The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Three days later, at the training ground.

At three quarters past the hour of Mao, the rain had not yet dissipated and flags were fluttering in the parade grounds.

Su Rou was wearing silver armor and a red tassel, standing beside the command platform. The morning light shone a spot of cinnabar on her forehead, as if it had been quenched by fire.

After being harassed by Gong Yu for three days, she had almost lost all her energy.

But Gong Yu standing aside was different.

A look of satisfaction!

Eat her for three days.

How could I not be satisfied?

As if noticing Su Rou's gaze, Gong Yu also looked over.

Su Rou glared at him fiercely.

Gong Yu didn't care and smiled at her.

"Third brother will definitely win the championship, don't worry."

What she was worried about was not Su Chi's ability.

As for the military generals of the Southern Kingdom, Gong Yuanzhi was defeated by her father in the past, not to mention that the person now is her third brother.

Su Rou said, "I'm not worried about my third brother. I just feel that today is really lively. Yoyo is a little happy."

The drums beat three times, and the army fell silent.

Only a soft "Ah——" came from her arms.

The couple looked in the direction of the sound and saw Naigaozi sitting obediently in Su Rou's arms, like a rag doll.

The voice was soft and sweet, yet it made all the generals bow their heads.

One-year-old Gong Youyou sat on her lap, wearing a small tiger-head hat with two golden-embroidered whiskers on the end that trembled in the wind.

Su Rou lowered her head and pinched her cheeks, "Hey, dear, your uncle is downstairs, come and see with your mother?"

The young emperor personally led the army to review the troops in the parade ground today, but in fact he was secretly checking the abilities of a group of military generals in the Southern Kingdom.

Not long after the new emperor took office, he always wanted to find out the abilities of the military generals in the court.

He got down from the imperial carriage, wearing a black robe and a golden crown, and a dagger given to him by Su Rou in the past was worn around his waist.

All the ministers were cheering "Long live the emperor", but he saw the small shadow of a milk, turned around suddenly and walked straight forward.

"Master." The young emperor stopped three steps in front of Su Rou, his eyes reflecting the morning light. "Is this my junior sister?"

Su Rou smiled and said, "Isn't it cute?"

The little emperor reached out and hugged Youyou.

The child was not shy and grabbed the twelve tassels hanging from his waist with his little hands, giggling.

The emperor's tassels were torn into a mess, but his smile was brighter than the pearls and jade, "The little thing is not shy at all."

Su Rou said, "Is your dress newly made? It's really beautiful. Don't let her get it dirty."

The little emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I never care about these things."

The drums stopped beating for a moment, and the wind blew the flags away.

Su Rou raised her eyes and saw a beautiful figure slowly walking down the imperial carriage.

The favorite concubine Qiao Wan wore a crimson gauze palace skirt, and the golden hairpins on her temples rustled.

There was a smile on the corners of his lips, but there was ice in his eyes.

Qiao Wan was a relative of the Empress Dowager. After entering the palace for three months, she was granted the title of Imperial Concubine and given the name "Zhao".

Rumor has it that she once tasted medicine for the little emperor in the middle of the night, and her lips were stained with poison, but she remained calm.

The young emperor was touched by her sincerity and gave her exclusive favor.

But at this moment, the young emperor was holding the child with his back to her, like a mountain, blocking the wind outside.

Qiao Wan curled her fingertips tightly in her sleeves.

Although I slept with him.

But she never conceived a dragon heir.

Now, His Majesty is so fond of other people's children...

His face remained gentle as he spoke, "Your Majesty, the wind is strong, don't let the little girl catch a cold."

The little emperor didn't notice anything unusual and just said, "Tell the clothing shop to send the second princess a new cloak."

Qiao Wan was stunned.

She had heard about Su Rou's affairs before.

but……

Your Majesty actually values ​​Su Rou's child more than your own flesh and blood?

If he was holding a boy in his arms, it would be fine.

They are both girls, but the favoritism is so obvious.

"Your Majesty, the Second Princess's clothes were all specially made by the palace embroiderers. If you give them to her like this, it will make the Second Princess's biological mother unhappy."

The little emperor said, "If you are not happy, then you are not happy."

He turned to look at the eunuch beside him, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up."

Eunuch Chang nodded in agreement, turned around and left quickly.

Su Rou stretched out her hand, "I want to..."

Before she could finish her words, Gong Yu covered her mouth.

Little Emperor: “?”

Su Rou: “?”

Gong Yu said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take a seat."

Looking around.

