When Emperor Xuande heard someone approaching, he waved away the guards and attendants.
So at this moment, only Danyang and him were in this small teahouse separated by a bamboo curtain.
Danyang's scalp felt tense involuntarily when he faced a gaze so close to him that was as sharp as a bone-picking knife.
Fortunately, after being tempered in her previous life, her face was quite obedient.
While continuing to hold on to the nonchalant smile on his face, Danyang walked freely to the opposite side of Emperor Xuande.
After sitting down leisurely, she poured herself a cup of tea and said with unbridled excitement:
"Did you see it? I think it's quite interesting sometimes when a fox pretends to be a tiger, hehe..."
Danyang spoke so frankly that Emperor Xuande felt uncomfortable.
And after half a day, especially with the little pink ball-like figure standing in front of him, no matter how angry he was, he had long since dissipated.
However, Emperor Xuande couldn't help but sigh again when he thought of his third son.
The third child is the one who looks more pleasing to the eye. The key is that he once personally praised that bastard in front of the ministers and workers for having the same demeanor as he did when he was a child!
Who would have thought that today I would see my silly son being fooled around by a little girl who has not yet had haircuts...
This feeling in my heart, hey, it’s really unforgettable.
Fortunately, the girl who made that stupid son look embarrassed was Danyang, his doting daughter, so he felt better.
But for a while, this face was a bit hard to lose.
"Hmm, you want to just put it off? Let's be honest. The "business" you volunteered to do is to help the latecomer, divert your attention and delay time to help him escape?"
Danyang was exposed and had no choice but to smile, silently acquiescing.
"Who is that person?"
Danyang knew that she couldn't hide it, and neither she nor Han Qinglan, who was too lazy to cover her face, wanted to hide it.
Therefore, when asked, simply tell the truth:
"Han Qinglan, seems to be an official of the Treasury Department? I just met Danyang two days ago."
Seeing Danyang's attitude, Emperor Xuande finally nodded with satisfaction and his expression improved.
"Whose idea was this incident today?"
After Danyang showed a little hesitation, Emperor Xuande spoke again and added:
"Don't be shy. If you still think that young man is good and don't want him to be sent to the Meridian Gate at such an age."
Danyang tilted his head for a moment when he heard this. After blinking, he suddenly smiled and said:
"My uncle is wise and mighty. You shouldn't mind listening to me tell you the whole story before deciding who should be responsible?"
As she spoke, she looked towards the opposite side with an innocent face.
Although Emperor Xuande's face was still dark and his cheeks were still holding back, he had already calmed down and didn't mind hearing when he was tricked by the little girl in front of him.
But he looked very much like a big white rabbit with a weird temper that Danyang once raised.
Especially the bulging cheeks and the trembling beard.
When Danyang saw this, he knew that the emperor's uncle was not that angry, and he couldn't hold it back for a moment, so he burst into laughter.
After being glared at again, she immediately coughed hard and assumed that the other party had silently acquiesced before continuing the conversation.
She simply pretended that she had specially come to Dongjie Temple two days ago, pretending that she was worried about her mother's safety and came to offer incense and to take back a maid from her residence who was skilled in martial arts.
After that, he combined the incident of breaking into Lixiang Garden with what Han Qinglan saw when he was sent back later, and compiled it into his own adventure.
The entire narrative is seamless. And she had already spent the entire night last night, repeating it countless times. It has reached this moment when the words are spoken, and no matter the tone or demeanor, it is no different from improvising.
After Emperor Xuande listened silently, he raised his eyes and squinted at the person in front of him, almost grinding his teeth and said:
"That is to say, you girl came into the palace yesterday just to invite your uncle into this situation?"
Very good, this girl is really more and more cunning, and she really plotted against him!
In anger and sadness, Emperor Xuande really didn't care that much about how Danyang got to know the boy who suddenly appeared.
Danyang was immediately keenly aware of his uncle's rare and extremely hidden mood swings, and immediately clarified:
"Uncle, please don't be angry! Danyang didn't have time to think about it that much at that time. He just felt that something was strange, and he heard from General Han, who was here as a guest, that the prince was personally arrested by the Third Highness and taken to Zongzheng Temple."
"So, why don't you just tell your uncle?"
If Danyang was still the little girl she used to be, if she did find something strange, especially if it was such a major matter that she could only ask Emperor Xuande to deal with, she would definitely go straight to the imperial study room without hesitation and tell her directly.
When Emperor Xuande asked this question, even though Danyang did not raise his eyes, he was keenly aware that the eyes of the person opposite him had become sharp again.
Just because that feeling of tightness all over her body and fried scalp returned to her body.
However, she only continued to use a slightly embarrassed tone and said matter-of-factly:
"Who said it? Danyang climbed over the wall privately and ran to Lixiang Garden. If my mother found out, I would not be able to run away after eating fried meat on a bamboo board."
At the end of the sentence, Danyang suddenly raised his head, stuck out his tongue, smiled coquettishly at Emperor Xuande, and added:
"Uncle must promise Danyang that he will never tell mother what happened in the past few days."
Emperor Xuande looked at Danyang seriously for a moment, then withdrew his scrutiny, snorted unhappily and said:
"This is all about you."
When Danyang heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the test was over for the time being.
At the same time, a sincere and bright smile appeared on his face, and he said sincerely:
"Thank you uncle!"
Emperor Xuande waved his hand in displeasure and hummed:
"Don't thank me in a hurry, your work is not over yet."
The moment Danyang heard this, he was really stunned. Isn't it over yet?
The frightened look on her face instantly made Emperor Xuande unbearable. The black face couldn't handle it anymore, so he softened his attitude first and added half-coaxing and half-explaining.
"It's nothing else. You girl likes to speak up, and you are also worried about the third child bullying that little bun. So, I plan to issue an imperial edict when I return to the palace and let him go to your house for dinner. Save the money and leave it at Zongzheng Temple. , don’t worry, what kind of trouble will you cause to me again!”
When he first heard Emperor Xuande say "little bun", Danyang almost didn't realize that he was referring to Prince Anyang.
But as the emperor's uncle spoke the second half of his sentence, she knew it without guessing. At the same time, I remembered that jokes about Prince Anyang are sometimes mentioned by people in the royal family.
At this moment, Danyang really couldn't laugh or cry.
Why did she let this hot potato fall into her own hands? !
But now that things have come to this, there is nothing that can be done.
Her uncle even used "I" when the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty spoke, and his words were ironclad.
Therefore, after Anyang accepted his fate, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"... Danyang will take the order. But you, your revenge is too difficult for me. How can I explain to my mother?"
Seeing Emperor Xuande refilling tea for himself and her with a smile, Danyang knew that it was useless to be miserable now. Her uncle's excitement is a must-see.
Sighing in her heart, she immediately changed her mood.
Don't sigh for the predicament, but make arrangements quickly, so as to make the best use of everything.
When she put on her sweet smile again, she turned to Emperor Xuande and said:
"Uncle, for the sake of Danyang being so happy. And now I have to be annoyed by a lot of people when I go back to the palace. Why don't you come with me?"
