The little fellow crossed his arms, puffed up his cheeks, and pouted angrily, "Good mother shouldn't have lied to me... Go back and punish me with ten kisses..."
Thinking of Zhao Ying, Shangguan Qingyue's longing for her mother was rekindled. She stepped forward, grasped Emperor Jianxi's hand, and tearfully pleaded, "Good Grandfather, please let me go home to see my mother! I promise you, I will never tell anyone about your bed-wetting!"
Emperor Jianxi's eyes widened. Upon hearing the sound, he immediately stood up and pulled Shangguan Qingyue up, asking her to look at the "map" on the dragon bed. "Look! Look at where the source of the 'river' is? Who peed on whom?!"
Shangguan Qingyue, his arms supported, examined him carefully, then looked at Emperor Jianxi with an innocent expression, "I understand."
Emperor Jianxi breathed a sigh of relief.
The child is not too stupid.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, I heard the little one's baby voice, "I thought we both peed together, but it seems... I'm the one taking the blame for it. It was all your fault! How could a little kid like me pee so much?"
Emperor Jianxi: ...
After witnessing his grandfather's angry expressions, Shangguan Qingyue also witnessed his maternal grandfather's...
Wu Yonggui, who was standing aside, was surprised at how His Majesty could communicate with the mute little lady, and felt helpless... As the emperor of a country, he didn't debate with scholars in the court, but argued with a little brat about who wet the bed!
It’s too shameful to look at!
An old man and a child were arguing when a report suddenly came from outside.
The commander of the imperial guards, Zhou Ji, came to see the emperor.
Emperor Jianxi had enjoyed enough of the "family happiness" and hurriedly asked Wu Yonggui to change his clothes, and also changed Shangguan Qingyue's clothes. Then he went to the front hall and started working.
Zhou Ji bowed, but before Emperor Jianxi could tell him to stand up, he raised his arm to wipe his tears and burst into tears. The usually serious commander of the imperial guards was now as sad as a child.
"Your Majesty, this humble servant...my mother is dead..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianxi frowned, sighed, and asked, "How old is your mother?"
"Your Majesty, I am eighty-six years old."
Emperor Jianxi nodded.
Zhou Ji stopped crying and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I'm here to ask for mourning leave..."
According to the etiquette of the Great Chu, officials who had one of their parents pass away could take a ten-day mourning leave, which lasted three years. During the mourning period, they could not get married or attend banquets, could not visit the mansion to celebrate, and could not visit prostitutes or drink!
Violators may be punished with death.
Zhou Ji was not the eldest son of the Zhou family, so he did not need to leave his post to observe mourning, he only needed to observe filial piety.
Zhou Ji had always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and had performed his duties conscientiously. Emperor Jianxi certainly could not treat him unfairly, so he readily agreed and also gave Zhou Ji some other graces.
After Zhou Ji left, it was already past breakfast time. Emperor Jianxi wanted to wait until noon to eat together, but he could endure it, but Shangguan Qingyue could not.
The little guy couldn't speak, and could only gesture to Wu Yonggui when he was hungry. However, Wu Yonggui couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time, and he was very anxious. In the end, he had to carry Shangguan Qingyue to find Emperor Jianxi again.
Emperor Jianxi didn't even bother to look at Shangguan Qingyue's gestures and said directly, "Serve the meal!"
Wu Yonggui was so frightened that he was almost mad.
This, this, this... Your Majesty is truly amazing.
Little did he know that Shangguan Qingyue's voice was about to burst his eardrums.
【I’m hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry!!! Ah!!!】
【I said I’m hungry and I want to eat!!!】
【Why are you so stupid?! 】
[Do you want to starve me to death? ! ! ]
[Oh my god, I can't even understand this... Is it because the brain is castrated?]
The little guy held his forehead and sighed.
Lunch had not arrived yet, and Emperor Jianxi was worried that the little guy would starve to death, so he fed him a few cakes first.
The little guy ate and complained, "No wonder Grandpa is so fat! The cakes in the palace are so delicious! I'm going to bring two pieces for Mom before I leave so she can try them too!"
Emperor Jianxi originally frowned when he heard Shangguan Qingyue complain about his fatness, but when he heard the following words, his heart suddenly softened.
Children have pure and sincere hearts, and they want to bring good things to the people they love the most.
This child is the daughter of his most beloved daughter... Emperor Jianxi looked at Shangguan Qingyue's eyebrows and eyes with a faint smile, and he really looked like Cheng Qian when he was a child!
Still so naughty!
It’s just that Xiao Yue’er is not as smart as Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian would never accuse him of wetting the bed...
But Xiao Yueer is also very likable!
As soon as Emperor Jianxi stretched out his hand, Wu Yonggui handed him a clean handkerchief. Emperor Jianxi took it and wiped Shangguan Qingyue's mouth.
Then he said softly, "You don't have to give it to your mother, she doesn't like to eat this!"
Shangguan Qingyue looked up at Emperor Jianxi with a puzzled look on his face. "So what does she like to eat?"
Emperor Jianxi thought about it and was about to tell her when the voice of the messenger outside rang out again.
"Lord Wei Yuan, the Director of the Imperial College, presents an audience!"
【Second cousin? 】
Emperor Jianxi said calmly: "Let him in!"
"Wei Yuan pays respect to His Majesty!"
"What is it?"
"I would like to ask for ten days' leave..."
Wei Yuan paused for a moment before speaking out.
The Great Chu has a regulation that court officials can ask for leave within three days by consulting their superiors. If it exceeds three days, they need to ask His Majesty and inform the reason.
"Ten days?" Emperor Jianxi sneered, "What? Your father is dead too?"
Emperor Jianxi's frank words show how deep his prejudice against Wei Ju was.
Almost everyone in the court knew that Emperor Jianxi disliked Wei Ju and was even more wary of the Wei family. The reason he did not touch the Wei family was probably because of Empress Xiaomin.
Wei Yuan didn't react at all to this, obviously he was used to it.
He said frankly, "Your Majesty, my father is fine, it is me who has a personal matter..."
"What do you want?"
Wei Yuan really couldn't say it.
It's too complicated and too embarrassing.
If he doesn't say it, someone else will say it for him.
Shangguan Qingyue said with great interest: [Hehe, hehe, hehehe... Of course it's to catch someone cheating!!]
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianxi's originally relaxed back instantly straightened up.
Feeling refreshed.
[His wife is having an affair with his mistress!]
!!
Emperor Jianxi was eating melons excitedly, and it took him a while to realize that Wei Yuan's wife was a woman, and his concubine must also be a woman. Two women... were together?
This is too...
The first time Emperor Jianxi looked at Wei Yuan, he showed sympathy.
Wei Yuan was still kneeling there, holding it in.
[I think I'm going to see the live show, but unfortunately my maternal grandfather definitely won't let me go!!]
Emperor Jianxi: ...What's so interesting about catching two women committing adultery? Honey, we won't go! We won't go!
【But it’s really exciting! 】
Emperor Jianxi began to think: How exciting is it...
Wei Yuan's second uncle had a crush on Wei Fu's eldest uncle and found a body double who looked like him to hide.
Emperor Jianxi: Pfft! This is too exciting!!
[My uncle Wei Ju raped my aunt and even gave birth to a child...]
Emperor Jianxi: What a scoundrel! He even didn't spare his own daughter-in-law!
Emperor Jianxi was so angry that he wanted to slam the table, but as soon as he raised his hand, he reacted and decided not to disturb Xiao Yue'er, otherwise he would not be able to eat the melon!
