Ruan Mianmian still had to give the emperor some face. Besides, given her friendship with Eunuch Kang, even if she didn't know about it before, she should have known about it along the way.
Xiao Naituanzi suddenly realized that the emperor was the emperor, and asking Eunuch Kang to pick him up was probably part of his plan.
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Ruan Mianmian stretched out her little hand and tugged on the Emperor's sleeve, "I wonder what Mianmian can do for you?"
This was a question knowingly. The emperor didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched the little face of the little breast dumpling.
"It hurts, please spare my life, Your Majesty." Ruan Mianmian shouted exaggeratedly.
The little baby tried so hard to play with the treasures, but the emperor still gave him face and finally smiled.
Eunuch Kang, who was waiting next to him, breathed a sigh of relief. Princess Linglong had the ability. The emperor had not really smiled for several days. As long as the master was in a good mood, his life as a slave would be easier.
"Princess, your Majesty is worried about the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince." After Eunuch Kang finished speaking, he pretended to kneel down as if he suddenly remembered, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I have talked too much."
"Get up." Of course the emperor did not mean to blame Eunuch Kang.
Ruan Mianmian took advantage of the situation and asked: "I heard that the Queen is ill, what's wrong with my little brother?"
With Mr. Kang's public appearance and the small-breasted dumpling's taste, the emperor sighed softly and spoke.
"The queen is seriously ill and depressed, but the prince refuses to visit her. You and Yu'er have always been on good terms, and I want you to persuade him."
"Haha, Mianmian is confused. The queen has never wanted to see her little brother. Wouldn't it be troublesome for him to see Feng Jia?"
The emperor frowned and said with a hint of reproach in his tone: "After all, the queen is his mother. She is sick now. As a son of a human being, Yu'er should let go of any dissatisfaction he has."
"I don't agree with this. A mother is kind and a son is filial. The prerequisite is that the mother is kind so that the son can be filial. My little brother has been wronged so much before, but the emperor has never asked for justice for him."
"Princess!" Eunuch Kang signaled from the side, fearing that Ruan Mianmian would anger the Holy Master.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the emperor's face showed an angry look. His eyes fell on the face of Xiaonuituanzi. Seeing her undisguised resentment, his expression instantly softened.
Eunuch Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Ruan Mianmian was actually a little worried about angering the emperor, but she would not regret it even if she was punished for her little brother's grievance.
The emperor nodded slightly and even smiled: "You are very good to Yu'er."
"Actually, I can't blame my little brother for this. The palace is so big and deserted. When he was a child, he must have wanted to have his mother's love. But in the end he was disappointed and became cold-hearted. Now that he has grown up, he no longer needs it."
Ruan Mianmian's eyes flashed with distress. My little brother was obviously the most noble person in the world, but he failed to receive the ordinary maternal love in the world.
The emperor was shocked. Li Yu refused to listen to the advice and refused to see the queen these days. At first, he patiently tried to persuade her, but gradually he became more angry. He also thought of issuing an order directly, but in the end he was persuaded by Eunuch Kang.
Living.
Ruan Mianmian spoke frankly, and seeing her sincerely feeling sorry for Li Yu, the emperor was suddenly shocked to realize that he was wrong. He actually had an unshirkable responsibility for their mother and son to get to where they are today.
Seeing the emperor's self-reproaching look and noticing the regret in his eyes, Ruan Mianmian finally relented, but it was not for him or the queen, she was for her little brother.
"I can go and persuade my little brother, but I won't force him. It's up to him whether he wants to or not."
"Okay." The emperor no longer insisted, "Go ahead. Even if he doesn't want to go, you can enlighten him. This kid won't feel happy."
Now like a father, Ruan Mianmian nodded solemnly, then stood up and left.
In the Yongtai Palace, it was a cold day, but Li Yu stood in the courtyard, ignoring the little eunuch and the nun who were serving him.
The cold wind howled by, and Li Yu's face, hands and feet were cold, but not as cold as his heart.
When Ruan Mianmian arrived at Yongtai Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already ordered her to come over. When Linglong County arrived, she could just come in directly. There was no need to inform, so she had an unimpeded journey.
Seeing the familiar figure standing in the courtyard outside the hall from a distance, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but frown, and her footsteps stopped.
Following the direction Li Yu was looking at, it was clearly where the Kunyi Palace was. Ruan Mianmian let out a long sigh. He was so stubborn that he obviously couldn't let it go, but he still stubbornly insisted on resisting the emperor.
After knowing the truth of that year, the little brother not only resented the Queen, but also probably resented the Emperor even more.
Seeing the arrival of Princess Linglong, the palace servants serving Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Ruan Mianmian waved to them, and they all bowed and retreated. Jiu'er also retreated further.
Ruan Mianmian walked forward and called softly: "Little brother."
"You're here." Li Yu turned to face Ruan Mianmian, "It's such a cold day, why don't you stay in the palace and go to the palace?"
"Look at you." Ruan Mianmian stepped forward and held Li Yu's hand.
Li Yu pulled his hand back: "My hands are cold."
"My hands are also cold." Ruan Mianmian held Li Yu's hand again, "Let's go into the house."
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obediently allowed Princess Linglong to lead her back to the main palace, the eunuch and maid hurriedly offered hand-made stoves and ginger-jujube tea.
Ruan Mianmian ignored herself and just stared at Li Yu with wide eyes, watching him take the hand stove after drinking tea. Little Nipple Dumpling drank tea under Jiu'er's service and then sat next to him holding the hand stove.
Signing for all the people waiting to step back, Jiu'er also retreated at the door. Ruan Mianmian freed up a hand to hold Li Yu's hand.
Li Yu turned his head to look at Xiaonuituanzi in surprise, and heard her say softly: "Brother, I know everything. You must be very sad and in pain."
Ruan Mianmian knew what needed to be said, and Li Yu also knew it. He was not surprised, after all, the old Marquis Ruan Geng was present at the time.
The hall was quiet, Li Yu was silent, and Ruan Mianmian was not in a hurry to speak. She just jumped down and walked in front of Li Yu, holding his hand tightly with her little hands.
After knowing what happened that day, Li Yu looked indifferent on the surface when he saw the Queen fainting in front of him, but in fact, he was in a state of turmoil and felt no better than she did.
These days, everyone including his father seemed to be accusing him of being unfilial in his words and deeds. Li Yu looked at him coldly and looked indifferent. He had resentment, sadness, pain, and dissatisfaction in his heart, but no one cared.
At this moment, he felt the warmth flowing from his little hands, which warmed Li Yu's hands and also warmed his heart.
Ruan Mianmian's comfort made Li Yu couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.
"No matter what others do, you follow your heart. No matter what you do, I will support you." Ruan Mianmian squeezed Li Yu's hand to show her support.
Li Yu asked in a low voice: "Don't you advise me to visit my mother?"
"Did she come to visit you when you were sick?" Ruan Mianmian rolled her eyes, "She didn't do it, so why should she ask you to do it?"
