Chapter 382: The Person Wu Anhou Loves
Little Yining had already mentioned to Pei Dafu that she wanted to go to the palace to find her uncle.
During the ten-day holiday, she finally received the imperial decree to enter the palace as she wished.
Xiao Shunzi, who was in charge of bringing the little girl into the palace, smiled and said to her, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs. I just finished discussing things with the ministers. I remembered that I haven't seen Miss Lin for many days, so I couldn't wait to send my servant to take you to the palace."
Little Yining also cooperated very well and responded with a happy smile.
After all, her uncle is the big boss. She feels deeply honored that he can take time out of his busy schedule to think of her.
It turns out that Lin Yining has always been in the emperor's heart!
But today she had no one to accompany her, and it was another day for her to enter the palace alone.
Soon, the little boy was brought before the emperor by Xiao Shunzi.
At this moment, the emperor was rubbing his forehead, staring at the book in his hand, and in front of him was a pile of memorials.
And her old acquaintance, the Second Prince, was writing on the table with a bitter face.
When this person noticed her gaze, he raised his eyes and glared at her fiercely.
The little kid raised his eyebrows, ignoring his provocation, and ran directly to the emperor, shouting in a baby voice, "Uncle, Qingjie hasn't seen you for a few days, I miss you so much!"
Sheng Jingchen looked down at the little girl with a smile in his eyes, and asked lovingly: "Qing Jieer, do you really miss your uncle, or did you get bullied in the girls' school and come to complain to your uncle?"
"Of course I really miss my uncle. Sister Qing will not lie to you." Little Yining quickly replied seriously with a sincere look in her eyes.
"In that case, uncle will believe you. But today, Qingjie can't ask for anything in front of uncle." Sheng Jingchen teased the kid.
Xiao Yining: (?˙ー˙?), I’ve been taken advantage of as soon as I arrived, it’s all over.
"How could Sister Qing ask Uncle for anything? Sister Qing wants to be filial to Uncle and give him the best." Little Yining coaxed the old man without changing her expression.
The next moment, she took off on the spot, landed on the emperor's legs, and faced the emperor's happy face.
Sheng Jingchen chuckled and said, "At such a young age, he is so eloquent. I wonder who he is."
Pei Dafu raised his eyes and glanced at the grandfather and grandson, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is naturally because you run the girls' school well, and the young lady is also a good student."
Sheng Jingchen nodded slightly and praised, "Sister Qing is really hardworking."
Then, he glanced at Pei Dafu and said calmly, "Give some money to those female students who are doing the work, so that they will be more attentive in the future."
Pei Dafu immediately accepted the order.
Xiao Yining was dazzled by the emperor's majestic aura. This was clearly the boss of her dreams, who didn't make empty promises but just gave money to make his subordinates work hard.
She couldn't help but look at her great uncle with admiration.
Sheng Jingchen also noticed the little kid's intense look and automatically interpreted it as anticipation. He gave Pei Dafu another look.
Pei Dafu understood what he meant and stepped forward, took out a long box from his sleeve, and said to Xiao Yining, "Young lady, this is a gift from His Majesty. Open it when you return home."
Little Yining stared at the long box in confusion and asked quickly, "Uncle, you gave Sister Qing a lot of things. What is it this time?"
"Of course it's something Qingjie likes." Sheng Jingchen took the box gently and placed it on the dragon table. Then he said softly, "Grandpa will leave Yanjing tomorrow and will not come back for two months. Qingjie must accompany Grandpa well today."
"Sister Qing is here today to accompany uncle." Little Yining immediately expressed her loyalty.
With the shadow guards around, the emperor knew exactly what the little girl was thinking, and he didn't care about her harmless little thoughts.
He gave the kid a kind smile, then gently placed the book aside, and while holding the kid in his arms, he took out a memorial and began to read it.
As Xiao Shunzi said, the emperor was really busy. Even though memorials from all directions had to go through several steps before being presented to the emperor, they still piled up like a mountain and the emperor could not finish reviewing them.
Fortunately, the officials here are more pragmatic, and there are no outrageous memorials asking "Has the emperor eaten?" every day like she heard in the present world.
Little Yining sat obediently on the emperor's lap, quietly accompanying him as he reviewed memorial after memorial and casually ate melons from various places.
This peaceful and harmonious relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren could not help but attract Pei Dafu's frequent sidelong glances, and he was even more surprised. He turned his eyes to the emperor's real child, the second prince, and saw that he pursed his lips tightly, and even the movement of writing became a little heavier.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard outside, breaking the tranquility in the palace. Xiao Shunzi, who was waiting outside, walked in and reported, "Your Majesty, Marquis Wu'an is outside seeking an audience."
Marquis of Wu'an?
Little Yining instantly perked up, blinking her big eyes and looking outside the hall, she vaguely saw a red official uniform fluttering outside the door, and couldn't help muttering in her heart, "What a coincidence!"
Sheng Jingchen frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't Cui Xiangyang go to treat his son today?"
"Imperial Doctor Cui went to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion an hour ago." Xiao Shunzi replied quickly.
Hearing this, Sheng Jingchen sighed lightly, put down the red pen, and in front of Xiao Yining, he took out a dark memorial of a different color and slowly opened it.
Xiao Yining's eyes followed Sheng Jingchen's actions, and when she saw the memorial, she was stunned. This memorial turned out to be the memorial from Marquis Wu'an requesting to replace the crown prince.
However, before she could take a closer look, the emperor closed the memorial, handed it to Xiao Shunzi, and said, "Tell Marquis Wu'an that I don't agree."
"Yes." Xiao Shunzi stepped forward to take it, bowed and handed it out.
Xiao Yining's gaze followed the memorial to Marquis Wu'an who was outside. He took the memorial and stood outside the hall for a long time before walking away.
She couldn't help but raise her eyes again and look at her uncle.
The eldest son of Marquis Wu'an is already stupid, so there is nothing wrong with changing the crown prince. Why doesn't he agree? Is he trying to control Marquis Wu'an?
Sheng Jingchen noticed the little kid's gaze, rubbed his brows tiredly, and asked, "What are you thinking about, Sister Qing?"
"Oh, Sister Qing heard that Marquis Wu'an's son is suffering from dementia." Xiao Yining replied truthfully.
"He is indeed suffering from dementia. The imperial physician has diagnosed that his chances of recovery are slim. It's a pity." Sheng Jingchen replied calmly. He glanced at the kid and continued, "Marquis Wu'an also privately contacted someone from Medicine Valley, and the demon made the same diagnosis."
Xiao Yining nodded as if he suddenly understood, but then he was stunned again.
She looked at her uncle with surprise.
She thought the master of Medicine Valley was obviously normal, so why did her uncle call him a monster?
Sheng Jingchen saw the look in the little boy's eyes and misunderstood again. He smiled and said, "My uncle didn't approve it, but he just wanted to wait for some time to see if the eldest son of Wu'an Marquis could recover. After all, his third son is not a suitable candidate for the crown prince in my uncle's eyes."
Oh, the third son?
Oh, isn’t that her godfather?
Marquis Wu'an wants her godfather to be the crown prince?
Isn't he out of favor?
Xiao Yining was completely shocked.
