The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Two carriages moved forward one after the other.

Xie Yuantang and Situ Yan were in a carriage. Both of them had washed and dressed up, each in gorgeous clothes, looking like a noble family.

If Xie Yuantang had not seen with his own eyes how Du Wei bullied Situ Yan, he might have been deceived at this moment and thought that the royal family was quite nice to him.

Xie Yuantang looked at Situ Yan, who had been picking his fingers nervously since he met Nanny Gui, and asked him in a low voice: "What are you afraid of? Are the Queen and Nanny Gui treating you badly?"

Situ Yan thought blankly for a moment and shook his head: "She gives me new clothes and delicious food. She is a good person."

"Then why are you afraid?"

"The Queen...will check my homework. If I don't answer well, I will be punished to write big characters. If I don't write well, I can't come out..."

His voice became lower and lower. Xie Yuantang narrowed his eyes and grasped the key words: "Can't come out?"

Situ Yan's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled slightly: "A dark house, very scary..."

Black House...

Xie Yuantang's eyes dimmed.

Ever since she knew that the wedding for good fortune was related to the Queen, she felt somewhat resistant to this high and mighty Queen.

If nothing else, putting a mentally ill person in a claustrophobic environment will only make him more out of control.

This queen...

Seeing that he looked wrong, Xie Yuantang held his cold big hand with her small hand: "Don't be afraid, you won't go into the dark room today."

Situ Yan looked at her nervously: "Really?"

"Yeah, I promise."

Looking at those bright black eyes, Situ Yan gradually calmed down.

Xie Yuantang's mind raced. While trying to comfort Situ Yan, he asked him, "Where is your father? Doesn't he help you?"

Situ Yan lowered his head even more.

"Father... is very fierce... I am stupid, and Father doesn't like me..."

"What about the others?"

Xie Yuantang quickly asked other people in the palace. She needed to know more so that she could respond properly.

Although Situ Yan cannot distinguish between good and evil, the simpler he is, the more he can instinctively perceive good and evil. Compared with those hypocritical adults, Xie Yuantang is more willing to believe in Situ Yan's instinct.

After I had some understanding of the situation in the palace, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

This was the first time Xie Yuantang had entered a place like the imperial palace.

She did not forget that she was just a nine-year-old girl, and she acted out the excitement and curiosity of a little girl appropriately along the way.

"Wow, these flowers are so beautiful, husband, let's go pick them!"

"Oh, what a huge rockery! Husband, let's go climb the mountain!"

"Wow, there's a river..."

Aunt Gui looked at the two people jumping up and down and urged them impatiently: "Your Highness, Princess, let's go quickly. The Queen is still waiting."

"Oh."

Xie Yuantang responded, not missing the hint of disgust in Nanny Gui's eyes.

Situ Yan beside her quietly squeezed her fingers and whispered, "My lady, if you like it, I will bring you here secretly."

Xie Yuantang was slightly stunned and then smiled.

When I arrived at Huikun Palace, I thought that since the bride was offering tea, the emperor should be present, but after entering, I found that only the empress was there.

Xie Yuantang followed Situ Yan in paying respects, but before he could kneel down, he was stopped by a kind yet solemn voice: "Stop kneeling, poor child, come here and let me see you."

Xie Yuantang looked up subconsciously, and only then did he see the queen's appearance clearly for the first time.

She looked to be in her thirties, with a thin yet dignified face, and her eyes were still dignified, which made it seem a little awkward even if she wanted to be more kind.

Xie Yuantang blinked, showing a smile that a nine-year-old girl should have, and said crisply: "Xie Yuantang greets the Queen."

If you ignore the whip marks on her face, this little face looks innocent, bright and lovable.

Queen Jiang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the daughter of the Xie family was born with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Good boy, thanks to you, A Yan was able to get through this difficult time."

Queen Jiang patted Xie Yuantang's arm and turned her gaze to the reserved and timid person beside her: "How do you feel, Ah Yan?"

"I... am fine." Situ Yan looked at her confusedly, then lowered his head timidly.

