Chapter 456 He's just a child, you adults are bullying him too much!
Little Su Bao was startled and instinctively tried to get up.
But what I saw was Wang Mingtian's old face.
A pair of red eyes looked at Xiao Su Bao with a half-smile.
The gold glint in the little dumpling's eyes seemed about to disappear...
"Wait!" Wang Mingtian's lips twitched. Why did this ancestor always run away so fast?
"Shall we make a deal?" Wang Mingtian closed the door, blocking the little dumpling's view as she kept peeking out.
Little Su Bao frowned, gave a soft hum, and seemed a little unhappy.
Wang Mingtian chuckled and took something out of his pocket.
Little Su Bao was taken aback, then took a step back.
"Old man, don't go too far!"
Xiao Su Bao's voice was clearly very childish, yet it sounded somewhat fierce.
Wang Mingtian wasn't angry. He said, "Chaos is about to break out. If you come down here, you can't just sit back and not put in some effort!"
Little Su Bao pursed her lips, looked at Wang Mingtian, then at the things in his hands, and finally sat down on the ground with a thud.
"They're just kids, you adults are bullying them!"
As Xiao Su Bao spoke, she suddenly burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Wang Mingtian remained unmoved; after all, not a single tear had fallen!
Moreover, he knew that this ancestor always did this...
Little Su Bao's golden eyes sparkled as she secretly glanced at Wang Mingtian. Seeing that the latter was still looking at her with a cunning expression, Little Su Bao immediately became unhappy.
"You old man, I finally made it all this way, can't you let me have an easy time? They're still young, not even adults yet... You guys are so heartless!"
Little Su Bao's golden eyes blinked, then she reached out and handed it over: "Here you go, here you go. Let me tell you, you have to make it up to me, otherwise... I'll be at a huge loss!"
She's still so young, and she's terrified of pain!
Wang Mingtian reached out and ruffled Xiao Su Bao's hair, then took out a dagger...
"Old man, don't go too far, you don't need so much!"
Little Su Bao got angry and roared fiercely.
Wang Mingtian didn't want to either, but... it wouldn't work!
He paused for a moment, then realized he had changed something.
The original dagger was replaced with a silver needle.
Little Su Bao...
"Old man, you should use the dagger. I don't want a shot, it hurts so much!" Little Su Bao looked at Wang Mingtian pitifully, her voice even a few decibels lower.
Wang Mingtian readily agreed, gently cutting open Xiao Su Bao's fingertip and placing the white round stone from his hand onto it.
In an instant, the originally white round stone slowly turned pink, with faint golden currents flowing across it.
As the light pink intensified, Xiao Su Bao's complexion became even paler.
Wang Mingtian was about to take the stone down, but Xiao Subao muttered to herself and gripped the stone even tighter.
"I used it all, all at once! Honestly, I just came out for a walk to clear my head, and I had to run into you, you old geezer! Waaah, I'm going to be asleep for a very, very long time this time!"
As Xiao Su Bao spoke, she yawned, but the golden light in her eyes grew increasingly dim.
It wasn't until Xiao Su Bao almost fainted that she returned the red-turned stone to Wang Mingtian.
Faintly, you can see a small golden fish swimming around on the red stone.
"You... take good care of me... or when I get better, I'll pluck all your beard off!"
Xiao Su Bao threatened Wang Mingtian, and the golden light in her eyes instantly disappeared.
He quickly hugged the little baby.
The little dumpling looked confused for a moment, then looked at Wang Mingtian.
"Master~" the little dumpling called out in a soft voice.
"Yes, Master is here, Su Bao is alright!"
Wang Mingtian looked at Xiao Su Bao and his heart softened.
Sure enough, the little dumpling is cuter right now, as for what happened just now...
Never mind, that's just a little guy too!
Wang Mingtian gently rubbed Xiao Su Bao's head and said in a soft voice, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback and subconsciously glanced at her fingers.
Although her finger is healed now, she still feels that something is wrong!
Little Su Bao, however, was very obedient and didn't ask any questions.
Wang Mingtian paused, then sighed and said, "Just now I..."
