Chapter 360 Throwing the Child to the Emperor
Xie Run was troubled by the Sixth Prince's clinginess and had no idea of the little calculations of everyone in the harem.
A child over one year old cannot be reasoned with, beaten or scolded, and can only be coaxed.
The next day, Xian Zhaoyuan came again. When the Sixth Prince saw her, he started crying at the top of his lungs as if he had seen a human trafficker.
Xian Zhaoyuan could only leave with a look of grievance on her face.
The little guy was probably stimulated during the day, and he started crying with a pout as soon as he couldn't see Xie Run at night.
Taotao is not a crybaby, but he loves to join in the fun.
He was having fun, but when he heard someone crying, his eyes rolled and he started shouting at the top of his lungs.
Showa Shrine, which is usually very quiet, has been as lively as a theater these past two days.
The palace maids passing by could always hear the cries and shouts.
After three days in a row, Xian Zhaoyuan could no longer bear it, and Xie Run could no longer bear it either.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? The Sixth Prince is so attached to you, I'm afraid Xian Zhaoyuan will hate you to death. Our palace will have no peace every day."
Xie Run rubbed his temples and said, "Someone help me change my clothes. I'm going to the imperial study to ask to see the emperor!"
Dan Tao and Xiao Shu's eyes lit up.
Everyone thought that Xie Run was helpless against the Sixth Prince, so he went to ask the Emperor for advice.
Little did they know that Xie Run was afraid that the emperor would get carried away and give the Sixth Prince to her because he was so attached to her.
She had to take the initiative and never give the emperor a chance to speak.
After changing his clothes, Xie Run specially asked someone to paint himself to look haggard.
He brought two wet nurses, holding Taotao and the Sixth Prince on each side.
Xie Run brought his men to the Imperial Study with great fanfare to ask for an audience.
Eunuch Shi'an hurried in to inform the emperor: "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhaode has arrived."
The emperor was reading the memorial in his hand and said calmly, "It's here, so why are you so nervous?"
"Why, are you afraid she'll eat you?"
The emperor was still in the mood to joke, which showed that he was in a good mood.
How could the emperor not know what has been happening in Showa Palace these days?
But he was also happy to watch the fun and waited for Xie Run to come and beg him.
Eunuch Shi'an paused and said, "The Concubine Zhaode came with the Fifth and Sixth Princes."
The emperor raised his eyes, his dark gaze falling on Eunuch Shi'an's face: "What did you say?"
Eunuch Shi'an emphasized again: "Empress Zhaode Consort had the Fifth and Sixth Princes brought here together."
"Nonsense! It's snowing so heavily outside, and she's running around with two children..." The emperor scolded her, but he was wondering in his heart what bad idea Xie Run was up to.
Sometimes the emperor couldn't quite understand Xie Run's personality.
Eunuch Shi'an said quickly, "Isn't it? It's still snowing outside. Your Majesty, why don't you ask Concubine Zhaode to bring the two princes in quickly?"
Emperor: "Why don't you go now?"
Xie Run received the summons, pursed his lips slightly, and strode into the imperial study. "I pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
When the emperor heard this, he felt that Xie Run was abnormal.
He stood up and walked to the front of the desk. He raised his hand to help Xie Run up and said gently, "It's snowing heavily outside. Why did you come? Are you cold?"
Xie Run said aggrievedly, "I'm not cold, but I listened to the crying for half the night yesterday and I really couldn't bear it anymore."
The emperor was stunned.
Xie Run continued, "Your Majesty, I really can't take care of these two children. I have to take a break today!"
After she finished speaking, she bowed and said, "I'll take my leave now. I'll let the Fifth and Sixth Princes stay with His Majesty so that he can enjoy the happiness of family life!"
Xie Run didn't even give the emperor a chance to react, and turned around and fled.
She even pretended not to hear the emperor calling her.
Within three breaths, a cry suddenly came from the imperial study, followed by another louder cry.
Xie Run couldn't help but quicken his pace, waving his hand as he walked, saying, "Have someone wait at the gate of our palace. If Xian Zhaoyuan comes again, have her come directly to the Imperial Study to find the Emperor and tell him that I have handed the Sixth Prince over to the Emperor."
Xie Runwan informed the people around him about his presence, and Dan Tao and Xiao Shu both nodded in confusion.
Xiao Shu reacted quickly and asked immediately, "Then your Majesty is not planning to return to the palace?"
Dan Tao also realized that something was wrong, "My Lady, if we don't go back, where should we go?"
Xie Run: "I left home to avoid the children. If I go back to the Showa Palace, won't the Emperor catch me?"
Dan Tao and Xiao Shu were silent.
I thought that as long as you were in the palace, it would only take a word for the emperor to find you if he wanted to.
Xie Run said decisively: "Go to Fengyi Palace! Just say that I'm here to tend to the Queen!"
The snow had been falling heavier these days, and a banner of no war had been put up at the front line. However, the queen suddenly fell ill, and took the opportunity to exempt the six palaces from paying their respects.
In the imperial study, the emperor looked at his two sons who were crying as if in competition, and he almost laughed out of anger.
The emperor suppressed his laughter and scolded, "Why don't you comfort the little prince?! What if he keeps crying and damages his throat?!"
The two wet nurses were in a panic.
The nurse who was taking Tao Tao said helplessly, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince only cried when he heard the Sixth Prince crying. As long as the Sixth Prince stops crying, the Fifth Prince will be fine immediately."
The wet nurse who was holding the Sixth Prince was trying to comfort him anxiously, but she couldn't do anything to comfort the Sixth Prince, and his eyes were filled with helplessness and fear.
"Your Majesty... I, your servant, cannot comfort the Sixth Prince. As soon as he sees Consort Zhaode, he starts crying."
The emperor's face stiffened slightly.
It turned out that the emperor was still interested in watching a play.
After the two children had cried for less than ten breaths, the emperor could no longer bear it and said, "Hurry up and send someone to find Concubine Zhaode!"
"She's so outrageous! She just left the child in my study and left. She doesn't even want her own son?!"
For some reason, the emperor wanted to laugh more the more he spoke.
Xie Run, who was usually gentle and virtuous, only made him feel comfortable, but did not have too many other emotional fluctuations.
On the contrary, Xie Run, who occasionally threw tantrums and caused some new troubles, made him laugh especially hard.
Eunuch Shi'an immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will send someone to find Consort Zhaode and bring her back."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go!"
After all, he is his own son, and the emperor cannot just turn a cold face and let the child cry.
He immediately called a few experienced wet nurses and old palace maids, and offered a reward to anyone who could coax the Sixth Prince.
The emperor was trying to find a way to appease the Sixth Prince, but out of the corner of his eye he saw that the Fifth Prince, who had been shouting for a long time, had no tears on his face, and he suddenly fell silent.
Taotao shouted for a while and felt a little tired. He rested his chin on the nanny's shoulder and rubbed his eyes with his fleshy fists.
When he opened his eyes again, he met his father's dark gaze.
