"Your Majesty, I need to go out and take care of some matters."
Hearing the commotion outside, Liu Yixin frowned, cupped his hands in greeting to the Emperor, and spoke.
Let's go together.
The emperor was the kind of person who would flock to any exciting place. Looking at the arrogant people shouting outside, the emperor raised an eyebrow. There was clearly going to be a good show, and how could he possibly miss such a spectacle?
The three gossipers, along with the three protectors, stayed close to the Emperor, determined to be at the forefront of gossip, and no one could stop them.
Little Swallow was originally going to stick close to Chen Nian, but the two great protectors pulled her away.
Previously, the two protectors and Ertai stopped going down. The three of them were of one mind and conspired to keep an eye on their beloved (the people they cared about). The three of them were inseparable all day long, and their positions were taken away.
Even if they can't express their feelings now, they shouldn't be denied any chance to spend time together!
"Scholar Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Upon seeing the arrogant man in front of him, Liu Yixin cautiously turned his head to look at the emperor following behind him.
The Emperor is here! Disturbing His Majesty's presence would cost more than a few heads.
That scholar Wang, of all times, had to come when the Emperor was present.
...
After watching Magistrate Liu finish reprimanding the scholar, the group went back inside and sat down. It was almost lunchtime, and Magistrate Liu had already gone to prepare food for them.
"Sir, shall we move the table a little further out? It's a bit cold inside, but it's warm outside in the sun."
Looking at the sun shining into the room, and thinking about his plans, Chen Nian came up with an idea and made a suggestion.
Little Swallow had already tried to dissuade him, but he went up to the roof to repair it.
"Okay, since Niannian has said so, let's move the table out a bit."
The Emperor naturally agreed.
Everyone else knew that Chen Nian was in poor health and couldn't stand the cold.
Since the Emperor had spoken, the attendants immediately stepped forward and moved the table outwards.
He pondered the spot where Xiao Yanzi fell in the drama, then looked at the table, which was now some distance away from where she fell in the original drama, nodded, and felt relieved.
But, before three seconds had even passed, he put it down.
"Ahhhh—"
"Little Swallow—!"
Hearing screams and the sound of breaking pieces, Chen Nian looked up and saw dust falling down. He took a step back.
Those sitting around the table, seeing the commotion above them, sensed something was wrong and quickly got up to leave. The Emperor, quick as a flash, even grabbed Fu Lun and pulled him away with him.
Chen Nian: ...Is this plot really that outrageous?
Before she could react, Little Swallow had already fallen, and in a very dramatic way, she landed right in front of the hot soup. Chen Nian didn't have time to think too much.
Just as the person was about to fall into the hot soup, seeing Xiao Yanzi waving her hand in the air, Chen Nian quickly reached out, grabbed Xiao Yanzi, and pulled her hard. The two of them fell to the ground and rolled several times.
"Hiss—, cough...cough cough..."
"Ah—, Niannian, Niannian, how are you?"
Hearing the cry of pain from the person beneath her, Xiao Yanzi disregarded the burning pain in her own buttocks and quickly got up from Chen Nian, asking him with concern.
"Nian Nian—!"
"Little Swallow—!"
"Meditation—!"
The group was stunned by what they saw, and only when they heard the two people's cries of pain did their bewildered minds snap back to reality.
