The Adventures of the Crying Princess

Bai Yimeng was in seclusion for a full half month, and Emperor Chengde came to the General's Mansion almost immediately after the morning court session.

The eldest princess also came every day. The ninth princess and Yu Wenhui even moved into the house in Prince Mu's mansion.

That morning, after Longgu Master gave her acupuncture, she woke up and said, "Master, my body hurts so much."

"Baby, you're alive." Master Longgu felt a lump in his throat and looked at his disciple carefully.

"Master, don't cry. I'm fine. It's just that every bone hurts."

“You will be like this after you have just cleared the poison. Master will make some tonic for you and you will be fine in a few days.

During the days you were in seclusion, His Majesty, the Queen, the Grand Princess, the Ninth Princess, and the Crown Prince were all here.

That's enough, don't be stubborn. Master, let His Majesty come in, you can talk to him for a while."

Dragon Valley Master touched his apprentice's head and lowered his voice, "This old emperor buys candy men every day, just waiting for you to wake up and eat them. As the Son of Heaven, it is enough to do this.

Think carefully about how much he has loved you over the years. Tell me yourself, which of the troubles you have caused is not worthy of being beheaded or exterminated? His Majesty will at most give you a beating, what else do you want?

For you, he ignored the eldest princess for many years. For you, he broke many rules. You are the subject and he is the king. This is very subtle. It is impossible not to take advantage of him. It is enough to do this.

To be honest, there are many things that even Master may not be able to do. Don't go too far in a while, do you hear me?"

Bai Yimeng nodded slightly and turned her head away, feeling a little embarrassed. Longgu Master understood his disciple, rubbed her head and walked out.

Emperor Chengde walked in, holding a candy rabbit in his hand, and handed it to her, "The candy sellers all know me, and I always give them preferential prices when I go there. It's my father's fault that you got poisoned for no reason."

The way Emperor Chengde looked at Bai Yimeng was not as if he was looking at his daughter-in-law, but as if he were looking at his daughter. "I'll help you sit up for a while."

Bai Yimeng was thick-skinned, but she was too embarrassed to apologize or say soft words. Seeing Emperor Ming Cheng carefully taking care of her, she was a little tearful for a moment, "Father, please don't be like this, I can't adapt to it."

The long-lost "Father" completely melted the old emperor's heart, "Good boy, it's okay. You are willing to throw a tantrum at me, which means that you really regard me as your father.

If you treat them as a monarch and a subject, you won't complain, let alone get angry. It's okay for a child to act like a scoundrel to his parents."

Watching her eating the candy man, Emperor Chengde felt warm in his heart, "I admit that I used you more at first. But I don't know when I really treated you as my own daughter. I said that you are my tenth princess, and I never lied."

"I know. I was wronged there, and I felt bad, so I just... I lost my temper with you."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about something else. The poison you were poisoned with this time is very serious. The Queen and I have discussed it and plan to accompany you for a while."

Bai Yimeng didn't understand what it meant for the emperor and empress to accompany her.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Emperor Chengde explained, "It means exactly what it says. The Queen and I have moved to Prince Mu's Mansion behind the General's Mansion. Xiaojiu and Hui'er have also moved here. With more people around, it will be more lively, and you will get better faster."

"What about the palace? Aren't there a lot of things going on in the court?"

"As long as the crown prince is here, he is the third brother. I have appointed him as the crown prince, otherwise I would not have the leisure to live with you outside the palace."

Bai Yimeng's thoughts were a little confused, "Third brother, is it the prince? What about Hui'er?"

"Hui Er mentioned that I should depose him as the Crown Prince. I just felt a little sorry for this child, and I wanted to discuss it with you."

"The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince, there is nothing to discuss. My children are mediocre in intelligence, and they will just be rich and idle when they grow up. I plan to send them to Yumen Villa when they are older.

"Second Senior Brother is better at educating his children than I am. I hope my children can be rangers or farmers in the future, as long as they don't have anything to do with the rich and powerful."

"What if they are different from what you think?" Emperor Chengde believed Bai Yimeng's words, but the child is still young. Who can say what his character will be like in the future?

Bai Yimeng smiled and shook his head. "Hope is just hope. When they grow up, they can love however they want. My philosophy is the same as Master's. Apart from controlling their behavior, love can be whatever it wants. As long as they are alive, that's all."

