"Your Majesty, Princess, little princess." Dieying brought a bunch of radishes to the place where Luo Junyao and the others were playing, and bowed their hands in greeting. Originally, Qin Ning was sitting on the swing with Xie Cheng in her arms, and Luo Junyao stood behind and pushed her gently.
The two of them were playing, and when they saw this large group of people approaching, they all looked at them.
A group of children had obviously been taught in advance, and they all saluted respectfully, "The common people have seen your Majesty."
Looking at Qin Ning and Luo Junyao again, their voices became a little sparse, "I've met the princess, the little princess."
They couldn't tell which of the two eldest sisters was the princess and who was the princess, and which princess and princess they were.
Qin Ning chuckled lightly and didn't mind, poking her little cousin in her arms.
Xie Cheng was very embarrassed in front of outsiders, so he immediately struggled to get off the ground and stood up, and then said: "Sit flat."
It's actually a bit funny for a group of childish brats to pay homage in such a serious manner.
Luo Junyao still suppressed her pride in taking care of the children, but Qin Ning burst out laughing.
Xie Cheng's face suddenly froze, and he turned back to look at his cousin. Qin Ning was still smiling.
Xie Cheng turned to look at his aunt again. Although she didn't laugh out loud, she was obviously trying to endure it.
Xie Cheng suddenly felt aggrieved. What did A Cheng do wrong?
Luo Junyao said quickly: "Your Majesty has done a good job. These children are here to play with Your Majesty. Would Your Majesty want to go play with them for a while?"
Xie Cheng knew that these children were all candidates to be his companions. He actually had a bit of a psychological shadow on the word companions and subconsciously rejected it.
But he quickly held back. The emperor's uncle told him that he should choose his favorite reading companion, otherwise someone else would have to choose it for him.
Xie Cheng prides himself on being a smart man. Since he can't escape no matter what, his choice must be better than others.
Xie Cheng nodded solemnly, "Auntie, cousin, wait for me. I will be back soon after finishing the selection."
Luo Junyao was speechless, do you think this is choosing cabbage and potatoes when buying vegetables?
"A Cheng is also considered the master. Let's take the children to play there for a while and see who A Cheng likes to get along with more. Don't go across the bridge to the east. It's still being repaired over there, you know?" Luo Junyao whispered.
When Xie Cheng heard that he was the master, his face lit up a little, and he nodded seriously and said, "I understand, don't worry, little aunt!"
"Go ahead."
Xie Cheng usually attends court meetings or palace banquets and other occasions, so it's quite the same thing to pretend to be an adult.
At this time, he walked over and spoke to the young master in his own immature voice, and his appearance of inviting the young masters to come and play was quite intimidating.
A group of children who were two years older than him were stunned by him and followed Xie Cheng to the side obediently.
Of course there are exceptions, such as one who is obviously familiar with Xie Cheng and is winking at him.
There is also a child wearing plain brocade clothes who looks very calm and calm, and his movements are somewhat elegant. There are also several children who have obviously practiced martial arts since childhood, and their movements are somewhat calmer than those of children of the same age.
"Double shadow, let people watch it, don't let anything happen." Luo Junyao said.
Looking at this group of children, Luo Junyao thought of the mind-numbing scene in the kindergarten where the beasts come out of their cages.
Duoying cupped her hands and smiled and said: "Don't worry, Princess, there are people watching secretly and nothing will happen."
"That's good." Luo Junyao nodded, paused and then said, "Can you please stop calling me Princess?"
The overlapping image said: "But, you are the princess." How can you not be called out even if you take the princess's gold seal?
"..."
"Cousin, cousin, why don't you speak?"
Xie Cheng sat on a stone in the garden, holding his chin and listening to the kid next to him making noisy noises around him.
Being the master is no fun at all.
The kid obviously didn't know Xie Cheng's mood at this time, and still refused to let him go, "Cousin, my father said that I will come to the palace to play with you every day from now on. You must tell the regent that you want to choose me, you know?"
"
Xie Cheng curled his lips and said, "Why don't you tell the emperor?"
This kid is none other than Chengenhou's youngest son and Xie Cheng's cousin Zhu Ai.
He shuddered and said, "I'm not going. The regent will eat children. What should I do if he eats me?"
Xie Cheng glared at him dissatisfied, "Nonsense! My imperial uncle will not eat children!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, that's what everyone said." Zhu Ai said confidently, "Anyway, I want to be your companion, you go tell the regent."
"I don't want it!" Xie Cheng said, "Uncle Huang said you can be my companion only if you like it, but I don't like you."
"How dare you not like me!" Zhu Ai screamed, "I'm going to tell my aunt!"
A trace of anger flashed across Xie Cheng's face, "Complainer!" But he was already a little worried in his heart. If he really complained to his mother, she would scold him again.
Xie Cheng was a little sad because his mother didn't like him and liked his cousin. His cousin was so bad, but his mother always asked him to be nice to them, saying they were brothers.
They are not his brothers.
"I'm going to tell my aunt! Let her punish you!" Zhu Ai said proudly.
