Although Xiao Ruoyi's name had long been heard by all the civil and military officials in the court, no one had ever seen her. So, when everyone saw Xiao Ruoyi at this moment, they were still confused, and they didn't know that the person in front of them was the one they were going to report to today.
Well, seeing how much Emperor Donglin dotes on this little girl, now everyone knows without having to guess that the person in front of them is the daughter of Concubine Liang.
The only person who could be so doted on by Emperor Donglin, with her adorable appearance of only three or four years old, is the daughter of Concubine Liang.
But she didn't expect that Emperor Donglin was so fond of her and even brought her to the morning court.
The old tutor was furious when she heard this. "Your Majesty, how can you allow a little girl to attend court? This is against etiquette!"
As the emperor's teacher, the old tutor was the only person present who was qualified to reprimand Emperor Donglin, and he was also the regent entrusted by the empress dowager.
Looking at the old tutor with a righteous look on his face, Xiao Ruoyi lowered his head and covered his mouth with his chubby hands as he laughed secretly.
"Yiyi, what's wrong?"
Emperor Donglin looked down at Xiao Ruoyi in confusion. Why did she suddenly laugh?
Xiao Ruoyi shook her head and laughed in her heart, [Hey, what else can I laugh at? Of course I'm laughing at the old man who is showing off here, but is such a coward at home! Even if the old lady threw a washboard in front of him, he would kneel down without saying a word! ]
...
...
Emperor Donglin, "..." So the old tutor is such an old tutor!
(Old Master, "Traitor! Traitor! Damn you, you stinky boy! You deserve to be beaten!")
Emperor Donglin knew Xiao Ruoyi's abilities and was very sure that what she said in her heart was absolutely true.
He never expected that the Grand Tutor who used to be so majestic and stern in front of him and now even dared to point at his nose and scold him was actually a henpecked husband!
What made him laugh even more was that the tutor would often kneel on the washboard. It was really hilarious.
Suddenly I want to get a washboard and try it out!
Xiao Ruoyi tilted her little head and said in a baby voice, "Eh? Grandpa, you are so awesome. Grandma often makes me kneel on the washboard at home!"
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot, but this time the one who sticks out is the Taifu. I can only say I'm sorry to the old man.
“Puff!”
Emperor Donglin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The old master's pupils trembled when the "boudoir secrets" were suddenly mentioned. Her wrinkled face was filled with shock and disbelief. She pointed at Xiao Ruoyi with trembling fingers, "You, you, you..."
Xiao Ruoyi tapped her smooth chin with her cute little chubby finger, "Grandpa, did Yiyi say something wrong?"
For a moment, all the ministers forgot that Emperor Donglin had brought Xiao Ruoyi to court, and they all looked at the tutor with gossipy expressions.
"Wow, is this true?"
"So the Grand Tutor is this kind of man! He actually kneels before a woman, how shameful!"
"Is the Master a henpecked husband? Why didn't I see that before?"
"I never expected that! It's really unexpected that the status of the Grand Tutor in the family is so low!"
Gossip knows no boundaries of space, age, or occasion. When people hear such big gossip, they all lower their heads and start discussing it.
The discussions around him made the old tutor feel ashamed. The look he gave Xiao Ruoyi was as if he wanted to give her dozens or hundreds of slaps on the hand to teach her a lesson.
Emperor Donglin, who had studied under the guidance of the Grand Tutor since childhood, immediately understood the meaning of the Grand Tutor's eyes and was startled.
Emperor Donglin immediately covered his little girl's mouth and comforted the tutor with a smile, "Taifu, Yiyi is still young, please bear with me!"
Little girl, don’t be too picky in finding the one who stands out. Even he wouldn’t dare to offend this guy!
Xiao Ruoyi shrugged nonchalantly, [Well, I'm only three and a half years old now, still young! Whatever you say is right!]
Emperor Donglin, "..." The little girl is quite clever, she knows she is still young! She is taking advantage of her young age to commit crimes!
However, in order to save the Grand Tutor's face, Emperor Donglin still gently advised Xiao Ruoyi, "Be good, Yiyi. Children should not talk nonsense. Apologize to Grandpa Grand Tutor quickly!"
Xiao Ruoyi blinked her big, beautiful dark eyes innocently, then turned to look at the Grand Tutor and apologized in a baby voice, "Grandpa Grandpa, I'm sorry. Yiyi is still young and can't speak. You will definitely not hold it against Yiyi, right?"
The corner of Taifu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Looking at the well-behaved little girl, why did he feel that she was quirky?
I don't know why, but if he dares to say he doesn't forgive her, the little girl will definitely tell him what color pants he should wear today.
For the sake of his own old face, the master could only smile awkwardly and nodded, "Yes, yes, okay, okay, it's okay, but in the future, you still can't say certain things carelessly!"
Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, he will become the topic of conversation among all the ministers today. It's really embarrassing!
The old tutor never imagined that at the last minute, he would lose his integrity in his later years!
"Yeah!" Xiao Ruoyi nodded obediently, her big, lively eyes full of smiles, "Yiyi is very obedient, Yiyi will never talk nonsense, everything she says is true!"
Master, "..." is true, but you'd better not say it! I don't want to hear it!
The ministers all had gossipy looks on their faces and wanted the little princess to say more so that they could also have some gossip.
Emperor Donglin pursed his lips and tried not to laugh. Looking at the aggrieved yet helpless look of the Grand Tutor, the little man in his heart had already burst into laughter. No one could make the Grand Tutor so aggrieved!
In order to dispel the embarrassment of the Grand Tutor, Emperor Donglin quickly said, "Ahem... Let's continue the morning court!"
Everyone then remembered that many ministers had been reminded today to report the matter of Concubine Liang and her daughter.
But they didn't expect that as soon as they attended the morning court, they saw Emperor Donglin holding a little girl in his arms, and then they forgot about it.
Now seeing that Xiao Ruoyi was still in Emperor Donglin's arms, many ministers looked at her with eyes filled with jealousy and murderous intent.
If for nothing else, it was for the exclusive favor of Emperor Donglin, which was what all concubines and princes wanted.
Everyone wanted to beat this damn girl down, but being the first to stick out wasn't so easy!
Duke Lu, the leader of this morning court session and the father of Concubine Shu, gave the Minister of Rites a hint with his eyes.
Now he even brought Xiao Ruoyi directly to the morning court, which made Duke Lu angry and worried.
Back then, they spent a lot of effort to send Concubine Liang to the cold palace. Now that they are out, they will definitely seek revenge on them. In this case, they might as well take the initiative.
Especially since his grandson had sent a message yesterday that Emperor Donglin had beaten him for this little bastard, this had made him feel a sense of crisis, and he was so angry that he would not allow Concubine Liang and the others to continue.
Xia Huai, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang used witchcraft to harm the harem's offspring four years ago, but now she has been released from the cold palace so easily, and even restored to the position of concubine. This will chill the hearts of the court and the people! For the sake of national stability, please understand this!"
