Chapter 200 The Fake Daughter of the Imperial Palace 6
"Fourth brother."
When Su Youran saw the person coming, she immediately smiled and said, “Where have you been? Mom was just talking about you.”
As she spoke, she took two steps forward and naturally pulled her hand out of Su Jingan's palm.
Su Jing'an lowered his eyelids and withdrew his hand. When he raised his eyes again after a few breaths, there was no emotion on his face.
Su Jingxi trotted closer, and the two of them discovered that he was holding something in his arms. It was bulging and looked quite large, and was covered with a piece of cloth.
"What?"
Su Jingxi laughed and lifted a corner of the cloth. Su Youran leaned forward and suddenly exclaimed:
"ah!"
Su Jingxi took the cloth, and the contents were completely revealed. It turned out to be a snow-white cat.
It must have been born not long ago. It has a small body, a pair of round eyes, and looks around timidly.
As if the kitten felt that Su Youran was the cutest looking one, it meowed softly at her. The sound was so thin and soft that it could almost melt anyone's heart.
Girls are always unable to resist such cute creatures. Su Youran's beautiful eyes widened and shone like stars, as if love would emerge from her eyes in the blink of an eye.
She was half bent over, with her hands on her knees. The cat was scratching the edge of its "temporary nest" with its front paws, and looking up with its little head raised.
A man and a cat just looked at each other, and there was an inexplicable sense of humor, which made Su Jingan and Su Jingxi couldn't help but curl the corners of their lips.
"Would you like a hug?"
Su Jingxi took the kitten out of the basket. His palms were broad and he could hold the kitten with one hand:
"It is said that this is an exotic breed with very soft fur. You can try it."
Su Youran took it carefully. The kitten was probably a little frightened by being lifted up so suddenly. It clung to her wrist tightly with its limbs, afraid that it would fall.
Su Youran scratched its chin to calm it down. Although the little guy was still small, his fur was long and thick, and felt smooth and silky, like a small blanket.
Perhaps because the kitten felt comfortable being tickled, it suddenly licked her hand. The slight tingling sensation made Su Youran laugh out loud.
So good.
Cat-hugging can be really addictive, especially when the cat is good-looking and docile, it’s hard to let go.
But it was still small, and Su Youran couldn't take it out too often. For this reason, she even reduced the time she spent outside.
Su Tiangang sent people to invite him several times but to no avail. He ran over to take a look and found that there was another little cub.
He was so angry that he summoned Su Jingxi as soon as he returned to Hanyuan Palace. He said a lot of things to him and finally warned him to send less distracting things into the palace in the future.
If it happens again, he will be sent to Akiyama Academy to study.
Qiushan Academy is the most famous institution of higher learning in the world today. It has a long history and has gathered many famous scholars. It is a holy place for study that all students yearn to go to.
Even after the fall of the previous dynasty and years of war, its status has not been shaken, but has become even more lofty.
Because among the capable ministers who followed Su Tiangang to conquer the world, several of them came from Qiushan Academy.
After Dayin was established, in order to make up for the defects of his family background and prevent people from talking about their royal family being peasants and uneducated, Su Tiangang sent Su Jingtai to Qiushan Academy to study for a few years.
It was just a show, one was to stop people from gossiping, and the other was to win the hearts of scholars.
At that time, the new dynasty had just been established and there was a lot of work to be done. It lacked everything, especially money and people.
He raised Qiushan Academy to a high pedestal in order to let all the scholars in the world know his attitude:
Even if dynasties change, you remain the same, so come and serve the court!
The effect of doing so was indeed significant. The number of candidates who took part in the special examination that year was more than double that of the first time.
However, there are also subsequent troubles.
When the imperial concubine saw that Su Jingtai had been sent away, she insisted on sending Su Jingmin away, and even Sun Mingde came to persuade her, of course, with high-sounding and righteous reasons.
But Su Tiangang was so annoyed that he thought about it and decided to do it. So he waved his hand and sent Su Jingmin and Su Jingan over one after another.
It became a precedent that every prince had to visit Akiyama Academy.
Speaking of which, Su Jingxi hasn't gone yet at the age of fifteen, which is considered late compared to his three older brothers.
Who made him reluctant to do so?
"You can go if you want. I'll go with Ranran. The prince and the princess should be treated the same. You can't favor boys over girls."
Su Tiangang raised the memorial in his hand and threw it over:
"Get lost! When have I ever favored boys over girls? I have always favored Ran'er over you guys! Don't you see how you can compare to my Ran'er? Is it because she is caring or lovable?"
He snorted with disdain:
"A bunch of debt collectors who only know how to annoy me, and you still want me to respect you? Bah! Get lost, I get angry just by looking at you."
Still want Ran'er to go to the college with him?
Don’t you think about what kind of people are there in the academy? Apart from the old women who are only responsible for cooking and cleaning, is there any mother?
Want to place his precious baby among a group of men?
Why don’t you think about going to heaven!
"If Ranran goes, I'll go. If Ranran doesn't go, I won't go either. We are twins, and we're meant to stick together for the rest of our lives."
