Chapter 363 World 613
The next day, Yinyin got up early to pay her respects to the Empress. The Empress said, "The first day is fine. You are so young, there is nothing serious, so you don't need to get up so early."
Yinyin originally wanted to say that etiquette should not be abandoned, but seeing the Empress's serious expression, she thought about it and agreed.
After breakfast, the Empress told Yin Yin that she could go wherever she wanted and that Bi Kong could arrange it, and then she did not keep her any longer.
However, Yin Yin noticed that shortly after she left, the Empress also left the main hall and went to the east wing.
In fact, Yin Yin had already noticed the incense smoke coming from the east wing, but she hadn't had the chance to ask about it.
Seeing her curiosity, and fearing that she was too young to explain clearly and something might happen later, Bikong said, "After the Crown Prince left, the Empress turned the east wing into a place of worship. She would also copy some scriptures there and burn them for the Crown Prince."
"If Her Majesty doesn't bring it up, Princess, please don't mention this matter in front of Her Majesty."
Having resolved her doubts, Yin Yin naturally wouldn't dare to offend the Empress.
She has nothing to do when she gets back, so she can only lie down and practice her skills.
Because she was thinking about what the emperor had said yesterday about granting her father additional land, she said she wanted to go to the Zichen Palace.
Upon hearing this, Bikong immediately sent someone to the Zichen Palace to inquire. After obtaining the emperor's permission, he then summoned a servant woman to carry Yinyin over.
Yinyin's timing was unfortunate. There hadn't been any trouble with the Emperor earlier, but when she arrived, the head eunuch stepped forward with a fawning smile and said, "Greetings, Princess. Princess, the Left Prime Minister just went in. If you wish to see His Majesty, you'll have to wait a while."
"Why don't you move to the side hall first, rest a bit, and have some refreshments? After the Left Prime Minister leaves, I'll go in and report to him."
Yinyin nodded and was about to follow him when she heard a loud "crack" from inside the hall, the sound of something breaking on the ground, followed by the emperor's furious shout: "How dare you!"
Hearing this commotion, the head eunuch's expression changed. He was unsure whether to push the door open and go in, or pretend he knew nothing and continue leading Yinyin to the side hall.
He hesitated, but Yin Yin did not.
Yinyin took a few steps forward and kicked the door open. The door, which was originally closed, creaked open.
Everyone outside could clearly see that the Left Prime Minister was standing next to the Emperor, holding the Emperor's hand that held the Imperial Seal, forcefully trying to compel him to use the seal.
All the palace servants and eunuchs lowered their heads. The emperor's face turned red and white in turns, but the Left Prime Minister seemed unaffected and continued with his previous actions.
Seeing this, Yin Yin took advantage of the fact that Bi Kong and the others were not paying attention and ran into the hall in a few steps. With a glance, she saw a red sandalwood paperweight on the table placed far to the side.
Yinyin grabbed a paperweight and threw it at the Left Prime Minister's head: "I'll teach you to bully Uncle Emperor!"
"Snapped!"
Before anyone could react, the paperweight struck the Left Prime Minister squarely on the forehead, causing him to feel dizzy and fall to the ground.
He covered his forehead in a daze, saw the red blood dripping in front of him, his eyes rolled upwards, and he collapsed.
"Wow," the emperor looked at the Left Prime Minister lying on the ground, then at Yin Yin who was still glaring angrily at the Left Prime Minister, quickly put down the imperial seal in his hand, picked up Yin Yin like a treasure, and called to the chief eunuch who was still outside.
"You dog of a servant, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and have someone carry the Left Prime Minister back, and find an imperial physician to take a look at him!"
"The Left Prime Minister is really too delicate. Yin Yin is so young. He was only lightly touched with a paperweight, how could he faint?"
Uncle Emperor is really good with words.
Yinyin almost lost control of her expression.
The head eunuch outside looked up and glanced inside, suppressing the scream that was about to escape his lips, and quickly ordered people to carry the person away.
Just as the emperor was holding Yinyin in the corner, watching the room full of people scrambling around, a soft, feminine voice rang out: "It's so lively, our family has arrived at just the right time."
"Hiss," the emperor gasped and took another step back.
Yin Yin looked towards the door, puzzled, and saw a man dressed even better than the head eunuch... who should also be a eunuch, walk in from outside.
He was fair-skinned and beardless, but his face was quite handsome.
"Master Feng," the head eunuch said with a smile, "what brings you here?"
"If you were looking for the Left Prime Minister, you're in for a bad time. He was bumped and hit his head, and he's passed out. His Majesty is ordering that he be carried back."
When Feng Changgong saw the appearance of the Left Prime Minister, he raised his eyebrows and smiled with interest. Finally, he turned to the Emperor and Yinyin and said, "I originally heard that the Left Prime Minister was practicing nepotism and was planning to appoint his good-for-nothing youngest son as the governor, so I came to advise Your Majesty."
"Now that it hasn't worked out, let it be."
Then he added, “His Majesty is busy with many affairs of state and cannot be without someone by his side. Why don’t we take care of the matter of escorting the Left Chancellor out of the palace?”
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Of course, of course," the emperor lied through his teeth. "If the Left Chancellor knew, he would surely be grateful for Eunuch Feng's kindness and be moved to tears."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Feng's face twitched, as if he had swallowed a fly and felt extremely uncomfortable. But when he looked at the Left Prime Minister lying on the ground, he smiled again, waved his hand, and several more people entered from outside.
These people were clearly much more trusted and less restrained than the people around the emperor.
They lifted the Left Prime Minister up in a few quick movements, letting his head tilt back, not even bothering to help him up.
Seeing that everyone had left, Eunuch Feng gave a perfunctory bow and followed them out.
After everyone had left, the emperor waved for the hesitant head eunuch and others to leave, leaving only Yinyin sitting with him.
"Yinyin, how dare you lay a hand on the Left Prime Minister just now? He is the Left Prime Minister!"
"What happened to the Left Prime Minister again?" Yin Yin tilted her head cutely. "He dared to bully Uncle Emperor and make you do things you didn't want to do. Shouldn't he be punished?"
"Of course!" the emperor said decisively, his smile particularly bright.
However, after laughing, he became a little worried: "But when the Left Prime Minister wakes up, he will definitely come to make trouble for you. Yinyin, after you go back to Fengyi Palace, don't go out for the next few months. He can't just rush into Fengyi Palace to find you."
Yin Yin feigned confusion: "The Left Prime Minister is clearly delicate and frail; he fell over with just a light tap. Why would I avoid him?"
"He's got the nerve to take down a five-year-old like me?"
