After Transmigrating into a Book, My Father Emperor Could Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 16 - 18

16

My canonization caused an uproar. As everyone knows, my father is very stingy when it comes to granting ranks.

Even the Empress summoned me several times and made my short legs very tired.

Today, the Empress summoned me again.

My view of the Empress is quite good. Although she used to be indifferent to me, she never stopped her two sons from taking care of me.

That’s right, Eldest Imperial Brother and Third Imperial Brother are both the Empress’ sons.

When I entered the Cining Palace, the Empress was sitting on the couch with a smile.

It turned out that Eldest Brother is also here today.

I took out the skin care products I made and presented them with my little hands.

It has to be said that the ancient earth is extremely good and rich in resources. The materials for anti-aging creams that were hard to find in my previous life are all available here.

“Hexiao, what is this?”

I stepped forward to pay respects and said, “Mother Empress, this is the skin care product made by daughter myself.”

The Empress smiled happily and handed the skin care product to her personal maid. I know that before the Empress can use it, the palace maid needs to try it out for a few days first.

I also attached a list of ingredients inside to facilitate inspection by the imperial physician.

“You are really thoughtful. It was your Eldest Brother who asked you to come here today.”

Oh?

I really didn’t expect this.

Eldest Brother looked at me with a smile, touched my head gently and said, “Father Emperor said I’m too lifeless and ask me to chat and play with Sister Hexiao more, instead of always reading book.”

The Empress also nodded in agreement. The most lively person in the entire palace is Hexiao.

Although I was surprised, I quickly accepted the fact that I now had a “little follower.”

“Then Eldest Brother, let’s get out of the palace!”

Our request to leave the palace was quickly approved. As we left the city, Eldest Brother couldn’t help but ask me: “Sister, why don’t we just play in the capital?”

Of course we wouldn’t play in the capital. This eldest brother of mine had never stepped out of his comfort zone and was extremely well protected.

“Eldest Brother, today sister will take you to play something different.”

I smiled innocently.

Eldest Brother nodded thoughtfully.

The carriage swayed for one shichen1 before we finally arrived at the destination I mentioned.

In this place, there lives a man as genius as Zhuge Liang. The book said that because the Second Imperial Brother failed to win over him several times, he sent people to destroy his whole family.

The carriage arrived at the village, Scholar Village.

Because the scholar Yu Tongyan lives here, the village was renamed after him (scholar).

I was held by Eldest Imperial Brother’s hand and stepped out of the carriage. Then, we went straight to Yu Tongyan’s home.

An aunt was washing clothes in front of the house.

When she saw a group of people dressed luxuriously approaching, she nervously rubbed her hands and cautiously came forward.

I hurriedly said before Eldest Brother could speak: “Auntie, I am playing outside with my brother and my back is really sore. Can auntie let us stay here for a night?”

The aunt smiled and said, “Of course I can. There is a vacant room at our home. Noblemen, please come in.”

Then she turned her head facing the house and shouted: “Son, There are noble people staying at our home. Come and greet the noble people!”

A young man opened the door and walked out.

It’s him, Yu Tongyan.

At night, I had a separate room, while my eldest brother and Yu Tongyan lived together.

After Eldest Brother and I finished eating, I whispered to my eldest brother quietly: “This young man is a talented person, Eldest Brother, you have to grasp him.” Eldest brother looked at me in surprise. I stretched my body and went back to my room.

After saying that, the rest was up to Eldest Brother.

That night, I slept soundly on the farmhouse bed.

In the morning, when I got up, my eldest brother and Yu Tongyan were having a very harmonious discussion.

I was also very satisfied.

As soon as auntie saw me getting up, she quickly made breakfast.

At the dining table, the two still couldn’t stop discussing. It felt like they admired each other.

After breakfast, I dragged my eldest brother to auntie’s farmland.

Yu Tongyan also followed behind.

Eldest Brother looked at me blankly after I stuffed a hoe in his hand.

I let out a long sigh and said, “Eldest Brother, have you ever heard the story of an emperor who asked ‘why don’t you eat minced meat’?” Yu Tongyan also listened up.

I slowly said: “There was once an emperor who asked his attendants: ‘The people have no corn to satisfy their hunger, so why not they just eat minced meat?’ Such stupidity shows that it is inappropriate to make judgments without you personally experience it yourself. Now eldest brother should also go to the fields yourself and feel the hard work of the people when farming.”

As for me, of course I would watch him doing it.

The two of them suddenly realized, and Yu Tongyan looked at me with admiration.

“Brother Qi, although your little sister is only six years old, she has a very admirable character!”

Eldest Brother also said proudly: “My sister is always the smartest.”

After that, the two of them went to work in the fields together, making auntie and uncle very frightened.

My eldest brother is also a strong-willed person. Although he almost couldn’t straighten up his back after only a few sticks of incense, he still finished the farm work firmly until nightfall.

When the night came, Eldest Brother couldn’t help but sigh: “It turns out that ordinary people live like this every day.”
