Chapter 426 Be a Female Imperial Son-in-Law
Little Su Bao already had some experience; even if she was a little nervous, she would still smile when she saw her father.
Mainly...
My father is like a steamed bun now, which is quite amusing to look at.
"Daddy, you're so good!" Little Su Bao said sweetly, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Tang Bugui wanted to laugh, but even the slightest movement aggravated the stings on his face.
Madam Qian looked at Xiao Su Bao's profile, her eyes filled with tenderness.
The little girl seems much happier now.
Tang Qi, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
I had only carried the little dumpling for a couple of steps before, and the little dumpling got scared, but now it's not scared at all, and it's even laughing.
"Mom, I'm a little jealous of Uncle!" Tang Qi said, grinning.
Mrs. Qian glanced at her son, then turned around and tapped him on the head.
"Don't you realize that your sister is your uncle's biological daughter? They have a good relationship, you should be happy for them!"
As if remembering something, Madam Qian's eyes flashed with a warning: "Don't you dare ruin their father-daughter relationship, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
Tang Qi wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't dare to speak.
Besides, I'm not that kind of person!
He sighed, shook his head, and ran off to play with Tang Si and the others.
As night fell, the stars twinkled in the sky, and the people sat around the fire.
The night in the mountains and forests was slightly cool, which made people feel quite comfortable.
“Things are much better in these mountains than in the village now!” Tang Cheng couldn’t help but say.
The water in their village is dwindling, and it's gotten even hotter these past few days. Although the villagers' lives are a little better than in other places, they're still not good enough.
Tang Cheng felt somewhat annoyed as he thought about these things.
A severe drought seems inevitable!
"That's right, it's much cooler in the mountains, and there's so much water!" Several villagers walked over with wet hair and smiles on their faces.
Everyone's been taking a proper shower lately, so this is a good time to finally get some.
"If only we could move here!" someone sighed and couldn't help but say.
Tang Cheng listened to their words with a sense of helplessness in his heart.
He wanted to, but it was impossible!
The people of Tangjia Village have lived here for generations; they can't just move away easily.
You're going to have bad luck, really bad luck!
The person who spoke was just saying a few words casually.
Just then, Qian frowned, feeling that something was strange about the forest today.
"A giant python, a black bear... a tiger... and a leopard..." Qian muttered to herself, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"Oh, right, and a herd of wild boars..."
Madam Qian raised her eyes, a hint of worry in them.
"Something must have really happened in the mountains. Otherwise, why would these wild beasts run down the mountain for no reason? We're already close to the outer edge of the mountain. There used to be no bears here!"
The Qian family used to live in the mountains, in a mountain village. She grew up running around in the mountains and knew almost everything about the mountains.
“Mother…” Tang Cheng looked at Madam Qian, who shook her head slightly, and the two of them did not say anything more.
A drought is inevitable, so water must be prepared beforehand.
Looking at the water here, Qian had an idea: "In order to prevent the water in the mountains from drying up, I think starting tomorrow, we should have every household come up the mountain to carry water down!"
Tang Cheng shared the same idea, and besides water, some wild vegetables could also be taken down with them.
While they were discussing things, Xiao Su Bao and Tang Bu Gui were already standing at the foot of a small mound.
Two gray, bird-like chickens were looking for food over there.
This is the flying dragon that Xiao Su Bao mentioned.
It is a type of chicken that can climb trees.
Little Su Bao has tried this, and it tastes great, especially when used in Dragon and Phoenix Soup.
"Daddy, be careful, these guys can fly!" Little Su Bao whispered in Tang Bugui's ear as she intently watched the flying dragon in front of her.
Tang Bugui looked at Xiao Su Bao, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Then, in the next instant, Tang Bugui rushed out.
Little Su Bao was so startled she almost screamed, but her foodie instincts made her cover her mouth in an instant, her eyes sparkling as she looked at what was in front of her.
"Chirp...chirp chirp..." The two dragons were about to take off, and their wings were already spread out.
