Chapter 42 Zhao Xihe, get back here!
Out of sight, out of mind. Emperor Jingyuan resigned himself to his fate and took two gulps of hot tea, but ended up choking himself.

Seeing that the imperial physician was finally leaving, Emperor Jingyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Xihe seemed to wake up from a dream, and looked around and said, "Uncle Imperial Physician, remember to boil the medicine! You need to do it every day!"

The smile on Emperor Jingyuan's lips froze as he looked at the little girl in his arms.

Xihe was not affected at all, and said seriously: "Xihe will come to accompany Dad to drink medicine at this time every day from now on."

"Why?" Emperor Jingyuan's expression had changed from surprise at the beginning to astonishment, shock, numbness and helplessness.

The little girl stood on Emperor Jingyuan and whispered in his ear, "What if Daddy secretly poured out the medicine?"

Xihe laughed like a fox and rolled around in Emperor Jingyuan’s arms!

Emperor Jingyuan: “…”

He actually intended to do so.

His precious daughter must have become a spirit.

Sanping was the closest and heard it clearly, but he tried very hard not to laugh.

One thing brings down another thing.

Your Majesty has met his nemesis!
The sudden heavy breathing of the three people below reminded Emperor Jingyuan of an unfinished matter.

Emperor Jingyuan looked at the wife of Marquis Xining calmly, his eyes full of coldness, "Sanping, go and tell Marquis Xining that if his family is not at peace, he should not come to court. When he has dealt with his own affairs, I will allow him to come to court."

Hit the snake seven inches.

Whether Marquis Xining can attend court depends entirely on Emperor Jingyuan's decision.

If he fails to deal with the evil that is the wife of Marquis Xining, he will have to stay in the mansion as a useless person for the rest of his life.

The wife of Marquis Xining looked as pale as death. This decree was apparently to punish Marquis Xining, but secretly it allowed Marquis Xining to take action against her.

If the home is not peaceful, then what kind of home is considered peaceful? Will the Marquis of Xining divorce her to appease the anger of Emperor Jingyuan?
When Yun thought of the concubines in the mansion who were eyeing her covetously, she felt a chill in her heart.

Emperor Jingyuan clearly did not want to give this face to the Yun family or the Queen Mother.

For a moment, Yun felt as if the sky had fallen down, and she showed no sign of resistance when being dragged away by the palace servants.

Ping'er seemed to know that she could not leave the Xining Marquis Mansion, so she followed Li Xihong obediently, supporting Li Xihong, who had both hands broken, and slowly walked out.

Don't be afraid. So what if the wife of Marquis Xining passes away? So what if Li Xihong is not the crown prince? As long as the child in her belly is still there, the Li family will recognize her, and her wealth and glory will remain.

Zhao Wanyu suddenly looked up and looked at Ping'er's belly with a smile.

Ping'er covered her stomach and quickly hid backwards to avoid Zhao Wanyu's gaze.

This woman's eyes were so terrifying. I felt that in her eyes, everything I did was exposed.

Li Xihong couldn't stand it, so he hid his concubine behind him, and felt more confident. "You can't give birth, and you can't be jealous of Ping'er's child!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wanyu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing out loud. His laughter became louder and louder, and his body shook violently. "Are you jealous of her? Li Xihong, are you mentally ill? Do you really think you are a piece of cake?"

Li Xihong's face turned red, and he even wanted to tear Zhao Wanyu apart.

Zhao Wanyu laughed enough before asking, "How many months?"

Ping'er didn't know what the other party was going to do, so she just said what she had prepared, "It's been three months, Princess, don't be sad, Honglang didn't mean it, he still loves you in his heart, he..."

"Stop!" Zhao Wanyu suddenly interrupted the other party, too lazy to listen to the other party's singing and acting.

Ping'er had no choice but to shut up in disappointment.

"Three months?" Zhao Wanyu suddenly remembered something interesting, and his eyes finally stopped at Li Xihong, "Then do you know that the person you are talking about is infertile?"

Not long after the marriage, Li Xihong fell ill. Zhao Wanyu was suspicious at the time and found a trusted doctor to check on him. It turned out that Li Xihong's body had been hollowed out due to years of frequenting brothels and he could not have children at all.

As for what's in Ping'er's belly...

It's so interesting.

Li Xihong was petrified on the ground, looking at Ping'er in disbelief, "This is impossible! This is impossible!"

Ping'er was horrified, holding her stomach and taking two steps back in fear, she refused to let go, "Your Highness, I know I am of humble status, but you can't frame me like this!"

Zhao Wanyu took a sip of tea, without any intention of defending himself, and waved his hand, "Frame you? Are you worthy? Or do you have confidence in Li Xihong and think that I will frame you for him?"

As if she had heard something funny, Zhao Wanyu chuckled softly, "Come on, him? I think he's dirty."

