“I dare not talk nonsense. I spent five hundred taels of gold to buy it, and I don’t know if it is the real golden lotus.” Prince Fu did not dare to say anything final in front of the emperor.
He couldn't be sure whether the golden lotus was real or fake, so he could only tell the price he paid for it.
After spending so much money, it can’t be fake, right?
"You are just a fool." The emperor glared at Prince Fu. "The golden lotus is a sacred object. Do you think you can buy it with 500 taels of gold? I think you have too much silver in Prince Fu's mansion and you don't have anywhere to spend it, right?"
"Haha! Your Majesty is right. The golden lotus can't be that cheap. Prince Fu must have been deceived."
"Five hundred taels of gold to buy a golden lotus, Prince Fu is really crazy."
"If there really is a golden lotus, no one would sell it. It is said that anyone who can obtain it must be a child of good fortune."
Prince Fu wanted to refute but didn't know what to say. He had already said that he didn't know whether Jinlian was real or fake, and it was not wrong for people to question it. What else could he say?
The Duke of Zhenguo didn't care about these things. What he cared about was the small milk bottle on the baby's body. As long as she didn't finish drinking, she would rush towards him in a while.
He didn't care about the golden lotus or the golden toad. He just wanted to drink some milk to get rid of the pain in his body that was constantly tormenting him.
When the emperor saw that the court officials had nothing more to discuss, he winked at Eunuch Yuanbao and announced the adjournment of the court.
Everyone walked out, but the Duke of Zhenguo quickly ran against the crowd and chased to the emperor: "Your Majesty! I have something to say."
The emperor stopped holding Chu Xiaoxiao's hand, stood still, and asked suspiciously: "What does the Duke of Zhenguo want to tell me?"
The Duke of Zhenguo didn't even think about it and pointed at the bottle in Chu Xiaoxiao's hand: "This old minister wants to drink a sip of milk from the baby's hand."
emperor:"......"
It’s over. The Duke of Zhenguo is having sex with the little ancestor’s grandmother.
The charcoal-haired man stared at the Duke of Zhenguo, thinking that he was so shameless. At his age, he wanted to drink milk from a fat baby? How could you have the nerve to say that?
However, Li Sizu knew why the Duke of Zhenguo was so persistent. It must be that spiritual spring water was mixed into Xiaoxiao's milk, and the old Duke got unexpected benefits after drinking it, which is why he kept pestering her.
He squatted down and looked at the milk ball: "Sister Xiaoxiao! The Duke of Zhenguo, like your grandfather, has been fighting for years and is covered with wounds. Give him a sip of your milk!" He hoped that it could heal his wounds.
He picked up the bottle and looked at it. The milk ball looked reluctant, but finally frowned and gave the bottle to the Duke of Zhenguo, and stretched out a fat finger: "Drink, take a sip."
The meaning is very clear, you can only drink one sip, not more.
The Duke of Zhenguo smiled brightly, and the wrinkles on his face danced with laughter: "Okay, okay, okay, just drink a sip, a sip."
Taking the bottle, the Duke of Zhenguo opened it carefully, poured a mouthful into his mouth, and just as he swallowed it, the pain in his body seemed to have received the greatest comfort and receded quickly like the tide.
A warm current flows through the body, making you feel so comfortable that you want to cheer.
Holding the bottle, he felt incredible. The emperor had not given him milk for the baby, and even sent the ewe prepared for the baby to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
But after he drank it, he never felt the strange feeling he has now.
He returned the bottle to Chu Xiaoxiao and held her up: "Child! Grandpa thanks you, your milk is like an elixir. Grandpa drank it once before, and the pain in my body was relieved for a long time.
I drank a sip today and the pain went away immediately. From now on, when I feel pain in my body, I can ask you for a sip of milk, okay?"
Milk ball nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
The Duke of Zhenguo's eyes instantly turned red: "Good boy! Grandpa will remember it."
Putting Chu Xiaoxiao down, he glanced at the emperor, hesitant to speak, but finally said it.
"Forgive me for being so nosy, but the baby's milk is very special. Your Majesty is very busy, so a sip of it will surely eliminate your fatigue and keep you healthy both physically and mentally."
The emperor laughed: "Hahaha! Are you trying to get me to drink milk with you, Duke Zhenguo?"
No, no, no, he doesn't need to drink milk, he drinks spiritual spring water. The big jar of water that the little ancestor gave me last time is still there, and it has been hidden in the queen's bedroom. He can drink a glass when he is tired.
You have to drink carefully. Don't just drink it all up. Otherwise, you may not be able to get any more in the future.
The spiritual spring water is really a good thing. Now he is more energetic than anything else, and all the impurities in his body have been cleared out. He doesn't feel tired at all when reviewing memorials, and his backache is gone.
The queen's health has improved a lot and she is pregnant. In a few months, she will have a prince or princess.
The Duke of Zhenguo also felt that he had spoken out of turn, but fortunately the Emperor was not a narrow-minded person. Seeing him laugh, he also laughed awkwardly a few times and continued to advise him.
"This child's milk has a magical effect. It can heal the old wounds on my body. I hope Your Majesty will drink a sip occasionally to strengthen your body and eliminate fatigue."
The little girl looked up at the Duke of Zhenguo and said in a soft and sticky voice, "Your Majesty, drink some water."
[What are you worrying about? The emperor drank earlier than you did. If he hadn't drunk the spiritual spring water, the poison given by the queen mother would not have been removed. He must have been sick and weak. How could he be so energetic? ]
Li Sizu pulled Chu Xiaoxiao's hand, fearing that she would be unhappy, and explained to her: "Sister Xiaoxiao! The Duke of Zhenguo is only concerned about the health of our father. He is a good man."
The Duke of Zhenguo, who was given the good guy card, looked at the young prince with gratitude, and his heart was instantly relieved.
Although the prince is young, he is very sensible. He knows how much effort and dedication the prince has put into Dongsheng, and he also knows why the prince suffers the pain he has.
That's enough.
If the prince knows it, there is no reason why the emperor wouldn't know it.
As long as Dongsheng has a wise ruler, it will not worry about not being prosperous and strong.
"Hmm!" Naituanzi rummaged in the small cloth bag he was carrying, took out a pear, and handed it to the Duke of Zhenguo, "Eat it! It won't hurt if you eat it!"
Originally, the Duke of Zhenguo wanted to be polite, but the fragrance of the pear kept drilling into his nose, so fragrant that it made him salivate.
It's not like he hasn't eaten pears before, but he never thought they were tasty. They weren't very sweet, and were even a little sour, but why did the pear that the baby took out smell so good?
What kind of pear is this? It looks no different from the ones he has seen before!
When the emperor saw the pear in his hand, he solemnly instructed: "Duke Zhenguo! Follow me to the imperial study and eat the pear before leaving!"
The little ancestor actually took out the spiritual fruit. If this gets out and the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom finds out, will he kidnap her?
I heard that the high priest of Nanyun Country is very arrogant and cunning, and wants to take all the good things he sees for himself. My little ancestor is so good, will he become the target of his plunder?
We must protect our little ancestor well, and nothing about her can be spread out at will.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at the pear in his hand, then at the small cloth bag that Naituanzi was carrying, and then at the emperor's cold expression. He suddenly seemed to understand something.
