Chapter 56 You Are Good For Nothing



When Yu Yiluo woke up again, she was in Concubine Li's bedroom.

"Dad, don't worry. The emperor has already told me that my brother is fine and will be returning to the capital soon."

【Grandfather is here?】

Hearing her daughter's voice, Concubine Li stood up and hugged Yu Yiluo.

"Luo'er is like you, she doesn't cry or make a fuss."

General Jin looked at his little granddaughter with a loving face, took out a gold bracelet from his arms and handed it to Concubine Li.

"Father, keep it for yourself," Concubine Li pushed the bracelet back, "Luo'er and I have everything we need in the palace."

"I'm giving it to my granddaughter, and she won't refuse you to do it for her?"

General Jin glared at Concubine Li and put the gold bracelet directly on Yu Yiluo's little hand.

"Luo'er looks so pretty with it, so my hands won't be empty."

Yu Yiluo danced and giggled.

Grandfather understands me so well. My hands are never empty when I wear them.

"Look, Luo'er is so happy."

Concubine Li: “…”

As long as it is valuable, Luoer will be happy.

......

The other side.

The Fourth Prince, who was about to leave the palace, saw Tao Ye walking towards him, so he quickly looked away, pretended not to see her, and quickened his pace.

"Your Highness, please wait for this servant."

Tao Ye trotted over to catch up with the Fourth Prince, panting as she said, "The Empress sent this servant to invite you to Feiyu Palace."

Knowing that he couldn't escape, the Fourth Prince followed Tao Ye to Feiyu Palace dejectedly.

"Tao Ye, my mother hasn't been tinkering with anything lately, right?"

He had a bad feeling that his mother's request for him to go must be bad news.

Tao Ye remained calm and said, "I don't know."

"You are my mother's personal maid, how could you not know?"

The Fourth Prince tried to ask some questions, but no matter what he said, Tao Ye replied that she didn't know.

When he was almost at Feiyu Palace, he stopped.

"Tao Ye, I remember I have something to deal with. I will come to see mother another day."

Tao Ye turned to look at him, expressionless: "The Queen said that you are useless, this is an excuse."

The Fourth Prince's face darkened, he rolled his eyes, and raised his hands to hold his stomach, "My stomach is uncomfortable, I need to go back and rest."

"Your Highness, the Queen said that if you try to run away, you will bear the consequences at your own risk, and your acting is so fake."

The Fourth Prince stood up straight, thinking that he had lied to his mother so many times that she had figured out his tricks.

"Let's go, my stomach is better now."

When he reached the gate of Feiyu Palace, Tao Ye pushed the door open and went in.

Concubine Shu was leaning on the chaise longue, holding a cup of tea. When she saw Tao Ye come in, she smiled and asked, "Is the Fourth Prince here?"

Tao Ye nodded.

Your Majesty, if you ask him to come, would he dare not come?

"Okay, open all the doors."

Tao Ye stepped forward to open the door, then retreated back to Concubine Shu's side.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

The fourth prince looked vigilantly at both sides of the door, trying to see if there were any traps.

"If you're not doing anything, why don't you come in?"

"Mother," the Fourth Prince took a cautious step forward, "this child is your biological child, right?"

Concubine Shu placed the tea sample on the table, glanced at him, and chuckled, "Silly boy, of course you are mother's biological child. Come in quickly and don't stand there like a stick. It's okay even if Tao Ye comes in, so what are you afraid of?"

The Fourth Prince took two steps doubtfully, and when he found that nothing was wrong, he curled the corners of his mouth.

My mother finally decided not to punish him anymore.

He had just collected his thoughts when several smoking bamboo tubes flew towards him. He was so scared that he quickly stepped back, shouting loudly.

"Mother, what the hell is this?"

After saying that, he quickly raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose.

Concubine Shu laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "Silly child, there's nothing wrong with this cigarette, why are you covering your mouth and nose?"

The smoke is fine, that's just a bamboo tube, could it have exploded?

The Fourth Prince, who had suffered greatly from the attack, stepped back in fear and covered his ears. "Mother, if you destroy me, you will have no fun."

He knew that his mother always asked him to come for good reasons, so she would always let him come and experience new things first.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"

Concubine Shu rolled her eyes and stood up. "Now you know you're afraid. Weren't you quite capable in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

When the Fourth Prince discovered that it was just a bamboo tube emitting pure smoke, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to Concubine Shu.

He said with a playful smile: "Mother, I have always been timid. I know you are worried that I will be punished by my father..."

He wanted to say something, but Concubine Shu interrupted him.

"Stop, I'm worried that you'll be punished and my money will be implicated."

She was originally very fond of flowers.

The Fourth Prince touched his nose and said, "Isn't this unrelated?"

Concubine Shu glanced at him and said, "The other princes have all given Luo'er gifts. When are you going to make up for it?"

"Luo'er? Who is it?"

The Fourth Prince looked puzzled, then realized, "Little sister, I don't know what to give her."

Thinking of the little silver he had left, the Fourth Prince spoke with a bright smile.

"Mother, how about you lend me some silver? I will pay you back when the time comes."

He had lent all his money to Yang Xin. It was okay for him to give a shabby gift, but he couldn't afford anything else.

"Please repeat what you just said." Concubine Shu said with a smile.

The Fourth Prince was stunned. Could it be that his mother agreed?

"Mother, how about..."

"Get out!" Concubine Shu said and slammed the door shut.

......

Two days after Yu Yiluo's full-moon banquet, the emperor issued an imperial edict that caused dissatisfaction among his ministers.

"Your Majesty, it's inappropriate for Master Li to be the Crown Prince's teacher at such a young age!"

The emperor held Yu Yiluo in his arms and looked at the person who was speaking. His tone expressed no emotion.

"Then tell me, who is suitable to be the prince's teacher?"

The hall instantly fell silent. They only knew that Master Li was not suitable, but they naturally had no idea who was suitable.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. The Crown Prince is the future heir apparent. How can choosing a teacher be a joke?"

Another minister stepped forward and said, "What's more, this man was recommended by the former Grand Tutor. Who knows if he is sincere?"

The emperor sneered, "When you were asked for advice, you all played dumb, but now you're all so eloquent."

Since it concerned his own son, Prime Minister Li didn't know what to say and just stood aside without saying anything.

"Your Majesty, since some officials think that Mr. Li is not suitable, why not let them invite Mr. Min's apprentice? If they can find one, wouldn't that be a good thing?" The Minister of Rites spoke loudly.

Those who objected looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Lord Su, that's easy for us to say. We don't even know who Mr. Min's apprentice is, let alone invite him."

The key is that they may not come.

Just as everyone was arguing, a young eunuch came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Li requests an audience."

"Send someone in."

Li Yunhe calmly walked past the crowd, came to the center of the hall, and bowed.

"Li Yunhe, the ministers believe that you are not qualified to be the prince's teacher. They want to ask Mr. Min to be their disciple. What do you think?"

Wuhu, smash their faces.
