Chapter 69 The Hope of the Whole Village

At three o'clock in the morning, Xia Yu'an woke up rubbing his eyes.

Well, I don’t want to think about…

I want to have a good sleep.

He is the follower of Huilongjue, Xiaolongbao! No, Xiaolongmiao!

Xia Silan had already put on his clothes, a red official uniform with a gold-flowered jade belt around his waist. It was obviously an ordinary uniform, but when he put it on, he looked like a graceful figure.

The narrow and long eyebrows are a stroke of thick ink, the naturally snow-white hair is like the cinnamon from heaven, and the corners of the lips are smiling elegantly.

"Get up." Xia Silan picked up Xia Yu'an lovingly and coaxed him gently: "It's time to go to court."

"Can't you take a nap?"

“I have to go today.”

Xia Silan helped him put on his clothes, but Xia Yu'an just stared at him in a daze.

He then grabbed his brother's neck.

My brother is so good, he likes him so much.

He was so outstanding in every aspect, and he could handle things so well even when he was seriously ill.

Also extremely self-disciplined and restrained.

No wonder so many women like him and want to marry him, even as concubines.

If I wasn't his brother, I would probably fall in love with him too...

Why?

like?

Don’t you like it anyway?

Is this liking the same as the liking that just popped up?

Um??

The kitten was confused.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Silan helped his brother, who had just woken up and was still sleepy and struggling to open his eyes, to get dressed.

Anyway, it's better to have another nap. Put on your clothes first.

Xia Yu'an hugged Xia Silan's neck and smiled gently.

"Suddenly I feel this is good."

"Why are you so silly?" Xia Silan put his arm around the man's waist and pulled him into his arms.

"No, I just think you are so great, brother. I can't even compare to you."

Xia Silan's eyebrows became even gentler, and he looked at Xia Yu'an with a bright look in his eyes: "Youngest is also very good."

Naughty, cute, smart, imaginative, and dares to break all the rules.

After coming to this world, Xia Yu'an's way of handling things broke his cognition time and time again, which impressed him and made him look at her in a different light.

"Young Master, Young Lord, Shi Liu is here to bring you food." The door of the room opened, and Shi Liu came in with a tray, followed by Sixteen.

They both knew that the master and the young master would go to court today, and the master specifically ordered that they make small steamed buns.

Eh?? It’s really a small steamed bun!

Xia Yu'an widened his eyes in surprise.

Just now he said he was the little long bun from Huilongjue! No! Little long meow!

Listening to the youngest's adorable voice, Xia Silan smiled gently and pinched the little cat's face: "It's time to eat, little cat meow."

The reason why he asked the kitchen to make steamed buns was because Xia Yu'an liked them. These steamed buns were the same flavor as the ones from their steamed bun shop, and they were really delicious.

I anticipated that Xia Yu'an would have difficulty getting up, so I chose his favorite food and flavors.

Shi Liu set the table. Xia Yu'an seized every moment and took a quick nap before being woken up by his brother to eat.

I have no choice but to go out to court——

The early chickens catch the worm later than this!

Look, there's no rooster crowing yet!

Oh, is my brother always like this?

Of course, Xia Silan did not attend court every day.

But he had been on a case at the Royal Guards before and had been there for a few days.

At that time, Xia Yu'an only thought that her brother got up early and the quilt was cold, but she didn't expect it to be so hard. Now she has a real sense of it.

The two men held hands and came to the court under a bright moonlight.

Because the civil and military officials were not in the same position, they had to be separated.

Well, it’s my first time going to court without my brother by my side, and I’m quite nervous.

He knows nothing about etiquette!

His Majesty is not worried, but he will be scolded by the Minister of Rites again.

Try to minimize your presence!

I'm just a little cat!

As soon as Emperor Shaoguang came to court, he was attracted by Xia Yu'an's voice.

Hey, not bad! With Xia Yu'an here today, the court is going to be lively!

Finally it’s not boring anymore!

Emperor Shaoguang is looking forward to seeing how Xia Yu'an's thoughts will be expressed.

If he had been given some spoilers, it would have been better if he had known about the treacherous ministers and the future of Dashao.

Will he go down in history as a famous figure, or will he be cursed?

Have you made any contribution to the country?

Can Dashao last for a hundred years?

"Do you have anything to report?"

Naturally, other people don't have such a broad vision as Emperor Shaoguang.

After some pushing and shoving, someone finally came out to impeach him.

He was an old minister who looked to be in his forties, Yu Taibao.

"Your Majesty, this time the imperial examination... the 'college entrance examination' reform, the military examination is fine, but the 'civil examination' has many problems..." He bowed solemnly, and became more and more excited as he spoke, his face flushed and his neck thickened.

He had received instructions from the Third Prince to get rid of Xia Yu'an. No matter what, next year's imperial examination had to be restored to its original state!

Otherwise, how to get people into the court?

The Third Prince's men are powerful, and they all rely on it!

And now, their descendants cannot pass the 'college entrance examination'...

[Accumulated evils, accumulated evils, you know it is accumulated evils! Only after a long time can it be accumulated. The old ones don’t go away before the new ones come. Old man, you said it the other way around, didn’t you? ]

[Alas, Your Majesty, why do you keep such a good-for-nothing! He is already so old...]

[It seems that reform is right, otherwise, a fool like Minister Yu would be elected! ]

Yu Taibao: "..."

His face changed rapidly, from red to white.

He just said a few words, Your Majesty won't really fire him, will he?

Let him go back to his hometown?

