Chu Xiaoxiao was held in the arms of Chu Zhinan and sat in the carriage. She stuck her head out of the window, looking at the street scene with a smile on her face.
Chu Zhinan teased her: "Xiaoxiao! Do you want to buy something? Dad will buy it for you!"
As long as my daughter doesn't ask for the throne, everything else is up to her. Chu Zhinan decided that from now on, his daughter's affairs would be his top priority.
The child is really too young and has to endure too much. As a father, the only thing he can do is to make his daughter happy.
There seems to be nothing else left.
Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she pointed outside: "Eat, eat, eat."
[I want lots of delicious food. Dad, please buy them for me. I want roasted chicken legs, fried dough twist rolls, and the glutinous rice cakes and scallion pancakes.]
"Okay! Dad will buy them all for you."
Chu Zhinan carried his daughter out of the carriage and went from one store to another. It didn't take long for the father and daughter to buy a lot of food, and the black-haired boy became the bag-carrying boy.
His hands were full of oil paper bags, and he could no longer carry them, so he put them on the carriage and came back to get more.
For the first time, Chu Zhinan experienced the joy of buying things for his children. To be honest, he had never had the opportunity to buy anything for his children before.
He was young at that time and didn't like Yang very much. Even though Chu Yifei was their first child, he had never held him in his arms.
It was even worse for Chu Yimo, Chu Yilin and Chu Yishang who were born later. They were not at home. They were always fighting with the northerners in the north to protect the safety of the northern people.
He was not at home when his daughter was born. When he came back to see her, she was just a small ball, looking very soft. But he could hear her voice, which gave the Chu family a glimmer of hope.
From then on, he didn't want to go to the North anymore. He just wanted to stay with his daughter, let her grow up happily and safely.
He learned how to feed the baby, change her diapers, change her clothes, carry her to the garden to look at the flowers, accompany her to the Duke of Duan's zoo to steal animals, and take her to tame the black charcoal head.
Today he brought her to buy food again. These were things he had never done before. Only after having a daughter did he slowly appreciate the joy of being a father.
The child grew up too fast. In a blink of an eye, he became the imperial teacher, whose rank was higher than that of his father. He did not feel happy, but worried instead.
Taking on such an important responsibility at such a young age, won’t it be more difficult when you grow up?
Niutanzi ate something delicious, sat on Chu Zhinan's lap, and staggered to Master Liu's residence. They didn't hand in a visiting card before they came, so they could only wait for the doorman to report.
Upon hearing that the Imperial Preceptor and the Prince of Qin's Palace had arrived, Grand Preceptor Liu came out in person to greet them.
He has already seen the abilities of the Imperial Master. Don't be fooled by his young age, he is really amazing. The key is that he knows things that no one in the court, whether civil or military, knows.
No wonder the emperor appointed her as the imperial teacher.
And the snake meat was really good to eat! His old waist and cold legs no longer hurt, and even his masculine vigor was revived.
If he were not the Imperial Master, how could he have experienced the joy of the noisy nights?
At his age, he had long lost interest in women, and the concubines in the backyard had long been put aside. Who would have thought that after eating the snake meat, he would actually be able to get it back.
Upon hearing the news, the concubines came and brought him tonic soup, good tea, and a good inkstone. The study room, which had been deserted for who knows how long, became lively again.
During the morning court session, he asked several close ministers about it, and they all had similar situations as his, and they all couldn't stop smiling when they talked about it.
"The Imperial Master brought us such a good thing. We must be polite to her when we see her next time."
"Yes, yes, yes. Your Majesty has good vision. I didn't expect that the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom would be finished with just one move by the State Master. Hahaha! It's so satisfying. So satisfying."
"He was the one who caused the great drought fifty years ago, and so many people died. Fifty years later, he was eaten by us. He took the initiative to pay with his life."
"That snake meat is really delicious. It's the first time in my life that I've eaten such delicious snake meat. It also cured my illness. I will always remember the kindness of the Imperial Master."
Everyone's words are still fresh in his mind. He didn't expect that the imperial teacher would come to his house. It was really rare.
"Master Imperial Master! Prince!"
Grand Tutor Liu was in his fifties, not fat, but a little bit plump, with gray hair. He was an elegant man. He greeted Chu Zhinan and Chu Xiaoxiao with a smile and personally led them in.
After eating glutinous rice cake, Naituanzi's face was covered with black sesame seeds. Chu Zhinan took a towel and wiped them carefully.
The charcoal-haired man explained the purpose of their visit on her behalf: "Master Liu! We are here to look for a woman named Jinglan. Can you send someone to call her out?"
[He didn't know who Jinglan was, so he told him that she was the one his third son picked up a few days ago.]
"Jinglan! Who is that?" Master Liu really didn't know. He looked at the black-haired man in astonishment, then looked at Chu Xiaoxiao, "Why does the Imperial Master have to look for her?"
"My master has a reason for wanting to find her. Don't ask me anything. It's useless to tell you. You won't understand at all."
The charcoal-headed man looked like he deserved a beating and his tone was naughty too. If Master Liu hadn't seen him transform into a dragon and kill the giant black snake with his own eyes, he would have wanted to kick him a few times.
Who is this person, without any rank or status, who dares to come to his Grand Tutor's mansion and act so arrogantly?
But he has the capital to be arrogant, so he doesn't dare to act rashly. Even the emperor is respectful and polite to this black boy, let alone him?
If you accidentally offend them, you won’t even know how you were destroyed.
"Yes, yes, yes, I really don't know." Master Liu had a very good attitude and was extremely respectful to the black-haired man.
"This Jinglan that my master is talking about was brought back by your third son a few days ago. Send someone to call her over!"
"No, let's go find it."
The sesame seeds on the boy's face had been cleaned up, and he took the hand of the black-haired guy and went to the backyard. Chu Zhinan did not stop him. Master Liu was a little worried.
"Prince! Is there anything wrong with them just going in to look for someone like this?"
Chu Zhinan smiled and shook his head: "It's not wrong, it's true that I disturbed the peace of the backyard of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but this is all for your good. The Grand Tutor may not know that Miss Jinglan is not a human, but a rat spirit."
"What?" Master Liu staggered in fear and almost fell to the ground. Chu Zhinan helped him stand firmly. "Prince! Are you serious? Is there a rat spirit in our house?"
Chu Zhinan nodded solemnly: "If not for this, my Xiaoxiao would not have come here to look for someone."
If anyone had said this to Grand Master Liu before seeing the high priest of Nanyun Kingdom transformed into a black snake, he would have spit on that person's face.
After seeing the scene in the palace, he would no longer think that there were no monsters in the world. In fact, they existed.
Things like “A Master does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or demons” are all lies.
It's not that if they don't talk about it, those things won't exist, it's just that they exist so ingeniously that no one can recognize them.
Even though the Imperial Master was only two years old, she could still tell whether those things were well disguised or not.
