Chapter 190 Shameless!
Emperor Liang ordered his men to keep a close eye on Xiao Tangbao. He knew that she still owed 80,000 taels of silver.
Pursing his lips, he coldly ordered Shen Ying to bring a large box. When he opened the lid, he saw neatly arranged silver ingots weighing fifty taels each.
"Just now, I lost my balance. I won't do that again... Zhaoning, just stay here peacefully. For every half hour you stay, I'll reward you with a silver ingot."
Xiao Tangbao was suddenly stunned and forgot to cry for a moment.
Emperor Liang snorted inwardly, but appeared very respectful: "Mother, please do as you please. I'll go to the back to wash up."
Little Tangbao couldn't count, so he turned around and looked at Eunuch Shen Ying.
Shen Ying glanced at the emperor and helped Tang Bao calculate the bill in a gentle voice: "My Lady, half an hour is fifty taels of silver, so one hour is one hundred taels of silver!"
"Little Princess, do you know that even a high-ranking official in the imperial court can't earn more than a hundred taels of silver a month? The common people in Xijing City usually only earn two or three taels of silver a month."
"Besides, in another hour, this delicious beef brisket soup I've prepared will be ready! Your Highness, why don't you have lunch before leaving? You'll even have some extra cash to buy snacks... What do you think?"
Little Tang Bao stared at the memorial on the table that she had snatched but hadn't had time to read yet, and said hesitantly, "Well, well, Tang Bao, stay for dinner."
Emperor Liang curled his lips and strode out, his steps suddenly becoming much lighter.
…
The back hall was filled with steam and the room was warm as spring. Emperor Liang, who had not been able to take a hot bath in peace for a long time, could not wait to take off his clothes. As soon as he soaked in the bathtub, he sighed.
"How much dust and dirt can there be, so light and clear..."
Suddenly!
A cold wind blew in his face, and Emperor Liang suddenly opened his eyes...
I saw a face that was completely disfigured and covered in blood!!!
The terrifying ghost face was only a fist away from his face.
Emperor Liang's pupils suddenly shrank, he roared in his heart, and subconsciously sank himself into the water.
The female ghost in red had her limbs resting on the edge of the bathtub, and the whole ghost was suspended above the water vapor, as if she was lying on him.
Emperor Liang closed his eyes in the water, and his brows instantly twisted into a knot.
Momo...don't panic! Don't panic!
As long as you pretend not to see her, she will leave after a while!
Not to mention that it is daytime now... she, she feels bored... she will leave soon... leave!
Emperor Liang kept comforting himself, and when he could no longer bear the suffocation, he "calmly" poked his head out of the water and lay down again as before.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, the female ghost suddenly placed her hand in front of him, clenched her fist, and extended her thumb and little finger.
Emperor Liang thought she was complimenting him by making the number six, but he didn't expect the ghost to go too far. She pressed her thumbnail against the tip of her little finger and said to him contemptuously, "Tsk! It's only this big!!"
"ah--!!!"
Shame, anger, fear...all the emotions rushed out at once, and Emperor Liang ran out of the bathtub screaming, almost falling headfirst onto the ground and passing away.
The female ghost chased him relentlessly, and Emperor Liang did not even bother to put on any clothes. He ran madly and rushed into the front hall.
Dead silence.
Eerie silence.
The only sound in the hall was the "pat pat" sound of water drops hitting the ground.
The old empress dowager hurriedly turned around while holding Tang Bao, and Aunt Yao quickly stood side by side with her. They both straightened their backs to ensure that they could completely block little Tang Bao's sight.
All the palace servants in the room, whether eunuchs or palace maids, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, refusing to get up.
Shen Ying rushed out of the hall and stopped the officials who were fast, asking them to wait in the yard!
Tang Bao was stunned for a moment, then hooked her little hand around the Queen Mother's neck and asked her to leave: "Diudiu, my great-uncle is shameless. Tang Bao doesn't want his money!"
"No! Don't go!" Emperor Liang's face was filled with fear. He closed his legs tightly and quickly covered his lower body with his hands. "One hundred taels! As long as Zhaoning stays, your uncle will give you one hundred taels of silver every quarter of an hour!"
Queen Mother, Tang Bao: "........."
After giving a few words of instruction to the guards, Shen Ying returned quickly without delaying for even a second. Upon hearing what Emperor Liang said, he suddenly came to Xiao Tangbao.
"My Lady, there are eight quarters of an hour. If you stay here a little longer and finish your rich and mellow beef brisket soup, you'll get eight hundred taels of silver, enough to buy two or three courtyards in the capital!"
"If you play in this Chenji Palace for two or three hours this afternoon, you can go out and buy a shop tomorrow! What a great thing that would be...why don't you think about it?"
Aunt Yao pursed her lips, her eyes were smiling, and the muscles on her face were trembling.
The old queen mother was trying so hard to hold back her laughter that her chest ached, and she winked at Tang Bao.
The little fellow's eyes widened as he looked at the Queen Mother and then at Aunt Yao. "Well... okay...?"
"You little money-grubber! What can great-grandmother say about you?!" The old queen gently stuffed Tang Bao into Shen Ying's arms, left Aunt Yao behind, and left angrily.
Emperor Liang heaved a long sigh of relief, and the young eunuch hurriedly wiped his body and changed his clothes on the spot.
…
After the ministers entered the hall, they were slightly surprised to see Princess Zhaoning there, but did not raise any questions.
After paying their respects to Emperor Liang and Xiao Tangbao, the ministers quickly sat down and began to deal with court affairs.
Seeing that Eunuch Shen Ying was busy serving Emperor Liang, Xiao Tangbao was hesitating about who to ask to help her read the memorial when Eunuch Pei An arrived.
Tang Bao's eyes curved and he suddenly smiled, waving at him like a lucky cat.
Haha! Haha…
On the other hand, Pei An's smile seemed to carry a hint of bitterness...
In the center of the hall was placed a small table and chair specially prepared for Tang Bao by the emperor. The two of them sat there obediently. After a while, the little guy finally understood what was written on the memorial.
She was very angry about the third prince consort Liu Jiqing mentioned in the memorial!
"Heh," the little fellow sneered, grabbed a pen and stuffed it into Eunuch Pei An's hand, "I want to write a poem, I want you to write it."
The discussions in the hall stopped abruptly, and everyone, including Emperor Liang, looked at Xiao Tangbao.
Some people think Princess Zhaoning is cute, while others think she is just trying to attract attention and overestimating her own abilities...
A little thing that is barely taller than a table, can't even speak clearly and can't write, how could it compose poetry?
cut……
No one would believe that!
Not humble at all!
Xiao Tangbao was so focused on his creation that he didn't even notice the gazes of those around him. He stared at the memorial in his hand and said,
"The third prince consort, the soft rice is delicious!
Favor the concubine and bully the wife!
Changing dolls, bad heart!
Big talk, dog woof!
You beastly dad, climb into the bed!
Evil mother, hand over the stick to help!
A family of bad guys with black hearts!"
Everyone: (′ω)?
Who says doggerel isn’t poetry?
Hey, you know what, the little princess wrote pretty well, and it even rhymes!
The little girl was very satisfied with her creation. She curled her lips slightly, but the smile suddenly froze on her tender little face.
This memorial says "Li Dai Tao Jiang"... Could it be that the little brother named Liu Sheng who forced Third Aunt to make concessions all the time is not Third Aunt's biological son?
