"Afraid?" Concubine Luo happened to hear her words and looked over with sharp eyes.
After scanning Little Shuangbao up and down, she said calmly, "In this world, only those with evil intentions would be afraid of me!"
"Shuangbao has no evil intentions!"
When little Shuangbao heard this, he immediately retorted in a baby voice.
And muttered softly, "It's you who has a ghost face and comes out to scare people..."
She said this in a low voice.
Only Emperor Chengxuan heard it.
This immediately made Emperor Chengxuan's heart skip a beat!
"What did you say?" Concubine Luo looked at Xiao Shuangbao with dissatisfaction.
Xiao Shuangbao quickly shut his mouth and hid behind Emperor Cheng Xuan.
"Your Majesty, is this the adopted daughter you adopted? How come she is so ignorant of the rules? She keeps hiding when she sees me?" Concubine Luo frowned and looked at Emperor Chengxuan.
"My Lady Concubine, Shuangbao is still young and she is acting like this because she is shy. It's not disrespectful to me, my Lady Concubine. Please don't take it personally." Emperor Chengxuan touched Shuangbao's little head which was still trying to shrink back and said with a smile.
He was also a little puzzled.
Shuangbao is very brave and is not even afraid of ghosts. How could he be afraid of Concubine Luo?
Moreover, she said that Concubine Luo had a ghostly face.
What does this mean?
However, I can only ask her about these things in detail after the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner is over today.
"Shuangbao, come here and meet Concubine Luo." At this time, Emperor Chengxuan took Shuangbao's little hand, held her in his arms, and asked her to pay her respects to Concubine Luo.
"Shuang, Shuangbao greets Concubine Luo." Little Shuangbao could only quickly glance at Concubine Luo, and after saying that, he quickly buried his little head in Emperor Chengxuan's arms again, with only his butt facing Concubine Luo.
Concubine Luo was obviously very dissatisfied with this.
But she didn't say anything else.
"Oh, my dear Shuangshuang, why are you kneeling on the ground? Why are you crying so hard that your face looks like a little cat? Do you want to make me die of heartache? Get up quickly, get up!"
It was only then that Concubine Luo saw Su Ruyi, and she hurried forward with concern, trying to pull her up.
She still called Su Ruyi by her previous name, Su Shuangshuang.
Emperor Chengxuan couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Su Shuangshuang had already changed her name to Su Ruyi, and everyone in the palace knew it.
It’s hard to say whether Concubine Luo called the wrong name on purpose.
However, Concubine Luo had done him a favor before, and Emperor Chengxuan would not be so petty as to hold grudge against her for such a small mistake.
"Your Highness, Shuangshuang is now calling Ruyi. Ruyi doesn't dare to get up. Father...the emperor didn't let Ruyi get up." Su Ruyi imitated Shuangbao's appearance and said pitifully.
"Your Majesty, what's going on? What did Shuangshuang do wrong that not only does she have to change her name, but she also has to kneel here as punishment?"
Concubine Luo immediately frowned and looked at Emperor Chengxuan with dissatisfaction.
Emperor Cheng Xuan also frowned.
"My Lady Concubine, her name is now Su Ruyi." He was too lazy to explain so much and just conveyed the result directly.
"Your Majesty..." Concubine Luo wanted to ask more.
"Mrs. Dowager, Ruyi likes the current name."
Su Ruyi acted very sensible. "As for the emperor's punishment of kneeling, that was Ruyi's fault. Ruyi did something that made Sister Shuangbao... no, Princess Lingfu unhappy. That's why I was punished to kneel."
She understands the essence of complaining very well.
With just a few simple sentences, he successfully put the lead of the conflict on Xiao Shuangbao.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Shuangbao hasn't said a word the whole time! I can't stand you taking Shuangbao's place, and you even slapped a palace maid for it! You're so cruel at such a young age, so I'm punishing you by making you kneel here!"
When he saw that Xiao Shuangbao might be splashed with dirty water, Emperor Cheng Xuan, no matter how impatient he was, immediately explained everything clearly.
Su Ruyi looked at Emperor Chengxuan's inconsistent attitude and felt hatred and jealousy in her heart.
"Yes, it's all Ruyi's fault. This has nothing to do with Princess Lingfu." She said unwillingly, gritting her teeth.
"I'm glad you know!" Emperor Cheng Xuan glanced at her.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame me for being so talkative. Although Shuangshuang and Ruyi were taken away by mistake, and she wasn't the War God's daughter, but this Shuangbao is, after all, a child you loved. She treated you like her father from the bottom of her heart. Why are you so heartless now?"
Concubine Luo tried to persuade her earnestly, "Besides, the previous incident of the wrong baby was all because of Concubine Su's confusion and she got the wrong person. What does it have to do with Ruyi?
"Ruyi is innocent.
"You can't blame the mistakes of adults on children and take it out on them, right?"
Emperor Chengxuan is such an adult, but he still has to be lectured by Concubine Luo like a child.
But he wasn't angry about it at all.
Even though he didn't agree with what Concubine Luo said, he still didn't refuse her.
"Since Concubine Luo has pleaded for you, I will not pursue today's matter. Get up!"
Emperor Cheng Xuan spoke quickly.
"Ruyi thanks the emperor very much!" Su Ruyi pretended to be happy and kowtowed to express her gratitude.
"Why call me Your Majesty? It's so strange. You were once a little princess who was held in the emperor's arms and spoiled! You should call me father, okay?" Concubine Luo continued.
"But, Your Majesty, the Emperor..." Su Ruyi looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan cautiously and did not dare to say anything.
"Your Majesty, do you really think what I just said makes sense?" Concubine Luo also looked at Emperor Chengxuan.
Emperor Cheng Xuan understood what she meant.
But thinking of the kindness that Concubine Luo had shown him when he was young, no matter how reluctant he was, he still nodded reluctantly.
