Chapter 136 Mother, Father is in a bad mood today
The Emperor said: "Tomorrow at noon, arrange for the soldiers to practice. If there is free time, I will take the princess to the Prime Minister's residence."
Grand Tutor: "Okay, I'll go early tomorrow and tell the Prime Minister."
The Grand Tutor took his leave first.
The Grand Marshal also wanted to take his leave, but he remembered what happened in Prince Chuyang's Mansion and had not yet told the emperor in detail.
"Your Majesty, I have already handled everything at the Chuyang Palace. They did find quite a few children there, but fortunately, they are all still alive. I have informed the local prefect and have asked him to bring the children's families to claim them."
"But this incident did have a negative impact on the local area. Many people rioted and even smashed the Chuyang Palace. I took it upon myself to tell others about the investigation Your Majesty had sent, and only then did I quell the public anger."
"The King of Chuyang and the Princess must be severely punished, otherwise the people of the King of Chuyang's fiefdom will not let it go. I am afraid that these people will be taken advantage of, so they must be properly resettled."
After listening to the general's narration, the emperor nodded.
"What the Grand Marshal did was very appropriate. I understand. I will have someone send some subsidies from the national treasury to these families. The Chuyang King and his wife have caused such a disaster, and I will never forgive them lightly."
When Long Xianxian heard this, she couldn't help but chirp.
[The Prince of Chuyang and his wife have committed such a sin that they are asking Father to pay for it. I am so angry. Father, please search the Prince of Chuyang's mansion. They have plundered a lot of the people's wealth!]
The emperor looked at his daughter, wondering why he hadn't thought of it.
My daughter is really smart!
"You've worked hard today, Commander. Go back and rest early. We'll discuss this at court tomorrow morning."
The Grand Marshal: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, the general also took his leave.
After the general left, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, holding Long Xianxian in one hand and supporting his forehead with the other.
There are so many things going on today that the emperor is having a headache.
At this time, Godley came in.
"Your Majesty, the Empress sent someone to ask if you've returned and if you'd like to return to Xianfu Palace for dinner."
When Long Xianxian heard her mother, she immediately cheered.
[Father, Mother misses me. Please take me to see her. I miss her too!]
The emperor looked at the memorials on the table and felt so annoyed!
This Prime Minister’s leave is too long!
The emperor immediately stood up, holding Long Xianxian in his arms, and walked towards Xianfu Palace.
The Queen was in the palace and had not heard of the assassination attempt on the Yang family.
It was already dark, and her daughter still hadn't returned. The queen was waiting anxiously.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Your Majesty, do you know that your daughter is still young?"
The queen couldn't help but mutter.
[Mother, mother, Xianxian is back. Where are you? Xianxian misses you so much!]
At this moment, my daughter's voice rang out.
The queen hurried to the door and saw the emperor coming in holding the little princess.
The Queen didn't even bow. She came forward and complained, "Your Majesty, you came back so late today. Xianxian, please let your mother hug you!"
Long Xianxian screamed and opened her little hands.
The emperor then handed the daughter to the queen.
When the queen saw her daughter, she immediately kissed Long Xianxian's round face.
"I haven't seen Xianxian all day. I miss her so much. Is Xianxian hungry?"
Then he looked at the wet nurse beside the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the princess ate it on the way back!"
[Mom, I ate a lot today. You don’t know how many melons the Yang family has!]
Long Xianxian was making a fuss and yelling as she communicated with the queen.
The queen held Xianxian in her arms and ignored the emperor.
The emperor felt ignored.
But the emperor was very tired at the moment, so he found a chair to rest.
Long Xianxian was still chattering there, as if the queen could really understand what she said.
[I also saw Sister Yang and Sister Hua sparring today, but Sister Hua is still the better fighter. Sister Yang still needs some experience.]
That old Taiwei is so funny. Whenever his wife whips out a whip, he kneels down. I thought his wife was going to teach him a lesson. My father is really good-tempered. The old Taiwei scolds him, but he doesn't get angry at all. He often uses my father as a shield!
Today's bride-stealing was intense. Sister Yang even asked Sister Hua to guard the boudoir. Hahaha. But Sister Hua let him off the hook. That Lin Chong is truly a clever scoundrel. He even threatened Sister Hua that when she and the Fourth Prince get married, he'll help her act as the Fourth Prince.
[I have to say, this move was incredibly cunning. Sister Hua let Lin Chong win the bride.]
Long Xianxian moaned for a long time and felt a little thirsty.
The Queen chuckled.
"What's wrong, Xianxian?"
[So thirsty!]
The nurse came over and said, "Maybe the little princess is hungry again!"
So the queen handed Xianxian over to the wet nurse.
While the wet nurse was feeding Xianxian, Xianxian was still mumbling in her heart.
[I haven't said anything yet, Mom, please wait for me until I'm full.]
The queen found it interesting but didn't interrupt.
I saw the emperor resting with his eyes closed.
Then the Queen asked, "Your Majesty, have you had dinner yet?"
With so many things happening to the Yang family, he really didn't eat much.
"Serve the meal. There have been a lot of bad things today, and I haven't eaten anything."
The Queen called Yushu over and said, "Hurry up and serve the meal!"
At this time, Long Xianxian poked her head out from her wet nurse's arms.
She had eaten enough, and she wanted to tell her mother what happened today!
[Mother, Father was really upset today. Dayong almost died!]
what?
The queen was stunned and stood up in shock.
What does it mean?
Queen: "But what happened at the Yang family?"
[A lot of things happened. Lin Chong was so unlucky. Someone actually wanted to assassinate him. A wedding that was supposed to be a good thing almost turned into a funeral.]
The emperor frowned: Indeed!
Emperor: "Something happened, but it has been resolved!"
However, Hua Rong is now catching those spies, and I don’t know what the situation is now?
Those people are assassins disguised as Japanese. They knew that the emperor sent him to help Ryukyu, so they secretly wanted to kill Lin Chong today. If it weren't for me, they would all be killed!
At this moment, Long Xianxian was yelling and raging, and was trying to describe how awesome she was to the queen.
The Queen: "I'm glad Xianxian is alright. Don't scare mother."
[Mother, of course I'm fine. I have an iron wall and can protect father. But it's a pity that father didn't give me the chance to protect him.]
Hearing his daughter say this, the emperor felt warm in his heart.
No matter what, the first thing his daughter thought of was to protect herself. How could he not be moved?
The Queen: "Your Majesty, Xianxian is still young. It is better not to take her out of the palace in the future. Wait until she is a little older."
The emperor nodded: "Yes, I think so too."
[No, father, wuwuwu, I don't want to stay in the palace forever. It's so boring. There are not many harmonious and exciting things in the harem now. When will I be able to grow taller?]
