Chapter 366 World 616
However, to everyone's surprise, Eunuch Feng took the initiative to ask, "I heard that just now, because of a personal grudge, the Left Chancellor stopped His Majesty from mentioning anything?"
The emperor quickly seized the opportunity and nodded.
“This Left Chancellor,” Feng Changgong’s smugness hadn’t faded when he deliberately sighed, “His Majesty is His Majesty after all. Even though he is the Chancellor, how could he do such a thing?”
"What did Your Majesty just mention?"
Before the emperor could speak, a royalist said, "Your Majesty intends to bestow the title of Princess of Shu upon the daughter of the Prince of Zhen, and to change the title of Prince of Zhen to Prince of Shu, in charge of the Bashu region."
Yinyin glanced at the minister who had spoken. Changing the order of events could change quite a few things.
“I thought it was something important,” Feng Changgong laughed. “The princess of Shu stood up to protect His Majesty when the Left Chancellor was pressing him step by step, so she deserves to be rewarded.”
"I wonder which part of Shu you intend to allocate as a fiefdom to the princess of Shu?"
The emperor began, "Originally, I intended to use the entire Shu region..."
The royalist ministers quickly tried to defend the emperor: "Of course we can't give all of Shu to the Shu princess now, otherwise wouldn't the title of King of Shu be undeserved?"
“That makes sense,” said Feng Gonggong. “Then why not just assign the Tianfu area to the princess of Shu?”
The Chengdu Plain area is the most prosperous and lucrative place in the entire Sichuan region. Beyond that flat area, the further into the mountains you go, the more barren it becomes.
With Feng Changgong's method of land allocation, Yu's father not only gained more territory but also became poorer and had more worries.
However, in Yin Yin's opinion, this is actually a good thing.
Because the area is large, there will be more talented people and more resources.
Even if Eunuch Feng singled out the land of abundance, she and her father are still father and daughter.
Regardless of what trusted confidants the imperial court or Feng Changgong send to manage the area as the Princess's Chief Secretary, Yinyin believes in her father and brothers' abilities and that the actual control of the Tianfu region will never be handed over to others.
With what Feng Changgong said, the matter was basically settled. The only remaining issue to consider was the distribution of profits. Yinyin couldn't get a word in edgewise on this, nor did she need to.
Although the emperor wanted to help his elder brother, no ministers listened to him, and even if they did, they would pretend not to hear. In the end, he had no choice but to remain silent.
Yin Yin sensed the emperor's dejection. After the ministers left, she comforted him, saying, "Uncle, if you don't trust others, don't you trust my father too?"
The emperor was taken aback: "Yinyin is right. I may not trust anyone, but I can't distrust my elder brother. He is much more capable than me."
Seeing that the emperor had regained his composure, Yin Yin quickly made her request: "Uncle, Yin Yin wants a martial arts instructor."
"When the time comes, Yinyin will learn more, and if anyone dares to bully Uncle, she'll beat them all away!"
Looking at Yinyin, who was throwing a punch in front of him, the emperor finally smiled and felt a warm glow in his heart: "Yinyin, tell your uncle quickly how your brother and sister-in-law have taken care of you. How can you be so considerate?"
"Is that how you raise them?" Yin Yin pretended not to understand the emperor's meaning and gave him a cute wink.
The adorable little creature with its single blinking eye almost instantly captured the emperor's heart, and he patted his chest and promised, "Uncle will definitely find you a good teacher!"
At this point, the emperor remembered that he hadn't met with the various princes yet, so he summoned the chief eunuch and set the meeting for three days later, instructing him to make the arrangements.
There were no memorials on the emperor's desk, so he naturally didn't need to review any. After court sessions, he would either pursue his hobbies or go to the inner palace.
Now that Yin Yin is here, he can use the excuse of sending her back to go to Fengyi Palace to find the Empress.
The emperor was initially worried that he would be stopped, but the female official didn't even ask any questions and invited them in directly.
"Her Majesty the Empress is in the main hall."
The emperor was overjoyed, thinking this was a sign that the empress was going to break the ice with him. However, when he entered the room, the empress's attention was focused on Yin Yin.
"Yinyin," the Empress said, holding Yinyin's little hand and looking her over from left to right, "did you really hurt the Left Prime Minister?"
Before Yin Yin could speak, the Emperor spoke up for her: "That's right, Yin Yin was really something that day. She kicked the door open, ran to my side in a few steps, grabbed the paperweight, shouted, and smashed it into the Left Prime Minister."
"The Left Prime Minister first looked at Yin Yin in disbelief, then covered his forehead and took a step back. After feeling the pain, he looked at the blood on his hand and then fainted."
“Zitong, you don’t know, Yinyin is so small, but she looked just like her brother back then.”
The emperor rambled on and on, adding his own artistic embellishments.
The Empress clearly understood the Emperor well, ignoring his words and speaking only to Yin Yin.
"Yinyin, were you scared back then?"
Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "I'm not too scared, because my parents and brother said that if anyone dares to bully me, I can beat them up."
"Although Yin Yin wasn't bullied that day, she saw the Prime Minister bullying her uncle and making him do things he didn't want to do, so Yin Yin took action!"
As Yinyin spoke, she looked at the Empress with a somewhat guilty expression: "Aunt, actually, Yinyin is usually well-behaved and never hits people randomly."
"Your parents and eldest brother can all testify for Yin Yin! So can Granny Zhang!"
"Your aunt believes in you," the Empress said, her eyes filled with a hint of melancholy and a few glistening tears.
"Zitong," the emperor stopped speaking and reached out to wipe away his tears.
The Empress turned her face away, but did not refuse Yin Yin's outstretched hand.
"Don't cry, Aunt. Crying will make you less pretty," Yin Yin vaguely guessed what the Empress might be thinking, but she couldn't say it out loud.
“Good child,” the Queen wiped away her tears, “Aunt will listen to you and won’t cry anymore.”
"Yinyin, are you hungry?" The Empress smiled. "Your aunt has had some snacks made. Why don't you go and see if there's anything you like?"
Knowing that this was to get her away, Yinyin obediently got off the ground and walked outside under the guidance of the female official.
Upon reaching the door, her superior hearing allowed her to catch the Queen's gentle words.
"Your Majesty, if I hadn't had so many concerns back then, would Jin'er still be alive and well? Would he be able to protect you now, just like Yin Yin?"
