Chapter 43 Kissing the Precious Emperor
"It is my fault for not thinking it through."
The Queen Mother didn't know what the Emperor was up to and why he suddenly got angry. Could it be that he wanted to use this to punish the Ji family...
Emperor Wu Su's gaze fell on the bent neck of the woman in the hall. The lines of her neck were soft and graceful, but the head above her neck was very serious.
When they met in the carriage that day, he ordered her to go to the princess's mansion three days later, because he wanted her to reject the appointment with Li Chengxun.
But the next day, she went to Qiao's house again to meet him.
Everyone saw that Emperor Wu Su's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, and the pressure from him was so great that many people began to sweat on their backs.
At this moment, the kneeling Ji family members all lowered their heads and waited for the emperor's decision, but there was one little boy who could not kneel any longer.
Seeing A Niang kneeling in the front, Jiujiu stood up and ran over happily.
Ji Qingwu suddenly saw the little girl passing by her out of the corner of her eye. She widened her eyes in panic and wanted to reach out and grab Jiujiu.
But this little guy is very agile and climbs up several steps very quickly.
Ji Qingwu didn't care about etiquette. He raised his head and saw Jiujiu rushing to the seat of Emperor Wu Su.
Fortunately, at this time, Jiujiu turned around and looked at her. Ji Qingwu held his breath, shook his head at the little girl, and asked her to come back quickly.
But Jiujiu has his own ideas.
Even worse than Ji Qingwu.
She used her tiny hands and feet to pull at Emperor Wu Su's dragon robe and continued to climb up, but she was too weak to climb up, so she just hung on Emperor Wu Su's legs, her little carrot legs dangling.
Ji Qingwu suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes.
The chief eunuch Li Yuzong should have stopped the child when she climbed onto the stage, but when the girl appeared in front of the emperor, he found that the emperor looked slightly surprised, but not displeased.
He raised his eyebrows barely noticeably.
Seeing the dirty little hand crawling on the ground and touching the emperor's dragon robe, Li Yuzong's heart tightened, but Emperor Wu Su, who always loved cleanliness, did not react.
Manager Li looked up and down, pondered for several times, and finally figured out the secret.
At first he thought that the girl looked very much like Little Prince Yuan Heng, but upon closer thought, who did Little Prince Yuan Heng look like?
Resembles Emperor Wu Su!
Looking more closely, the girl's face, except for the eyebrows, the outline and chin, is exactly the same as the emperor's.
Li Yuzong's eyes rolled around, and when he looked at Ji Qingwu who was kneeling in the hall, he finally understood the abnormal behavior of the emperor during these days.
He lowered his head, pretending not to see.
Here, Jiujiu was hanging on Emperor Wu Su's legs, with her soft little face tilted up.
The black eyes looked at him and said, "Are you the Emperor? Why are you so mean to my mother?"
Emperor Wu Su lowered his eyes and looked at her eyes, which were exactly the same as the eyes of the woman kneeling in front of the hall.
"She made a mistake."
The emperor's tone was relatively calm.
Ji Qingwu, who didn't know what he had done wrong, also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Jiujiu immediately disagreed: "Mother is right!"
How dare her daughter act like a judge in front of the emperor!
Ji Qingwu's tone became more angry again.
Jiujiu has been going to school these days, and after being enlightened, he has understood more principles.
"Although the Queen Mother is in good health, I want her health to be better, so I sent her a prescription."
"Just like your majesty's Lin'an City is already very good, but you still go to bed late and get up early every day. You work so hard to make Lin'an City better."
This analogy of intercession makes a lot of sense.
Emperor Wu Su suppressed his smile and said in a cold tone, "So, I misunderstood your mother?"
The little guy started shaking his head again, talking about big truths.
"The Master said that words are the voice of the heart and language is the expression of emotions. Communication can help us understand people's minds and resolve misunderstandings."
Emperor Wu Su picked her up and let her sit on his lap. He asked in a deep voice, "You are so smart at such a young age. What's your name?"
Jiujiu was not afraid of strangers at all. She followed the force and leaned into his broad arms.