Queen Jiang's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled and said, "It would be better to ask the imperial physician to take a look. After you have seen your father, I will ask Imperial Physician Shen to take a look at you. When you are better, your father and I can feel more at ease."

Situ Yan didn't dare to say no, and only hesitated and said: "...Can I not drink the bitter medicine?"

"You are being willful again. If you don't take medicine for your mental illness, do you want to be a fool for the rest of your life?"

Queen Jiang sighed, frowned, and said in a much more serious tone: "You were crazy in the past, but now you have a wife. Even if you are not afraid of Yuan Tang being ridiculed by others, aren't you afraid that you might go crazy and hurt her?"

Situ Yan suddenly froze, his face turned pale, and he looked at Xie Yuantang speechlessly.

Xie Yuantang blinked and looked at Queen Jiang innocently: "My husband is not stupid, he is very good and treats me very well."

"is it?"

Queen Jiang smiled meaningfully: "Then why did I hear that you were unwilling to marry Yan'er yesterday?"

Xie Yuantang held Situ Yan's hand, smiled innocently, and said in a childish voice: "That's because no one told me. I didn't know my husband was such a good person."

Hearing her words, Situ Yan's peach blossom eyes suddenly sparkled: "My wife is better!"

Queen Jiang looked at the two people, one taller and one shorter, with a dark look in her eyes, but then she smiled kindly again: "I heard that you had some disputes with the people in the mansion today?"

Situ Yan nodded and said with a pursed mouth: "They don't give me steamed buns."

"As a prince, how can you snatch steamed buns from servants? They are right to discipline you."

Queen Jiang said earnestly, "Ayan, they are all carefully selected by me. They are all for your own good. You should listen to them more."

"Also, your father is very busy with government affairs, so don't bother him with these little things. Got it?"

Situ Yan nodded obediently. Xie Yuantang sneered in her heart. She said why did they have to walk in front of the Queen before serving tea? It turned out that she was waiting for them here!

unfortunately,

She just didn't want her to get her wish!

Queen Jiang wanted to give some instructions when she suddenly heard the eunuch outside speak loudly.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

"Master Taifu has arrived—"

Taifu?

Aren't we serving tea to the Emperor and Empress today? Why is there still a tutor?

Xie Yuantang was a little confused. Before she could ask Situ Yan who this tutor was, she heard footsteps outside.

In an instant, the corner of the bright yellow robe turned into the hall, and everyone in the hall immediately knelt down.

Only when he heard the shout did Xie Yuantang raise his head.

The emperor was over forty years old. Situ Yan said that he was very fierce, and he indeed looked so. His brows were furrowed, and even when he was relaxed, he still looked stern and cold.

Behind him followed a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.

The face is 60% similar to Situ Yan!

Xie Yuantang was a little surprised. He quietly touched Situ Yan's hand and mouthed, "Who is he?"

But Situ Yan frowned and replied in a low voice: "I...uncle."

uncle?

Situ Yan actually has an uncle who is a tutor. Why didn’t he say a word in the car just now?

Is it bad for him?

Then isn't today's tea ceremony a Hongmen Banquet?

If this is the case, then she must take the initiative.

Xie Yuantang was thinking quickly in his mind, and the two people who came in had already sat down.

As soon as the two sat down, their eyes fell on Situ Yan - Xie Yuantang next to him, as expected.

Noticing the two people's gazes, Xie Yuantang blinked without any fear.

She, Xie Yuantang, has been rampant for decades in the last days. Apart from her beauty and martial arts, what she lacks the most is courage!

With her big round eyes open and her little face raised, the nine-year-old Tang smiled softly and sweetly, and said in a childish voice:

"Tangtang pays respects to the emperor and greets uncle!"

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down and salute.

Suddenly, a "rolling" sound was heard.

A dirty and wrinkled steamed bun rolled out of Xie Yuantang's sleeve and fell to the ground.

Queen Jiang felt her heart tighten, and then she heard the emperor beside her ask in a cold voice:

"what is this?"

Xie Yuantang carefully picked up the steamed bun and said in a soft, timid voice, "Father, it was my husband who stole the breakfast for Tangtang."