“Master… Su Bao is alright, Su Bao is fine, it’s just a little blood, Su Bao can do it, Su Bao doesn’t feel pain!” Little Su Bao looked up with a smile on her face.
Little Su Bao likes her master, and she knows that her master is good to her.
Wang Mingtian felt a pang of pain in his heart.
When it came to that guy, Wang Mingtian felt a little sorry for him, but not much. But when faced with Xiao Su Bao's appearance...
Wang Mingtian sighed and said gently, "Your body..."
"You old bastard, if you dare tell her, I'll kill you!" Xiao Su Bao's eyes suddenly changed, and she roared fiercely at Wang Mingtian.
I've already bled so much blood, and this old man is still selling me.
However, Wang Mingtian simply looked at Xiao Su Bao with her golden pupils, his eyes filled with a strange persistence.
"I don't want to see my little disciple sad!" Wang Mingtian said in a low voice.
Little Su Bao with golden eyes instantly bristled and almost raised her hand to give Wang Mingtian a good beating!
Am I not a child anymore?
Who was the shameless person who just asked me for blood?
What's wrong? You're just using it and then throwing it away?!
Xiao Su Bao almost lost her temper, but when she saw Wang Mingtian's clear yet annoying eyes, she finally said nothing more.
Forget it, why bother arguing with someone like that?
He has no heart, or if he did, it wouldn't be with him!
"Don't go too far. She and I are one. She is my other side, and I am her other side. When we merge, we become the real me!"
Little Su Bao muttered to herself, but the golden pupils eventually disappeared.
Wang Mingtian looked at the bewildered little baby in his arms and sighed.
"Alright, take your medicine and rest for a while!" Wang Mingtian gently put a pill into Xiao Su Bao's mouth and said in a gentle voice.
Little Su Bao glanced at Wang Mingtian, obediently took the medicine, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Wang Mingtian placed his hand on the little dumpling's back, and streams of energy flowed from his hand into the little dumpling's body.
The little dumpling's condition is improving rapidly.
Seeing that it was almost time, Wang Mingtian quietly left the room.
Outside, Tang Shan and Qi Meng were embracing and kissing, a scene witnessed by Qian Shi and Wang Xiuer.
Qian almost swallowed her tongue, and instinctively turned around to cover Wang Xiuer's mouth.
The two left quietly, and Qian then pulled the gate to the courtyard closed.
“Mother…” Wang Xiuer swallowed hard, then couldn’t help but look behind her.
"Don't talk to me, I want to be left alone!"
Qian gritted her teeth; she was clearly not feeling well.
After all, it would be strange if she could get better from something like this!
The third brother is outrageous! The girl isn't even married to him yet, how can he be so disrespectful to her?
If Qi Meng's father finds out that he has ruined someone's reputation, will his son have a good outcome?
How could the third brother...
"Mother, the third son is young and hot-blooded, please don't take it to heart!"
Wang Xiuer couldn't help but speak up for her brother.
Qian glared at Wang Xiuer, then gritted her teeth and went directly to find Tang Bugui.
Anyone could see how good the Emperor and Empress were to Tang Bugui.
The Qian family finally understood that sometimes, if you have the power, you shouldn't lend it; if you miss the deadline, you won't get another chance.
This third son!
Wang Xiuer wanted to go back and take another look, learn from it, and then try it out with her second son!
Unexpectedly, she was grabbed by Qian and dragged away.
The commotion outside was quite loud, and the two people inside instantly woke up.
Qi Meng's entire face turned bright red; she realized her tongue was still between Tang Shan's lips...
Tang Shan's face turned bright red, simply because one of his hands was currently on Qi Meng's butt!
Tang Shan suddenly felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
Does he want to remove his hand now, or does he want to remove his hand?
"You idiot, let go of me!"
Qi Meng's cheeks flushed red, and she almost flew up on the spot.
What on earth is going on here?!
The memory of what had just happened assaulted her; the thought of how she had taken the initiative made her feel terrible.
but……
To be honest, Tang Shan's kisses actually felt pretty good...
