All the eunuchs around the emperor were waiting in the courtyard, so Xue Yao did not dare to go out at all.
Though he saw Auntie Poe acting frightened, he was surprisingly calm inside.
As long as Aunt Po was not immediately sentenced, the Emperor, even if he had a temper, was probably under Consort Shi's control.
Continue to wait patiently.
This wait until dark, the emperor never stepped out of the main hall.
It's a good sign, and the fact that she's willing to stay means she's not angry with Princess Shiori.
Just do not know the specifics of how, Xue Yao apprehensive night did not sleep, good in the morning to the court, the emperor left early.
Not long after, the palace maid from Consort Shi's room came to invite Xue Yao to the flower hall.
Xue Yao saw Consort Shi's slightly haggard complexion as soon as she entered.
The courtesan was dismissed.
"This move is really too close ......" Shiofei's voice was very tired.
Xue Yao said sharply, "Is it done, Mother?"
Concubine Shih frowned and said: ''The emperor said that after the Mid-Yuan Festival, waiting for Aunt Po's explanation. This is a threat, the emperor does not believe in such a precise prediction of natural disasters and the number of deaths and injuries, at first, he said that he would send aunt Po to the North Zhenfuzhi tortured, to investigate the mastermind, aunt Po could not help the intimidation, three times raised his head, as if he wanted to give you out, all were I answered and suppressed it, it really is ......."
Thinking of yesterday's perilous scene, Shi Fei had another dizzy spell before her eyes, holding her forehead and lowering her head.
Only then did Xue Yao realize what Shi Fei had gone through yesterday, and just thinking about it gave him goosebumps all over his body!
Aunt Poi tried to give him up several times to clear her name, but she was forcibly sidetracked by Princess Shi Shi, which is why she was interrogated for a whole hour.
However, it turned out to be good.
"It's been a hard day's work, Your Highness!" Xue Yao stood up and bowed to Consort Shi to the ground, "Congratulations to Your Highness for escaping the calamity, and thank you on behalf of the thousands of people in the world for saving Your Highness's life, Your Highness's merit is immeasurable!"
Shih Fei looked at this small adult in front of her, "snort" smile, like a rainbow after the rain, dazzling bright eyes brought out a little tears: "Quickly sit down, my little benefactor, the result is not yet known, I am worried about your master's fortune-telling whether it can be completely fulfilled.
Even if one more people lost their lives, the Emperor may use this as a reason to take revenge on Aunt Po, I can see how angry he was yesterday, only in the way of my feelings, so that he did not send Aunt Po on the spot, if he let him take the opportunity, it would be bad."
Xue Yao sat back down at the table and spoke with certainty, "Don't worry, Your Highness, if there is even the slightest error in the results of the divinations, feel free to have Aunt Po give me up! I will never implicate Your Highness and the Seventh Prince."
Shih Fei heart is still panicked, asked in a low voice: "the world really have your master as a living fairy? To tell the truth, although I agreed to cooperate with you, but always muddled not dare to think deeply, only on the basis of a righteousness to believe in you, now think about it, after the fear of awesome ......"
"There are still eleven days to go before the Mid-Yuan Festival." Xue Yao replied with a certainty in his demeanor, "No matter how assured I am, I can't put your mind completely at ease, so I can only ask the Empress to stay up for another eleven days, and the result will be known."
*
Waiting for the days of the Chinese New Year Festival, Xue Yao is still alarmed, in case the original author is pitiful again, and there is a slightest error, it is ...... not daring to think about it.
"Ayao, you're not happy."
After the lunch break, in the back garden, the Sixth Prince said this to him very seriously.
Xue Yao was startled, originally thinking that he didn't need to hide his emotions in front of a few young emperors, but he didn't expect this warm baby to actually see that he was in a bad mood.
"Aren't you tired of running?" Sixth Prince said seriously, "Let's rest for a while."
"No, no, no! I'm not tired, let's keep playing." Xue Yao quickly picked himself up.
Sixth prince suddenly grabbed his left hand and tilted his head to look at Xue Yao, "Your hand is cold, mother consort is like this when she is unhappy, her face is white and her hand is especially cold. Every time father comes to talk to her it's fine, why don't I take you to see father and let you listen to him."
Xue Yao was amused, thinking, "My heart problem is indeed your father as well, except that your mother consort needs the emperor's attention in order to calm down, whereas if I were to get your father's attention, my little life would be at an end."
