Chapter 11 Kill the Emperor and Become the Queen Mother (11)

Speaking of the emperor, Lady Zhao held her son's hand even tighter. She said, "Jinnian, your mother's second half of her life depends on you. You must strive to be good and win the favor of your father. Do you know that? Do you understand?"

In the slightly dim light, her condition looked somewhat scary.

Xiao Jinnian originally had a lot to say to his mother, including what happened when he met the Queen today, but now he couldn't say anything. He frowned and nodded, "Mother, I know, please let me go first, I'm going to read a book."

Lady Zhao let go obediently, "Okay, okay, Jinnian, go read a book."

Looking at her son's small figure, she looked expectant...

Concubine Zhao was just a palace maid who climbed into the emperor's bed after he was drunk. The emperor happened to be in a bad mood at that time, and it was not until she became pregnant that he gave her the title of beauty.

She thought she would live a life of wealth and luxury, but the emperor seemed to have forgotten her.

She did not have a strong maternal family, and she was born a palace maid, so the palace people all flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak.

The only thing she hoped for now was that Xiao Jinnian would do better...

Day two.

After the morning class, Xiao Jinnian did not go home. He took his second brother to Fengyi Palace without even having lunch.

Nan Yue had already instructed the palace servants of Fengyi Palace that when they saw the two princes coming, they did not stop them or ask any questions, but let them in directly.

When they arrived, Nan Yue was just finishing her sword practice. After finishing the last move, she made a beautiful sword flower and inserted the sword into the scabbard. Her movements were indescribably neat and graceful.

Banxia stepped forward and handed her a handkerchief. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at the two of them. "Here they come."

The girl was wearing a cross-collared, narrow-sleeved dress, a dark belt outlining her slender waist, and her black hair was tied up high, like a wild goose that had strayed into the deep palace, even the ends of her hair were wantonly flamboyant...

If no one told me, who would have known that the girl in front of him was actually a descendant of a country.

Xiao Jinnian was stunned for a moment, then he began to applaud with shining eyes, his admiration was beyond words, "The Queen is so amazing, she can even dance with a sword!"

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes were clear and bright, and his fingers hidden under his long sleeves moved slightly. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment...

"Do you want to learn?" Nan Yue asked.

Xiao Jinnian nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"I'll teach you in a few days."

Xiao Jinnian was a little confused, "Why not today?" He wanted to learn now.

Nan Yue walked over and flicked his forehead with her finger, "I said a few days, so it's a few days. Don't ask so many questions, little guy."

The kid is now malnourished, pale and skinny, and he hasn't even laid a solid foundation yet, yet he wants to learn swordsmanship. He should get his body in shape first.

Xiao Jinnian felt the pain and cried out, covering his forehead. "Okay, I won't ask any more questions. I'll listen to you, Madam!"

The kid is kind of cute like this. Nan Yue curled her lips slightly, with a very small arc. Just be obedient. She doesn't like rebellious kids.

Xiao Jinnian no longer cared about the pain and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you look so beautiful when you smile. This is the first time I see you smile. Did I make you happy?"

Nan Yue's face instantly became expressionless, hiding the slight smile in her eyes, "You're wrong."

At such a young age, you are still smooth-talking and have no intention of learning a good lesson!

"Yanzhi also saw it. The queen is so beautiful when she smiles." Xiao Yanzhi also said.

Well, it turns out the little brat learned this from this big guy.

Nan Yue raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, "Why are you following me again?"

Before Xiao Yanzhi could answer, Xiao Jinnian rushed to say, "It was me who asked the Second Brother to come. The Second Brother helped me yesterday, and I was afraid that the Fourth Brother and the others would cause trouble for him, so I asked him to come along. Your Majesty, please don't dislike him. The Second Brother is a very nice person and smart!"

"How smart?" Nan Yue asked.

"Um, this..." Xiao Jinnian paused, unable to say anything. What his second brother taught him was very powerful, some of which even the young master could not teach, but his second brother did not let him tell anyone...

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said softly: "My lady, he is just talking nonsense. Yanzhi is stupid."

"Yeah, I noticed that." Nan Yue nodded, but there was not much disgust in her eyes.

Xiao Yanzhi's smile deepened, and he bowed and saluted, "It is precisely because Yanzhi is not smart enough that I came to ask for advice, Your Majesty."

Nan Yue: "I don't teach idiots."

Xiao Yanzhi: “…” Wrong decision.

Xiao Jinnian: "..."Ah this...

No, the second prince is really not stupid!

There was an eerie silence for a while, and the two princes tacitly agreed not to mention the issue of stupidity or not.

Without waiting for Nan Yue to ask, Xiao Jinnian told her what he had learned today and added some of his own thoughts.

Nan Yue was very satisfied with his self-awareness. After he finished speaking, she said calmly, "I will teach you something else this afternoon."

Xiao Jinnian opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Thank you, Madam."

He suddenly thought of something, looked at his second brother standing next to him, and said, "My queen, can you bring my second brother with you?"

Nan Yue nodded indifferently and agreed.

Anyway, the kid is only five years old, and she won't teach him any imperial tactics, so it's okay for Xiao Yanzhi to listen in.

……

The medicinal recipe that Nan Yue asked the Imperial Hospital to prepare was prepared this morning. She also checked it and found no problems.

The medicinal food was prepared separately in the small kitchen. It was simmered for the whole morning and served at lunch.

The medicinal food was placed in front of Xiao Jinnian. He was a little confused. Why didn't his second brother have any?

Banxia explained: "This is the medicinal food that Her Majesty specifically instructed the Imperial Hospital and the Kitchen to prepare to nourish your body, the Fifth Prince."

She now finds it increasingly difficult to understand the Empress. She originally thought that the Empress had become indifferent because of the Emperor and no longer cared about other people or things.

But he was very kind to the Fifth Prince. Could it be that... he felt sorry for him?

She looked at the Fifth Prince's little face. Because he was thin, there was not much flesh on his cheeks, which made his eyes look big. Now he was looking at the Empress and smiling foolishly.

She sighed in her heart, what a pitiful child. Although she was a maid, she had been serving the young lady personally since she entered the general's mansion. Her life was much better than that of ordinary people. She had never seen a child from a wealthy family like this.

What's more, this is not an ordinary wealthy family, but a royal palace.

Xiao Jinnian was eating the medicinal food. Maybe it was because of the heat, but his eyes felt a little sore...

Apart from his second elder brother, the Queen Mother was the best person to him.

He suddenly raised his head and called her in a low voice, "...Mother."

Sincerely calling out these two words, it seemed... not as difficult as he had imagined.

Nan Yue hummed softly as a response.

444 couldn't help but pop up again, "Host, why are you so nice to these two princes? Even if you want to improve the princes' favor, you don't have to improve these two! They are really useless!"

It doesn't know what to say. The host is so lucky that these two are exactly the two that the target dislikes the most.

The fifth prince is lucky, he has a little chance of being loved.

But the second prince was simply hated by the target! After all, Bai Yueguang's death was also caused by her mother...

444 was a little anxious, but it didn't want to reveal too much to the host.

After all, it has no control over this host.

"How can you be sure it's useless? I think it's very useful." Nan Yue said lightly.
