Chapter 119: It's called a white lie
At dusk, the afterglow of the remnant sun sprinkled on the villa, as if dressed in a golden glow. Yingyun's jade table in the courtyard was full of all kinds of pastries and fruits, lying comfortably on the rocking chair, eating melon seeds, and waiting for the fifth elder brother Yongqi.
After a while, Wushun shouted at the door: "Fifth brother has arrived!" ”
Yingyun hurriedly dusted off the melon seed shell on her body, got up eagerly to greet her, and beckoned Yongqi to her.
"The retainers greet the emperor." Yongqi saluted respectfully.
Yingyun still remembers that last year, about this time, she rescued Yongqi who fell into the water from the imperial pool, and now it is only a year, and his height is so fast that he has exceeded her shoulders.
"Yongqi, get up quickly, you don't have to be polite here," Ying Yun smiled and took him into a seat, pointed to the food on the table, and said: "Huang Eniang doesn't know what you like to eat, so let the dining room prepare a lot, you can see what you like to eat, and the emperor will send you more to sleep on another day." ”
Yongqi is only ten years old, but he has a calmness and wisdom beyond his peers, and he tilted his head and asked, "The emperor summoned her sons, but there is something to order?" ”
Ying Yun looked at his inquisitive appearance, the shrewdness between his eyebrows was like that of an emperor, even if he was still a child, but when he looked at him, there was a trace of timidity in his heart.
"Yongqi, you eat first, the matter of the emperor's mother, let's talk about it slowly." Yingyun politely picked a piece of walnut cake for him.
Yongqi took the pastry, slowly brought it to his mouth, and before he could take a bite, he put it down again, and said: "Huang Eniang, you should tell your son something first, otherwise, your son will eat Huang Eniang's things, but he can't do Huang Eniang's business, and Erchen will feel ashamed." ”
Ying Yun thought to herself, he and the emperor were really father and son, and even their thinking patterns were exactly the same. When dealing with them, you can't be tough, you can only play the emotional card.
After thinking about it, Yingyun had no choice but to say with a sad face: "Then the emperor's mother will tell you directly." You should also know that since Huang Eniang became pregnant, she couldn't eat or sleep well, and she was pregnant for ten months, which was very hard. But in the past few days, the scholars of the palace have left too much homework for Huang Eniang, and Huang Eniang really can't cope with it, so, Yongqi, can you do Huang Eniang a small favor? ”
Yongqi frowned, got up and replied: "Taifu taught his sons that honesty is the foundation of human beings, and it is not easy for sons and daughters to be sympathetic to the emperor's mother, but the sons and daughters can't cheat for the emperor's mother and deceive the scholars. ”
Ying Yun hurriedly coaxed: "How can it be a deception?" It's called a white lie! Do you think, you have completed your schoolwork for Huang Eniang, and Huang Eniang can rest in peace, and the scholars will feel relieved when they see that their schoolwork is completed on schedule, isn't this the best of both worlds? ”
"This ......" Yongqi frowned in embarrassment, thought for a while, and still said: "No, Erchen still can't do this, if the emperor has nothing else to do, Erchen will retire first." ”
Want to smear the soles of your feet and slide away?
Yingyun was willing to let him go, grabbed his arm, and said in a solemn manner: "Yongqi, Taifu didn't teach you, the grace of dripping water, do you want to repay the spring?" Have you forgotten that the emperor gave up her life to save you? I won't even help with such a little favor, okay, you go, you go, just let the emperor fend for herself......."
Yongqi looked up at Yingyun, whose eyes were about to cry, and finally nodded unbearably, and said, "That'...... All right. ”