Su Tiangang stopped throwing the memorial. He stood up from behind the imperial desk, ready to kick this unreliable son.
Want to stick with Ran'er forever? Go ahead and dream!
When Su Jingxi saw that something was wrong, he quickly ran away, shouting as he ran:
"I'll go find Ranran and ask her if she wants to go!"
Anyway, no matter how firmly you disagree now, if Ranran really wants to go, you still can't do anything about it.
The decision is never yours, but Ranran's.
Su Tiangang: ...
This unfilial son deliberately wants to piss his father off to death!
Wei Ying hurriedly came forward with a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. The Fourth Prince is still young, so it's inevitable that he will act a little naughty. Please forgive him this time because he is the closest to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Otherwise, if you really punish the Fourth Prince, and the princess comes to make trouble with you again, you will still have to surrender. Why bother?
Su Tiangang took the teacup and drank it in one gulp, then turned to glance at Wei Ying, as if he could see what was in his mind, and kicked his calf with his foot which had not hit his son just now.
You little dog slave, now you are so bold that you even dare to make up stories about your master!
Wei Ying pretended to be in great pain, crying out "Ouch, ouch", which made Su Tiangang want to kick him again.
"Xiao Ding is still kneeling outside?"
Su Tiangang sat back on the dragon throne and picked up the half-finished memorial. His voice was flat and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Wei Ying didn't dare to act funny anymore. He suppressed all his expressions, lowered his eyebrows, bowed his head and stood respectfully:
"Yes, Lord Xiao said he came to apologize and has been kneeling outside the palace for almost two hours."
"Oh, you want to plead guilty?"
Su Tiangang waved his pen, and a big "Not Allowed" appeared on the clean and tidy paper in the blink of an eye.
The handwriting is majestic and powerful, and it seems to show the unhappy mood of the person who wrote it.
"Let him go back. He is not a good parent. He will be fined half a year's salary and demoted one rank."
"yes."
Wei Ying walked backwards towards the prince. It didn't matter whether the salary was deducted or not. Who among the officials in the capital would live only on salary?
The key point is at the end, the position will be downgraded...
You have to know how difficult it is to move up after you reach the third rank. Without enduring for more than ten years or making outstanding contributions, you can forget about moving up.
It was hard to endure, but it was quick to go down. Look, in just one moment, all the hard work of so many years was gone.
Moreover, the emperor has not yet said how long he will be demoted, so it is still unclear whether he can be reinstated later.
If the emperor directly promoted someone to replace him, then Xiao Ding's future would probably end there.
Therefore, it is true that a virtuous wife brings less trouble to her husband.
Raising a daughter is the job of the women in the inner house. If she raises her daughter like that, doesn't it mean that the wife has not fulfilled her due responsibilities?
Don't blame others.
Wei Ying shook his head in his heart. If he offended the princess, he should be prepared to be punished.
But this Lord Xiao not only did not apologize to the princess in time, but he knelt in front of the Hanyuan Palace with great fanfare.
What does he want to do? To let others see how the emperor is mean to his meritorious officials?
Or does he think that he can get away with it by kneeling for a while based on his past merits?
Don't you think about how protective their emperor is? Especially the eldest princess is the apple of his eye and no one can touch her.
It seems that I have been blinded by the prosperity and can no longer see my own worth.
Su Jingxi was saying the same thing over there:
"It seems that the lesson they learned was not deep enough. I remember that their family sent two daughters to the palace?"
When he came out of Hanyuan Hall, he caught a glimpse of people kneeling outside the hall. He sent people to inquire about the matter and only then did he find out about this matter.
Su Jingxi's eyes were cold. How dare he be disrespectful to Ranran?
"Send the other one out too, and have someone tell her the reason. If she wants to blame someone, blame her good uncle for thinking too highly of himself and not caring about her future at all."
He just didn't believe that Xiao Shuzhen, who had difficulty getting married because of her relatives, would not have any resentment in her heart.
If there is resentment, there will be a desire for revenge, but since she is in the inner house, the only thing she can get is Xiao Shuhui.
Su Jingxi smiled coldly and said, let the dogs bite each other.
He has never been a bright and cheerful person, but because that person likes his cheerful and sunny nature, he pretends to be innocent.
In fact, he was the most vindictive person, especially when it came to her.
"Fourth brother, are you there?"
There was a sound of brisk footsteps approaching outside the door. Su Jingxi almost immediately smiled and strode out to greet them:
"Yes, what's the matter?"
Su Youran held her new favorite kitten in her arms and tilted her head to smile at him, her bright smile was compelling:
"I want to go to Tzu Chi Temple to ask for a peace amulet for my mother and enjoy the peach blossoms. Can Fourth Brother go with me?"
The author has something to say:
I still don't want to break my promise to my darlings, so I rushed to code so much before twelve o'clock. I was so sleepy that I could hardly open my eyes, but I didn't write about the new characters (covering my face)
Maybe many treasures can only be seen tomorrow. Hehe
And my little cutie, I was thinking of you while writing this cat. If you are tired or in a bad mood, just pet the cat~ Everyone should be happy every day
