Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice
Chapter 16 How Noble is the Second Miss of the General's Mansion
Bei Jingchu took a look and said: [Wow, it's redder than a face that got slapped! This must have contained a lethal amount of cinnabar and heavy metals!]
[As expected, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. 】
Emperor: ...Okay.
"I think that you are the true dragon emperor, so you should enjoy this elixir.
So, I will go and persuade the Taoist priest to work for you.
But the Taoist priest is a layman, and he said that he would only come out of seclusion if his heart was sincere, unless the emperor came to invite him personally."
This is also what his staff thought.
An immortal who has attained enlightenment must be arrogant enough to have a sense of mystery.
Only after the emperor personally visited him three times would he be convinced.
Prince Lu waited for the emperor to ask him where the Taoist priest was, and then he would say the name of a mountain.
There is no specific location yet, so the emperor needs to find it himself.
After finding them, some Taoist children will try to stop them, saying that their master has gone down the mountain to travel and won’t be back for sure.
In this way, the emperor would become extremely anxious and look forward to the Taoist priest's arrival even more, and would obey the Taoist priest's orders in the future.
Prince Lu's dream was very good. He was almost imagining the scene of himself ascending the throne after the emperor took the elixir and died.
As a result, the emperor said nonchalantly: "Forget it if you don't want to leave the mountain. I won't force you to do anything."
King Lu: "Ah?"
"No, my royal brother. If he were alive, I could eat the elixir every day. But if he is not here, I can only have this one pill."
The emperor did not even bat an eyelid, and continued to concentrate on his memorial and answered him: "One is enough, to prove that I have no chance of immortality."
The emperor sitting on the high throne was as calm and composed as a true monk.
[Awesome! He was able to resist the temptation of the elixir. It turns out that my father is not an ordinary emperor.]
Bei Jingchu began to suspect that she was wearing a fan fiction, otherwise why would the plot become more and more outrageous?
Now Prince Lu was no longer calm.
How could one be enough? At most one could kill the baby next to the emperor.
Not necessarily.
Prince Lu stood there and wanted to say something, but the emperor finally looked up at him and said, "Go and think of a way, and try to find someone."
If all the roads were blocked, how could his good brother continue his show?
[Alas~ It turns out that refining elixirs is the fate that even the emperor cannot escape. ]
The emperor pinched the frowning little fellow's soft and tender cheek.
He was so smart when he was in court, how come he can't see now that he was playing along with the enemy?
Prince Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was different from what he had expected, at least he had managed to get the person in.
In the original novel, Taoist Qianqing is a big villain. Because he gained the respect and trust of the emperor by offering elixir, he was very arrogant in the palace and even had the power to cover up everything.
The emperor thought so highly of him that he would not even listen to the advice of the imperial teacher.
The young male protagonist was also bullied by him. It was only after the emperor passed away and the male protagonist ascended the throne that he had this evil Taoist priest torn to pieces in public.
But this time he was not welcomed into the palace by the emperor himself, but was led in through a corner gate of the palace.
Then he was arranged to live in the servants' room.
Taoist Qianqing: How is this different from what we agreed?
Didn’t Prince Lu say that Your Majesty would use him in a high position and that he would be able to get whatever he wanted?
He stuffed silver into the eunuch who led him and asked, "Eunuch, I wonder when His Majesty will summon me."
The eunuch shook the silver, but it was too light, so he threw it back in disgust.
"Your Majesty is very busy, so it's impossible for a nobody like you to meet him whenever you want.
Just wait and hand in the pills every day.
When His Majesty enjoys his meal one day, he might summon you."
But for several days, the emperor showed no sign of paying any attention to him.
The Taoist priest began to doubt the effectiveness of his elixir.
That's not right. The pills he made would make any normal person feel energized and happy as if they had entered a fairyland after taking them.
The emperor has been eating for several days and will definitely want to see him.
"Your Majesty, today's medicine has been delivered."
When Eunuch Jiang brought it up, the emperor said, "You don't need my review anymore. Send it directly to Imperial Doctor Shen."
Bei Jingchu blinked her big eyes in the cradle: [**This is ridiculous, shouldn't the emperor be addicted to elixirs and unable to live without them for even a moment?
How come he didn't fall for it? He saw through it right away. 】
The emperor was somewhat proud, and wanted to let his little bastard see what a wise, brave, observant and all-knowing emperor his father was.
Doctor Shen heard that there was a pill that could make a person feel refreshed for a short period of time, but would constantly drain the body.
The medical fanatic was immediately addicted. He analyzed the ingredients of the pills sent by the Taoist priest for several days and finally figured it out.
Then he went to the emperor and reported: "Indeed, most of them are harmful to the human body. I have recorded all the medicinal materials used."
