Chapter 955 The Prince Regent's Little Princess 40
"Prince Regent, do you think I can really do better than the late emperor?" The little emperor looked at Rong Tingyun expectantly.
And the little princess also looked at him.
Because she also wanted to know if the little emperor was good enough to be a monarch.
Seeing that the little princess's attention finally returned to him, Rong Tingyun's tone softened a little.
"As long as you are willing, diligent and modest, your Majesty will be a wise king."
This was not something Rong Tingyun used to coax him.
Originally, he had always felt that the young emperor was too useless and cowardly, although he was not as stupid and unprincipled as the late emperor.
But a puppet who doesn't know how to grow himself and can only be manipulated by others will only be worse than the late emperor.
But later, he started to be different.
So he wanted to see how far he could go.
Of course Rong Tingyun would not admit that it was actually the little princess who first interested him, and he was just a fluke.
The little emperor didn't know it, but he beamed with joy at Rong Tingyun's words.
But not long after, he looked distressed: "With Jiang Li's trouble today, how can I face her in the future?"
Rong Tingyun: "What your Majesty should worry about is how she will face you."
Although it is stated that Gracilaria cannot be cured, everyone is well aware of this matter.
So it's not them that should be worried, but Gracilaria.
Sure enough, Jiang Li used the excuse of being ill to stay behind closed doors, and did not listen to politics behind the curtain for several days.
All the officials in the court had different guesses about this, some were happy, some were worried, and some were doubtful.
Because many people have discovered that the Jiang family members have become much quieter in the court.
As for Jiang Suwen.
After the medicine brewed by the beauty wore off, she found out that her maid was dragged outside and killed in public and her tongue was cut out, so she knew that the plan had failed. Gracilaria was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
She was afraid that she would be pushed out by Jiang Li as a scapegoat, and also afraid that she would be abandoned by the Jiang family, so she simply stayed behind closed doors and went to get married honestly.
Of course, Gu Ruojiao only found out later that Rong Tingyun had arrived so promptly that day because he was about to enter the palace.
Just at the palace gate, I met the palace man Qingdai asked to go out to report the news.
He immediately galloped on his horse, scaring the imperial guards into thinking that he was going to rebel and usurp the throne. They were in chaos for a while and almost closed the palace gates.
However, the next day, no one in the civil or military court questioned Rong Tingyun about riding a horse in the palace.
After all, with his current power and the army and horses at his disposal, there is nothing they can do if he really wants to usurp the throne.
In a few days it will be the winter solstice.
Rong Tingyun had promised Gu Ruojiao before that he would pick her up on the third day of the palace banquet.
He actually came as promised.
The little emperor was filled with envy, and then looked at Gu Ruojiao longingly.
But Rong Tingyun just mentioned Chenzhou's flood prevention in the coming year, and the little emperor waved his hand and told them to have fun.
Gu Ruojiao: "..."
The carriage carried the two people out of the palace.
Gu Ruojiao was very excited along the way.
In order to facilitate walking, she wore a light pink skirt today.
The winter in Kyoto is very cold, and there were snowflakes in the morning.
Fortunately, it stopped at night.
The carriage drove into a remote alley outside the palace.
It was Rong Tingyun who picked her up when she got out of the car.
"The road is slippery," is what he said.
Then someone brought a big cloak and put it on her.
The cloak was sewn with white rabbit fur. When it was wrapped around the neck, it felt extremely warm.
It also made the little princess's face look even smaller, especially her pair of almond-shaped eyes, which were so bright and dark that people couldn't bear to look away once they took one look at them.
Rong Tingyun couldn't hold back. Taking advantage of the dim vision, he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
The little princess was stunned, then lowered her head shyly.
Rong Tingyun smiled and took her hand and walked out of the alley.