Seeing that His Majesty's expression did not change much, he felt that he was fine again: "After all, the Crown Prince's Consort is still young. How can our dynasty follow the plans of a young girl..."

[You are a child! I am married! I am an adult!]

[So that's how it is. He is the Third Prince's man. No wonder.]

[The Third Prince is ambitious...]

"Prince, Princess, when are you going to have a child?" Are you unable to have one?

Yu Taibao interrupted, sweating profusely.

Firstly, this statement implies that the couple has no children and they are still young, that is, small! Secondly, it mocks Xia Yu'an as a chicken that cannot lay eggs, and has not made any move after being married for so long! Thirdly, it also interrupts Xia Yu'an's thoughts, killing three birds with one stone!

Yu Taibao was very proud.

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu'an immediately became unhappy.

When will you give birth?

Isn't this the same as asking someone when they can have sex without protection? How rude of you!

In the main hall! He spoke without thinking!

Haha, since you ask such a question, I want to see what else you have to say!

【Ah, this melon! 】

【Meow, good guys, good guys! 】

【You are going too far! 】

What melon? What melon?

Everyone pricked up their ears.

These days, everyone in the court has more or less known about Xia Yu'an's affairs, and they feel it is quite magical.

Even the old minister from the Ministry of Rites, who was often considered unseemly, stroked his beard and showed some interest.

Xia Yu'an's voice can not only solve problems, but also distinguish loyalty from treachery!

It is the unshirkable responsibility of the Ministry of Rites to drive out corrupt officials, uphold justice, and maintain the rites and ethics of Dashao!

Speak up, speak up!

Everyone's eyes turned to Xia Yu'an.

Xia Yu'an still doesn't know what happened.

[Let the 40-year-old Jiu Gongzhu old tree bloom? ]

[No wonder you asked about the child! It turns out you are going to have a legitimate child! ]

[But the Ninth Princess is old, already over 40, and it is very dangerous for her to give birth in this era! ]

[Sure enough, the Ninth Princess had a difficult birth. According to the plot, she can only choose one between the mother and the child. She is going to die...]

[What a pity! The Ninth Princess was a kind person. She was unwilling to leave. She still missed His Majesty and was attached to this world...]

Emperor Shaoguang couldn't sit still any longer: "Go, Taibao Mansion!"

This is his only sister!

It’s not that all the other princesses are dead, it’s just that the relationship between the Ninth Princess and him is particularly different.

The ninth princess' mother was a close friend of his mother, just like... Concubine De and Concubine Shu, so she took good care of him.

A group of people followed His Majesty into the Taibao Mansion in a mighty procession. The people in the mansion had never seen such a big scene before!

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, various important military officials...

With a "thump", they all knelt down immediately.

All I could hear was a woman's hoarse howling of pain coming from the room in the backyard. From the sound alone I could tell how desperate and helpless the owner was.

The voice was high in the beginning, but soon became weak.

Is it really difficult to give birth?!

A doctor came out and shook his head at Yu Taibao, implying that only one could be saved.

Yu Taibao rushed in and held the Ninth Princess's hand with a look of deep affection.

"Tu'er, hold on..."

"No, I really can't do it anymore..."

"Master, can you please not... not give birth... I..." The Ninth Princess swallowed her words back with difficulty halfway through her words. Giving birth to children and having an heir is a woman's destiny!

What choice did she have? She knew how much the master of the house was looking forward to having this child.

The Ninth Princess's face was covered with sweat and her eyes were filled with tears.

The doctor over there is already sharpening his knife on the flint.

"What is...what is this?" The Ninth Princess turned pale.

[This is a knife that will kill you, Ninth Princess! He wants to have a caesarean section to get the baby! I guess he has already discussed this with the doctor!]

[You will bleed profusely, and even gods won’t be able to save you…]

"No, I... Master, am I going to die?"

"No, Tu'er, believe me, even if something happens, I will stay with you!"

[Don't you believe him? Even if you die, who knows where he will be happy!]

[This is the limitation of the times! When a woman gets married, she belongs to her husband's family and can let her husband's family make decisions. Even if His Majesty comes, he cannot interfere! ]

The doctor wiped his sweat off his face, walked over, and reported the situation to Emperor Shao Guang: "In this situation, even if we save the mother, it will be difficult... Taking the child... abandoning the mother is the most correct choice."

The Ninth Princess' eyes gradually dimmed, but deep inside, she still showed a desire to live.

Survival... is everyone's instinct...

She didn't love the child. They had never met and had no feelings for each other. The little maternal love she had was not enough to make her sacrifice.

But she also knew that the head of the family would not give in.

So she could only accept her fate! Fate! Fate! It was all fate!

Especially women, they have no control over anything.

The Ninth Princess was once the apple of the late emperor's eye. Later, the late emperor became tyrannical and many people were saved by the Ninth Princess when they were desperate.

Thinking back to the past, the Ninth Princess was so beautiful and charming, but now she can only lie on the bed without any dignity.

In the eyes of everyone, the royal princess is certainly more important than Yu Taibao's offspring!

Not everyone is confused, and they can still tell what is important and what is not!

Even if Yu Taibao kills his descendants, the Ninth Princess' life must not be lost!

The ministers were extremely anxious! Is there no other way?

The Ninth Princess can only wait to die! ? Watching helplessly? !

"Why are you pretending to be affectionate here?"

"Deep love means taking her life in exchange for a son of yours?!"

All the officials placed their hopes on Xia Yu'an.

I heard that Xia Yu'an used to be stupid, but he was obsessed with medicine and his medical skills were unparalleled!
