Chapter 53 The protagonist always appears last

The Minister of Revenue said worriedly: "Marquis, His Majesty values ​​the young Imperial Master very much, so this method must be used with caution."

"Hey, how could this Marquis not know this?" Marquis Chengguo narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "My trick is to give gifts to the person who likes it!"

The court officials were stunned and asked in surprise: "A gift?"

"Yes!" Marquis Chengguo slapped his thigh, "Everyone has had children in their families, right? Children love to be noisy and play games, and they are most impatient to sit with adults. We will give the little princess a set of all the toys that children like, and I don't believe she will be willing to go to court."

The eyes of several court officials lit up.

The Minister of Rites could not help but ask, "But the little imperial tutor is different from other children. What good things has he not seen?"

Marquis Chengguo rolled his eyes and said, "You have been playing Cuju and hunting since you were a child. Now you can continue to receive your salary and play more games without going to court. Are you happy? And if we do this, what reason does His Majesty have to blame us?!"

The Minister of Rites was silent for a moment and nodded.

Seeing this, other court officials immediately began to make plans:

"I brought a new model of the Iron-eating Beast from Jiangnan. It's the most popular model among children. I'll give it to the little princess."

"Ha! I have a set of twelve white jade Luban locks at home. My daughter loves playing with them. I'll take one too. Ha, it will surely charm the little princess."

"I heard that the little princess likes jade. I happen to have a set of twelve flying jade fairies, which can also wear golden lace clothes and jewelry. I will send it to her too! It will definitely make the little princess happy and forget about court."

…

As they talked, the court officials chuckled and reached a consensus.

In the afternoon, Yuanruan was lazily basking in the sun in the garden.

At this moment, the green-clad palace maid hurried over and bowed, saying, "Princess Nine, here is a gift from the Imperial Academy for congratulations to you."

Yuan Ruan was stunned. Give her a gift?

She stretched out her hand and babbled, and the palace maid immediately carried her to Kunning Palace.

As soon as we arrived at Kunning Palace, we saw two palace guards carrying boxes that were half a person's height, and several of the queen's maids were counting and registering them.

When they saw Yuan Ruan coming over, they all bowed and said, "Princess Nine, this is the sugar figure, this is the rattle, this is..."

Yuanruan looked around and saw all kinds of exquisite gadgets, even a set of cute models of pandas performing various actions.

Yuanruan stared at the panda and covered his mouth in surprise.

The maid cleverly handed over the panda model.

Yuanruan touched it with his hand. Wow, this black and white panda model not only looks similar, but also feels furry. It also comes with a robe, skirt, bamboo and a small hat that the panda can wear. It is very cute.

No Chinese can resist the charm of the national treasure, let alone the panda version of Nuannuan.

Yuanruan couldn't help but hold her in her arms and play with her.

Just at this time, the fifth prince also passed by with a small model of a panda.

He had already walked past, but when he saw that Yuanruan had a set of panda models that he had never seen before, he couldn't help but walk forward.

The maid saluted: "Greetings to His Highness the Fifth Prince."

The fifth prince nodded and said, "Hey!" After a pause, he snorted and said, "Ninth sister, your fifth prince is here to see you. Who gave you the iron-eating beast in your hand? Let me see it."

Yuan Ruan didn't even raise his eyelids.

The Fifth Prince frowned. At this moment, the maid who was serving the little princess stood up and saluted, saying, "Fifth Prince, this is a gift from the Imperial Academy to the Ninth Princess."

"Hanlin editor, a mere sixth rank..." The fifth prince showed a contemptuous smile on his face, "Ninth sister, let's exchange iron beasts for fun. I can forget about the things you have done to me in the past."

Yuan Ruan turned his head, stretched out his hand and called out "Ya Ya" twice to the palace maid.

If I wasn't afraid of accidentally hurting the palace maidens, I would have electrocuted him again.

Although the palace maids could not read people's minds, they were very good at observing people's expressions. She quickly picked up Yuan Ruan and bowed to the Fifth Prince, saying, "Your Highness. The Ninth Princess is tired. I will take the little princess back now..."

