Chapter 38: The Results of Careful Consideration
Xiao Bi has also figured out Emperor Tianqing's temper.
Sometimes lying is necessary, and sometimes telling the truth is necessary.
She still said angrily: "Who am I, Xin Meiren? Why should I treat her?"
"You little guy!" Emperor Tianqing shook his head: "No wonder you have always embarrassed me in the past few months. The root cause is this Xin Meiren!"
Xiao Bi pouted and did not answer any more words.
Emperor Tianqing said: "Children, there are some things that I can't explain to you at the moment.
I know that you hate the Xin family, so I have turned a blind eye to the things you have done recently."
Xiao Bi pretended to be surprised: "So my brother-in-law knows everything?"
"Nonsense!" Emperor Tianqing took a sip of tea and said, "Your father is not only Duke Ding of Wei, but also my father-in-law.
He is not old and has always been in good health. Suddenly, he made a statement saying that he was ill and wanted to resign from his official position. He also said that he would pass the title to the crown prince. Shouldn't I send someone to investigate what is going on here?
"
Xiao Bi twirled her fingers and lowered her head in silence.
Emperor Tianqing sighed: "Your child's temper is too stubborn.
Duke Dingguo did indeed do some bad things, but he is your biological father after all.
When it comes to resenting him, would your eldest sister and your second brother be inferior to you?
Although they had been waiting for the Duke to be indifferent for more than ten years, he always remembered to take care of family ties and the dignity of the family.
It's good for you, just do whatever you want.
The abbot of the Wei Dynasty kicked him out of the house and extorted all his savings over the years.
Wei Chuo was blackmailed by you for fifty thousand taels not long ago, are you so short of money?"
Xiao Bi still lowered her head and remained silent.
The fact that her brother-in-law is still willing to scold her means that she has finally turned the page on her expulsion of her father from the house.
With His Majesty the Emperor protecting me, my father has no chance of turning around in this life.
It doesn't hurt to be scolded a few times, just scold me if you want!
Emperor Tianqing's mouth was dry, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one go.
Little Nian's father-in-law quickly took the opportunity to walk into the pavilion and refill his cup of tea.
"The princess is still young, so her behavior is inevitably a little impatient. Why should your majesty be angry?"
"Look, I'm even smarter than you at this young age!" Emperor Tianqing pointed at Xiao Bi several times.
Xiao Bi raised her eyes and looked at him pitifully: "Anyway, I've already done the job. Besides, you've scolded me and punished me, so it's not good to keep holding on to me, right?"
"When did I punish you?" Emperor Tianqing frowned.
Xiao Bi said: "If you hadn't ordered the Qilin Guards to accompany you, I would still be eating vegetarian food in Baiyun Temple!"
Emperor Tianqing looked at Eunuch Xiaonian helplessly: "Look what she said. She is a carnivorous person since she was a child, but she actually told me to go to a nunnery to eat vegetarian food?"
Father-in-law Xiaonian said with a smile: "Occasionally eat a few vegetarian meals to change the taste. Meat tastes more delicious."
Emperor Tianqing was amused by him: "You two are always talking nonsense when you get together, but I can't find fault with you!"
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Bi: "Qilin Guard has been established for more than two months, and the training effect far exceeds my expectations.
But these improvements have little to do with you as the captain, the credit goes to Huan Ji and Cao Kun."
Xiao Bi hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law is right, I will definitely put more thought into the training of Qilin Guards from now on."
Emperor Tianqing said: "There are few places in the capital that can be used for military purposes. The Qilin Guards are always trapped in small schools for training, and it will be difficult for them to become great talents in the future.
This time I asked the Qilin Guards to accompany you, just because I want you and Huan Yu to take them out for a adventure and practice riding and shooting skills."
"Brother-in-law's plan coincides with mine. There are several hunting grounds near the palace, perfect for practicing riding and shooting."
"I feel a little moved when I hear what you say. After everything is settled in a few days, let's have a lively competition."
"It's best if my brother-in-law is willing to give up. Then we can still have barbecue..."
The two of them were talking about getting along well, when someone from the palace came to report that Prince Rong wanted to see him.
Xiao Bi's cheerful little face suddenly became wilted.
How could she forget Wei Yuan's sticky glutinous rice dumplings?
It's been two months, and that guy hasn't returned to his fiefdom yet. That's enough!
Emperor Tianqing looked at her appearance and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Yuan is also a stubborn person like you. The more you stop him, the more he will go to the dark side.
You deceived him with a trick, and he kept holding this breath in his stomach. King Rong tried to take him back to his fief several times, but he refused.
Xiaojiu, I can't help you with this matter, you have to solve everything by yourself."
After that, he told Eunuch Xiaonian: "Go and bring Prince Rong in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Little Nian's father-in-law turned around and left quickly.
Xiao Bi was lying on the piano table with a headache.
Emperor Tianqing joked: "Looking at the entire Wei Dynasty, Brother Yuan's conditions are among the best, but Xiaojiu is not tempted at all?"
Xiao Bi buried her face in her arms and sneered secretly.
The heart of an emperor is truly unpredictable.
The brother-in-law clearly did not want the Dingguo Palace and Rongwang Palace to marry, but he chose to say such a thing in front of himself.
But he always forgot one thing, and that was the imperial edict that his mother had prayed for her.
It has been more than ten years since Emperor Fengping passed away, but his brother-in-law was unable to resist the imperial edict.
If she falls in love with Wei Yuan, or a young master from a powerful family, can her brother-in-law stop her?
It's so boring to keep testing her with these words even though you know you can't stop her!
She raised her little face and said with a smile: "I have my brother-in-law and eldest sister to protect me, and I also have the dowry left by my mother. Is my condition worse than Wei Yuan?
King Rong's fiefdom is so far away from the capital, I don't want to live there all my life."
Emperor Tianqing laughed and said: "That's right, how can that place compare with the capital!"
While talking, Eunuch Xiaonian took Wei Yuan into the small garden.
Xiao Bi sat up straight, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
Wei Yuan saluted Emperor Tianqing and glanced at Xiao Pei's face.
On the day when little Jiu Jinchan came out of his shell, his father said a lot to him.
The most important thing is that when she comes back, I hope he can figure out what he really wants and how to get everything he wants.
In the past two months, apart from studying and practicing martial arts, he had spent almost all his time thinking about this issue.
So much so that even though he knew that Xiao Xiaojiu had returned to Beijing, he still did not leave the palace to look for her.
Because he thought clearly about the first sentence, but never could understand the latter sentence.
He not only wants to marry Xiao Xiaojiu, but also wants to win her heart.
But Xiao Xiaojiu is too elusive and difficult to deal with.
What on earth can he do to impress her and make her willing to become the Crown Princess of Prince Rong's Palace?
Today he came to the palace with his imperial brother. As soon as he settled in his residence, he heard that Xiao Xiaojiu had come to Lanyi Palace.
He didn't know why, but he followed him by accident.