If Tang Bugui gives them just two more breaths, they can run away.
However, at that moment, Tang Bugui reached out and instantly grabbed the two flying dragons.
Little Su Bao's eyes lit up.
"Daddy is so amazing!" the little dumpling exclaimed excitedly, her face turning bright red.
Tang Bugui's smile grew even wider as he looked at the little dumpling.
Just then, Xiao Su Bao saw a nest of eggs on the ground.
She was slightly taken aback, but at that moment, one of the eggshells moved, and then she saw a small dragon pok its head out of the eggshell.
This look is actually quite cute.
Tang Bugui glanced at the eggshell, then subconsciously turned back to look at the little bundle of milk in his arms.
The little girl stared intently at the few tiny creatures that had just hatched.
"Daddy, can I take these little guys home and raise them?"
Little Su Bao looked at Tang Bugui pitifully, her voice tinged with trepidation.
She didn't want it to be this way, but this cautiousness had become an instinct.
"Okay!" Tang Bugui said lightly, almost without the slightest hesitation.
Let alone raising chickens, even if my daughter wanted to raise a phoenix, I would have to give it a try.
"Thank you, Daddy! Daddy is so good! Su Bao loves Daddy so much!"
The little dumpling reached out and hugged Tang Bugui's leg.
The little dumpling is so tiny, soft, and adorable.
Every time Tang Bugui heard the little girl say that, his heart would soften a little, as if something had swept over his heart.
"Chirp chirp..." Just then, the little dumpling suddenly felt something under its feet.
She saw a small flying dragon dodge her and walk towards Tang Bugui's feet.
Before they could react, the little dragon jumped onto Tang Bugui's feet and started chirping.
Little Su Bao...
Tang Bugui!
Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of the father and daughter, one after another, baby dragons hatched and gathered at Tang Bugui's feet.
These little creatures, which were initially wet, quickly dried off as the temperature rose.
Surprisingly, none of the little dragons approached Little Su Bao.
It seemed that they only had eyes for Tang Bugui.
So when they returned, they found Tang Bugui followed by a group of chattering and hopping little dragons.
Ling Buqi was drinking water when he saw his general carrying something that looked like a pheasant, but he wasn't surprised.
But when he saw the swarm of wild chickens chasing Tang Bugui, he couldn't help but spit it out.
The third prince and the second prince stopped arguing and both looked up at each other.
At that moment, everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say.
It is worth noting that Tang Bugui's expression was extremely gentle.
"What... what's going on?" Princess Chang'an paused, looking at her older brother's unexpectedly adorable behavior, before finally turning her gaze to the chicks.
After Tang Bugui stopped, the chicks jumped around on his feet, looking incredibly cute.
"Haha, could it be that these chicks... think Brother Tang is their mother?"
Princess Chang'an said quietly, and after saying it, she felt that it should be impossible.
But as soon as he said that, Tang Bugui's expression changed slightly.
Seeing their expressions, Madam Qian immediately smiled.
"These baby dragons are probably newly hatched. They're a bit silly, so they usually take the first moving person or other animal they see after they're born as their parents." Qian Shi looked at this scene with a slight smile on her lips and a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"Oh, I see!" The three siblings, including the second prince, nodded in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Princess Chang'an grabbed one of the little flying dragons, her eyes sparkling.
"I wonder if the little guy will taste good when he grows up?"
The little girl was drooling, her eyes shining.
"Delicious!" Little Su Bao responded instinctively.
She glanced at Princess Chang'an and blinked her big eyes.
Worried that Princess Chang'an wouldn't believe her, Little Su Bao continued in her sweet, childish voice, "The dragon meat smells delicious!"
Princess Chang'an's heart softened slightly at the sight of the little girl's soft and adorable appearance, and she nodded in agreement.
"I think it tastes good too!"
Princess Chang'an chuckled, growing increasingly fond of the little Su Bao.
