Harem for a living

Chapter 207

Back at Yongshou Palace, Chen Manrou asked someone to bring breakfast, and sent someone to wake Xiao Wu up by the way.When the Empress Dowager fell ill a few days ago, the greeting activities for the princesses and princes were cancelled, and Xiao Wu's only recipient of greetings was his own mother.Therefore, Chen Manrou felt sorry for her daughter, so she didn't want to wake her up in the morning, and sent someone to wake her up when it was time for breakfast.

When Xiao Wu came over, he was already much more awake, and as soon as he saw Chen Manrou, he rushed over: "Mother~"

"Good baby, did you sleep well last night?" Chen Manrou hugged Xiao Wu and kissed her, then put her on the chair, Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly: "Sleep well, mother, the emperor said he would bring me some fun For the gift, can I see the gift first?"

Chen Manrou paused, who agreed?
Looking at her daughter's anxious little eyes, Chen Manrou smiled first: "Don't worry about the gift, eat first, and when your brother comes back at noon, let's look at the gift together, okay?"

Xiao Wu thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, wait for my brother to come back and watch it with him. Queen Mother, my brother took me to the cat and dog room yesterday. I want to raise a puppy. One dog gave birth to four puppies. Baby, I want to raise a puppy baby."

"I can't raise it for the time being." Chen Manrou put the soup bowl in front of Xiao Wu, pointed at Xiao Ba who was lying on the couch and screaming: "Your brother is still young, if one of you doesn't pay attention, the puppy will catch you What about my younger brother's face? You can only raise puppies when your younger brother is two years old."

Xiao Wu pouted, looked at Chen Manrou, then looked at Xiao Ba's younger brother, in the end, the love for his younger brother prevailed, so he nodded and said, "Okay, when my younger brother is two years old, I will raise a puppy again." , The queen asked the people in the cat and dog room to watch over the puppy for me."

"Well, okay, the queen mother will give you an order later, let the people in the cat and dog room keep the puppy for you, and no one can take it away. If you want to see the baby dog, go to the cat and dog room to see it. You can take it to the Imperial Garden for a walk or two, but you can’t bring it to Yongshou Palace, you know?” Chen Manrou stuffed a flower roll into her mouth: “It’s time for breakfast, eat first, and talk about your dog after dinner Baby."

Although she can no longer raise the puppy herself, the queen mother has already promised herself to visit the puppy frequently, so Xiao Wu is still very happy. She nodded, chewed and swallowed the rolls in her mouth, and began to use her own dog in silence. breakfast.

Taking advantage of Xiao Wu not paying attention, Chen Manrou quickly gave Li Chun a flirt, Li Chun nodded slightly, and quietly left the door to do business.

When Xiao Si came back from school at noon, Xiao Wu immediately ran over and hugged Xiao Si's waist: "Brother, why did you come back? Just now, the queen mother said that she will wait for you to come back before showing me the gift. What presents are we bringing?"

Xiao Si was already looking like a grown-up, and he stretched out his hands to rub Xiao Wu's head: "Wouldn't you know when you see it? Be more patient, let's go, go into the house, and ask my brother to greet the mother. "

Xiao Wu pouted and nodded, followed Xiao Si into the room.Chen Manrou didn't wait for Xiaosi to finish his salute, she stretched out her hand to pull him up, first asked if she had eaten enough in the morning, and if she was hungry now, and then asked if she had studied hard in the Chongwen Museum, after a lot of questions, Xiao Wu Zao got impatient and dragged Li Xia out to play.

Only then did Chen Manrou ask seriously: "Little Si, what happened in the courtroom recently?"

Occasionally the emperor would talk to Xiaosi about things in the court, and Xiaosi's own attention gradually shifted from the harem to the court, so, regardless of Xiaosi's young age, she might know more than Chen Manrou many.

