Ajiu

Chapter 55
How old is your little junior sister?Less than five years old.

The little beauty who is less than five years old...

The emperor was really itchy in his heart, and wanted to open his mouth to make a little joke.But it was really a joke, and I was afraid that Xiao Shi would be thin-skinned and embarrassed.After struggling for a while, the emperor decided not to say anything.Xiao Shi is still an innocent child, if he is ashamed, he only dares to think about the little girl in his heart, dare not speak out, and dare not try to please him, how much fun will he lose?

The tenth prince put away the strange stone, and happily told the emperor what lessons the teacher taught him, what marksmanship he learned, and how many people he knocked down while practicing kung fu...

"Xiao Shi is really amazing!" The emperor listened quietly with a smile, seeing the tenth prince looking at him expectantly, he praised with a smile.

Holding the box containing the strange stones, the tenth prince asked courteously, "Can I deliver it to my junior sister myself?" Speaking of which, he hadn't seen his junior junior sister for many days, but he missed that naughty little girl a little.

The emperor deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, "Is this..."

The tenth prince vowed, "Next time we meet, I will praise you for being as light as a swallow, and you will never break your promise!" The emperor thought for a while, "Father is already as light as a swallow, and Xiao Shi is going out of the palace to stroll around here. It seems that there is no reason not to agree to such a small matter."

Jokingly speaking, the matter that the tenth prince could go out of the palace to give gifts to the younger junior sister was happily settled.

"Junior Junior Sister likes beautiful stones, and also likes delicious fruits." The tenth prince ordered several baskets of fresh winter dates, winter peaches, grapes, etc., and the emperor was beaming.

After discussing serious matters, the tenth prince wanted to go back to Kunning Palace, "I'm going to have dinner with my mother." The emperor pretended to be angry, "Little ten without a conscience, I only know how to be filial to your mother and forget about my father." The tenth prince was surprised , "Aren't you going to see Little Eleven and Little Twelve?" The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth princes are all young and live in Guangfu Palace, and the emperor often goes to see them.

You are going to see them. Of course I will go back to accompany my mother. Is there anything wrong with that?

Thinking of the three immature and lovely little sons, the emperor's heart skipped a beat, "Go, Dad, go see your younger brother. Xiao Shi thinks about my younger brother? If so, then go with Dad."

The tenth prince shook his head, "I'm not going, my brother is not fun." The emperor laughed, "My brother is very interesting, why isn't it fun anymore? Xiao Shi, is it possible that only your junior sister is the only one who is fun." The tenth prince was very proud, " Of course! My little junior sister can debate and compose poems, you little person, you know everything, you know everything, it’s so much fun!"

After boasting a few words, the tenth prince said excitedly: "I will have dinner with my mother tonight, and I only have half a day of class the day after tomorrow. I will go out of the palace after class, and give my junior sister strange stones and fruits. By the way, I will take a stroll at Yinding Bridge." .Dad, I am very happy!"

His small face as white as jade is crystal clear and moist, and the phoenix eyes are shining with joy. This is the happiness that belongs to children. It is very pure, very simple, very clean, and does not contain a trace of worldly scum.

The emperor looked at such a tenth prince, feeling a little envious and a little jealous in his heart.Xiao Shi, I'm afraid Dad will never have such happiness again.

"Father will go to Kunning Palace with you!" the emperor laughed.

"Really?" A look of surprise flashed in the beautiful phoenix eyes of the tenth prince, and then, as if afraid that the emperor would regret it, he stepped forward and hugged the emperor's arm, urging him to go quickly, "I'm hungry, hurry up!" ,hurry up!"

The ten princes were handsome and straight, but the emperor was fat and tottering. The two stood side by side, forming an interesting contrast.

The emperor smiled, was half pulled and half coaxed by the tenth prince, and walked towards the hallway.

If the emperor wanted to go to the Kunning Palace, it was actually very convenient. He walked through the hall, passed the Jiaotai Hall, and then it was where his wife lived.

However, he may not be willing to go to places that are very convenient to go to, places that can be reached by lifting his feet.

