FID – Chapter 431

 Chapter 431: Chewed Swollen

  In the palace, the young Emperor was about to shake up the sky.

  ”Get lost! How dare you stop me!” Feng Mohan looked at the imperial guard, blockading him in front, and turned dark and sullen.

  ”Your Majesty, please forgive me!”

  ”I’ll chop off your head first, then forgive you!”

  ”Your Majesty, please forgive me. The King has left orders not to let Your Majesty leave the palace secretly, so please don’t make it difficult for this humble servant and the others!”

  The imperial guards seemed to be used to dealing with such scenes. When they couldn’t stand it, they would light up the King of Nanling’s name, and it had achieved the desired effect every time.

  But this time, the young Emperor wasn’t deterred by this. “The King has orders, but I’m still the Son of Heaven! My words don’t work at all, do they?”

  ”Your Majesty …”

  ”I want to leave the palace today. See who dares to stop me!” After saying that, he took huge strides towards the imperial guards troops that were blocking the front.

  The Son of Heaven was noble, and no one dared to really touch even an inch of him.

  Such a spectacle occured in front of Qiande Palace. The crackling boy was striding forward, while a neatly arranged team in front of him constantly moved backward, but never dispersed.

  A stalemate.

  Feng Mohan sneered. Just go. I don’t believe these guards will point their swords towards me.

  If it were normal times, when they habitually raised his Imperial Uncle’s name, he would have been persuaded.

  Today was different.

  Grandpa and Grandma were here in the capital!

  Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Liu, too.

  And Aunt Liu.

  All of them were his backers!

  Could five big mountains not withstand the power of his Imperial Uncle?

  What was he afraid of?

  If it wasn’t for his Imperial Uncle’s refusal to take him out of the palace, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to tear his face off.

  With this, ministers would definitely submit memorials early tomorrow morning and say that he was capricious.

  It was all his Imperial Uncle’s fault.

  The farce in Qiande Palace soon spread to Qingning Palace.

  At this time, Consort Liu was lying on the soft collapsible, suffering from spring sleepiness.

  Hearing the report, she opened her eyes and laughed sarcastically: “His Majesty is going out of the palace? He wants to go to the King of Nanling’s Manor, right?”

  A granny replied, “Whenever the Emperor leaves the palace, there is no other place he could go except the King of Nanling’s Manor. It’s most likely related to the several people who entered the manor today.”

  ”The Liu family from Xinghua Village.” Consort Liu hummed lightly: “It seems that the Emperor has a special attachment to this family. Otherwise, how could he have the guts to disobey the orders of His Highness.”

  ”The Emperor’s friendship with the Liu family is not good for you, Consort.”

  ”How is it not a good thing? If he is friendly with that family, it’s the same as being friendly with the Liu family in the capital,” Consort Liu drawled, “Since they have come to my family’s territory, send a message to the Liu family’s patriarch, Momo. Let him invite the Liu family from Xinghua Village as their guests. The families should recognize each other earlier.”

  After receiving the order, the granny went out and instructed the servants to run the errand.

  Consort Liu gently tapped the side of her leg. The corner of her lips hooked up, but her eyes glinted coldly.

  The Liu family of Xinghua Village.

  She had sent waves of spies previously to dig information about their family, but everyone disappeared without returning.

  Now that they had come to the capital, she wanted to see what these people were capable of to fight against her.

  They were just a group of ignorant country bumpkins. Without Feng Qingbai’s shelter, how many of her moves could they withstand?

  Throughout the walk, Feng Mohan forced the imperial guards to the gate of the palace. Finally, he found an opportunity to break out of the heavy siege.

  The imperial guard commander stamped his feet in chagrin at the back.

  His Highness had specifically instructed them to handle the matter properly. Seemed like they’d have to be punished later.

  In the past, as long as the King’s name was brought up, the Emperor would obediently give in. So, what wrong medicine had he taken today, to the extent that he dared to disregard even the King’s orders?

