The Adventures of the Crying Princess

There was a sudden loud noise in the imperial study. Emperor Chengde put down his red brush, looked at Eunuch Chen, quietly took off his sword, and slowly approached the bookshelf.

"Your Majesty, it's me." Bai Yimeng poked her head out and smiled at the old emperor, "Please help me pull this minister up."

Seeing that it was Bai Yimeng, Emperor Chengde put back his sword and continued to review the memorials, "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and running after my son? Do you really think I am trying to coax the child?

Go back to sleep now. If you dare to be naughty again, I will beat you like I did when you were a child."

The old emperor didn't look up. He had too many worries today and was in no mood to coax the children.

The eldest princess returned to her fiefdom, and her youngest brother, Prince Ying, fell ill.

The old man thought of these close relatives and just wanted them to spend more time with him. However, the ancestral rules were like this, and as the emperor, he was helpless.

The fluffy head rested on his legs, and Emperor Chengde felt inexplicably aggrieved in his heart, "Hui'er, Hui'er is gone, I miss him so much."

"Your Majesty, I heard about Hui'er's incident. He was attacked on his way to offer sacrifices to his mother.

I have dealt with the person who hurt Hui'er. If Your Majesty wants to know who sent them, I can tell you."

"I know who it is. Let's not touch him for now. Little monkey, you've been gone for so long, and a lot of things have happened. I don't have anyone to talk to."

Emperor Chengde raised his eyes slightly and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back and sighed softly.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about this for now. I came to the palace in the middle of the night to discuss something with you."

After a pause, he said, "Someone is about to take action. I took my nephew out today and encountered a robbery. The enemy said they wanted to kill me. This shows that they are about to take action."

Bai Yimeng leaned on Emperor Chengde's legs, coughed, and took out a group name list. "Those brought into the capital by Prince Ying, those circled have been confirmed and killed. Your Majesty, it is human nature to value your brothers and relatives.

Silver Shadow has escorted the Grand Princess back to her fiefdom, and Golden Armor has also found the Grand Princess's former daughter.

Jinjia said that the girl was well educated and now has a pair of children, but unfortunately her husband passed away last year.

During this period, the capital was not peaceful. The eldest princess was kind-hearted and could be easily taken advantage of, so it was not a bad idea for her to return to her fiefdom.

Wait for a year or two, and when the capital is peaceful, Your Majesty can bring the people back.

Let me say something that Your Majesty is not happy about. As for Prince Ying, if he really has any thoughts, just imprison him. As long as he is alive, Your Majesty will not feel any pain. "

After Bai Yimeng finished speaking, he coughed again and rubbed against Emperor Chengde's legs like a kitten.

Emperor Chengde smiled bitterly and touched her head. "If it's as you said, then it couldn't be better."

"Your Majesty, I ask for your permission to protect you closely. This time I came to the palace, I have no intention of leaving soon. If they want to touch me, they want to hurt Your Majesty.

I, your Majesty, would like to ask you to allow me to provide close protection, including morning court and night watch."

Bai Yimeng knelt down and kowtowed with a serious expression. The old emperor looked at her.

He soon noticed something wrong, it was the new wound on her shoulder, "You are still injured, I won't allow it. If something really happens, how can I explain it to your parents?"

"Your Majesty, it is only natural for a subject to serve the monarch. If my parents were still alive, they would not object to my doing so.

Besides, it will only take a month or so. When the boil has shown its head and the situation in the capital has calmed down, I will go back to Wan'an Ancient. My master is getting old, and I have to go back to see him from time to time."

Emperor Chengde thought for a moment and shook his head. "Even if I agree, what identity will you use to enter the court? And what reason will you use to leave in the future? No, the court is not a joke."

Bai Yimeng knelt and came over, "This subject has thought it through, doesn't Your Majesty have guards?

I would like to borrow a set of clothes to pretend to be a Golden Armor Guard. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Mingde frowned, looked at Eunuch Chen and then at Bai Yimeng, "Why do I feel that you are interested in my Golden Armor Guards? Do you want to take them for yourself?

Let me think about it, there is no rush, go home and sleep first, I will tell you when I have thought it through. I only have two guards like this and I can’t give them both to you, no matter how much I pamper you.”

"I have a mean heart. Who wants your golden armor? I just want to borrow your clothes." Bai Yimeng saw that she couldn't get through, so she spoke without restraint. After she finished speaking, she regretted it, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking without restraint."

The anger that was about to ignite in Emperor Chengde was extinguished by Bai Yimeng's soft and cute apology.

After thinking it over again and again, "Okay, I approve. But there is one thing, you cannot speak. After all, you are a woman. This is the ancestral rule, and you cannot go beyond it."

Bai Yimeng knelt down to express his gratitude, and then fell asleep at the feet of Emperor Chengde like a kitten.

The next morning,

Bai Yimeng put on the clothes of the Golden Armor Guard as he wished, put on a helmet and mask, and stood beside Emperor Chengde.

To be honest, before she saw what the morning court looked like, she thought it was quite fun. Otherwise, Yuwen Ji and her elder brother wouldn't go there every day.