The tenth prince ignored the servants and maids behind him, and while pulling the emperor forward, he reasoned with him seriously, "You go to other places, do you want to take a sedan chair? You can go to Kunning Palace, go You can just walk through the hall. You can walk this distance every day to ensure that you are as light as a swallow!" The emperor listened with a smile, noncommittal.

A servant had already rushed to report the news. When the emperor was about to arrive, Empress Zhang came out to greet her in person, "Your Majesty is such a rare visitor." Empress Zhang smiled slightly, with a hint of alienation in her expression.

"There's no reason for that." The emperor couldn't help but said with a smile, "Is I a guest? I'm clearly the master of Kunning Palace..."

The emperor let go of the tenth prince, took two steps towards Empress Zhang, and said in a low voice, "...husband."

The emperor and empress were very close, and there seemed to be reproach in the emperor's eyes.I am your husband, when did I become a guest?Empress Zhang smiled reservedly, "Look at me, I just made a slip of the tongue." The emperor also smiled, "Since the empress slipped, I will punish you with three glasses of wine, how about it?"

"Do you have any wine?" The tenth prince ran to the emperor and empress, his eyes sparkling.

"Beautiful thinking." Empress Zhang scolded, "Kids are from every family, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol."

The tenth prince showed a look of frustration and disappointment, pitiful.The emperor couldn't bear it, so Empress Zhang chuckled, "I'm sorry, I'll let you have a drink, a small one."

Empress Zhang smiled like this, and the atmosphere was not as strange and depressing as before. The maids and servants who served were secretly relieved.

The emperor, empress, and tenth prince sat down to eat, and the tenth prince was allowed to drink a small glass of Lihua Bai. He raised his eyes contentedly, "Tonight is really beautiful, with parents and mothers, and wine."

Empress Zhang is over half a hundred years old, what kind of storms have she not seen, what kind of ups and downs have she not tasted?Hearing the Tenth Prince's emotion, his eyes turned red and he bowed his head in silence.

The emperor felt a little guilty in his heart.

After dinner, the tenth prince flirted with his parents for a while before returning to the prince's residence reluctantly.As soon as the ten princes left, Empress Zhang changed her face, she was extremely cold and indifferent, the emperor sat for a long time, but Empress Zhang just ignored him.

The emperor coughed, "Order someone to prepare soup, I want to take a bath."

Empress Zhang looked at him in surprise, "Your Majesty is not going to Guangfu Palace?"

Concubine Qiu Gui is really the darling of the emperor, and she has to live in Guangfu Palace for about 20 days in a month.Suddenly not going tonight, it's strange.

The emperor really wanted to see his three young sons, as well as the delicate and lively Qiu family, but he was too embarrassed to leave tonight.

"Not going." The emperor said vaguely.

This time, I am a rare visitor. If I come back next time, I may not know what will happen.

The emperor stayed in the Kunning Palace steadily all night.

In Guangfu Palace, the young and beautiful Concubine Qiu Gui broke a teapot, six teacups, and three vases.In the west side room where she lived, there were broken porcelain all over the floor, and it was a mess.

The mothers and sisters had quick eyes and quick hands, and they hugged the three princes far away, so as not to scare them.

"He said he would accompany me tonight! He said so!" Concubine Qiu Gui gritted her silver teeth.

The cold moonlight shone in, and she looked more and more desolate. Concubine Qiu Gui hated it for a long time, and couldn't help crying, "My life is miserable." She was neglected in Xingguo Duke's mansion when she was a child, and became a stunning beauty when she grew up. Concubine Chong, still have to guard the vacant room alone.

When the emperor came to Guangfu Palace the next night, Concubine Qiu Gui refused to show him a good face.The emperor laughed, "It's really unfilial!" He and Concubine Qiu were decades apart, and he usually joked around, often treating Concubine Qiu as his daughter.

The emperor had the courage to laugh at himself.

Concubine Qiu gambled for a while, but didn't dare to take too much airs, the emperor coaxed her a few words, and then returned the anger. "My father ignored me when I was young, Your Majesty, you can't just leave me alone like my father." Qiu Guifei said coquettishly.

