Chapter four hundred and twentieth seems a long time
After Liu Chengqian resigned, he gradually drifted away. Young Master Liu watched his son's back disappear into the imperial garden. He gently took out two books from his sleeves and silently read them again.
After a while, Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head, put the two books into his cuffs again, and strode towards the Fu'an Palace in high strides.
"Here comes someone."
The little palace maid who was waiting at the entrance of the observation deck with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered hurriedly looked at Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty? What are your orders?"
"Go and collect the pastries on the stone table of the observation deck and share them with the maids and eunuchs in the harem. They are all clean and untouched high-quality pastries. It would be a pity to waste them."
"I obey your orders. I would like to thank your majesty for the cakes."
Young Master Liu turned to look at the little palace maid beside him who looked at him with a grateful face and nodded with a smile. He carefully looked at the little palace maid in front of him who was about the same age as his daughter Liu Yaoyao. Young Master Liu felt a little softer in his heart.
Seeing the nervous and weak look of the little palace maid, Young Master Liu subconsciously reached out and pinched the delicate cheeks of the little palace maid in front of him, which had been blown white by the cold wind.
"Xiao Nizi, in this cold winter weather, you are wearing so little clothing, so you are not afraid of catching the cold accidentally.
What? Didn’t the Ministry of Internal Affairs distribute you some warm clothes for the winter?”
The little palace maid herself did not expect that His Majesty, who was usually full of majesty, would behave so intimately to her, and her pretty face, which turned pale, was instantly stained with a blush.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Your Majesty, it has been sent, it has been sent.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs distributed winter clothing to the slaves a month ago, just...just..."
"What is it? Say it with confidence? I won't blame you!"
The little palace maid's pretty eyes were slightly confused as she looked at Young Master Liu with a soft smile on his face for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at Young Master Liu any longer.
Although looking directly into your face is not a serious crime in the Dragon Law, it can also become a disrespectful act if someone wants to take the lead.
If by chance your Majesty is in a bad mood, this kind of behavior, which is not considered a sin according to Dalong's laws, may become a serious sin that can cost your life.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this slave was sweating a little while cleaning the snow outside the Great Guangming Hall, so he took off his clothes to keep out the cold.
But unexpectedly, I just received an order to bring drinks and cakes to His Majesty. Because I was afraid that His Majesty would be impatient, I didn’t have time to put on some clothes to keep out the cold."
Young Master Liu nodded understandingly, looked up and down the little palace maid's frail body, and suddenly reached out and grasped the little palace maid's small hands.
Cold, not only cold but also cold. It seems that this little palace lady has been waiting in the cold wind for a long time.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, slave... slave... slave..."
Mr. Liu released his rough hands that were holding the little palace maid, took off the thick cloak from his back, and put it directly on the little palace maid who was so nervous that she couldn't even finish her sentence.
After tying the silk belt around the little palace maid's neck, Young Master Liu took a breath of wine with a smile.
"I don't eat people, why are you so nervous? After you finish packing the things on the observation deck, you little girl, don't forget to go back early and put on more clothes.
I haven't lived in the harem for a long time, so I don't know much about your situation.
If there are any shortcomings in the Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding your food and clothing expenses, just go directly to Xiao Chengzi to make adjustments for you.
If little Chengzi dares to put on airs, just tell him that this is my intention, and he will naturally not dare to deal with it.
By the way, what’s your name, Xiaonizi?”
"Your Majesty, slave... slave... my current name is Chun'er. Before I entered the palace to serve Your Majesty, my common name was Yue Chunniang."
"Chun'er, Yue Chunniang, it's really a good name.
Just like your little girl, she is simple, kind, and even a little silly.
Chun'er, I have remembered your name. I will say hello to Little Chengzi when I have time in the future, and I will transfer you to the Hall of Light for duty."
"ah?"
"Chun'er!"
"My slave is here."
"Since you have cleared the snow outside the Great Guangming Palace, it means you know the location of the Guangming Palace. After you put on your own warm clothes, don't forget to return my cloak to the Guangming Palace.
When I attend the next court meeting, I will continue to wear my clothes when I change my clothes in the Hall of Light.
If it were any other cloak, I would give it to you if I gave it to you. But this cloak was bought for me by my good daughter Princess Yue. I don’t dare to give it away easily.
Okay, let’s talk about it for now. After you pack your things, you can go back early to keep warm. I’ll go back first.”
After Master Liu finished speaking, he waved his hand gracefully and continued to rush towards Fu'an Palace without waiting for Chun'er to react.
Chun'er stared blankly as Mr. Liu's back gradually faded away. After coming back to his senses, he lowered his head and looked at the thick fox fur cloak on his body.
I don’t know what this little girl was thinking, because after the big cloak was wrapped around her body, her pretty face gradually became rosy, and looking at Young Master Liu’s back, it became even more rosy.
It wasn't until Young Master Liu's back disappeared into the imperial garden that Chun'er retracted her gaze and ran straight to the high observation deck.
"Slave, please see..."
"Shh! Is Princess Yue in the palace garden of Fu'an Palace now?"
The palace maid looked at Young Master Liu who signaled her to be silent and hurriedly closed her lips. She reached out and pointed towards the Fu'an Palace not far away, and lowered her voice to the lowest level.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Yue is currently accompanying the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the palace..."
"Eh? Daddy, why are you here at Grandma Nangong's place? Where are the second brother, mistress and the others?"
The little palace maid had just finished speaking when she was silenced by the clear voice of the little cutie who was surprised.
"Slave, please see Your Highness the Princess."
"No gifts, no gifts, go and serve the Empress Dowager first."
The little cutie flicked her wrist nonchalantly and walked towards her father with a smile.
"Yes, I will leave this slave."
The palace maid bowed to the father and daughter and then turned around and rushed to the palace garden. The little cutie carelessly heard Liu Dashao jumping up and down a few times.
"Smelly daddy, you didn't wait here specially for me, did you?"
Young Master Liu looked at the cute little girl with a bright smile and no girlish attitude in an annoyed manner, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
"Hey, oh, stinky daddy, what's your attitude? Wait a minute, Yue'er!
Stinky daddy, Yue'er has worked so hard to help you please your grandma. It's okay if you don't thank Yue'er. Why are you still treating Yue'er with such an annoying attitude of being indifferent?
Yue'er didn't make you unhappy, why do you act like Yue'er made mistakes again and again?"
Listening to the little cutie chattering in his ears, Young Master Liu sighed helplessly and quickened his pace again.
"Hey, smelly old man... Liu Mingzhi, you've grown up, haven't you? You dare to pretend not to hear what I'm saying. You're going too far.
Do you believe that as soon as I left the palace, I rushed back to Jiangnan to complain to my grandparents and my two elders, saying that you, as a father, are disrespectful and deliberately made your daughter angry?"
When the little cutie saw that her stinky father still ignored her, she immediately quickened her pace and took a run, rushing towards Young Master Liu's back like a tiger pouncing on food.
Accurately jumping on his father's back, the little cutie locked his slender jade arms tightly around Liu Dashao's neck, and with a smile, he put his head to his father's ear.
"Smelly daddy, are you going to run away?"
"Ouch! You stinky girl, how old are you and your father is carrying you on his back? Why don't you get down quickly!"
"If you don't go down, you won't go down. I've been tired for a long time helping you please your grandmother, so what's wrong with you carrying me out of the palace so that I can have a rest?"
Dirty daddy, you haven't carried the moon on your back for many years.
One year? Two years? Three years? Four years? Or ten years?
It seems to have been a long time, do you really not love Yue'er anymore?"