Emperor Mingde smiled but said nothing, as if he thought that this might be better. After all, the children from Wan'an Valley were all of excellent character, except for this stinky monkey.

When the Queen and the Ninth Princess heard the news, they also came to see Bai Yimeng.

The Queen touched her head and said, "You are finally awake. Your Majesty has been watching over you every day these days. Don't be so foolish in the future."

The "foolishness" mentioned by the Queen included both her previous anger and her rash poison testing.

"Sister-in-law, everyone has been so worried about you these days since you were sick. Father bought a lot of food every day, just so you can eat it when you wake up. By the way, Xibao bites people, do you care? Look at what he bites."

The Ninth Princess stretched out her arm to show her. There was a faint tooth mark on her thin white arm. If she complained later, the tooth mark would have disappeared.

"You can hit him, don't be polite, and don't give me face. If he bites me, I usually pinch him." Bai Yimeng smiled and rubbed her arm.

The queen frowned as she listened, "That won't do. He's still young and doesn't understand things. He'll be fine when he grows up."

"I beat him because he was young and didn't know what to say. It will be too late to discipline him when he grows up."

Emperor Chengde nodded in agreement. That stinky monkey, wasn't she spoiled when she was little, and she became harder to control as she grew older.

The nanny came in one after another, holding five children. Ping An ran up and hugged Bai Yimeng's neck and cried, "Mother..."

Seeing Ping'an crying, Xile also started crying. The three little ones followed their older brother and sister and started crying.

Bai Yimeng patted Ping An and said, "You're still breathing, but you're almost crying. If you didn't know, you would have thought I was dead."

"You're talking nonsense again." The queen patted her head gently, "You can't talk nonsense in front of the children."

Yuwen Ji got the news and immediately rushed back from the government office. At this time, the children were all carried out, "Child, you finally woke up."

He picked her up and put her on a chair, then squatted down and looked at her, "Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?"

Seeing tears in his eyes, Bai Yimeng lowered her head and kissed his eyes, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of being laughed at for looking like this?"

Yuwen Ji buried his head in her belly and muttered softly, "I'm so scared, really scared. I almost lost you so many times, I'm really scared."

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to try the poison for my father. You know I'm usually immune to all poisons. But I forgot that I'm weak and have limited internal strength, so I can't withstand the poison. Fortunately, my master helped me to remove the poison."

Bai Yimeng put it simply, but the fact was that she snatched Emperor Chengde's soup and drank it all that day, deliberately angering the old emperor and making him leave the table in anger so as to end the lunch as soon as possible.

Afterwards, she told Emperor Chengde that the bowl of soup was poisonous and gave him powder to test for poison. The powder was more accurate than the one used by the palace maids to test for poison.

There is no point in going into detail about these things now, so just leave it as it is.

Yuwen Ji touched her head and looked at her pitifully, "Don't worry, wait for me."

"Yeah." They had never discussed this issue before, but they both understood each other. Bai Yimeng held his hand, "I want to take Xiaojiu away."

"What do you think of Su Beichen? I want to match him up with Xiaojiu." Yuwen Ji knew what his wife meant and immediately mentioned Su Beichen.

"Su Beichen? He's actually quite talented. Now is not the right time. Wait, let me ask Xiaojiu tentatively. Our Xiaojiu is a daughter of a rich family, so we can't be careless in choosing a son-in-law."

The emperor and the empress eavesdropped outside the door and smiled at each other. The emperor and the empress didn't know why Yuwen Ji asked Bai Yimeng to wait for him, nor did they know what it meant to take Xiaojiu away. They only understood that Su Beichen was to be betrothed to their Xiaojiu.

The emperor and empress were happy. Su Beichen was a good person, but a little silly.

Even if their little princess is not remarried, marrying the son of the Grand Tutor is a good match. You know, the marriage of the ninth princess has become a knot in the heart of the emperor and empress.

It is not easy for a woman who has been married once to find another husband, let alone a Dali Temple official who is getting married for the first time. Su Taifu is knowledgeable and talented. He has taught three generations of crown princes and is famous for his good calligraphy.

If their ninth princess could marry into such a family, it would definitely not be too bad. And from what Bai Yimeng said, it probably wouldn't wrong their little ninth princess. In this way, the knot in the heart of the emperor and empress was resolved.
