Chapter 34 - Protection against her, such as thieves
The fact that he could find her in time was a blessing in disguise.
In the past few days, she didn't even dare imagine how she would've explained it to the late emperor and empress if Prince Regent hadn't found her in time, or if something had happened to her outside world.
Seeing that there was no room for discussion, Duanmu Yan curled her lips and did not say anything else.
When he reached the entrance of the imperial study, Duanmu Yan stretched out his head and looked. Seeing that there was only Gong Shengrui, he immediately jumped in.
Hearing the commotion, Gong Shengrui slightly lifted his eyelids, and immediately after, continued to review the imperial reports.
Duanmu Yan walked over to the desk and placed the scripture in front of him.
"I have already memorized all the poems on the first ten pages. You can test me!"
"I gave you two days of time. On the extra day, you have to memorize at least five more pages!" The implied meaning was that you had the nerve to show off after reciting ten pages every three days.
Duanmu Yan thought that he would praise her, but in the end, she was unknowingly provoked.
"You didn't explain it clearly!"
"You're a pig's brain, don't you know how to calculate?"
Duanmu Yan moved her nose. She did not want to be a pig.
"It's not my fault, it's your fault!" Duanmu Yan firmly refused to admit it, but it was his fault. He leaned his body forward, leaned on the side of the table, supported his chin, and looked at Gong Shengrui: "Let's go out to play today, alright?"
"Didn't you say that you will never leave the palace again?" Gong Shengrui answered with a question instead, which caused her to raise her eyebrows, causing her to be unable to understand his true thoughts.
Duanmu Yan's eyes rolled around as she smiled sweetly and said, "As long as you are here, no one will dare to bully us!"
Gong Shengrui gave a noncommittal laugh, "Then wait slowly!"
"Uh..." What did this mean?
Gong Shengrui threw the book of poems that was on the table back into her arms. "You can recite all the poems here from beginning to end.
"You …"
"Take care, farewell!" Gong Shengrui lowered his eyes and continued to read through the report in his hand. He turned a blind eye to Duanmu Yan's cheeks that were like a crystal bun.
Duanmu Yan waited for a long time, but he did not get a single glance. She stomped her feet in annoyance, turned around and ran out of the royal study.
Qianle Palace.
The guards saw Duanmu Yan and immediately tensed up, afraid that she would continue to act recklessly.
"Greetings Emperor!"
"Rise!" Duanmu Yan casually said, walking into the Qianle Palace.
The wet nurse, who had heard the commotion, looked back. The moment she saw Duanmu Yan, she immediately turned pale as if she had seen a plague.
"This servant greets Emperor!"
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Emperor!" The wet nurse stood up, and glared at Duanmu Yan warily, preventing her from hugging the little prince again and sneaking away from him.
Duanmu Yan walked straight to the cradle, looked at the 'babble babble' singing, the pink little girl, swept away the depressed look from before, and bent her eyes.
"This Emperor will carry you out to bask in the sun!" As she spoke, Duanmu Yan had already lifted her up from the cradle.
The wet nurse became nervous, "Emperor! The young prince is still young and his skin is tender, making him unfit to bask in the sun! "
"Who said that?" Duanmu Yan tried to defend herself, "Mother once said that bathing in the sun is beneficial to one's physical and mental health, so for the sake of his health, I will definitely take him out in the sun!"
"Emperor …"
"I'm thirsty, pour me a cup of tea!" Duanmu Yan interrupted her, and said something completely unrelated.
The nurse's heart thumped. She knew she was going to play tricks again, but she didn't dare disobey the Holy Light. Fortunately, she was smart enough to prepare some tea in the inner room.
Take two steps to the right and pour her a cup of tea...
Seeing that, Duanmu Yan immediately carried Yuxuan and prepared to escape.
From the corner of his eyes, he watched her wet nurse closely and quickly followed, "Emperor! Your tea! "
Duanmu Yan frowned, she had no choice but to stop and grab the teacup to drink.
"I want to carry the little prince into the imperial flower garden for a walk. If you want to follow, follow me!" With that, he returned the teacup to the wet nurse and walked out of Qianle Palace.
The wet nurse put the cup on the table and followed with a bitter face.
The two guards looked at each other in dismay. After thinking for a moment, they also followed …
Within the imperial garden, the flowers were sprouting new buds, and the grass was sprouting new branches, brimming with vitality.
Duanmu Yan carried Yuxuan and walked into the pavilion. Below the pavilion was a winding river, and inside the river, groups of goldfish were merrily playing.
"You see, is it beautiful?" Duanmu Yan lowered Yuxuan in her arms, showing him the goldfish in the water.
Yuxuan bit his pink fingertip, and looked at the goldfish swimming in the river, letting out a cheerful 'yiyiyaya' sound.
The wet nurse stood at the side in fear, afraid that she would accidentally throw the little prince into the river.
"Emperor! It's windy here, let's go somewhere else! "
"He likes it here!" Duanmu Yan obviously did not have any intention to move.
The wet nurse was on the verge of tears. If this continued, even if the young prince didn't fall, he would still catch the cold.
"Emperor! Why did you come to the Imperial Garden in such a short time? " Chen Xi, who could not find Duanmu Yan after going to the small talk shop, was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She had only missed searching the entire palace thoroughly.
Duanmu Yan blinked innocently: "We didn't run around. We just carried the little prince out to bask in the sun!"
"…" Running from the imperial study to the Qianle Palace, and from there to the imperial garden, was this still considered not running around?
Chen Xi was depressed, she didn't even have the energy to retort.
The wet nurse recognized the person. The big red man by Emperor's side was overjoyed, and quickly went to Chen Xi's side: "Aunt Chen Xi! This is big, quickly help this servant persuade the Emperor, and let the Emperor carry the little prince to another place!
Chen Xi gave her a comforting look and walked over to Duanmu Yan's side. After a few days of not seeing him, the little prince seemed to have grown up again.
"Emperor! The little prince is really getting more and more adorable! " As Chen Xi teased, Yuxuan gave him a lot of face as she chuckled twice.
"He said he likes you a lot!"
"Your servant likes the little prince too!" The corner of Chen Xi's eyes contained a smile, and immediately changed the topic: "Emperor! This is Eldest Feng, the little prince has been blabbering for too long, I'm afraid he might catch a cold. Prince Regent knows, he would definitely be angry, so, let's change locations! "
"But I don't feel cold?"
"You are an adult, and the little prince is a child. His physique cannot be generalized!"
Duanmu Yan seemed to understand a bit behind what she said and nodded: "Where are we going then?"
"Emperor, where do you want to go?"
Duanmu Yan tilted her head to think, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I got it! "This Emperor knows where we're going!"
Looking at her smiling face, Chen Xi felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Where to?"
"You will know if you come with me!" Duanmu Yan laughed, and then took a step forward.
