After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 337 Please
The emperor was stunned for just a moment before coming to his senses.

At this time, Concubine Luo also noticed the emperor's presence and saluted silently.

The emperor waved his hand casually, then his eyes fell on Niu Niu, the Queen Mother's words "the joy of being a parent" echoing in his mind.

The little girl held the brush in her hand, and regardless of the noise around her, she continued to write the big characters seriously, as if what was happening before her was the most important thing in the world.

Niu Niu didn't stop until she finished writing the whole page. She carefully looked at the big words she had written and sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Niu Niu stood up and saluted the emperor.

The emperor bent down and stretched out his hand to help the little girl up. He didn't know why, but he couldn't stand seeing Niu Niu bowing to him.

Niuniu answered the emperor's question: "I have been writing for so long, but my handwriting has not improved much. I am afraid that when I go home and let my father see it, he will be disappointed."

The emperor could naturally hear that Niu Niu was afraid that Gu Mingda would be disappointed, not that she would be beaten. It was obvious that the girl cared about Gu Mingda very much.

The emperor felt a little annoyed and asked casually, "What do you think is wrong?"

The emperor took two steps to the stone table and looked at the pile of big characters on the table.

Niu Niu's handwriting was not particularly good, but at her age, the emperor thought it was very good. At least it looked very neat.

But Niuniu herself was not satisfied. She pointed at one of the characters and said, "Your Majesty, look, the characters I wrote are empty and have no spirit. They are soft and flabby."

The emperor laughed and said, "How old are you? Only six years old. You will be fine when you are older."

Lady Luo opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but in the end she held back.

Niuniu just happened to raise her head, and seeing Lady Luo's hesitation to speak, she asked, "Sister Beauty, do you think there's something wrong?"

The emperor also looked at Concubine Luo as Niu Niu said.

Judging from this face alone, Concubine Luo is one of the best in the entire harem. The emperor is also a normal man and naturally likes such a pleasing face. However, he just thinks that the imperial concubine does not like Concubine Luo.

Even though the emperor knew that Concubine Luo had done nothing wrong, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Lady Luo smiled and said, "My dear, His Majesty is right. You feel that your handwriting is weak now because you are still young and your hands are weak. If you want to practice writing well as soon as possible, you should actually strengthen your strength."

Niuniu immediately asked, "Sister, how can I strengthen myself? Should I eat more? Five meals a day? And more snacks?"

The emperor and Concubine Luo couldn't help laughing when they saw Niu Niu's greedy look.

When Niuniu saw their reaction, disappointment immediately appeared in her black and white eyes: "Isn't that so? Then what is it?"

The emperor smiled and said, "When I was young, my teacher had someone tie a sandbag to my wrist when I was practicing calligraphy. Only after such a long time did my calligraphy have a certain elegance."

Niuniu couldn't help but ask, "How heavy is the sandbag?"

"It starts at one jin, and then slowly goes up." The emperor said. Niuniu frowned, and then looked at Luo Meiren expectantly.

Lady Luo smiled and said, "My mother taught me another method. Hold an egg in your hand and squeeze it from time to time. Doing this for a long time can slowly increase your strength, but it is definitely not as effective as your Majesty's method."

Niuniu chose to endure the lesser suffering rather than the greater suffering. She even asked, "If I grab a boiled egg and get tired of grabbing it, can I just eat it directly?"

The emperor laughed again and said, "Little girl, you really think about eating all the time!"

Niuniu replied confidently: "Eating and drinking are the most important things in life! If a person doesn't think about eating, is he still a human being?"

At first glance, the little girl's casual remark seemed to be fine, but when the emperor listened carefully, he found it quite reasonable. He recalled belatedly that the testimonies of the five little girls all mentioned that Mr. Wu could not win the argument with Niu Niu.

"You are so sharp-tongued. I'm afraid if you find a husband in the future, you will quarrel with him every day!" When the emperor said this, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but wonder, did he really treat Niuniu as his daughter? He was just like those fathers in the folks who were reluctant to marry off their daughters.

The emperor actually once thought that if he had a daughter who was reluctant to marry her off, the worst that could happen was that he would follow the example of Beigong Yingying and raise her in the palace and never marry.

He didn't expect that not only he but also Gu Mingda loved his daughter so much.

"My dad said that if I can't find a suitable husband in the future, I don't have to get married! I don't want to quarrel with a stranger!" Niu Niu said righteously.

When the emperor heard Niuniu mention Gu Mingda, he suddenly had an idea and asked, "When you were at home, was your father teaching you your studies?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously and said, "My dad taught me very well! I love him the most!"

The emperor felt aggrieved again. He lowered his head to look at the big characters written by Niu Niu on the table. The teacher was not watching over her and did not assign any homework, but Niu Niu knew to practice writing big characters on her own initiative. It was obvious that Gu Mingda had indeed taught the child well.

"What do you think if your father came to the palace to teach you?" asked the emperor.

When Niuniu heard this, she was so excited that her eyes lit up like stars in the sky: "Really? Can I really see Daddy every day? Then I will study hard!"

The emperor was even more jealous. He didn't have any children of his own, but now he was witnessing the deep bond between other people's fathers and daughters.

Seeing that the emperor had been silent for a long time, Niuniu immediately grabbed his sleeve and began to pester him: "Uncle Emperor, you are the best person. Niuniu likes you the most. Please, let my dad come in and be a teacher! I really want to see my dad every day!"

Few people could bear the cute little girl's coquettish voice. Luo Meiren, who was watching from the side, wished she could follow Niu Niu and help beg for mercy.

The emperor enjoyed this feeling very much and deliberately pretended to be thinking.

The more this happened, the more positive Niu Niu became.

She picked up the teapot and cup on the stone table, poured out a cup of tea diligently, and brought it to the emperor pitifully: "Uncle Emperor, this tea is warm and can be drunk directly! You have just said so much, you must be thirsty."

The emperor took the tea but did not drink it immediately. Instead, he said, "Is it just tea? I am a little hungry too."

Without any hesitation, the little girl trotted back into her room, then brought a handful of snacks to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, these are delicious. Come and try them!"

Beigong Yingying refers to a filial daughter who does not marry and stays at home to take care of her parents. [Source]: "Strategies of the Warring States: Qi Strategies IV": "Is Beigong's daughter Yingying's son all right? She has taken off her rings and ornaments, and has not married until old age to take care of her parents. She is a filial daughter who leads the people. Why has she not come to court until now?"
