The group's favorite little Fubao has become the most arrogant kid in the whole imperial city

Chapter 120 Ten Years Later

Ten years later.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Censor said that if you don't take care of the little princess, they will file a petition."

"Your Highness, something has happened! The little princess has lifted Lord Ming's official hat and thrown it into the stinking ditch!"

"Oh no, Your Highness! The little princess is instigating the wife of Marquis Jingyuan to divorce her husband! Marquis Jingyuan is so angry that he wants to bang his head against the wall!"

"Your Highness! Something happened!"

"Your Highness..."

Zhao Chengning broke the third pen this month. He took several deep breaths and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He roared, "Zhao Xihe, get in here!"

The servant beside him couldn't help but tremble. There was only one person in the world who could force Zhao Chengning to swear.

A little head popped out from outside the study, "Big brother, I didn't do it on purpose."

Ten years later, Xihe had grown into a graceful young girl. When she didn't speak, she was very dignified, but when she spoke, she would most likely make people angry to death.

"Tell me yourself! How many times has this month been this? Look at all these memorials impeaching you. There's almost no place to put them!"

Six years ago, when Zhao Chengning was just 20 years old, Emperor Jingyuan issued an imperial decree to make him the crown prince and live in the Eastern Palace. Emperor Jingyuan and the Censorate fought in the court every day, and later he was too lazy to see anyone. Except for Zhou Bing's memorial, all other memorials from the Censorate were sent to the Eastern Palace, and half of them were about Xihe.

"You can't blame me for this. I have my reasons. Big brother, you can't wrongly accuse me like this." After Xihe grew up, she became more beautiful and charming, and her every frown and smile was charming and lovely.

"You've made Marquis Jingyuan bang his head against the wall, how can anything good come of it?" Zhao Chengning didn't know why his sister was getting more and more arrogant as she grew older, and she was almost invincible in the imperial city.

"He was the one who wanted to bang his head against the wall. I didn't touch him." Xihe casually picked up a copy of the memorials from the stack that were criticizing her, and started laughing as she read through them.

This censor has a really vicious tongue, no wonder he was thrown to the Eastern Palace by Emperor Jingyuan.

"Then why did he go and bang his head against the wall?"

"Because I asked his wife to divorce him."

"..."

Zhao Chengning pinched his brows with a headache, "Ancestor, why did you ask my wife to divorce her husband for no reason?"

"Because Marquis Jingyuan wanted to take a concubine without telling my wife, my wife was very angry, so I asked her to divorce him." As she spoke, Xihe took a small snack in front of Zhao Chengning. "Then he said something about a weak husband and wanted to bang his head against the wall. I thought he was right, so I didn't stop him. It seemed that a lot of blood was shed."

"..."

Zhao Chengning almost laughed out of anger, and asked through gritted teeth, "Then why did you lift Lord Ming's official hat again? I remember you haven't even met him, let alone have any grudge against him."

"There is indeed no grudge." Xihe took a bite of the new snack and it was so unpalatable that she almost vomited it out. She took another bite and put it back in front of Zhao Chengning.

"so?"

"I'm just helping him fulfill his promise." Xihe sat down on the side as if he were at home. "Three days ago, Lord Ming said in the gambling house that if he lost, he would no longer be an official."

"He lost?"

Mr. Ming was the new top scholar a few years ago. He is talented, but he loves to gamble, and he always likes to gamble big.

"Yes, but this man doesn't keep his word, so this princess will enforce justice on the side of heaven and take off his official hat!" Once Xihe became energetic, she acted like a female hero in the martial arts world.

Zhao Chengning held his forehead helplessly and said, "You have such a big mouth that you can even bring a dead person back to life." Xihe secretly stuck out her tongue, looking fearless.

Zhao Chengning took a memorial book and read it, leaving Xihe tinkering with this and that.

"Xihe, you will move back to Fuhua Palace after a while."

Although Xihe was already sixteen years old, she did not set up a residence and was unwilling to move to other palaces. Concubine Chen was reluctant to leave her precious daughter, so she continued to live in Fuhua Palace.

Last month, Xihe committed a terrible crime and fled to the East Palace in disgrace to seek refuge.

"Do you dislike me?" Xihe immediately protested with her hands on her hips, as if she would rush up and beat you up if you dared to say "yes".

"Not really." Zhao Chengning glanced at the memorial beside him, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that Jin Yuan and I will be heading to the border in a few days."

"Border?" Xihe said seriously, "Isn't there an aunt at the border?"

Zhao Chengning glanced at it, with a little sadness on his face, "There's news from the border. Beili and Beimo have joined forces to disrupt the border. In a small-scale war, my aunt... disappeared. And the leader is... the ninth prince Xiao Mingxuan."

Hearing that name again after many years, Xihe thought she would be calm, but at that moment it seemed as if the whole world was quiet, with only the sound of the wind remaining in her ears, which lasted for a long time.

A year ago, the nineteen-year-old Xiao Mingxuan was pardoned by Emperor Jingyuan and returned to Beili. Xihe rushed to see him off, but found that the house was already empty.

Now if you calculate it now, they haven't seen each other for ten years.

"Oh." After the initial beating, there was a calm without any waves. Xihe said slowly: "Didn't they find my aunt?"

Xihe never mentioned Xiao Mingxuan, as if this person did not exist. Zhao Chengning also did not mention it again. "No, it's just that someone nearby said that they saw my aunt in a border town, but they haven't found her yet. My father asked me to go there just to find my aunt."

Xihe was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Big brother, take me with you, I think I can find my aunt."

After ten years of nurturing, he had made some small achievements in both space and medical skills. Although they were not the pinnacle, they were also unique.

"No." Zhao Chengning refused without even raising her head. "Don't even think about it. Why would a girl like you go to the border? The emperor will be the first one to disagree. Be careful, he will break your legs."

Xihe knew that Zhao Chengning's approach was not feasible, so he shut up.

Zhao Chengning breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengning's breath of relief did not last long before it was raised again. After marching ten kilometers, he dug out a Xihe with dust on its face from the kitchen.

"Big brother~"

Zhao Chengning: “…”

He knows it!

Xihe stood in the center, glanced up quietly, and when he saw Zhao Chengning's gloomy face, he lowered his head again.

"Big brother, just let me follow you."

"No!" Zhao Chengning always felt that he would be pissed off to death by this stinky girl one day. "When did you catch up with me? Do father and mother know? There are only men in this military camp. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? How dare you hang around in there? Where's your brain?"

Xihe didn't dare to breathe, and whispered: "I followed from the beginning, and father and mother didn't know."

Hearing this, Zhao Chengning almost fainted from anger. He wondered if Emperor Jingyuan would kill him after he returned. "Go change your clothes right now! I'll send someone to take you back to the imperial city!"

"Brother! Please."

"Not negotiable!"