Seeing Chen Manrou's seriousness, Xiao Si was very surprised, touched his head, thought for a while before shaking his head and said: "No, the court has been very quiet recently, nothing happened, ah, by the way, there is one thing, which is to start Regarding the sea ban, the Japanese pirates were also beaten to the ground some time ago, and they did not dare to invade the coastal towns for more than half a year, so the father said a few words about reopening the sea ban."

Originally, the sea ban was opened, but later the emperor succeeded to the throne, external troubles and internal troubles, Japanese pirates Khitan swarmed, Ci Ning was still unstoppable, so the emperor had no choice but to ban the customs.Now that the coast has calmed down, the customs issue has naturally been brought up again.

"Really? What does that have to do with the Chen family?" Chen Manrou was a little puzzled, and Xiao Si was even more puzzled: "The queen mother has nothing to do with the Chen family. Why did you think of your grandmother's house? Is someone gossiping?"

"No, it's your father's attitude that is very strange." Chen Manrou frowned, and explained the different behavior of the emperor in the past two months: "If your father wants to set up a rake for someone, I haven't seen him being particularly fond of him." Who. Since it's not a matter of the harem, it may be a matter of the court, I didn't understand at first, but yesterday your father took me to the Chen family, for no reason, what did he go to the Chen family for?"

The corners of Xiaosi's mouth twitched. Although he was young, he had grown up listening to the harem situation. He naturally understood what the emperor's favor is to the harem women. His empress mother herself once said that the emperor's favor is the ultimate Unreliable.

However, at any rate, he is a smart boy, and he is a biological father and son with the emperor. Over the years, under the guidance of his mother's empress, he has paid close attention to his father and understands his temperament better.According to his observation, the royal father's appearance is clearly trying to curry favor with the queen mother.

Just like what I saw at my grandfather's house back then, when my great-grandmother was angry with my great-grandfather, my great-grandfather would do what he liked and please my great-grandmother.Although I don't know what my father did wrong, I can see the purpose of my father.

How pitiful, to be suspected by the queen mother.

However, he would not speak well of his father.Although I very much hope that the father and the emperor will love the queen the most, but children should not interfere in the affairs of adults.Moreover, the queen mother also said that the most unreliable thing in this world is the emperor's favor, and he didn't want the queen mother to be sad in the future.

"The queen mother was too worried. According to my son, it was probably because the queen mother suffered a catastrophe when she gave birth to the eighth younger brother. The emperor had been waiting outside the door that day. He must have known the pain of the mother's birth, so for a while, there was a little Have mercy on the queen mother."

Xiaosi made a decent analysis: "Mother, think about it, did the father change his attitude after the eighth younger brother was born?"

Chen Manrou calmed down and thought about it carefully. Sure enough, now that she found the reason, Chen Manrou breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to rub Xiao Si's head: "The queen mother understands, but Xiao Si understands."

Originally, the emperor was not a scumbag, he was a good man with the characteristics of ancient men, so it was normal to feel pity when he heard his wife's screams.I really think too much, I have lived in the palace for so many years, and I am really in trouble.

"Ma'am, the things have been brought here." Just as Chen Manrou let go of her heart, Lichun came over to report back. Chen Manrou breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked Xiao Wu to come over: "Little Wu, Your father has already sent someone to deliver the gift you want, come and see if you like it."

Xiao Wu was playing outside, when he heard Chen Manrou's words, he rushed in with a cheer.Lichun went out with a smile on his face, and soon came in with Xiao Xizi and Xiao Lezi, the two behind were still carrying a relatively large rattan box.

Lichun opened the box, and Xiao Wu couldn't wait to go over and look through it.There are Jiulianhuan, Huarongdao, Lubansuo, Kongmingsuo, jigsaw puzzles, small bronze figurines, dolls and other toys inside. A box is full, and there are thirty or forty toys in a rough count.

