"Duke Zhenguo! If you want to drink milk, just drink it. Do you have to be so shameless? The baby's bottle is empty. What else do you want? Are you going to eat the whole bottle?"
"You are already old, a first-rank duke, and you actually did such an indecent act in public. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by us?"
"Duke Zhenguo! Have some shame! You've drunk up all the milk in the bottle. Hurry and return the bottle to the owner. The baby is waiting for you."
After waiting for a long time, not a drop of water came out. Duke Zhenguo was still not satisfied, so he reluctantly handed the bottle to Chu Xiaoxiao and asked her.
"Baby! Who gave you this milk?"
Chu Xiaoxiao then turned her head and pointed at the emperor on the podium, meaning that the emperor gave it to her.
The Duke of Zhenguo's face froze and he said nothing.
He dared not covet the emperor's things, coveting them would mean death. He had just escaped from the gates of hell and could not step into them again.
The emperor wanted to explain loudly that it was not given by him, but was taken out by the little ancestor himself, and he wanted to drink it too.
Someone was puzzled and asked the Duke of Zhenguo: "Why are you asking this question when you already know the answer? You still want to drink more after you've already drunk it? Isn't it just milk? Go back and get some goats and I'll make sure you're full."
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the man like an idiot, thinking, is it the milk? It's a life-saving good thing. It's a pity that no one has tasted it, only he has tasted it, and no one would believe it if he told them.
Milk ball took the bottle, walked to Li Sizu and motioned him to hold him.
[Let's go back! The old man won't die, and Prince Duan's chance to stir up trouble has been nipped in the bud.]
Li Sizu picked up Chu Xiaoxiao and walked up to the platform with difficulty. Eunuch Yuanbao hurried over, took her away and carried her to the emperor.
After all this commotion, Naituanzi was tired and sat there listlessly. The emperor saw that there was nothing to worry about and announced the adjournment of the court.
He reached out and picked up Chu Xiaoxiao, walked out of the Golden Palace, and went to the imperial study at the back.
She was allowed to finish her breakfast before letting Eunuch Yuanbao send her out of the palace.
When the Duke of Zhenguo returned home, the more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. How did the Emperor know that he had fire sores? It must have been the Duke of Huguo Chu Zhinan who told him.
He was going to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. He hadn't seen the old Duke of Protectorate for a long time, so it was a good opportunity to meet him and get things done.
The Duke of Zhenguo came as soon as he thought of it, without sending a visiting card in advance. The old Duke of Huguo was fiddling with his orchids in the orchid garden, and when he heard that there was a visitor, he immediately put down his hoe and left the orchid garden.
Chu Zhinan stayed at home and did not go to the camp outside Beijing.
The Duke of Zhenguo was happy and felt that he had arrived at the right time.
The old Duke of Protectorate and Chu Zhinan were both in the reception room. Chu Xiaoxiao was originally riding a big white goose around in her yard.
After hearing Furong say that there were guests in the house, Xiaopang patted the big white goose on the head and pointed to the front yard.
"Angry, angry, angry..."
Furong laughed when she heard this and corrected her: "Miss! It's about going, not being angry."
The little girl's big watery eyes flickered, and her long eyelashes were like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly high. She nodded heavily in her little head, and opened her mouth and said: "Angry, angry, angry..."
Liu Ming laughed out loud when he heard this, but when he realized he had lost control, he immediately covered his mouth.
Chu Xiaoxiao didn't care. She looked back at her and laughed.
He smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes, and danced with joy, as if he was praised by someone and was in high spirits.
"Ga! Ga! Ga! Ga!..."
The big white goose felt its owner's happiness and started to cluck along, wagging its head happily and even its little eyes started to smile.
Liu Ming felt that the big white goose had become a spirit. Ever since the young lady picked it up from the lake, she never looked for its "three palaces and six courtyards," or its offspring and grandchildren.
He kept following the lady all day, wanting to eat the grass she pulled. When he was happy, he would wag his head and tail, hum and groan, looking like he was enjoying it.
Sometimes she felt strange. Isn't it just a bunch of grass? Wasn't it picked by the young lady herself? Why was the silly goose so excited?
Big white goose: “…”
You two-legged beast, don't you understand the happiness of Master Goose? Is that ordinary grass? The master gave you spiritual grass, the kind that makes you smarter after eating it.
The little kid has grown up. Now when I ride on the goose, I have to wrap my feet around it, otherwise I will drag on the ground and get bumped by stones on the road, which is very painful.
Fortunately, the big white goose's back is quite wide, just right for her to sit on it.
Her cross-legged posture was very standard, as if she had practiced it for thousands of years.
Front yard flower hall.
The Duke of Zhenguo was chatting with the old Duke of Huguo. Chu Zhinan came in, greeted the Duke of Zhenguo, then performed the usual greetings to the old Duke of Huguo and sat down aside.
Military generals all have straightforward tempers. The Duke of Zhenguo was very envious when he saw that the old Duke of Huguo looked very good, with a straight back and a rosy face.
"Old Chu! How do you maintain your health? You weren't as energetic as you are now. What did you eat?"
The old Protector of the Country laughed: "I don't take care of myself, and I don't eat anything. I just take care of the orchids and tease my granddaughter every day. When I'm in a good mood, everything I eat tastes delicious, and my body will naturally get better."
"I don't believe it." The Duke of Zhenguo tasted the sweetness today and asked in a low voice, "Did the emperor give you milk?"
"Milk? What milk?"
The old Duke of Protectorate had no idea what was happening in the court and was extremely surprised.
Chu Zhinan explained: "It was the milk that the emperor prepared for Xiaoxiao. The Duke of Zhenguo suddenly fainted, so Xiaoxiao gave him the milk. After drinking it, the Duke of Zhenguo woke up, and later drank up all the milk left in the bottle."
Thinking about the goodness of the milk, the Duke of Zhenguo was so happy that he didn't notice the Chu father and son making eyes at each other.
Old Protector of the Country: "......"
Is that milk the spiritual spring water that Xiaoxiao took out?
Chu Zhinan nodded slightly, and the old Duke of Protectorate's pupils shrank slightly. No wonder the Duke of Zhenguo asked about milk.
"That milk was prepared by the Emperor. After drinking it, I felt warm all over. The pain from my old injuries has been alleviated a lot today. I really want to drink more, but unfortunately there is no more. There is only a small sip left in the bottle."
"You old bastard, how dare you say that? That was my granddaughter's milk, and you actually rushed to drink it all. Aren't you ashamed?" The old Protector of the Country was afraid that his granddaughter's secret would be discovered, so he cursed, "You have lived for decades and have been living like a dog? You even snatched the baby's milk?"
"What do you mean by baby's milk? That's the good stuff. Old Chu! I don't believe you didn't drink it. If you didn't drink it, how come the wrinkles on your face disappeared? Where does the strength in your speech come from?"
Old Protector of the Country: "......"
You old fool, you actually noticed that the wrinkles on my face have decreased? I did drink it, but it wasn't milk I drank, it was water, spiritual spring water.
Chu Zhinan looked at the two men, who were over a hundred years old together, fighting over a mouthful of milk, and suddenly got a headache.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and their family are old friends. They are all warriors, so they naturally form a united front and share the same hatred for the enemy.
But no matter how good their personal relationship is, her daughter's secret cannot be revealed to him, as that would bring her into great trouble.
"I have this because I exercise every day."
"Impossible." The Duke of Zhenguo retorted, pulling his neck, "The emperor must have given you milk, or you secretly drank the milk your granddaughter brought back."
The old Protector of the Country: "I thought I was as shameless as you."
