Chapter 178: The Secret to Being Favored
Eunuch Li walked out the door.
Emperor Beili glared at Marquis Ming.
Xiang Minghou stretched his neck and looked at the door.
Emperor Beili breathed a sigh of relief. A great general was distracted by a little girl. If someone could find his weakness, his generalship would be easily taken advantage of.
Weakness?
A question suddenly emerged in the mind of Emperor Beili. If the child was captured by the enemy and the enemy was at the gate of the city, would Marquis Xiang Ming save the child's life or open the city gate?
Emperor Beili's eyes were complicated for a moment. Although it was a hypothesis, as a general he must not waver in the slightest.
Generals should be like royal family members, without any emotions or ties, so that they can be used with confidence.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no one coming in, Emperor Beili was about to speak when his attention was attracted by a pink ball.
The little baby grunted and put his butt and head on the ground. He used his hands to turn over, and then repeated the cycle, just like a pink ball rolling over.
Emperor Beili was a little confused by this scene, but the little man's red cheeks from panting were quite amusing.
"Fatty." Xiang Minghou was also stunned. Seeing the little man's face flushed with tiredness, he felt distressed.
Ye Qianning somersaulted again, and when he heard the shout, he looked up and saw his father, and burst into tears instantly. He rushed over with his little legs: "Dad, Dad..."
"Fatty, it's my daughter." Xiang Minghou walked up to her and hugged the baby.
"Dad, they bullied me and my fourth wife." Ye Qianning burst into tears.
When Xiang Minghou saw the baby crying like this for the first time, his heart ached: "Are you hurt? Daddy can see if you are hurt. Daddy will call the imperial physician to check you out."
"Dad, wow wow wow wow... I'm fine, I just feel so sorry for Fourth Granny. She's dying, dying."
"It's all Dad's fault for being so careless. If he had strictly forbidden Prime Minister Gao's men, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to kidnap Fourth Wife. It's all Dad's fault. Don't worry, Dad will definitely chop off that bastard Prime Minister Gao."
“Wow wow wow wow…”
"Enough!" Emperor Beili threw down another memorial with a dark face.
Are these two people pretending he doesn't exist?
Xiang Minghou and Ye Qianning were both startled and their voices stopped abruptly.
Ye Qianning sobbed, turned her head and pouted, wanting to cry but not daring to.
Although Emperor Beili is unkind, the baby in front of him is really good-looking, and his chubby body makes him look even more adorable.
"Put her down." Although his face was serious, his voice was much lowered.
Be alert to Xiang Minghou.
"Put her down. Can I eat her?" Emperor Beili was displeased.
Xiang Minghou reluctantly put down the baby in his arms.
Ye Qianning held back her tears, her little hands clutching her clothes, her big eyes staring at Emperor Bei Li.
Emperor Beili met those eyes and paused. This child… even though she was crying, there wasn’t a trace of fear in her eyes. She even seemed to want to act coquettishly…
I really can't believe such a little kid could be so cruel.
"Why did you enter the hall like that just now?" he asked.
"It was the Emperor who told me to come in."
“…”
Emperor Bei Li thought about it and it was true, but she was just doing a somersault, not rolling.
"Come here." he said again.
Ye Qianning ran over without any pause, as if waiting for him to speak.
The Emperor of Beili paused again when he saw this. No one in Beili was afraid of him. Even his own sons, daughters, and concubines were very wary of him...
However, before Emperor Beili could figure it out, Ye Qianning's small body came up to him, squeezed into his arms, raised his head and looked aggrieved.
The anger in Emperor Beili's heart subsided by 30%, and his body became a little stiff, as if he didn't know whether to hug or push the person away.
Eunuch Li's heart ached as he watched this. The little kid was really brave.
Ye Qianning pouted and sniffed, looking like she was about to cry the next second without any comfort.
"Okay, okay, don't cry." Bei Lidi forced her to do something and rubbed her face with his big hands.
It would have been fine if she hadn't comforted him, but once she did, Ye Qianning's tears burst out like a flood, unable to be stopped. Her sobs were muffled, making Emperor Beili embarrassed and at a loss.
Xiang Minghou was also stunned. He said the baby couldn't be kept just a second ago, and he was so scared that he almost wanted to take action. But he started to coax the baby the next second.
His daughter is cute though.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Your little face will turn pale no matter how miserable you are." Emperor Bei Li had never coaxed a child before, so his movements were stiff.
Eunuch Li was a man who could read people's expressions. He quickly brought the cakes beside him and said, "Miss Xiang, don't cry. Look, there are some delicious cakes here."
Ye Qianning paused rubbing his eyes, glanced at the pastries, and sure enough, he sniffed and hiccuped, then held a piece of pastry in his little hand.
Emperor Beili looked at Eunuch Li with admiration.
Eunuch Li immediately smiled happily and had an idea in his mind.
Although Ye Qianning was still sobbing, she stopped crying. She brought the cake to her mouth and took a bite, dropping the crumbs all over Bei Lidi's body.
Emperor Beili didn't care and stared at the baby intently. The little one was as delicate as a piece of jade. If he wasn't so fat, he would be stunningly beautiful at the age of six. This child would have a great appearance when he grew up.
Ye Qianning took a few more bites, tilted his head, and said in a hoarse, childish voice, "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"
"Of course I think you are cute." Emperor Beili smiled and understood.
"Everyone praises me so much." Ye Qianning lowered his head and took another bite of the pastry, eating it seriously.
"I heard that he led people to attack the Prime Minister's residence." Emperor Beili stared at her closely.
Ye Qianning paused slightly while eating the pastry and nodded.
"Why?"
Ye Qianning swallowed the cake and frowned: "He beat my fourth wife."
"Just because of a woman?" Emperor Bei Li's voice softened when he spoke to the child.
"Fourth Grandma is the most important person in Fatty's heart. If anyone hurts my Fourth Grandma, I will get my life back even if I have to sacrifice it." Ye Qianning clenched his little fists, his face full of anger and seriousness.
"Is it worth risking my life?"
"It's worth it." Ye Qianning nodded without hesitation. "It's not easy for Fourth Granny. Her husband and two sons died on the battlefield. She had to take care of her paralyzed mother and seriously ill father alone, and she had to take care of me. She was also bullied by those rich and powerful people. We have done nothing wrong. It's not easy to live an honest life. Why do they bully us? Why, Your Majesty, tell me why."
Ye Qianning said this with tears in her eyes.
Xiang Minghou's eyes were red. In Kyoto, right under his nose, he was injured like that...
Emperor Beili had never been questioned like this before, and ripples appeared in her heart. Living in troubled times, without the support of her husband and son, and being bullied everywhere, she was indeed pitiful.
Why……
"Fourth Auntie always endures everything and never dares to fight back when she is bullied or cursed, but I will not accept it. If they bully us, I will fight back, even if I can't win. I just want to let them know that I am not someone to be trifled with. I am not afraid of being beaten. The worst that can happen is my life. If you can't kill me today, I will kill your whole family tomorrow!" Ye Qianning became more and more angry as she spoke, and the pastries in her hands were crushed to pieces by her.
