When the royal chariot arrived, everyone present knelt down and bowed their heads respectfully to greet him. Even the brothers Dongfang Yao and Dongfang Shun lowered their heads, but there was a little baby who looked up with his head raised.
The emperor walked slowly forward and looked at Xuan Bao's cute little face without the slightest awe, and his starry eyes were still sparkling with curiosity.
Eunuch Laifu took a step forward and was about to pick up some mysterious treasures. Unexpectedly, the emperor gently raised his hand to signal him to step back.
Facing such a cute and interesting little doll like Xuan Bao, the emperor couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Whose little girl are you from?"
"Your Majesty, I am a little girl from the Xiao family. My name is Xiao Xuanbao."
"Xuanbao, which Xiao family are you from?"
"The Xiao family of Ding'an Marquis Mansion, it is said that Xiao Yuan is my father, but I have never met him. King Yongchang is my grandfather, Princess Rouping is my mother, the Queen Mother is my aunt, and the emperor's cousin, can I get up?
"
The little baby spoke so freely that everyone present was shocked. Even Dongfang Shun was uneasy and hoped that his father would not blame Xuan Bao.
"Oh? Your Majesty's uncle?" The Emperor was stunned for a moment and then said, "This title is quite new."
"My grandfather and the Queen Mother are siblings, and my mother is your cousin, so aren't you Xuanbao's cousin? Your Majesty, is Xuanbao right?"
The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was unpredictable, and everyone kneeling there felt a chill on their backs.
Dongfang Shun wanted to say a few words for Xuan Bao, but he felt her small hand gently pressing his back, which was to tell him not to act rashly, so he barely restrained himself.
We didn't spend much time together, but Brother Shun and I really had a tacit understanding, and Xuan Bao raised his lips with satisfaction.
"Hahaha--!"
Hearing the emperor's laughter, Dongfang Yao glanced at Xuan Bao with a complicated expression. The little boy was so lucky to meet his father and was in a good mood. Normally, he hated people who didn't understand the rules the most.
"Yes, that's right." The emperor stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, everyone, get up."
Seeing the big hand handed to him, Xuan Bao without thinking put his small hand into the big palm and stood up.
The eyes of Eunuch Laifu who was waiting next to him lit up, and his smile when he looked at Xuan Bao suddenly became more sincere. Ouch, it seems that this little girl in Ding'an Marquis Mansion is very lucky. The emperor has about ten children.
, who can get such treatment as her.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Dong Xue and Xia Yu. Their backs were soaked. It was really exciting to follow Miss Seven.
"Uncle Cousin, are you coming to visit the garden too?" Xuan Bao asked, tilting his head.
"Yeah, I was passing by and came over when I heard laughter."
"Brother Shun said these fish are my uncle's favorite. We were helping you feed the fish just now."
"Yes, my uncle likes these fish the most. Do you like Xuanbao?"
"I love them so much. Seeing them jumping around makes me happy."
Hearing Xuan Bao talk about "cousin uncle", the emperor not only did not blame him, but also seemed to be quite satisfied with it. This was far beyond everyone's expectations.
Envy and jealousy flashed in Dongfang Yao's eyes. Dongfang Shun was very happy but not surprised. Xuan Bao just had the ability.
"If you like them, you can take a few back later to keep them," the emperor said casually.
"No." Xuan Bao shook his head, "It's better to keep the big fish and the small fish together as a family, and don't let their flesh and blood be separated."
The emperor lowered his head and glanced at Xuan Bao, secretly feeling that the little doll was kind-hearted, and he also treated himself and others, thinking about these fishes. His eyes when he looked at the little doll became gentler.
"Okay, let them stay together as a family, and I will reward you with others later."
"Thank you, uncle." Xuan Bao looked up and smiled sweetly at the emperor.
Others didn't notice it, but Eunuch Laifu saw it very clearly. This young lady from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion was really capable. She could say anything that touched the Emperor's heart. Even those who had served him for decades had to admire her.
Feeling those smooth little hands pulling him tightly, the emperor couldn't help but smile. Even among his children, none of them had the courage of Xuan Bao.
What the little baby was thinking about was that hugging the emperor's lap would be of great benefit. No matter what, she was right to be so close to her cousin uncle.
Holding Xuan Bao, he turned around and glanced at Dongfang Yao and Dongfang Shun. The emperor's face suddenly darkened.
"Why are you two still here at this hour?"
Dongfang Shun took a step forward and cupped his hands and said: "Father, on the order of the emperor's grandmother, I took Xuan Bao to play in the imperial garden. My son and the prince took leave for an hour. It's almost time. I have to go back to the study."
"Go ahead."
"My son, please retire."
Dongfang Shun reluctantly glanced at Xuan Baoyan. The little doll winked at him and raised his little hand to wave, and he finally smiled.
When turning around, Dongfang Shun secretly glared at Dongfang Yao, blaming him for causing trouble, so that he and Xuan Bao didn't even say a few words.
"What about you?" The emperor turned to Dongfang Yao, "You also asked for leave?"
"Cousin, Brother Shun asked for leave. The Queen Mother asked him to ask for leave for the Master. I heard it." Xuan Bao looked at Dongfang Yao and shook his head, "I don't know about the eldest prince, but Brother Shun told him to go quickly.
Go to the study."
Xuan Bao admitted that she was petty and that Dongfang Yao offended her when they first met her. She gave him eye drops openly and openly in front of the emperor's uncle.
Anyway, regardless of whether the emperor's cousin accepted the move or not, Xuan Bao took this opportunity to express his attitude. If Dongfang Yao wanted to get close to him out of nowhere, he would have to think about it carefully. Even if he didn't understand, the concubine behind him should understand.
At least he didn't like Dongfang Yao, and it could be seen that Brother Shun didn't like him either, so Xuan Bao was certainly on his side.
"Huh!" The emperor snorted coldly, his heart as clear as a mirror, "Why don't you get out of here."
"My son, please retire." Dongfang Yao hurriedly left with a group of people in embarrassment.
Xuan Bao stood on tiptoes, and when Lai Fu was astonished, his small hands were lightly afraid of the emperor's back: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, it's not worth getting your body hurt by being so angry."
Looking at the worried look in the little doll's eyes, Emperor Puchi couldn't help but smile and still felt a little touched in his heart.
"Uncle cousin, just give the child a good beating." Xuan Bao smiled when he saw this and gave his advice seriously.
"Okay, come here, tell this to the noble concubine, and say it was me who said it."
Eunuch Laifu was very confused. The young lady from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion openly slapped the concubine and the eldest prince in the face. Was it her wanton behavior or was it the intention conveyed by the Marquis Mansion or Yongchang Prince Mansion?
Xuan Bao only cares about whether he is happy or not and does not want to be wronged, but he does not know that his random behavior has made many people think about it.
"Cousin, it's time for me to go back to the Queen Mother's aunt. My mother is probably impatient." Xuan Bao invited, "How about you come with me?"
"Okay, let's go, I'll go with you."
In the Tai'an Palace, the Queen Mother and Princess Rouping were chatting happily. The aunt and nephew had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had many thoughtful words.
