Chapter 121 Why is the reading companion so easy to deceive 20
The corner was already illuminated only by the residual candlelight, and with the addition of a screen, it seemed even darker.
Two half-grown children were squeezed in, very close to each other.
Su Muyou could feel the people around him having their air pressure lower because of his dodging, but at this moment he could only pretend that he didn't notice.
He just wanted to give up, since he is rather slow anyway!
The awkward atmosphere in the little corner did not last long, and soon, their attention was attracted by the conversation between the emperor and the queen outside.
"No matter what others say, Your Majesty should know my temper very well." Ji Yinan raised her eyebrows, hinting at something. The situation suddenly became tense. She continued, "However, I am quite tempted by the idea of changing my study partner."
"I have inquired before this. The only person who is of similar age to Jue'er and has extraordinary talent and learning is either the third son of the Right Prime Minister or the only son of the Grand Tutor."
"I'm not picky. I'll choose one of the two. Your Majesty, which one do you think is more suitable?"
Compared with the emperor who had just delivered a long speech, his momentum was even more aggressive.
As soon as he finished speaking, the only adult male in the room, who had been feeling happy because he had squeezed someone out, suddenly came to an end.
The Right Prime Minister has considerable influence in the court. He is second only to the emperor and holds real power.
The Taifu has many students all over the world. Looking around, there are countless children from prominent families who are his students and enjoy a great reputation.
Out of old friendship, no matter what his official position is, we have to give him some face.
No matter which of these two options you choose, you can get great help.
This was obviously not what the emperor wanted to see, and was contrary to his original intention.
He cursed inwardly: She is asking for too much, what a greedy and vicious woman!
Su Muyu in the corner also heard these words, lowered his head, and looked as if he was hit hard.
After staying in the palace for so long, he is no longer the person who had only a vague understanding of official duties.
The two choices mentioned by the Queen are indeed much better than him.
Even though I know that this conversation is mixed with acting and traps, what if the emperor really agrees?
In that case, what should he do?
Lu Yanchen noticed the uneasiness of his little study partner, pursed his lips, forced himself to turn his head away from him, and did nothing.
He is still sulking. No one needs his comfort anyway!
Outside, Ji Yinan, unaware that her son was getting angry unilaterally, remained calm.
Seeing that the emperor's face was livid and he didn't speak for a long time, he thought that he didn't hear clearly, so he said again, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you pick one for me?"
His voice softened, which was unusual for him, and he spoke slowly and leisurely.
But the sense of urgency is overwhelming.
"The Grand Tutor is my teacher, and the Right Prime Minister is my right-hand man. It is reasonable that I should discuss this matter with them before making a decision." The emperor suppressed his anger, looked helpless, and said in a high-sounding manner, "You are a mother, you can understand the reluctance, right?"
The more Ji Yinan wanted it, and the more he was willing to lower himself for it, the less likely he would give in to the other party!
No matter how you think about it, you can tell that this woman has big ambitions.
When Ji Yinan heard this sentence which was equivalent to a polite refusal, she was not surprised at all, as she had expected this scene to happen.
In the eyes of the old loach, any benefit the mother and daughter gained was like scraping flesh off his body alive, causing him pain and discomfort.
'Snapped. '
She threw the book in her hand onto the table, making a rather jarring sound.
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to lobby them. Apart from the two of them, I don't care about the others." At the same time, her softened voice became cold again, "The emperor and the empress are one. If I lose face again, Your Majesty will also lose face. What do you think, yes or no?"
She told the other party directly that there were some things that she could only tolerate once.
The emperor felt like a thorn in the side under Ji Yinan's sharp gaze.
Her attitude was so stubborn that it was hard to recommend other candidates.
He said vaguely, "Of course. Speaking of which, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't stay here."
Ji Yinan had no intention of getting up to see him off, "Madam Qiu, please see the emperor off."
"I obey your command." Aunt Qiu bowed to her first, then looked at the emperor with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, please."
The bright yellow figure stayed in Fengqi Palace for less than an incense stick of time before leaving in a hurry.
He took big steps, fearing that the person behind him would stop him and make unreasonable demands again.
Ji Yinan looked out from the window, and waited vigilantly for Aunt Qiu to return. Then he raised his voice to the corner and said, "You can come out now."
He adjusted the fox fur coat he was wearing and took out the two homework books underneath.
Su Muyu and Lu Yanchen were reminded and then walked out from behind the screen.
"Empress." The little reading companion called out hesitantly, but didn't know what to say.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Ji Yinan knew that the child was frightened by the content of the conversation, so she waved at him and motioned him to come closer.
Su Muyou did as he was told.
Ji Yinan reached out and held the child's hand, with a kind expression, "Do you know why I chose those two as my study partners?"
"Because..." Su Muyou did not think twice and did not face it, but thought seriously, "The Right Prime Minister has power, and the Grand Tutor has a reputation. They can both help the Third Prince."
Lu Yanchen is also the third prince on the surface.
However, he didn't pay attention to their conversation and felt a little depressed.
The person that the little tutor is truly loyal to is not the brothers at all, but their mother, right?
Looking at the difference in attitude, it’s really easy to think more!
Lu Yanchen's eyes became a little vague and he began to lose focus.
If this is really the case, it is not surprising.
After all, the queen mother was really good to the little study companion, and it was no exaggeration to say that she treated him as an adopted son.
"That's right." Ji Yinan was quite satisfied with the answer given by the little tutor. "That's why the emperor will definitely not agree."
She could guess the emperor's thoughts with her toes.
"So, you said that on purpose?" Su Muyu raised his eyes to look at her, and it was as if the clouds had cleared and the sun had appeared, and the haze had dissipated.
Although this thought was a bit selfish, his tone inevitably carried the joy of not being abandoned.
