Chapter 115 The plan begins!
Little Tangbao Cricket Pupa reached the bedside, and just as his toes touched the ground, he lifted his legs and started to run...
"Bang" fell to the ground.
Well!
"Ouch, ouch~"
The little guy landed face first on the ground, with half of his legs hanging on the bed, and he couldn't get up no matter what... He fell really hard.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
Zhilan and Zhimei's faces turned pale with fright, and they hurriedly helped her up.
"It's not tied!" Tang Bao held his waist with one hand, raised his head and waved his hand, looking like a little adult.
Seeing her red eyes, everyone in the room suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, too embarrassed to even breathe.
The little fellow sat on the stool, mumbling with his little mouth, and stretched out his hands to wipe away his tears.
Tangbao is brave! Tangbao, don’t cry!
The Tangbao faction wants to kill the big faction!
“Wow—!!”
…
After breakfast, Xiao Tangbao refused the doctor's suggestion that she continue to rest in bed.
Her knee is fine, so she doesn't need to lie down any longer. As for her face... the bruise will disappear in a few days, so it's okay!
"Tang Bao will be going to Zhi Academy tomorrow. I believe the concubines in the palace have already prepared gifts for Tang Bao."
"Tang Bao can't let everyone down. I have to go through each palace and personally thank the Emperor's beauties. Are you up to it, Eunuch Shen Ying?"
"..." Eunuch Shen had a dazed look on his face. He didn't know whether those young ladies knew that the young princess was going to school.
He had to quickly send people to notify everyone in the palace so as not to disappoint the little princess.
"Your Highness is right. You've been lying in bed for two days. The ladies must have prepared gifts for you long ago!"
"I will have your Highness dressed right away. Let's dress up nicely and go visit our friends!"
The little fellow raised the corners of his lips and nodded with satisfaction: "Then Tang Bao will dress up for a while and make sure Ji Ji looks beautiful!"
"Eunuch Shen Ying, Tang Bao is able to go to school thanks to the Imperial Uncle! Before going to the harem, can Tang Bao go and thank the Imperial Uncle first?"
Shen Ying: “…”
Look at the little princess, she's obviously gritting her teeth, it doesn't look like she wants to thank the emperor... Could it be that the little princess wants to blackmail the emperor?
Eunuch Shen's eyebrows were twitching.
Well, the emperor has issued an edict anyway, so there is no place in this palace that the little princess cannot go!
As long as the little princess is happy, let her do whatever she wants. He will take care of it if anything goes wrong!
Who made Her Royal Highness the Princess call him Grandpa Shen?
Xiao Tangbao cooperated very well and let the aunts bathe and change her clothes without expressing any opinions throughout the process.
An hour later, the little guy went out wearing tiger-head boots trimmed with rabbit fur and a fine mink hooded cloak.
Both of her little hands were hidden in the cloak, with only a chubby little face showing under the hood. The furry body made her look even more soft and cute, making people want to hold her in their arms and move her around.
At this moment, Xiao Tangbao didn't know that because of her words, the women in the harem were almost biting their back teeth.
Yongkun Palace...
"It's just a junior college, not the Imperial College. What does Princess Zhaoning have to brag about? She's so arrogant at such a young age... She'll suffer sooner or later!"
"Mother, Mother, that's the Hongwen Academy's Junior College... Besides, His Majesty has never worried about any of his grandchildren's studies!"
"Then why don't you go open the warehouse and pick out the best stuff!"
`(◣д◢)`ノ=3=3=3`
Roufu Palace...
"She's just a little girl who can barely speak clearly... Damn it, I've never heard of a child going to school and then accepting gifts everywhere!"
"We sisters are both powerless, and life is already difficult. Princess Zhaoning is the apple of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager's eye, the apple of their eye... What should we do now?"
"No matter how difficult it is, we cannot neglect Princess Zhaoning. You know, even when there was nothing going on in the palace, only the emperor's eldest grandson entered the Hongwen Academy..."
"Pah, pah, pah! Sister, be careful with your words. What do you mean by the emperor's eldest grandson? Yun Yian is nothing but the illegitimate offspring of Wei's adultery with the second son-in-law... He's now imprisoned in the clan residence, and I don't know how many days he can live!"
"Now is not the time to talk about this, sisters, let's quickly prepare some high-quality silver charcoal, make this room warmer, and then go back to prepare our gifts!"
`(;;)⌒☆':*
Yuxiu Palace...
This is a good opportunity to please the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Children are the easiest to fool. Just coax them with delicious food, drinks and fun things!
Remembering that the emperor had previously ordered Concubine Xiao to pay 100,000 taels of silver as an apology, Concubine Li gritted her teeth and immediately ordered people to move out all the silver ingots in the palace.
After counting, she made up her mind and collected a total of 66,666 taels of silver as a gift for the little princess's graduation.
Shuyuxuan...
As a result, the originally stagnant palace gradually became lively.
…
In the imperial study.
Emperor Liang sat at his desk, looking at the memorial in his hand, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The impatience on his face made all the officials' nerves tense to the extreme, and they would break on the spot at the slightest disturbance.
It was death anyway, so the Minister of Works Lu Jiyuan lifted his robe and knelt down with the intention of dying.
"Your Majesty, spring is just two months away. We must not delay repairing the weirs and dredging the ditches any longer! Otherwise, if a flood occurs next year, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"What do you think, Lord Yilu?"
"Your Majesty, I implore the court to allocate 500,000 taels of silver to suspend ice harvesting, storage, and charcoal making, and to concentrate manpower on repairing weirs, dredging ditches, and building dams."
Emperor Liang sneered, "The treasury is already empty. Why waste money on something that hasn't even happened yet?"
"You're not preparing for a rainy day, you're worrying about nothing!"
"Besides, people have died every year throughout the dynasties. Why can't they die this year?"
"It's all the fault of those untouchables who are lazy. They know it's dangerous to live downstream, but they still don't move year after year!"
Emperor Liang snorted coldly, his expression disdainful. "If you ask me, they are the parasites of our Daliang Dynasty, waiting to extort relief grain from the imperial court at any time!"
"Your Majesty!" Lu Jiyuan was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Locality is the foundation of human nature. How can it be so easy to relocate an entire family? Your Majesty, what's the difference between what you're saying and 'Why don't you just eat meat porridge?'"
"How dare you! How dare you humiliate me?!" Emperor Liang was furious and flipped the table. "Minister of Works Lu Jiyuan has committed treason and defied the emperor's authority. Drag him away and behead him!"
"Don't bother anyone else! I'll end it myself!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Jiyuan took off his official hat and placed it in front of him. He straightened his back and stood up, then rushed towards the pillar that was more than one meter thick.
He ran very fast, gathering all his strength, and was ready to die.
"Protect the princess!"
Before Lu Jiyuan could hit the pillar and die, he was suddenly kicked out by Eunuch Shen.
Emperor Liang and the twenty or so officials kneeling in the room immediately looked towards the door.
I saw a little girl who was not much taller than the table, walked in at some point.
Everyone didn't hear Eunuch Shen call out "Princess." They just closed their eyes silently, feeling sorry for the delicate and delicate girl before them...
I don’t know whose child this is. The emperor is most averse to women entering his study.
Alas! Such a pretty little baby, but it's a pity that she has to be buried with Mr. Lu...
