Chapter 204 I dare not open my eyes, fearing that I might be hallucinating...
The Third Princess's Mansion.
Little Tangbao returned to his room a little embarrassedly amidst sister Chuntai's praises. His chubby little face turned pink because of shyness. He was so cute!
Being smart isn't enough...
Having suffered from the disadvantages of being uneducated, the little girl immediately sat down steadily in front of the kang and immersed herself in reviewing the lessons that Zhilan and Zhimei had taught her.
Until he could recite the entire Thousand Character Classic backwards, practiced the hand gestures and techniques to a high degree, and even practiced the magic circle he would use tonight several times in his mind...
She then hurried out of the princess's mansion, carrying her small bag and riding on the little white tiger.
"Princess, Princess!" Chuntai saw the young master running away without keeping an eye on him, and she slapped her thigh anxiously. "Oh, please run slower! You'll be... and shaken off by the guards again!"
The little princess is very capable and fearless...but they are afraid, they have to know her safety at all times!
Besides, the princess is still so young. What if she meets someone more powerful than her one day? What if her magic stops working? What if she needs an errand boy?
Oh! I am so worried!
The little guy was still obedient. She pulled the rope around the little white tiger's neck and ran a little slower.
Since she has something important to do tonight, she won't go to the homes of those bad ministers to "raise" money!
She wanted to go to the palace to visit her great-grandmother, Madam Yao, and Aunt Yuanshuang, and finally she had to go to the Ministry of Works to see how much silver she still owed for sending the money.
The little girl happily entered the palace, but not only did she not see her Aunt Yuan Shuang, she also heard that the stinking emperor not only lifted Empress Cao's house arrest, but also brought that Yun Yihe into Gyeongbokgung Palace?!
The corners of her mouth that were originally raised fell down in an instant...
Tang Bao had thought about getting along well with Yun Yihe before... After all, who doesn't want to be a good and likable child?
Besides, Yun Yihe’s nature is not actually bad, she was just taught wrongly by the adults around her.
Just like what the gardener in the mansion said, those people don't plant trees properly. Instead of pruning off the extra branches, they also forcibly graft branches that shouldn't be grafted onto the saplings without any regard... It's a wonder if the trees can survive!
But later... Alas, everything Yun Yihe did was so annoying! Even if she was kind-hearted, Tang Bao didn't want to make things difficult for herself!
In short, Tang Bao just doesn't like her! She doesn't want to try to make her like Tang Bao anymore!
The little girl was feeling upset, and when she heard that the emperor was looking for her, she slapped the little white tiger hard without saying a word and rushed out of the palace as if running for her life.
As long as Third Aunt’s problem is not resolved, she will have no time to make money, especially the emperor’s money!
"Great-grandmother! Aunt Yao! Tang Bao will come to see you in a few days!"
…
The little guy ran fast enough, and the spiritual talismans that Prince Qing had looted from Yun Lie had finally run out...
Emperor Liang could only see a few sporadic and ferocious evil ghosts at the moment. He couldn't even see Concubine Xiao's family of three, nor the ghosts of the recently dead. So he didn't insist on looking for Tang Bao anymore. Since the little brat had run away, he just let her go.
Xiao Tangbao glanced back and confirmed that there were no pursuers before he swaggered into the Ministry of Works.
She slid off the little white tiger, and as soon as one foot stepped into the house, she froze in place.
The little white tiger was familiar with the Ministry of Industry. Just as it walked into the house out of habit, Tang Bao hugged its neck.
"Mee, mee," the little guy buried his face in its fluffy fur and spoke in a muffled voice.
"You must have run too fast. The strong wind blew and made Tang Bao's head dizzy. Tang Bao... Tang Bao is hallucinating..."
The little guy didn't believe it, turned around and stepped back into the yard.
Li Chenglan suppressed his laughter and cooperated by closing the door for her with a bang.
The little fellow looked at the little white tiger who had also retreated, then looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and with a heroic and confident look, he pushed the door open again...
She blinked her big, watery eyes hard and found that the scene she saw was exactly the same as before! ?
Her second cousin Li Chenglan, completely disregarding her young mind, stood behind Aunt Yuanshuang, domineeringly wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly in his arms?
Not only that, he shamelessly rested his chin on Aunt Yuan Shuang's shoulder, acting like a smug villain...
"You...you guys..." Seeing Aunt Yuanshuang's shy face, Xiao Tangbao's fingers were trembling as he pointed at them. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly.
Seeing the child was very angry, Xie Yuanshuang struggled a few more times, trying to distance herself from the man behind her...
But Li Chenglan not only did not let go, but held her even tighter!
He curled his lips into a particularly hearty smile and announced loudly to the stunned little guy, "Yes! We are getting married!"
It was thanks to Tang Bao's doggerel that they had the opportunity to spend some quiet time together, copying and opening their hearts to each other...
"My dear niece, from now on she will no longer be your 'Aunt Yuanshuang'. You must call her 'Second Cousin' instead. Remember that?"
"Oh, by the way, when the New Year comes, little princess, you must come to my Ningguo Mansion to pay New Year's greetings. Second cousin will not only prepare lucky money for you, but also money for you to change your name!"
boom!
Seeing that Aunt Xuanshuang didn't refute, Xiao Tangbao felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her directly on the top of her head!
She was stunned, and her pink little mouth instantly opened into an "O" shape, so big that a super-sized grape could be stuffed in it!
In just a few breaths, the little guy's wide-open eyes were quickly covered with a layer of egg-drop soup-like tears, and his expression looked really sad.
"Aunt Yuanshuang, do you have any difficulties?" Xiao Tangbao's tone was full of anxiety and worry. "Have you forgotten that it was he who colluded with the emperor to trick Tangbao? He neither told Tangbao that the guarantee document could not be signed, nor did he help Tangbao lower the price..."
If the contract had been signed for 300,000 taels of silver, Tang Bao wouldn't have to worry about the money by now!
She looked at Xie Yuanshuang seriously: "How about...how about Tangbao ask great-grandmother to hold a martial arts competition to find a husband for Aunt Yuanshuang? Invite all the good men in the capital, no, all the good men in the world, and let Aunt choose freely?" It would also be a good opportunity for the second and third aunts to choose!
Xie Yuanshuang: “…”
(卌д)卌... The smile on Li Chenglan's face instantly collapsed, and he felt a surge of panic in his heart.
He let go of the person in his arms, squatted down and looked Tang Bao in the eye: "Little guy, adults have their own difficulties. In that situation, who would dare to help you?"
"And the budget that the Minister of Works had drawn up from the beginning was one million taels of silver... If I hadn't kept him quiet back then, you'd have to collect a million taels of silver by now!"
"Second cousin, I don't ask you to like me too much, but please don't hate me, Tangbao..." Li Chenglan said aggrievedly.
Tang Bao: "...?"
Is it really like this?
Could it be that the kind-hearted Aunt Piao Niang was really seduced by the evil-minded cousin?
Little Tangbao couldn't tell the difference between real and fake for a moment and wanted to go back and be alone...
She used her hands and feet to climb onto the back of the little white tiger, waved to the two of them, and ran away without looking back.
But as soon as she returned to the princess's mansion, she heard Li Ma's sorrowful crying...
