Sisi could tell from the Emperor's expression that he had something to say. "Your Majesty, is something the matter is? If so, please speak."
Yes, there is something to discuss. However, "Didn't you come to give me a gift? What gift are you giving me?" Although she is lovely, he can't just come up to her and tell her to persuade her husband to take a concubine.
Sisi looked at the Emperor and said two words: "Imperial Seal".
The surroundings fell silent instantly.
After a long while, the Emperor looked at Sisi and asked, "Is the Imperial Seal in your hands?" Did his son already know that the Imperial Seal was in this little girl's hands, which is why he insisted on marrying her? That's why he let her hit him and dislike him?
"No. The imperial seal is in my friend's hands. My friend is too timid to come himself."
"..." Would someone with no guts dare to take the imperial seal? "Where is your friend now?"
"Outside the hall."
"Let him in."
"good."
Sisi went out and brought Lao Bai in.
Old Bai knelt down and gave the Emperor a grand salute. "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Lao Bai stood up, the Emperor was taken aback. This man… could he be a fraud? “Sixth Brother, have you ever seen the Imperial Seal?”
"I've met you."
Where did you meet?
“There was an imperial edict in my family before.”
The Emperor was even more convinced that Sisi had been tricked by Lao Bai. They had searched for so long without finding it, so how come the Imperial Seal suddenly appeared as soon as Xiao Liu returned? This man probably just wanted to swindle money from Xiao Liu because of his young age. He never expected that Xiao Liu would bring him directly to the palace to find him.
The Emperor looked at Lao Bai coldly and said, "Take out your imperial seal."
Old Bai was taken aback. What was this old guy's attitude? "Little Six?"
Sisi rolled her eyes inwardly. Did she look like an idiot? "Don't be afraid, give it to me."
"Oh." Old Bai took out the jade seal and gave it to Sisi.
Sisi took the imperial seal and walked up to the emperor, placing it on the table.
The Emperor originally intended to simply glance at him and then order the Imperial Guards to drag Old Bai out and execute him. But...
The Emperor looked at the Imperial Seal, then at Old Bai, then back again. How could the Imperial Seal have fallen into the hands of such a person!
Sisi rolled her eyes inwardly again. Was there really any need to be so surprised? "Your Majesty, is this imperial seal genuine?"
The Emperor touched the imperial seal. "It's real." Although one could be emperor without the imperial seal, having it was better, more reassuring. With it, he was ordained by Heaven and was the rightful Son of Heaven.
"Then I'm relieved. I was afraid I was mistaken." Sisi looked at the Emperor with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I told my friend that if this imperial seal is real, you will definitely grant him a hereditary title."
The eunuchs in the hall: "..." You're really direct.
The Emperor: "..." This child is good, so innocent. Unlike his son, who's always trying to outsmart him. "You're right. What title do you think I should bestow upon him?"
Sisi tilted her head and thought for a while. "Let's reward him with an earldom. Too high and people won't be convinced, too low and it will make the imperial seal seem unimportant."
The Emperor thought Sisi's words made a lot of sense. "Very well, I will grant him the title of Earl."
"It's hereditary."
"Hereditary."
Sisi gave the Emperor a sweet smile. "Your Majesty, you're so kind. My friend didn't dare come alone. Old Bai, aren't you going to thank me?"
Old Bai bowed deeply to the Emperor. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Rise." The Emperor looked at Old Bai curiously and asked, "How did you obtain the Imperial Seal?"
Old Bai: "I found it."
The Emperor: "..." Never mind, as long as we find the Imperial Seal, that's fine.
Sisi: "Old Bai, you have to talk about the Emperor."
"Oh. Your Majesty, I found it."
The Emperor smiled. "You are very lucky. I have not yet rewarded the meritorious officials. I will formally confer upon you the title of Earl when I do so."
"Your Majesty, yes."
"Hahahaha... Little Six, what title do you want me to bestow upon him?" The Emperor now finds Sisi particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Uncle Xiaoyao. My friend likes to play."
"Very well, I will bestow upon him the title of Earl of Xiaoyao."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Old Bai bowed deeply to the Emperor again. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
"Hahahaha... Rise."
No sooner had the Emperor finished speaking than Ning Yirong's voice came from outside. "Father, what makes you so happy?"
"You'll see when you come in."
A moment later, Ning Yirong came in.
After entering, Ning Yirong pretended not to know that Sisi had come: "So it's Xiao Liu who's here."
Xiao Liu ignored Ning Yirong.
The Emperor pointed to the imperial seal on the table and laughed, "Not only has Xiao Liu come, but the imperial seal has also returned."
Ning Yirong laughed upon hearing this. He should have known better. "Little Six, you're truly our family's lucky star."
Xiao Liu glanced at Ning Yirong. Even if you said I was your family's ancestor, I wouldn't repeat the same mistake. "Your Majesty, we're leaving now. You have other matters to attend to."
"Why are you leaving so soon? Rong'er, take Xiao Liu for a stroll in the Imperial Garden."
"Okay. Xiao Liu, let's go."
Let's go then, who's afraid of who?
After Sisi, Ning Yirong, and Lao Bai left, the Emperor remembered that he thought Sisi was cute and easy to talk to, so he wanted Sisi to persuade Ning Yirong to take a concubine and have a grandson born out of wedlock.
The emperor touched the imperial seal, deciding to wait a while before making a decision, as the seal had just been returned to him.
On the other side, the Empress Dowager and the Empress also knew that Sisi had come and that she had come to deliver the imperial seal.
Just as Sisi and Ning Yirong arrived at the Imperial Garden, the Empress Dowager and the Empress arrived.
The Empress Dowager looked at Sisi and said with a smile, "Rong'er, who is this little girl? She's so pretty." No wonder her grandson insisted on marrying her.
