyi Palace to have dinner together.

It was just like the family meals in the past, without the emperor's pomp and circumstance of serving dozens of delicacies from land and sea.

Jiang Lianzhu asked Erya to prepare some home-cooked dishes from Shamen County, which would be enough for a family of five and create a better dining atmosphere.
