Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Chapter 163 Prime Minister’s Mansion



Chapter 163 Prime Minister’s Mansion

"Your Majesty." Princess Anguo saluted the emperor with a proper smile on her face.

Yuan Anle followed Princess Anguo in paying respects to the Emperor, "Greetings, Eel."

Her voice was so childish, and because she was still too young, she almost tripped over the hem of her skirt when she was bowing. Yuan Anle was so scared that she quickly stood up straight and glanced at Princess Anguo quickly.

It’s over, my sister will definitely be angry.

The old lady and Mrs. Zhao frowned and looked at Yuan Anle with displeasure.

As expected of a child of untouchables, he is so unpresentable.

Princess Anguo supported Yuan Anle with a smile on her face, "Sister, why are you so careless?"

"Get up." The emperor had a kind smile on his face.

Princess Anguo helped Yuan Anle to his feet, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yuan Anle's face turned pale, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Princess Anguo was so gentle and sensible at such a young age, all the officials discussed how she was worthy of being the lucky daughter of Anping State and was so kind.

Yuan Anle rubbed his clothes secretly with his hanging right hand to relieve the pain.

Just now her younger sister was angry with her again. She is the older sister and cannot complain to grandma and mother, otherwise her younger sister will be locked in a secret room.

Princess Anguo frowned slightly, and felt a slight pain in her right arm.

It was such a damn connection of fate that she couldn't even secretly beat up the pariah who had robbed her of her status as a young lady.

The emperor looked at Eunuch Zheng.

Eunuch Zheng, holding a document bestowed by the Emperor, cleared his throat and shouted sharply, "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees that on the occasion of Princess Anguo's birthday, for her contributions to protecting the nation, she is granted a set of embroidered fine clothing, a red jadeite pearl crabapple flower-shaped hairpin, a jadeite bracelet, ten thousand taels of gold, and ten bolts of moon-lit brocade. This is my decree."

Eunuchs came in one after another carrying things, and in the front was the gorgeous embroidered clothes bestowed by the emperor. When the old lady and Zhao saw it, they smiled excitedly.

They all knew what the gorgeous clothes bestowed by the emperor represented.

It represents the noble status of Princess Anguo, and she does not need to perform formalities when meeting the Empress Dowager.

Princess Anguo tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart and kept a calm smile on her face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

When her autumn eyes looked at the emperor, the corner of her eyes couldn't help but glance at the gorgeous clothes.

The moon-white embroidered clothes emitted scattered streams of light under the sunlight, shining like diamonds in modern times.

She could imagine how noble she would look in this gorgeous dress.

Yuan Anle's face was full of envy. His sister was so amazing.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the palace first. You guys enjoy your drinks." After the emperor sent out the gifts, he did not linger in the Prime Minister's Mansion anymore and stood up to leave the reception room.

Eunuch Zheng came to Yuan Anle and said with a smile: "This is the peace lock given to you by the emperor. I wish you good health, peace and happiness."

"Grandpa, thank the eel on my behalf." Yuan Anle held the safety lock in his hand and smiled.

Eunuch Zheng smiled and quickly left the reception room.

"Sister's peace lock is so beautiful." Princess Anguo smiled wryly.

Yuan Anle's eyes lit up, "I think it's pretty cool too!"

Her chubby hands couldn't wait to put the safety lock around her neck. She ran to the old lady and Zhao with her short legs, pointing at the safety lock on her neck with a smile on her face, saying that this was a birthday gift from the emperor.

The old lady and Zhao showed gentle and kind smiles in front of all the officials, and touched Yuan Anle's head with a smile.

All the officials in the court surrounded Princess Anguo, wanting to see her divine power.

Princess Anguo showed them her ability to make a withered flower come back to life in her hands, which surprised all the officials.

He directly called Princess Anguo the savior of Anping State sent by God.

Lihua Village——

Yaoyao lifted the hem of her skirt and walked around the yard barefoot for several laps. Her round face was rosy and the little strands of hair on her cheeks stuck to her cheeks with sweat, and small beads of sweat fell from her cheeks.

You can't see the toes in the round belly. It looks so bulging that you can tell from the stomach that it has eaten a lot.

"My belly is full, I want to gain some weight... Zhou Lulu, grow some weight." Yaoyao muttered to herself as she walked. When she felt her mouth was dry, she ran into the house, picked up a glass of milk on the table and drank it down in one gulp.

Old Mrs. Liu, Old Mrs. Shen, and Old Mrs. Ye were trying to hold back their laughter. Whose little kid at such a young age would say he wanted to lose weight after eating a little bit of food, and then just because he was thirsty, he would drink a whole glass of milk.

Isn't this a waste of effort?

Seeing that Yaoyao's clothes were soaked with sweat, Old Lady Liu took out a red bellyband for Yaoyao to change into.

He took a soft towel and wiped Yaoyao's rosy little face.

"Yaoyao isn't fat, this is just right."

Yaoyao blinked her grape eyes, her watery eyes sparkling with stars. She patted her belly and said dissatisfiedly: "Dudu, you can't see the dunging of your feet."

Sister Lingling, your brothers’ bellies are all small, only yours is round.

"You are still a child. When you grow up and your stomach becomes thinner, it will be gone." Old Mrs. Liu smiled and pinched the tip of Yaoyao's nose.

This is all caused by controlling Yaoyao's diet recently.

Yaoyao's eyes lit up, "Doesn't that nest look like it could grow a lot more fleshy?"

"No, you're still young and prone to food indigestion."

"Oh." Yaoyao nodded, not quite understanding.

"Grandma, someone is coming." Yaoyao pointed to the gate.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people from the county government came to his door.

Old Mrs. Liu frowned. Now she felt disgusted when she saw people from the county government.

During this period, the county magistrate took some kind of medicine that damaged his brain, and suddenly he became a different person overnight.

He led the yamen runners to help the common people harvest rice and sweet potatoes, and also helped the elderly people in the village who had no children to apply for poverty alleviation funds, so that they could receive one or two taels of silver every month to live on.

Every day he would take the yamen runners around the village, and when he saw that the common people were too busy, he would take the yamen runners to help.

When the common people saw the county magistrate, they secretly discussed whether the county magistrate was planning something big. After all, they didn't believe that the county magistrate, who usually sucked their blood, would suddenly turn nice.

Therefore, all the common people looked at the county magistrate with displeasure and refused to let him help them.

They just didn't believe it. They didn't even give the county magistrate a good look. How long could he continue to act like this?

But it was okay for one, two days, or a month. The county magistrate, who faced the cold face of the people every day, could still come forward with a kind face to help, and the people felt a little relieved.

The county magistrate in front of them seemed different. Although the previous county magistrate also had a smile on his face, it was the county magistrate who dealt them the fatal blow from behind.

Although the common people no longer showed any displeasure, they were not very enthusiastic when they saw the county magistrate coming with his runners.

What enthusiasm is there? If he wasn't the county magistrate, the people would have attacked him with knives long ago.

They are willing to help. If they can call back their sons and grandsons who are serving in the army at the border, they will be nice to them.

Old Mrs. Liu frowned slightly. What was the matter that the yamen runners suddenly came to her house?

When I went out, I saw three yamen runners carrying a basket of books on their shoulders. The paper was yellowed and the corners were slightly curled, which showed that it was often read.

"What are you doing?" Old Lady Liu asked in confusion.