Very good, then there will be one more piece of evidence to punish King Lu.
The emperor sighed slightly, but in fact he still held a glimmer of hope. What if it really was a magic pill?
In the end, the result proved that the little guy's prediction was correct.
The days passed peacefully, and Bei Jingchu was almost one month old.
The emperor even issued a general amnesty to celebrate.
It is really too grand for a child's full month celebration, and the extent to which the eldest princess is favored is amazing.
But the court officials thought again, the emperor only had one child who made it past the full month, and it was understandable that he was so happy that he was silly.
Because Bei Jingchu kept clamoring to see the heroine, the emperor told Lei Ning to bring his eldest daughter up to attend the princess's full moon banquet.
After Lei Ning returned home, he told the news to Lei Nian'er's aunt, who was ecstatic.
"Tomorrow I'll find some better fabric from the bottom of the box and cut a nice dress for Nian'er to wear to the banquet in a pretty way."
"Is there any problem with this outfit?" General Lei didn't know much about clothing materials. He wore official robes when he met the emperor, but for him, anything that could be worn at other times was fine.
Aunt Gui explained in a low voice: "The material that Nian'er is wearing is not bright enough, and it's not suitable for someone her age.
The material is also inferior. If other families saw it, they would think that the general couldn’t afford to raise a daughter.”
General Lei was displeased: "Then why don't you take some good clothes for your daughter to change into?"
Aunt Gui choked up and said speechlessly: "Then I must also get good fabrics."
General Lei finally understood. He put his hands together on the table and asked sincerely:
"Are you saying that when Madam was the housekeeper, she withheld your clothing materials?"
Doesn't look very smart.
Lei Nian'er, who was trying hard to eat while reducing her presence, couldn't help but choke.
Aye is so stupid. She knew what A Niang meant, but Aye didn't understand.
Aunt Gui: Do you have to ask so directly?
How can she handle this?
If she said yes, it would seem that she had bad intentions and was trying to get close to the mistress. If she said no, what if this idiot just believed it and ignored it?
Shouldn't you, after you realized it, fly into a rage, punish those servants who embezzled money, hold Madam Lei accountable, and finally replenish the withheld supplies to them and their daughter?
Why don't you play according to the routine?
Aunt Gui gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Oh! Why didn't you say it earlier? You're beating around the bush. I have a lot of good stuff here, I'll send it to you later."
After saying this, he looked at Aunt Gui eagerly, as if she was waiting for her to praise him.
After waiting for a while, he heard no sound and saw Aunt Gui looking at him like a fool.
Lei Ning was a little confused: "Is there anything else?"
Of course something happened!
The material is important, but she wanted to use this incident to expose the fact that the servants were looking down on people and cheating them.
It just so happens that the general is here and can help the mother and daughter establish their authority.
As a result, this stupid and straightforward guy only cared about the matter of clothes.
During this period, Aunt Gui spent more time with the general when he came to see her daughter.
She had figured it out, and reminded him not to beat around the bush when talking to this man.
You have to speak directly and straightforwardly, otherwise he won't understand.
But she hesitated and didn't dare to say it out loud, and Lei Nian'er couldn't bear it anymore.
"Aniang means that those servants always bully Aniang and me. Today Aye is here, and she wants Aye to punish them."
Aunt Gui covered Lei Nian'er's greasy mouth with a handkerchief, which she had not wiped after dinner.
General Lei finally understood, and he slapped his thigh:
"Oh, you are so anxious, just say it directly! Do you still want me to guess your thoughts?"
Aunt Gui responded with a smile and put Lei Nian'er on her knees.
Soon the steward arrived.
General Lei got straight to the point: "How much stuff did you seize from Aunt Gui and the eldest lady?"
When the manager heard this, he immediately cried out that it was not good and cursed his stupid son to death eight hundred times in his heart.
It's all that brat's fault for coming up with the bad idea of not offending the lady for the sake of the eldest lady.
Now the general actually held him accountable.
......
An hour later, in the main courtyard.
The little maid reported the news she had heard to Madam Lei. "Madam, the steward was punished for withholding the fabrics from the young lady."
Mrs. Lei was puzzled: "Why didn't you investigate earlier or later, but now?"
"I heard that she was attending the eldest princess's full moon banquet, and then she found out that the eldest lady's clothes were not good."
The eldest princess’ full moon banquet?
This is a great opportunity to meet dignitaries!
Mrs. Lei called Lei Nan'er over and had someone measure her and make her a new dress.
He pulled Lei Nan'er and told her, "Your damn father locked up your mother, and he is the one who took you there this time.
The princess's full-month banquet was attended by high-ranking officials and royal relatives.
Our Nan'er must wear the best clothes to let them all see how noble the second young lady of our general's mansion is."