Moreover, when he kissed Tang Shan, he felt a warm sensation in his lower abdomen.
It feels like someone is gently stroking your lower abdomen!
Tang Shan stood there awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.
Looking at Qi Meng's slightly swollen lips from his kisses, he felt inexplicably guilty.
However, this guilty conscience quickly turned into depression.
"Hurry up, let's get married soon!" Qi Meng suddenly hugged Tang Shan and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Tang Shan was taken aback. He looked up, wanting to say something, when he saw the little girl run back to her room.
Tang Shan stood there, grinning foolishly.
On the wall, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and Princess Chang'an all stared wide-eyed.
Qi Meng has always been different from others, but now...
The second and third princes both looked at their younger sister.
"Chang'an, you mustn't learn from that girl Qi Meng, you know?"
The second prince spoke earnestly to his younger sister.
The third prince paused, and unusually, did not refute, but nodded in agreement.
"Second brother is right!"
Princess Chang'an was engrossed in watching the show when she heard her two brothers talking like that, and she immediately became displeased.
She snorted and said in a very disdainful tone, "It's Tang Shan's good fortune that Sister Qi likes Tang Shan. Why is it wrong for Sister Qi to pursue her own happiness?"
"Besides, it was clearly Tang Shan who initiated the kiss on Sister Qi, not Sister Qi who initiated it!"
Princess Chang'an still defended Qi Meng in front of her own brother.
The second prince wanted to say something, but didn't know how.
It was the Third Prince who spoke up: "Sister, the ancients were right. A man's infatuation can be explained, but a woman's infatuation cannot. A man will give you anything he likes, but if he changes his mind, he will leave just as quickly!"
"But women are different. If a woman likes a man, she falls head over heels and it's very difficult for her to extricate herself!"
Princess Chang'an paused slightly, thinking that nowadays men can have three wives and four concubines, while women are mostly expected to follow their husbands wherever they go.
Although the Shang Dynasty encouraged women to remarry, the deeply ingrained ideas of the previous dynasty were difficult to change in a short time.
"Okay, I understand. Besides, I am a princess. If the person I like bullies me, I will ask my brothers to help me beat her to death!"
After Princess Chang'an finished speaking, she couldn't help but think of Tang Erbao.
Speaking of which, although that guy is not good with words, he seems quite honest and simple.
They probably won't bully me...
The Second Prince and the Third Prince were immediately alarmed when they saw their sister's face turn slightly red.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with tension.
"Little sister, what are you thinking about?" the Second Prince asked somewhat nervously.
"It's nothing, it's alright, I'm going back to sleep!"
After saying that, the little girl took off running, leaving behind her shiny bald head in the moonlight.
The second prince watched his younger sister's retreating figure, gritting his teeth and muttering, "This is bad! I think our family's precious cabbage is about to be eaten by some unknown pig!"
The Third Prince's eyes darkened, and he said in a cool tone, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things!"
This was the first time the two brothers had been so aligned on their goals.
Little Mo Bao, who was hiding on the other side, twitched his ears slightly and glanced at the Second Prince and the others.
After drinking a little, he turned back to look at the house to make sure that Xiao Su Bao was alright before quietly leaving.
That night was extremely hot!
Early in the morning, Xiao Su Bao instinctively opened her eyes.
Suddenly, the little dumpling saw a person in front of it.
"Sister Qi, what's wrong...?"
Qi Meng's eyes were full of blue, but her eyes were unusually bright.
She heard Xiao Su Bao call her name, and her lips, which were upturned, looked bright red.
"Su Bao, you're awake! Come and have some water!" Qi Meng walked over with a water glass, and as she spoke, she was about to feed the little dumpling water.
The little guy quickly shook his head, his babyish voice carrying a hint of nervousness.
"No...no need..."
After saying that, Xiao Su Bao seemed to remember something and said, "Su Bao is alright now, thank you, Sister Qi!"
Qi Meng paused, then reached out and patted Xiao Su Bao's head.
"Good girl, from now on don't call me Sister Qi, call me Third Sister-in-law!"
Little Su Bao...
