Chapter 293 The power of God is unpredictable
As soon as the emperor said these words, the whole place fell into silence.
Gu Mingda's heart was in his throat when he heard this. Even Shen Changfeng, who had always been very nervous, realized that something was wrong. Xie Xingchuan was also winking at Niu Niu.
It's a pity that Niu Niu didn't see any of this, and joy burst out in her eyes instantly.
Li Yong chuckled and asked, "Did you ask for this?"
He thought that Niu Niu, a well-behaved little girl, must seek this honor for her father.
But the next second, the little girl said: "I don't ask for this."
This time, Li Yong was surprised: "You kid, don't you think about your father?"
Niu Niu sighed and said, "I also want to think about my father."
Li Yong asked: "Don't you want to be a good daughter?"
Niu Niu shook her head, opened her big eyes, and replied seriously: "Who becomes the number one scholar is a matter for the court, and I can't force it."
Niu Niu still remembers her mother's numerous warnings, telling her not to make any vows on this kind of thing.
My mother also said that since my father had passed the imperial examination, his status as a Jinshi was already secure and he didn't need to care about his ranking.
Ranking will actually affect your future. Zhang Yunniang did not say that there will be fellow Jinshi candidates in the palace examination.
Tongjinshi are naturally known as "Ru madame" and are inferior to ordinary Jinshi.
Zhang Yunniang deliberately did not explain it clearly to Niu Niu. She only said that the court had its own arrangements and that her daughter had special abilities and she was afraid that this silly child would use them indiscriminately.
At this time, Niuniu still thought that her father's future was secure.
Li Yong said: "A little girl like you actually knows that the imperial court has the final say. But if your father loses his position as number one scholar because of this, won't you feel uncomfortable?"
When Niu Niu heard this, she did not answer immediately, but turned her head and asked: "Dad, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Gu Mingda smiled and said: "I didn't become the number one scholar because of my incompetence. How can I blame you?"
Niu Niu immediately said to Li Yong: "If dad doesn't feel uncomfortable, then I won't feel uncomfortable."
Seeing this scene of a loving father and a filial daughter, Li Yong felt envious again and asked: "If you don't ask for fame for your father, then what do you ask for?"
Gu Mingda's heart was in his throat again. He was afraid that Niu Niu would make some embarrassing demands and make the emperor unhappy, which would lead to Niu Niu being angry.
Niuniu frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "What do you think I should ask for?"
When Li Yong heard this, his heart trembled, and that familiar feeling came over him again. He did not expect that the little girl in front of him would say the exact same words again.
They even met in Baiyun Temple.
If the little girl in front of him was not too young, he almost suspected that this was the wife in his dream.
Since he ascended the throne, he has been seeing the same woman in his dreams for a long time. Although the woman's face is blurry, they have spent their entire lives in dreams.
He is also the king of the world. In his dream, he does not feel the loneliness of sitting high in the clouds with no one to accompany him. His queen is the best woman in the world.
A loving husband and wife, with children, was a happy life that he never had in reality.
The place where they first met was in the peach forest of Baiyun Temple.
In the dream, he was very happy to see his wife and asked her what she wanted, and she asked her the same question.
Li Yong couldn't help but wonder, could it be that someone told Niuniu these words, and that everything today was deliberately planned?
But he soon shook his head. Firstly, he had never told anyone about the dream, not even the Queen Mother or the eldest princess. Secondly, if he really wanted to make a plan, he shouldn't have sent a six-year-old The little girl should be sent to a girl of proper age. At this time, Li Yong also said like himself in the dream: "Why, don't you know what you want? You just think about what you lack? As long as you think about it, I will make you a princess. All is OK.”
Niu Niu shook her head and said, "I don't seem to be lacking anything, so I won't beg for myself."
When Li Yong heard this, he couldn't help but look deeply at Niu Niu, and said meaningfully: "You can also ask for something for your family."
Niu Niu didn't notice the change in the emperor's expression, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I haven't done much to help you, but I see that you are always depressed, so I beg you to live a happier life."
Every time Niu Niu saw Li Yong, she felt that this man was lonely and seemed to be shrouded in a layer of melancholy.
Even if he smiles, it doesn't make people think that he is truly happy.
Li Yongke stood blankly on the spot, feeling that he was wandering between reality and fiction.
The Niu Niu in front of her said exactly the same words as the girl in the dream, and their faces gradually overlapped.
But the little girl before was too young. If she had grown ten years old, Li Yong would definitely take her back now and make her his queen.
Li Yong's chest seemed to be blocked by a ball of wet cotton, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Niu Niu is still a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. Li Yong is now in an abnormal state. Gu Mingda behind him is too scared to speak, but Niu Niu still has no fear of this man.
"Mr. Da, can I continue to call you this?" Niuniu asked.
Li Yong nodded.
Niuniu added: "My father always said that life lasts only thirty thousand days. It is precisely because life is short that we must live every day seriously."
"Although I am young, I live my life seriously and work hard every day to make myself happy."
"Mr. Da, you should do the same. Don't frown all the time. Your family will be worried."
It was rare for Niu Niu to speak for such a long time.
Li Yong stared at the little girl in front of him, and after a long time he let out a long sigh: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Shen Changfeng, who had his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Li Yong doubtfully. He thought this sentence was a bit strange. How could the emperor say such humble words as he was a great emperor.
Niuniu didn't notice anything was wrong, but laughed happily.
"It's getting late, I should go back to the palace. The scenery of Baiyun Temple is just right. You can take your time and enjoy it."
After Li Yong said this, he left. When passing by Shen Changfeng, he knocked twice on the head of his unlucky nephew.
Shen Changfeng was so frightened that he covered his head and ran away.
After the people left, Shen Changfeng said: "It's strange. Didn't I tell you before that because of the trouble caused by that boy Li Xuan, they said that the emperor would not come to Baiyun Temple? Why did he come here secretly again?"
Gu Mingda said: "The power of God is unpredictable. Maybe this Baiyun Temple is destined to His Majesty. Don't tell anyone what happened today, lest it displease His Majesty."
Shen Changfeng and Xie Xingchuan nodded naturally.
Niu Niu said: "Don't worry, Dad, I've always been very tight-lipped. However, I think even if I say it, he probably won't care about it. Your Majesty seems to be very talkative."
Gu Mingda said: "You are a child. Everyone is always more tolerant of children, and so is your Majesty."
Gu Mingda originally wanted to say a few more words like "accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger", but then he thought about it, Niu Niu would not always be with Li Yong, at most she would just say a few words when they meet outside like she is now.
It's good for Niuniu to maintain her innocence as she is now, so she doesn't need any additional guidance.
When Li Yong returned to the palace, a chamberlain immediately came to report: "Your Majesty, several elders have finished approving the papers. Please take a look at them."
