Ch 12: Third Brother and Fourth Brother Online
Su Junyao squeezed out two crocodile tears, disregarding his scholarly elegance, and directly pounced on Emperor Jingming’s leg like a hungry tiger. If it weren’t for the quick-wittedness of the head eunuch beside him, Emperor Jingming would have fallen backward, hitting his head on the ground!
Emperor Jingming moved his leg, his face speechless: “Don’t use on me what you used on the Late Emperor!”
Say whatever nonsense you have to say quickly. We grew up playing in the mud together, so what’s with all the hesitation!
Su Junyao knew the Emperor’s heart well. Although they were playmates, their positions were different now. He could only act after evoking a bit of their youthful friendship.
Seeing that Emperor Jingming had relaxed a lot, he then opened his mouth: “Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that when we were children, we went to Qingyun Temple north of the city to pray for a blessing tablet for Her Majesty the Empress Dowager. Now my mother is not in good health, and I want to imitate Your Majesty to fulfill my filial piety.”
“I kowtowed for three days, and on the last day, a Divine Koi actually entered my dream. How strange!”
Su Junyao put on a distressed and thoughtful look, twisting his sword-like eyebrows, which made him appear even more lost.
Emperor Jingming immediately perked up. He knew that the legends of miracles passed down from ancient famous emperors would ultimately fall upon him!
“I wonder what revelations this Divine Koi entering your dream has?”
Su Junyao’s expression was solemn, making Emperor Jingming feel a chill down his back: “I allow you to speak freely!”
“I thank Your Majesty!”
Su Junyao told Emperor Jingming that a red-tailed Jinli entered his dream, followed by heavy snow and the lake freezing over. The Jinli was trapped on the lake surface, and an old madam with white hair and luxurious clothes rescued the Jinli by stroking the ice surface with her hand.
The Jinli was grateful and flicked its tail, and a large pearl emerged from the lake. Just as the old madam was about to receive it, the pearl shattered into pieces but blocked the oncoming gravel for the madam.
“I am foolish and cannot understand the mystery within. The Qingyun Temple Master, upon hearing this, told me to seek you in the Imperial Palace, saying that you are the one who can solve the puzzle.”
“I implore Your Majesty to solve the puzzle!”
Su Junyao strived for perfection and spent three days crafting the story, even going to ask the Qingyun Temple Master. Coincidentally, the Temple Master calculated and said that the Jinli he fabricated out of thin air was a person of great fortune, coming to Great Zhou to repay kindness.
He even divined that the Imperial Family would face a calamity, urging him to quickly enter the Palace.
Wasn’t this just like someone bringing a pillow when you’re dozing off!
Emperor Jingming wasn’t a fool either. After careful consideration, he instantly understood the meaning within.
The Jinli was an auspicious omen, and the old woman in luxurious clothes could only be matched by the one in Cien Palace. The pearl was even more interesting. Everyone knew that he had used one hundred and eight rare South Sea pearls to build the Yunzhu Pagoda for the Empress Dowager.
This was pointing him out!
Emperor Jingming sat in the high seat, the expression on his face unclear, but discerning people knew that he was angry.
Eunuch Liu stood trembling beside the Emperor, really wanting to ask if the Heir to the Wen Yang Marquis had lost his mind. How could he dare to use the Empress Dowager’s affairs as a raft? Wasn’t this courting death!
But he didn’t dare to move. Since the Master hadn’t spoken, he, as a servant, could only wait anxiously on the side.
After a moment, Emperor Jingming suddenly stood up and instructed Eunuch Liu: “Liu Debao, let the people from the Ministry of Works responsible for building the Yunzhu Pagoda roll in here to see me! Su Junyao, accompany me to the Yunzhu Pagoda!”
The Empress Dowager cared about the people and prayed for blessings at the Yunzhu Pagoda, but after only three days in the pagoda, the Emperor respectfully invited her out. When she left the pagoda, she saw officials of all sizes from the Ministry of Works kneeling on the ground.
In fact, she had been feeling uneasy since entering the pagoda, and after leaving the pagoda, she had a feeling of rebirth. Before she could ask for details, she was invited back to the Imperial Palace by the Emperor’s people.
