The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

With Xiao Haizhou around, Prince Ning's wife couldn't do anything to Zhao Mianmian.

Xiao Haizhou just glanced at Su Ruoyao coldly and confirmed Zhao Mianmian's "identity", making Su Ruoyao wary of this wild girl who came out of nowhere.

After everyone left, Su Ruoyao looked at the adult and the child who left together, gritted her teeth, and showed a sinister look.

"Xiao Haizhou, you are amazing!!"

**

Zhao Mianmian was gone for about half an hour, and no one knew where she went.

When Qin Shuyu came back after making a round of greetings, she was already sitting behind He Xulan with a well-behaved look on her face, as if nothing had happened.

[Anchor, the way you lick your ass is really ugly. ]

[My dear son, your fathers raised you with every coin, hoping that you would show them how to behave. But you kneel down and call someone your dad? ? ]

[The key point, host, it's fine if you call someone "Dad", but that's Xiao Haizhou, the Xiao Taifu who is in charge of 30,000 Xuanlin Guards! You recognize the thief as your father, do you want to anger your fathers to death? ]

[Uh, it’s not as serious as you guys say. Actually, I quite like watching this plot.]

[Go away, little kid, we are just scolding our older son, just stay away.]

【…】

Zhao Mianmian also knew that she looked a little ugly when she was kneeling and licking Xiao Haizhou just now, but the way the Crown Prince's wife looked at her was as if she was looking at a dead person. Apart from clinging to Xiao Haizhou's thigh, she had no other choice.

You can't let her hug the Crown Prince's wife's thigh while shouting "You have to do good deeds for the child in your belly".

In that case, Su Ruoyao wouldn't even have to do anything, Xiao Haizhou would be the first to arrest her as an alien.

Compared to face, of course, staying alive is more important!!

Zhao Mianmian has become thick-skinned now. She ignores the teasing in the comments and acts as if nothing happened.

She believed that as long as Prince Ning's Consort did not tell anyone about what happened today, no fourth person would know about it.

But what Zhao Mianmian didn't know was that before Princess Jingyang's birthday banquet was over, almost everyone knew that their Grand Tutor, Lord Xiao, who was second only to the emperor, actually had an illegitimate child.

And this illegitimate child was actually raised in the home of a minister in the court! !

"Oh, your gossip is really new. How old is Master Xiao? How come he has an illegitimate child?"

After learning the lesson just now, Zhao Mianmian followed Qin Shuyu and He Xulan closely, not daring to leave their sight at all.

She heard a group of women next door gossiping about Xiao Haizhou, and quickly pricked up her ears.

"I heard that he is already in his twenties. Ordinary people at his age would have already married and maybe even had children. So it's not surprising that Master Xiao has an illegitimate child!"

"That's true, but I wonder what the woman who has the ability to bear a child for Xiao Haizhou looks like. If she can catch the eye of Master Xiao, she must be a stunning beauty!"

"Oh, I don't think so! I heard that the child is raised in the capital, in the home of a fourth-rank official. I don't think he stole someone's wife and got cuckolded..."

"Hey, look at your mouth, why do you say everything? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?"

"Oh, so many people are talking about it. Besides, it's not me who spread the gossip. I just heard it from the Prime Minister's wife."

"Madam Prime Minister, this gossip is definitely not groundless..."

Hearing this, Zhao Mianmian trembled the corners of his mouth and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

She secretly glanced at Qin Shuyu's face and saw that her aunt looked normal and didn't look like she knew anything. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Zhao Mianmian:

[Woo woo woo, who taught you to spread gossip like this! It's so scary, okay! ! ]

The barrage of comments [hahaha] sent her two words:

【Deserved】

It is not a happy thing to have the melon eaten by your own head. Zhao Mianmian just listened to a few words and couldn't continue.

Just in time for the palace to deliver the gift to Princess Jingyang, she hurriedly caught up with Qin Shuyu and everyone else and went to the courtyard outside to listen to the emperor's orders.

The little emperor of Tianying is only eight years old this year, about the same age as He Shiyi, but he is the only son of the late emperor.

After the death of the previous emperor, he naturally inherited the throne and became one of the youngest emperors in Tianying's history.

Although he ascended to the supreme throne, the young emperor's throne was not stable.

Apart from the fact that Prince Ning was eyeing him covetously from the sidelines, the fundamental problem lay in his background.

Because Liang Yuansheng was not the son of Empress Dowager Xiao.

In fact, he was not born from any concubine in the harem!!!

Liang Yuansheng's biological mother was a palace maid serving tea in the harem. After one night of affection from the emperor, she became pregnant.

Logically, with her identity as a palace maid, Liang Yuansheng should not have come into this world at all. However, the late emperor had few children, so she was allowed to stay as an exception.

Although he was allowed to stay, Liang Yuansheng was taken to Chunhe Palace as soon as he was born and raised under the name of Xiao Rui, who was the queen at the time.

There is intrigue and power struggle in the harem, and there are many gossips. The young emperor may not be unaware of his own life experience, but judging from his performance over the years, he is still loyal to the Xiao family.

As for the future, no one can predict.

The decree of reward was two feet long and was first read in the front yard. Then the eunuch who announced the decree brought a gift to Princess Jingyang and read it again in the inner yard.

A group of people knelt in the yard and listened for a whole incense stick of time before they finished listening, which was enough to show how much the young emperor valued Prince Ning.

The one who came to announce the decree was Eunuch Sun from the palace. After reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Sun rolled up the two-foot-long yellow scroll and said to Princess Jingyang with a smile:

"His Majesty has attached great importance to the princess' birthday. He has sent people to find this spiritual beast that can speak human language and raise it in the palace, waiting for the princess' birthday to be given to her as a gift!"

After saying this, the eunuch pointed to the cage covered with black cloth in the yard and asked Liang Yufu:

"My Lord, would you like to open it and take a look?"

The gift sent from the palace was a huge honor for both Ning Wang Mansion and Liang Yufu herself.

Liang Yufu was only twelve years old, so she walked forward happily and lifted the black cloth covering the cage in front of everyone.

The black cloth was lifted to reveal a colorful little animal in a gold wire cage.

The little beast looked like a fox but not a fox, and like a leopard but not a leopard. It had two furry ears but no tail, and everyone who saw it was amazed.

Only the audience in the live broadcast room was speechless for a while:

【…】

[No way, we listened to all this nonsense, and this is it? ]

[Hehe, is this the so-called spirit beast that can speak human language? ? As expected, the saying "long hair but short knowledge" is absolutely correct. ]

[If you ask me, either the little emperor was fooled by his subordinates, or he wanted to disgust Prince Ning. Isn't it a bad omen to give such a thing in public? ? ]

Zhao Mianmian hid behind the crowd, secretly glanced at the "fox" in the cage, and asked the public screen in confusion:

[Ah? Is there something wrong with this Cai Ling? ]

The barrage replied to her mercilessly:

[What's so colorful and what's so spiritual about it? It's just a fox without a tail and dyed. If it could speak human language, I would perform a handstand and eat shit on the spot.]

[Ah, cutting off the fox's tail is fine, but dyeing it? ? Can it survive for a week? ]

[A week? You're overthinking it. Look at the fox's listless appearance. Do you believe it? It will die in three days? ]

Zhao Mianmian:
