If someone else had said this, the emperor would have been furious.

But it was Niuniu who was speaking.

He endured and endured, and then said: "Staying in the palace is not like being in jail. Do you still remember Concubine Li? The best things in the world, such as fine clothes and delicious food, are placed in front of her. You can live better than her in the future."

Niuniu shook her head: "The clothes don't need to be too fancy, and the food doesn't need to be too delicious. As long as I am with my family, this is the best life."

The emperor frowned. He didn't expect that although she was young, her will was particularly firm.

"Don't you want a bunch of people to surround you every day, coaxing you to be happy, and you can get your favorite things with just a glance?" The emperor asked.

Niuniu shook her head: "Why are you all around me? Don't you have your own things? Even if it's my parents, I just want to accompany them, not for them to stare at me every day."

The emperor had no way to deal with her.

Niu Niu said again: "You don't let Dad teach me, and you send everyone else out of the palace, leaving only me. Doesn't that mean that everyone else can go home to study and learn etiquette, but I don't know anything?"

"Don't you think studying is hard?" the emperor asked.

Niu Niu nodded.

The emperor said in a matter-of-fact tone: "If you think it's hard, then don't study. You are born with a good life and don't need to live so hard."

If an ordinary little girl heard this, she would jump into such a trap immediately.

But Niu Niu didn't even show a trace of hesitation on her face: "Although studying is hard, it is worth it for understanding reason."

The emperor seemed to think of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "If you want to study, I can teach you personally."

Niu Niu's resistance in her heart became deeper: "I want my dad to teach me more."

"Don't be willful." The emperor said.

The emperor tried to separate Niu Niu from the Gu family. In Niu Niu's heart, the Gu family was too important, and he didn't like it.

Niu Niu said, "You have a lot of requirements for me."

The emperor was stunned when he heard this and said, "I am doing this for your own good."

Niu Niu looked at the other person as if she was looking at a disobedient child: "My parents would not speak like this. Even if they are doing this for my own good, they will explain it to me clearly."

The emperor naturally could not explain his little thoughts clearly.

Niu Niu jumped down from the chair: "I want to see the Queen Mother."

The emperor hurriedly reached out and held her: "The Queen Mother is ill and it is not convenient for her to see people now."

Niu Niu looked at him in silence and felt that the dreamy expression on his face was particularly terrifying.

The emperor had no choice but to say, "You can have lunch here today, and I will send you back to Shoukang Palace in the afternoon."

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother had just woken up at this time.

She got up early and drank a bowl of medicine. She had been sleeping drowsily. Now she woke up and asked Li Shunfu: "Where is Niuniu? What time is it now? Hasn't she finished school yet?"

Li Shunfu bent over and answered carefully: "Empress Dowager, it's time for lunch now. His Majesty sent someone to tell her that Niuniu will have lunch in Wuji Hall at noon."

The Queen Mother woke up instantly.

She widened her eyes: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that you must wait outside Baisun Courtyard without any mistakes?"

Li Shunfu was embarrassed: "Empress Dowager, how can others change His Majesty's mind?"

The Queen Mother was anxious and angry. She also knew that Li Shunfu was telling the truth, but her heart was beating fast, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen.

She was worried about Niuniu and the emperor.

Niuniu was so young, and the Queen Mother didn't want the little girl to see the dark side of the palace.

The emperor insisted on his own way, and the Queen Mother was always afraid that he would ask for trouble.

"Change my clothes, send the sedan chair, and go to Wuji Palace!" said the Queen Mother.

"My queen, you are still sick now. If you go out and get caught in the wind, you may catch a cold..." Li Shunfu tried to stop him.

But the Queen Mother glared at him fiercely: "How dare you ignore what I say?"

Li Shunfu quickly agreed.

After the Queen Mother dressed neatly, she was helped by the servants to get on the sedan chair. The old lady, who was always calm and unhurried, kept urging her on the sedan chair: "Hurry up, go faster!"

She looked anxious, as if something bad would happen if she was late.

After hurrying, the Queen Mother's sedan chair finally arrived at Wuji Palace in one-third less time than usual.

Outside Wuji Palace, the Queen Mother saw Qian Rongsheng standing outside from a distance.

"Why aren't you serving the emperor inside? Who's inside?" asked the Queen Mother.

Qian Rongsheng took a look inside and looked embarrassed.

The Queen Mother's face turned pale: "Only Niuniu and the Emperor are inside?"

Qian Rongsheng nodded imperceptibly.

The Queen Mother was flustered: "Tell the Emperor that I'm here."

Qian Rongsheng hesitated for a moment and said: "His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace to disturb."

How could the Queen Mother hear such words: "How dare you stop me?"

Qian Rongsheng opened his hand to stop him.

The Queen Mother was not polite, she pushed the person away, and then rushed in with a mighty force.

The door of Wuji Palace was suddenly pushed open, and the sunlight suddenly sprinkled in.

The Queen Mother saw that there was a small table between Niuniu and the Emperor, and she was completely relieved.

"Queen Mother Grandma!" Niuniu trotted to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother stretched out her old hand and stroked the little girl's face: "Grandma didn't see Niuniu when she just woke up. Grandma was anxious to see you, so she ran over by herself."

Niuniu clung to the Queen Mother tightly, not wanting to move at all

The emperor had a dark face and asked, "Mother, you are guarding against your son like a thief."

The queen mother had already prepared for a conflict with her son, and she advised earnestly, "Emperor, stop it. Things in this world cannot be obtained by force."

The emperor's face was full of a dreamy expression, and he said, "This is what I deserve. Don't worry, mother, I am not a beast. I won't do anything until the time comes."

But the queen mother was not at ease at all: "Why do you have to do this? Isn't it more important than anything else that she doesn't want to?"

The emperor did not agree with this and said, "Everything can change over time. I just lost because I didn't spend enough time with her and didn't know people well. Now I am willing to change, she should give me a chance."

The queen mother was almost fainted when she saw him being so stubborn.

The emperor waved to Niuniu: "My dear, come to me."

Niuniu didn't want to go over.

"Be obedient." said the emperor.

Niuniu had no choice but to walk over.

The emperor stretched out his hand to her, as if he wanted to touch her hair.

Niu Niu took another step back and dodged.

Before the emperor could speak, Niu Niu suddenly asked, "Uncle Emperor, what's growing on the back of your hand?"

The emperor lowered his head and saw that dark brown spots had appeared on the back of his hand, which was originally clean and tidy.

"Are you poisoned?" Niu Niu asked curiously.

The emperor looked like he was struck by lightning. He stared at the back of his hand, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.

The strange dreamlike expression on his face finally disappeared completely, as if he had finally woken up from a beautiful dream.
