"My dear, it is fate that I meet you in the huge imperial garden. For this fate, I would like to remind you that at your age, you should be less angry, otherwise the wrinkles at the corners of your eyes will grow overnight. Even if
No matter how much powder you put on it, it can't cover it up."
Concubine Yu shook her hand again, and the smile on her face disappeared: "Miss Li Ruo, it's getting late. If you keep the emperor waiting in the imperial study for too long, your head will fall off."
Li Ruo immediately covered her eyes with her hands, looked at the sun, and then murmured:
"It seems it's almost time. Your Majesty should have lunch. Fourth Prince, let's go have lunch."
After saying that, she pulled Dongfang Yao towards the imperial study without even saying goodbye.
Watching their leaving figures, Concubine Yu squeezed her hands hard, and the screams sounded again. She let go of her hands, looked coldly at the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and said:
"Drag it down, break the bones, find a place, and bury it."
Listening to the screams from behind, Li Ruo hummed a ditty.
"Xiao Ruo'er, don't be so reckless in the future. This is the palace, and Concubine Jade is quite powerful. Just in case..."
Li Ruo waved her hand to interrupt him:
"Fourth prince, no matter how powerful Concubine Jade is, can she be more powerful than the emperor? I am the one summoned by the emperor personally. Even if she wants to take action, she will wait until I see the emperor. Also, don't be reckless, you can easily fall into the enemy's trap.
It was a trap. Like just now, Concubine Yu was obviously prepared. I exchanged some explicit and implicit words with her, but it could only be regarded as a bickering between women. If you intervened, the meaning would be different.
The other party can accuse you of anything and make your head move."
Dongfang Yao pondered for a while, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Li Ruo. He somewhat believed what Li Ruo said, but how could a child of an ordinary merchant family know these things?
Along the way, they were each thinking about something and were silent one after another until they reached the imperial study room.
"Is the fourth prince here?" When the old eunuch guarding the door saw the visitor, his wrinkled face smiled.
"Mr. An, please send a message."
"No need, the emperor has told me that you and this girl can go in directly." The man who was called Mr. An bent down and said respectfully.
Li Ruo felt Dongfang Yao's respect for him and couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, but the other party gave her a kind smile in return.
The door to the royal study room was opened, and Li Ruo immediately followed Dongfang Yao and walked in.
"My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father."
"My little lady, please pay your respects to the Emperor."
"Okay, everyone, sit down." Dongfang Tianqi buried his head in the pile of memorials without even raising his head.
Li Ruo touched her belly, ignored Dongfang Yao's winks at her, picked up the cakes on the table next to her and stuffed them into her mouth.
"Yeah, delicious."
When Dongfang Yao heard this compliment, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times, opened his mouth to her, and said silently: "You can just eat, why are you making any noise?"
Li Ruo blinked in confusion at first, and then said with a look of realization: "What? You want to eat? Oh, Your Majesty, the fourth prince said he was hungry and wanted to eat."
Dongfang Yao almost slipped off his chair.
Dongfang Tianqi still didn't raise his head, but just ordered: "Xiao Anzi, pass the meal."
Li Ruo happily made a V-shaped gesture to Dongfang Yao who was sitting next to him, then rubbed his hands.