She vaguely remembered that she had secretly seen Sister Qi and Third Brother kissing.
The little dumpling's cheeks flushed slightly, and then it nodded very seriously.
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law! You're so kind!"
Qi Meng was overjoyed.
On the other side, General Qi's eyes widened immediately after seeing a message sent by carrier pigeon.
The emperor ran away with the empress...
He clutched his chest, then carefully read the following text.
What!
His daughter also ran away and became a bandit!
I've found another partner!
this……
General Qi glanced at the letter in his hand, his face darkened, and he paced back and forth in the room.
He spent his entire life on the battlefield, but he only had one wife and one daughter.
General Qi felt a pang of sympathy when he thought about his daughter's ordeal.
After thinking for a moment, he selected more than a hundred soldiers and left the capital under the cover of night.
General Qi's actions were noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
In the palace...
The Crown Prince finished reviewing the last few memorials.
He stretched and thought, "This emperor is simply inhuman!"
It's a pity that all the laborers have run away, otherwise I could have shared some of these tasks.
Thinking of something, the Crown Prince said, "Guards!"
The young eunuch hurried in, looking respectfully at his crown prince.
"Has anything interesting happened in the capital these past few days?"
The crown prince leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat listless.
The young eunuch immediately recounted the events that had transpired in the capital over the past few days to his master, the Crown Prince.
After listening, the crown prince rubbed his chin and then sat up straight.
"So, Bai suffered a miscarriage and was kicked out?" the Crown Prince asked gossipy.
"yes!"
The young eunuch kept his head down, ignoring the crown prince's gaze.
"Sigh, this granddaughter-in-law is not as good as the old one..."
The crown prince muttered to himself.
After all, it's quite something that Madam Nalan has managed to seduce the Emperor's brother-in-law!
"Your Highness, our men just sent word that General Qi has left the capital, saying he's gone to find his daughter!" The young eunuch thought for a moment and then added.
Crown Prince...
"They've all gone looking for their daughters, leaving me all alone, without a wife, huh!"
"Oh well, it's my fault for being in poor health!"
The crown prince sighed, got up and walked to the window, his eyes filled with anticipation.
No... should he go to the ancestral temple to pray?
Thinking about what happened last time, the Crown Prince felt inexplicably uneasy.
Oh well, I won't go and join in the fun!
The crown prince was a little sad.
"Your Highness, news has come from General Tang Bugui!" Just then, an old eunuch walked in, bowing slightly and looking at the Crown Prince.
"Let me see it!"
The prince, who had been feeling somewhat sad, suddenly became very agitated.
The young eunuch standing to the side twitched slightly, but ultimately said nothing.
The main problem is that no matter what I say, it's useless!
"Haha, I didn't expect this... I really didn't expect this!"
The prince's smile was absolutely delightful.
The young eunuch and the old eunuch exchanged a glance, then pretended not to know anything.
Sure enough, only the Great General can cure the Crown Prince's unhappiness!
They really hoped that Tang Bugui would return to the capital as soon as possible.
"Alright, you can all go now. By the way, I saw someone putting up those non-existent memorials again today."
Go ask those old fogies in the Secretariat, are they planning to work me to death so they can get a new crown prince?
The old eunuch bowed his head in agreement, then turned and left with his young apprentice.
As he watched them leave, the prince's smile deepened.
Qi Meng actually took a liking to a farm boy, even though that boy was Tang Bugui's nephew...
But he's just a farmer!
There are still quite a few families in the capital waiting to get engaged to Qi Meng!
This is really interesting!
As the crown prince pondered these thoughts, the smile in his eyes grew even wider.
"I hope they're having a good time over there!"
The crown prince smiled, then returned to his Eastern Palace with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, everyone in the Tang family's house frowned even more deeply.
Fulin came to the village, and he brought bad news.
"I never imagined things would turn out this badly!"
Madam Qian frowned, her eyes showing a hint of worry.
"Ah, that's right. When drought strikes, no one can survive. Now that the autumn harvest is over, if taxes are collected, the people will really not be able to live!"
