Li Yu raised the corners of his mouth and lowered his head to hide a sneer. Concubine Xian said nicely, but he didn't believe that his mother would talk about him.
"Hey, who is this little doll?" Concubine Li said, and the concubines all turned their eyes to Ruan Mianmian, who was retreating behind Li Yu.
Luoluo took a few steps forward generously and bowed slightly: "Ruan Mianmian has met all of you."
"Princess Linglong." Concubine Li was very surprised.
Concubine De stepped forward and said, "Oh, what a cute doll."
"Quite clever."
"Well, no wonder the emperor likes it."
“Soft and cute pink.”
Ruan Mianmian nodded politely with her little head: "Thank you for your compliments, ladies and gentlemen."
Li Yu lowered his head and rolled his eyes. He knew best how hypocritical the women in the palace were. Not to mention Ruan Mianmian, even when it came to him as the prince, they said one thing in front of their father, another in front of their mother, and another in front of him.
It's a different set.
"I am following my father's order to take Princess Linglong to the Yishou Palace and leave first." After saying that, Li Yu took Ruan Mianmian with one hand and Ruan Xiao with the other, and turned around to leave.
The concubines looked at the backs of Li Yu and the three of them with their own thoughts. Soon they exchanged a few words and dispersed.
Prince Li Yu is the third among the brothers. The eldest son Li Sheng is the daughter of Concubine Xian. The second prince Li Yuan’s mother concubine is Concubine Li. The fourth prince Li Kang and the fifth prince Li Lian are the children of Concubine De and Concubine Rong respectively.
The eldest of the five princes is fifteen years old, and the youngest is only three years old. Although the emperor's sons are few compared to those in the harem of the previous dynasty, in the royal family, even if they don't want to fight, overt and covert fights between their biological mothers are inevitable.
of.
It wasn't until they were far away that Li Yu let go of Ruan Mianmian and Ruan Xiao's hands.
"Brother, you don't like them, do you?"
"It's not a question of whether you like them or not. Father likes them." Li Yu curled his lips with disdain on his face.
Ruan Mianmian smiled and said: "You will also marry many women in the future."
"I don't want it." Li Yu looked at the Ruan brothers and sisters with envy, "I think it's good to have rules like yours."
"If you think so now, you won't think so in the future." Ruan Mianmian did not take Li Yu's words seriously at all.
Ruan Xiao covered his mouth and snickered: "Don't you think it's too early to discuss these now?"
"Yes." Li Yu and Ruan Mianmian looked at each other and smiled.
"Let's go, the Yishou Palace is not far ahead." Li Yu pointed forward, "The Imperial Grandmother will be very happy to see you."
Ruan Mianmian walked forward and asked, "Brother, is the Queen Mother easy to get along with?"
"The Imperial Grandmother is very kind, she loves me the most." Li Yu said with a smile on his face when he talked about the Queen Mother.
Seeing Li Yu's expression, Xiao Nai Tuanzi knew. In Nuo Da's palace, the Queen Mother was the best to her little brother. Perhaps her love could more or less make up for the maternal love he lacked.
Although they have never met, Xiaonuituanzi has a good impression of the Queen Mother.
The three of them came to the gate of Yishou Palace, and the little eunuch who was guarding the gate rushed in to report.
Li Yu walked into the Queen Mother's Palace, obviously feeling much more relaxed. He was familiar with the roads and walked directly inside with Ruan Mianmian and Ruan Xiao.
After receiving the report, the Queen Mother was very happy and urged Her Majesty to come in as soon as possible.
"My grandson pays his respects to the imperial grandmother." Li Yu knelt down respectfully.
Ruan Xiao knelt down, and unexpectedly Ruan Mianmian also knelt down: "Ruan Mianmian (Ruan Xiao) kowtows to the Queen Mother."
Although the emperor had a decree to avoid kneeling, Ruan Mianmian was still willing to kneel out of respect for the elders after hearing that the Queen Mother loved her little brother and meeting him for the first time.
"Yu'er, get up quickly. I haven't seen the Imperial Grandmother for several days." The Queen Mother only saw the two people kneeling behind Li Yu after he stood up.
"Ruan Xiao, the Ai family recognizes your companion." The Queen Mother looked at the little man kneeling on the ground, "What was this little baby called just now?"
"The Queen Mother, my name is Ruan Mianmian." The little girl raised her head and smiled at the Queen Mother.
"The name sounds familiar." The Queen Mother murmured.
Li Yu hurriedly introduced: "The imperial grandmother, Mianmian is the granddaughter of Ding'an Marquis and belongs to the Ruan family."
"Oh, the Ai family has remembered that you are Princess Linglong, whom the Emperor has personally named."
"Exactly."
"Get up, Yu'er, hold on to this little baby."
The Queen Mother said with a smile on her face: "Mianmian, come forward and let the Aijia have a good look. Your grandfather came here a few days ago and talked about you. The old man was very proud of you and praised you to the sky."
Ruan Mianmian stood up, took three steps and two steps on her short legs and walked to the Queen Mother, raising her little face.
"Oh, you are really good-looking." The Queen Mother reached out and touched the cheek of the little breast dumpling and smiled from ear to ear. "She is not afraid of life at all. She is a bit as brave as your grandfather."
"In terms of courage, my grandfather is naturally brave in battle, but Mianmian dare not compare with him. The Queen Mother is so kind and approachable. One look at you makes people want to get closer and closer to you."
"Ouch, this little mouth is so sweet."
As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xiaonuituanzi took the initiative to hold her hand, and held her big hand with his small soft hand.
"Little brother, I like the Queen Mother as much as you do." Xiao Naituanzi did not forget to help Li Yu to please the Queen Mother at the critical moment.
After hearing what Xiao Naituanzi said, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment: "Yu'er likes Aijia?"
"The Queen Mother, my little brother just said that you are the one who loves me the most in the palace."
Hearing this, Li Yu lowered his head in embarrassment. He had no scruples about anything he said in front of Ruan Mianmian, but he didn't expect that she would turn around and tell the imperial grandmother what she said.
The Queen Mother looked at Li Yu and saw that he did not refute. She knew that what Ruan Mianmian said was true. She was relieved and distressed at the same time.
I am gratified that my love for my grandson Li Yu was not in vain. What I feel bad for is that the person who loves my precious grandson the most is not his parents but my old lady who is the imperial grandmother.
Ruan Mianmian instantly understood the tangled and contradictory heart of the Queen Mother.
Raising a smile, Ruan Mianmian said wisely: "Empress Dowager, my grandfather said several times that he would bring me to pay your respects, but he didn't keep his word."
The Empress Dowager was so happy that she dared to admit that Xiaotiao Tuanzi was suing her grandfather in front of her?
"But today he was originally going to accompany us, but the emperor left him in the imperial study room." Ruan Mianmian also complained to the emperor.
"That's it, then tell me how the Ai family should punish them?" the Queen Mother teased the little breast dumpling.
Taking Li Yu with one hand and Ruan Xiao with the other, Ruan Mianmian said seriously: "The Queen Mother, when we go to the Imperial Garden to play, we won't take them with us."
"Haha——!" The little doll in front of her was so cute that she couldn't bear it anymore, and the Queen Mother laughed heartily.
Ruan Mianmian looked up to the Queen Mother with expectation: "Do you agree?"
"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother pulled the little breast dumpling into her arms. This chapter has been completed!
