Jiang Chengyan's face flushed with resentment as he gritted his teeth, "Such a young age, yet so quick-witted!"
"Otherwise what?" Yuan Yao asked curiously, "Does Yao'er intend to endure this and let His Highness the Second Prince bully her?"
“You…” Jiang Chengyan angrily pointed at her.
"What do you mean, 'you'?" Yuan Yao narrowed her eyes and continued, "The eunuchs that His Highness the Second Prince mentioned often work through the night, handling state affairs, until their eyes are bloodshot, all for the sake of the stability of the Great Qi Kingdom, for the Emperor, and for the people..."
"If it weren't for this eunuch, could Your Highness guarantee that you'd still be sitting here carefree, a secure prince, casually pointing fingers at me?"
Jiang Chengyan slowly retracted his fingers and clenched them into a fist.
how?
Do you want to beat her up?
Yuan Yao raised her chubby little face and looked at Jiang Chengyan without fear.
After a long pause, Jiang Chengyan, his fist hanging at his side, said, "His contributions to the Great Qi are undeniable, but his achievements have become too great and have threatened the emperor's position."
This world belongs to the Jiang family, not to that Ninth Prince!
Upon hearing Jiang Chengyan's words, the dean, Xie Zhi, and Lin Xuan all changed their expressions: "Second Prince, be careful what you say!"
It's not up to a child to discuss matters concerning the Ninth Prince and the Emperor.
Moreover, Jiang Chengyan's words were truly outrageous.
Whether he wants the emperor or the Ninth Prince to hear it, he won't have an easy time!
Yuan Yao's eyes darted around, and she suddenly laughed, her childish voice unusually sharp: "This world, of course, belongs to the Jiang family."
If my father had wanted to change the imperial surname, the empire would have changed hands long ago; would it have lasted until today?
"Princess Yuan Yao!" The dean's face turned ashen.
These kids, one by one, are really giving him no peace of mind.
He's so old, is he going to die today?
Lin Xuan, his face contorted with rage, snapped, "Yuan Yao, shut up! Do you want to die?"
Even a woman of nine thousand years old cannot speak carelessly about the current emperor!
They're really courting death!
Xie Zhi, however, stared intently at Yuan Yao, seemingly quite interested.
Yuan Yao said fearlessly, "Why should I shut up? My father works hard day and night for the Great Qi Kingdom, but he is not only not respected, but is also hunted down by villains. I feel sorry for him!"
If the Emperor were to strip my father of his power and remove him from the title of "Nine Thousand Years Old," I would be more than happy to accept it!
At least, there will be fewer people who hate him, and fewer people who want to kill him. Wouldn't it be better to leave the palace and the capital, free from worldly cares, and enjoy the beauty of nature?
Jiang Chengyan: "..."
Jiang Chengyan blushed deeply after being rebuked.
Even Xie Zhi and the others fell silent.
They never expected that Yuan Yao, a three-year-old child, would say things that made more sense than most people.
Yes, the Ninth Prince is a eunuch, and he wields immense power. But why is the power of the Great Qi concentrated in his hands instead of the emperor's?
It wasn't given to him by the emperor!
If he truly harbored ambitions to seize power, the world would likely have belonged to the Yuan dynasty many years ago.
An unusual silence fell over the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Thump..."
In the distance, the school bell rang to signal the end of the semester at the National Academy.
Yuan Duidui Yao, still not satisfied, said in a childish voice, "Second Prince, your father, His Majesty the Emperor, does not need to be a lowly official to establish his authority over the world."
Similarly, Your Highness, you don't need to establish your authority by bullying me at the National Academy.
Yuan Yao has said all she has to say; she hopes you understand.
After speaking, she lifted the hem of her skirt, ignored the others, and with her short legs, struggled to board the small boat. She said to the rower, "Father has come to pick me up. Please take me back to the shore."
Across the lake from the pavilion, a figure in striking red robes stands out, exuding unparalleled elegance.
