Chapter 233 You are still so afraid of me
Ye Qiaoqiao finally remembered where she had seen him before. He was the former prince and now the emperor.
Tiantian was holding Xiao Jing's hand. She looked at Ye Qiaoqiao who was kneeling in front of her, tilted her head slightly, then looked at Xiao Jing and asked curiously, "Why are they kneeling?"
Xiao Jing chuckled, lowered his head and said to Tiantian: "I don't know, maybe I like it."
Tiantian frowned and then said, "Kneeling like this must hurt your knees."
"So do you want them to get up?"
Tiantian said directly: "Get up quickly."
But Ye Qiaoqiao didn't dare to move at all because she didn't hear what Xiao Jing said.
Who dares to stand up? That would be a contempt for the imperial power, and that would cost their life.
Tiantian uttered a sound, looked at Ye Qiaoqiao who was still motionless, and then looked at Xiao Jing: "You wake them up."
Xiao Jing was once again amused by her cleverness. He seemed to be in a good mood and said, "Get up."
Ye Qiaoqiao and the servants behind her stood up tremblingly.
Tiantian grabbed Xiao Jing's hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to find your mother."
Xiao Jing watched her move her calves. For every one step she took, he could only take a small step. Even if she sped up, she still couldn't take as much as he did.
He leaned over and picked up Tiantian: "Tiantian, can you show me the way?"
Tiantian was held high, so her vision was elevated. She nodded and said, "This way."
Xiao Jing went towards where Li Ruanruan lived.
On the way, he met Li Mutou, who was frightened by Xiao Jing's presence. You know, when he and Li Runrun fled the capital, Xiao Jing was still the prince.
Now Xiao Jing is the new emperor, and his status is even more noble.
How did the emperor come to them?
Li Mutou didn't have time to think and knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.
Xiao Jing held Tiantian in one hand, and casually supported her with the other hand: "No need to be so polite."
Li Mutou was supported by him, and when he reacted, Xiao Jing had already walked away with Tiantian in his arms.
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at Limutou with a complicated look in her eyes.
As expected of Li Runrun's younger brother, he is so well-liked by Xiao Jing.
But she had never pleased Xiao Jing in the first place and was scared half to death by him, and it was still the same now.
Li Runrun was full and started looking at the account book.
I was so engrossed in watching it that I didn't even hear anyone walk in.
Only when she heard Ye Qiaoqiao's cough did she look up: "When will Qiaoqiao come..."
After seeing Xiao Jing, Li Runrun was also shocked.
She hurriedly stood up from behind the desk and was about to kneel down.
Xiao Jing also reached out to support her: "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to kneel to me."
"The rules cannot be forgotten."
Li Runrun still insisted on kneeling.
"Then even if you have knelt before, stand up."
After he said that, Li Runrun stopped kneeling.
My mind was still a little blank. I didn't know how Xiao Jing came here or how he got in. I subconsciously looked at Ye Qiaoqiao behind Xiao Jing.
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't even dare to raise her head.
Xiao Jing was already holding Tiantian and sitting on the chair where Li Ruanruan had just sat. He pointed at the account book and asked, "Do you understand?"
Tiantian shook her head: "I can't read, but my brother is very good. He can recite the Three Character Classic by heart."
Tiantian had just finished boasting when Liruanruan scolded her: "Tiantian, don't talk nonsense!"
Then Li Ruanruan looked at Xiao Jing: "An'er is not that amazing, he just knows a few more words than other children of the same age."
Tiantian was offended by Liruanruan's unprecedented serious tone and pouted.
Xiao Jing looked at her cute little appearance, then raised his eyes to look at Li Ruanruan: "Call her over so I can see her."
Tiantian didn't understand, so she asked, "What is I?"
Li Ruanruan scolded again: "Tiantian! Don't talk nonsense!"
Tiantian pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to say more.
Xiao Jing looked at Li Ruanruan: "Why are you being mean to her? I allow you to be mean to me."
This is the look of a spoiled child.
Li Ruanruan lowered her head and knelt: "I dare not."
Ye Qiaoqiao and the servants she brought with her at the door also knelt down.
When the emperor is angry, it's no joke. Even the servants in the palace have to be careful and cautious, let alone those of them who don't understand the palace rules.
The word "I" has already revealed my identity, who wouldn't understand that?
Tiantian looked up and saw so many people kneeling down. She wanted to say something, but then she remembered Li Runrun’s scolding just now, and suddenly she didn’t dare to speak.
After scratching it with her little hands, she whispered to Xiao Jing, "I see, you are a higher official than my father."
Xiao Jing smiled: "It's a little bigger."
He didn't care that Li Runrun was kneeling. He was always so moody.
Tiantian looked at the kneeling Li Ruanruan. She thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Jing: "Then put me down."
"Um?"
"I want to kneel with my mother, too."
Xiao Jing pinched the child's face: "Then stand with your mother."
Xiao Jing looked at Li Ruanruan and said, "Everyone, get up. Everyone, get out."
Li Runrun stood up, and Ye Qiaoqiao followed suit, then left and closed the study door.
Xiao Jing put Tiantian down.
Li Ruanruan waved: "Come on, Tiantian, go out and play with Aunt Ye for a while, okay?"
"Who is Aunt Ye?"
"It's the most beautiful auntie out there. Go find her, okay?"
"OK."
Li Runrun took Tiantian and sent her to the door.
Ye Qiaoqiao really didn't leave. At this time, the two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
Tiantian ran out, looked around, and then ran to Ye Qiaoqiao: "You are Aunt Ye, right?"
Ye Qiaoqiao squatted down and touched the child's face. Because she gave birth to a son, she especially loved the little girl, who was so sweet and adorable.
"How do you know?"
"Because you are the most beautiful aunt."
Tiantian's words made Ye Qiaoqiao so happy that she was overjoyed.
I finally understand why Xiao Jing also favors Tiantian. She really has a sweet mouth.
Li Ruanruan closed the study door, stood in front of Xiao Jing, and respectfully called him, "Your Majesty."
Xiao Jing sat casually on the chair, looking through the account book that Li Runrun had placed on the table earlier.
He reads very quickly and can finish reading ten lines at a glance.
Then he said, "He bought you a lot of things."
Li Ruanruan nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Jing glanced at Li Ruanruan and said, "Sit down."
Only then did Li Ruanruan dare to sit on the chair.
Then he remembered something and stood up again: "I'll have someone serve tea. I must not neglect Your Majesty."
"It's been a long time since I last drank the tea you made."
Li Ruanruan understood immediately and bowed: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Li Ruanruan turned around and went out, quickly making a cup of tea and placing it next to Xiao Jing.
He returned to his previous seat, thought about it, and sat down.
Xiao Jing looked at Li Ruanruan who was silent and would not answer unless asked: "You are still so afraid of me."
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he has his own majesty."
She had been distant from him since he was the crown prince, and now it was even worse.
Xiao Jing was not unaware of her little thoughts, but he never complained to her: "Are you afraid that I will choose you to enter the palace as my concubine? You will kneel to me again."
These two sentences together made Li Runrun unable to react for a moment.
