But he didn't say this out loud, one because he was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy, and the other because it hadn't come to that point yet.
When the time comes, he will definitely say what he should say.
No matter who he had to abandon, he could not abandon his little daughter.
The emperor remained silent, just watching the courtiers quarreling. If it had been a few days ago, he would have been angry.
With the little ancestor in charge today, he is not in a hurry at all.
Chu Xiaoxiao stood on the emperor's dragon throne, holding the bottle and taking a few gulps of milk. She sucked happily, and the Duke of Zhenguo below looked at her eagerly.
I really want to go up and ask for a sip! Last time I drank the baby's milk, the pain from my old injuries healed a lot.
But so much time has passed that the pain has come back again. If I could have another sip of milk to help him feel better for a while, I would be very grateful.
How should he speak in public?
No matter how heated the discussion in the court was, the Duke of Zhenguo always kept his eyes on Naituanzi's bottle. When she drank milk, he smacked his lips.
It’s just that everyone was focusing on discussing other things, and no one noticed that the Duke was acting strangely.
"Prince Qing! It's not that we have to give her up, but we have to make plans early. Fourteen years old is already a big girl, and it's a great blessing to recognize her as a princess."
King Qing stared coldly at the person who spoke: "Do you want this gift? My daughter is too young to serve the high priest."
"According to King Qing's intention, are you going to ignore the people of Dongsheng? Are you going to watch the high priest punish them?"
"That's not my intention. I just think that sending a royal child would seem insincere."
After hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that his cousin Prince Qing's previous loyalty to him was a bunch of shit.
The children of the royal family are not sincere? Does that mean only the legitimate princesses are sincere? Prince Qing deserves death.
There were very few princes and princesses in his harem. The oldest was the sixth princess born to the queen, who was seven years old. The others were younger. When his father was in power, he always missed his mother and rarely entered the harem. He didn't even have a sister.
Does Prince Qing want his Sixth Princess to shoulder such a heavy burden?
Li Sizu also cast a cold look at Prince Qing. He would never give his sister to that hateful high priest.
Prince Qing felt the gazes of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and he immediately became panic-stricken. He secretly blamed himself for not keeping his composure and for speaking too directly, fearing that the Emperor would be angry with him.
A civil official came out and saluted: "Your Majesty! We can discuss this matter later. The high priest has already accepted princesses from the Northern Kingdom and Western Zhao as maids. If we send them again, I'm afraid he will be unhappy. It would be better to find something else to give him."
Chu Xiaoxiao put down the milk bottle, looking unhappy, and snorted coldly: "Humph! No thanks."
As she said this, she shook her head vigorously, put her hands on her hips, and looked like she was ready to fight anyone who disagreed with her.
That aura and expression are so adorable that it makes people bleed.
Li Sizu: “…”
Sister Xiaoxiao has an aura of two meters and eight, so even if the high priest of Nanyun Country comes, don’t think of taking advantage of her.
Black charcoal head: "......"
Look at how capable my mistress is. She can even deal with me, so why would she be afraid of a human high priest? These shameless old men are too contemptuous.
[A bunch of ignorant idiots who only know how to give gifts to others. No matter how powerful that old man is, how powerful can he be? Give him gifts? He is beautiful. ]
The emperor turned around and looked at the angry little boy. He felt much better and smiled as he hugged him in his arms: "Princess Lingxiao is right. This time, Dongsheng will not give us anything.
Whether it is people or things, it is not worth preparing. If you want to send something, just send something that is usually exchanged with other countries!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gasp in the hall, and every minister had a sad face and gave earnest advice.
"Your Majesty! No! If we anger the high priest, Dongsheng will be in trouble."
"Yes! If a disaster really strikes, what can our people do to resist it?"
"It is said that the high priest is cruel and ruthless. Even the monarch of Nanyun Kingdom can't do anything to him. How can we make him unhappy?"
"Your Majesty, please think twice and prepare the people and things as soon as possible! As long as it does not anger the high priest and does not bring disaster to the people, whatever we do is right."
Looking at the person who was talking, the little kid suddenly started to giggle.
The laughter was very abrupt and the court officials were puzzled. They all looked up at Princess Lingxiao who was laughing so wildly and unrestrainedly, and no one dared to say a word.
Everyone knew that she was the emperor's little ancestor. No matter when, as long as she went to court, no matter how outrageous her actions were, the emperor would accept them unconditionally.
A few laughs were nothing. When she wanted to play with the beads on the dragon crown, the emperor would lower his head and let her play.
"Haha! Haha!" The milk ball laughed and stretched out his hand, pointing at the last person who spoke, "You, hand it over, show it."
Everyone: “…”
What are you handing over? Baby! Don't say a word, can we just say the whole thing?
The chubby little finger pointed downwards, and the man who was speaking staggered and knelt down. He didn't know what Lord Lingxiao wanted him to hand over.
My mind is so dizzy that I can't think anymore. Nothing good will happen if this baby targets me.
[Humph! Your family has an 800-year-old mountain ginseng that has been passed down for five generations. It is the high priest's favorite natural treasure. Hand it over! It will be your contribution to the people of Dongsheng.]
emperor:"......"
My dear! Are you serious? An 800-year-old mountain ginseng? Passed down through five generations? Oh dear! That must be turned over to the national treasury.
Li Sizu touched his nose and laughed secretly. It was so funny. Sister Xiaoxiao made people hand over the heirloom with one move. I really like watching her doing bad things. She is so cute.
Black charcoal head: "......"
If it is really an 800-year-old wild ginseng, it is indeed a natural treasure. Master, can you give me some to try?
The emperor looked at the man kneeling in the hall and asked slowly, "My dear! I heard that your family has an heirloom? It has been passed down for five generations?
I see that you are deeply patriotic, so please take out the 800-year-old wild ginseng from your home and offer it to me! I'm sure the high priest will appreciate such a good thing."
The little girl was so happy that she kept laughing.
[Ahaha! The emperor is so powerful, he also knows this? ]
emperor:"......"
Didn't you say that? Every time I bring you to court, I always get something unexpected, hahaha! So happy!
The man kneeling on the ground shuddered and fell to the ground. It was over. He wanted to show off, but he didn't expect to expose the family heirloom.
The emperor actually knew that his family had 800-year-old wild ginseng. Who told him? That was the most valuable thing in their family.
A ginseng root as long as a fingernail can save a life. This thing in the family has been kept secret, but the emperor actually knew about it?
It’s terrifying when you think about it!
What was going on in the court officials' families that he didn't know?
