Chapter 534 White Lies

Xinbao returned to the palace and went directly to the Qianqing Palace.

It was not even lunch time yet, which was just right, but when she arrived, Fang Wuyou awkwardly handed her a piece of paper and said to her, "Your Highness, the Emperor told you to copy this sentence three hundred times."

Tuanzi's pupils trembled on the spot: "......!!"

She took it and looked at it. It said: "Xinbao will never leave the palace without permission again."

Tuanzi: “…”

She pulled Fang Wuyou's sleeve, and Fang Wuyou quickly smiled and bent down. Tuanzi whispered, "How did Yeye know?"

Fang Wuyou also replied quietly: "As soon as the young prince went out, the Longxiong Guards reported it."

Tuanzi continued: "Is Yeye angry?"

"No," Fang Wuyou said with a smile, "The emperor just asked where the little prince was going, who was following him, how many people he brought... and then wrote this piece of paper and gave it to this old servant."

"Oh!" Tuanzi said, "Does Yeye's expression show that it doesn't matter whether he copies or not?"

Fang Wuyou: “……???”

He said silently: "In my opinion, the emperor's expression should mean that if you don't copy it, you will be beaten... ahem, ahem."

Tuanzi's eyes widened.

Fang Wuyou persuaded awkwardly: "Your Highness, you begged the Emperor, but the Emperor is not forbidding you to go. If you... leave the palace without permission, the Emperor will be worried."

Tuanzi wondered, "But isn't Xinbao a princess? Is Xinbao just a puppet princess who can't make her own decisions?"

Fang Wuyou almost laughed out loud. He smiled and said, "Little Prince, mainly because Little Prince... is still a little young."

Tuanzi sighed: "Okay then!"

She glanced at the clepsydra and began to copy the time slowly.

Copy, copy, copy...

It wasn’t until lunch time that Mingpeidi came over, and Xinbao wanted to put down his pen: “Yeah yeah!”

"Hmm." Emperor Mingpei said, "Have you copied enough?"

Xinbao said, "That should be enough, right?" and put down the pen.

Mingpeidi came over, walked to the table with his hands behind his back, counted with his hands, and counted slowly: "One, two, three, four..." He had just counted a few when he felt Tuanzi carefully walk around him, reach out to touch the paper in front, and put it behind him as if to cover up his mistake.

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He took the pen and started writing on the paper: "One five, ten, fifteen..."

Tuanzi: “…”

She silently twirled her little fingers and looked at him eagerly: "Yeah, isn't Xinbao your favorite little princess?"

"Yes," Emperor Mingpei said, "It's because Yeye loves Xinbao the most, so Yeye misses Xinbao so much when he doesn't see her for a while, and he gets so worried when he learns that Xinbao left the palace without permission, so he loves her so much and blames her so much that he asked Xinbao to copy the book."

Xinbao: “…”

Tuanzi was stunned.

Yeye is really good at picking up jokes... She can pick up all kinds of jokes smoothly, and her little tricks are not enough!!

She could only continue copying books dejectedly, saying, "Yeah, yeah, Xinbao thought that Xinbao could make the decision on her own for such a small matter."

Emperor Mingpei twitched his lips and suppressed his laughter: "You think you are wrong."

"But Yeye never told me that before! Xinbao doesn't know."

"Right!" Emperor Mingpei said, "So Yeye only punished Xinbao to copy it 300 times. If Xinbao knowingly violated the rules, he would have to copy it 3,000 times."

Xinbao: “…”

She was stunned again.

Why can Ye Ye always accurately predict what she is going to say!!

Tuanzi said depressedly: "Yeah, you are too smart, you are not easy to fool at all."

"Well," Emperor Mingpei said, "If I am easy to deceive, will Xinbao deceive me?"

Tuanzi thought about it seriously: "Is a white lie considered cheating?"

Emperor Mingpei raised his eyebrows: "What is a white lie? Xinbao, can you give me an example?"

Tuanzi thought for a while and said, "But Xinbao has never told Yeye a white lie, because Yeye is so handsome, so smart, and can write and shoot arrows. Everything is so perfect. Xinbao has so many compliments to give him that there is no chance for him to tell a white lie."

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He couldn't hold back the smile on his face and coughed, "Okay, it's almost time to eat, let's just copy these for now!"

Tuanzi said "yeah" and put down the pen.

Emperor Mingpei said: "You are not allowed to leave the palace without permission from now on. Remember?"

"I remember!" Tuanzi said, "But if Yeye is busy and Xinbao wants to leave the palace, what should I do? Can I ask Daddy, Mommy or someone else?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"No," Emperor Mingpei glanced at her, "If Yeye is busy and Xinbao has something else to do and has to leave the palace, come find Fang Wuyou and talk to Yeye."

He emphasized: "In short, Xinbao's affairs must be approved by Ye Ye."

Tuanzi nodded: "Okay then!!"

Then the matter was over, and Emperor Mingpei turned into a loving and caring person again, holding Tuanzi in his arms: "Wash your hands and eat."

The two washed their hands and had lunch together.

Now Xinbao doesn't take a nap. After lunch, Emperor Mingpei goes to do something, and she strolls back to Chengqian Palace.

As a result, when she arrived at Chengqian Palace, she saw more than ten or twenty pots of flowers in the courtyard. Fourth Brother was standing there. When he saw her come back, he smiled and said, "Xinbao, come and take a look!"

You can tell without even looking that the San Sheng Stone is shining brightly.

Xinbao was also very excited and ran over to try each pot after another.

After just one try, I got seven or eight pots. Now the effect of prosperous luck is really obvious. I can gain so much just by sitting back and waiting.

Madam Lin also came out to look and asked, "Is this from the Xiayitang?"

"No," the fourth brother said with a smile, "This is someone we met in Longmen County. Mother, guess who it is?"

Madam Lin asked, "Someone you know?"

Xinbao said, "I know, I know! Is it Uncle Lin?"

"It's true!" The fourth brother laughed and said, "It's him."

He went out in the morning and met several imperial merchants. One of them, named Lin Shouzhe, tentatively mentioned Lin Qiuren. The two chatted for a while, and then Lin Shouzhe invited him, and he accepted and had lunch with them at noon.

This was the first time he accepted an invitation from an imperial merchant, mainly because he felt that Lin Qiuren was a good person. They had received a favor from him in the past, and they were old acquaintances, so he was not like other people.

Lin Qiuren never expected this.

Just think about it, he wanted to adopt him as his son...but turned out he was the emperor's grandson!

I am really scared and I really regret it.

If you had known earlier, you would have been rich now, even if you had been friends regardless of age difference. But no matter what you think in your heart, you are very respectful on the surface. Of course, Yan Shisheng will not put on airs with them. Anyway, he has the most resources now. It doesn't matter who you give them. What's wrong with giving them?

So the two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

And Lin Qiuren was also capable of doing things. He didn't present the flowers until everyone had finished chatting.

It must have taken a lot of effort to collect this, but he appeared calm and only said that he knew the little princess back then and kept it for his enjoyment.

Fourth brother accepted it.
