"So powerful?"
Chunshi, who had been waiting there, heard the sound and quietly opened the curtain.
Ever since the little princess sneaked out in the middle of the night to see Cui'er having a secret meeting, the queen ordered them to take turns guarding her and never let the little princess run away again.
When Chunshi thought of what happened last time, she felt scared. What if they were discovered? Even though she knew martial arts, she couldn't stand up to the enemy's large numbers.
As soon as I opened the tent, I saw a pair of big misty eyes.
Chun Shi resisted the urge to rub her, "Little princess, I will help you change your clothes."
Chu Yaoyao yawned softly, then nodded.
As soon as Concubine Shu entered the room, she saw the wilted little girl and touched her plump little forehead with heartache.
These past few days have been really hard.
Just as she finished her meal with Yaoyao, someone reported that Steward Su had arrived.
After entering the door, Su Maowen walked forward with a happy look on his face.
"Madam Shufei, the emperor asked you to bring the little princess to the imperial study to accompany him."
After saying this, he bowed his head respectfully and waited aside.
Originally, Shufei was the most beloved concubine in the harem. Now with the blessing of the little princess, her favor surpassed that of other concubines by several streets.
Shouldn't he try to curry favor with her?
What's more, regarding Xiao Luzi's matter, he was grateful for the kindness shown by Concubine Shu.
Thinking of this, the smile on Su Maowen's face became somewhat sincere.
"Accompany the emperor?" Concubine Shu was surprised at first, then shook her head helplessly.
How could he ask her to go? He clearly wanted Yaoyao to go.
[My cheap father is looking for my mother again. I know. This is called... This is called...]
Chu Yaoyao blinked her big eyes, her little hands unconsciously scratched the little hair on her head, and her face wrinkled.
My memory has not been very good recently, and I always feel like my brain is not enough.
[Yes, a beautiful lady with red sleeves! My cheap father is quite romantic. ]
Looking at the little guy with a bit of cunning in his eyes, Concubine Shu shook her head with amusement.
Imperial Study
As Concubine Shu walked to the door with Yaoyao in her arms, she heard hearty laughter coming from inside.
Su Maowen explained, "Originally, the emperor wanted to go to Qionghua Palace as soon as he finished his court session, but he ran into the second prince on the way. It seemed that the second prince had developed some new gadgets."
"My beloved concubine, come and see." Emperor Qixuan waved to them after seeing them.
Concubine Shu came forward holding Yaoyao.
Chu Yaoyao also saw clearly the things on the table.
[I didn't expect that my second brother could make glass so quickly. It seems that he has some talent.]
"How awesome!" Chu Yaoyao clapped her hands and praised him.
Hearing her praise, Chu You puffed out his chest slightly, feeling very happy.
My sister praised him again.
Emperor Qixuan pondered for a moment and decided: "Send someone to do it immediately and open the shop as soon as possible."
After all, the treasury is empty.
"Yes, drill money!"
Chu Yaoyao raised her little fist with high morale.
[While the heroine has just arrived and is still getting familiar with the environment, catch her off guard! Go, go, go! ]
Suddenly, the prince coughed a few times.
When a few people looked over, they saw that he looked pale and his voice was a little hoarse.
【Oh, the prince is sick! 】
[Could it be last night...]
"Yaoyao, do you still have those white pills?"
The prince interrupted, he didn't want his father to know about Miss Zhao.
Chu Yaoyao nodded and took out a tablet of ibuprofen from her small purse.
[But you can’t always take medicine, and it’s not a panacea that can cure all diseases. ]
The prince took it and put it away. Of course he was not going to eat it, he was going to give it to Miss Zhao.
When people give gifts, they usually give jewelry, clothes, or at least some food. But you give...
Medicine? Emperor Qixuan looked at the prince in confusion.
What last night? What happened last night? Soon, Emperor Qixuan suddenly realized what was going on, and looked at the prince with a bit of disapproval in his eyes.
Chu You also lowered his head embarrassedly.
"Well, Prince, you should be more careful on weekdays and not be too indulgent. After all, your health is more important."
When Chu Jun first heard this, he thought his father was concerned about his health, but after thinking about it carefully...
Something seems to be wrong.
"Father, I..."
Emperor Qixuan raised his hand to interrupt him, with an expression that said 'No need to explain, I know everything'.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I was your age too."
[What did my cheap father say? And my mother and my second brother have such strange expressions. ]
Chu Yaoyao couldn’t figure it out and stopped worrying about it.
She ran to the table and asked Su Maowen to help pour a glass of warm water.
Then he brought it to the prince with trembling hands, "Taizi pot, have some water."
The prince took it and was moved.
[It must be because I gave the cloak to Sister Zhao last night that I caught a cold. 】
Emperor Qixuan was now embarrassed.
Why is this kid breathing heavily when he speaks? The prince is the same. Isn't it just that he has someone he likes? What's there to hide? Chu Yaoyao sighed with melancholy.
Seeing her frowning face, the prince thought she was worried about him and was about to say a few words to comfort her...
[It must be that the prince is too weak. 】
That's why you get sick when the wind blows.
The prince gripped the cup with greater force, and the joints became more and more obvious.
Weak? I am not weak!
But he had no way of explaining it, so he could only raise his head and drink the glass of water as if to vent his anger.
Then he stood up suddenly, "Father, regarding soap and glass, I have some small ideas."
If he continued to listen, he was afraid that he would lose control and "harm his brothers and sisters"! ...
The father and his two sons had something to discuss, so Concubine Shu took Yaoyao to read in the outer room.
"Come on, this is San..."
"No~" Chu Yaoyao struggled with her little body, and every hair on her body was in resistance.
[I am still a baby, I don’t want to suffer the hardship of studying so early. ]
Concubine Shu held her with her hands and legs, and patted her little butt with a stern face, "Be serious, learn three words today, this is three, this is a word."
Then Concubine Shu looked at her seriously and asked, "Did you remember?"
Chu Yaoyao pursed her lips in grievance.
The two of them made quite a lot of noise. Emperor Qixuan looked at the scene, shook his head and chuckled.
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian is here."
The corners of Emperor Qixuan's mouth, which were originally slightly raised, were straightened in an instant.
He motioned to the two prince brothers, "Put these away first."
As soon as Concubine Xian entered the room, she saw Concubine Shu and her daughter, and a hint of jealousy flashed across her eyes.
Then he bowed with a smile and said, "Your Highness."
"Didn't the Queen Mother ask you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors? Why are you coming out?" Emperor Qixuan said in a cold tone.
"I heard that the emperor was injured last night and was extremely worried, so I specially made a tonic soup." As she said this, she handed the soup bowl to Su Maowen.
Emperor Qixuan watched her actions coldly without saying a word.
Although he was not present when the Queen Mother paid her respects to the Empress Dowager Ci'an that day, he was told everything afterwards.
If he hadn't heard Yaoyao's voice, he wouldn't have known that the Xiao family was after the throne under his butt! The road to succession was difficult, and he received a lot of help from the Xiao family. So over the years, even though he knew that the Xiao family had done something secretly, he just turned a blind eye.
I didn't expect the Xiao family's appetite to grow even bigger! (End of this chapter)
