Chapter 283: White Deer
Xixi shook her head and looked around, but didn't find the little grandson.
[I guess I was wrong.]
Xixi didn't doubt it, just thought she had slept.
But she looked at the princess and Qin Shu with some suspicion.
[Hey, why does it feel like the atmosphere between mother and aunt Princess is weird, did they quarrel?]
Little Xixi looked at the two people with some worry.
[No, if mother and aunt Princess quarrel, then mother will lose a best friend, right?]
She couldn't help but reach out and put the princess's hand and Qin Shu's hand together.
"Good friends!"
[Good friends shouldn't quarrel!]
Qin Shu laughed, she didn't expect little Xixi to have such a cute idea.
She squatted down and touched little Xixi's head.
"Mother and the princess are good friends, always have been, Xixi don't have to worry."
Seeing that her mother understood what she meant, little Xixi nodded with satisfaction.
It's good that everything is fine. Auntie Princess's face is not good, but she will still smile at mother, it should not be because mother is angry!
Little Xixi was relieved and quietly nestled in Qin Shu's arms, and was carried back to the palace by her.
When the little grandson saw Xixi coming back, he hurriedly took Xixi and sat back in the seat next to the emperor.
When the emperor saw that little Xixi had changed into a new set of clothes, he also happily touched her little face.
"Xixi is really very cute, she is cute in any color of clothes."
Qin Xixi understood that the emperor was praising her, and immediately giggled.
The emperor was also very pleased.
"The little girl understood that I was praising her, she is really smart!"
All the ministers were apologizing, only Anyueya lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes.
Qin Xixi just understood what the emperor was praising her, how can she be called smart? Why does she need to work hundreds or thousands of times harder than Qin Xixi to get a compliment from the emperor?
The emperor did not feel Anyueya's displeasure, but happily hugged Xixi.
"The girl is much more energetic now."
When the emperor was teasing Xixi just now, he could obviously feel that Xixi was not in good spirits, as if she wanted to sleep.
So although the emperor thought Xixi was cute when he teased little Xixi, he was a little disappointed that he did not see the energetic little Xixi.
But now it's fine. Xiao Xixi is full of energy and actively responds to the emperor's interactions.
She laughs when the emperor praises her and runs away when the emperor catches her. Her giggles make the emperor very happy.
The eldest princess couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Xixi really knows how to please the emperor, she is simply the emperor's favorite.
After the emperor teased Xiao Xixi for a while, he suddenly thought of what he had just heard.
"Hey, what's the matter with the Taifu's son? Why haven't I heard that Tong Chuanqiong is not the Taifu's son?"
The emperor's voice was not loud, and only a few people nearby could hear it.
Xiao Xixi heard it and couldn't help but be shocked.
[No way, how did the emperor know about the Taifu's affairs? I don't even know? ]
Xiao Xixi was puzzled and didn't know how the emperor knew it.
Qin Shu clenched her fists.
She was a little scared, wondering if the emperor could hear Xiao Xixi's thoughts...
But the emperor looked normal, and it was obvious that he didn't hear Xiao Xixi's thoughts.
Qin Shu and the princess looked at each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But Xiao Xixi didn't know about the Taifu?
She was the one who said that!
Qin Shu couldn't help but feel a little strange again. But Xiao Xixi had just done a lot of strange things, and Qin Shu could accept one more.
The emperor was a little suspicious just now, and the voice came from Xiao Xixi. He also thought of what happened when the princess gave birth, and what Xixi had told him in her dream. He couldn't help but suspect that Xixi had magical powers.
But when the emperor asked tentatively just now, Xiao Xixi just widened her eyes, and her surprise didn't seem fake.
Moreover, the emperor did not hear any other sounds from Xiao Xixi, but only a series of incomprehensible babbling words, which were different from the female voice just now.
Could it be that it was really not Xixi who said that?
The emperor suspected that he was wrong, and that someone must have a disagreement with the Grand Tutor and said so on purpose, or he was hallucinating.
No one in the palace dared to say anything, so no one discussed the matter, and everyone thought it was an auditory hallucination.
However, the Grand Tutor would definitely be suspicious this time, and would go back to investigate.
This was the Grand Tutor's private matter, and the emperor gave up the idea of prying into the matter, and began to tease Xiao Xixi again.
He suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at Xiao Xixi again, while talking to Qin Shu.
"Master Qin, you found the white deer this time, which is a great achievement. You can make some requests, and I can meet your reasonable requests."
The ministers who were paying attention to the emperor's voice were all shocked when they heard this.
How rich is Qin Shu to be able to find the white deer?
And money alone is not enough, what is more important is luck. The Qin family is really amazing. They can find the white deer, and most importantly, they are willing to give the white deer to the emperor!
This is also the reason why Qin Shu wants to give the white deer to the emperor. Although there is no law that clearly stipulates that the white deer must be handed over to the royal family, if the Qin family keeps it privately, it will inevitably be criticized.
However, it was when Xiao Si got into trouble last time that Qin Shu proposed to give the white deer away. This time the emperor asked her for a reward, Qin Shu knew how to advance and retreat, so naturally she would not ask for too much.
"I have no other request, I just hope that Your Majesty can convince the Grand Tutor to let Xiao Si go."
The emperor was a little surprised.
"The Grand Tutor has just said that he will not pursue the matter of the Fourth Young Master anymore. Why don't you change your request?"
Qin Shu was a little surprised. She had just carried Xixi to change clothes and had not heard about this.
"Xuan Yi knows a quack doctor who agreed to cure Tong Chuanqiong and prevent him from getting sick, as long as the Grand Tutor does not pursue the matter. This matter has been resolved. Do you have any other requests?"
Qin Shu suddenly realized that it was the little grandson who helped them.
But even if this was the case, Qin Shu would definitely not make any other requests.
She shook her head firmly.
"Since this matter has passed, I have nothing to ask for. I should not have asked for a reward. The white deer should have been returned to the palace. The white deer is a symbol of good fortune. The Qin family's small temple cannot accommodate a sacred creature like a white deer. Only the palace can contain the white deer."
Qin Shu's words were so sincere that it was impossible to tell that she was flattering him.
The emperor was very happy with her words. He felt that Qin Shu knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was very generous, and he praised her again and again.
"Oh no, Concubine Shu!"
