Chapter 22: Asking for a title for the three little ones
On the day of returning home, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was in chaos.
The third young lady, Bai Jinyan, was under house arrest.
The virtuous King Lu Linyuan jumped around like a zombie for a long time, with pus ulcers in his mouth and he couldn't eat.
Li was even more miserable. From then on he was called Bald Li. He was struck by lightning and his hand was broken.
Bai Taotao and the others got on the carriage back to the palace and left in a majestic manner, leaving the mess for Marquis Yong'an to clean up.
In the carriage.
Bai Taotao looked at Lu Jiuyuan, then smiled with her eyebrows curved. "Your Highness, the way you protect the child, is so handsome and suave. I am deeply..."
Lu Jiuyuan interrupted with a sullen face: "Shut up!"
This woman is going to say those shameless words again.
Bai Taotao smiled and flirted with Lu Jiuyuan, "Your Highness and I are truly in tune with each other. You already know what I'm going to say before I even say it."
Lu Jiuyuan:!!!
He just knows her nature!
Bai Taotao successfully saw Lu Jiuyuan blushing again, and she was in a very good mood.
As for the three little cubs at home, don’t even mention that they were bullied.
These three little brats didn't bully others, they are already Ami tofu, thank God.
Seeing that Lu Jiuyuan didn't say anything, Xiaobao took out his own small board, wrote quickly, and then showed it to him.
[Your Highness's father is very handsome. Xiaobao likes him very much and loves him very much.]
After Lu Jiuyuan finished reading, she put away the small board, held his face with her chubby little hands, and kissed him.
A child's kiss is soft and has a milky scent.
It makes people feel that even the coldest and hardest heart will be softened.
Lu Jiuyuan's cold heart had softened completely.
But he still had a sullen face: "Girls can't kiss others casually, and they are not allowed to say the word "like" casually."
Xiaobao blinked his eyes and wrote quickly.
[Your Highness's father is none other than Xiaobao's father. Mother said love must be expressed.]
Lu Jiuyuan looked up and glared at Bai Taotao: "Bai Taotao!"
He is not Xiaobao's biological father, he is still a stranger!
Bai Taotao looked at him aggrievedly: "I have also expressed my love for Your Highness."
Lu Jiuyuan couldn't help but hold his forehead: ...
He doesn't want to talk to Bai Taotao anymore!
Lu Jiuyuan sent them to the gate of the East Palace. He did not even let the carriage get off, so he asked Xiao Xizi to drive the carriage away.
Xiaobao tilted his little bald head and looked at Bai Taotao.
Dabao asked, "Mother, is His Highness's father angry?"
Erbao: "Mom is just talking, she hasn't even kissed me yet, why is he angry?"
Bai Taotao hugged Xiaobao and said, "Don't worry about him. He'll know to go home when it gets dark."
She glared at Erbao again: "Don't make your mother sound like a female hooligan."
The mother and her two children returned to the East Palace chatting and laughing.
Imperial study.
Emperor Shengzong was eating melon seeds and reading a storybook. When he heard that Lu Jiuyuan had arrived, he quickly put down the storybook and hid it under the memorial.
He was holding a memorial in his hand and sitting very upright, looking like a wise ruler reviewing a memorial.
Emperor Shengzong looked at Lu Jiuyuan lovingly: "Why is the Crown Prince here?"
Lu Jiuyuan sat in a wheelchair and looked up at Emperor Shengzong who was sitting on the dragon throne.
He could never understand his father, the emperor, who was very strict and harsh to him when he went on expeditions.
When he returned from the expedition, his legs were disabled and he was left with a paralyzed condition. His father doted on him very much and had no intention of deposing him as the crown prince.
But he didn't understand why his father had arranged for him to marry a woman like Bai Taotao who had three children.
To outsiders, this undoubtedly meant that the emperor's father disliked him, which was why he arranged such a marriage for him.