Emperor Jingyuan was annoyed, so he drove away the people from the Xining Marquis' Mansion, and then let the three children go, leaving only Princess Yuanyang inside to talk.

*
Although he said he would not read, Xihe still crammed for a while before the exam.

On the day of the annual examination, Tutor Li was finally no longer blind. His eyes, as sharp as torches, moved back and forth. Xihe couldn't even peek at them, so she had to sharpen them herself.

Seeing that New Year's Eve was approaching and the former court was extremely busy, Xihe still reported to Yuanyang Palace on time every day and watched Emperor Jingyuan drink his medicine.

"Daddy, here I come again!"

After three days of exams, Xihe felt as if all the yang energy in his body had been sucked away. His soft face flattened, his eyes were dull, and he spoke weakly, looking like a ghost possessed by a ghost.

Emperor Jingyuan was busy for most of the day, and his daily happiness came from this.

"It's just an annual exam, is it that serious?"

For Emperor Jingyuan, the annual examination was nothing, it could be accomplished with a hand, so why did he torture his little darling like this?
"As for that!" Xihe fed Emperor Jingyuan a candy as usual, then lay weakly in his arms, sighing, "Fortunately, the exam is over."

Emperor Jingyuan took a bowl of goat milk and fed it to his little daughter spoon by spoon. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Yes, the exam is over. Daddy is waiting for our Xihe's results!"

Emperor Jingyuan was already prepared. As soon as Xihe's results came out, he would present them to the court and let that group of people see what it means to be extremely smart!

Xihe choked on a mouthful of milk and dared not look directly into Emperor Jingyuan's eyes.

Come on, her essay was written entirely in nonsense format!
Emperor Jingyuan was still immersed in his own fantasy and did not notice that the little daughter in his arms looked deathly pale.

"Dad, well, big brother said he would take me out to play. I'm going to go find big brother first!"

Xihe was about to run out of Emperor Jingyuan's arms, but was unexpectedly grabbed back by Emperor Jingyuan.

"Don't worry, in half an hour your brothers and sisters will be here."

Emperor Jingyuan did not take his little daughter's words to heart, and turned around and brought another plate of snacks.

"Ah?" Xihe pursed her lips, her eyes twitching, as if she was about to cry in the next second, "Why are they all here?"

Sanping stepped forward at the right time and said, "Princess, the National Academy sent someone to report this morning that the exam papers for the previous two days have been corrected, and today's exam papers will be out around this afternoon. His Majesty summons all the princes to Yuanyang Palace to assess their homework every year. This is a custom."

Two lines of tears flowed from Xihe's heart.

What are you doing so actively?

She just finished the exam!
At least let me have a good new year!
Everyone came together, and Xihe finally met the legendary fifth prince Zhao Zize.

As expected, he was as gloomy and listless as the legend said. Apart from the initial greetings, he just sat in the corner without saying a word.

Zhao Zizhe was playing with the jade pendant around his waist, his eyelids drooping, his eyes full of impatience and boredom.

Xihe looked at Zhao Zize's legs hidden under the blanket and pursed her lips.

Perhaps it was because Xihe's gaze was too hot, Zhao Zize couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. When he met the other party's slightly compassionate gaze, Zhao Zize's face suddenly darkened.

Oh, here comes another one.

They all put on sympathetic faces, but who knows in their hearts they were laughing at him and calling him a useless person.

Suddenly meeting those eyes, Xihe was startled by the sinister look in Zhao Zize's eyes. It seemed as if a layer of thunderclouds covered his eyes, the wind passed, the thunder suddenly woke up, but under the turbulent surface was a pool of stagnant water, as if not a ripple could be stirred.

Zhao Zize sneered in his heart and was about to turn his head when his eyes inadvertently swept across Emperor Jingyuan. There was a hint of obvious hatred in his dark eyes, and he quickly turned his eyes away.

Emperor Jingyuan had lunch with the children, and soon Sanping came to report.

"Your Majesty, the people from the National Academy have arrived and are here to deliver the examination papers to your highnesses."

Emperor Jingyuan became interested and waved his hand to have it brought in, looking eager to try it out. "Quick! Bring it in!"

As soon as he got it, Emperor Jingyuan began to look for his little daughter's test paper, but was suddenly stopped by a small hand.

Xihe smiled, "Dad! Big brother goes first, I'm the youngest, I'll go last, okay?"

Since she has to die sooner or later, she chooses to die later.

Living a little longer is a little longer!

Emperor Jingyuan did not suspect anything, so he stopped and started looking at the first picture. "Okay, then Cheng Ning goes first."

Emperor Jingyuan evaluated the performance of each prince one by one in order and asked questions about their weaknesses, and even Zhao Zize was no exception.