The emperor smiled and said: "If you are filial, how can I have the heart to abandon you." After flirting and cursing, the two reconciled.

Concubine Qiu asked jealously: "Last night, what clever trick did the queen use to keep you?" The emperor smiled, "The queen is an old man just like me. You have to respect the old, you know?" The emperor's expression was gloomy, and Concubine Qiu felt terrified, knowing that she could no longer be entangled, she busily smiled and talked about the interesting stories of the three little princes, the emperor listened, his eyes softened.

Concubine Qiu Gui secretly rejoiced.

"Children are really fun and interesting." The corner of the emperor's lips curled up, "Small ones are fun, and big ones are also fun. Like Xiao Shi, who is only seven or eight years old now, so he already knows Mu Shaoai."

Concubine Qiu Gui's heart was pounding, the tenth prince knew Mu Shaoai, who was it?Who else could it be?

She really wanted to pretend she didn't hear it, but how dare she spoil the emperor's interest?With a coquettish smile, he graciously asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, does the ten princes know Mu Shaoai? Which family's little girl is so lucky?"

The emperor laughed aloud, "It's actually Pei Kai's granddaughter. Pei Kai is upright, capable, and conscientious. Although he can't be called the most capable official in the world, he is almost the same. For a person like him, his little granddaughter is actually Yuxue cute." , Lively and interesting, both quarrelsome and talented, really unexpected."

Shouldn't Pei Kai's granddaughter have a stern face, very serious and unkind?The emperor thought of Taishou Pei's words and deeds, and thought of the weird little girl that the tenth prince said, and couldn't help laughing.

The smile on Concubine Qiu Gui's face froze.

I just boasted that if I wanted to tell the girl from the Pei family to the eldest son of Marquis Linjiang, His Majesty the Emperor would tell me that the ten princes like that girl!If I stop here, I will really lose face. If I insist on going my own way, Your Majesty...what will happen to Your Majesty?

Concubine Qiu Gui was thinking a lot, hesitating, but saw the emperor turned his head and looked at her and smiled, "You know about this, but don't tell others, and don't let it out. If you embarrass Xiao Shi, let Xiao Shi be ashamed." I'm sorry, but I don't agree."

Concubine Qiu bit the bullet and agreed, "How can I? I definitely won't, don't worry."

The next morning, when the emperor was sent away, Concubine Qiu Gui was rather absent-minded, she didn't even bother to take care of her three sons, she sat alone by the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

She didn't want to break her promise, and she didn't want to lose face; but against the emperor, she weighed her own weight, not knowing whether it was enough or not.

How far has His Majesty loved me?Can the combined weight of me and my three sons exceed one Tenth Prince?

For a while, Concubine Qiu felt that the emperor loved her to the bottom of her heart, couldn't do without her, and couldn't bear to part with her, but for a while she felt that the emperor was the emperor after all, and his majesty was quite scary, and he couldn't disobey her.

On this day, she was really suffering.

After the tenth prince finished his class, he happily left the palace with the royal guard assigned to him by the emperor, heading for the Yinding Bridge.

"Your Highness, should we go for a stroll first, or go to the West Garden first?" Commander Cheng of Jin Yiwei came over to ask for instructions.The emperor had an oral order that the tenth prince could go to the West Garden as a guest when he left the palace this time, and he could also take a look at the scenery around Yinding Bridge.

"Go to the West Garden first." The Tenth Prince ordered.

Commander Cheng waved his hand, and the group went to the West Garden by the Yinding Bridge.

Ajiu was kicking sandbags with a few little girls in the yard, when she saw a group of Jin Yiwei suddenly barging in, she frowned.

"Junior Sister, you're kicking a sandbag." The Tenth Prince walked in slowly, and was delighted to see Ajiu's cute pink face.

It's this person again, with a group of Jinyiwei who are like wolves and tigers!
Don't you know how scary it is to have a group of Jinyiwei suddenly break into your home?If you want to come to my house, you can't tell me in advance. You and my father often meet, and you will die if you say hello?
Ajiu glared at the Tenth Prince angrily, wanting to have a big fight with him.
