Prince Xiao noticed something was wrong with Emperor Mingwen's expression, and immediately handed over his hand: "My brother, that's not what I meant, my brother..."

After explaining for a long time, he still couldn't explain clearly. He stood aside with an embarrassed expression and said nothing.

Emperor Mingwen glanced at Eunuch Mo. Eunuch Mo personally stepped forward to help Mr. Li up and comforted him: "Master Li, you are worrying too much. The emperor cares about you and you are not in a hurry. How can he punish you?"

Li Shilang stood up uneasily, his back almost wet with sweat, and looked at Emperor Mingwen nervously: "Your Majesty, I don't ask for much. I want to give my daughter justice. I will not pursue this matter anymore. The deceased

It’s over, it’s better to let my little girl rest in peace as soon as possible.”

Now that Li Shilang relented, Emperor Mingwen also took advantage of the situation and immediately drafted an edict to posthumously designate Li Shanshan as the first-grade imperial concubine. She was buried in a grand ceremony and announced that she died saving people. In this way, the Li family and Prince Xiao's Mansion were

and the royal face was illuminated.

Even if Li Shanshan's matter came to an end, Li Shilang knelt down to thank him again. As for the matter of Beibei's custody, Li Shilang had no right to intervene and had no interest in hearing it, so he handed it over and left.

Prince Xiao was livid with displeasure, and he could not get angry in front of Emperor Mingwen. He said directly to Prince Xiao: "You are so unsatisfactory. I can't help you even if I have the will. You go find your mother."

Chu Yunning was overjoyed when she heard this. This matter was brought before the Queen Mother. Needless to say, it was definitely against her.

"yes!"

Emperor Mingwen waved his hands to several people: "Please step aside."

After the few people left, Prince Xiao went straight to Cihe Palace. Chu Yunning hesitated for a moment, but followed without any hurry.

"Chu Shanggong, I helped you just now." Concubine Xia couldn't wait to take credit. Her palms are still wet even now.

Chu Yunning looked like I understand: "I know the kindness of the imperial concubine. I will go back to read the books and nurse the imperial concubine back to health as soon as possible."

Concubine Xia then left with a smile.

Seeing Concubine Xia's leaving figure, Chu Yunning slowed down a lot and listened to the footsteps behind her.

"Chu Shanggong, please stay!"

Sure enough, Eunuch Mo caught up with him.

Chu Yunning turned around and pretended to be puzzled. Eunuch Mo said, "The emperor said that the weather is too hot and he wants to eat strawberry ice cream. Please help Chu Shang Palace prepare it."

Chu Yunching remained silent, and Eunuch Mo lowered his voice and whispered: "Chu Shang Palace, you don't know that King Xiao said a lot in front of the emperor just now. After all, it is brotherly love, and the emperor cannot ignore it and can deal with it.

The situation just now has reached the emperor's maximum limit."

This is true. No harmonious woman can take away the family's heirs. After all, we are not in modern times, not to mention that Beibei still has royal blood flowing in his body.

She believed that Emperor Mingwen never let go.

"I'll go get ready right now."

Chu Yunning recognized this favor. As long as Emperor Mingwen kept his word and was willing to let her take Beibei to Shu alone, she was willing to help Emperor Mingwen solve some problems.

King Xiao went to the Queen Mother, but Chu Yunning was not in a hurry anymore, so he went to the small kitchen of the Yizheng Hall, asked for some ingredients, and made a sumptuous lunch.

As for the ice cream, there are several more flavors, including vanilla, pineapple, peach, strawberry, and red bean.

Emperor Mingwen looked at the dozen flavors of ice cream, with a smile on his lips. He tasted a little of each, and each flavor was different.

"This is quite new."

Maybe it was because it was too hot. Emperor Mingwen felt much better after eating two bowls. Eunuch Mo had been with Emperor Mingwen for many years and had never seen anything good. This was the first time he saw such a strange snack, and the name was also very special.

strangeness.

"I reward you." Emperor Mingwen waved his hand, and Eunuch Mo was overjoyed: "I thank you, Your Majesty."

"Where is Chu Yuning?"

"Reply to the emperor, Chu Shang Palace is still in the small kitchen, and will prepare lunch for the emperor." Eunuch Mo stayed in the small kitchen for a while, watching Chu Yunning cooking, his jaw was simply stunned. During this period, Chu Yunning returned

He tasted a few mouthfuls.

That tastes amazing!

Emperor Mingwen's smile deepened when he heard this: "She has some conscience."

After waiting for a while, the young father-in-law came to pass the meal. Emperor Mingwen got up in good spirits and went to the side hall. There was a table full of meals, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, and he looked very appetizing.

"Where is Chu Yuning?"

Eunuch Mo immediately swallowed the ice cream in his mouth. It was so delicious. He wiped the corners of his mouth and hurried forward to reply: "Back to the emperor, Chu Shang Palace has gone to Cihe Palace."

"Then Chu Yun would rather have a meal?" When he asked, Emperor Mingwen felt that it was a bit redundant. How could he stay hungry while guarding the stove?

She doesn't seem to have a bad temper.

So Emperor Mingwen waved his hand and continued to eat. Just then, a little head appeared at the door of the side hall. After a while, his little body also leaned out, and shouted softly: "Uncle Huang!"

When Emperor Mingwen saw it was Beibei, he immediately put down his chopsticks and waved to him: "Come and sit here, Uncle Huang."

