Chapter 144: Saving the Blackened Tyrant 7
Xingjian has always been an unruly person in the Queen's palace. He took off his outer robe and stuffed it into the hands of the palace maid at the door, and then sneaked to the Queen's side like a kitten.
"Do you miss your aunt?" Xingjian raised his face with a smiling look. Because of the matter of selecting a study partner, Xingjian had not entered the palace for a month. Although the queen was extremely dissatisfied with the prince Xingjian chose in the end, she did not pursue the matter further seeing Xingjian's happy look.
The Queen reached out and tapped Xing Jian's forehead with her cardamom-stained finger: "You, you insist on choosing the Fifth Prince. How can a prince with Hu blood like that be a study companion?"
But then he changed his mind and thought that if Xingjian went to accompany the prince in his studies, the prince might have to endure the anger of Concubine Ying, so his dissatisfaction dissipated.
The current Crown Prince of the Dalan Dynasty was born to Concubine Ying, whose mother was not of good origin. Empress Cui Yanran had only two princesses and one daughter. Because her body was damaged during childbirth, she had no other children. This prince's companion, the Crown Prince's companion, and the eldest prince's companion were all very popular candidates, and the eldest prince's mother was extremely favored by the Emperor.
Seeing Xing Jian reaching out to hook the plum blossom pastry on the table in an unruly manner, he sighed.
"Eat more. The fifth prince has never been favored. If you go there, you will suffer in the future." The queen looked at Xing Jian with a bit of pity in her eyes, but soon she seemed to think of something and frowned again.
Seeing the queen's expression change, Xing Jian didn't care about the plum blossom pastry in his hand and swallowed it whole. "Aunt, don't worry, I won't let anyone bully me."
Hearing Xing Jian's words, the Queen couldn't help but poke the corner of Xing Jian's mouth, which was stained with pastry crumbs, with her fingertips. "Still trying to be stubborn. Wasn't that old eunuch at the palace gate today just being ordered to make things difficult for you?"
Xing Jian rested his head on the Queen's lap and rubbed it. "That old eunuch wanted to use a young eunuch to deceive me, but I sent him away in a few moves. He didn't even think about who I am and how he could use me to trick me."
Hearing Xing Jian's words, the Queen raised her eyebrows. Of course, the Queen had already known about the incident at the palace gate at noon and was very angry. However, the person behind the old eunuch was not so easy to find. She thought it was just Concubine Ying or Concubine Shu.
Poor Jian'er encountered such a dirty thing as soon as he entered the palace. Before the two of them could say a few more words, the voice of the eunuch outside the door was heard.
"The Emperor has arrived~"
Hearing the message, Xingjian jumped up. Although he could act without any rules in front of his aunt, he was still a little restrained in front of the emperor.
As soon as the eunuch's sharp voice fell, Xing Jian saw a man in a bright yellow robe walk in and hurriedly kneel on the ground to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty, may you be well and safe. I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."
Seeing Xing Jian kneeling on the ground with an obedient look on his face, the emperor's hearty laughter rang out in the hall, "Hurry up and get up! How can you be so polite when meeting your uncle?"
Looking at the emperor who called himself "uncle", Xing Jian did not dare to respond, after all, this was the current emperor.
The Queen was a little uncomfortable with Xingjian's sudden obedience. She noticed the restraint in Xingjian's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please stop teasing our Jian'er. Jian'er has just entered the palace and has been studying all day. Let him go back and rest first."
Listening to the Queen's words, the Emperor smiled and waved towards Xing Jian, "Okay, okay, go out and have fun. If you need anything, tell your aunt. Don't let yourself suffer."
Xingjian knelt down again to express his gratitude, then stood up and ran out of the palace like a kitten.
As soon as she came out of Fengyi Palace, she was stopped by Lan Xin, who personally escorted her to the sedan chair.
As soon as Xing Jian left Fengyi Palace, the palace returned to its former tranquility.
The emperor lazily leaned on the small couch, looked at the tea the queen brought him, and joked, "Everyone says your nephew is a little bully, but today I see that he is nothing more than a paper tiger."
After handing the Longjing green tea to the emperor and placing the Star Sword on the sedan chair, Lan Xin returned and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress, the young master has been taken back to the palace in the sedan chair."
Seeing the emperor nodded, the queen signaled Lan Xin to leave. After receiving the order, Lan Xin walked out of the palace with several young eunuchs at the door.
Seeing that the palace was clear of those outsiders, the Queen finally spoke, "Your Majesty just said Jian'er was a paper tiger, but you didn't know that when he first entered the palace, Jian'er was caught by that old eunuch at the palace gate. He was frightened and looked so depressed."
Hearing the queen say this, the emperor frowned. He didn't know that such an incident had happened at the palace gate today, but the queen did not continue to pursue the matter, which made the emperor look at her with admiration.
Thinking of the eunuch who deliberately made things difficult for people, the emperor felt a little annoyed. After leaving Fengyi Palace, he ordered people to investigate the matter. The result he got was exactly the same as what the queen and he had said, and he immediately became furious.
Before dusk, Xing Jian heard in Xiao Jiyun's palace that Concubine Ying had been stripped of her power to assist in managing the six palaces.
However, Xing Jian was not thinking about this matter at the moment. He was busy feeding Xiao Jiyun medicine.
Because he had not been raised by his biological mother since childhood, Xiao Jiyun's body was weaker than most people of the same age. Whenever the weather changed, he would easily catch a cold, and it was common for him to take medicine all year round.
"Your Highness, it's time to take your medicine." The palace servant came in carrying the bowl of boiling hot medicine. Seeing the bowl of pitch-black medicine, Xiao Jiyun's expression did not change, but Xing Jian frowned.
Xing Jian naturally knew that Xiao Jiyun had been weak since childhood. He stood up, took the bowl of medicine and held it in front of Xiao Jiyun.
The jade-like little face looked at Xiao Jiyun seriously, "Drink the medicine quickly, and then we will go see the plum blossoms."
Xing Jian looked at the bowl of medicine he had brought. It was pitch black and didn't smell very good, but Xiao Jiyun reached out and drank the whole bowl of medicine. The palace maid standing beside Xiao Jiyun suddenly said, "Your Highness..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Jiyun, "Cuiyun, go get me my red fox fur coat."
After the red fox robe was brought, Xiao Jiyun squatted down and tied the belt for Xingjian, then took out a hat with a circle of white fur and put it on Xingjian's head. The furry brim of the hat covered the boy's handsome eyebrows, leaving only the pink tip of his nose exposed. Seeing that Xingjian was fully dressed, he was satisfied and let him out of the hall.
"Xiao Xing, wait for me outside the hall for a while. I'm going to get something." Xiao Jiyun whispered in Xing Jian's ear, then stood up and walked back into the house. Looking at Xing Jian, who looked as cute as a New Year doll sitting at the door, Xiao Jiyun's pace quickened.