As soon as he stepped off the small boat, Yuan Yao rushed towards the Ninth Prince, calling out, "Father!"
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Why is my precious little dumpling being so enthusiastic today?"
Is today all the enthusiasm?
She's so enthusiastic every day!
Yuan Yao hugged the Ninth Prince's leg and said coquettishly, "Yao'er misses Father."
She missed her father, so he came to pick her up.
very nice!
The Ninth Prince flicked his long sleeves, scooped Yuan Yao up with one hand, and touched her forehead to his: "Let's go, Father will take you out of the city."
"Okay!" Yuan Yao stretched out her short arms and hugged the Ninth Prince's neck tightly.
The Ninth Prince smiled faintly and glanced towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
After leaving the Academy of Foreign Studies and getting into the carriage, Tangyuan excitedly pounced on Yuan Yao, "Aww..."
Yuan Yao exclaimed with delight, "Father, why did you bring glutinous rice balls?"
The Ninth Prince looked at the tiger cub that kept licking Yuan Yao's little hand and said with a smile, "If you are willing, you can take it to school in the future."
Taking the little tiger to school?
Yuan Yao didn't even dare to think about it!
At that point, I'm afraid the entire National Academy will have to stop studying and everyone will just go see tigers instead...
Yuan Yao found the thought of that scene hilarious.
She held Tangyuan in her arms, sat in the arms of the Ninth Prince, and looked up, saying, "Father, actually, Yao'er didn't go to class today."
"Oh?" The Ninth Prince looked down at her.
Yuan Yao hesitated for a moment, then recounted everything that had happened that day to the Ninth Prince.
After saying that, she asked somewhat nervously, "Father, will you... be angry that Yao'er said something nonsense?"
The Ninth Prince's narrow eyes were half-closed: "After Xiao Yao'er said those words, are you feeling better?"
Her feelings...
Yuan Yao was a little smug: "I was very angry at first, but after seeing that Jiang Chengyan couldn't say a word in rebuttal, my anger subsided."
And then Daddy came to pick me up, which made me even happier!
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Since you are happy, those words were not wrong, and your father will not blame you."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao smiled sweetly: "Father loves Yao'er the most!"
Her anger came quickly and subsided just as quickly.
Jiang Chengyan was just a little kid. He probably became hostile towards her and the Ninth Prince because of what the Empress Dowager said.
She could barely understand being used to establish authority.
However, she couldn't tolerate Jiang Chengyan's disparaging and slanderous remarks about the Ninth Prince, so she gave him a good talking-to...
Hopefully, after today, Jiang Chengyan will be a little smarter.
Although the crown prince has been established, there are still countless possibilities for the future. As the son of the empress, if Jiang Chengyan continues as he is now, he will suffer a lot in the future.
Yuan Yao stroked the tiger cubs and sighed silently.
well……
The capital of the Great Qi Kingdom was prosperous, and the development of its suburbs was not bad either.
Once outside the city, drive east for a few miles, and you'll find private residences and gardens scattered throughout the landscape, creating a beautiful scene.
The carriage pulled up outside a private residence and stopped.
A middle-aged man with a lithe build, dressed in a plain brocade robe, stepped forward and ushered the two inside: "My lord, the goods are all ready, just waiting for you to bring the young master to inspect them."
goods?
Yuan Yao's curiosity began to stir...
Inside the private residence, many servants were moving about. Upon seeing the Ninth Prince from afar, they immediately knelt on one knee to pay their respects, their movements swift and their posture upright.
At first glance, he looks like someone who practices martial arts.
As Yuan Yao watched, she was secretly alarmed.
After passing through the winding corridors, a courtyard gate soon came into view.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a person stood with his back to them, dressed in white with white hair, and spotless.
Hearing footsteps, the man turned around, revealing a face that bore a striking resemblance to the Ninth Prince. On that face, a pure and radiant smile graced his lips: "Brother..."