"Queen, I like this." Xiao Wu exclaimed while looking at it: "Hey, what is this, brother, let's play with this together, what does Xiao Ba like to play with? Is there any toy for Xiao Ba to play with? "

Chen Manrou was even more satisfied when she saw that she could still pay attention to her older brothers and younger brothers. She stretched out her hand to rub her head and said with a smile: "These toys were bought by the Queen Mother and the Emperor Father for you. You pick out a few for your older brothers and younger brothers." .”

After thinking about it, he explained: "There are also your second sister and brother, you must not forget them."

Xiao Wu was a little upset when she heard that she was going to give it to the second emperor brother and others, and Xiao Si hurriedly comforted her: "If you give them something, they will still give you a gift in return. You will not lose money. Besides, the queen mother said before , When you should be generous, you have to be generous, Second Emperor Brother and the others are also our brothers and sisters, so you naturally want to give them some gifts. Don’t you see that they also give you gifts during the holidays?”

"Okay then, well, this is for the second brother..." Xiao Wu lowered her head and picked and picked inside. Chen Manrou glanced at it and couldn't help laughing. The girl came out of her stomach, and she was better than anyone. They all know their own daughter, and the things she picked out are definitely not what she likes.

However, there is no need to expose such a small matter, and no one stipulates that gifts can only be given to one's favorite.Maybe, the second prince and the second princess just like it?

By the way, I have to teach my daughter the precautions for giving gifts later. When she grows up, she can't give gifts according to her own heart, she has to send them to other people's hearts.

"What is Xiao Wu doing?" Chen Manrou was planning her daughter's education, when she heard the emperor's voice at the door, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, the emperor seems to be coming too frequently recently.

"Father, Xiao Wu likes the gift you bought very much." Before Chen Manrou could reply, Xiao Wu rushed over, and Chen Manrou hurriedly winked at the emperor, so as not to miss the point.Fortunately, the emperor is smarter, only what Xiao Wu said made the emperor understand the situation in front of him.

"It's good that Xiao Wu likes it. Father also bought other things for Xiao Wu, and someone will send it to Xiao Wu later." The emperor smiled and patted Xiao Wu's head. He didn't agree at all when he went out to play yesterday Daughter's condition gives embarrassment to forget.

"Has the emperor eaten lunch?" Chen Manrou waited for him to finish talking with Xiao Wu before stepping forward to ask, her voice was gentle, with a smile on her face, and a touch of concern in her tone, as before, considerate and pleasant , very flattering.

However, in the eyes of the emperor, and compared with Chen Manrou's true temperament yesterday, she was a little unhappy, did she shrink back again?
Could it be that I did something wrong?Or, is it because my little wife misunderstood something?Thinking about it, the emperor couldn't help frowning. Chen Manrou, who was standing on the side, thought that the emperor was angry, and the smile on her face was a little cautious: "Your majesty?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Not yet, I happen to be eating at Rou'er's place, Rou'er won't despise me, right?" No matter what the reason is, he must not scare his little wife right now.

"It's too late for the emperor to be able to eat here." Chen Manrou hurriedly smiled, and turned to order someone to prepare lunch.

The emperor lowered his head to meet Xiao Si's eyes, um, sympathy?

Dazed for a moment, the emperor narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly laughed, this woman is really like a little rabbit, usually docile and docile, she looks very well-behaved and sensible, but when encountering something, she immediately shrinks back Now, even if the other party handed her a carrot, she felt that the carrot was not for eating, but for beating her up.

Forget it, for me to meet such a timid woman, at most I will have to work hard for the rest of my life.No matter what, she is already his wife.Life was pretty good before, but the lady's true emotions were less. In the future, I will not only protect her from any grievances, but also tease her to let her show some other emotions.

As for the fact that Little Rabbit doesn't believe in herself, hey, old couple, she doesn't believe that she can still fall into the sky?As long as she only sees herself in her eyes and heart, it will be fine.It is still very reasonable to see people's hearts over time.
