Chapter 399: It's really a worry

Yan Qingshan slowly lifted the quilt.

There were still traces of tears on Tuanzi's little face, and the aggrieved look had not faded away. She fell asleep with her hands on her knees and her head resting on her legs.

Yan Qingshan helplessly held up his daughter's head, put her back on the pillow, and whispered, "She will definitely be hungry at night, leave some snacks for her."

Chunhua responded quickly: "Yes."

Yan Qingshan tucked the quilt in for her and turned to leave. Chunhua and the other man carefully closed the curtain for her and left.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Mingpei was busy until 21:00 before he was ready to go to bed, and asked, "What did that little rascal do today?"

Fang Wuyou laughed secretly.

He was a little darling yesterday, but he has become a little bad boy today. The emperor is waiting for someone to come and get angry!

He had to smile and said, "Your Highness went to the Prime Minister's Residence today. After returning to the palace at 5 p.m., he has been in Chengqian Palace since then."

Emperor Mingpei snorted, "You didn't even come to see me when you came back to the palace at noon! What a little liar!!"

Fang Wuyou laughed anxiously and said, "Come to think of it, today the little prince encountered a small incident..."

He raised his head slightly, and seeing that Emperor Mingpei was obviously happy to hear what he meant, he quickly continued, "Today, the Crown Prince and his family came out of the Prime Minister's Residence, and walked around the streets hiding their identities. As a result, they encountered a few children playing around, and they had an argument with the little prince..."

As the chief steward in front of the emperor, one must have such ability. He must know who the emperor cares about and what they do throughout the day. Whenever the emperor asks, he can get real-time reports.

Fang Wuyou described the situation vividly, as if he was watching right beside him at that moment.

Emperor Mingpei laughed loudly and said, "I will ask Prime Minister Yuan tomorrow. Don't bully young people..."

As he spoke, he burst out laughing: "Did he teach you that?"

Fang Wuyou also laughed, and continued, "I heard that the little prince woke up from his nap and chased everyone out. He stayed in the room for a long time and came out with a wronged look on his face. He only ate half a bowl of rice in the evening and refused to eat. The prince and the queen tried to persuade him but he still refused to eat. He cried and fell asleep!"

"What?" Emperor Mingpei stopped laughing immediately: "How old is the child? You want her to go to bed hungry?"

He scolded him: "You old rascal! Still laughing!! Is this something funny?"

Fang Caiyou quickly stopped laughing and knelt on the ground: "I am stupid! I don't know the seriousness of the matter!"

Emperor Mingpei said unhappily: "What about now?"

Fang Wuyou said with a bitter face: "The young prince has fallen asleep."

Emperor Mingpei said angrily, "Really... How can you raise a child like this? I have to go there! He's already several dozen years old! He doesn't even know this!!"

Fang Wuyou: "..."

Seeing the emperor stand up and leave angrily, Fang Wuyou could only hurriedly get up and follow him.

It was late at night, everyone was asleep, and the doors of Chengqian Palace were closed. The emperor suddenly came over, scaring everyone.

Emperor Mingpei went straight to the back hall, and when he went in, he saw Tuanzi lying on his side, curled up like a little cicada monkey, with his little fleshy face squeezed flat, his little mouth slightly open, and he was sleeping soundly.

Emperor Mingpeidi touched her little face with the lantern. She was smacking her lips, and no one knew what delicious food she was dreaming about.

Emperor Mingpei waited for a while, and when he saw that she was still asleep, he came out and gave a series of orders in a low voice: "Set up a small kitchen here tomorrow and transfer a few imperial chefs. Which child doesn't eat seven or eight meals a day, with snacks, soup and noodles all the time? They are still growing, how can they go hungry? And you! Are you all just eating for free? The master took you out, and you still let the master suffer a loss? A large group of people, but you can't even win a verbal fight, what's the use of you!! "

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground.

Fang Wuyou repeatedly advised: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Yan Qingshan and several others hurried over and saluted.

Emperor Mingpei scolded him again: "How can you raise a girl the same way as raising a boy? Xinbao is only a little older, and she was sick for so long when she was a child. She doesn't eat and you don't know how to comfort her. You just let her sleep like this? What if she gets hungry!"

Yan Qingshan could only say: "My son is negligent and has caused my father to worry."

Emperor Mingpei put his hands behind his back, walked back and forth, and said, "Tell me what we should do now?"

Madam Lin asked tentatively, "Father, how about... your daughter-in-law stay here to watch over her? Ask someone to feed her when she wakes up?"

Emperor Mingpei nodded: "That's fine. When you wake up tomorrow morning, have someone bring him over so I can look after him!"

He looked at the two of them with disappointment and said, "Ah!" and went in again.

Fang Wuyou couldn't help but click his tongue again.

He discovered that this family was not afraid of Emperor Mingpei.

It's not the kind of feeling where you have to be fearful and timid in front of the king, or try your best to please him by looking at his expression. Instead, it's just like being in front of your own father, respecting him without losing touch with him.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Emperor Mingpei went in to take another look.

Tuanzi was still sleeping in a heap, drooling a little, and had soaked a little bit of the pillow.

Emperor Mingpei felt both distressed and amused, and whispered to Yan Qingshan: "Look at him for yourself! Is he pitiful? This is the first time I know that a royal child can be so hungry!"

Yan Qingshan still said: "Father is right, it is my fault."

Emperor Mingpeidi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of Tuanzi's mouth. Tuanzi smacked his lips again, and then...bit his finger.

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

Everyone: “…”

More than one person switched to vibrate mode, trying desperately to hold back laughter, their bodies shaking slightly.

Emperor Mingpei couldn't help but laugh.

He pulled his hand away, but it didn't hurt as he put a handkerchief under it. Emperor Mingpei paused for a moment, then pulled it away with a little more force. Then he saw Tuanzi twitching his nose, two tears rolled down, and then he started to cry loudly.

She cried herself awake, and when she opened her eyes dazedly, she saw Emperor Mingpeidi, and immediately felt very aggrieved, and threw herself into his arms: "Yeah, brother Liang took away Xinbao's flesh, Xinbao is so hungry, Xinbao is so hungry..."

Emperor Mingpei patted her back to comfort her, while the clever eunuch had already run out to get food.

Xinbao cried in a daze for a while, and finally cried himself awake and refreshed. When he looked up... he saw a large group of people standing silently behind the lantern. He was so scared that his little hands and feet fluttered violently: "Ahhhhh!!"

By the time Tuanzi finished a small bowl of chicken noodle soup and lay down again, half an hour had passed.

After seeing Emperor Mingpei off, Yan Qingshan said, "Everyone go to bed. We have things to do tomorrow."

At this time, outside.

Watching the lanterns fade into the distance, a young eunuch quietly came out and ran to the back like the wind.

Beiwusuo, commonly known as the Prince's Residence in the palace, is separated from Chengqiansuo by a palace, but it is quiet at night and any noise can still be heard.

The young eunuch quickly entered the study and reported in a low voice: "It seems to be in the back hall. I can't hear what is said inside, but I heard that the emperor seemed a little angry, and Fang Zongguan's voice kept saying "Your Majesty, calm down." I also heard that when the emperor was about to leave, he said "You are really worrying!"
