Chapter 8 To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is still romantic.



The wet nurse was so frightened that she scrambled to her knees before Emperor Yuanwu.

"Your Majesty, spare my life! It wasn't that I refused to feed the Seventh Princess, it was..."

The wet nurse's heart pounded as she glanced toward Consort Shu's bed.

She knew that in the inner palace, one had to be careful with one's words and actions to save one's life, so naturally she dared not mention the midwife's affair, much less say that Consort Shu had forbidden it.

"...It's because the little princess doesn't want to drink."

Mu Qianqian: Uh...

This passage was not in the book she was reading.

Because the seventh princess in the book was sent to the wilderness as soon as she was born, there was no way she could find a wet nurse.

Okay, okay!

Let her take the blame.

Yes, yes, yes!

I just don't drink it.

"Really?" Emperor Yuanwu was skeptical.

This was the first time he had ever heard of a baby being born and drinking cow's milk instead of human milk.

"This servant would not dare to deceive Your Majesty." The wet nurse trembled with fear, large beads of sweat dripping down her cheeks.

[Holy crap, my scumbag father truly lives up to his reputation as a first-rate tyrant!]

Look how frightened these servants have become.

But my dad is incredibly handsome!

No wonder all the women in the palace are going to such lengths to sleep with my scumbag father.

Is this what they mean by "dying beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, one is still romantic"?

[Dad, my dear dad, your stunningly beautiful face has almost cured my fear of men.]

Consort Shu: ...

Consort Shu, upon hearing her daughter's heartfelt words, choked on her own saliva and coughed violently: "Cough cough cough!"

tyrant!

What a scumbag dad!

It's amazing that she could come up with such outrageous words.

Consort Shu glanced cautiously at Emperor Yuanwu.

Seeing that his expression was normal, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness!

Only she could hear her daughter's innermost thoughts.

Otherwise, Emperor Yuanwu would hear about this.

I'm afraid even ten heads wouldn't be enough for Emperor Yuanwu to chop off her silly daughter.

She felt that her daughter was not only silly but also a bit of a fangirl.

Emperor Yuanwu also frowned.

tyrant.

Scumbag dad?

Peonies!?

Fear of men! ! !

Calling him a tyrant and a scumbag is one thing, but...

They actually said he looked like a flower?

Emperor Yuanwu was on the verge of losing his composure.

"Consort Zhuang has arrived..."

The voice of a eunuch announcing the news came from the doorway.

Consort Zhuang entered carrying a food box. Upon seeing Emperor Yuanwu, she was visibly startled: "Your Majesty, I did not know you were here. Long live the Emperor!"

Having eaten and drunk her fill, Mu Qianqian lazily yawned.

[I was unaware that the Emperor was present.]

[Tsk tsk tsk!]

In the Qiluan Garden, a courtyard was filled with palace maids and eunuchs.

[Back when she seduced the Emperor, she knew every family's genealogy inside and out, and now she has the nerve to say she doesn't know.]

[Tsk, this concubine is really good at pretending.]

Consort Shu: ...

Emperor Yuanwu:! ! !

He hadn't thought there was anything wrong with the concubines saying this before.

Now, after her daughter's analysis...

He immediately realized that what he said did sound rather pretentious.

Emperor Yuanwu frowned: "Didn't Consort Zhuang already come to see Consort Shu at noon?"

The smile on Consort Zhuang's face suddenly froze: "Your Majesty, I have prepared a nourishing pigeon soup for my sister and brought it here specially."

Wow! That's exactly what this scumbag dad said—it's exactly what this princess wanted to hear!

【only……】

The next second.

Mu Qianqian couldn't help but sneeze: "Achoo!"

"What's wrong?" Emperor Yuanwu looked anxiously at his daughter in his arms. "Jixiang, summon the imperial physician."