Xihe was holding a piece of cake, hesitating. Half an hour had passed, and she hadn't finished eating the cake yet.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Xihe's turn.

Emperor Jingyuan first looked at the test papers on military strategy and policy essays, and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of his baby! Really smart! A genius!
Although the brushwork is a bit immature, it already shows its sharpness.

Emperor Jingyuan wanted to hold a court meeting immediately and let Sanping take his precious daughter's paper to show it to the ministers in turn!
Show off well!

"Not bad!"

Emperor Jingyuan turned around to look for the essay paper. The words of praise that were about to come out of his mouth were suddenly choked, and the hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

Everyone was confused by the ever-changing expression of Emperor Jingyuan.

Could it be that my younger sister's essay was so well written that father was too happy?
Emperor Jingyuan looked at the paper in front of him and almost choked on his breath. His head was dizzy. The moment the dizziness disappeared, Emperor Jingyuan's anger reached its peak.

Just when he was about to look for someone, he found that his arms were empty. A little girl moved forward quietly, and just as her hand touched the door bolt, she heard a loud shout behind her.

"Zhao Xihe, get back here!"

Emperor Jingyuan was so angry that he even forgot to use his own name.

Xihe: “!!!”

Three words came to my mind.

Ruined!
Emperor Jingyuan wanted to curse when he saw the poem on the test paper. If the handwriting was not the same, he would have suspected that someone had replaced his youngest daughter's test paper.

This difference is too big.

Xihe turned around and showed a flattering smile, "Dad, don't be angry, I didn't mean it."

I really can’t learn it.

"you shut up!"

Xihe immediately shut his mouth and stood there obediently.

Emperor Jingyuan took out a stick from some corner and walked towards Xihe.

I rely on!

Xihe was horrified and quickly hid behind his royal brothers.

"Daddy, I was wrong. I shouldn't have written that!" Xihe cried with tears and snot, looking so miserable. His small body hid as nimbly as a fish.

"Shut up! Look at what you wrote!" Emperor Jingyuan just wanted to give his little daughter a complete childhood, so he had to catch the man. "You call that nonsense? You wrote it with your feet!"

The princes: "..."

Sanping: “…”

You heard that right.

Your Majesty is swearing!

As the eldest brother, Zhao Chengning had to protect his sister from being caught and at the same time be on guard against any mishaps by Emperor Jingyuan. He was truly overwhelmed.

"Father! Don't be angry, sit down and talk slowly!"

Zhao Siyuan was completely confused, not knowing how a good evaluation could turn into a big battle.

Emperor Jingyuan had amazing fighting power. Despite Zhao Chengning's attempt to stop him, he still almost caught the slippery Xihe.

Xihe cried even more sadly and pulled Zhao Zhinan over to use him as a shield.

"Dad! A gentleman should use his mouth instead of his fists! Even if you are a villain, you can't do that!"

After these words were spoken, Emperor Jingyuan almost fainted from anger.

good good!
He is not even a gentleman, he has directly become a villain!
Zhao Siyuan quickly stepped forward and covered the stupid girl's mouth, gritting his teeth and saying, "Ancestor, please shut up!"

Emperor Jingyuan felt a headache when he thought of the test paper. He made up his mind and reached out to spank Xihe.

Unexpectedly, the little girl dodged like a loach, and the slap fell on Zhao Zhinan, who was caught in the crossfire.

Emperor Jingyuan did not hold back, and Zhao Zhinan immediately let out a terrifying cry of pain!

"Father! You hit the wrong person!"

Emperor Jingyuan: “…”

Damn, I want to hit someone even more!

One person was chasing, the other was running, and the entire Yuanyang Palace was in chaos.

Emperor Jingyuan's fighting ability was amazing. Xihe turned around and hid behind the fifth prince's wheelchair.

Being attacked from both sides, Zhao Zize's expression was stiff and he didn't move for a long time.

When Emperor Jingyuan met the Fifth Prince's eyes, they miraculously stopped, examined him for a moment, and then looked away.

The hope that slightly welled up in Zhao Zize's eyes disappeared completely in an instant, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

After all these years, what are you still expecting? How stupid!

Emperor Jingyuan sighed, dragged out Xihe who was hiding in the back, and gave her a good beating.

The little girl cried out of breath, "Daddy, I was wrong, wuwuwu, please don't hit me! I won't dare to do it again!"

Emperor Jingyuan glanced at him and said, "You don't want to learn from the good things, but learn from the third brother, who admits his mistakes quickly."

The little girl opened her eyes with her hands and said, "I didn't follow my third brother. He went to a brothel... what's that? I didn't go there. I'm a good kid."

Zhao Zhinan, who was lying down and was shot, spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, I haven't been there recently!"

Xihe blinked and asked back: "So... you were piao?"

Zhao Zhinan: “…”

That's not the case.
