Chapter 241 Of course we have to protect our own family
Yuanbao, who was sitting next to the queen, looked at them curiously. Seeing his mother giving gifts, he immediately took out his own, "Grandfather, Yuanbao also has a gift for you."
The emperor immediately burst into laughter. "Oh, what does Yuanbao want to give to Grandfather?"
Yuanbao put a small bag in the emperor's hand, "Hehe, Grandfather, please take a look."
The emperor opened the bag and saw that there was a small golden turtle inside.
The smile on his face froze, "Yuanbao, who asked you to send this?"
Yuan Bao blinked, "Doesn't the Royal Grandfather like it?"
The emperor's eyelids twitched. How should he answer?
The queen took the bag from him, and after seeing what was inside, she laughed and looked at Yuanbao and said, "Thank you, Yuanbao. Your royal grandfather is so happy."
"However, the Imperial Grandmother is very curious, why did you give this to the Imperial Grandfather?"
Yuan Bao tilted his head, "They say that a thousand-year-old turtle lives for ten thousand years, and I want my royal grandfather to live a hundred years, like they say, so I gave him this."
Everyone laughed when they heard what he said, and they understood what he had given.
Anyone who gave this thing here would be dragged out and beheaded, except the Crown Prince, because the Emperor loves him so much.
The emperor snatched the bag from the queen's hand and said, "Grandfather likes it very much. Thank you, Yuanbao."
Although the thing is not as good as I expected, my grandson’s words are good. I will keep the gift well.
The queen rolled her eyes at him and thought to herself: What's there to be proud of when you're just the eighth prince?
The emperor put the small bag into his secret pocket and then opened the deerskin in his hand. When he saw what was painted on it, he stood up excitedly.
"Crown Princess, what is this?"
"The map of Anguo records every piece of land and village in Anguo in detail, even the streams in the mountains and rivers are recorded in detail." Yuan Man said, glanced at Hui Chengyuan, then leaned close to the emperor and whispered, "The prince also has a detailed map of Yunguo, which is as comprehensive as this one."
The emperor immediately looked at Hui Chengyuan, his eyes widened, "Xiao'er, where is the birthday gift you gave to father?"
How could Hui Chengyuan not hear what Yuan Man said? Not only him, but even the queen heard it.
The Queen looked at them both in amusement.
Hui Chengyuan glanced at Yuan Man and raised his hand, and Ling Feng came over holding a gift box.
"Father, this is your birthday gift from me. I hope your youth will last forever."
As soon as the emperor saw the box, he knew that what was inside was definitely not what he wanted. He curled his lips and signaled Butler Cao to accept it.
"I want that one too."
Hui Chengyuan raised an eyebrow, "I can lend it to you, but I can't give it to you."
"Why, your father asked you for something but you refused to give it to him?" The emperor looked at him unhappily.
"No, I got it with great difficulty. At most I'll lend it to you to have a look." Hui Chengyuan embraced Yuanman, bowed, and prepared to go back.
Yuanbao jumped up, "Dad and Mom, where are you going?"
"Go home. You stay here with your grandfather today. Dad will come to pick you up tomorrow." After Hui Chengyuan said this, he took Yuanman away.
When the ministers' families saw that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had left so early, they could not help but look at each other.
Seeing this, Song Minhuo stood up, said goodbye to the emperor, and left the palace.
He had to arrange for someone to go back, in case anything happened that he would not be able to handle in Anguo.
And he also needs to intensify the work he is doing in Anguo.
I have offended everyone. How can I break the situation?
Thinking of something, he quickened his pace to leave the palace.
The day after Wanshou Festival is Lantern Festival, also known as Mid-Autumn Festival.
Kyoto is just as bustling as yesterday.
However, Yuan Yi, Ling Feng and others are preparing to set off for the northern border.
They went to the North in the name of escorting prisoners, so they were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary escort officers.
Along with them was a team of escorts.
Just as Yuan Yi was leaving the city, a figure fell in front of his horse.
"Ouch..." Yuan Yi stopped his horse and looked at the person lying on the ground, "Princess Siya?"
Hui Siya climbed up with a grin, "It's you."
Seeing him wearing the uniform of an escort officer, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Hey, you are an escort officer now?"
Yuan Yi nodded.
Hui Siya asked, "Why are you escorting the prisoners out at this time? Aren't you staying at home to celebrate the Lantern Festival?"
Yuan Yi nodded again, "Princess Siya, has something happened?" he asked, looking at the two people with slightly flickering eyes.
Hui Siya patted the dust off her body and glanced at the two people. "It's okay, I can handle it myself."
"By the way, where are you escorting the prisoner? Can you take me with you? The farthest place I've been to is Lucheng."
Yuan Yi's skin jumped, "No, I am on a mission and it is not convenient to bring the princess with me. The princess should go back early to avoid Prince Rong worrying."
After saying this, he rode his horse around her and headed towards the city gate.
Hui Siya watched him walk away before she looked at the two people who pushed her. "You are so brave to murder a member of the royal family."
"Come here, arrest them and send them to the clan house."
Although the two girls were from wealthy families, no matter how arrogant they were, they dared not enter the clan residence. What kind of place was that? Even if their fathers went in, they might not be able to get out.
Just when they were getting anxious, they felt relieved when no guards came to arrest them for a long time.
"Oh, but you are just a useless princess from a prince's family. You really think that the clan house is run by your family. You can give it as a gift if you want."
Hui Siya looked unhappy.
Yuan Man was sitting on the second floor, and he could see the scene clearly. "Yuan Shi, go and help Princess Siya. The royal family members cannot be humiliated by anyone who wants to."
After all, she is a member of the royal family now, so of course she has to protect her family.
"Yes, master."
Yuan Shi led the guards given by the prince out of the restaurant, "Come here, arrest those two and send them to the clan house for interrogation."
Hui Siya looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Yuan Shi said, "Princess, I am the Crown Princess's bodyguard. The Crown Princess told me that you are a member of the royal family and not just anyone can bully you."
The two girls were immediately dumbfounded. The Crown Princess's guards were here, which meant the Crown Princess was here. Then wouldn't the Crown Prince be here too?
"It's over." This was the common thought in their minds.
"Well, it was just a misunderstanding. We didn't mean it. Please forgive us, Princess." He Linlin looked at Yuan Shi with tears in her eyes.
She felt so regretful in her heart that she shouldn't have done it herself just now.
Yuan Shi didn't even look at her, "Whether it was intentional or not, we'll know when we go to the clan house."
The Clan Court is not the Jufa Court. It is responsible for handling cases involving clan members, so it will naturally investigate the whole story clearly.
