Chapter 8 Why does my cheap dad look at my mom like this? Like a pervert
Concubine Li hurriedly said, "Since you are here, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"
The tenth and eleventh princes were stunned. Empress Li actually let them in for tea?
Could they have heard it wrong?
You have to understand that when they met Empress Li before, they were never given tea and were always scolded.
"What are you all standing there for? Come in quickly?" Concubine Li asked again.
"..." They really didn't hear it wrong. Empress Li was really inviting them in, and Empress Li didn't seem to hate them so much anymore.
They smiled and followed Concubine Li into the house.
Concubine Li had tea and pastries served, which were the two princes' favorite flavors.
The two princes were eating, and they were deeply moved. "Empress Li, I thought you... you... never liked us?"
"How could that be true?" Concubine Li said, "I have been in the cold palace for three years, and have experienced the ups and downs. I know who is good and who is bad. You two are very good. Before, I was..."
"Empress Li." The Tenth Prince couldn't bear to hear Concubine Li's self-blame, so he interrupted her and said, "We were ignorant before and always made Empress Li unhappy. We won't do that again in the future."
The eleventh prince also said: "Yes, yes, yes."
After hearing this, Concubine Li's nose felt sore and she felt even more guilty. These two children were so good, why didn't she like them before? She was really short-sighted and bewildered.
"This is my eighteenth brother, Jiujiu, right?" The tenth prince looked at Jiujiu in surprise. "She is so pretty, delicate and graceful, just like Empress Li."
The eleventh prince said excitedly: "Empress Li, can I hug Jiujiu?"
After saying this, he felt something was wrong. How could Empress Li let him hold Jiujiu? He was just daydreaming.
"good."
Concubine Li handed Jiujiu to the Eleventh Prince.
The Eleventh Prince was surprised for a moment, then took Jiujiu. The Tenth Prince also came forward to look at Jiujiu.
Jiujiu looked at the two faces that came in front of her, her eyes full of stars.
[Wow, the two brothers are so good-looking. ]
[He still hugged me.]
The tenth and eleventh princes heard Jiujiu's thoughts and looked at each other. They were happy but also a little surprised. But they had no intention of exposing her. They were worried that Jiujiu would be regarded as a monster. As her elder brother, they wanted to protect her.
Seeing that the Eleventh Prince had been holding Jiujiu for quite a while, the Tenth Prince said, "You've been holding her for quite a while, is it my turn?"
The Eleventh Prince reluctantly gave Ninety-Nine to the Tenth Prince.
After a while, he said to the Tenth Prince, "Brother Ten, you've been holding me for quite a while, it's my turn now."
"..." The Tenth Prince was angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just held you in my arms, and you haven't even warmed me up yet, why are you not giving it to me?"
"You won't give it to me, right? Then I'll take it away?"
The two of them were chasing each other, fighting for Jiujiu, and the atmosphere was very lively, until suddenly a voice came from outside.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
It was the voice of Emperor Zhaoning.
Emperor Zhaoning heard the laughter outside the door.
In this deep palace, rules are enforced everywhere. No one dares to laugh out loud, and there is an air of oppression everywhere.
At this moment here, Emperor Zhaoning heard the hearty laughter and truly felt relaxed and refreshed.
But what’s strange is, why did everyone stop laughing as soon as he came in?
Does he look scary?
Emperor Zhaoning walked up to the Tenth Prince with doubts, ignored the Tenth Prince's reluctant look, took Jiujiu from his arms, and said to him, "Old Tenth, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown taller."
Seeing that the Tenth Prince looked unhappy, Emperor Zhaoning asked again in confusion: "You look unhappy, are you worried about something?"
Emperor Zhaoning said as he held Jiujiu in his arms and sat down: "Tell me what you want? Who is the ungrateful person who has offended you? I will help you decide!"
He is in a good mood today, so it is no problem for him to help make the decision.
Fu'an, who was following behind Emperor Zhaoning, could see it clearly.
It was obvious that the Tenth Prince was unhappy because the Emperor took Jiujiu away from his arms.
The emperor actually asked?
It's tantamount to scolding yourself for being ungrateful.
As the saying goes, if you scold yourself, you will be a failure when you grow up.
Fuan wanted to give a reminder, but he was afraid of losing his head, so he could only play dumb!
The tenth prince said, "I am not unhappy, I just ate something bad and my stomach is a little uncomfortable."
"Have you consulted the imperial physician?"
“No.”
"Then let's go find the imperial physician. Old Eleven, you should go too!"
The Tenth Prince: “…”
The Eleventh Prince: “…………”
Is this sending them away?
I really regret the excuse I just made up. It was so mean.
They wanted to spend more time with their brother. It was lunch time and they wanted to have lunch with their father.
They have grown up but have never had a meal with their father.
However, they also know that this is wishful thinking.
"Yes, I will leave now."
The tenth and eleventh princes had never been favored by the emperor, and it was difficult for them to even say a few words to Emperor Zhaoning, so how could they dare to go against his wishes? They both bowed their heads and retreated in disappointment.
Jiujiu saw the reluctance of the Tenth and Eleventh Princes. She pulled Emperor Zhaoning's sleeve and said, "Father, Jiujiu likes you two brothers. Would you like to have dinner with me?"
"But your tenth brother has a stomachache?" Emperor Zhaoning asked.
"That's because I'm hungry."
"Are you hungry?" Emperor Zhaoning asked, "Why don't you stay and have dinner together?"
The tenth prince and the eleventh prince were so excited that they almost cried. What a good day today was it? Their father and Empress Li were not treating them the same way as before.
"Okay, thank you father." He looked at Jiujiu: "Thank you, eighteenth brother." It was all thanks to the younger brother who helped speak.
The two princes ate their meal with their most respected father, the emperor, with trepidation. Out of fear of their father, they did not eat too much, just a few bites, and left after finishing their meal.
Judging from their expressions, they really want the attention and love of their father and want to say a few more words to him, but they also understand that they should not be wishful thinking and should not covet things that do not belong to them.
Jiujiu wanted to help her two brothers gain the favor of their father, but her two brothers left too quickly and she didn't have time to speak.
"Jiujiu, you seem not full yet, why don't you eat some more?" Emperor Zhaoning said.
[I obviously ate a lot and was already full, but my cheap dad was still worried that I wasn’t full. ]
Emperor Zhaoning thought to himself, "The brat will definitely be very touched, and he might even take the initiative to kiss me."
He wanted Jiujiu to kiss him actively.
Emperor Zhaoning was already waiting with his face turned sideways.
Little did he know that Jiujiu was looking at the table full of delicious food in front of him and muttering to himself.
[Brother Ten and Brother Eleven didn't move their chopsticks much, but Cheap Dad couldn't see it. Cheap Dad didn't care about them at all.]
【I have to think of a way.】
Emperor Zhaoning looked at Jiujiu with interest, wondering what solution Jiujiu would come up with. When he saw Concubine Li from the corner of his eye, he was very attracted by her beautiful profile, clear contours, picturesque features and eyebrows. He turned to look at Concubine Li and did not move his eyes for a long time.
Jiujiu coughed twice, but Emperor Zhaoning did not respond.
[Why is my cheap father looking at my mother like this? Look, what kind of look is that.]
【Like a pervert.】