Xie Cheng said: "I won't! I will drive you back and let my uncle beat you!"
"you dare!"
The children were not familiar with him. Xie Cheng was still the emperor, and they were all told by their families not to offend His Majesty. Therefore, although a group of children arrived in the garden, they did not become familiar with each other quickly. On the contrary, they were a little confused about what to do.
Is good.
They had no choice but to gather together with their familiar friends and talk quietly.
At this time, they suddenly heard Zhu Ai's sharp scream, and they were all startled and turned their heads to look over.
Xie Cheng was also angry, "I dare you! I hate you! Get out!"
Zhu Ai had never heard such words before, and she immediately jumped up and rushed towards Xie Cheng.
He was often brought into the palace by his parents and was no stranger to Xie Cheng. He had fought with him when he was younger, so he did not have the same awe of Xie Cheng as other children.
Xie Cheng's eyes were also red. He clearly said he didn't like his cousin. Why did the queen mother always let him play with them?
Just as Xie Cheng was about to reach out and hit, Zhu Ai, who was rushing toward him, was grabbed by the collar from behind.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" Zhu Ai was pulled away, and Xie Cheng naturally didn't hit anyone.
Seeing the fat little man struggling by his collar and unable to do anything but wave his hands and yell, Xie Cheng found it very interesting and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Dragging Zhu Ai was a boy wearing a blue shorts uniform.
He is half a head taller than Zhu Ai. Although he looks a little thinner than him, he is not less strong.
Zhu Ai was grabbed by him and could not struggle away.
"Let me go! Let me go! You are so brave!"
The young master in plain clothes, Su Xuan, who was standing nearby, said: "It is a crime of great disrespect to beat His Majesty. Young Master Zhu, please be quiet."
Zhu Ai was only seven and a half years old, so how could she know what the crime of disrespect was?
"Mind your own business! Let me go, young master!" Zhu Ai shouted, "Or I'll ask my father to beat you to death!"
Su Xun tilted her head slightly, with a hint of innocence and harmlessness on her handsome face, "Oh? The Cheng'enhou Mansion is so powerful."
"That's natural!" Zhu Ai said proudly, "If you don't let go, I will forgive you!"
Just listen to Su Xun say: "But failing to save him is also a serious crime. What if you attack His Majesty again? Brother Jiang, please don't let go."
Xie Cheng also stood up and said: "That's right, Zhu Ai, you dare to attack me! I will tell the emperor's uncle and the emperor's grandmother! I will kill your nine tribes!"
"..." The corners of Su Xuan's lips froze and he reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are also one of his nine clans."
"Oh, I will kill your clan!"
"..." Your Majesty, you have no right to kill anyone's clan now.
What my grandfather said was true. Emperors, no matter they are big or small, old or young, are all in danger.
"Wow!" Zhu Ai saw that she was surrounded by three people, but the others were standing far away and no one came to help. She immediately burst into tears, "You bullied me! I want to tell my aunt!"
The young master of the Jiang family who was holding him looked at his unfamiliar friend at a loss. Why was this guy crying? He didn't do anything.
Su Xun blinked and signaled him to let him go.
Young Master Jiang then quickly let go of the person in his hand, and Zhu Ai immediately sat on the ground and started crying.
The cry penetrated most of the garden in an instant, making people want to cover their ears to block out the unbearable noise.
He was crying like this, and no one came around to take a look.
The children were a little scared at first, but after no one came for a long time, the young master of the Zhu family still cried vigorously. The more courageous ones squatted not far away and started to watch.
Xie Cheng and the two children who had helped him were also squatting on the side. They felt very fresh watching their cousin howling and rolling on the ground.
Probably because whenever he cried, someone would immediately come up to comfort him. For the first time, Xie Cheng knew that his cousin could cry so well.
"How long will he cry?" Xie Cheng asked.
Su Xun was also a little troubled, "I don't know, you won't cry after the tears are shed, right?"
"Why is he crying? I didn't bully him." Young Master Jiang asked.
"Who knows? Maybe he wants to call the adults? My brother is like this."
"Do you have a younger brother? Is he as old as him?"
"No, my brother is only three years old."
"It's so noisy. How can a man cry so much? I haven't cried since I was three years old."
"I won't cry either."
"I also……"
At this time, Luo Junyao, who was hiding behind a rockery not far away and watching this scene, leaned on Xie Yan and smiled until tears filled his eyes.
"Speaking of which, do you really not care?" Luo Junyao asked.
Xie Yan said calmly: "No matter."
"That kid is really capable of crying. He won't stop crying, right?" Luo Junyao asked.
Xie Yan said: "It doesn't matter. Since A Cheng doesn't like him, he passed out from crying and was sent back to Zhu's house."
"Marquis Chengen will hate you."
Xie Yan said: "This is not the first time he hates me."
That's right, you don't want your son to be the emperor's companion, but you don't want to marry his girl.
The Zhu family wants to win over you, but you don't want to win over them. Isn't that annoying?