"Get lost! How dare you stand in my way!" The fifth prince glared at the maid, then looked at Yuan Ruan, "Don't be so proud. This is the first time that the emperor has adopted a princess, and he thinks you are new, so he is being respectful to you. But the emperor is most concerned about government affairs, and after a few months when he is no longer new to the princess, it will be very difficult for you to live in the palace without your mother. But give this to me, and by the way, give me the things that bothered people last time. I can give you a small half of what the mother gave you."

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: You just gave Concubine De away like this, does Concubine De know?

The maid was at a loss for words and said hurriedly, "Fifth Prince, the Ninth Princess is still young, so she may not understand these things. Besides, the Ninth Princess is the young imperial teacher, so she is always a little different."

"Ninth sister doesn't understand. You won't understand? You will definitely follow Ninth sister in the future. How good will it be for you if she falls into poverty? Why don't you make plans for your master?" The Fifth Prince said with his arms crossed.

He looked coldly at the palace maid who was suddenly silent, and continued: "Besides, what's the status of the little imperial teacher? In the past, the imperial teachers were all respected by the important officials in the court. What about my ninth sister? It's just a few small gifts from the sixth rank. It's nothing. In the future, you still have to rely on my mother."

Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: As expected of a royal child, how old is he? His little thoughts and PUA skills are almost maxed out.

At this time, another maid in green came running in, and said in surprise, "Hey, here, there are a lot of cars coming outside, all of which are gifts for the Ninth Princess."

"Ninth Princess, the Minister of Justice sent a box of gifts."

"Here are two boxes of gifts specially sent by the Ministry of Works, including the Nine-Linked Jade Rings, the Huarong Dao, etc."

"Princess Nine, the Minister of Rites sent a box of jade bracelets, a box of white jade animal statues, etc...."

…

Fifth Prince: !!!

The green-clad maid added, "Ninth Princess, Marquis Chengguo wrote to say that this is a small gift to congratulate you on becoming the Imperial Preceptor. As long as you like it, Marquis Chengguo hopes to have this honor and continue to send it. I have never seen a princess so respected and valued. She is worthy of being the Imperial Preceptor."

Fifth Prince: !!!

Yuan Ruan almost laughed out loud. She seemed to hear the sound of the Fifth Prince being slapped in the face.

When Yuan Ruan turned around again in a good mood, he happened to see the Fifth Prince running away with a dark face.

The maid holding Yuan Ruan also chuckled, but didn't say much. She just whispered, "Strange, there are so many gifts? Can the adults tell me the reason?"

The green-dressed palace maid said, "They just said that they were celebrating the Ninth Princess becoming the Little Imperial Preceptor. Ah... I think someone mentioned that the Little Imperial Preceptor will attend court tomorrow. Maybe the adults are happy to work with the Ninth Princess?"

Yuanruan was shocked and couldn't help but say to the system:

[What? I’m only nine months old! I have to go to court already? ]

The system sighed: [Hiss... I was also surprised, and even more surprised that they were so eager to work with you! As expected of a young national teacher, you have great luck.]

Yuan Ruan: [Hehe! They gave me so many gifts, so I must give them some face.]

The next day, at the hour of Mao, Yuan Ruan was dug out from under her quilt by a palace maid.

The queen was looking at the sleepy Yuan Ruan with concern and yawned: "Look at how confused you are. Your Majesty is really bothering Jiuer. How about I go and tell her."

[No way! They are praising me so much, I must cheer up and go! ]

The Queen recalled the Duke and the Marchioness's covert inquiries, and her expression twitched slightly: Did Jiuer misunderstand something?

But when she saw Baozida's face full of energy and spirit, the empress smiled with glee, and said, "It doesn't matter. Just let it be a misunderstanding. Anyway, those court officials would not dare to make Jiuer unhappy."

After eating the milk porridge, Yuanruan happily came to the Golden Palace.

At this time, the morning court session had already been more than half completed and was about to come to an end.

Yuan Ruan did not come, which surprised some court officials.

The court officials who participated in the gift-giving activity all showed proud expressions, and they told those court officials who were unaware of the situation openly and secretly that it was their credit.

However, the next second, Yuanruan, who was late due to diarrhea after eating too much, finally showed up.

At the same time, everyone heard a familiar voice:

[Jiang Jiang Jiang, here I come! Hehe, the protagonist always appears last! I'm a little nervous. 】

System: [There are so many people here, Ah Ruan, do you want to eat a melon to calm down? ]

Courtiers: !!!
