The Adventures of the Crying Princess
Chapter 96: Do you want to eat candied haws?
The next day, after the morning court session, Yuwen Ji came to Chen'an Palace. Seeing Bai Yimeng who had just woken up, the queen had lectured her all night.
It talked about why Emperor Chengde wanted Yuwen Ji to marry Princess Xiling, and how as early as when Xiling broke off the engagement, Emperor Chengde had been paying attention to that place and had sent people to keep an eye on the movements there.
While Bai Yimeng was fast asleep, the queen gave her medicine. When she woke up in the morning, she was able to jump up and down again.
Worried that the little girl was in a bad mood, Yuwen Ji deliberately took her to the shop on Dongsi Street, where more than a dozen workers were coming in and out, busy with decoration.
"As you said, I gave this shop to the king, and I started the construction. I thought I didn't have anything to sell, so I wanted to ask you, what do you think?"
In the carriage, Yuwen Ji pointed at the shop and showed it to Bai Yimeng. Bai Yimeng opened his eyes lazily, "Whatever, it doesn't matter. This shop is for you."
"Wow, you are really rich. My child, do you still remember the way to get rich that I told you last time? Guess what your father will give you this time?"
Yuwen Ji gently patted Bai Yimeng on the back and reasoned with her, "Child, your father really treats you as his daughter. But he is the emperor after all, and he is different from ordinary fathers. It's like..."
"I know! Stop talking. The Queen lectured me all night last night and I don't want to listen anymore."
When returning to the palace, Bai Yinan had been waiting in the main hall for a long time. Seeing the little sister in Yuwen Ji's arms, he pulled her ears hard and said, "Your Majesty disciplined you personally, and the queen took care of you all night. You are really honored, little sister."
Bai Yimeng felt that he had embarrassed himself yesterday, so he nestled in Yuwen Ji's arms and pretended to be dead.
Bai Yinan knew his sister's character, so he pulled Yuwen Ji to his study.
Under the pretext of chatting with Yuwen Ji, he deliberately said to her, "Your Majesty, you know that Princess Xiling is a seductress. His Majesty agreed to your marriage with her just to stabilize her.
The reason why His Majesty told my younger sister was that he guessed that this girl could not control herself and would definitely make some noise, which would just distract the other party's attention.
But this little girl actually dared to follow the princess. His Majesty originally just wanted to teach her a lesson, but this little girl had the guts to bite the emperor. His Majesty got so angry that he beat the little girl. "
"Brother, please stop talking about me."
Worried that Bai Yimeng would be scolded by Bai Yinan again for being rude, Yuwen Ji threw her out of the door and said, "Go play with Yi Tong and the others."
Then, he grabbed Bai Yinan and asked him all sorts of questions, "Has the Princess Xiling been captured?"
"Well, the little girl suffered a loss. Is Lu Lao Er capable? If he does it himself, there is nothing he can't do. As soon as he got the news, he sent people to rob the Xiling delegation. Princess Xiling's martial arts were abolished. Her arms and legs are still there, but she can't use them anymore.
As for the high priest, I heard he was also caught by him and almost beaten to death by Lu Lao Er."
Bai Yinan probably guessed that Bai Yimeng was outside the door, so he deliberately raised the volume.
After Bai Yinan left, Bai Yimeng dared to stick his head out, and jumped into the main hall. Maybe he was too excited, he sat down on the chair, jumped up with a "wow", and turned around in pain.
Yuwen Ji was so amused by her that his stomach hurt. He picked her up and said, "Little idiot, have you forgotten that you are still injured? Let's go. I will take you to eat something delicious."
After the Xiling delegation was escorted back to the capital, Emperor Chengde went to see them once. The high priest had long since lost his human form, and the Xiling Princess also had a crooked mouth and eyes.
"Your Majesty, I heard from General Bai that this is what happens when the person is found." Eunuch Chen applauded secretly in his heart, but his face was still sad.
Emperor Chengde nodded slightly. This result was just right. Otherwise, he would not know how to deal with these two people. "Send them back to Xiling and say that the princess and the high priest met with thieves on the road and had an unfortunate encounter. By the way, how is the King of Qi now?"
After all, he was his own son. Thinking of his ending, the old emperor couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, the Second Prince will still live in the Prince of Qi's Palace. It's just that the palace's expenses have stopped. Fortunately, everything in the palace is ready, so it's not too destitute."
Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, "Where is that little monkey?"
"I tried to coax Prince Yi for a long time, but he was still a little unhappy. I went to see him and saw that he had lost weight."
"She's spoiled. She's spoiled. I only slapped her twice, but she still dared to bite me. If she didn't bite me, would I have hit her hard? Now, she's still not happy? Don't bother with her, and tell the third brother not to spoil her too much."
Emperor Chengde came to the imperial study angrily. The grandson was already waiting inside with a book in his hand. When he saw Emperor Chengde, he politely bowed and greeted him, "Grandson greets Grandpa."
