Chapter 5 — The Side Character Who Planned to Live to One Hundred
7 Lately I've been going to the palace often. On the one hand, because the little emperor feels that I am there, Qi Uyen's emotions will be more stable, and he will also be beaten less often. On the other hand, he started corresponding with Tieu Tran Chau, wanting to ask me how to pursue girls. At that time, I asked him why he didn't go ask Te Uyen. The little emperor smiled mysteriously: "Uncle Emperor can't." Unfortunately, this sentence was heard by insiders. The little emperor cried until his voice was hoarse and was punished by standing with his butt up in the sun all afternoon. Near sunset, Te Uyen took my hand and went out to check the situation. Just looking at it made my blood freeze. When did Tan Yen come? How long has it been? Seeing her wipe away the little emperor's sweat and even feed her fruit, she's truly a good and thoughtful sister. As we walked closer, Tan Yen glanced at me provocatively: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, I'm afraid it's not okay for the Prince Regent and Princess to do something like that?" Qi Uyen coldly glanced at the emperor: "Can't stand it just like that?" The little emperor quickly shook his head and explained: "The emperor is training me physically. The emperor said that the kind of man who spits blood after being hit with a single blow is useless." “I am not trash.” I saw Tan Yen's hands shaking with anger, but his face still pretended to be calm. Really talented, aren't you afraid of choking and internal injuries? Knowing she couldn't gain the advantage, Tan Yen took a deep breath: "I have something to do, please leave first." After walking a few steps, she turned to look at the little emperor: "If your Majesty has time, why not think about what I just said." Before leaving, he glanced at Te Uyen. Cold waves flowed from the soles of my feet. I recall that in the original work, due to not being able to love, Qi Uyen became increasingly angry. Every time I met Tan Yen and returned, I tormented him, demanding a divorce, causing the entire royal palace to never have peace. Qi Uyen saw me bewildered, so he raised his hand and patted the back of the little emperor's head, his voice cold: "What did she just say to you?" The little emperor immediately sat down on the ground, rubbed his head, and said pitifully: "She said that if I desire freedom, she can help." I perked up my ears to continue listening. “I said I want to fall in love.” I breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Uyen smirked: "Your five-pound head, your four-pound head, is all thinking about love." The little emperor did not flinch, stood up and patted his butt: "Then I am not as good as the royal uncle, how many people have to plan to marry the royal judge." I listened but was confused: "What are you two talking about?" Qi Yuan laughed coldly, pulled out his sword, and in the blink of an eye, the little emperor turned into a squirrel and hid behind me. Are you planning on scraping your teeth again? 8 At the mid-autumn festival in the palace, Qi Uyen was called away and never returned. I don't have the heart to enjoy singing and dancing, I only feel restless and uneasy. At this time, the second lady of the Ministry of Rites suddenly opened her mouth: "I heard that the Queen Regent's piano is very good. How about taking this opportunity to play a song for everyone to enjoy?" I stood up and looked at her coldly: "Are you worthy of commanding this princess?" The atmosphere immediately turned cold, Tan Yen immediately came out to be the mediator. "The second lady of the Song family is still young, has a simple mind, and originally admired the princess's talent. I hope the princess will not blame her." Most of the noble ladies here were Tan Yen's playmates, and after what she said, they immediately followed suit. It's like frogs in a pond croaking, it's boring to listen to. "This princess also admires Miss Tan, how about Miss Tan come up and sing a song for everyone to enjoy?" “I…” Tan Yen felt a little embarrassed, I had no intention of forgiving her. “Ah yes, if this princess remembers correctly, it seems that both you and the second young lady are five years older than me.” "It's true that these big, bright-eyed, unmarriageable ladies are simply terrible." A few young ladies, who had not liked Tan Yen for a long time, now all covered their mouths and secretly laughed. At first, I didn't understand why the second young lady of the Song family dared to be here and make things difficult for me, not respecting the general's palace or the royal family's palace. When Qi Uyen and the little emperor appeared, her infatuated eyes gave me the answer. Of course, it's not aimed at the little emperor. I glared at Te Uyen and turned away, not bothering to pay attention to him. Not a single word escaped Te Uyen's ears from the conversation just now. "Second Miss Song and Miss Qin, since you are so interested in art, let's bring them to the guild to develop their strengths." Qi Uyen's voice was bone-chillingly cold, no one dared to cough even half a sentence. Not knowing what Tan Yen saw, his eyes were fixed on the little emperor, he opened his mouth to speak but could not utter a word. Only later did I know that Tan Yen had already made arrangements and was preparing to take the little emperor out of the palace tonight. The person waiting at the palace gate is Dung Hao. But when Qi Uyen and the little emperor appeared at the banquet, it proved that their plan had failed, and Dung Hao... eight out of ten was more evil than good. 9 While Qi Uyen was sleeping, I stole his token and sword and went to Dung Hao alone. With Qi Uyen's command token in hand, the road was unbelievably smooth. And our male protagonist is now all dirty, tied to a torture rack, his dead eyes fixed on me. The person who once looked down on me, even spat at me, now has a light shining in his eyes when he looks at me. "Duong Duong, you came to save me, right? I promise you, as long as you take me out, I can forget about what happened before when you poisoned Yen Nhi. If you are willing to change that big lady's attitude and treat Yen Nhi with respect, I will not hesitate to accept you as my concubine." Dung Hao babbled endlessly about a beautiful future, in his mind imagining the scene of hugging left and right, big wife, small wife, everything. The more he spoke, the more the temperature of the dungeon seemed to drop a degree.
