Chapter 312 I am also happy
Li Shunfu looked at the clear eyes of the little girl in front of him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

In the end, he could only say coldly, "You have to call me Manager Li."

Niuniu nodded and said obediently, "Uncle Manager Li!"

When Li Shunfu heard this, his expression almost cracked: "I'm fifty-six! I'm older than your father!"

Niuniu changed her words on the spot: "Uncle Li, the chief steward."

Even a person like Li Shunfu who takes his time in doing things was forced into a corner by Niuniu: "I'm not asking you to call me uncle!"

"If calling me uncle isn't okay, should I call me grandpa? Grandpa Manager Li?" Niu Niu asked in a crisp voice.

Li Shunfu was so confused after struggling with the girl for so long that he could only say, "Forget it, just yell whatever you want!"

Niuniu immediately looked obedient: "Uncle Manager, I'll still call you that, because you look much younger than my grandfather."

Li Shunfu's face was full of displeasure, but he still let Niuniu pull his sleeve.

"Uncle steward, this sister didn't make the mistake on purpose. You are a very kind person. Can you give her a lighter punishment?" Niu Niu asked in a low voice.

Niu Niu wanted to plead for the little palace maid. When she was at home, every time she pleaded for Gu Zhao, she would first say a few nice words. Now she was just trying it out, and she didn't know whether Li Shunfu would buy it or not.

Li Shunfu glanced at Niuniu, then looked at the greasy sheen on the ground, and said to the little palace maid, "Since you didn't do it on purpose, but you were still careless, I'll punish you by slapping your face ten times."

The little maid had not expected such a pleasant surprise, and she immediately kowtowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your forgiveness, and thank you, young lady, for your intercession. I am very grateful!"

Li Shunfu turned around again and said to Niuniu unhappily, "If you do something wrong, you must be punished. You can't just let it go. Otherwise, no one will work seriously in the future. You are not allowed to beg for mercy anymore!"

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "I remember. Thank you, uncle. I knew you were the best!"

When Li Shunfu heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he still said unhappily: "Little girl, you are so sharp-tongued!"

Niu Niu let go of Li Shunfu's sleeve and returned to the team.

Li Shunfu looked down at his empty sleeves, the corners of his mouth drooped unconsciously, but he said nothing in the end.

In the main hall of Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother sat leisurely on the upper floor, complaining to the Princess: "They are just a few little girls. You are not happy to see them in the side hall, but you have to meet them in the main hall."

The eldest princess said, "Mother, when opening the door to receive blessings, the more solemn it is, the better."

The Queen Mother said nothing more, but she knew that the eldest princess' words were just an excuse. In the final analysis, it was also to raise the status of the girls so that they would not be looked down upon by other people in the palace.

At this time, Li Shunfu walked in respectfully with the little girls.

"Kneel!" Li Shunfu shouted.

A palace maid had already come forward with six cushions and presented them to the little girls.

Originally this arrangement was very appropriate, but there were only five children on six cushions, and the Queen Mother and the eldest princess couldn't help but frown.

Li Shunfu has always been good at observing people's expressions and he immediately stepped forward to explain.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and said, "I wonder if someone spilled some oil at the door?"

Li Shunfu immediately responded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely find out the truth about this matter."

The Queen Mother said casually: "Never mind, nothing serious happened after all."

Coincidentally, at this moment, Miss Li San changed her clothes as quickly as possible and came to pay her a visit.

Listening to the palace servants reporting that Miss Li San wanted to see her, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, waved her hand, and said, "Forget it, such a coincidence has happened to her, she doesn't have to come to see me, just go directly to Concubine Li's palace."

The Queen Mother was indeed influenced by the words of the Princess. Although it meant opening the door to welcome good fortune, Miss Li San, who encountered such a thing as soon as she entered the door, was instantly labeled as unlucky in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

Li Shunfu heard this and backed out. "Eunuch, the Queen Mother really doesn't want to see me?" Miss Li San asked in disbelief.

Li Shunfu said: "Miss, you are no different from others. The Imperial Concubine is your aunt. It is most appropriate for you to enter the palace and be raised with her."

No matter how Li Shunfu tried to whitewash the Queen Mother's words, Miss Li San's face looked as pale as death.

She couldn't understand why she was sent away as she had just arrived and hadn't even seen anyone. It was the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's idea for her to enter the palace.

If this matter gets out, won't people say she is unlucky again!
Miss Li San pulled Li Shunfu's sleeve and said, "Please say something good for me, sir. I must pay my respects to the Queen Mother..."

Li Shunfu pulled back his sleeves, and even refused to accept the purse that Miss Li San secretly stuffed in his hand. He only said, "Miss Li San, the Queen Mother has made the decision, and I am not in a position to speak up. Why don't you go ask the Imperial Concubine?"

After saying this, Li Shunfu turned around and went back into the hall.

Miss Li San stamped her feet in anger and cursed under her breath, "Eunuch!"
She didn't notice at all that while she was speaking, a young eunuch trotted past her in a hurry.

At this time in the main hall, the Queen Mother waved her hand, and the five little girls who had just knelt down stood up.

They had all been taught the rules by their families in advance that they were not allowed to look up casually when meeting an important person. At this moment, they looked straight ahead and could only see the scene a few steps ahead.

In Niu Niu's sight, she saw a hint of navy blue clothing and a pair of sky blue boots embroidered with intricate patterns.

The empress dowager casually glanced at the five little girls, and when her eyes fell on Niu Niu, her gaze fixed.

"Mother, you also think this child is cute, right?" the eldest princess said from the side.

The Queen Mother felt that she could not see clearly, so she said to Niuniu, "Come here."

Niu Niu didn't look at her directly, so she didn't know that she was being spoken to.

The eldest princess quickly reminded: "Niuniu, the Queen Mother asked you to come closer!"

The Queen Mother glanced at her daughter.

Niu Niu walked forward a few steps obediently, still not daring to get too close.

"Mother, do you think she is particularly lovable?" The eldest princess praised Niu Niu to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother looked at the little girl, who looked as lovely as a ball of white snow, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she still praised her, "She is worthy of being the daughter of the top scholar. At such a young age, she has an auspicious appearance of being smart and beautiful."

The eldest princess observed her mother's expression and felt relieved when she saw that her mother seemed to be sincere in saying this.

"Come closer and let me take a good look at you." The Queen Mother still felt that she couldn't see you clearly enough.

The eldest princess looked at her mother in surprise. If she got any closer, that would definitely not be a safe social distance.

Niu Niu could only take a few more steps forward.

"Look up." The Queen Mother said softly.

Niu Niu raised her head slightly, and it was the first time she saw the Queen Mother's appearance.

The Queen Mother looked at her with even greater surprise in her eyes.

"How old are you now? Have you ever been to school?" asked the Queen Mother.

Niuniu answered obediently: "To answer the Queen Mother's question, I am six years old this year. I haven't read many books, and my father is still teaching me how to read."

The princess reminded him, "Good boy, when you talk to the Queen Mother, you must call yourself a servant, and you cannot call her Grandma."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Good child, why do you need to learn all those red tape? She wants to call me that, and I am happy to hear it."
