After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Tang Rui rolled her eyes at her and spread her hands: "If you don't have it, you don't have it. This princess isn't very interested."

There are plenty of fish in the sea, and I'm sure many handsome men will fall at her feet in the future.

After all, with such a handsome father, she's bound to be good-looking in the future, and with such a prestigious status, why would she care about a little Gu Nanyu?

Laugh to death!

Perhaps the master and servant were discussing too intensely, for Situ Qiang heard the noise and looked over sharply: "Who's there!"

Miaozhu was so frightened that she immediately shrank back.

Tang Rui was a step too slow and was caught red-handed by Situ Qiang.

"It's you again!" Situ Qiang gets angry whenever she sees Tang Rui, feeling that Tang Rui was sent by heaven to bring her bad luck: "Tang Rui, have you no shame? You were eavesdropping on my conversation with Brother Gu."

Miaozhu felt a little ashamed.

They did eavesdrop, which was rather unethical.

Tang Rui, unburdened by such concerns, stood with her hands on her hips and retorted confidently, "What eavesdropping? I was just passing by. You can't expect me to walk with my ears covered, can you? Besides, if you two want to whisper, you should find a secluded spot with a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door! Why are you saying it where everyone's passing by?"

"You... Hmph... I can't be bothered to talk to you. You're so young, yet you already know how to steal other women's men. Shameless!"

Situ Qiang had learned her lesson and knew that Tang Rui was sharp-tongued and she couldn't win an argument with her, so she threw down an unpleasant remark and left.

Tang Rui: "??"

Miaozhu understood for a moment, then whispered, "Princess, she wouldn't be saying... you stole Young Master Gu, would she?"

"..." I guess so.

Tang Rui was so angry at this little brat that she laughed.

How come these little radishes, who haven't even grown any fuzz yet, are so precocious?

She's only five years old!

How heartless and perverted must Situ Qiang be to believe that she and Gu Nanyu are having an affair?

"That mentally unhealthy and despicable brat!" Tang Rui was now hoping that her Gu would be ready soon, so that she could make Situ Qiang suffer!

After this incident, Tang Rui also became a little unhappy with Gu Nanyu.

I ignored him all morning!

At noon, even though Gu Nanyu sat down next to her with his lunchbox as usual, she tugged at Situ An's sleeve and switched places with him.

Gu Nanyu: "..." He glanced at Tang Rui, then silently looked at Situ An!

Situ An shuddered, rubbing his arms. "What's wrong with you two? Can't you talk this out? Don't put pressure on me!"

"I'd like to know too!" Gu Nanyu said calmly, walking around to the other side and sitting down next to Tang Rui. "Princess Zhaohua, let's not beat around the bush. Have I offended you in any way?"

"Sigh..." Tang Rui knew that she had been taking her anger out on others without thinking.

In truth, Gu Nanyu was completely innocent; it was Situ Qiang who was the one who was insane.

Situ Tan glanced at their expressions and said, "Zhaohua, did Gu Nanyu bully you? Tell me, and your uncle and I will stand up for you."

"It's not his fault..." Tang Rui scratched the back of her head, completely forgetting that she had just picked up braised chicken wings and her little hands were all greasy.

With that grab, even the back of his head was smudged with oil: "It's Situ Qiang..."

Tang Rui recounted everything that had just happened, emphasizing that she was only five years old when Situ Qiang treated her as a rival in love.

Situ An stared in disbelief, his face filled with disbelief: "No way, is Situ Qiang out of her mind?"

Gu Nanyu was speechless. He took out his handkerchief and wiped her hands, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to drag you into this."

Situ Tan said, "Zhaohua, Nanyu is only eleven years old. How could he understand these things? This matter has nothing to do with him."

Although many families have arranged marriages between children, it's just an engagement.

Like him, his mother has recently been showing him potential wives.

He found a bunch of portraits of little girls from various families who were not much older than him for him to choose from, and planned to get married as soon as he turned sixteen.

When he looked through the portraits of the little girls from various families, he only felt a little novel, or that some little girls were very cute, or that some little girls were very chubby, like white steamed buns.

It's impossible for me to have any romantic feelings for the opposite sex.

"I know, I'm just a little angry..." But once Situ Qiang calmed down, she didn't want to start a fight.

That's why I couldn't help but give Gu Nanyu the cold shoulder.

Tang Rui admitted her mistake immediately after realizing it, and apologized right away: "Gu Nanyu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken my emotions out on you."

Gu Nanyu was quite understanding: "It's only human nature, there's no need to apologize, this isn't your fault."

"Situ Qiang is such a troublemaker." Situ Anxian picked up on Tang Rui's words and said angrily, "I have to complain! I'll tell Father Emperor about this when I get back to the palace."

"Forget it..." Tang Rui forgot about it after she got over her anger: "Let's not bother Grandpa Huang. He'll just disgust me a little, it's not a big deal."

Emperors don't have it easy; they're constantly dealing with conflicts between their juniors.

Time and time again, even the emperor with the best temper would get annoyed.

Once she's finished refining the Gu, I'll feed Situ Qiang a powerful one to teach her a lesson.

"Zhaohua is right. Little Imperial Uncle, don't trouble Grandfather anymore. If Situ Qiang talks nonsense again, just put on your elder's airs and put her in her place," Situ Tan said.

"Oh!" Situ An agreed.

however…

After school, on his way back to the palace, he happened to see the emperor with his mother.

When Consort Gao saw her son, a motherly smile appeared in her eyes: "An'er, you're back. Did you listen carefully to Scholar Zhou's lectures at the Imperial Academy today?"

The emperor sneered, "He's just a mischievous monkey. Scholar Zhou has complained to me several times, saying that he either talks to Zhaohua or sleeps during class. Zhaohua is intelligent; she can learn even without listening. And you? You have no self-awareness whatsoever."

Consort Gao frowned slightly upon hearing this, her face full of disapproval: "An'er, have you forgotten what your mother told you?"

"Father, Mother, please stop talking about me. I'm disgusted to death by Situ Qiang."

Situ An sat down next to the emperor angrily and tugged at his dragon sleeve: "Father, can you please tell Situ Qiang not to go to the Imperial Academy? She bullies Zhaohua every day, she's almost driving Zhaohua crazy."

The emperor's face turned cold upon hearing this: "What has happened to her this time?"

If it were any other son, seeing the emperor with such an expression, he would have already knelt down in fear and trembling.

But Situ An was not afraid. In his eyes, the Emperor was his father and would never do anything to him!

Situ An curled his lip and told the emperor everything. Then he added, "Zhaohua told me not to tell you, saying you're too busy with state affairs and don't want to bother you with the squabbles between the younger generation. But I'm just so angry! Zhaohua is only five years old, yet Situ Qiang can say such vile things. It shows how despicable she is. Wouldn't someone like that corrupt the atmosphere of the Imperial Academy?"
