Chapter 31 I Am Grateful to You, Mr. Liu

Xiao Chuchu woke up early in the morning and played with her brother. She twisted her little neck and saw Wei Zheng with a wooden board on her right arm.

"My queen, the fifth prince, the emperor said that you should try not to leave the palace these days. It's very chaotic outside."

Xiao Chuchu blinked, [What happened? Does the emperor think it's very chaotic recently? ]

"By the way, Mr. Liu just finished discussing with the emperor in Chonghua Palace. The emperor asked the queen to take the fifth prince and the little princess to have dinner there." Wei Zheng looked respectful.

Liu Pin immediately thanked her, "How is the hand injury of Eunuch Wei? Have a cup of tea here before leaving?"

"I can't wait to do things for the master," Wei Zheng said with a smile, "I can't have tea. My queen will go to the emperor after a little rest. Don't let the emperor wait anxiously."

So anxious?

Wei Zheng took his leave first, and the fifth prince and Liu Pin exchanged glances immediately.

Most likely, the emperor wanted to hear the little princess's thoughts.

They were also anxious to know what Liu's father had said to the emperor when he entered the palace today.

Did the emperor know about Prince Liao?

Without hesitation, Concubine Liu quickly called Aunt Zhang Jia, "Check the little princess's diaper and feed her milk again, and we'll go over."

In just one incense stick of time, Xiao Chuchu was full and spit up milk.

Concubine Liu held her in high spirits and went to Chonghua Palace with the fifth prince.

As soon as they entered the main hall, they were welcomed by Wei Zheng to the side hall.

The dining table had been set there, and Wei Zheng smiled and was about to take the little princess away.

"The emperor misses the princess, take a look at the little princess before dinner."

Concubine Liu and the fifth prince suddenly felt a pang in their hearts.

Something must have happened.

The emperor was so anxious that he asked them to come for dinner as an excuse, but he couldn't wait until lunch time and was eager to hear the little princess's thoughts.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will take good care of the little princess." Wei Zheng took Xiao Chuchu away carefully.

The side hall of Chonghua Palace is only two rooms away from the main hall.

The little princess' voice came to the main hall quickly and easily.

[My grandfather is suddenly valued by the emperor? ]

[Wow, is my grandfather suitable for the job of imperial censor? ]

Liu Ping and the fifth prince looked at each other and sat down near the door in the side hall.

Silently picked up the teacup, held his breath and listened.

In the main hall, Xiao Yunzhou smiled as soon as he saw his daughter coming and heard her soft voice.

Not only is the little princess very capable, she is also cute and blessed, and he likes her more than his sons.

[I didn't expect that my emperor father would know how to use people after he turned over. ]

[Put the grandfather in the right position! Great~]

As soon as his daughter came, she praised him.

The smile on Xiao Yunzhou's face could hardly be concealed.

Seeing his smile, Master Liu's beard trembled in front of the dragon throne.

The emperor seemed to... also hear his granddaughter's voice!

No wonder he wanted to bring the little princess!

Master Liu's back was sweating, he must not show his flaws and let the emperor find out something was wrong.

But his granddaughter was so well-behaved that she praised him as her grandfather as soon as she came~

Master Liu lowered his head, covering the arc of his mouth, pretending not to dare to look directly at the emperor's face.

Xiao Yunzhou quickly coughed lightly, "Master Liu, please continue, how did you find out that the nine-color peony was abnormal?"

Wei Zheng, who came in to send the little princess, personally guarded outside the palace gate.

The palace maids and eunuchs who added tea were all cleared out.

The guards also stood in the corridor where they could not hear the emperor's conversation.

Master Liu pretended not to know why the emperor brought the little princess, and explained it clearly.

"Your Majesty, after I got the nine-color peony, I liked it very much and watched it day and night. Who would have thought that I would find something strange."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

"This nine-color peony is not a good omen from heaven at all. The nine petals and nine colors are made by human dyes."

The emperor's mouth twitched. Is Prince Liao still a human?

He deceived him like this! What do you think of him as an emperor!

"So Lord Liu thinks that Prince Liao, who presented flowers, has a problem?"

Of course, Mr. Liu couldn't say that it was his granddaughter who reminded him!

He had already thought of an excuse at home, "Last year, a servant in my family gave me three baskets of salted duck eggs from my hometown, which were big and salty."

"Ahem." The emperor wanted to laugh a little.

Liupin's father, every time he gave advice, he used the trivial things in his family as examples.

It was obvious that he was not a scholarly family.

But the truth is the most important thing!

The simplicity made him, the emperor, want to treat Liupin's father as his own head.

"I thought he gave it to me unconditionally at first, but he scolded me the next day."

"He said he had been in the Liu family for many years, so it was time to increase his monthly salary."

Yesterday, Master Liu discussed with his wife how to fool the emperor, and now he spoke fluently.

