Upon hearing this, He Qiuniang's expression tightened, and she quickly ordered her servants to hurry up.
"Shi Yan, I'll leave it to you to take good care of Yu Yu."
He Qiuniang reluctantly handed the still-sleeping Shi Yu over to Shi Yan.
She originally wanted to go with him in person.
However, Emperor Tai'an specifically requested Shi Yan to accompany him.
Those who overheard Shi Yu's inner thoughts know the reason behind this.
"Don't worry, Madam, Shi Yan will take good care of Miss Yu Yu."
Shi Yan bowed to Shi Yu while holding her in his arms, then turned and left.
Just then, the imperial carriages arrived at the main gate.
However, the eunuch who came was not the same one as yesterday; he was a completely new face.
As for the reason, as I said before, those who have overheard Shi Yu's thoughts know.
The carriage entered the palace gates.
This led the ministers who came to the palace gates for court to speculate wildly.
"Whose house is this? How come they can ride in a carriage into the palace?"
"It seems to be an important person."
"We just don't know who this important person is. We'll pay them a visit later."
...
Meanwhile, Shi Yu, the important figure the ministers were talking about, was fast asleep.
Emperor Tai'an got up a little earlier than usual today.
He got ready and waited in the side hall.
Not long after, a beautiful and delicate little boy walked in carrying a baby.
This child...
When Emperor Tai'an saw Shi Yan's face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
A very handsome boy.
His mother must be about as pretty as that.
Why doesn't he have any recollection of that?
How could a woman who could give birth to such a beautiful baby boy possibly be confined to a madhouse?
Emperor Tai'an thought he should have someone investigate later.
"Your Majesty." Shi Yan bowed while holding Shi Yu.
Emperor Tai'an had held Shi Yu before, so he wasn't too unfamiliar with taking Shi Yu from Shi Yan's arms.
He glanced at the little baby still sleeping in his arms, drooling in his sleep, and couldn't help but ask a question.
Why is she still sleeping?
The main problem is that Shi Yu is sleeping the whole time, so how can he eavesdrop on her thoughts later?
The court has been in some turmoil lately, otherwise Emperor Tai'an wouldn't have come up with such a shameless method.
“Your Majesty, Yu Yu usually wakes up around 9 AM,” Shi Yan said.
"9:00 AM?" Emperor Tai'an frowned.
At that time, the morning court session had been going on for who knows how long.
"Is there any way to wake her up earlier?" Emperor Tai'an asked.
Shi Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's delicious."
Oh, it's delicious.
It's that simple.
Emperor Tai'an immediately ordered the eunuchs to find some food suitable for the infant from the imperial kitchen.
As the aroma of food wafted into her nose, Shi Yu, who was asleep, couldn't help but stir.
"Sniff, sniff, sniff..."
It smells so good!
Who's tempting me with delicious food?
As Shi Yu slept, her small body moved with the twitching of her nose.
An experienced old nanny nearby immediately went to pick up Shi Yu and feed her.
"Smack smack..."
It smells so good!
Shi Yu didn't even open her eyes, but she ate with great gusto.
Emperor Tai'an watched nervously from the side.
He was even more nervous than when his concubines were giving birth.
"Why isn't this little baby awake yet?" Emperor Tai'an lamented.
This bowl of almond goat milk cake is almost gone.
He ate without missing a single bite, but he didn't open his eyes for a second.
This little baby has quite a personality.
The nanny taking care of the child was also helpless.
"How about... we pinch each other?" The women in the harem all liked to do this.
"Pinch?" Emperor Tai'an's face immediately darkened.
This is a decorative item he went through a lot of trouble to get, and he's waiting for it to unleash its power later.
You pinched me?
The old woman shrank back, pretending that what she had just said was nonsense.
"Never mind, let's carry him to court like this for now."
Emperor Tai'an said helplessly.
It was time for the morning court session, and he couldn't afford to be late.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
The head eunuch's long, loud voice rang out...
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
The court officials bowed their heads and paid their respects to Emperor Tai'an in unison.
Then wait until they were excused from their formalities and got up.
Then you see Emperor Tai'an holding a lump in his arms.
Most of the court officials, who were still half asleep, opened their eyes wide instantly.
I blinked hard, then blinked again.
To make sure what they are seeing is not an illusion.
Uh... they must have opened their eyes the wrong way.
Otherwise, how could we see Emperor Tai'an holding a baby in his arms?
When did Emperor Tai'an become such a loving father? Even his most beloved Prince Jin didn't receive this kind of treatment.
Look at you all, so unsophisticated!
Emperor Tai'an noticed the changing expressions on the faces of the court officials.
He smiled slightly, quite pleased, and stroked his beard.
He liked their naive and unsophisticated manner.
They usually look at him like that.
Today it was finally his turn to turn the tables.
"Speak if you have something to report, otherwise the court is adjourned." The chief eunuch's voice pulled the wandering thoughts of everyone in the court back to the present.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of Princess Baihua has been resolved."
"Speak," Emperor Tai'an said casually.
His eyes, however, were fixed on Shi Yu, who was in his arms.
When will this little baby wake up?
Otherwise, just as the old woman said, I'll pinch her.
With these thoughts in mind, Emperor Tai'an secretly extended his devilish claws toward Shi Yu.