Fulin pursed his lips and spoke seriously.
He came here to beg His Majesty to reduce the taxes here.
In fact, disaster relief might be necessary, otherwise all these people would probably be heading to the capital.
The emperor looked at Fulin, then glanced at his two sons beside him, whose faces were serious.
He said to Tang Bugui, "You and the second brother handle this matter. Third brother, don't just sit idle. Take some men and see if there are any corrupt officials in our Great Shang Dynasty. Drag them out and fill the granaries!"
The emperor's voice carried a murderous aura.
Everyone looked over and agreed.
Just then, a commotion arose at the door.
Lan Feng has arrived.
He looked even worse; his face was sallow and he looked disheveled.
"Your subject, Lanfeng, requests an audience!"
Lan Feng bowed to the guards at the entrance of the Tang family's residence.
The guards did not let Lan Feng in; instead, one person went in to announce his arrival.
Meanwhile, in the Tang family courtyard, Xiao Su Bao was playing with her friends.
She seemed to sense something, and the little dumpling subconsciously turned her head to look over.
She paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation on her face.
"Uncle...Young Master Lan..."
Xiao Su Bao stood up and gently called out to Lan Feng.
Lan Feng's expression changed slightly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.
"Lord Lan, our master invites you in!" a eunuch said to Lan Feng as he came out.
Lan Feng nodded and followed the eunuch inside. As he passed Xiao Su Bao, he took out an oil paper package from his pocket.
"This is your mother's favorite walnut shortbread, have a taste!"
Without saying a word, Lan Feng stuffed a bag of walnut shortbread into Xiao Su Bao's arms.
Little Su Bao was taken aback, but instinctively caught the walnut shortbread.
She looked at Lan Feng, then at the thing in her arms, and opened her mouth to move, but Lan Feng was no longer visible.
Fu Manduo walked up to Xiao Su Bao and put his hand on the little dumpling's shoulder.
"My good friend, are you unhappy? If you don't like Lord Lan, I'll help you deal with him!"
Fu Manduo chuckled and immediately began muttering to himself.
Little Su Bao was taken aback. She didn't dislike her uncle, but she didn't like him very much either.
It's because Uncle doesn't like Su Bao...
Little Su Bao looked at the walnut shortbread in her hand, a strange emotion flickering in her eyes.
"Then forget it. But don't think too much about it. The most important thing in life is to be happy!" Fu Manduo said cheerfully, his eyes shining brightly.
It has to be said that this little girl is like a little sun, no matter what.
Little Su Bao nodded. Looking at the walnut cookies, she eventually picked them up and shared them with her friends.
"Let's go play in the back mountain. I heard that Uncle Wang's grandson caught two pheasants yesterday!"
Just then, a Tang Sanbao-like figure drooled as he spoke.
Lin Qiqi heard Tang Sanbao's voice as soon as she entered the room, and her eyes showed a hint of joy.
She also wanted to ask Tang Sanbao and the others if they wanted to go to the mountains.
She had a keen sense that she could find something good by going into the mountains today.
“I also think today is a good day to go into the mountains.” Lin Qiqi brought over some steamed buns she had made at home, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Su Bao.
"Sister Qiqi!" Little Su Bao was very happy to see Lin Qiqi.
Lin Qiqi and her mother look somewhat alike, and Xiao Su Bao thinks she likes her very much.
"Qiqi, you've come!"
Tang Sanbao trotted over, his eyes shining.
The marriage between Lin Qiqi and Tang Sanbao has now been arranged.
Although he has several older brothers, Tang Sanbao is from the Tang Qi family, so he is not involved.
"Have you eaten yet? My dad and the others made a lot of steamed buns, have a taste!"
As the little girl spoke, the smile in her eyes grew even wider.
Tang Sanbao chuckled, scratching his head, and said, "Oh, then you thank our father for me!"
Lin Qiqi blushed slightly, but still nodded.
Fu Manduo and the others were all smiling, and Su Ruanruan found them increasingly amusing as she looked at them.
Indeed, when it comes to judging relationships, you have to look at the children.
Look how cute these little guys are!
