Chapter 155 The Little Transparent in the Princess and Prince Consort Story (2)
Emperor Zhaohui did not show any disgust. He took off the purse from his waist and replaced it with the one given by his daughter.
The artist has almost finished the painting at this point, and only needs a few touch-ups to complete it.
Emperor Zhaohui and the fifth princess Li Handan both saw the painting "Flower Festival Fun" and were very satisfied with it.
Emperor Zhaohui particularly liked this picture, in which his daughter’s smiling face looked extremely festive.
"Master Yan, after this work is completed, please have it framed properly. I want to collect it." Emperor Zhaohui ordered.
"This is a great honor for me." Painter Yan quickly bowed to the emperor to express his gratitude.
"Once you've finished painting, you can leave!" Emperor Zhaohui waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
The painter put away his tools and walked out with the painting he had just finished.
Wang Fuhai, who was guarding outside the palace, saw the painter coming out and knew it was time for him to go in, so he said at the door: "Your Majesty, it's almost lunchtime, do you think we should serve you food?"
"Yes." Emperor Zhaohui gave his own answer.
Not long after, the palace servants began to serve the meal.
Emperor Zhaohui took the hand of the fifth princess Li Handan, and the two went to the palace where they used to have meals together.
In fact, they could also dine in the main hall, but Emperor Zhaohui thought the table in the main hall was too long, and the father and daughter had to sit too far apart, and neither he nor his daughter liked it.
Emperor Zhaohui, who was very particular about etiquette and rules when dealing with outsiders, just wanted to be an ordinary father and enjoy the simplest family happiness when facing his daughter Li Handan.
When the two of them were walking towards the palace for dinner, they happened to pass the side hall where the third princess Li Danruo was. She watched her father walking past her holding her sister's hand.
The third princess wanted to follow and wanted to call out loudly for her father, but her wet nurse held her hand tightly and even covered her mouth.
No matter how she struggled, even at the end she kicked the wet nurse several times, the wet nurse never let her go.
After the two of them walked away, the nanny heaved a long sigh and knelt down to the Third Princess Li Danruo: "Please, Princess, punish me for my disrespect."
"Mammy, please get up!" Li Danruo's expression was stiff. She had now come to her senses from her previous emotions. She knew that her nanny was doing this for her own good, but she couldn't calm down after all. No matter how strong she was, she was just a nine-year-old child.
Before the nanny had time to stand up, Wang Fuhai's voice rang out in the side hall: "What are you talking about! Did this servant do something to displease the Third Princess?"
The third princess turned around and saw Wang Fuhai standing outside the palace, looking at her with a smile. She hurriedly lowered her head to hide her expression: "Eunuch, Nanny is very good, she just said a few wrong words just now, and she is apologizing now!"
Wang Fuhai's eyes swept over the young eunuch who was serving on the side. The young eunuch walked quickly to his side without saying a word.
"Third Princess, it's already lunch time. The imperial kitchen knows you are here, so they brought your meal over." Wang Fuhai turned sideways and asked the palace servants behind him to bring in the food boxes and place them on the table one by one.
"The imperial kitchen has added a new dish for you today. Princess Three, you must try it." After Wang Fuhai said this, he asked another eunuch beside him to stay and serve the princess, and he left with the eunuch.
"Third Princess, please have your meal," the young eunuch said attentively.
The wet nurse had already stood up by this time and began to serve Li Danruo according to her previous eating habits.
"Tell me! What happened just now!" Wang Fuhai sat in his seat, drinking tea and asking the young eunuch.
"When the Emperor and the Fifth Princess went to have a meal, they happened to pass by the side hall and the Third Princess saw them." The young eunuch's words were simple and he explained the matter clearly in just one sentence.
"Given the Third Princess' temper, I'm afraid she'll be in trouble for quite a while!" Wang Fuhai scraped the foam off with the lid of a tea bowl. "But it seems nothing happened this time!"
The young eunuch thought about the situation and answered, "At that time, the wet nurse kept pulling the third princess, and in order to prevent the third princess's voice from disturbing the emperor, she also covered the third princess's mouth."
“Oh! This wet nurse is quite courageous.” Wang Fuhai chuckled, “She really wants to protect her master! I just don’t know if the master can understand! Xiao Qingzi, what do you think is the most important thing in this palace?”
"I am a stupid slave!" Xiao Qingzi didn't dare to answer.
"Live. Only by living can you have a future." Wang Fuhai looked at Xiao Qingzi and reminded him of this.