This little girl is really nice, she's just a bit too young, otherwise I could have introduced her to the Crown Prince as his wife!
She glanced at her second and third brothers out of the corner of her eye, then decisively shook her head.
No, second brother is stupid, third brother is cunning!
Such a beautiful girl shouldn't be wasted on them.
She glanced at herself, then her gaze unconsciously drifted downwards.
It's a pity I'm a girl, otherwise I could have married Xiao Su Bao.
"Oh, right! That Su Bao girl, if you don't mind, you can be my son-in-law in the future!"
The Female Imperial Son-in-Law!
She'd read stories about girls becoming princes-in-law!
The little girl's eyes lit up instantly.
Little Su Bao was taken aback, glanced at Princess Chang'an subconsciously, and then turned to look at her own father.
Tang Bugui's expression had turned sour. He narrowed his eyes and gave Princess Chang'an a chilling look.
Both father and daughter are eyeing their daughter; we need to be careful!
Thinking of this, Tang Bugui took a step back, his voice slightly cold: "Hmm, that's a good idea, but don't think about it again!"
After saying that, Tang Bugui directly blocked Xiao Su Bao and Princess Chang'an.
Princess Chang'an was not giving up. She stretched her head closer, her big eyes soft and cute.
She's become so thin she looks emaciated, and her eyes are too big, and her skin is a bit yellow!
Tang Bugui felt that things were getting worse and worse.
"Chang'an, stop fooling around!" The Second Prince came over and pulled the girl back from trying to bump into him.
He looked at the third child, then at Xiao Su Bao, and thought that at this age... it was still acceptable.
As for my younger sister...
What female consort? I'll find the best boy in the world to be her consort!
Looking at Xiao Su Bao, Qian couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She's so young, and she's already being targeted by the royal family...
What should we do next?
Madam Qian sighed inwardly, but said nothing more.
The third prince, who was standing to the side, seemed to sense something. He subconsciously glanced at the second prince and saw that his second brother was looking at him. He immediately took a step back.
The second brother is cunning and good at pretending; he can't be fooled by him.
"Third brother, what do you think of Xiao Su Bao? She's so beautiful, and she's also the eldest brother's daughter. If you marry her, and if something happens to the eldest brother in the future, and you become the emperor, she can become the empress. What a wonderful thing!" The second prince said to his third brother with the gentle smile that was typical of an elder brother.
He was completely different from the person who wanted to beat up the third brother before.
The wariness in the Third Prince's eyes became more and more obvious. He knew that the Second Prince had ill intentions. What was so good about the throne?
He'll live a carefree life as a prince, marrying whomever he wants and sleeping with whomever he wants...
Ahem, if one becomes emperor, then one's own destiny is no longer in control.
Besides!
The third prince disliked being emperor; it was too bitter, too tiring, and he had no freedom.
The palace looked luxurious, but it was just a big prison. It was incredibly difficult for the emperor to sneak out and have fun.
Besides, he had two older brothers, and he felt he didn't deserve them.
"Second brother, you can't say things like that... Not to mention that our father is in good health, even if he were not, there's still eldest brother, and if all else fails, there's still you. I'm too young to handle this!"
The third prince took a step back, his eyes becoming increasingly wary.
The second brother always has this look in his eyes when he's scheming against me!
"Heh, don't even think about it!" the Third Prince couldn't help but shout one last time.
The second prince touched his nose and looked at his third son, who was staring at him warily. Suddenly, he felt that his third son was no longer lovable.
If it were in the past, the third brother would definitely have happily called the second brother in front of him.
Alas, people's hearts have changed!
"Third brother, I'm doing this for your own good... Little Su Bao is... a very capable little girl!"
The second prince paused for a moment, then said sincerely.
Tang Bugui narrowed his eyes and rushed directly in front of the Second Prince in the next instant.
He reached out and grabbed the Second Prince by the back of his collar, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Big brother, I was wrong, big brother, I was just joking. Su Bao is my eldest niece, the third brother is too old, he's not worthy!"
