Chapter 77 The Little Tyrant's Fist Hardens
That made sense, and after hearing that, the group didn't ask any more questions.
Although Xie Yunqi is mischievous, he is not an unreasonable person. Although he is rebellious, as long as you don't provoke him, his rebellious nature will not be stirred.
Moreover, if the concubines wanted to practice dancing on their own, he had no reason to stop them.
It wouldn't be appropriate to stand by and watch someone jump.
So Little Tyrant, understanding the situation, asked, "Oh, in that case, how long will it take?"
“A dance between two people requires practice; I estimate it will take at least until noon,” the Mongol official said with difficulty.
She was afraid that her little tyrant would get angry if he heard it would take so long.
Xie Yunqi was indeed speechless. He came early in the morning, only to be told that someone was practicing dancing and he couldn't watch, and that he would have to wait all morning.
Most importantly, he didn't come alone; he brought his sister with him!
It's like you excitedly take a friend to see something really fun, and you keep talking about how amazing it is the whole way there, only to find out when you get there that the person can't see it.
Little Tyrant felt very embarrassed.
The Little Tyrant has hardened its fist.
Sheng Sheng quickly grabbed him and said to the palace maid, "It's alright. Sheng Sheng hasn't explored this side of the palace yet. Brother, would you take Sheng Sheng for a walk around here?"
The little dumpling tugged at him sweetly and coaxed him, and Xie Yunqi immediately calmed down: "Okay."
The female official looked at her gratefully. If it weren't for Ruan's intervention, the female official would have been afraid that the Fifth Prince would lose his temper.
As a mere female official, she couldn't afford to offend a prince.
The lady-in-waiting hurriedly said, "If Your Highness and the Princess are not in a hurry, why don't you go up to the Changyin Pavilion and listen to some music to pass the time? After I have discussed things with the two ladies, I can accompany you..."
Before the lady-in-waiting could finish speaking, Xie Yunqi, who understood her meaning, impatiently interrupted her.
"Go away, go away, I'm with my sister, what are you getting involved for? Don't get involved."
Yes, yes, yes.
When the young master was about to leave, the female official breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Yunqi got up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that he had a younger sister behind him.
Xie Yunqi slapped his forehead, suppressing a laugh as he looked at the little girl's short legs, which were halfway off the ground: "Oh, I almost forgot, my little sister is still too small to get down."
She was puffed up with anger. She had originally planned to have Zijuan carry her down, but when she heard Xie Yunqi laughing at her, she refused to be carried by Zijuan and started to jump down herself, wanting to prove herself.
"Don't say 'Sheng Sheng,' Sheng Sheng is still growing taller!"
"Okay, okay."
Xie Yunqi watched her wriggle for a while with a smile, but still worried that she might get hurt if she jumped down on her own, so he reached out and picked her up.
You know what, Xie Yunqi is only eight years old, but he's quite strong.
Having wasted so much time, the two hadn't even left Changyin Pavilion when they ran into a woman in a pink palace dress, followed by seven or eight palace maids and eunuchs who came in in a grand procession.
The palace maids and eunuchs were carrying various things in their hands.
This display of force was fortunately no match for Xie Yunqi's.
The female official immediately sensed something was wrong.
The Fifth Prince and the Second Princess hadn't even left when Consort Yue arrived. Knowing Consort Yue's temperament, she's sure to blame her.
Since they had already collided, the two couldn't just walk away, so they had to stop.
Consort Yue hadn't noticed that there were other people in Changyin Pavilion at first, and was instructing a group of palace maids and eunuchs to put the things they had brought in various places.
"You, put that chair we brought from the palace over there. My sister Consort Jing and I will need to sit when we're tired. You two, go and put this screen around the room, otherwise how can I jump around in the cold wind? And you, go and brew some tea. Consort Jing will be arriving soon; she needs hot tea as soon as she gets here..."
The palace maids and eunuchs scattered and performed their duties, setting up the place according to Consort Yue's instructions.
As Sheng Sheng and her group stood amidst the hustle and bustle, a strange thought inexplicably arose in their minds: were they perhaps blocking the way for others to get things done?
After the palace maids and eunuchs had arranged everything, Consort Yue clapped her hands with a hint of satisfaction and walked toward the Meng female official who had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as the female official opened her mouth, Consort Yue saw the group of people beside her.
Consort Yue paused, and the slight smile on her face instantly turned into displeasure.
Consort Yue quickly realized their identities. She glared at the female official Meng with displeasure, then smiled again and walked over: "Isn't this the Fifth Prince and the Second Princess? Why are you at Changyin Pavilion so early in the morning?"
"Your Highness, Consort Yue."
The two exchanged a simple greeting. Xie Yunqi was just being mischievous; he wasn't stupid. He could even sense the displeasure in Consort Yue's changing expression.
But they didn't know beforehand what she was dissatisfied with.
They now realize that this is because they were about to leave, making room for them.
Xie Yunqi was somewhat displeased and didn't answer her question, only saying, "Is Consort Yue going to practice dancing? We'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Xie Yunqi took Shengsheng's hand and started to leave.
Consort Yue gave a soft snort; she disliked the Fifth Prince intensely.
Unruly and impolite. What mischievous and naughty? He's just a spoiled brat with a slightly higher social status.
Consort Yue hummed softly. After all, they were princes and princesses, and she was a concubine, so she could be considered their elder. But as a concubine of moderate status, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Moreover, this second princess is currently favored by the emperor, who was so furious about her that even the heir of the Prince of Yong was sent to the south. She dared not offend her.
Moreover, if it weren't for this second princess, Consort Jing wouldn't have been confined to her quarters, and she wouldn't have been completely cut off from all news.
Consort Yue grew angrier the more she thought about it, suppressing her frustration.
Even so, as they brushed past each other, Mumu could still sense the faint annoyance emanating from Consort Yue.
Sheng Sheng found it strange and looked up at her, only to meet Consort Yue's gaze.
Consort Yue gave a fake smile.
Sheng Sheng pursed her lips, said nothing, and continued walking forward with Xie Yunqi.
I just felt a little strange.
Consort Yue's thoughts shifted.
What if she tries to please the second princess?
Originally, Consort Jing was the one Consort Yue had been trying to please all these years. Consort Yue had gone to great lengths to gain Consort Jing's trust and finally became Consort Jing's "little follower".
Although Consort Jing had no children, she was still one of the four consorts, and one could obtain quite a few benefits and information from her.
But ever since Consort Jing was confined to her quarters, her life in the palace has become increasingly difficult. Those opportunistic people, knowing she was on Consort Jing's side, were eager to kick her while she was down.
That's fine, she had already endured humiliation and entered the Yu Kingdom's palace as a concubine of the Yu Kingdom's emperor, so suffering a little hardship wouldn't have been a big deal.
But in recent years, thanks to Consort Jing, she has lived a very comfortable life and has long since truly regarded herself as a concubine in the harem.
