Chapter 16: The Might of Consort (1)

Seeing the always quirky little girl suddenly become silly, He Shaoting, who was a bit embarrassed at first, also unknowingly smiled.

He put the little girl on the ground, supported her chubby body, and exhorted her, “Stand steady.”

Xu Yun Yao was still in a state of dizziness.

Ah? Stand steady? Her legs had gone weak. How could she stand steadily?

The unattainable white moonlight boy had actually kissed her! Xu Yun Yao felt as if she was in a dream.

This boy was crowned a great general at 18, a marquis at 20, and died at 22. Even more, Emperor Taizong, despite his illness, wrote a funeral for him himself!

When he died, although she wasn’t a servant who attended upon someone but a concubine of the new crown prince, she didn’t have the qualifications to attend his memorial ceremony. She could only remember him alone in the silent night, recalling the memories of the moonlit boy who had saved her life.

Seeing that the little girl’s legs seemed to be jelly and her body swaying as soon as he let go, as if she would fall down the next moment, He Shaoting had no choice but to pick her up again.

Xu Yun Yao tightly hugged his neck, and her black and white eyes became amazingly bright. Her face flushed as the little dimples on her cheeks deepened.

Although he was not the future General He at the moment, she was not the future Consort Shu either! No, in this life, she would not be confined to being a small concubine. She wanted to be a queen, the queen of the world, the queen who had 10,000 people under her!

There was determination in her eyes.

When she became a queen, she would surely praise him and record his achievements in detail in the history books so that the future generations would remember his contribution to the court and the people!

He Shaoting’s body was a bit stiff.

From his memories, he had always been the one who got bullied. And the people who bullied him were children who were older than him. Sometimes, children of the same age and those younger than him would also get in on the fun.

For example, the daughter of Uncle Sun and Madam Dong.

When the older and the same age children bullied him, he could resist or fight back. However, when he was bullied by the younger ones, he couldn’t defend himself because he would be beaten by adults if he did so.

As time went by, he realized that the younger the child, the more terrible it was, and the children from the wealthy families were even more frightening than a drunken father.

Like right now, the little girl in his arms was born wealthy, good-looking, and loved by her parents. She was energetic and playful on the surface but vicious in her heart. She was a character he should steer clear of.

But at this time, he couldn’t let go of this vicious girl.

Soft, fragrant, and sweet. Was the girl originally like this? He was a little confused.

Xu Yun Yao dilly-dallied in his embrace, feeling happy. Although the small body holding her was still very thin, it didn’t matter. He would grow up someday.

“Zhou’ger, Little Treasure…” Ruan-shi’s voice suddenly came from a distance. Then, Zhou’ger walked away in the direction of the sound. “Mother…”

Ruan-shi pinched her son’s cheeks and asked in a soft voice, “Where’s your sister?”

" "

“Sister isn’t obedient. She sat on the ground, asking for a kiss, and only got up after she got it. She’s not as obedient as Brother Zhou!” Zhou gē er rolled his eyes and replied with a crisp sound.

Consort Xu, who was being led by He Shaoting, almost slipped and stepped on dog’s shit. “…”

When did she ask for a kiss? When did she say that?! Tang Huai Zhou, he could pretend to be a well-behaved child in front of their mother all he wanted, but he didn’t need to defame her and take her to serve as a foil for himself!

She glared at the smiling and cheeky Zhou gē er in Ruan-shi’s arms, wanting to scratch that hateful yet beautiful smiling face!

Cui Wen, who was behind Ruan-shi, chuckled upon looking at the sight. “The girl is annoyed that her mother only hugs her brother and not her.”

“I think it’s jealousy.” Bi Wen also couldn’t help laughing.

Xu Yun Yao became angry and retorted, “No, no, no!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Little Treasure isn’t like that. It’s them who wronged Little Treasure.” Ruan-shi couldn’t help but squat down and lightly tap the tip of her daughter’s nose in a humorous mood.

Xu Yun Yao was even more annoyed for some reason. She turned around, hugged the waist of the young boy next to her, and buried her face in his arms.

The old man had married a stupid woman, and the girls that they taught were also foolish!

Ruan-shi returned to the old residence with Tang Song Nian while bringing her pair of son and daughter. Tang Bai Nian’s appointment letter had already arrived. Regardless of the process, as the members of the Tang family, they should still congratulate him.

After all, this was also a happy event for the Tang family.

Xu Yun Yao reluctantly left the embrace of her moonlit hero. She was then taken back to the house by Ruan-shi to change into clean clothes. Together with Bi Wen, the family of four got on the carriage, heading to the old residence of the Tang family.

The old residence of the Tang family wasn’t too far from the county government office. It was about an hour-long journey.

Xu Yun Yao was held by Bi Wen, followed by Tang Song Nian and his mother, Wang-shi. Ruan-shi was holding Zhou gē er’s hand and occasionally teased her daughter with a few words.

Tang Bai Nian had become an official, and he wanted everyone to know it. Therefore, a banquet was held today, and even those who were not very familiar were also invited.

“Congratulations, Brother Tang. I wish Brother Tang great success and hope for Brother Tang’s help in the future.”

“Brother Tang is a man of great talents. And now he lives up to the saying ‘Bo Le encounters a long-distance horse'[1], which is really gratifying!”
