One touch and one silence

Although the prince smiled at Nancy, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

The seventh brother was bullied by his mother since he was young, and he had to take the blame for her. He grew up alone in a Taoist temple.

He wanted to go and see his father, but he didn't dare to go. He began to wonder if the servants below were disrespectful to his seventh brother again.

Thinking of this, his big white hands pinched the fan bones, making a crackling sound.

Don't wait for him to find out. If he does, he will have to punish you.

The prince did not treat all of his brothers and sisters like this. Nancy was the one who lived the most miserable life.

It is better to have no mother than to have one, and the emperor hates his children’s cowardly character.

Also, the Seventh Brother had a kind heart, and it was ridiculous for him to want brotherly love in the imperial compound.

That is to say, Xiao Qi today is still as pure as paper, and has not been tainted by the intrigues of the palace.

This is also the reason why he is willing to protect it.

Of course, there are times when he is very disappointed with his children and his foolish filial piety is so irritating.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the East Palace, I saw a sedan chair parked at the door.

Nancy looked at the prince and pulled him in to sit together, feeling a little resistant. This was not a seat that an unfavored prince like her could sit on.

The prince directly pressed him down on the chair in the sedan chair and said unhappily, "Just sit down if I tell you to. With your current physique, it would be really strange for me to walk to my father's study."

Nancy felt a little upset. She knew that she was in good health in her previous life. She didn't expect to be laughed at as a weakling in this life.

But this body is indeed weak and looks malnourished, and it really doesn't have that much strength.

"Thank you, Prince Brother!"

"Ok!"

The prince nodded, and was satisfied when he saw her sit down obediently.

As her father-in-law outside mentioned the sedan chair, Nancy felt the feeling of riding in a sedan chair for the first time.

It's quite stable, not like in the previous life where others were swinging back and forth.

Very stable.

After about an hour, the sedan chair stopped.

The prince helped Nancy out.

In fact, Nancy had been resting in the sedan for such a long time that she was in much better spirits.

I no longer feel as tired as a dead dog as before.

However, since it was the prince's kindness, she did not refuse.

The emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when he heard the chief eunuch come in and report that the crown prince and the seventh prince had arrived.

He was a little confused. What was Xiao Qi doing here? Why was she here with the prince?

The butler beside him whispered, "I heard that His Highness the Seventh Prince is in much better health. He has been busy since yesterday and made some cakes by himself and sent them to His Highness the Crown Prince. I think he also wanted to give them to you to try as a sign of filial piety."

The expression on the emperor's face was somewhat unhappy, yet somewhat relieved.

"Why would a prince of a country enter the kitchen?"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves, looking disdainful.

The steward stood aside, carefully watching His Majesty's expression and secretly complaining in his heart.

The corners of your mouth are almost raised to the sky!

But what he said was: "Your Majesty is right, but it is rare that the Seventh Prince is so filial to you, I think he also admires you."

The emperor nodded, "Let them in!"

The steward then trotted out and greeted the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, Hello, Seventh Prince. His Majesty is already waiting inside."

After saying this, he gestured for invitation.

The Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince walked into the hall and bowed to the emperor who was sitting on the throne, greeting him.

"My son has met my father!"

"Your son greets His Majesty!" Nancy looked at the prince's actions and followed his example, saluting to the emperor.

The emperor sitting on the throne couldn't help but watch as he looked at the seventh sister's appearance and the way she saluted.

Then I thought about how I had been in the Taoist temple all these years and the Taoist didn’t say anything.

"Get up!"

"What do you want to see me for?"

After Nancy stood up, she stood directly behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This action made the emperor confused.

What's the matter? Can he, as her father, eat her? Even if something really happened, does she think the prince can protect her?

The prince didn't know why, but his father's face seemed a little ugly.

He stepped forward and said, "Father, Xiao Qi missed you so much that I made some cakes for you to try."

After saying that, he turned sideways, revealing Nancy behind him.

Nancy originally wanted to secretly see what the emperor looked like, but she was suddenly exposed in front of the emperor.

When the prince saw this scene, he was so cute that he almost laughed out loud.

If he hadn't been looking at the wrong place, he would have really laughed.

I could only clench my fist, put it to my mouth and cough twice.

The emperor was sitting up there, and could see clearly the interaction between the two brothers.

I felt funny but also angry.

It's a joke that the prince in the palace has a little white rabbit who can be bullied by everyone.

Thinking of the seventh brother’s mother, he felt even more disgusted.

His son could even be trampled upon by a little slave girl.

"Bring it up!"

The chief eunuch opened the food box and placed two plates of dessert on the table. He tested the dessert with the silver needle in his sleeve before inviting His Majesty to taste it.

When Nancy saw this scene, a smile appeared on her lips.

Testing poison with silver needles is so funny. Some poisons cannot be detected by testing.

The emperor tried both and found them both novel and good.

He praised her generously with two words: "Not bad!"

Nancy looked at the emperor. He had already eaten the cake, so it wouldn't be too much for her to make a request!

Thinking of this, he looked eagerly at the emperor sitting on his seat.

The emperor felt ashamed to look at her pitiful appearance. He shuddered and looked at Nancy with a half-smile.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Nancy knelt on the ground with a plop, stuttering, thinking in her heart, the emperor is indeed the emperor, and her little tricks are nothing in front of him.

"Father, I do have something to ask you, but... but..."

The emperor listened to him for a long time but could not come up with any answer.

"Speak!" His tone was filled with murderous intent.

Nancy was desperate, "I want to wrestle with my father and fulfill my dream."

After saying that, he kowtowed to the floor.

The prince originally thought that Xiaoqi had started to think about his own interests and even began to use him.

He was originally disappointed and planned to stop caring about it in the future. He didn't want to create an ungrateful person in the future.

I didn't expect this guy to actually talk about arm wrestling.

It was still his dream.

The prince was too embarrassed to look at the fool lying on the ground.

Even the emperor stared at the seventh brother on the ground in disbelief, "That's all? Nothing else?"

Nancy lay on the ground. The pain in her head and knees made her almost cry.

Oh my god, this hurts so much.

"Yes! That's why I asked my brother the Crown Prince for help."

Nancy did not call the Crown Prince "Brother" in front of the Emperor, for fear that the higher-up would be unhappy and would implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

That's why I asked the prince for help.
