Chapter 374 What use are you if you know nothing?
When Xiao Tang attended court, he paid more attention to his entire body than usual.
The imperial court was still debating the aftermath of the avalanche.
Not only were many farmers' farmlands destroyed, but their houses also collapsed, and the number of deaths and injuries was countless.
She yawned, and suddenly felt an exceptionally intense and piercing gaze fall on her face.
Her yawning motion suddenly stopped.
Her gaze met the man's dark eyes from afar, and she caught a glimpse of the burning light in them.
He's been pretending she's a stranger these past few days, not even looking at her during court sessions. Why is he looking at her today?
What are you going to do about it?
Look again, look again, look again and I'll eat you up!
She glared back fiercely.
His eyes were filled with a threatening look.
Di Jingling's thin lips moved slightly; although it was somewhat amusing, he ultimately said nothing.
His gaze slowly shifted to the young emperor's face.
He was also listening to the ministers' arguments.
In fact, he still didn't quite understand, as these things were far too complicated for him.
Di Yanqing pursed his lips and looked at Di Jingling, his eyes filled with pleading and anticipation for an answer.
Emperor Jingling suddenly spoke up: "I think the Imperial Advisor has a different opinion. Why don't we listen to his insightful opinion?"
[Damn! What's wrong with you, little bro?]
[I didn't say a word, and you're saying I have a problem? Fine, I know you're deliberately picking a fight!!]
Xiao Tang cursed inwardly, wishing she could pounce on him and bite him, to show this guy in front of all the officials that she also had a temper!
But now, she can't.
After all, she was the Imperial Advisor.
He is still one of Di Jingling's people.
She responded to Emperor Jingling with a forced smile: "Your Highness, this matter is far too complicated. Let's treat the wounded first. After all, it's snowing so heavily outside, so let's ensure the safety of the people first."
"Tch!" someone scoffed. "I thought the Grand Preceptor had some brilliant insights, but he's just spouting useless nonsense."
"Are you calling me a jerk for talking nonsense? Damn it!"
She almost rolled up her sleeves and punched him.
"The key issue is who should go to provide disaster relief this time?" the old man said again.
After the old man spoke, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
After all, that's the key point.
And so, another argument broke out in the hall over who should go.
The young emperor was very excited to see these senior ministers, who were of the generation he could call his grandfather, arguing heatedly with their faces red and spittle flying.
He was glad he wasn't standing below, otherwise he would have been drowned in their spittle at any moment.
The young emperor glanced at Di Jingling cautiously and gently.
Logically speaking...
It was the Regent's turn to speak.
He'd noticed lately during court sessions that his uncle seemed a bit distracted. There must be some conflict between him and his aunt at home…
He clenched his small fist, placed it to his lips, and coughed softly: "My dear ministers, please stop for a moment and listen to what your royal uncle has to say."
Just as everyone's attention was focused on that distinguished man...
The man's thin lips moved slightly, and he replied with a soft hum, "Whoever wants to go can go."
Ministers: ? ? ?
Little Emperor: ? ? ?
Xiao Tang: ...
"Big Brother, this is slacking off! If you're not proactive, you'll get fired... Oh no, you are the boss now, the biggest boss in the entire Dasheng! I'm overthinking it."
Ultimately, without the regent's final decision and the young emperor's indecisiveness, the matter was left unresolved.
After the court session ended, no conclusion was reached in the discussion.
As Xiao Tang walked out of the main hall, she began to doubt herself.
Was I wasting my time attending court?
She pinched the bridge of her nose.
A cool breeze suddenly swept past my ear.
Just as I glanced to the side, I saw a dark-colored garment flash by.
Xiao Tang paused for a moment.
Seeing that Di Jingling completely ignored her and left, she quickly ran after him, feeling extremely frustrated.
"Your Highness, why have you been so cold to me lately?"
Whether the man intentionally slowed down or not, Xiao Tang didn't find it difficult to catch up.
When she caught up with him, her eyes were smiling and her face showed a hint of teasing.
Three whole days!
Every time he saw her in the palace, he would walk away indifferently and distantly. This deliberate avoidance was very likely to cause misunderstandings!
The man stopped in his tracks and suddenly turned around.
Xiao Tang was still speeding up to catch up with him when she never expected him to suddenly stop. Caught off guard, she bumped headfirst into his arms.
An arm suddenly appeared at her waist.
He held her waist and slowly asked, "What are you doing?"
Asking a question you already know the answer to.
"Regent...this isn't quite right," they said softly in his arms.
At this moment, some ministers who had not yet left followed and happened to witness this scene.
The ministers: (⊙o⊙)………?
Xiao Tang immediately pushed him away, putting her acting skills to the extreme, "Thank you for helping me, Your Highness. I just twisted my ankle."
Upon hearing this, the ministers who had been observing the situation realized it was a misunderstanding and dispersed like birds and beasts.
Xiao Tang gritted her teeth, "The Regent is being unfair. He ignored me before, so why is he willing to 'help' me up today?"
She emphasized the word "help" very much.
He pretended to help her up, but his real intention was to take the opportunity to touch her slender waist.
Di Jingling did not respond to her, nor did he answer her question. "If the Imperial Preceptor has nothing else, I will return to my residence."
