The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1375: The Courier of Sui Dan

"I also heard it on the road. Most of the wise ministers and good generals have been killed by my father a long time ago. The rest are villains who offer slanderous words and mislead people and the country!" Princess Zhuoyang did not mention the excavation of the imperial tombs of their ancestors, because the royal family was the most ruthless. Since she stepped out of Dalang, she had no feelings for the royal family that had long disappointed her.

"Then it's not a bad thing for you to get married. Why do you have to be so sad? I have inquired these days. The Southern Emperor is diligent in government affairs and is on par with my grandfather. You should be able to live well if you marry him, but there is one thing that is not so good."

"Which point?"

"The Southern Emperor is a little older and his appearance is not outstanding. Although there are more concubines in the harem, you can still live a stable life if you are careful in what you say and do!"

Hearing this, Princess Zhuoyang shed tears silently.

Cheng Youning quickly put down the food and drink in his hand and said, "Zhuoyang, I didn't say anything! Why are you crying?"

Cheng Youning did not say anything. She was very tactful and did not say without any taboos like the followers that the Southern Emperor was an old man and extremely ugly. She had been out of the palace for so long and no one told her to be careful in her words and deeds and live a stable life after marrying to the Southern Yan Kingdom.

From the moment she embarked on the path of marriage, no one cared about her life or death.

"Youning, you're the only one who still cares about me!"

Cheng Youning looked at the food and drinks on the table and was very satisfied. "You're nice to me, too. We're friends after all!"

"Then can you help me?"

"What can I help you with?"

"Help me meet your little grandfather!"

Cheng Youning looked embarrassed, "Because of you, I was severely punished by my grandfather. My grandfather really doesn't want to see you."

Princess Zhuoyang wiped away her tears and said to Ling'er, the little maid beside her: "Go and get the things!"

Ling'er obediently took out a wooden box.

Cheng Youning immediately understood what Princess Zhuoyang meant, "You are not going to bribe me again, my grandfather will beat me to death!"

"This is a set of headgear, made by the most skilled craftsman in Dalang. It is very valuable. You will definitely like it when you see it!"

Just as Cheng Youning was about to say that he had seen everything, the box was opened by Princess Zhuoyang herself, and Cheng Youning swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

This headdress was perfect. It was a golden crown inlaid with all kinds of treasures, including cat's eyes, vermilion stone, red thorn stone, emerald, topaz, amethyst, and many others that Cheng Youning couldn't name. What Cheng Youning liked most was the pearls inlaid on the headdress. There were hundreds of pearls of all sizes strung together and hanging down.

Cheng Youning reached out and touched the golden phoenixes flying high on both sides of the golden crown. They were vivid and lifelike. The two strings of pearls in the phoenix's mouth that could hang down to its chest were all exquisite.

"You're going to give this to me?"

Princess Zhuoyang nodded and said, "As long as you let me see Wan Lianxing, this thing will be yours."

Cheng Youning picked up the golden crown. It was very big and heavy. He compared it to his head.

Princess Zhuoyang praised: "It looks great!"

Soon Cheng Youning carefully put the golden crown back into the wooden box and said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful it is, it is something you girls wear. I, a boy, can't wear it."

The headpiece is exquisitely crafted and made of priceless materials, it is impeccable and a rare item. Unfortunately, he cannot use it.

Princess Zhuoyang said, "You have already arranged three marriages, so you can give this to your future Crown Princess. She will definitely like it. What's the girl's name? Chen Zi'e, right?"

"You know that I have three marriages, and you also know that the future Crown Princess is called Chen Zi'e? Are you investigating this Crown Prince?" Cheng Youning suddenly had the illusion that he was being followed and spied on. This feeling was not good, as if he was a prey being targeted. Even if they were friends, he could not be offended. Cheng Youning frowned slightly, waiting for Zhuoyang to explain to him.

"Oh, why are you so upset? I can't get any news about your grandfather, so I can't get any news about you either! I have written to your grandfather a lot in the past few years, but he doesn't like me, and all my letters have been ignored. If you help me with this, this headdress will be yours."

Children usually can't hide their thoughts. Just as Cheng Youning compared the headdress to her own head, Princess Zhuoyang was sure that Cheng Youning liked her dowry headdress. As long as she could find a reasonable excuse, Cheng Youning would naturally accept it.

Cheng Youning declined, "I'm only nine years old, and I'm still a long way from getting married. This thing will be useless even if I take it back."

"Then you can give this thing to your mother. Women all like this thing. I remember your mother was also very beautiful."

Unexpectedly, the last sentence Princess Zhuoyang said casually pleased Cheng Youning. He looked at the headgear and smiled, as if he saw her mother's reaction when she saw it. "My mother hates these impractical things the most, but I can keep this headgear for now. As for where to put it, I will study it later."

Qiao Rong, who was beside Cheng Youning, looked even more sullen after hearing what Cheng Youning said. The prince was just a stickler for food and didn't remember being beaten. This guy was probably beaten lightly by the emperor. He wanted to see how his prince would do things for Princess Zhuoyang after accepting such a valuable thing from her.

Princess Zhuoyang and Cheng Youning both smiled happily as they got what they wanted. One was happy to give out the gift, while the other was happy to receive the expensive gift.

"Youning, use your little brain and think about how to let me meet your grandfather as soon as possible."

"It's actually very easy to meet, but we just can't do it so openly!"

"No matter what method you use, as long as you can see your little grandfather, that's fine."

Cheng Youning waved at Princess Zhuoyang, and Princess Zhuoyang came over. The two whispered carefully, and then they both grinned, "Youning, I was right about you. You still have a lot of ideas."

"Wait for me. I'll send someone to give you two sets of clothes later. I'll come find you tomorrow and take you to the palace to see my grandfather."

"You must come tomorrow!"

"My word is as good as gold." Then Cheng Youning signaled Qiao Rong to take the set of ladies' headgear, and he walked ahead in a dashing manner.

Qiao Rong had a stern face, picked up the heavy wooden box and followed behind.

The next day.

When Wan Lianxing was writing a letter, Cheng Youning came running over and asked, "Grandpa, what are you busy with?"

Wan Lianxing said with a smile: "Sui Dan wrote to me, I am writing back to him!"

"Dandan sent a letter? What did the letter say?"

Wan Lianxing pointed to a small piece of paper on the table and said, "Here, take a look for yourself!"

Cheng Youning opened it and saw only eight words on the small piece of paper: Guan Li is a liar, mother Kang Jiaan!

Cheng Youning was speechless, "Grandpa, is this a code word?"

"This letter is a letter to report my safety to my grandfather, but it is also a letter of complaint."

"Just from these few words, little grandpa can read so much?"

"Yes, little grandpa knows more!"

"Grandpa must be lying. I don't believe it. I am just lazy and don't want to write more words."

Cheng Youning looked down again and saw that his grandfather had only written eight words: Be filial, be sensible, I am well, don't worry!

"Grandpa, are you replying to the letter? Why don't you write more? If you are too lazy to write, your grandson can write for you."

"My little grandfather wanted to write a few more words, but the little messenger was not up to the task."

"What messenger is so incompetent?"

Wan Lianxing pointed to the bookcase filled with scrolls, and saw a strange and cute colorful bird sleeping on a book.