The second prince shouted quickly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Tang Bugui's face was swollen, and his eyes were even squinting...
The main problem is that he can't open his eyes!
Then, without waiting for the second prince to speak again, she dragged him to a corner.
Princess Chang'an looked at her second brother, then at her third brother, and finally her gaze fell on the little baby in Madam Qian's arms.
She pursed her lips: "Su Bao, don't worry, I'm different from those stinky men. You'll be well taken care of if you become my husband!"
"Ah... but the prince consort is a man!" Little Su Bao's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say in her sweet, childish voice.
“That’s not necessarily true. Let me tell you, I once read a storybook where the woman was a female imperial consort. She was beautiful and skilled in martial arts!” Princess Chang’an’s eyes lit up as she excitedly said.
Little Su Bao listened with increasing interest.
As Madam Qian watched the two girls from the side, her eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but glance at Princess Chang'an.
She was dark-skinned and thin, with such big eyes; she looked even more pitiful than when Xiao Su Bao first arrived.
"Ahem, Su Bao, when we came, your third brother was carrying a small pot. This bear meat is delicious when stewed, especially the bear paws. I saw some bees around here, so we can stew them together!"
"Huh? Auntie, you can cook bear paws?" Princess Chang'an's eyes lit up instantly, and her mouth watered involuntarily.
They also ate bear paws in the palace every year, but she only got a small piece each time.
"I can make some. Back in my hometown, there was a descendant of an imperial chef who happened to know how to cook bear paws, so I learned a little bit!"
Ms. Qian said with a smile, and carried Xiao Su Bao to the side.
At this moment, Tang Qi and the villagers had already started smoking the bear meat.
I also boiled some water in the pot.
"Oh, I see... But my brother has it with Brother Tang, I'll go get it!"
Princess Chang'an's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked in the direction where her second brother had been taken away.
Little Su Bao looked at Princess Chang'an and thought that this princess seemed quite interesting.
"Mother, do you think a girl can be a prince consort?" Little Su Bao turned to look at Madam Qian and asked with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Madam Qian paused, reached out and stroked Xiao Su Bao's head, then said seriously, "Isn't our Su Bao going to be a prime minister? If he becomes a prince consort, he can't be a prime minister!"
Little Su Bao's face showed some confusion, and her brows furrowed.
She wants to be the prime minister!
Prince Consort!
She heard Lan Xin'er say that it was a very powerful existence!
"Then let Su Bao become the prime minister..."
Little Su Bao took a deep breath and said in a sweet, babyish voice.
Upon hearing this, Madam Qian was immediately relieved. Although neither of them were very reliable, she still felt that the young girl would be better suited to be a prime minister than a female consort.
The third prince, who was standing to the side, twitched his lips as he listened to their conversation.
However, his gaze soon fell on something not far away.
Princess Chang'an has returned, but she doesn't look well.
"It's terrible!" she said quietly, looking up at the darkening sky.
But if you look closely, you'll notice that the little girl's eyes are actually filled with excitement.
He didn't look unhappy at all; he was practically bursting with excitement.
She simply walked silently to Xiaohua with her head down, and then excitedly began to tell her what she had seen.
Little Su Bao blinked as she looked at Princess Chang'an, who had two different faces.
She didn't understand why, even though they both had two faces, Princess Chang'an wasn't unlikeable, but Lan Xin'er...
Thinking of Lan Xin'er, Xiao Su Bao felt for some reason that she seemed to have heard Lan Xin'er calling her that day.
At this moment, in a house in Lan County, Lan Xin'er lay on the ground, her face ashen.
"You...scare you...why!" she said with difficulty, but because the medicine had damaged her throat, her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"That sound is awful!" a man couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's alright, we don't need her voice. Didn't she say she's Magistrate Lan's sister? We're just using her identity!"
A man spoke casually, tearing Lan Xin'er's clothes open as he did so.