"I just didn't sleep well last night." Xue Yao's heart warmed and she was moved to smooth the little imperial son's head hair, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compassion."
The Sixth Prince smiled warmly.
"I don't know how big brother." The fifth prince tired of playing, took his younger brothers to the pavilion to rest, and couldn't help but talk about his older brother who was grounded: "It is said that during the period of confinement, only vegetarian, older brother did not eat meat for a month, how difficult it must be ah?"
"No meat for a month?" The Sixth Prince revealed a sympathetic gaze.
"Well, well ...... meat to eat?" The Seventh Prince's little bun face was stunned, so frightened that the repeater function malfunctioned!
No meat was worse than no milk for the Seventh Prince!
"I heard it from Xiao Chunzi." The Fifth Prince said in frustration, "The palace maids are not allowed to deliver meat during the period of confinement, and the soups are all vegetarian soups!"
"Big brother is too pitiful ......" The sixth prince was so sad that his eyes were red.
"No meat!" The Seventh Prince, who had regained his senses from the shock, resumed his repeater function.
"Can we visit big brother in the Eastern Palace?" Sixth Prince asked Fifth Brother, "I want to send him some meat."
"Hush!" The Fifth Prince silenced him and whispered into his ear, "It's a rule that you're not allowed to eat meat during the period of confinement! If we send it over, we'll make Father unhappy!"
The Sixth Prince lowered his head in loss, "Then can't we go see Big Brother?"
"Looking should be possible." The Fifth Prince sighed, "Why don't we go to the Eastern Palace this time and take a look?"
"Yes!" The Sixth Prince was overjoyed, "I miss big brother!"
The Seventh Prince threw away all his little muppets at the sound of his voice and raised his little fat hand in agreement, "Look at it!"
Xue Yao secretly laughed, the Great Prince really didn't hurt this little fat cub for nothing.
The Sixth Prince suddenly had a bright idea and said to Fifth Brother, "It's quite a long walk from here to the East Palace, Old Seven will definitely be hungry, can we bring some food with us? If Lao Qi can't finish it, we can share a bit of it with big brother, it's not for big brother, it's for Lao Qi, just a bit, okay?"
Xue Yao: "......"
It's a little self-defeating, but it's not easy for a six-year-old to come up with such a "reasonable violation" idea.
The Fifth Prince leapt at the words, but was a bit afraid, after all, the nine year old child could already understand that a strong word violation might be more likely to make his father angry.
Nevertheless, the three young emperors unanimously approved of this bad idea.
They decided to go and deliver meat to their big brother!
But you can't give it away with honor.
The three little guys ran off to the warm pavilion of the academy and secretly discussed their plans, forbidding anyone outside of the brothers to enter, and even Xue Yao was hung out to dry outside the door.
Not long after, the Fifth Prince opened the door and ordered the palace maid to prepare a small food box containing twenty chicken legs and send it to the house.
The idea of the little emperors is very simple: there are still ten or so days left in big brother's remaining confinement, so two chicken legs a day, twenty is just right!
As for the chicken thighs going rancid, whatever!
The young royals hadn't eaten rancid food and weren't aware that food could expire.
Xue Yao smiled hopelessly.
It was only less than two miles from here to the East Palace, and the Fifth and Sixth Emperors had prepared twenty chicken legs for Lao Qi as dry food for the journey.
It's safe to say that you're very afraid of your brother going hungry!
When the food box was brought into the house, Xue Yao glanced at it--
It was a square food box the size of a small leather ball, and not too heavy.
Wanting to muddle through with such a large food box was too much to take the eunuchs in the Grand Prince's courtyard seriously.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the young royals to notice the problem as well.
The Fifth Prince opened the door again and asked the palace maid to fetch a small black cloak.
Xue Yao guessed that he was probably planning to wrap the food box.
It's a cover-up of this bell, so to speak!
After messing around like this for a while, the three little emperors were finally tossed out.
Xue Yao saw the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince walk out the door with a slightly disturbed expression.
The Fifth Prince whispered towards the house, "Come out Lao Qi, let's go see Big Brother."
After a moment of silence, Xue Yao saw the stumpy little fat cub, wilting, come out of the warm pavilion.
