Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 439 Gossip

Xiao Yining immediately noticed the source of the gaze, but she pretended not to notice and continued to listen to Liu Zhenying's chattering.

"After Concubine Nuan smiled at my father yesterday, His Majesty gave him a meaningful look. My father stared at His Majesty's portrait last night and pondered all night, but he still couldn't figure out the meaning of that look."

Hearing this, Yan Ke also temporarily pulled herself out of the annoyance of her father being driven away. She first glared at the back of the Second Prince, then sighed with pity, "Sister Liu, it looks like your father is going to be miserable. You see, my father has retreated and doesn't want to meet Concubine Nuan."

Liu Zhenying nodded seriously and said sadly, "My father is so worried that his handsome face looks much more haggard."

As soon as these words fell, the corner of Xiao Yining's eyes twitched slightly, and his mind involuntarily emerged the funny scene of Liu Yang habitually reaching out to touch his mustache every time he appeared. Although this image cannot be said to be vulgar, it has nothing to do with handsomeness. It has to be said that the child's filter for her father is a bit too big.

However, the little sister's confidence in her father was far greater than that. She only sighed and whispered, "My mother once said that my father was very handsome when he was young. He was so handsome that he charmed many women. Even the eldest princess looked at him differently."

Xiao Yining: ...

The little kid couldn't stand her boasting and said helplessly, "Sister Liu, Concubine Nuan actually likes women."

"Sister Yining, you don't understand. She doesn't like women. She just wants to have a daughter like you." Chen Jiaoyi corrected.

Xiao Yining pursed her lips, feeling extremely powerless, and sighed like Liu Zhenying.

At this moment, Liu Zhenying finally realized that someone was looking at her. She quickly raised her eyes and looked forward, just in time to meet Lu Jiayi's gaze which she had not yet had time to look away.

For a moment, she felt extremely embarrassed, but in the blink of an eye, she glared at Lu Jiayi as if she was angry, and then said proudly, "My father said that people who are upright are not afraid of impeachment at all, unlike some people who knowingly do the wrong thing. Sister Yining, if your father enters the officialdom, remember to remind him to stay away from villains and not to get infected with bad habits."

Xiao Yining then followed the little sister's line of sight and looked at Lu Jiayi, and saw her stand up from her seat, slowly come to the little sister, slightly tilt her head, with a faint smile on her face, and said, "Sister Liu, I heard you say bad things about the princess."

"When did I..." Liu Zhenying's face flushed with anxiety when she heard this, and she quickly opened her mouth to refute. However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Jiayi.

She cast her eyes on little Yining and warned her earnestly, "Sister Yining, it is not gentlemanly to talk about right and wrong behind someone's back. You'd better stay away from such people, lest one day someone speaks out of their own mouth without realizing it and brings harm to innocent people."

Xiao Yining frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked back at her, and replied firmly: "Sister Lu, Sister Liu didn't say anything bad about the princess."

Lu Jiayi smiled faintly and said, "You are still young and don't understand."

After saying this, she looked at Liu Zhenying meaningfully and slowly walked out of the Yihe Hall.

Liu Zhenying was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief into a knot, but in the end she could only sit in her seat angrily and sulk to herself.

Yan Ke looked at Lu Jiayi's back and shook her head with a sigh, "Sister Liu, you'd better keep your mouth shut in the future. If Lu Jiayi hears you, it would be bad if she exaggerates in front of the princess."

"She dares!" Liu Zhenying stiffened her neck, quite stubborn and not afraid at all.

Thinking about Lu Jiayi's expression when she left, Xiao Yining felt a little uneasy: "Sister Liu, you really need to be careful with your words and actions."

"Sister Yining, you are only boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige, do you understand?" Liu Zhenying said unhappily.

Seeing that her sister was fearless, the little kid learned to shut up again and complained to herself in her heart that although Wang Gungun was a bad mouth, her intuition was not bad either.

Just as Xiao Yining had perceived, Liu Zhenying fell into the hands of the eldest princess after school. By the time she found out, it was already the hour of Xu, after she had checked in at her uncle's place.

At this moment, she just glanced at the little sister worriedly and put the matter behind her.

Chen Jiaoyi also changed the topic at the right time and said to little Yining, "Sister Yining, I heard from my great-grandfather that my grandfather and your second uncle have led troops deep into the heartland of the Hu people, but His Majesty intends to stop the war and let them come back."

Because Acacia moved into a side hall of the imperial palace, the emperor hadn't taught the kid by words and deeds or revealed state affairs to him for some time, and little Yining no longer had the privilege of watching the show.

Now, upon hearing the news, she instantly perked up and asked quickly, "Sister Chen, is my second uncle coming back?"

Chen Jiaoyi thought for a moment, then nodded and said with some regret, "I will come back, but... your second uncle can't take revenge."

Xiao Yining: ..., Shulü Qi was really wronged. Her father and eldest uncle were fine, but she was chased all the way by her second uncle.

Now almost all the officials in the palace know that my second uncle and Shulü Qi have an irreconcilable hatred.

"But... Sister Yining, don't worry. According to previous practices, the Hu people will definitely ask for peace if they are defeated. They will then put forward conditions. Even if they want Shulü Qi's life, that's fine." Chen Jiaoyi comforted her again.

The little boy nodded thoughtfully, and then fell into his own thoughts. After all, his second uncle broke his grandparents' hearts when he left, and he didn't know what the situation would be like after he returned this time.

The little kid had something bad on his mind, and he didn't even pay attention to the small discussions among the melon-eating team. He only paid attention to the news about the male lead, and the contributor was still the little smart Liu Zhenying.

"My father said that when King Yu took over the relief grain, he suddenly felt unwell and lay in the carriage. He has not appeared in public for several days. He is so negligent that my father said he would report him."

"Moreover, all the relief grain this time was donated by others, which solved Yanzhou's urgent needs. His Majesty was very pleased and said that he would reward the donors when King Yu returned."

After these words were spoken, the little girl calmed down and began to guess who the big grain donor was, and her eyes fell on Xiao Yining.

"Sister Yining, do you want to know who this kind-hearted person is who donated the grain?" the three little sisters asked in unison.

"...I don't want to." Xiao Yining replied very quickly.

"..."