The craftsmen from the Ministry of Works inspected the Yunzhu Pagoda inside and out, confirming Su Junyao’s words about the Divine Koi entering his dream.
The base of the pagoda was unstable. If the wooden pagoda body was soaked by ice and snow, and a blizzard weighed down on it, it would collapse in an instant.
The people inside the pagoda would probably not be able to escape…
Emperor Jingming was furious and ordered the Wen Yang Marquis to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice to investigate the construction of the Yunzhu Pagoda. For a time, the Imperial Court was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger, fearing that they would offend His Majesty and lose their official hats.
The b*oody storms in the Capital had nothing to do with Chou Chou. She was very happy now!
Looking at the two brothers in front of her, one fat and one thin, Chou Chou felt that her eyes were not enough.
【Hehe, handsome brother, Chou Chou’s!】
【Two brothers, look at me! Look at me! Haven’t you seen such a plump Jinli like me?】
Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng exchanged glances. The twin brothers had a telepathic understanding, but at this time, their eyes were dull.
Were they made stupid by the teachers at the academy? They actually heard their younger sister’s thoughts?
Su Jingwen was a bit thin, wearing a green academy uniform like a handsome green bamboo. Having been a brother for a long time, he still knew how to maintain composure, quietly watching his younger sister kicking her little fat legs in front of the cradle.
Plump?
◈◈◈
Indeed quite plump!
Su Xiucheng was fair and strong. If his brother was like green bamboo, he was like a fat bamboo shoot. With his lively nature, he directly leaned out half his body and reached out to poke his younger sister.
His finger poked a dimple in Chou Chou’s face, and his eyes lit up as he poked it again.
“Younger sister is really soft!”
【Yes, human cubs are soft.】
Chou Chou’s biggest problem now was that she hadn’t yet tamed this disobedient body of a human cub.
She was really bored. When she was in the Jinli Clan, she was the little tyrant of the clan, sneaking out to play every day. Now, she couldn’t even stand guard.
D*mn it, what goes around comes around!
She had already recognized everyone in her beautiful Mother’s courtyard, and everyone had played with her once. The fickle Little Koi finally welcomed her two older brothers who were on vacation from the academy.
【Help me up, I can play!】
Chou Chou waved her little arms and legs a few times, and the inexperienced older brothers immediately exclaimed, “Wow, younger sister is so amazing!”
Since the two older brothers were so supportive, Chou Chou couldn’t let them down. 【I’ll show you something amazing later.】
【Aunt Dongxiao, milk please!】
Chou Chou immediately performed a storm inhalation for her two older brothers, a cub showing off milk.
Su Xiucheng was indeed very supportive and clapped his hands and cheered: “Wow, younger sister can eat so much!”
She slurped and drank a bowl of cow’s milk in two mouthfuls.
Su Jingwen also nodded: “I have never seen such a heroic little baby.”
Chou Chou was super proud: 【I can eat a lot!】
Jinli are only cute when they are chubby, so Chou Chou never thought there was anything wrong with herself.
Yun Jinglan, who had been silently listening to Chou Chou’s thoughts and looking at her two supportive sons, was silent.
Do girls really like this style now?
Having given birth to four sons, Yun Jinglan, who didn’t understand little girls, was conflicted. Chou Chou didn’t seem like a child who would follow the usual path~
But in an instant, Yun Jinglan relaxed again. The sky is big, the earth is big, and the child’s happiness is the most important thing. So what if she can eat a little? Their Wen Yang Marquis Family can afford to raise her.
Besides, she has a lot of dowry, and Chou Chou is so small, she can’t eat them poor!
She’s so cute, of course she should let her eat!
The two older brothers were teasing Chou Chou, and Chou Chou was also teasing the older brothers.
While they were playing happily, Chou Chou suddenly became melancholy.
【Alas, what good older brothers, why are they so pitiful.】
【Third Brother, stay away from the horses, they will kick your butt.】
【Fourth Brother, you should continue to be fat, I’m afraid bad people will be jealous of your face.】
Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng were stunned. What was Chou Chou saying? Why couldn’t they understand?
Chou Chou, the number one melancholy king in the audience: 【Oh, my family is so full of disasters!】
The whole family: “???”