His Highness's tiny body, wrapped in a thick black cloak, behind dragged a long section, as if Long Ao Tian pretends to be out, choose the wrong cloak size ......
"This ......" Xue Yao was enraged, "How can you let Your Highness dress like this in this hot day ......"
He walked over to the chubby cub and tried to pull up the hem of his coat that was dragging on the floor so that the little fellow wouldn't trip over it, and, to his surprise, he saw an even more deranged scene--the
Under the cloak behind the Seventh Prince's back, a cubic object the size of a food box bulged!
The Fifth Prince had apparently tied the food box to his youngest brother's back and camouflaged it with a cloak.
Is this what a real brother does!
Xue Yao looked at the already round and chubby cub, and his back was still so strikingly bulging with a square ......
He tried to stop this heartlessly stupid disguise with righteous indignation, but was accidentally paralyzed with laughter at the little fat cub's comical disguise!
"Hahahahahahahahaha Your Highness hahahahahaha you ...... hahahaha you can't dress like that!" Faithfully, Silly Yao Yao laughed uproariously!
The Seventh Prince raised his little bun face and gave Silly Yao Yao a raw look, using his eyes to show that he didn't volunteer.
Fifth and Sixth Brothers said he was small enough to hide things behind his back without being easily noticed.
Xue Yao couldn't stop laughing.
You can spot this costume from a thousand meters away!
Little fat cub back under the cloak, as if hiding a mini refrigerator well!
But the Fifth Prince felt that the Seventh Brother's disguise was perfect, and was full of confidence as he led his brothers on their way.
The weather in early fall is still hot, the seventh prince wrapped in a cloak, still carrying twenty chicken legs, was held in the hands of the palace maid, are almost melting from the heat.
Several times he couldn't help but use his little chubby hands to pull the cloak tie around his neck, but he was sternly stopped by the Fifth Prince.
It was not easy to get to the East Palace, the seventh prince in order to quickly relieve, just got off the ground, flew to find big brother.
The guarding eunuchs were shocked by the long cloak dragging behind the young prince, and came back to their senses too late to obstruct.
The Fifth and Sixth Emperors also took the opportunity to catch up, taking their younger brother with them and rushing wildly into the main hall!
The eunuch rushed after him and shouted.
The three little emperors turned a deaf ear and sprinted a hundred meters!
Push open the door of the room, step into the threshold, only to hear behind the eunuch's reminder: "Your Highnesses slow down, Tong Feiiangiang in the temple, your Highnesses wait for the slave girl to inform a ......"
The words were already late when they were spoken, and the three little emperors stepped into the hall, facing not only the eldest prince, but also Princess Tong with a surprised look on her face!
The young royals were shocked!
Couldn't figure out why Princess Tong was here!
In case the chicken leg is discovered, Princess Tong will definitely tell Father!
"Why are you guys here?" The Grand Emperor was sitting by the coffee table, a frown on his side: "Don't fool around, hurry back, tell Father to know and punish you for copying books!"
Consort Tong, on the contrary, greeted her with a loving face, "My brothers missed you, his majesty will not be blamed, since you are here, sit down and rest."
Consort Tong was about to order the palace maid to serve the herbal tea when her gaze was suddenly attracted by the Seventh Prince wrapped in a black cloak.
"Old seven ...... hot day, what are you wrapping the cloak for?" Consort Tong immediately stepped forward, intending to personally unwrap the cloak for the young prince.
"No!" The Fifth Prince panicked and blocked in front of Concubine Tong, stopping her from removing Old Seven's cloak!
The Sixth Prince also walked over to block Consort Tong's path together!
The seventh prince's little bun face is simply lifeless, I thought that when I entered the house to see my big brother, I could take off the cloak and throw the food box, but I didn't think ......
"What is this for?" Concubine Tong was puzzled, "Why are you wrapping Old Seven in such a thick cloak?"
The Fifth Prince replied with his head held high, "Old Seven feels that this cloak is particularly imposing to wear!"
Consort Tong cried and laughed, staring at the sweating Seventh Prince a few steps away, "Isn't it hot?"
The Seventh Prince was no longer interested in answering this kind of nonsense, and turned his head to look at the birds that were free in the branches outside the window.
Be graceful and relaxed.
"Quickly take it off!" The Grand Prince couldn't see his own baby brother suffer, and personally stood up and walked over, "What if he's smothered!"
