"Changle, how is your father's health?" The emperor asked with a loving look on his face. As he spoke, he sounded like a good brother who cared about his younger brother.

The little princess blinked, "Father, he is so old that his teeth are about to fall out!"

The emperor laughed heartily after hearing this, and his attendants couldn't help but laugh.

For a moment, the emperor stopped smiling and deliberately darkened his face: "Nonsense, your father is forty years old and in his prime, how can he lose all his teeth?"

Lu Li didn't know what the little princess was thinking, but Lu Li felt a little thumped in her heart.

She has acted in a lot of costume dramas, and she still knows the phrase "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."

It was the first time the little princess entered the palace. It was impossible to say how much the old emperor loved her. However, the little princess moved very freely in the palace and lived in the palace. Unlike other envoys of the vassal king who could only live in the inn, from this point on

It can be seen that her family is very powerful.

But the couch lying on its side would not allow others to sleep soundly. The old emperor must have been very suspicious. Therefore, even if he passed his sixtieth birthday, the prince who was far away in the fiefdom would not dare to enter the palace and could only send his daughter to send him a congratulatory gift.

It's obviously interesting.

But the old emperor threw out this gift proposition again.

The little princess jumped off the chair, put her hands behind her back, hunched over her body, and said with an old look: "I'm old, I'm old, I'm useless~"

She spread her hands and looked innocent: "That's it."

The old emperor didn't hold back and started laughing again.

After a while, he thought about the little princess's marriage again: "Changle, I'm going to be sixteen this year, are you married?"

The maid standing beside her with lowered eyebrows changed her face slightly, but she saw someone from the palace coming in to report. The old emperor waved his hand and did not continue the topic. The princess took her leave on her own initiative, and did not see it until she reached the door. Waiting outside the palace door was Prime Minister Ji.

.

"Princess." The other party greeted him warmly.

"Prime Minister Ji."

The princess glanced at a Taoist priest holding a fly whisk in his hand, followed by two Taoist boys in navy blue robes holding boxes. He went in without asking anyone to report. She looked confused: "Prime Minister Ji, didn't you just send someone to report?

, why don’t you go in?”

The Prime Minister is young and upright, "It is time for Your Majesty to take the elixir."

In other words, the old emperor didn't let him in.

No wonder the Taoist just looked arrogant.

"Then I'll wait with you for a while," the little princess said.

Prime Minister Ji didn't say yes or no, he just looked at her calmly.

The bright little face is calm and generous, neither arrogant nor timid. She is very easy-going in dealing with others and has no airs. She also has a childish nature, which is different from those raised in the palace.

After a while, a palace official came out and said, "Master Ji, Your Majesty is tired. Please come back first."

When he said this, everyone around him looked like he was used to it.

"In that case, I will resign."

The little princess left with him as a matter of course, and the two Taoist boys exited the palace at this time. They walked very fast, and soon passed them and walked to the front.

Lu Li heard two Taoist boys whispering.

"Why are you pretending to be noble? He doesn't make elixirs, but others make them."

"People look down on us."

"What's the use of a vision from heaven? I gave him such a good opportunity in vain..."

"Hey, if master didn't have these, he would still be summoned to the palace by the emperor... I think it's not that he doesn't want to make alchemy, it's just that he doesn't know how to do it."

…

"Who are they talking about? What do you mean? I don't understand." Not to mention the little princess, Lu Li was also confused.

Prime Minister Ji's eyes were very calm, but his voice was still gentle: "The Imperial Master does not want to be rejected for refining the elixir, so your Majesty recruits talented people from all over the world to refine the elixir of immortality."

"National Preceptor?"

Prime Minister Ji smiled and said: "Princess Changle, the peonies in the imperial garden are very beautiful."

"Really? Then take me there and see. I don't know the way." Changle's attention was diverted as expected.

Prime Minister Ji glanced at the large group of palace maids behind her and said without comment, "Please."

As soon as they entered the Imperial Garden, they heard noisy footsteps, followed by a low scolding.

"Ninth brother, these are the boots that the prince's brother and mother made for him. Now they've been stained by you. How do you think you'll compensate?" Someone arrogantly accused the ninth prince in the wheelchair.

The prince whispered: "Sixth brother, it's okay. Ninth brother didn't do it on purpose. It will be cleaned up later. It's just a pair of boots. Don't hurt the harmony between brothers."

"Prince, you just had such a good temper that some people kicked your nose in your face!" The sixth prince crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

"Second brother, I'm sorry." The Ninth Prince lowered his eyes, unable to see the expression in his eyes.

The Sixth Prince sneered: "You look like someone has bullied you. We are all brothers. Ninth Brother, you shouldn't apologize on the surface, but in your heart you hold a grudge against all of us."

"Hey, this is boring."

The Ninth Prince still had no mood swings and said quietly: "I have no such intention."

"Hey, I finally came out to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't expect to encounter such an unlucky thing. Brother Prince, let's go."

The six princes surrounded the prince, and behind him there was a large crowd of palace servants. When they left, the imperial garden became quiet.

Chang Le and the Prime Minister walked to where the group of people were staying just now, and saw the Ninth Prince standing alone, reaching for the stones on the ground, but they were still just a little short.

His back wheelchair was stuck.

Prime Minister Ji squatted down, took out the stones, pushed the Ninth Prince to a stable place, and said, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince, should also take care of himself."

"Thank you, Master Ji."

The Ninth Prince was very cold and moved the wheelchair up and down. A young eunuch hurriedly came out from the other side and pushed the wheelchair away.

Lu Li saw that the little eunuch was soaked to the skin.

After the two of them had completely left, Prime Minister Ji looked away and sighed.

Changle was a little angry: "They are bullying him."

Prime Minister Ji said nothing and walked slowly with her in the imperial garden.

"It's really annoying." Changle puffed up his face, "Can't his legs stand up?"

Lu Li listened and felt that although the little princess understood the treacherous situation in the palace, she was still a bit simple.

"Well, His Highness the Ninth Prince ate the wrong thing when he was ten years old. After he was revived, the imperial doctor announced that his legs were useless." Prime Minister Ji said calmly.

Changle pulled a leaf and turned it in his hand, then said casually: "Then he can't be the emperor."

Prime Minister Ji stopped, his eyes unclear, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Changle tilted his head, "What's wrong?"

"Princess." Prime Minister Ji smiled helplessly, slowly reached out and stroked Chang Le's hair on his temples.

Changle's cheeks were slightly red, and the next second, Prime Minister Ji picked a petal from her head.

"Ah!" Changle exclaimed, "It must have been blown by the wind."

When she pulled the leaves, the petals fell on her head. Prime Minister Ji did not point it out, but said softly, "Don't say these words again in the future."

Changle smiled brightly: "I know, I only told Prime Minister Ji."

The girl's straightforward and frank preference was fully revealed in the bright sunlight.
