Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 344 Xiaoduo Kaiyang Enters the Palace

The next morning, after the morning court session, Lord Wei arrived outside the palace gate and called out to the servants who were waiting not far away, asking if he had arrived yet.

The servant shook his head and said, "I have been waiting here. If you come, you will definitely see it."

What's going on? Although the delegation will arrive in about an hour, as an interpreter, I have to go to the palace in advance to wait.

It's always difficult to fix the time, it's never going to be just right. What if something happens on the way here and delays you?
Xiaoduo is a very reliable girl when it comes to big things. She won’t oversleep on such an important day today, right?

"Let's go back home." Lord Wei thought about it and felt that it would be safer for him to go back and bring the girl back personally.

Inside the palace, there were many civil and military officials attending court every day. Those who were nearby came in sedan chairs, and those who were far away naturally came in horse-drawn carriages. However, so many sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages certainly could not be parked outside the palace gate, but had to be parked not far away.

The servant trotted over to his own carriage and just as he was shouting at the driver to drive the carriage over and stop, Lord Wei was about to get on the carriage when the servant said sharply, "Sir, the young master's carriage is here. Do you want to ask?"

Young Master refers to Wei Zizheng, he is a seventh rank official and does not have to attend the morning court every day, but has to attend on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Watching his son's carriage getting closer and closer, and after it stopped, Lord Wei saw Kaiyang from the window and breathed a sigh of relief. Here he comes!

The carriage stopped and Wei Zizheng got off first. He looked a little bad. Not the kind of bad that came from being angry, but the kind that looked worried.

"Father." Wei Zizheng greeted his biological father.

"Can you relax a little? Kaiyang himself is not nervous, so what are you worried about? Are you afraid that Kaiyang will cause trouble and cause you to lose your official hat? Or are you afraid that our family will be exterminated?" Lord Wei couldn't help getting angry when he saw his son's expression.

Wei Zizheng, who was scolded twice early in the morning, felt very innocent. Kaiyang had been with Xiaoduo for less than a year, and before that he had always been led by that evil man to be a beggar.

He admitted that Xiaoduo had taught his son very well, but in terms of rules, there were still some shortcomings. It didn't matter in his own house, but when he came to the palace, he was not attending a palace banquet where he could relax, but attending a reception for foreign envoys!
It's not appropriate to bring a seven-year-old child to such an important occasion!

Thinking back to last night, when Xiaoduo told her father that she wanted to bring Kaiyang along, she said that she wanted to take Kaiyang to see the world, and her father actually agreed!

At that time, Wei Zizheng didn't know what to say, whether his father was too indulgent to Xiaoduo or too indulgent to Kaiyang.

It's a good thing for children to see the world, but it also depends on the occasion, right?

Officials below the seventh rank were not qualified to be present at an occasion like today, and she actually brought Kaiyang here!

"Father, son..."

"Get out of the way." Lord Wei interrupted his son with disdain and impatience. He looked at the two people who had just gotten off the carriage and immediately changed his expression and said with a smile, "Relax, there's no need to be nervous."

Wei Zizheng glanced at the two, one big and one small, and thought to himself, Father, which eye of yours saw how nervous they are?

Looking at their eyes and expressions, if you didn’t know, you would think they were just here shopping!
Although it was Kaiyang Xiao's first time to come to the palace, he was not nervous or anxious at all because the person who brought him here was Hong Xiaoduo.

No matter where he is, as long as she is there, he will feel at ease and no one can bully him because she will protect him.

Although his grandfather and father were both high-ranking officials, Kaiyang knew that when he was bullied or felt humiliated, his grandfather and father would protect him at all costs.

However, Kaiyang would worry whether they would be implicated.

His grandfather was a second-rank official, and there was a first-rank official above him who could suppress him, and above him was the emperor. His grandfather and father protected him, but they also had various concerns and couldn't let go. But his mother was different. She was the most powerful. When she encountered something, she was very simple and direct, and she just did it.

Moreover, from the time I followed her until now, it seems that there is nothing she can't solve.

Yesterday, my mother told him that the purpose of bringing him here today was not just to broaden his horizons.

The most important thing is that he learned foreign languages, and the arrival of the foreign delegation was a rare opportunity for him to put them into practice.

Mother said that whenever there is a chance, she would let him participate in the translation.

She also told him not to tell his family about his participation in the translation for the time being, saying that if they knew about it in advance, they would probably be worried.

Kaiyang also noticed his grandfather and father. When they heard that she was going to bring him along, they were indeed very surprised, especially his father. His brows immediately twisted so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

On the way to the palace this morning, my father was in the carriage, and he was worried about all kinds of instructions. Alas!
Kaiyang could understand his father's worries, but he couldn't refuse to come with him just to be filial and let his mother down.

You won’t go wrong if you listen to your mother!
Hong Xiaoduo got off the carriage, greeted Lord Wei, and then looked at the palace gate and the surrounding buildings.

At this time, after the morning court session and having breakfast outside, more and more officials returned. When they saw that there was a child and a handsome young man wearing an official robe on Lord Wei's side, they were all curious.

Someone simply greeted Lord Wei and walked towards the palace gate.

"Let's go in. Although the delegation hasn't arrived yet, we don't have to stand and wait. Let's go to the side hall and sit and wait." Lord Wei said to Hong Xiaoduo.

"Okay, Lord Wei, please go in first." Hong Xiaoduo politely and respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

Lord Wei held back his laughter and motioned for Hong Xiaoduo to go with him.

"Sir Wei, I am an ordinary commoner and hold no official position. It's fine for me to be outside, but it's inappropriate for me to walk side by side with you, a lord of the second rank, here, right?" Hong Xiaoduo joked in a low voice.

"But you are the most critical and important person today. It is acceptable for you to walk in front of me." Lord Wei knew that she was joking and responded with a deliberately stern face.

Kaiyang followed the two of them. Hearing what they said, he looked behind him at his father, wondering if it would be more appropriate for him to walk behind his father.

"Look straight ahead and walk carefully." Wei Zizheng whispered a reminder, and Kaiyang quickly gave up his plan.

As the group of four people, young and old, walked in, they were all very surprised when they saw something. Why did Lord Wei bring a child with him today?
There is a palace banquet this afternoon, but it is a banquet for foreign envoys, and the attendants are officials of the third rank and above!

"Hey, that young person next to Lord Wei, is she a woman?" Someone who was close by noticed it and asked the person next to him in a low voice.

The news spread one after another very quickly. Before they even reached the side hall, most officials knew that Lord Wei had brought a woman dressed as a man and a child with him today.

"Isn't this just nonsense? Even if you love your grandson who you finally found, you shouldn't have brought him into the palace today!"

"No way. Lord Wei is not the kind of person who would make trouble. Perhaps His Majesty has given permission."

"How is that possible? This isn't a palace banquet." People were talking all around...
