Chapter 497 Mother? How could it be you?
Chapter 497 Mother? How could it be you?
In fact, whether or not to make the decision is secondary. Yaliqi's main purpose is to find an excuse to go to the Yangxin Palace and meet the favored palace maid.
It is not convenient for her mother to enter the palace now. As her mother's only daughter, she always has to keep an eye on her to see what her opponent is like!
She deliberately swaggered into the Yangxin Palace with the tied-up nanny, looking very aggressive.
Fortunately, the ministers had all gone home from get off work, but the Fourth Master was still working overtime alone.
Of course, Su Peisheng didn't dare to stop his beloved daughter. Seeing her coming, he was so enthusiastic that he wanted to carry her inside.
The Fourth Master was at his desk handling government affairs. He looked up when he heard the noise and saw Yaliqi coming. He smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Father Emperor!" Yaliqi called out crisply, her eyes filled with grievance and resentment, "You must make the decision for your daughter!"
The Fourth Master frowned, put down the red pen in his hand, and sat up slightly.
His eyes fell on the bound maids and he said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Is there anyone in this palace who can offend Yaliqi?
Are you tired of living?!
Yaliqi pointed at the maids and said indignantly, "Father, ever since my daughter and sister entered the palace, these maids have been making things difficult for us."
"On a normal day, if something goes wrong, they will punish me. I've been punished by them several times and I have no words to express my suffering."
"My daughter has been unable to bear it any longer today, so she brought them here. I beg the Emperor to grant them justice."
The Fourth Master cast a cold glance at the maids, and the leading maid showed a hint of panic on her face.
But he still pretended to be calm and defended himself, "Your Majesty, we servants are acting according to the rules. We are doing this for the good of the princesses. We have no intention of making things difficult for you~"
Yaliqi snorted coldly, "According to the rules? What rules allow you to punish the princess at will?"
"If this is what you call a rule, then are these rules meant to teach the princess, or are they meant to satisfy your own selfish desires?"
When studying in the upper study room, even if the brothers made mistakes, it was their companions who would be punished.
I have never heard of punishing the master himself.
Why is it different when it comes to the princess?
The Fourth Master's eyes grew increasingly stern. He stared at the maids, his tone filled with unquestionable authority: "How dare you treat the princess like this?!"
"Su Peisheng! Go check it out. If it's really as the princess said, I will not let you off easily!"
"Your Majesty, please spare us. We have been following the rules..." After hearing what the Fourth Master said, the maids turned pale with fright and knelt down to beg for mercy.
This is the tradition in the palace, and they are not the only ones who do this. Why... why is it not allowed?
Seeing that the time was right, Yaliqi continued, "Father, I have something to ask of you."
"My daughter is now in the palace, and apart from learning those tedious rules every day, she has not made any other progress.
"I used to study with Brother Honghui and the others in the mansion. Now I want to study with them and broaden my horizons. I hope the Emperor will grant my permission."
When they were in the mansion, the Fourth Master had the final say. If he said his son and daughter should study together, then it would be fine.
But now in the palace, there are countless rules, and these are not things that can be easily changed.
The Fourth Master pondered for a moment, and that trace of hesitation disappeared when he saw Yaliqi's wet eyes.
Never mind, just do as she wishes.
As for those damn rules, let him, the father, abolish them.
"It's always a good thing to read more books. Go to the study with your sister tomorrow to study." The Fourth Master said as he turned his finger ring.
He had to find a way to make those people shut up...
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Yaliqi's eyes flashed with joy, and she quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the best!"
After settling the matter of the nanny and securing the opportunity to study in the upper study, she was still thinking about the favored palace maid.
Yaliqi's eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.
She ran up to the Fourth Master, took his arm affectionately, and started to act coquettishly.
"Father, I've been feeling really bad these past few days."
"I haven't seen you and mother since I entered the palace, and I always feel empty inside."
"Could my daughter stay in the Yangxin Palace today so that she can accompany you and talk to you more?"
When she was at home, she would also crawl onto Lin Mingyan's bed and sleep with her father and mother.
Although this is against the rules, they only have one precious daughter, so they made an exception.
Now she blinked her big watery eyes and looked at the Fourth Master pitifully, her voice soft and full of expectation.
The Fourth Master looked at Yaliqi's cute appearance, and knew what she was thinking.
I know that she is using the excuse of missing her father and mother, but in fact she is very curious about the favored palace maid in the rumors and wants to stay and find out.
He didn't point out her evil intentions, but watched Yaliqi hug him and act coquettishly. After a long time of persuasion, she finally gave in and let her stay.
The corners of the Fourth Master's mouth rose slightly, revealing a doting smile. He reached out and gently touched the tip of Yaliqi's nose, saying, "Well, since you want to stay, then go to the back hall. Father will be back soon."
When Yaliqi heard that the Fourth Master agreed, she was immediately overjoyed. Thinking that her little plan had succeeded, she walked towards the back hall happily.
Along the way, she was wondering what the palace maid looked like and what abilities she had that could make the emperor love her so much.
She walked into the back hall and saw the busy figure at a glance.
The moment she saw the man's face clearly, Yaliqi felt a buzzing in her head and was stunned.
She widened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly.
It took him a long time to find his voice again: "Uh... Mother? Why is it you?"
That’s not right. Shouldn’t mother be in the mansion?
Why are you here?
She rubbed her eyes, then opened them wide to look...
When Lin Mingyan heard the voice, she turned around and was slightly startled to see Yaliqi.
Then a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Ya'er, why did you come to the Yangxin Palace so late at night?"
Yaliqi's eyes turned red instantly, and the surprise and grievance in her heart surged up all at once.
She rushed to Lin Mingyan's arms in two steps, crying, "Mother, why are you working as a palace maid here? I thought... I thought another woman had snatched the emperor away~"
She has been feeling very upset these days and she wants to rush into the Yangxin Palace and beat up that vixen.
She didn't expect that this person was her mother!
As she thought about it, Yaliqi's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.
She hugged Lin Mingyan tightly, sobbing aggrievedly: "Mother, why didn't you tell me? You made me worry for so long."
Even more angry~~