Beibei was not afraid of him either. He hurried over in three steps at a time and sat down at the seat next to Emperor Mingwen. Eunuch Mo immediately prepared bowls and chopsticks for Beibei.

"Have you had your meal?"

Beibei shook his head: "Not yet."

"Look at the prince's sweating profusely. My servant feels distressed when he sees it." Eunuch Mo took a handkerchief and wiped it for Beibei.

Because Beibei was running in a hurry, his hair was wet with sweat. He looked anxious. Emperor Mingwen freed up his hand and filled a bowl of meatball soup for Beibei and placed it in his hand.

"Did you come from the imperial grandmother?" Emperor Mingwen asked.

Beibei had to nod when he pecked at the rice. Originally, he was playing chess pieces with the Emperor's grandmother. When Xiao Wang came, the Emperor's grandmother asked him to go out to play without saying a few words. Beibei saw that something was wrong, so he hid behind the screen and listened quietly.

A few words.

Prince Xiao wanted to take him back to Prince Xiao's Mansion. In desperation, Beibei had no choice but to come to Emperor Mingwen for help. Emperor Mingwen was the biggest in the palace and everyone had to listen to him. As long as Emperor Mingwen didn't agree, there was nothing anyone else could do.

"eat first."

Emperor Mingwen slowly picked up vegetables for Beibei. Beibei tried to open his mouth several times but was blocked by Emperor Mingwen: "You can't say anything when you eat or sleep. Didn't Master teach you?"

Beibei was silent, his restless and irritable heart gradually calmed down, and he ate with a spoon obediently. He was not picky about food, and he ate whatever Emperor Wen put in his hands.

Eunuch Mo looked at this warm scene and suddenly sighed, it would be great if the emperor also had a little prince, then the emperor must be a loving father.

Emperor Mingwen took care of Beibei unskilledly. After watching him finish a bowl of rice, he asked: "Are you full?"

"Well! The food cooked by my mother is delicious. Uncle Huang, what do you think?" Beibei asked. He could tell at a glance that the meal was cooked by his mother and it tasted very good.

The corners of Emperor Mingwen's mouth turned upward: "Your mother's cooking skills are indeed good, and you are in luck."

After eating and drinking, Emperor Mingwen deliberately took Bei Bei's temper and returned to the main hall to review the memorial. Bei Bei was grinding away boredly. Occasionally, Emperor Ming Wen raised his head to look at him, his pink and jade-carved little face looked tender.

This kid has really pretty features.

"What have Master taught you these days?" Emperor Mingwen asked curiously while reviewing the memorial.

Beibei counted on his fingers: "There are four books and five classics, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, riding and shooting."

Speaking of this, Beibei imitated an adult and let out a long sigh. Emperor Mingwen asked very cooperatively: "Why are you sighing, children? Did something happen to you?"

"Uncle Huang, I am the only child in the palace. It is really boring. It would be nice if there were more."

Beibei's words made Emperor Mingwen mistakenly think that Chu Yunning was teaching him how to please him, so the smile on his face faded a bit. He didn't like people who played tricks.

"Who taught you this?"

Knowing that there is no little prince in the palace, how can anyone play with him?

Beibei looked at Emperor Mingwen with his big innocent eyes: "Uncle Huang, I used to be the only child in Prince Xiao's Mansion, but my mother would take me to a private school, and the surrounding children would attend classes together there. There were so many people.

lively."

The speaker had no intention of listening, and something suddenly flashed through Emperor Mingwen's mind, and he heard Beibei say: "Uncle Huang, why can't there be a private school in the palace, so that ministers or the prince's children can enter the palace together? I

Don’t you have company?”

These words were taught to him by Chu Yunning yesterday. After giving the order, many ministers were dissatisfied. If the young princes were brought into the palace, the vassal kings would be more wary. They could not resist the decree just because of a young prince.

It's disrespectful and you openly contradict the royal family.

That is naked rebellion!

Emperor Mingwen suddenly laughed loudly and held Beibei in his arms: "You are indeed too lonely alone. It's Uncle Huang's fault. Uncle Huang will try to find some friends for you to accompany you in the palace."

Beibei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he squinted at Emperor Mingwen and smiled: "Thank you, uncle Huang."

In Emperor Mingwen's opinion, Beibei solved his trouble by accident and did not suspect Chu Yunning.

"Eunuch Mo, I also have a set of nine rings made of white jade in my warehouse. Get it!"

Even when the Queen came to ask for the set of nine rings, the Emperor refused to give it away. When Eunuch Mo saw that the young prince was a promising person, he immediately sighed and turned around to get it.

Emperor Mingwen played with Beibei for a while, then looked at the clock and said, "Sneak out. Your grandmother should be anxious if she can't find you. Go back quickly."

"Uncle Huang, you should also pay more attention to rest. Don't get pregnant." Beibei stood up and took out a sachet from his arms like a young adult: "This sachet was given to me by my mother to calm my nerves.

, give it to Uncle Huang."

The stitching of this sachet was really bad, and the twisted flowers were mushy. Holding the sachet, Emperor Mingwen couldn't help laughing anymore.

It turns out that even Chu Yunning couldn't do it.

"Okay, Uncle Huang is very happy to receive Beibei's gift." Emperor Mingwen put the sachet into his arms in front of Beibei.
