Chapter 379 The child has grown up and it is not easy to fool him anymore

After much thought, Xia Shuyi still couldn't make a decision.

The next day, she went to see Concubine Shu.

"Sister, tell me, are you..." Xia Shuyi thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and whispered into Shen Liuzheng's ear.

"Can you hear what Xiaojiu is thinking?"

Shen Liuzheng was surprised, then nodded: "Yes."

"When did it start?" Xia Shuyi continued to ask.

"On the day when Xiaojiu turned one month old." Shen Liuzheng replied.

She and the Empress were already good sisters who could talk about anything, and since the Empress asked, she would not hide it.

"It seems that what Miss Zhuang said is true." Xia Shuyi murmured to himself.

It turns out that the concubines in the harem could hear Xiaojiu's thoughts so early on.

"What did Miss Zhuang say?" Shen Liuzheng was a little curious.

Xia Shuyi then told Zhuang Yuming what he had told her.

"So that's how it is. Yu Lan told me that she could hear it too." Shen Liuzheng told Song Yu Lan what she had asked her before.

The two of them looked like a perfect match and realized that Zhuang Yuming's guess was probably true.

"Then tell me, should I tell the emperor about this?" Xia Shuyi became even more confused.

If she doesn't tell him, and the emperor finds out one day, he will probably punish her for deceiving the emperor.

If they did, wouldn’t all the concubines in the harem be doomed?

How could the emperor tolerate so many people who were like him and heard Xiaojiu's thoughts?

"I think we should just tell you." Shen Liuzheng expressed his suggestion.

"Now, the emperor will be angry for a while at most. If he finds out from Xiaojiu in the future, he will probably be even angrier. He may not punish others, but you are the queen. If you deceive the emperor, I am afraid he will be furious."

"Moreover, the person who has evil intentions towards Xiaojiu and cannot hear Xiaojiu's inner voice must be informed to the emperor, lest the emperor dote on that Ling Guipin too much and make her lose her sense of propriety and have some improper thoughts."'

"Sister, you are right. I will listen to you." Xia Shuyi held Shen Liuzheng's hand.

Shen Liuzheng held her hand back and gave her courage.

"Let's go to Yu's study." Xia Shuyi made the decision.

…

In the study.

Lu Yanshi was playing chess with Lu Li.

Since returning to the capital, Lu Li has become obsessed with playing Go.

"Oh, father, I made a wrong move just now. Please take it back and I'll play again." Lu Li said as he picked up Lu Yanshi's black chess piece and placed it in his palm.

Lu Yanshi: ...

He finally understood why the other children were reluctant to play chess with Xiaojiu.

Her level is really too poor.

His level is not good and his chess character is poor, almost like that of a Tai Shi.

Every time he couldn't beat others, he would regret his move and secretly hide the chess pieces.

No wonder the other kids would immediately make excuses saying they had to study or do homework every time they heard her say she wanted to play chess.

Xiaojiu is most afraid of studying and doing homework, so he won't go to them.

Lu Xuan was not interested in this. He went to the pond in the Yu Garden every day to open his clam shells and count the treasures.

Lu Li could only set his sights on his father.

"Okay, father, I'll do this." Lu Li clapped his hands, very confident in his move.

Lu Yanshi said helplessly: "Are you sure this is it? Are you going to regret it?"

"Okay, I will never regret it!" Lu Li nodded heavily.

Lu Yanshi raised his hand and placed a chess piece. Lu Li reacted and widened his eyes.

She was too embarrassed to regret her move, so she immediately pointed to the window nearby.

"Father, what is that?"

When Lu Yanshi turned his head to look, Lu Li secretly made a move and hid the chess piece he had just placed under his butt.

"What's that?" Lu Yanshi didn't see anything special. He turned around and found that his chess piece was missing. He couldn't help laughing out loud.

This silly child, does he think he can win like this?

"Father, it's my turn." Lu Li placed a chess piece with a guilty conscience.

Lu Yanshi didn't want to argue with her too much, so he just smiled and fed her the chess pieces, allowing her to win.

"Father, I won!" Lu Li jumped up happily.

Unexpectedly, the black chess piece stuck under my butt fell to the ground with a "pop" and rolled several times.

Lu Li's little face suddenly turned red.

She blushed and turned the tables: "Oh, father, what happened to this chess piece? It grew legs and ran to the ground."

Lu Yanshi held back his laughter and rubbed her head: "Father doesn't know either. But Father thinks Xiaojiu is amazing. Your chess level can be compared with that of the Grand Master."

"Really?" Lu Li was immediately fooled.

"Really. If you don't believe me, next time your father will ask the Grand Tutor to play chess with you. You two will be evenly matched, and the game will definitely be more interesting than playing with your father." Lu Yanshi said with a smile.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Li nodded in agreement immediately.

Cao Dehai's mouth twitched behind him.

When it comes to being a rogue, the Grand Tutor and the Ninth Princess are indeed evenly matched.

"Let's play another round now." Lu Li said excitedly.

Lu Yanshi's face turned dark. He had had enough of this torture and didn't want to play chess with Xiaojiu anymore.

Just then, savior arrived.

"Your Majesty, the Queen requests an audience."

Hearing the eunuch's message, Lu Yanshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Quick, please bring the Queen in."

Then he turned his head and looked at Lu Li: "Xiaojiu, your father and your mother have something to discuss. You should go to the Beast Park to play with Yuangungun."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Shuyi came in.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." She bowed to Lu Yanshi and then looked at Lu Li who was standing beside her.

"Xiaojiu, Concubine Xian sent some Yutang cakes to Weiyang Palace. Do you want to go back and try them?"

[What are my father and mother trying to say to each other? They want to chase me away.]

Lu Li's inner voice echoed, and Lu Yanshi and Xia Shuyi's faces became a little stiff.

The child has grown up and it’s hard to fool him anymore.

[It's okay, I have Guagua, I can hear everything they talk about. There's no point in asking me to leave.]

Thinking of this, Lu Li smiled obediently.

"Okay, I'll leave now."

After Lu Li left, Lu Yanshi asked, "The Queen is looking for me, is there something important?"

Xia Shuyi was immediately in a dilemma.

Just say it directly. What if Xiaojiu finds out?

Seeing her confused expression, Lu Yanshi picked up his pen and wrote down a sentence: But you don’t want Xiaojiu to know?

When Xia Shuyi saw this line of words, he was overjoyed.

Oh, yes, how could she forget that Xiaojiu doesn’t like to study and now knows very few words. She can write them down to communicate with the emperor.

It just so happened that she didn't dare to tell the emperor about this matter, so it was much more convenient to write it down.

So she picked up her pen and wrote down that all the concubines in the harem could hear Lu Li's thoughts.

The more Lu Yanshi looked, the tighter his brows wrinkled, until finally his face turned as black as charcoal.

What does it mean that as long as the concubines in the harem do not harbor ill will towards Xiaojiu, they can hear Xiaojiu's voice?

Then what is this son of destiny?

Isn't he the most special one?