All the civil and military officials in the audience were still kneeling.

None of them dared to stand up until the little emperor took his seat.

The little emperor responded, "Oh, I forgot. My dear ministers, please stand up."

Su Rou lowered her eyes and slightly retracted her white hands under the silver armor.

What is Gong Yu going to do?

Gong Yu saw that the little emperor's attention was distracted by Yoyo.

Only then did he let go of Su Rou's mouth.

He lowered his voice and said, "What do you want? Madam, just ask me. It's a bit against the rules to ask His Majesty directly."

Rules are dead.

Su Rou never follows the rules.

but……

Gong Yu's words made her realize that what she had just said was indeed ill-considered.

"I was wrong. I forgot about this. I just wanted a few clothes. The embroiderers in the palace have excellent craftsmanship, unlike those in the shops in the city. That's why I thought..."

She observed Gong Yu's expression.

Gong Yu seemed to be a little angry.

He said, "If you like, I will ask His Majesty for a privilege. Apart from Your Majesty, only the concubines in the harem can have clothes made for them."

Su Rou nodded obediently.

She heard Qiao Wan's laughter becoming softer, but it was like a very thin blade, passing by her earlobe.

After the first drum beat, the generals retreated to the sides.

The young emperor wanted to take Youyou up on stage, but Qiao Wan suddenly held out her hand: "Let me hold you. Your Majesty still needs to perform the ceremony."

The moment the child was handed over, Su Rou's eyebrows jumped.

Why do you feel like this person isn't a good person?

She saw Qiao Wan's nails, three inches long, dyed scarlet from Impatiens flowers, like plum petals plucked from the snow, but too sharp.

Yoyo fell into Qiao Wan's arms. She was stunned for a moment, then her little mouth pouted and she cried out "wow".

The crying was so clear and crisp that it startled the crows.

Qiao Wan's arms trembled, as if she couldn't hold the child anymore, and she stuffed the child straight into Su Rou's arms. The force was so great that the child's sleeves rolled up, revealing a white and tender part of his body.

"Your Highness, please don't cry. Don't disturb His Majesty." Qiao Wan's voice trembled, but she looked up at the little emperor with a delicate gaze. "Your Highness, I am incompetent."

Su Rou hugged her daughter, her palm covering her forearm, and her fingertips touched a sudden dent.

On the soft and tender skin, the crescents pinched by fingernails had seeped blood, reflecting a scarlet color.

Her chest felt like it was being hit by a drumstick.

"Oh, oh, baby, mother is here." She patted the child's back, her voice low and hoarse, but she raised her eyes, her gaze passing straight through Qiao Wan and falling on the little emperor's face.

The young emperor's brows sank.

He reached out, wanting to look at the child again, but Qiao Wan stepped aside, blocking his view. Her voice choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, I was just worried that the child might lose his composure, so I was too heavy-handed..."

"Heavy hand?" The little emperor laughed, but his smile was cold. "When I held her, she laughed happily."

Qiao Wan knelt down, her palace skirt spread out like a crimson flower, her shoulders trembling slightly, "I acknowledge my guilt."

The wind suddenly stopped and the flags fell.

Su Rou held the child tightly in one arm, her back straight, and took a step closer to Qiao Wan. "Improper conduct in front of the emperor? Why does our Su family's child need an outsider like you to criticize him? Besides, even if it's impolite, it's your fault. What does it have to do with my Youyou?"

Qiao Wan was left speechless by Su Rou's words and had to find another way to say it. "So what if you are His Majesty's teacher? In the court, you must bow respectfully and call me Your Majesty when you see me."

Qiao Wan knew that Su Rou was appointed as the Grand Tutor.

But she is currently enjoying the emperor's favor, so why should she care about the mood of a mere tutor?

Su Rou had a scar on her face, but Qiao Wan was not worried that the young emperor would be attracted to such a woman.

The fear is that Su Rou will use the child to please the emperor.

Qiao Wan ignored him and wanted to save face by relying on her status.

Her family background is not necessarily any worse than the Su family.

It is not certain that the emperor would offend the entire family behind him for Su Rou.

What's more, the Su family is not as good as before.

Su Rou raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that Qiao Wan was unreasonable!

Just because you have the Queen Mother's support, you can bully a child like this?!

Su Rou stuffed Youyou into Gong Yu's hand and rolled up her sleeves. "What a queen! You pinched my daughter. If you don't want me to chop your hands off, I'll beat you in front of all the civil and military officials. Who dares to stop me, your father or the queen mother?"
