Chapter 4: Xie family, there is a big news!
Lu Heng was taken to see Lu Li.
The nurse at the side said softly, "The Ninth Princess is resting."
Lu Heng nodded, stepped forward, and couldn't help but poke Lu Li's face with his hand.
Lu Li, who was smacking her lips and dreaming, was woken up. When she saw Lu Heng's face, she immediately became angry.
[Why is this stupid brother here again? 】
Lu Heng: ...
It seems like he has been scolded as stupid by his sister several times?
Wuuuuu, wuuuu, no, he can't go on like this.
His sister will look down on him in the future, and he doesn't want to be called "stupid brother" all his life.
Lu Heng ran out with his fists clenched in shame and anger.
The palace servants who were watching were shocked. What happened to the Third Prince out of nowhere?
Although he woke up the Ninth Princess, no one scolded him, so why did he run away crying?
When Xia Shuyi heard about this, she hurriedly had Lu Heng arrested and brought to her.
"Third Prince, what's wrong with you? What wronged you?"
Hearing Xia Shuyi's gentle voice, Lu Heng cried even harder.
Xia Shuyi was extremely anxious, wondering what had happened to this child.
"Are you my biological mother?" Lu Heng's face was red from tears, and he finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"Yes." Xia Shuyi admitted without hesitation.
Ever since the Imperial Concubine took Lu Heng to be raised by her, she ordered the harem not to mention his true background.
Previously, someone accidentally whispered something about his background into his ear, and was beaten to death by the Imperial Concubine.
For Lu Heng's sake, Xia Shuyi did not dare to acknowledge him, fearing that he would be disliked by the imperial concubine.
But now, she learned from her daughter that her son would not live long, and she was unwilling to endure it any longer.
"Wuwuwuwu, mother, am I really stupid? I can't even recognize you." He threw himself into Xia Shuyi's arms.
"Not stupid, not stupid, our Heng'er is the smartest." Xia Shuyi's eyes were sore, and she stroked his head to comfort him.
[You are not stupid. You think that if someone keeps an eye on you and doesn't urge you to study, it is good for you. ]
[Do you know that this is called overpraising? They just want to turn you into a piece of trash.]
[Look at what people ask of their own sons. They want them to master both civil and military tactics. That is what is truly good for their sons.]
Lu Li's inner voice echoed at the perfect moment.
The mother and son, who were hugging and crying, were frozen.
"Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess has woken up and is making a fuss to come and see you." The nurse brought Lu Li over.
Lu Heng didn't know how to face this smart sister for a moment. His face flushed, he stood up and bowed: "Madam Concubine, I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you and my sister when I'm free."
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
It's just studying, how difficult can it be? Can't he just study hard? He must work hard and study hard, and he is determined not to be a fool despised by his sister.
Lu Li didn't know yet that her little voice changed Lu Heng's fate.
She just thought being a baby was boring.
Every day I either eat and sleep, or sleep and eat.
That's why he was making a fuss about coming to his mother to have fun, but he didn't expect that before he could have fun, his stupid brother ran away.
【Ah, this is really boring. 】
Lu Li smacked his lips and complained in his heart.
I didn't expect that just after I finished complaining, I heard a sound in my mind - beep! Your melon-eating system is online.
【Melon-eating system? 】
Lu Li suddenly became interested.
She remembered that Tiandao had promised her that he would arrange a gossip-eating system for her so that she could read all the gossip in the world without leaving her home.
Eat melon bucket?
What is this?
Xia Shuyi listened to her daughter's thoughts and tried to figure them out.
Does my daughter like to eat melons?
I just don’t know whether I like to eat winter melon, pumpkin or watermelon.
Could it be that it was a melon that they had never seen before, one that looked like a long, thin bucket?
Xia Shuyi felt confused.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Outside the palace gate came the voice of a palace maid's message. Xia Shuyi hurriedly put away the messy thoughts in his mind and straightened his posture to greet the emperor.
They are her breadwinners and butter, and the greatest guarantee for her survival in the harem. She must not offend them.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"No need to bow, my beloved. Didn't I tell you that you don't need to bow this month?" Lu Yanshi personally reached out to support her.
"Your Majesty is merciful, but I dare not break the rules." Xia Shuyi responded with her head lowered.
"You don't even listen to what I say?" Lu Yanshi's tone seemed a little angry.
"How dare I disobey the emperor's words? I will follow the emperor's instructions." Xia Shuyi raised her eyes and smiled at him.
When the beauty smiled, Lu Yanshi was not so angry anymore.
"This is just one time, and it won't be used as an exception. If I say no need to salute, then no need to salute."
[Oh my dear mother, how can you be so honest. If my father can exempt me from the formalities every day when I grow up, I will be very happy. ]
[Performing that ceremony is so strenuous. ]
[Alas, why think so much? It's a question whether I can live to grow up. My mother died young, and my father couldn't keep the throne. Oh, my life is so miserable! ]
Xia Shuyi was terrified when he heard this.
My daughter, you keep chattering all day long. Can't you take a break?
If your father heard it, you wouldn't even be able to live to see tomorrow, let alone grow up.
Lu Yanshi said nothing and subconsciously clenched his fists.
He is so wise and brave, how come he can't keep the throne!
who?
Who on earth is coveting his Da Xia!
"The Royal Concubine has arrived."
A voice interrupted Lu Li's thoughts.
【Hey, the bad woman is here again. 】
[That's great, let's see what kind of melons she has to eat. ]
Lu Yanshi:?
He had waited for so long, just wanting to hear Lu Li talk about how he couldn't keep the throne.
As a result, Xie Ruizhu came and interrupted the conversation, leading Lu Li astray.
Lu Yanshi was in a bad mood and his face looked particularly ugly.
But Xie Ruizhu didn't realize that she had been blinded by anger.
What did she just hear?
She actually heard that the emperor exempted Xia Shuyi from the formalities. What a great honor it was. In addition to the two visits a day before, there was also the matter of changing the palace.
Xie Ruizhu collapsed.
How could Xia Shuyi be more favored than her!
"Your Majesty, please stay away from Xia Shuyi." She stretched out her hand and pulled Lu Yanshi to her side.
Xia Shuyi:?
Lu Yanshi:?
Xie Ruizhu said angrily, "Your Majesty, this Xia Shuyi is an evil creature. Today, I came to visit her and the little princess with good intentions, but she actually attracted the thunderbolt to harm me. Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by her."
[Nonsense, if that thunder had struck you, you would have been reduced to ashes. How could you still stand here and frame my mother?]
When Lu Li heard her confusing right and wrong, she was furious.
She used the spiritual power in her mind to poke at the system.
Soon I found some gossip about Xie Ruizhu.
[Oh wow, the noble concubine is really a treasure girl. The Xie family has a big melon! ]
