After a cup of tea, the bottom of a large plate of glutinous rice cakes was gone. Mrs. Ruan still wanted to ask the kitchen to bring more, but Ruan Mianmian quickly stopped her.
"Grandma, glutinous rice cakes are not easy to digest. Don't eat too much. If you want to eat them, wait a few days before letting the servants make them."
After coaxing grandma, it was time to go to her grandfather to do business. Ruan Mianmian asked, "Is grandpa in the study? I haven't paid him a visit in a few days."
"Go ahead, I was still talking about you yesterday." Mrs. Ruan knew that Xiao Naituanzi missed her grandfather.
Ruan Geng was sitting behind the desk in the study, deep in thought. He didn't even seem to notice that A Dong came in and put down the tea bowl and then quietly left.
After going to court today, the emperor summoned Ruan Geng and Ji Chang. After discussing government affairs, the three monarchs and ministers chatted together.
The emperor asked Ji Chang about Li Yu's studies, and intentionally or unintentionally asked Ruan Geng about his views on His Highness the Crown Prince.
Could it be that the emperor had the idea of changing the crown prince? Ruan Geng shook his head, it was impossible. Among the princes, Li Yu was the most outstanding and the best candidate for the crown prince.
Recalling that he had placed Ruan Xiao at Li Yu's side, Ruan Geng was a little confused as to whether he had already made clear the attitude of the Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
What did the emperor want? Ruan Geng couldn't figure it out.
Before entering the study, Ruan Mianmian made sure with Adong that her grandfather was inside, and then locked the door before walking into the house.
"Grandfather, grandfather." Ruan Mianmian saw that Ruan Geng was deep in thought and motionless, so she walked forward quickly.
Climbing onto the chair in front of the desk, Ruan Mianmian stood on the chair, standing in front of Ruan Geng, but he continued to wander as if he didn't see her at all.
What are you thinking about that makes you so absorbed? The little breasted dumpling simply lay down on the desk, resting his elbows on the table and supporting his cheeks with both hands.
After making enough preparations, Xiaonuituanzi took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "Grandpa is back!"
Ruan Geng was so frightened that he stood up suddenly, only to see Xiaonuituanzi slumped on the desk, laughing so hard that he rolled over with laughter.
"It's you, the troublemaker, who scared me." Ruan Geng raised his hand and slapped him without any courtesy.
"Oh! Don't hit me." A girl with small breasts stood on the desk and covered her butt with both hands.
The old Marquis laughed and said: "You dare to scare my grandfather, you should be beaten."
"You're such a bad old man." Ruan Mianmian pouted.
"What? You little brat is even worse. The old man will definitely beat you today."
"The old bullies the young."
"No, the big one bullies the small ones."
"That's right, you are the old one and I am the young one."
…
Listening to the bickering between the grandfather and grandson in the house, both A Dong who was waiting outside the door and Ruan Yi and Ruan Er hiding in the dark covered their mouths and had a hard time holding back their laughter.
After a lot of noise, the grandfather and grandson both had smiles on their faces, and both the old and the young slumped down on their chairs.
"Grandpa, are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, not bad."
"It's okay. When you came in just now, I saw that your face was full of sorrow, and the wrinkles on your face were like buns."
"You are the dumpling."
"I'm not a steamed bun, I'm a dumpling with small breasts."
"I can't beat you."
"That's natural." Xiaonuituanzi nodded arrogantly, "What do you think, grandfather? What trouble did you encounter?"
Ruan Geng took a long breath: "It's nothing, there are just some things I can't figure out."
"Let's talk about it. Mianmian also has a lot of experience. Let's see what can trouble my grandfather?"
Glancing at Ruan Mianmian who was sitting cross-legged on the chair, Ruan Geng shook his head and didn't want to say more.
"That's alright." It doesn't matter if you talk about it anyway, your precious granddaughter might have some wonderful ideas that can give you some inspiration, so Ruan Geng expressed the doubts in his heart.
Ruan Mianmian grinned after hearing this: "Grandpa, are you stupid?"
He raised his hand and slapped the little breast dumpling hard on the head. When he saw Ruan Geng's big hand, he suddenly stopped his strength and just slapped her on the head. The standard thunder was loud and the rain was small.
"You came here specifically to tease my grandfather."
"Don't dare." Ruan Mianmian calmed down and turned serious, "Grandpa, you are overthinking. The emperor really wants to start cultivating my little brother."
"How do you say this?" Ruan Geng did not think that any of the emperor's words meant what Ruan Mianmian meant.
"Isn't asking about homework just because the emperor values my little brother's studies? You also said that the fourth brother has already represented the position of the Ding'an Hou Mansion by his side. If the emperor really has other plans in mind, the last person who should ask is
you."
Ruan Geng stroked his beard and after thinking for a while, he nodded slightly: "That makes sense. Do you think the Emperor wants His Highness to go to the military camp for training?"
"It's not a bad idea to gain experience in the military camp, but it will take at least another two years. Now I think my little brother might be able to go to another place." Ruan Mianmian's smile was full of calculation.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a distinguished status and cannot just go anywhere."
"Grandpa, please come here." Ruan Mianmian waved to Ruan Geng.
Ruan Geng went over and Ruan Mianmian whispered a lot in his ear.
"It's a good idea, but it depends on the emperor's wishes."
"Well, there's no rush." Ruan Mianmian smiled brightly at Ruan Geng.
"Don't laugh, I'm getting flustered." Ruan Geng raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't think I don't know your plan."
"Grandfather is wise." There are so many mistakes to make, but Ruan Mianmian's little mouth is very sweet when it's time to flatter him.
Ruan Geng sighed longly: "The big house is so noisy that chickens and dogs are restless."
"Grandpa, if I don't fight back, the third wife will be in trouble. With my mother's temperament, I'm afraid I will be without a father and a mother now."
Ruan Geng was shocked and quickly returned to normal: "Hey——! Your uncle is not a good wife."
"It's not just unkind." Ruan Mianmian's eyes were wandering, "My uncle is too gentle, so you and grandma must have given him a helping hand."
"what do you know?"
"I only know that she is lying and that the month of pregnancy is wrong, so there must be something wrong."
Ruan Geng was very puzzled: "You are just a little baby, how can you understand this?"
"I have read medical books, and I have seen several pregnant servants in our house before." Ruan Mianmian was very calm, "What makes me suspicious the most is that she tightened her pregnant belly. Who would do this under normal circumstances."
"It makes sense, the thief calls for catching the thief." Ruan Geng had to admire Xiao Naituanzi's carefulness.
Ruan Mianmian thought of the business: "Grandpa, my appointment with the emperor will arrive tomorrow."
"Yes, I heard that you have been hiding in the small study these days." Ruan Geng quickly reacted, "You made arrogant remarks that day, do you regret it now?"
"I never lie." Ruan Mianmian took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Ruan Geng, "After I go to court tomorrow, please ask my grandfather to help me present it to the emperor."
"What is it?" Ruan Geng asked as he took it. This chapter has been completed!
