Transmigrating into a short-lived cannon fodder, she beat the son of destiny to pieces

Chapter 25: The Infatuated Emperor and His Love-Brained Concubine (24)

On the way back to the cold palace.

Liuliu nestled in Sui Ning's arms and said angrily, "Ning Ning, you asked me to lure the emperor here, but who knew that even when the old emperor showed up, it was all talk and no action!"

"He just let them go so easily! After all, Xiao Huai is still his son!"

Sui Ning smoothed down Liuliu's fur. "This is how the emperor behaves. The royal authority forces Xiao Yan to make a statement about what happened today. Otherwise, who will take the royal family seriously in the future?"

"A small punishment would make everyone understand that the royal family's reputation cannot be trampled upon, and it would also prevent the emperor and his subjects from becoming alienated. Why didn't Xiao Yan do it?"

Sui Ning was not at all surprised that Xiao Yan would do this.

Liu Liu felt his mind was a mess, "Humans are so complicated!"

Sui Ning: "But fortunately, Xiao Huai did not gain nothing from this matter. He knew that he felt guilty towards Xiao Huai, so he took Xiao Huai out of the cold palace early, which was exactly what we wanted."

When they returned to the cold palace, they saw Fuquan chatting and laughing with the eunuch chief, Eunuch Wang, as soon as they entered the room.

That bitter face now smiled so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his ears.

In addition, there were palace servants who came back and forth to help move things.

Seeing Xiao Huai, Fuquan's eyes were slightly red, and he cried with joy, "Your Highness, you have finally made it through."

"Even if the Empress is still alive and seeing this, she should rest in peace."

Xiao Huai's expression softened as he consoled her, "This is a happy occasion. Eunuch Fu, please stop crying. We will be better in the future."

They said they were packing up, but the two of them had been in the cold palace for many years without enough food or warm clothes, so they really didn't have any practical things.

But when moving things, Fuquan hugged this and touched that, and was reluctant to throw anything away.

In the end, Xiao Huai waved his hand and moved all the things into Yongning Palace.

After Yongning Palace was tidied up inside and out, Eunuch Wang stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Yongning Palace is now fully furnished. I still have to serve the Emperor, so I'll take my leave now."

Sui Ning took a bag of silver and stuffed it into Eunuch Wang's hands, "You have worked hard today, Eunuch. This is just a small token of my respect."

Eunuch Wang's eyes were filled with smiles as he said, "Miss Sui Ning, you are too polite. This is my duty."

Then Eunuch Wang assigned a few palace maids and eunuchs to Xiao Huai and left with his men.

"Do you feel wronged today?" Sui Ning asked.

Xiao Huai understood what Sui Ning meant and shook his head, "I don't care. On the contrary, I'm very happy today. From now on, we have our own home."

He didn't care about the slander others spread against him, nor did he care about the emperor's injustice, just as he didn't care about those irrelevant people.

Just because they are all outsiders.

When Sui Ning saw Xiao Huai's sparkling eyes, she realized that Xiao Huai seemed so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

Just then, someone came from outside to report that Concubine De wanted to see them.

Sui Ning rubbed Xiao Huai's soft hair and said, "Go ahead. Eunuch Fu and I will be waiting for you in Yongning Palace."

Xiao Huai nodded seriously and left with the palace maid.

In Jianjia Palace, Concubine De leaned against the main seat and asked casually, "Do you blame me for not helping you today?"

Xiao Huai remained respectful, "Your Majesty is just being prudent and protecting yourself. Xiao Huai doesn't blame you."

Xiao Huai said this from the bottom of his heart. There were many people in the palace who took advantage of others' misfortunes, but it was much better than Concubine De just standing by and watching.

The smile on Concubine De's face didn't reach her eyes. "You are a capable person. Now that you have escaped from the cold palace with your own ability, there is naturally no need for me to recommend you. What I said before seems superfluous."

Defei's words were full of temptation.

She also wanted to see what choice Xiao Huai would make now that he had come out of the cold palace.

Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, and replied calmly, "What happened today was purely coincidental. Your Majesty was willing to give me a chance before, and I am still grateful for your kindness."

Coincidence? God really favors Xiao Huai!

But he is a sensible person.

Thinking of this, a sincere smile appeared on Concubine De's face.

"To talk about kindness is a bit too formal. You and Lin'er hit it off right away, like you were my own child. Lin'er is a bit dull, and I'll need your help with his studies in the future."

Hearing the music, he knew the elegant intention. Since Concubine De had extended an olive branch, Xiao Huai naturally followed suit.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. My little brother is simple and honest, and he is very lovable. This is just a small favor from me."

Yongning Palace.

After moving to a new home, Fuquan happily directed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate.

Xiao Huai asked everyone else to leave, and then invited everyone to take their seats as usual.

Sui Ning and Liu Liu didn't think there was anything wrong, but Fu Quan on the side was determined not to do it.

"Your Highness, this is no longer the cold palace. We must abide by the rules. Otherwise, if others see us, they might plot against you behind your back."

Xiao Huai frowned, he naturally understood the reason behind this.

Now that he had just come out of the cold palace, he should indeed tone down his edge, but he didn't like this approach.

Seeing this, Sui Ning couldn't help but sigh in her heart, he is still an eight-year-old child after all.

So he said, "Let's put this aside for now, as we've just left the cold palace. We'll discuss this tomorrow. I believe even the Emperor won't say anything."

Eunuch Fu then sat down at the table and said, "For this happy occasion today, I have specially requested a pot of fine wine from the imperial kitchen. Let's drink to our heart's content tonight!"

"It's just that Your Highness is still young and not fit to drink alcohol. You should drink tea instead. I and Miss Sui Ning will serve you the wine."

Xiao Huai: ...

So bring the wine over and let him take a look?

Worried that Sui Ning couldn't drink enough, Xiao Huai only poured a little into Sui Ning's glass, "Sister, don't drink too much."

"Yeah, just a little drink."

Come to think of it, she had never tasted the fine wine of the mortal world.

Seeing Liuliu and Eunuch Fu drinking happily beside me, I thought the drink wouldn't be that bad either.

However, after the wine entered his throat, Sui Ning only felt it was very spicy at first, but then even his head began to feel dizzy.

Seeing Sui Ning's face flushed, Xiao Huai asked worriedly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

After calling out several times, Sui Ning didn't respond.

Just as he was about to ask Fuquan, he found out that he was drunk and crying loudly, "Wuwuwu----, Your Majesty, where are you? Your Highness and I have been through such a hard time!"

Xiao Huai: ...

And Liuliu on the other side can't be relied upon at all.

I don’t know if it was because he was too drunk, but he actually started to use his claws to pull the cat hair off his body!

"Oh!" Xiao Huai sighed helplessly.

He was just about to help Sui Ning go back to her room to rest, but at this moment Sui Ning slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Huai with squinted eyes.

Then, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Huai's fair face, shouting, "Who are you, you evil monster! You actually pretended to be a child... to deceive me!"

Xiao Huai was not angry when his face was pulled. Instead, he smiled and said, "Sister, I am not a monster, I am Xiao Huai."

Sui Ning pinched Xiao Huai's face again. It was surprisingly soft and felt good. "This time you're pretending... quite realistic. Your face is still quite tender..."

Hearing this, Xiao Huai's lips curled up slightly, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on his fair and tender face.

His voice was small and weak, with a slight nasal tone, "As long as sister stays with Xiao Huai, if sister likes to be pinched, Xiao Huai can keep pinching sister."

After these few months, Xiao Huai is no longer the skinny guy he used to be.

She has a slightly round face, which is soft, elastic and white, and a pair of black eyes that twinkle, making her look particularly bright and lively.

At this moment, her little face was flushed because of shyness, and her long eyelashes were like two rows of brushes, sweeping up and down, which made her look particularly cute.

Looking at the particularly eye-catching face in front of her, Sui Ning gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think that I will let you go just because you have a cute appearance!"