Emperor Shengzong was puzzled by Lu Jiuyuan's gaze and felt a little guilty: "Crown Prince?"
He is... reading a storybook. Has his son discovered him?
Lu Jiuyuan asked Emperor Shengzong, "Father, despite the fact that Bai Taotao is already married and has children, you betrothed her to me. Are you afraid of Bai Yunting and want to win him over?"
Emperor Shengzong was stunned: "I don't..."
Lu Jiuyuan said with a sullen face: "I know that this is what the emperor thinks."
Emperor Shengzong: "Really not..."
Lu Jiuyuan continued, "I am nearing death, and I feel deeply honored to be able to share your father's worries."
Emperor Shengzong: "Prince, I really don't..."
Lu Jiuyuan looked up at him and said, "So, in order to make the Bai Yunting family more loyal to the emperor, I implore the emperor to allow Dabao and his family to be included in the family tree and be granted the titles of prince and princess."
Emperor Shengzong, who had been interrupted three times in a row, finally had the chance to finish his sentence.
He looked at Lu Jiuyuan and asked, "Prince, are you requesting titles for your three children?"
Emperor Shengzong was very surprised. He didn't expect that the prince would take the initiative to ask for a title only three days after the wedding.
In fact, he liked those three little guys so much that he had wanted to seal them off a long time ago.
However, the prince took the initiative in this matter.
Lu Jiuyuan said sullenly, "It was Father who wanted to confer the title, and doesn't Father like them very much? I am only helping Father with his worries."
Emperor Shengzong: ...
He seemed to discover that this prince was very much like the tsundere character described in the storybooks!
Emperor Shengzong said: "Given the personalities of Bai Yunting and the others, it's not certain that they will be loyal to him if he is conferred the title of Princess. I think..."
Lu Jiuyuan interrupted anxiously: "Father, do you think they should be named Little Princess and Little Prince?"
Emperor Shengzong: ...
Wow, this time his status has been elevated a lot.
How afraid is the prince that he won't confer titles on those three cute little milky-scented babies?
In fact, thinking about those three little brats, Emperor Shengzong's grandfatherly heart was burning with fire.
He was very happy to confer upon them the titles of little prince and little princess.
but……
For such an honor, the prince still has to ask for them to be given a title, so that he can regain the prince who was once ambitious and attached to the world.
Emperor Shengzong said in a deep voice: "Since the Crown Prince sincerely requests the title..."
Lu Jiuyuan interrupted him: "It was the emperor who bestowed the title on me for the sake of the country. I am merely helping him to relieve his worries."
Emperor Shengzong: ...
You tsundere, will you die if you just tell them that you wanted to give them a title?
Emperor Shengzong didn't want to ruin his son's plan, so he agreed with what he said.
"Yes, yes, I conferred the title on them for the sake of the country and the people, and for the Bai family's father and son to better serve me."
Emperor Shengzong immediately wrote an imperial edict himself and asked Lu Jiuyuan to take it back.
As soon as Lu Jiuyuan left, Emperor Shengzong quickly sent someone to investigate what happened in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion that day.
Soon, Emperor Shengzong learned about what happened in front of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Emperor Shengzong slowly took out the storybook from under the memorial: "Chasing the Escaped Pregnant Crown Princess."
Emperor Shengzong asked Chief Steward Li, "Little Li, do you think those three little kids are the Crown Prince's children, as the storybook says?"
After all, if the prince had left a child, the child would have been as big as the three little kids.
Li Zongguan felt a headache and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to read the memorial."
Everyone thought that the emperor granted the marriage to the crown prince and the crown princess because he was concerned about Bai Yunting's 200,000 troops.
In fact, it is not the case. The emperor approved the marriage after reading the storybook!
After reading the storybook, Emperor Shengzong asked Li Zongguan, "When will the second volume of this storybook be published? Why hasn't the author been found yet?"
He also wanted to know when the arrogant dog prince in the book would recognize the little boy.
