Ruan Mianmian snickered secretly, she found that this answer seemed to be omnipotent.
"It sounds like you are gifted. Ordinary babies at your age can't speak clearly and can't even recognize the words, let alone read. Even if they can really read, they may not be able to comprehend and apply them."
Ruan Mianmian covered her small cheeks with her hands and said with a smile: "The emperor praised me so much that I feel a little embarrassed."
Ruan Geng broke the news and said: "Haha, it's rare that you can be shy."
"Grandpa——!" Xiao Naituanzi coquettishly said, "If you keep talking, I will ignore you from now on."
"Okay, I was wrong, grandpa was wrong, little Mianmian, you can't ignore me."
Seeing the majestic Ding'an Marquis Ruan Geng helpless in front of his little breast dumplings, the emperor couldn't help laughing.
Ruan Mianmian just pretended, her eyes wandering: "Okay, I will forgive my grandfather."
Ruan Geng touched his nose and muttered: "I obviously have a problem with you, but you don't allow the old man to tell me."
"Grandpa, you'd better say less." Ruan Xiao tugged at Ruan Geng's sleeve.
Li Yu held Ruan Mianmian's hand and showed genuine joy on his face: "Father, I want to take Mianmian around."
"How many times have you been in the palace? Mianmian hasn't seen the Queen Mother yet?" The emperor thought for a moment.
Ruan Geng bowed and handed over his hand: "It's because I didn't think well and didn't take Mianmian to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
The emperor comforted him and said, "No wonder you, you were always in a hurry before and you couldn't go to Yishou Palace flawlessly."
Ruan Mianmian suddenly realized that the Queen Mother lived in the Yishou Palace inside the palace, and the emperor planned to build her a Yishou Garden outside.
"Father and Marquis Ding'an, please rest assured. I will take Mianmian to pay respects to the imperial grandmother first, and then I will take her for a walk."
"Old minister, please go with His Royal Highness."
"Old Marquis, my father probably wants to discuss state affairs with you, you are busy."
After finishing his words, Li Yu didn't allow Ruan Geng to refuse. He held Ruan Mianmian's hand and winked at Ruan Xiao: "Let's go."
Seeing the three children walking out of the royal study hand in hand, the emperor did not blame them. He was happy to see the friendship between Li Yu and the Ruan family succeed.
"Yu'er only shows his true colors when he sees Mianmian. He is usually too mature and steady."
"Speaking of which, regarding His Highness the Crown Prince, Mianmian had a suggestion before. After thinking about it for a long time, I thought it might not be a bad idea."
"Her suggestion?" The emperor was looking forward to it, "Please tell me what the little doll said."
"Mianmian said that the Emperor values His Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's natural. The prince is the crown prince of a country, so I naturally value him."
"She said that the palace is not suitable for the growth of His Royal Highness." Ruan Geng said while observing the changes in the emperor's expression. If he found something was wrong, he would not say anything.
After being stunned for a moment, the emperor came to his senses and said nothing, and Ruan Geng also stopped talking.
Eunuch Kang, who was waiting next to him, was very discerning and quickly refilled the tea for the emperor and the old marquis, just in time to ease the atmosphere.
"Did Mianmian say this?" A light flashed in the emperor's eyes.
Ruan Genggong cupped his hands and said, "Old minister, I dare not lie even a single word."
After a long sigh, the emperor asked: "Did Yu'er say something to Mianmian?"
"Mianmian specifically emphasized that this was a conclusion based on her own observations."
The emperor asked in confusion: "If the prince is not kept in the palace, why should he be allowed to travel?"
"Mianmian feels that there is a place that is particularly suitable for His Royal Highness. Of course, the premise is that he must hide his identity."
"Where?"
"Tiandao Academy."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and became even more puzzled: "Could it be said that the masters at Tiandao Academy are more knowledgeable than Ji Chang?"
"In terms of knowledge alone, the Master is definitely not as good as Ji Chang."
"Then why does His Highness go there?"
"Mianmian said that the small Tiandao Academy is the epitome of the imperial court. If His Royal Highness goes there hiding his identity, he can even experience the hardships of the people's livelihood."
The emperor's eyes flashed and then he fell into deep thought. After all that needed to be said, Ruan Geng said no more. He held a tea bowl and drank tea slowly.
After a long while, the emperor came back to his senses. He nodded slightly: "It makes some sense, but this matter needs to be carefully considered by me."
"Your Majesty, this is just a suggestion." Ruan Geng did not expect that Ruan Mianmian's seemingly absurd suggestion would actually work. The Emperor did not deny it on the spot, but he wanted to consider it just because he was tempted.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about state affairs." The emperor changed the topic, and Ruan Geng naturally realized what was interesting and stopped mentioning it.
After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Li Yu instantly became much more lively, chatting non-stop.
Ruan Mianmian looked at the energetic Li Yu and sighed that this is the real little brother.
Whether in front of the emperor, in front of the queen, or in front of others, Li Yu used layers of disguises to hide his true self.
This is the helplessness of being a prince, especially as a prince, Li Yu cannot allow any mistakes in his words and deeds.
It would be great if his suggestion could be realized. I wonder if his grandfather mentioned it? Ruan Mianmian didn't know that at the same time, Ruan Geng was talking to the emperor.
"Little brother, don't run too fast, Mianmian won't be able to catch up with you."
"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see the most beautiful flowers in the Royal Garden."
"Slow down."
"Who made your legs short?"
"Little brother is bullying." As soon as the little breasted dumpling pouted, Li Yu, who turned around and ran back, stopped him and picked him up.
Li Yu hugged Ruan Mianmian and spun around, and the laughter of the two of them made the birds hiding in the woods in the garden fly out one after another.
"I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy." Ruan Mianmian smiled very happily, "Brother, let me down quickly."
Li Yu was breathing heavily after putting Ruan Mianmian down. There was a small amount of sweat on his forehead, but his expression was extremely happy.
"Only in front of you will His Royal Highness be so happy." Ruan Xiao sighed.
"Yeah?"
Before Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, she saw that Li Yu suddenly stopped smiling, the expression on his face changed drastically, and his whole state was completely different from before.
A group of beauties came towards them, and it was really dazzling to see. From their clothes, Ruan Mianmian could tell at a glance that they were not palace maids, but ladies from the harem.
Li Yu took a deep breath and straightened his body. Seeing the group of people approaching, he stepped aside and bowed his hands. Ruan Xiao quickly knelt down.
Ruan Mianmian stared at the group of beauties in front of her. They were both fat and thin, but their common feature was beauty. No wonder so many people wanted to be emperors and have beautiful women as well as kings.
Ruan Xiao reached out and pulled Ruan Mianmian's little hand to signal, but she ignored him. Seeing this, he was secretly worried. None of the ladies in the harem were easy to mess with.
"His Royal Highness is here."
"Just passing by."
The leading Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Let's go to Kunyi Palace to say hello. Just now the Queen was talking about His Highness the Prince."
