Chapter 372 I'm sorry, I know you're suffering from unrequited love.
Xiao Tang was quite pleased with the little boy's frightened appearance. She nodded gently and then said to him, "Since the Emperor understands, he should know that there are some things that cannot be told to the Empress Dowager in the truest terms."
Di Qingyan was initially a little nervous, but upon hearing this, his expression softened slightly.
He tugged at the hem of his dragon robe.
He couldn't quite articulate his thoughts, but his expression clearly betrayed his frustration.
He hesitated before nodding.
She said softly, "You, you're right, Uncle Hao Fang. You teach me how to do it, and I'll do it exactly as you say."
Xiao Tang was quite certain that this guy was not cut out to be an emperor because of his humble demeanor.
Every time she saw the young emperor, she began to wonder why the late emperor had made this decision.
I really just want to give this little baby a stable future...?
Or was it simply a stepping stone for Di Jingling to seize the throne?
No, no, no, the reason is also because of the book.
If the author wants to arrange it this way, who can control the plot and setting?
Xiao Tang nodded, "Your Majesty, the most important thing for you now is to study hard and broaden your horizons. You will understand in the future."
“When the time is right, I will speak with the Emperor in detail.”
Even though the little one is quite old now, he still doesn't understand. "What is an opportune moment? How long does it take? I also want to know when the opportune moment will come!"
He rubbed his little hands together, very excited.
Xiao Tang was speechless after being asked several questions by him.
Finally… he replied sullenly, “Your Majesty, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed, otherwise, I shall be struck by lightning.”
Di Yanqing, who had finally managed to calm down, tensed up again after Xiao Tang's words.
His whole body was tense.
"No! I don't want to!"
"I won't say anything, I won't ask anything, I'll never ask again."
The little guy is still very sensitive.
He ran off shouting.
Xiao Tang watched him run away without looking back, secretly amused, and gently rubbed her forehead.
She's becoming more and more skilled at soothing children.
I never realized before how fun this little guy is.
She couldn't help but wonder if it would be even more fun if she and Di Jingling had a baby in the future.
They returned to the Imperial Preceptor's residence from the palace.
Before even getting off the carriage, I saw Yuuji standing in front of the mansion gate, looking around.
As soon as he saw her carriage approaching, Xiong Er excitedly went to greet it.
"Grand Preceptor, you can go back to your residence now!"
Upon seeing Xiao Tang, the man's eyes lit up.
Xiao Tang didn't know what he was happy about.
It couldn't possibly be a man bored and lonely in the palace seeking comfort!
Facing Xiao Tang's questioning gaze, Xiong Er didn't react. He took the initiative to open the door for her and let her into the mansion.
As he walked, he explained, "Grand Preceptor, the Empress Dowager just sent someone over, and I stopped them outside the Grand Preceptor's residence."
"So you've been standing at the door the whole time?"
Xiao Tang looked at him.
His eyes did change slightly.
She seemed to have a completely new perspective on this guy.
Yuuji smiled before saying, "My lord, I've been standing outside the door the whole time. After all, the Empress Dowager has been sending people to inquire about your masked male favorite..."
Xiao Tang's eyes sharpened.
“I, I didn’t say anything. I only said that he had always served by the master’s side.”
Perhaps sensing Xiao Tang's piercing gaze, Xiong Er stammered as he spoke.
He was frightened.
Xiao Tang gave a soft "hmm": "That's a good answer."
"Then..." Yuuji asked curiously, "that male concubine, he..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Tang stared at him with a death stare.
Yuji, that coward, was so frightened that he kept backing away.
"My lord, please don't be angry. I was just asking casually."
And a male concubine...
This is the first time I've heard of someone calling their male concubine "Master".
Xiao Tang was both helpless and speechless.
She said slowly, "My male servant is usually shy and timid. He doesn't like strangers, so you'd better not mess with him. He also has a bad temper and can be quite ruthless."
gurgle—
Yuji was so frightened that he swallowed hard and dared not ask any more questions.
Xiao Tang walked past him and went far away.
Yuji immediately touched his neck.
Will this male concubine get jealous and strangle him too?
...
The same night.
The little pink dumpling bounced around her, even more excited than she, the host who was doing the mission.
"Host, host, how are you?"
"?"
"The fifth mission is about to be successfully completed!"
"..." Not very good, I was even a little indifferent.
Xiao Tang glanced at the system of the Great Misfortune, but ultimately remained silent.
The system also realized that it shouldn't have spoken like that, because in the end, she would definitely be sad because of it, and she hadn't slept in her man's arms for three consecutive days.
Its excitement is just a way of poking at people's sore spots.
"Host, I'm sorry, I know you're suffering from lovesickness, but it's okay, it'll be fine tomorrow."
Xiao Tang curled her lips.
"Hehe, thank you so much."
Thank you, you damn system, for always trying to screw me over.
It's only three days.
But she found it extremely difficult to endure.
These past two days in the palace, even when she encountered Di Jingling, the man didn't even glance at her, treating her like a stranger.
This led many court officials to speculate whether the regent had fallen out with the imperial advisor.
The Empress Dowager was especially nervous.
Xiao Tang could guess that if the Empress Dowager was certain that the Imperial Advisor and the Regent had fallen out, her first move would be to win over the Imperial Advisor to deal with the Regent.
