Chapter 312 The Ai family is also happy
Li Shunfu looked at the clear eyes of the little girl in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.
In the end, he could only say coldly: "You have to call me Manager Li."
Niuniu nodded and said obediently: "Uncle Manager Li!"
When Li Shunfu heard this, his expression almost broke: "I'm fifty-six years old! I'm older than your father!"
Niuniu changed her words on the spot: "Uncle Manager Li."
Li Shunfu, a person who does things in a leisurely manner, was pushed into a hurry by Niu Niu: "I didn't just want you to call me uncle!"
"If you can't call me uncle, should I call you grandpa? Manager Li, grandpa?" Niu Niu asked crisply.
Li Shunfu had been tossing with the little girl for so long that his head was getting big, so he could only say: "That's all, you can call me whatever you want!"
Niu Niu immediately put on a well-behaved look on her face: "Uncle Manager, I'd better call you that, because you look much younger than my grandfather."
Li Shunfu's face was full of displeasure, but he still allowed Niu Niu to pull his sleeves.
"Uncle Steward, this sister didn't make the mistake on purpose. You are the best, can you be given a lighter punishment?" Niu Niu asked in a low voice.
Niu Niu wanted to plead for the little palace maid. When she was at home, every time she pleaded with Gu Zhao, she always said a few nice words first. She was just giving it a try now, and she didn't know if Li Shunfu would accept this.
Li Shunfu glanced sideways at Niu Niu, then looked at the oily surface on the ground, and said to the little palace maid: "Since you didn't do this on purpose, but you were still careless, then I'll slap you ten times."
The little palace maid did not expect such an unexpected surprise, and immediately kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your forgiveness, and thank you for your mercy, young lady. I am deeply grateful!"
Li Shunfu turned his head again and said to Niu Niu unhappily: "If you do something wrong, you must be punished. You can't just expose it casually, otherwise no one will do things seriously in the future, and you are not allowed to plead for mercy anymore!"
Niu Niu immediately nodded vigorously and said, "I will remember it. Thank you, uncle. I knew you were the best!"
When Li Shunfu heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but he still said unhappily: "Little girl, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth!"
Niuniu let go of Li Shunfu's sleeve and returned to the team.
Li Shunfu lowered his head and glanced at his empty sleeves. The corners of his mouth drooped unconsciously, but he didn't say anything.
In the main hall of Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother sat leisurely on her upper hand, complaining to the eldest princess: "They are just a few little girls. You are not happy to see them in the side hall, so they must be in the main hall."
The eldest princess said: "Mother, when you open the door to receive blessings, naturally the more solemn you are, the better."
The Queen Mother didn't speak anymore, but she also knew that the eldest princess's words were just an excuse. In the final analysis, it was to raise the status of the few girls, so as not to be looked down upon by other people in the palace.
At this time, Li Shunfu came in respectfully with the little girls.
"Kneel down!" Li Shunfu shouted.
A palace official had already come forward with six cushions and brought them to the little girls.
Originally this arrangement was very appropriate, but there were only five children on six mats. The queen mother and the eldest princess couldn't help but frown.
Li Shunfu was always good at observing words and expressions, so he immediately stepped forward to explain.
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and said, "I wonder who poured some oil on the door?"
Li Shunfu immediately answered: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter."
The Queen Mother said casually: "That's all, nothing big happened after all."
It happened that at this time, Miss Li San changed her clothes as quickly as possible and came to see her.
Listening to the palace servant's report about Miss Li San's request to see me, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, waved her hand, and said: "Well, it's such a coincidence that she met her, so she doesn't need to come to see me, she can go directly to Concubine Li's palace. "
After all, the Queen Mother was affected by the eldest princess's words. Since she opened the door to receive a blessing, Miss Li San encountered such a thing as soon as she entered the door. In the eyes of the Queen Mother, she was instantly labeled with an unlucky mark.
When Li Shunfu heard this, he bowed his body and retreated. "Eunuch, does the Queen Mother really not see me?" Miss Li San asked in disbelief.
Li Shunfu said: "The girl is no better than others. The imperial concubine is your biological aunt. It is most suitable for you to enter the palace and raise her with her."
No matter how Li Shunfu tried to whitewash the Queen Mother's words, Miss Li San's face was ashen.
She couldn't understand that it was the Queen Mother and the Emperor's intention to enter the palace, but why she was sent away without seeing anyone as soon as she arrived.
If word of this got out, wouldn't it mean that she would be said to be unlucky again?
Miss Li San pulled Li Shunfu's sleeve and said, "Please give me a kind word, father-in-law. I will always pay homage to the Queen Mother..."
But Li Shunfu pulled his sleeves back, and he didn't even take the purse that Miss Li San secretly pushed in. He only said: "Miss Li San, the Queen Mother has made a decision, and it's hard for me to speak. You might as well ask the noble concubine. Empress?"
After Li Shunfu said this, he turned around and returned to the hall.
Miss Li San was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed "eunuch" in a low voice!
She didn't notice at all that while she was talking, a little **** trotted past her in a hurry.
At this time, in the main hall, the Queen Mother waved her hand, and the five little girls who had just knelt stood up.
They had all been taught rules by their families beforehand, and they were not allowed to raise their heads casually when meeting noble people. At this time, their eyes were level, and they could only see the scene a few steps in front of them.
In Niu Niu's sight, she saw a hint of navy blue clothes and a pair of sky blue boots embroidered with complicated patterns.
The Queen Mother casually glanced at the five little girls, and when her eyes fell on Niu Niu, her eyes narrowed.
"Mother, you also think this child is good-looking, right?" the eldest princess said from the side.
The Queen Mother felt that she couldn't see it clearly, so she said to Niu Niu: "Come here."
Niuniu didn't look directly at her, so she didn't even know that she was talking to herself.
The eldest princess quickly reminded: "Niuniu, the Queen Mother asked you to come closer!"
The Queen Mother glanced at her daughter.
Niu Niu obediently took a few steps forward, still not daring to get too close.
"Queen mother, look at it, isn't it particularly painful?" The eldest princess praised Niu Niu hard to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at the little girl who was as cute as a ball of snow. A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still praised her: "She is indeed the daughter of the Number One Scholar family. At such a young age, she has an auspicious look."
The eldest princess observed her words and felt relieved when her mother seemed to mean what she said.
"Come closer and let Aijia take a good look at you." The Queen Mother still felt that what she saw was not realistic enough.
The eldest princess glanced at her mother in surprise. If she got closer, it would definitely not be a safe social distance.
Niuniu could only take a few steps forward.
"Raise your head," the Queen Mother said softly.
Niu Niu raised her head slightly and saw the Queen Mother for the first time.
The Queen Mother looked at her with even more surprise in her eyes.
"How old are you now? Have you ever read a book?" asked the Queen Mother.
Niu Niu replied obediently: "To answer the question to the Queen Mother, I am six years old this year and have not read many books. My father is still teaching me how to read."
The eldest princess reminded: "Good boy, when you talk to the Queen Mother, you have to call yourself a servant, and you can't call me Grandma."
But the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Good child, why do you need to learn the red tape? She wants to call her that, and the Ai family will be happy to hear it."
