The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Chen'an Palace

At the beginning of the 4th hour, Bai Yimeng brought the Prince of Qi into the palace. The Prince of Qi followed his old routine, hugging Emperor Chengde's legs and crying, "Father... I don't want to lie to you, they forced me..."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the King of Qi pointed his finger directly at Bai Yimeng.

"Hey, Yuwen Xi, you have no moral principles. Who saved you? Who treated you to lunch? You're full and you're blaming me for it, right?"

"I didn't say anything about you...why are you so excited..." Yuwen Xi choked and turned his head to glare at Bai Yimeng.

"Okay, stop crying. Your crying gives me a headache. Let's talk about what's going on." Emperor Mingde pushed his son away and returned to the dragon throne.

The King of Qi did not dare to lie in detail and told Emperor Mingde that he was pretending to be crazy because of fear.

"Your Majesty, you said before that it is a big mistake for children to lie. Why don't you beat him?" Bai Yimeng had been punished for lying before. If the King of Qi escaped a beating now, she would definitely not agree.

"Little monkey, can you let him tell the whole story? I will treat him fairly, okay?"

Perhaps in order to pass on his experience, the Prince of Qi also told Emperor Mingde what he had heard in Prince Mu's Palace.

Emperor Chengde glanced at Bai Yimeng and asked, "Little monkey, did you know this a long time ago?"

"Your Majesty, it's not too early..." Bai Yimeng counted the time on his fingers, "I only knew about it two hours earlier."

"Well, that's better. This matter is not allowed to spread outside, and you are not allowed to interfere. I will handle it. It's none of your business now, go down." Emperor Chengde waved his hand to signal Bai Yimeng to go out.

"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you." Bai Yimeng said, then lowered her head and scratched her hands.

"Then you go out first, and I'll see you later, okay?" Emperor Chengde's eyes were full of fatigue, and he waved his hand to signal Bai Yimeng to go out.

As soon as Bai Yimeng stepped out of the hall, he heard the roar of Emperor Chengde. The sound was so violent and terrifying. Bai Yimeng looked at Eunuch Chen beside him and said, "Your Majesty, this is too scary."

"Your Majesty is the emperor, so naturally he has a bad temper. He usually speaks to you in a friendly manner." Eunuch Chen took out a fan from his sleeve and fanned Bai Yimeng gently. "My servant is talking nonsense, Princess, just listen casually. Those monkey cubs of Longyin Guard have been like wild children without a master since General Longwei took leave.

Your Majesty is thinking of their meritorious service and it is not easy to dismiss them, so he intends to find someone who is capable, not greedy for money, and has good character to take over."

"I am greedy for money, very greedy. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to open so many shops." Bai Yimeng was absolutely unwilling to take over.

Eunuch Chen shook his head and said, "What Princess Sui'an said is not the same as what I said. The princess knows in her heart that you are teasing me on purpose." Eunuch Chen said no more.

After a while, the King of Qi came out covered in dust and Bai Yimeng was called in.

"Your Majesty, you are biased..."

"How can you talk like that?" Emperor Chengde was still furious and glared at Bai Yimeng fiercely, "You stinky monkey, don't you know how to restrain yourself? Can't you see that I am angry?"

Bai Yimeng lowered her head and said nothing after being scolded. Emperor Chengde was angry and distressed. "Are you unhappy after being scolded a few times? Come here and let me see you. Your elder brother came to see me yesterday. He said that you were seriously injured and asked me to let you leave the capital. You begged me for a long time."

"Brother, he didn't tell me about this." Bai Yimeng found it hard to imagine that his fierce brother would ask for help.

"Let me see, your face doesn't look very good. How did you get yourself into this state? I asked the Dragon Roar Guards to follow you, not only to find a master for them, but also to find someone to protect you.

But I heard from Long Yi yesterday that you beat them up in the willow forest outside the city? It seems that your elder brother is right. You are too naughty. What if something happens? Look at your face, you look even more haggard than the last time I saw you. "

"I am fine." Bai Yimeng handed the badge to Emperor Mingde, "I am young and a woman, so I am not suitable to be in charge of the Dragon Roar Guard.

"It's too late. You beat them. Long Yi said that the three hundred of them will recognize you as their leader. Take this badge. Take what I give you in the future. I owe you too much, and I will compensate you little by little.

I will take care of you and protect you on behalf of your father. I believe that if the Marquis of Zhenbei were here, he would also give you a secret guard to protect yourself."

"I am afraid that I will become arrogant due to my favor and that Your Majesty will be embarrassed." Bai Yimeng lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's easy to say that you are arrogant because of your favor. I am not too old yet, and it won't be difficult for me to beat you up. Well, stay and have lunch with me. The queen has been missing you for a long time.

You are such a heartless person. You have been back for so long and you didn't even go to see the Queen." Emperor Chengde tugged at Bai Yimeng's sleeve, a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is biased. Last time I lied, you slapped me in the face. I cried so hard. But...how come the King of Qi is fine?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengde was so angry that he laughed. He tapped Bai Yimeng on the head and said, "It's unruly. How old is the King of Qi? How can I beat him? I have fined him his monthly salary and asked him to stay at home for three months. Isn't that enough?

Besides, slapping is only suitable for dealing with monkeys like you, adults don’t use this trick.”

"Hmph, it's just not fair, you're biased." Thinking of the last time he was beaten, Bai Yimeng was extremely unhappy.

After a while, thinking about her own situation, she tugged at the emperor's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, I really have to leave the capital. But after leaving the capital, what should I do with the Dragon Roar Guard?"

"It's okay. I'll take care of it for you first. You're not not coming back. I'll give it back to you when you come back." Emperor Chengde patted Bai Yimeng's shoulder gently. "Take good care of your injuries. I don't want to see you in this state. I'd rather you make me angry than you really get sick."

At lunch time, the Queen arrived. When Chen Angong saw Bai Yimeng, she couldn't control herself and cried for a long time, "My dear, how come you are so thin? I have a pill to replenish your vitality. Let Yujin bring it to you."

Aunt Yujin responded after hearing this, turned around and went to get the medicine. She returned without saying anything more.

"Eat it quickly. This is a reward from His Majesty to me. I don't need it now that I'm well, so I'll give it to you." The Queen held Bai Yimeng in her arms, opened the brocade box, took out the pill and handed it to her.

"I thank your Majesty and your Majesty."

Bai Yimeng was about to bow down, but Emperor Chengde stopped him, "There's no outsider here, so there's no need to do that. The Queen gave it to you, so just eat it, don't let the Queen down."

"Yes." Just as Bai Yimeng was about to swallow the pill, he suddenly smelled an unusual smell and took it under his nose to sniff it. "Your Majesty, where did this medicine come from?"

"It was a tribute sent by the Rabbit Western Country four years ago. What's wrong?" The queen stroked Bai Yimeng's head and put him on her lap.

Bai Yimeng was not completely sure, so she did not dare to speak directly. She smiled and shook her head, "I just thought this thing was interesting, so I asked casually."

Soon, Eunuch Chen asked if he could serve the dishes, and Emperor Chengde nodded slightly. At this time, the eunuch came to report that Prince Yi wanted to see him.

"The third son has a sharp nose. He came here just by smelling the food." The queen had not seen her son for a long time, so she naturally missed him a lot and looked at Emperor Chengde.

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly in understanding and ordered Eunuch Chen, "Why are you still standing there? Send him in and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Yuwen Ji naturally did not come here to eat, but if he had the food, he would be a fool not to eat, and Bai Yimeng was also there.