"I now know that if someone never showed you kindness before, but suddenly showed you kindness one day, it is probably not a good thing."

Puff.

The emperor almost laughed out loud.

But then he frowned. This is what Prince Liao is like!

Thinking that the other party might want to rebel, the emperor couldn't laugh anymore and couldn't sleep or eat well!

"So I think Prince Liao is not a natural nine-color peony, so I can't help but think too much."

"If you are too attentive without any reason, there must be something wrong!"

Old Liu pretended to be thinking hard.

Even Chuchu, who was held by Xiao Yunzhou, was attracted by his explanation and listened attentively.

[What happened later? ]

[Ah, did my grandfather find out that Prince Liao was going to rebel! ? ]

Xiao Yunzhou's face changed in an instant.

Old Liu's guess was true!

My daughter said so, so Prince Liao really wanted to rebel!

It's not that Old Liu thought too much!

Xiao Chuchu was also excited. [If we can find out Prince Liao's conspiracy in advance, we will have a chance to reduce the casualties of more than 40,000 soldiers! ]

Xiao Yunzhou almost fainted.

40,000 casualties?

Xiao Chuchu tilted her neck expectantly to look at the old man of the Liu family, [Wow, grandpa, have you discovered it? Tell my emperor father quickly, if you tell the emperor father, my grandfather, you are a great hero, how many people will you save! You are too smart! ]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flickered.

Yes, the old man Liu who discovered this matter is a great hero!

He looked at the old man Liu, and immediately looked respectful, "Old man Liu, please continue."

The emperor's address to him has become you? !

The expression on the face of the old man of the Liu family almost didn't hold back.

"I thought hard in the study room yesterday because I couldn't figure it out."

The old man of the Liu family hurried to continue, and his granddaughter was anxious to listen to him.

"What does Prince Liao want? If there is no auspicious sign from heaven, why would he create one?"

"If he were an ordinary official, he would have concerns about his evaluation, and he would have reason to want to be reused by the emperor."

"But he is already the dignified Prince Liao appointed by the late emperor! He enjoys the support of the court and owns the vassal state of Xiangcheng, which is full of outstanding people and beautiful scenery."

"He has no shortage of real gold and silver, no shortage of three thousand guards, no shortage of fiefdoms and cities, and it is said that he has also taken in many beauties."

"Prince Liao, there is no more title to be given and no more rewards to be given!"

"I really can't think of what else he wants from the emperor!"

He is already a vassal prince with guards and land!

What else can he ask for?

Above the vassal prince, there is only the dragon throne under his buttocks!

Xiao Yunzhou was so angry that he almost cursed.

Prince Liao is really his good uncle!

If he wanted his nephew's dragon throne, why didn't he fight with the late emperor? !

Seeing the emperor's expression, the old master of the Liu family continued, "Then I went to inquire about it."

"I was shocked when I inquired about it."

"This nine-color peony, a man-made auspicious sign, actually passed through 103 post stations and military guards all the way from the vassal land."

"This bastard!"

Even though Xiao Yunzhou had just known that Prince Liao was going to rebel, he still couldn't help cursing.

This is an opportunity to explore the court's military defense!

The old master Liu finished speaking in one breath, ignoring the emperor, "After I found out, I was very alert. As a result, I soon noticed the leader of the guards who escorted the peony to the capital, and also paid a visit to the general Zhang Chen in Beijing."

He stopped talking here.

Because Xiao Chuchu had been awoooed by the familiar name of 'Zhang Chen', triggering more clear memories.

[Ah, it's him, Zhang Chen! I remember it! During the Golden Award Festival, after the banquet in the palace, Zhang Chen pretended to be drunk and went to the clean room, pretending to vomit all over the eunuch Zheng who was holding the imperial pen beside the emperor. ]

[Eunuch Zheng took Zhang Chen, whose clothes were also dirty, to his place to change clothes. ]

[During this process, they exchanged information. During this period, they also met the prefects and governors of three places. ]

[Ah, yes, their meeting place was on the side road next to the Qianqing Palace, which was still under restoration. ]

Master Liu: "!"

Even the location is known!

This time, the granddaughter said more details than last time.

"Master Liu, I am so grateful to you!" Xiao Yunzhou listened to his daughter's words, and his back was slightly wet.

In addition to respect, he looked at Master Liu with a bit of dependence at this moment.

This father of Concubine Liu was so wise, but he was just a little bit worse than the fairy prophecy of the little princess.

Without the little princess, Master Liu would have noticed something was wrong.

In comparison, the other officials are just eating dry food!

"This country, Old Liu, I feel at ease with you here!"

Xiao Yunzhou sincerely helped Old Liu to sit down.

Old Liu: "..."

Ah, this.

His old face is red.

Or he can give birth!

How could he give birth to such an amazing granddaughter... No, how could his daughter give birth to such an amazing granddaughter!