  Regardless of whether the imperial guards would be punished or not, Feng Mohan rushed out and darted to the King of Nanling’s Manor.

  There was no royal carriage to pick him up in front of the palace gate, and the palace carriage couldn’t be used. Otherwise, those stubborn hurdles would immediately surround him again.

  He could only rely on stretching his legs.

  He had still to reach the King of Nanling’s Manor, but the mere sight of the manor’s lacquer plaque from afar singed him with excitement.

  While running, he shouted, “Grandpa, Grandma, Xiao Feng’er has come to see you! Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, Aunt Liu! I’m coming!”

  The concierge of the royal residence almost prostrated to the ground.

  Your Majesty, stop shouting like that. Even if you want to shout, you should also wait until you enter the manor, right?

  You’re so loud. If someone with hidden motives hears you, many people will be beheaded!

  The concierge wanted to die so badly.

  What kind of person was the Emperor? He was the noblest child of the royal family, the ruler of the whole Nanling!

  How dared he call others grandpa and grandma?

  If the late Emperor were to hear it, he would probably jump out of his royal tomb.

  The youngster cheered and entered the manor, and after asking a servant where the elders of the Liu family were staying, he marched straight to the courtyard next to the Liuyun Pavilion.

  After resting for two hours, the Liu elders had already woken up, unaccustomed to sleep for so long during the day. They had just gotten out of their rooms and gathered in the living room of the courtyard.

  They heard a distant shouting outside the courtyard, and after listening carefully, they looked at each other.

  ”This voice sounds familiar. Isn’t it Xiao Feng’er’s?” Liu Dalin wasn’t too sure. The voice was still far away and very indistinct.

  ”But Xiao Feng’er … is in the palace. How can he just come out?” Grandpa Liu immediately denied the idea.

  ”Great Grandpa —— Great Grandma —— Great Grandpa Liu —— Great Grandma Liu —— Aunt Liu!”

  The long-pitched shout echoed much closer, and this time it was clear.

  Chen Xiulan exclaimed, “It really is Xiao Feng’er!”

  ”That’s right. It’s him. Who else but him calls me Great Grandma?” Grandma Liu slapped her thighs, stood up and went outside the courtyard to welcome him. She also raised her voice, “Xiao Feng’er, have you come? Hurry up and come in. Grandma is here!”

  A little cannonball flew and rushed straight into the old lady’s arms, knocking her backward and making her stagger. Then the little boy in her arms embraced her.

  ”Grandma, I missed you so much!”

  ”Aiyo, you’re really Xiao Feng’er! Let me have a look. You’ve returned here for a long time and have grown a lot. You’ve gained a lot of weight!”

  Feng Mohan tilted his face and immediately cried, “Great Grandma, that’s not fat. It’s chewing on the cakes you made that made my cheeks swollen.”

  ”…”

  ”Pfft!”

  ”Hahahahaha!”

  The three people in the living room who heard the conversation between the granny and youngster could not help but break out in laughter.

  Laughing themselves to tears.

  Gnawing on a pancake made his face swollen? It was indeed him.

  How many exactly did he chew to achieve this feat?

  Feng Mohan hugged the old lady back into the living room, hugged Grandpa Liu next, and acted like a spoiled child with Mr. and Mrs. Liu.

  ”Grandpa, Grandma, when you make cakes next year, please don’t send so many here. I’ve been chewing such big three packs for more than two months!”

  In order not to waste their thoughts, he held his bladder and chewed them as long as he was awake, as long as his cheeks weren’t sore, or his teeth didn’t hurt.

  His Imperial Uncle did not allow him to stay in front of his desk because he was too noisy.

  With Feng Mohan around, the whole courtyard wasn’t so deserted.

  He went blah-blah-blah, until they went to the front yard hall at dinner time. Still, he showed no sign of resting.

  When Feng Mohan saw Liu Yusheng coming in with Feng Qingbai, he wanted to rush to give Aunt Liu a bear hug, but ended up turning his heels and leaning back to Grandma Liu.

  He should hug the backer closest to him first.
