Chapter 56
Long Baoer passed by the prince's table and finally passed by the young prince's desk. The two of them looked at each other.
The little prince's face was expressionless, but his brows were slightly raised.
"Long Bao'er, come!" The Queen spoke first.
Long Baoer was still familiar with the Queen, but comparatively speaking, the aura of the Holy Lord was too strong.
Seeing that the little Doudin in front of him was just above his knees, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes, and instead he looked at him curiously, the Lord found it quite interesting.
"Oh, little lady, you can't be with the Holy One..."
"Hey!" The Holy Master waved his hand, and Eunuch Xi shut up and took two steps back. The Holy One looked at the little girl very kindly, "Is your name Xiaolong Bao'er?"
"Yeah!" Long Baoer nodded vigorously.
The Queen next to her was immediately amused, "Your Majesty, do you think she is cute?"
"Well, the little girl is indeed cute." The Holy Emperor nodded, "It's a pity that I don't even have a princess in my palace."
The queen also sighed.
It is necessary to have a son.
She already had a son, and his son naturally became a prince, so her desire to have a daughter became even more intense.
When the prince was only a few years old, he was brought up to be taught by His Majesty himself, and even she, the mother, could not see him all the time.
Mainly because there are so many things to learn as a prince.
Moreover, her son has been very courteous since he was a child and has a rather cold personality. Except for His Majesty, he is not very close to her mother. She wants a daughter even more. When the time comes, she will be a soft and fragrant ball. He must be doting on the other person to the heavens.
It's a pity that the prince is now eight years old, and her wish has not come true.
Today's Holy Emperor is not greedy for women. He is a monarch who works hard to govern. There are only a dozen people in the entire harem, and only five children have been born.
Forget it, you can’t force this matter.
The emperor and empress looked at Long Bao'er with their own thoughts.
The Queen Empress was thinking about how great it would be to have a daughter.
When the Holy Emperor saw Long Baoer, he thought that there were officials like Ji Zhong in his Yujin Dynasty, and that he could become a bully with such a low official position.
He deceived those below, robbed women of the people, and colluded with bandits. Aren’t those local officials with high official positions even more harmful?
Long Baoer was lucky. Although her mother was killed, she still had an old nanny who loyally protected her.
Moreover, she also has an uncle who is a first-class general and an aunt who comes from the Chang family, who can support her and seek justice for her.
But what about ordinary people?
Are more people being preyed upon by corrupt officials?
It seems like we need to take a good look at the officials in this world.
But the little girl Long Baoer does look cute, with bright and ignorant eyes. It's really hard to imagine that someone could abuse such a child.
Even, that is her biological father in name.
snort!
The Holy Emperor suddenly regretted that he had killed Ji Zhong so quickly. Such a creature, inferior to a pig or a dog, should be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
After asking the little girl a few questions, Long Baoer answered crisply and showed no timidity at all.
The Holy Emperor was even more satisfied and rewarded a lot of property, which really made many people jealous.
Some people also understood that this was the Holy One's disguised attempt to appease Xue Qingsong. In the final analysis, this incident was the crime committed by Ji Zhong, a small official.
Secondly, I am supporting the little girl. Even if her mother was robbed, her biological father is not Ji Zhong, etc., no one will mention the past.
Xue Qingsong naturally understood and quickly knelt down to thank him.
Long Baoer turned around and saw his uncle kneeling. He turned around to kneel down too, but was stopped by the Holy Sage.
"Xiao Long Bao'er is very good, go down and find your uncle!"
Fearing that the little girl would fall, Eunuch Xi personally led her to General Xue.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty could only envy him.
Whether it is the annual banquet in the palace or whether it is mainly about joy, the Holy Emperor announced the banquet to begin after saying a few words to the empress.
The maids and eunuchs filed in and brought the prepared dishes to the table. At the same time, there were also singers and dancers performing.
This kind of banquet is all about presenting beautiful things and just tasting them. No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat it like at home.
But Long Baoer is not within this range.
The little girl had almost digested the food she had eaten in the morning because of kowtowing again and again. At this time, my stomach was growling with hunger.
Chang Chun felt distressed and fed her with vegetables.
The dishes in the palace are all warm dishes. The so-called warm-fire dishes are prepared dishes that are placed in a box with charcoal fire to warm them.
Such dishes are naturally not as delicious as freshly cooked meals. But there is nothing we can do about it.
Fortunately, there are charcoal fires above and below the table. Otherwise, given the current season and the hall not being very warm, the dishes would have been completely cold.
The food was lukewarm and the taste was just unsatisfactory. But Long Baoer was not picky, and when his aunt's chopsticks came over, he ate it with a look of satisfaction on his face, and he knew it was delicious.
The emperor and empress above did not have much interest in singing and dancing, it was just to add to the celebration. The queen actually looked at Long Baoer for a longer time.
Seeing the sweetness the little girl was eating, the queen whispered something in the ear of the emperor.
Soon the Holy Sage rewarded him with several dishes.
The dishes eaten by the emperor and the empress were naturally different from those of the ministers, and the emperor's appreciation of the dishes was also the focus of the ministers' attention.
Whoever the Holy Spirit rewards represents a trend.
In previous years, some important ministers in the court would receive delicacies from the emperor.
But this year, one more little dragon baby was rewarded.
No matter what others thought, Long Baoer was absolutely happy and almost kowtowed again when she stood up, but thanks to Eunuch Xi, he quickly grabbed her by the hand.
Eunuch Xi's face was full of smiles, "Hey, little miss, Your Majesty spared you the trouble of kneeling."
The emperor rewarded him with venison and a plate of cakes. The venison tastes better when it is cooked in a hot pot on the table.
This hot pot is also Long Baoer's favorite today. It's so hot that you can even drink the soup. Long Baoer ate several mouthfuls of meat and vegetables, and drank half a bowl of soup. Sweat broke out on his forehead.
Halfway through the banquet, Long Baoer was completely full even if Changchun fed slowly.
When the emperor and empress went down to change clothes, they were actually taking a break in disguise, and also allowed the ministers and ladies below who needed to change clothes to go there easily.
After the emperor and empress left, everyone in the hall relaxed a lot, and even started to take big bites of food.
Xue Qingsong also had a few drinks and turned to chat with his uncle Chang Maozhi who was not far away.
Chang Chun went out for convenience and left Long Bao'er at the table for Xue Qingsong to take care of.
Long Baoer sat obediently next to his uncle, holding a small piece of fruit and eating it slowly.
Although the meal is full, it does not affect the snacks and fruits!
While I was eating, several children gathered around me.
Xue Qingsong took a look and saw that these were children brought by the ministers. He smiled and said to Long Bao'er, "You can play with the little brothers and sisters, but you can't go out."
"it is good!"
