Chapter 11 Why are there five more?
The next morning, Qingbi sneaked out of the palace with the palace maid in charge of purchasing as planned yesterday.
Fang Zhaoyi was no longer as helpless as she had been when she first heard the news. After Qingbi left, she dressed up Jiang Yingcheng herself.
The little guy is adorable, and with just a few touches of makeup, he will become a little doll that looks very blessed.
She put a light pink cotton jacket on the little guy with a circle of white fluff at the collar, and a fluffy white hat, making the guy look rounder.
Jiang Yingcheng raised her hand and felt the shirt, which was much thicker than yesterday. Her face was full of knots: "It's a bit heavy."
She was going to secretly go play with her father today, but the clothes her mother gave her had one more piece of clothing than her sister Qingbi, so she felt it was not very convenient to move around.
Fang Zhaoyi was also a little hesitant.
It’s a good thing that the kid said he wanted to go play with Emperor Mingze.
Judging from Emperor Mingze's reaction yesterday, he didn't mind the young guy approaching him, and one could even say he liked it a little.
If the young lady can establish a good relationship with Emperor Mingze because of this, even if she and her sister fail in the future, the young lady will have an extra way out.
But when the young man went to play with Emperor Mingze, there must not be any shadow of Fang Zhaoyi involved.
Otherwise, it would appear that she was using the child to win favor, which would not only make Emperor Mingze dislike her, but it could also ruin the future of this little guy...
How about giving the little girl a thinner piece of clothing so that she can move more easily?
While he was thinking, a palace servant hurriedly ran up to him and excitedly whispered, "Your Majesty's eunuch Changshun is here!"
As he said this, Eunuch Changshun was already standing at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Fang Zhaoyi to ask him to come in.
Fang Zhaoyi was stunned. Without time to think carefully, she quickly carried Jiang Yingcheng down from the couch and ordered, "Please invite the eunuch in quickly."
The palace maid turned around and trotted out again.
When Fang Zhaoyi was getting ready, she didn't notice that Jiang Yingcheng had just landed on the ground and ran out with his short legs, following the palace maid.
While running, she panted and raised her voice to shout: "Uncle, you are here~"
Eunuch Changshun also quickened his pace, and replied with a smile as he walked: "Oh my little prince, you shouldn't call me a servant like that, you are going to shorten my life!"
Jiang Yingcheng was out of breath and just focused on running. As soon as she ran to the front of Changshun Gonggong, she hugged his thighs and raised her little face to show a big smile: "Hehehe."
Eunuch Changshun took Jiang Yingcheng's hand and walked to Fang Zhaoyi.
He came today on the orders of Emperor Mingze to take the little princess to stay in the Lingyang Palace for a day. Fang Zhaoyi was ecstatic after hearing this and handed the little thing over to him.
Before leaving, Eunuch Changshun asked, "Did your Majesty enjoy yesterday's dinner?"
Fang Zhaoyi hesitated and said, "Of course it comes naturally. Thank you for your concern, eunuch."
She felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart yesterday, and although she was later healed by the warm kindness of the young man, the whole meal was like chewing wax, and she passed it by in a daze.
Now that I think about it, the meat I ate yesterday seemed to be much more than usual.
Fang Zhaoyi suddenly looked at Jiang Yingcheng who was acting coquettishly with Eunuch Changshun.
A seemingly outrageous but reasonable idea suddenly emerged.
Could it be...
Before she could figure out what was going on, Eunuch Changshun greeted her and then walked out with the young man.
The same sedan chair from yesterday was parked outside the courtyard. The bright yellow curtains looked even more eye-catching in the daytime. Eunuch Changshun led Jiang Yingcheng in, and then walked slowly towards the direction of the Mingyang Palace.
Fang Zhaoyi couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand.
Serving the king is like serving a tiger.
Although this matter can bring unlimited possibilities, the young man will also face more dangers.
She kept her eyes on the sedan until it disappeared from her sight.
In the sedan, Changshun thoughtfully prepared many desserts for the little princess, as well as many small toys that children of this age like to play with, so that the little princess would not be too bored along the way.
Zhuyunxuan is a long distance away from the Mingyang Palace. When Changshun came, he thought that if what the little princess said in her heart was proven to be true, then Fang Zhaoyi would not be far from being promoted to a noble concubine.
After all, His Majesty intended to let the little princess spend more time in his palace. If she were to stay on the road for so long, it would be a bit inconvenient when she finally returns.
After another while, the sedan stopped outside the Mingyang Palace.
As soon as the sedan chair landed on the ground, Jiang Yingcheng inside jumped out like a small cannonball, and the yard was instantly filled with soft and sticky laughter.
"Father~" Jiang Yingcheng shouted as he ran, his voice soft and gentle.
But the voice in his heart seemed to be letting himself go, and had nothing to do with the word quiet.
[My beautiful father, Chengcheng is here! ]
But as soon as she ran into the palace of yesterday, she suddenly stopped.
Just like yesterday, there were five old men in official robes standing in front of her handsome father. There were so many people in the room, but it was so quiet that there was not even a sound before she came in.
Jiang Yingcheng stood there, feeling a little overwhelmed.
【Why are there five more? 】
Although five uncles came here yesterday, she was the first one to come in after all, and she even felt a little proud of being the host.
But today, her father had already been with her uncles for a while, and she was not sure if she would delay her father's work.
Jiang Yanchuan took in Jiang Yingcheng's reaction and admired the embarrassment on the boy's face with interest for a while. Then he smiled slowly and said, "Come to father."
Jiang Yingcheng ran over with a bang.
Jiang Yanchuan leaned over personally and wanted to carry the little guy to the couch like he did yesterday.
As soon as I reached out my hand, I realized something was wrong.
The boy's belly was bulging, and it was obvious that something was stuffed inside.
When Jiang Yingcheng saw that her father had discovered what was in her stomach, she started to giggle.
She stood in the open space in front of Jiang Yanchuan, took out the things inside one by one, and placed them all on the other's legs like treasures.
They were all snacks she had snatched out from the sedan.
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes curved into a crescent: "Father, eat~"
[Cheng Cheng found all of them in the sedan chair. Cheng Cheng didn’t steal any of them~]
Jiang Yanchuan paused slightly and looked down for a while.
The dessert almost filled his legs.
Changshun was always very sensible in what he did. Worried about his children's tooth decay, he would not prepare too many sweets. These on his legs should be all that was in the sedan.
She liked these snacks so much that she could resist eating any of them.
Jiang Yanchuan calmly put all the snacks on the table beside him, then brought the kid to his side, and then pushed the snacks prepared for him to her side: "Chengcheng, eat too."
Jiang Yingcheng immediately put on an even brighter smile.
[Oh oh oh, Cheng Cheng really likes the beautiful father the most! ]
