Chapter 673 The unreliable pig’s hooves!
Although the emperor is surprised that his daughter is so well-behaved, he is his own biological child after all, so how could he be unhappy with her having such a filial piety.
So, he not only took a few bites of birthday cakes, but also tried on the shoes. Even though they didn't fit well, he praised them a few times.
The third princess's face turned red and she was extremely happy.
The emperor then said: "It's hard for you to take so much trouble to prepare birthday gifts. A few days ago, the south offered a lot of pearls. I will ask Mr. Yi to put a box for you and take it back to play with."
"Thank you, Father!" The third princess quickly thanked her, but after thinking about it, she said hesitantly: "Father, can I give my daughter another reward in exchange?"
“What, don’t you want pearls?”
The emperor didn't take it seriously, thinking that his daughter wanted gems or brocade.
Unexpectedly, the third princess said: "Father, my daughter knows Princess Kangle's cake shop half as well as you do. Can you give this reward to your daughter?"
The emperor frowned and was about to refuse, but the third princess got there first, pleading with red eyes, "Father, my daughter was not sensible, too arrogant and ignorant, and let my father down.
“My daughter has reflected a lot recently and feels that it is reasonable for her father to like the princess. My daughter also wants to learn more from the princess by running a shop together.
“My daughter also wants to please her father and bake delicious cakes for him!”
After saying that, she wiped her tears and lowered her head, looking depressed, "My father is the head of a country, and my daughter doesn't want to be called stupid and embarrass her father..."
"Nonsense! You are a royal princess, who dares to say that you are stupid!" The emperor couldn't see his daughter acting like this and was about to respond, but Manager Yi on the side "accidentally" knocked over the tea bowl.
The teacup fell to the ground. Although it was not broken, it spun around a few times and made a loud and piercing sound in the quiet hall.
Mr. Yi quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. The emperor waved his hand and did not blame him. However, what he wanted to say to the third princess changed his expression.
"Don't belittle yourself. Go back and rest first. I'll think about this matter before I talk about it."
The third princess glared at Manager Yi fiercely, wishing she could eat him alive.
It was almost successful, but this old guy came out to disrupt the situation!
She wanted to continue pestering her, but unfortunately her eyes had been seen by the emperor.
The emperor has a clear mind.
His daughter still did not change her temper, so she spoke again: "Go down."
The third princess had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.
The emperor rubbed his brows. Seeing Manager Yi bring new tea, he took a sip and asked, "Tell me, what happened when you stopped me just now?"
Manager Yi quickly knelt down and whispered what the third princess of Shoukang Palace was the first to say to the princess. He even repeated the words of the third princess clearly without missing a word.
The emperor put down the tea bowl at that time and said angrily: "This idiot, I thought she had really improved, but I didn't expect that she could say such stupid things!"
Manager Yi couldn't help complaining in his heart, the third princess was really hopeless.
Even if you want to scold the princess, you have to think through it, right? !
What is charming and charming? It means that a woman is ambiguous with a man.
But how old is the princess? When word spread, no one said anything about the princess. Instead, they said that the emperor was obsessed with **** and wanted to have a child...
How will the emperor see the princess in the future?
What's more, if the marquis treats the princess like his own daughter, what will he think of the emperor? !
But he just thinks about it, and if he really says it, he doesn't have to live anymore.
So he changed his statement and advised: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. The princess is still young and can be taught slowly.
“It’s just that the princess has always been so unhappy with the princess. If the emperor really lets her run a shop with the princess...
"I'm afraid if the two little girls will quarrel every day, the emperor will also follow suit and settle the lawsuit. No one will be successful if they go astray."
Sure enough, the emperor had a headache after hearing this, "Fortunately you reminded me, otherwise there would be no quiet days." Manager Yi quickly stepped forward, helped the emperor press his head, and suggested with a smile: "Your Majesty, the third princess has always been thinking about the princess. If she really wasn't allowed to try this shop, she would be worried about it.
“This servant sees that the princess is very smart and insightful even though she is young. Why don’t you, the emperor, have some free time these days and summon the princess to ask you a few questions?
“Perhaps the princess is willing to take the princess to do business together, or maybe the princess is not willing, but there are other ways to get the best of both worlds.”
The emperor smiled when he thought of the fat girl's quirkiness.
“You are right, please remind me when you have free time these days.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Manager Yi responded respectfully.
Night gradually fell, and the world became dark.
In Broken Gold Beach, the door to the main room of the Li family's courtyard was half open for ventilation. Sweet potatoes and a handful of chestnuts were roasting on the brazier in the room.
Lao Tai Li, Tao Hongying, Li Lao'er, Mr. and Mrs. Wen, Jia Huan and Wen Juan were all listening to the good news and talking about palace affairs.
The awl in Mrs. Li's hand pricked the sole of her shoe hard, as if the sole was the eldest princess' face.
After hearing her granddaughter’s retort, she couldn’t help laughing and praising her granddaughter.
“Yes, that’s how she should be scolded. She’s such a shameless thing. Even a child of any age needs to be bullied. How could she find a piece of tofu and hit her to death?”
Mrs. Wen also followed up and said: "I heard before that the eldest princess is very kind, low-key and never ostentatious. I thought she was good. Unexpectedly, the rumors are really unbelievable!"
Tao Hongying snorted coldly, "Money and silk are touching people's hearts. We had nothing to do with it before, so of course she is willing to put on a show and get a good reputation.
“Now that her Jiulianzhai shop has been robbed of business by Fu Niuer’s shop, and she is short of money, she is anxious and her true colors are exposed.”
Wen Juan felt sorry for her sister-in-law and rarely spoke, "And the Queen Mother, who has a distinguished status and is not young, how can she instigate others to bully Fu Niuer?"
Old Mrs. Li immediately waved her hand to signal her grandson's daughter-in-law not to say more, and finally told her, "There are some things that you just know in your heart.
"I think everyone in this palace, except the emperor, is not on the same page as our family. From now on, our family should stay far away from each other and try not to have any contact with each other."
Everyone nodded.
Other families may be looking forward to entering the palace more often and competing for the holy family, but the Li family really hopes that the people in the palace will forget about their family.
Compared to glory and wealth, they prefer a peaceful life.
Unfortunately, things went counterproductive.
Before the birthday banquet was over for three days, people came to the palace to receive the good news.
Not to mention the Li family, even Jiayin was a little confused and couldn't guess what the emperor wanted to do with her.
But no matter how unwilling it is, the good news cannot resist the decree...
So she tidied up briefly, changed her clothes, took Nanny He and Shui Ling and went into the palace.
Today it was rare for the emperor to finish reviewing the memorial early, and he did not think of summoning good news to the palace.
I originally planned to go to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, and meet a concubine by the way.
As a result, the third princess came to harass her again, acting like a spoiled child, repenting, and promising...
He was really bored, so he asked Manager Yi to bring the good news.
Jiayin sat opposite the emperor, across the big desk, holding a bowl of hot tea, blinking his big eyes with surprise on his face.
In fact, I have already cursed in my heart. As expected, the emperor is a pig's hooves and is not reliable at all!