"Good boy, get up quickly." Seeing his grandson, Emperor Chengde finally smiled, "My grandson is still the best. Are you here to ask Grandpa to endorse your studies again?"
Yuwen Hui is now very good at memorizing, which is one of the things that makes Emperor Chengde most relieved. "You have memorized well. Hui'er has made great progress recently. Tell me what you want?"
"Sister Bai, she got beaten, and I want to go see her."
Looking at his grandson's innocent eyes, Emperor Chengde had no reason to refuse. But he just couldn't understand why Bai Yimeng was so good and why everyone doted on her.
After a while, he nodded and agreed, "Go ahead, but Hui'er, what are you going to do with the parrot?"
"Sister Bai has been unhappy recently. Grandma Huang asked Hui'er to find something to play with to cheer her up."
Emperor Chengde was surprised to hear that he was already seventeen years old, and still needed a ten-year-old child to coax him. Their Yuwen family really owed the old Bai family a lot.
After noon, the crown prince arrived at Prince Yi's mansion with a cart full of treasures. After talking to Yuwen Ji for a few words, he insisted on going to see Bai Yimeng, "Third uncle, where is Sister Bai? Is she okay?"
"I'm fine." Yuwen Ji was about to say, 'Your sister Bai is your third aunt.'
Before he could speak, the grandson had already slipped out and ran straight to Bai Yimeng's room. Yuwen Ji hurriedly chased him out and happened to see the gift that Hui'er gave to Bai Yimeng.
Looking at the pile of wooden knives and wooden slingshots, Yuwen Ji was a little speechless, "Hui'er, are you sure these are for Xiaobai?"
According to Yuwen Ji, these toys are suitable for ages no older than ten. It's acceptable for Hui'er to play with them, but Bai Yimeng... wouldn't it be a bit funny?
"Yes, the Empress Dowager said to give more to Sister Bai so that she wouldn't get bored." Yu Wenhui suddenly thought of something, "Madame Cui, bring the little beans quickly."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Nanny Cui quickly came back with a parrot and handed it to Yuwen Hui.
Yuwen Hui handed the parrot to Bai Yimeng, "Sister, this was given to me by Grandpa Emperor. You said you liked it last time, so I brought it to you."
Yuwen Ji was in a bad mood because he kept calling her sister. "Hui'er, if she likes these, I will buy them for her. You take them back."
With the experience from last time, Bai Yimeng knew that Yuwen Ji was jealous. He smiled and rejected the parrot, "Hui'er, keep it for yourself. Sister is grown up and doesn't want to play with these anymore."
"Sister, I'm sorry. Yesterday, Hui'er wanted to save you. But Nanny said that the Emperor was angry and it would be bad for sister if I went. I didn't understand, but Nanny wouldn't lie to me, so I didn't go."
Bai Yimeng really wanted to find a hole to crawl into and never come out again. She was beaten, how come so many people knew about it?
Seeing Bai Yimeng extremely embarrassed, Yuwen Ji rushed over to rescue her and carried Yuwen Hui out, "Okay Hui'er, let Xiaobai have a good rest, and we'll go out and talk.
In fact, you shouldn’t call her Sister Bai, she is your future Third Aunt…”
"Sister Bai is too young to get married."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ji really wanted to throw the man out.
Just after the Shen time, Emperor Chengde went to see the King of Qi quietly. When he came out, he felt very uncomfortable and wandered around the street casually.
I happened to meet a vendor selling candied haws, and thinking of the little monkey who was beaten by me, I bought a whole bunch of candied haws.
Arriving at the back door of Prince Yi's Mansion, crossing the courtyard, and arriving at Lanyue Pavilion, Bai Yimeng's room was playing with the small wooden sword that Yuwen Hui had given her. She had this thing before, too, and it was given to her by her father. Now she felt a special feeling when looking at it.
"I slapped you a few times, how come you are so thin? Didn't you not suffer any loss? You bit me hard. Queen, didn't I explain the truth to you all night? Don't you understand?"
Emperor Chengde really didn't understand why girls had so many emotions. Everything had been made clear, so why was she still throwing a tantrum?
"My maiden pays homage to Your Majesty."
Just as Bai Yimeng was about to stand up, he was held down. "I don't usually see you being so well-behaved, so forget it now."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Do you want to eat the candied haws? If not, I'll take it back to feed my grandson."
Seeing the candied haws, Bai Yimeng jumped out, his movements were so agile. Emperor Chengde naturally knew that the monkey was so easily injured, and he was probably pretending to be sick, because he owed the Bai family. Even if he saw it, he could only pretend not to see it.
"In half a month, there will be a hunting trip in the enclosure outside the city. You are injured and cannot go, which is a pity. You should stay at home and recuperate." After the old emperor finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Bai Yimeng.
"No, Your Majesty, I am fine. I can still show you how to climb a tree."
Seeing that Emperor Chengde was deliberately deceiving her, Bai Yimeng smiled awkwardly, and the candied haws in her mouth didn't seem to taste good anymore.
