The next morning
Chu Yaoyao was slurping noodles when she suddenly noticed Lin Yujin walking out with dark circles under his eyes.
Before she could think about it, she saw her father sitting down with the same panda eyes.
Chu Yaoyao's puzzled eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.
[It's strange, why are these two people not sleeping in the middle of the night? ]
Suddenly, her expression became serious. [Could it be...]
Then, she looked at the person next to her accusingly.
[Did you eat delicious food behind my back?! ]
Emperor Qixuan: ...
When Lin Yujin saw Emperor Qixuan, he subconsciously wanted to salute, but was stopped.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yaoyao paused in sucking noodles.
[Has my cheap father revealed his true colors? Or is Lin Yujin just too smart? ]
[How did you conquer such a proud genius so quickly? It's amazing! ]
Hearing this, Emperor Qixuan puffed out his chest with pride, of course it was because of my personal charm.
Go on, praise more if you can!
However, he did not get what he wanted.
System: It is detected that the host's blood relative has subdued a key figure, and the reward is +5 counterattack progress, points x25, current progress 40, and points balance 88.
[I just took a nap, and something so big happened. ]
As an excellent spectator, her profession does not allow her to miss such big gossip.
System: Host, do you want to know? Once you reach level 3, you can enable the playback and live broadcast functions~ [Hehe... I don't want to! ]
[No matter what, the favorability cannot be faked, as long as Lin Yujin is truly submissive, that's all.]
Hearing this, Emperor Qi Xuan felt a little uneasy. It seemed that nothing could be hidden from the immortal. Then what about his selling misery last night...
Isn't that exposed?! Aunt Xu handed a piece of steamed sweet potato to Lin Yujin, "You kid, you didn't sleep last night, right? I told you a long time ago that reading at night hurts your eyes."
It would be fine if you didn't sleep yourself, but you also made it difficult for others to get a good rest. That's really rude.
Lin Yujin's hands trembled slightly as he held the sweet potato, ever since he knew that this was a high-quality variety that could yield 3,000 kilograms per mu.
He couldn't calm down.
Looking at the big brother and little sister who were eating voraciously...
Lin Yujin silently withdrew his gaze and put down the sweet potato in his hand. It was really... a sin.
After a pause, he said solemnly: "Mom, big brother, little sister, last night the emperor..."
"Brother Huang said that his family owns a farm nearby and we can stay there."
Emperor Qixuan nodded. That’s right. Since he had decided to make use of Lin Yujin, he naturally had to treat his family well.
But after a long conversation last night, he found out that Lin Yujin was the only one in the Lin family who had ever been to school, and the others could only barely recognize a few words.
For a moment, I really didn't know how to accommodate them.
We can only ask them to help look after the farm for now.
Aunt Xu hesitated, "Will this... cause trouble for you, my Lord?"
"Of course not." Emperor Qixuan shook his head.
"But..." Aunt Xu still had concerns.
Emperor Qixuan had no choice but to continue taking drastic measures, "Unfortunately, no one has been taking care of the farmland, and it has been left barren."
Of course not, but he has the final say.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu slapped her thigh and stood up. What a sin! We can’t leave such a good field lying idle! “Okay! I’ll go pack up my belongings right away!”
Village entrance Lin Yujin watched the carriage leave.
Thinking of His Majesty's heartfelt words last night, he swore a secret oath in his heart.
A scholar will die for his confidant. Since His Majesty trusts him, he will do his best to serve the court and live up to His Majesty's kindness! After leaving the village, the group set out on the journey back to Beijing.
Chu Yao looked at the villagers busy in the fields and remained silent for a long time.
He was so silent that even Chu Yaoyao noticed that something was wrong with him.
【What happened to the third brother? 】
Soon, Chu Yao seemed to have made up his mind. He said firmly, "Father, after returning to the palace, I want to go see my mother."
Chu Yaoyao stared at him with eyes wide open.
[You still want to go? You have to try poison, right?]
Emperor Qixuan looked at him deeply, "Have you thought it through?"
He could no longer live his life in a muddle and drag other people down with him.
Xiao Zhuozi’s death cannot be in vain.
He wants to do something for Daqi and the people, and also... avenge Xiao Zhuozi! Father will definitely deal with the Xiao family, and the Xiao family's conspiracy will not succeed, but mother and grandfather act cautiously, so father has never been able to catch them.
Then let him come! Didn't the Xiao family want him to be the emperor? Then he would pretend to obey them first, and then find an opportunity to get evidence of his crime.
Moreover, because of his meritorious service, my father might be able to spare my mother's life? Seeing his stubborn eyes, Emperor Qixuan sighed and said, "Then go."
[I feel that the third brother is different from before. ]
[There seems to be light in the eyes! ]
Chu Yao looked at the scenery outside, with a slight smile on his face.
He just had a goal.
…
The carriage went all the way to the city gate and suddenly stopped.
In less than a moment, Su Maowen approached the car window and whispered, "The princess sent someone to ask if you want to go to the banquet at the mansion today?"
"banquet?!"
Chu Yaoyao's little ears twitched.
[The banquet at the Princess's Mansion is mentioned in the book. At this banquet, the heroine won the whole audience with two poems and became a household name in Daqi's most talented woman.]
【Famous scene, you must go and see it! 】
"Father, I want to go." Chu Yaoyao looked at him eagerly.
Emperor Qixuan felt depressed and reached out to pinch her little face to vent his anger.
This little bad girl calls father when there is something going on, and calls him tyrant or scumbag when nothing happens.
She is the scumbag!
But... a talented woman? Humph! I want to see what she can do! Emperor Qixuan lowered his eyelids, hiding the dark light in his eyes.
"Then, go and have a look."
Princess's Mansion Emperor Qixuan and the princess were drinking tea in the main hall, while Chu Yao and Yaoyao were catching butterflies in the garden.
"Look, sister, brother has caught another one."
Looking at his childish behavior, Chu Yaoyao clapped and laughed a few times out of respect.
I was bored and just ate a candy when I heard:
"Who are you? And why are you in my house?!"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Chu Yaoyao saw a little girl who looked about eight or nine years old.
"This princess is asking you a question!" Xie Jingyuan took a few steps forward and stared at the little kid sitting on the stone bench.
She watched from the side for a long time and saw that Cousin Yao was actually catching butterflies for this naughty girl.
The most important thing is, he actually hugged her!
"Cousin Jingyuan, this is my sister, Yaoyao."
Chu Yao put down the jar containing the butterflies, walked over to stand in front of Yaoyao, and explained.
It would have been better if he didn't say it, but after he said it, Xie Jingyuan became even angrier.
This girl is the Chu Yaoyao that my grandmother always talks about? !
Before, her grandmother loved her the most, but now all her love has been taken away by this stinky girl!
And he wants to take away cousin Yao!
Xie Jingyuan's eyes turned, and he pointed at Yaoyao and asked, "What are you eating?"
Chu Yaoyao took out a candy from her small purse and handed it to her, "Please have some candy."
“Bang!”
Xie Jingyuan slapped her hand away, shouting with disgust, "What kind of dirty thing is this? How dare you bring it in front of this princess!"
"Xie Jingyuan, what are you doing!"
Chu Yao stepped forward and protected Yaoyao behind him, glaring at her.
Looking at the candy on the ground and the burning palm, Chu Yaoyao pursed her lips, her big eyes were misty with tears, and she turned and ran away.
"Sister! Where are you going?"
Chu Yaoyao trudged her short legs without even turning her head.
"Tell my dad!"