"My name is—" She lip-synced and pouted: "Jiujiu."
Emperor Wu Su asked: "Why is it called this name?"
Jiujiu twisted her little fingers, as if she was very conflicted. Emperor Wu Su asked again patiently.
The chubby little girl raised her face, put her arms around the emperor's neck, and put her pink little mouth close to him.
With a "baji" sound.
He kissed the precious emperor's left cheek firmly.
The breathing in the hall became lighter.
When the little girl's kiss fell, Emperor Wu Su raised his left eyebrow and his eyes brightened a little.
Jiujiu explained: "My mother said that when she called my name, it was like a kiss."
Her name means kiss, so she gave His Majesty the Emperor a kiss.
The little girl continued proudly: "My mother also said that no one would not love Jiujiu!"
Sweat oozed from Ji Qingwu's fair forehead.
But I, your mother, didn’t ask you to just kiss anyone!
"Ms. Ji."
Ji Qingwu looked up when he heard the voice.
Emperor Wu Su hugged the little girl's round body, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and said quietly: "You gave birth to a good daughter."
The matter was settled after a lot of fuss. The emperor took the prescription and did not pursue the matter further. During the banquet, he drank a few glasses of wine with Prince Yong and other relatives with great interest.
The birthday gift given by Emperor Wu Su was lavish.
There are nine statues of the Buddha of Infinite Life hanging in the air with the Sun of Wisdom, a picture of the Avatamsaka Heart Mirror inscribed in ink with the symbol of Lianzang Guangming, and a copy of the Amitabha Sutra in golden characters, all of which are rare treasures that are hard to find in the world.
The Queen Mother was confused by the Emperor's behavior. She had just angrily reprimanded Ji Jia. She picked it up heavily, but put it down gently.
Now that such a valuable gift had been presented, no one was sure of the emperor's intention. The Empress Dowager did not say much during the meal, while Princess Qingyun was looking towards a certain position at the table with a shy smile on her face.
Ji Qingwu had no appetite at this birthday banquet.
There are some questions that if you ask, you will lose your head, and if you don’t ask, you will have a headache.
When the banquet was over, she came back to her senses only after Qiao reminded her.
When he stood up and walked out of the hall, he saw two people standing at the door. The petite woman was saying something with a sweet smile, and the person opposite was Li Chengxun.
When Ji Qingwu approached, he found that the woman was Princess Qingyun.
The princess also noticed her. Whether it was intentional or not, she suddenly fell on Li Chengxun, with her small hands on the man's chest.
She said in a tender voice, "Master Li, I didn't stand steadily for a moment. My ankle hurts. Can you take me back?"
After Li Chengxun helped her stand steadily, he gently rejected her and said, "Princess, this is unreasonable."
Ji Qingwu:......
She walked past the two of them silently, pretending not to see them.
"Fifth cousin!"
Princess Qingyun called out from behind her. She could no longer pretend to be blind and had to stop.
"Aunt, please go ahead. I want to chat with my fifth cousin. I'll ask the palace maid to send my cousin home in person later."
Since the princess had spoken so politely, Mrs. Qiao patted Ji Qingwu's hand and left with Jiujiu.
No matter how slow-witted Ji Qingwu was, she could sense the princess' hostility towards her because she also fell in love with the talented and handsome man in front of her.
Ji Qingwu didn't want to argue, but she and Li Chengxun had an agreement, and she would not give in just because the other party was a princess.
Princess Qingyun stood between her and Li Chengxun and said provocatively, "Fifth cousin, I heard a rumor recently and I want to confirm it with you."
rumor? Most of the time, it is a matter of two people discussing marriage.
Before Ji Qingwu could say anything, Li Chengxun bowed and said, "Princess and Miss Ji have something to discuss. I will leave first."
She looked at him leaving with a look of surprise.
The man in white no longer looked elegant, but instead looked a little flustered.
Princess Qingyun smiled more and more proudly, and her feet no longer hurt.
"Fifth cousin, there are too many people here, let's go for a walk by the lake."
It doesn't matter if you leave.
Half an incense stick later, news came that someone had fallen into the water.