Now, she has also joined in, listening to the chattering of people from three provinces and six departments, which has made her fall asleep several times.

I secretly sighed, thank goodness for having this golden armor. Otherwise, I don't know how to survive the boring time.

With the support of the golden armor, she could sleep standing up without worrying about falling.

With a whoosh, a dart shot in from outside the palace and headed straight for Emperor Chengde.

Bai Yimeng turned around and reached out to grab the hidden weapon, wrapped it in a handkerchief and presented it to him.

The civil and military officials were wondering why there was a golden armored guard in the Golden Palace, but they did not dare to say much. Seeing this scene today, they seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation.

……

After the court was dismissed, there was no one around. Seeing Bai Yimeng standing aside, Emperor Chengde looked distressed, "There is no one here now, sit down and take a rest. How can you protect me if you tire yourself out?"

Bai Yimeng didn't say anything. Emperor Chengde wanted to get angry, but Eunuch Chen tried to smooth things over. "Your Majesty, it was you who told me not to let the little princess talk, or I would punish her with a stick."

Emperor Chengde simply ignored her and wanted to see how long this girl could hold on.

At lunch time, seeing that Bai Yimeng didn't eat, the old emperor was really anxious, "Who are you angry with for not eating or drinking this morning?

If you don't even eat lunch, just get out of here and don't make me angry."

"Eat." Bai Yimeng lifted his mask, picked up a handful of food from Emperor Chengde's bowl and dishes, and drank a mouthful of soup. "It's not poisonous. Your Majesty, I'm full."

"So I asked you to test the poison for me? There are poison testers in the palace. We don't need you. Eat yours."

"Your Majesty, I have checked all the things you have imported recently. It is not bad to be cautious in these times."

After Bai Yimeng finished speaking, he put on his mask and helmet again and stood aside without moving.

Emperor Chengde didn't know that Bai Yimeng had prepared a lot of fasting pills before entering the palace. Even if he didn't eat or drink for half a month, there would be no problem.

In the afternoon, Yuwen Ji and the three brothers of the Bai family entered the palace to discuss the matter of Prince Yunjiang coming to Beijing in five days.

Yuwen Ji looked at the golden armor guards and said, "Father, is the palace unsafe recently?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it. Once he mentioned it, Emperor Chengde was furious. "There was a bastard who insisted that I was in danger and wanted me to send a golden armor guard to my side."

Looking at the love-hate look on Emperor Chengde's face, one can tell who this "bastard" is. But no one expected that the "bastard" was right in front of them.

"My little sister is really a jerk. She's been away from home for five or six days and hasn't sent any letters back. I'm going to give her a good scolding when she comes back."

"Your Majesty, do you know where my younger sister has gone? Before she left, she said she was going to do something for you. If you knew, please help our three brothers." After saying this, Bai Yinan knelt down and kowtowed.

Bai Yimeng was somewhat surprised when she saw her elder brother like this.

Emperor Chengde sighed, "This girl has grown up now and dared to assign people to me. How would I know where they went?

Yinan, look back, if you see how it works, beat her up. Even though she is grown up, she is still a little naughty at heart. Beat her up and I will help you."

Bai Yinan was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Mingde looked at the golden armor guards beside him, sighed, and waved his hand, "Five days later, have the crown prince lead all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome Prince Su.

In the evening, a palace banquet will be held in Huanchun Garden to welcome Prince Su. I am tired, you all can go down."

In the evening, Emperor Chengde went to Fengming Palace. The Empress did not know that the golden armored guard behind the Emperor was Bai Yimeng. When she saw him, she scolded him harshly, "How dare you! You broke into the harem without permission?"

"Queen, calm down." Emperor Chengde glared at Bai Yimeng, "You little bastard, you really deserve a beating. How dare you come to Fengming Palace wearing this? Go and change quickly. Besides, the Queen and I are going to bed, what are you doing here?"

Bai Yimeng ignored this and sat down at the door of the palace, holding the sword and looking out of the palace. It was as if he was saying: You are busy with me, I can't hear you.

The old emperor was so angry that he threw a pillow at him and said, "Get out, or I'll beat you with a stick."

The queen had guessed something by now. There were only a few people in the world who dared to be so disrespectful. Even fewer could make the emperor so angry that he could even say a threatening word.

"Your Majesty, the little girl is worried about your safety, so just leave her there." The queen ordered Yu Jin to bring a blanket and cushion to Bai Yimeng, and walked up to her to help her brush off the dirt on her body.

In fact, the armor was very clean, the queen just wanted to do something. Bai Yimeng stretched out his armored arm, but the next second he realized something and retracted it.

"What are you trying to do by putting yourself in this state? Is there no one left in the palace? Why are you working so hard?

My son, take off your armor and go to the side hall to sleep. I promise you that this matter will not be spread to anyone else."

"Your Majesty, please go to sleep. I'm afraid it won't be peaceful tonight. I dare not sleep..."

Emperor Chengde was angry, and even more angry after hearing this. He pulled the queen back to the bed and said, "Don't pay attention to her. This child is just being naughty. Let her elder brother beat her up later."
