The Ancient Growth Diary of a Little Zombie

Chapter 228 Are you a corrupt official?

Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and shout it again.

"Xuan Sang Shishi and others are here to see you~~"

......

In the side hall next to it, a young eunuch, about twelve or thirteen years old, was so anxious that he was about to cry.

And what about Shishi and the others?

It was impossible to let Shishi stand outside the hall and wait. It was obvious that Huo Lingxing had thought of this at the beginning.

So as soon as they entered the palace, they were placed in a side hall and served with delicious food and drink.

In fact, when the emperor asked about Huo Lingxing earlier, the young eunuch knew that the time was almost up, so he led Shi Shi and others to wait outside the Golden Palace.

Unfortunately, the young eunuch had a stomachache and went to the toilet, but thinking that there was nothing else to do afterwards, he squatted there for a little longer.

The corpses waiting outside the hall waited for a long time, but saw that the quarrel was still going on inside, and there was no intention of asking them to come in.

So he rolled his eyes speechlessly, and swaggered back to the side hall with his parents and brother to catch up on his sleep.

Xiao Wang and his wife were afraid to sleep, but they had just arrived in the capital yesterday and got up too early today. They were still very tense and fell asleep while sitting.

When the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict shouted it for the fifth time, the expressions of the ministers in the hall became strange. The emperor sitting on the dragon throne had a gloomy face and glared at Huo Lingxing angrily.

Huo Lingxing was so nervous that he was thinking about whether to find an excuse to go out and take a look when someone finally arrived.

Everyone in the hall saw a man and a woman walking in slowly and tremblingly from outside. One of them was holding a boy and the other was holding a girl.

The relaxation of the two siblings, Shishi, is incredible. Their snores can even reach the throne room.

The couple was at their wit's end as they couldn't even cry because these two naughty kids wouldn't wake up no matter how hard they called them!

Seeing that the young eunuch was crying in panic, they had no choice but to bring him in directly.

The emperor was already somewhat displeased because they had not come despite being informed several times, and when he saw their attitude, his narrow eyes became even colder.

He leaned lazily on the dragon chair, his sharp eyes shot straight at the Shishi family, with a majestic look.

Below the platform, there was complete silence except for the couple who were still struggling to move.

It was at this moment that Shishi woke up. She was no longer as drowsy as when she just woke up, and her almond-shaped eyes were exceptionally clear.

After the corpse came to Daxia, because of the love of his family and his own abilities, he went from being a frightened bird to feeling safe. So now, as long as he doesn't sense any danger, he won't wake up no matter what happens.

But just now, the corpse sensed a long-lost dangerous aura.

Shi Shi did not struggle to get down, but raised his eyes and met the emperor's gaze on the platform.

There were no sparks flying, no tit-for-tat.

When the emperor and the little girl looked at each other, they were even stunned for a moment. What kind of eyes were those?

The eyes of a child of eight or nine years old are as calm as an ancient well, but beneath that calmness seems to be hidden a deep abyss.

But when I looked again, I felt that everything just now was an illusion.

It is clearly the innocence and purity of a child. Those watery almond-shaped eyes seem to speak when they blink, and one can know what they want to express at a glance.

Its owner seemed to be saying: Do you want to be beaten?

The emperor was frightened by what he interpreted and had no choice but to look away.

At this time, under Huo Lingxing's crazy suggestion, the Wang couple walked to the place he designated in fear and trepidation.

"I, a commoner, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

The couple knelt down together, shouted tremblingly, and then lowered their heads, looking terrified.

The ministers looked at the couple kneeling on the ground and trembling, and then looked at the little girl who had woken up at some point and was standing upright. For a moment, they didn't know how to evaluate this family.

"You ignorant boy, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to His Majesty when you see him?"

Before the eunuch Sun beside the emperor could say anything to reprimand him, someone else jumped out impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Shishi glanced at the white-bearded old man who spoke, but said nothing and did not kneel.

As time went by, Shishi's brain grew bigger and he understood more and more. He knew that this place was different from the previous world and was more like the ones in ancient costume TV dramas.

So the corpse thought that they knelt all the time, which might be the custom here. The corpse didn't understand it but respected it.

As for this bad habit, Shisi had no intention of adapting to the local customs this time. After all, she had no memories of being here before she was eight years old, and most of her thoughts and ideas were still stuck in her previous life.

In the education that Shisi received, not only boys' knees are golden, but girls' knees are as well. Kneeling to anyone except one's own elders is a shameful thing.

The old man with white beard was the Grand Tutor, and he had a good relationship with the Huo family father and son. He had seen the little girl standing there stupidly, and was afraid that her recklessness would anger the emperor, which could have been a great achievement, so he kindly stepped forward to give her some advice.

Who would have thought that the other person would not appreciate it at all.

When Huo Lingxing saw this situation, he felt numb all over and blinked wildly at his superior brother.

Big brother! Don’t mess with her!!!

"Ahem, Your Majesty, I'm sure this woman is seeing you for the first time and is so stunned by your majestic appearance that she's been unable to recover for a moment."

I didn’t understand Huo Lingxing’s flattery, but I did understand it because it was the first time I saw it.

Shishi's young face was full of seriousness as he nodded in approval.

It was indeed the first time I saw a real living emperor.

Seeing the little girl nod, the emperor's expression eased a little, and Huo Lingxing was so moved that he burst into tears.

"Miss Sang, have you come to your senses? Aren't you still polite?"

The right prime minister stepped out with a smile, as if giving a kind reminder.

When Shisi saw his big round belly, two words immediately appeared in his mind.

Corrupt official!

Fat head, big ears, big belly, he must be a corrupt official!

Shishi didn't reply to the Right Prime Minister's words, but looked at him with sparkling eyes and a sincere face, and asked:

“Are you a corrupt official?”

......

When Shishi said this, Huo Lingxing and the emperor almost laughed out loud.

The other ministers all gasped.

How dare this girl!

"How dare you! You daring and unruly people, stop your lies!"

The right prime minister's fat face turned ashen, he pointed at the corpse and shouted angrily, then with a mournful face, he knelt down in front of the emperor with a thud.

"Your Majesty~~

You know that I have been working diligently for decades and would never dare to do such a thing as favoritism and abuse of power!

Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!!!"

His words made the officials present twitch their lips unconsciously.

Huo Lingxing resisted the urge to vomit blood and racked his brains to think of how to smooth things over.

He bowed to the emperor and didn't have time to think about it before he started to make up a story.

"Your Majesty, Miss Sang did not mean to offend, but the Right Prime Minister looks a little too similar to the previous corrupt official in their county.

His family was deeply persecuted by him, so whenever Miss Sang saw someone who looked like him, she would mistake him for him."

Additional notes:

Shishi still has the mindset of a modern child and has no memories or experiences of growing up in ancient times.

Therefore, just because you travel back to ancient times, you will not become as mature as children of the same age in ancient times. All changes require time to happen slowly.
