Chapter 1205: Cheap Work!
Translator: Lonelytree
Hearing Guo Bing’s mocking and rude words, Yuwen Ling was a little angry, but she could not refute Guo Bings words. She could only turn to Yuwen
Longyan for help. With a wronged face, she called out in a coquettish tone,”
Father, look, Lord Guo is bullying Ling ‘er. You must seek justice for Ling’ er.”
Yuwen Longyan laughed and said,” Good, good. Father will get justice for you. Ling ‘er, what kind of justice do you want?”
Yuwen Ling choked.
She had disguised herself as a man and had indeed barged into the Nanyuan Manor. Guo Bing’s words were a little rude, but it was indeed the truth.
Even if Yuwen Longyan wanted to side with Yuwen Ling, there was no reason.
Yuwen Ling immediately said angrily, “Father, I’m your biological daughter. You can’t side with outsiders! So what if I dress as a man? Didn’t the other princesses dress up as men every day for fun?
“Besides, who said I barged into Nanyuan Manor? I heard that Imperial Father was in the Nanyuan Manor and wanted to accompany him, but who knew that the guards outside wouldn’t let me in? I let them in to report, but there was no result for half a day. I could only barge in to find Imperial Father on my own!”
After Yuwen Longyan heard this, he laughed out loud again.” You little girl, you have so many ideas and reasons! Alright, Guo Bing, for this one’s sake, don’t be calculative with Ling ‘er!’
Guo Bing immediately said,” Your Majesty, look at what you’re saying. How would I dare to argue with the princess?
Yuwen Ling glared at Guo Bing.
Then, she curiously looked around the place and found that the civil and military officials that her father had brought over seemed to be busy with work.
She immediately asked curiously,” Father, what are all the lords doing?
Yuwen Longyan smiled and said,” Oh, they are all harvesting rice.”
Yuwen Ling said in surprise,” Harvest rice? Father, isn’t that what the common people do? Why are they doing it now?”
When she mentioned the commoners, a trace of contempt flashed across her eyes. In fact, she wanted to say that they were lowly people.
However, when she thought about how her father had always loved his people, she did not want to ruin her image in front of him.
However, even so, he still asked unhappily,” Commoners? Who said that these jobs must be done by commoners? The founding ancestor of our dynasty, Great Emperor Yan Wu, was once a commoner. Ling ‘er, don’t think that just because you’re a princess, you’ve forgotten about your ancestors!”
Yuwen Ling’s face turned pale as he immediately knelt down and said,” Father,
Ling ‘er was wrong! Ling ‘er shouldn’t have said that!”
There was another reason why Yuwen Longyan doted on Yuwen Ling. She knew when to retreat. She knew that in front of him, she knew what to say! If she were wrong, she would quickly admit her mistake, just like now!
Yuwen Longyan sighed and said,” Since you know you’re wrong, then get up! However, Ling ‘er, you can’t forget the Yuwen family’s ancestors, understand?”
Yuwen Ling replied obediently,” Yes, Father!”
Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing only watched the conversation between the father and daughter indifferently.
In any case, it was not up to them to interfere in the matters between father and daughter, whether it was the daughter acting coquettishly or the father lecturing her daughter.
Yuwen Ling carefully looked at Yuwen Longyan’s expression. Seeing that he really wasn’t angry, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, she looked at the officials and royal brothers and nephews who were working enthusiastically. She immediately said excitedly,” Father, can I go harvest these rice?
Yuwen Longyan immediately said,” Oh, Ling ‘er also wants to harvest? Didn’t you just say that these were only jobs for commoners?
Yuwen Ling immediately said,” Father, didn’t you also say that I shouldn’t forget my roots? In that case, I should experience the hardships of my ancestors. Besides, my royal brothers, nephews, and all the civil and military officials in the court are busy in the fields. There’s no reason for me to watch from the side, right?”
Guo Bing looked at Yuwen Ling, who had changed in an instant, and understood in his heart that there was a reason why Yuwen Ling was favored by the Emperor.
Because she was too good at guessing the Emperor’s thoughts and then acting according to the Emperor’s thoughts.
If she were a man, she would be a very powerful politician!
Yuwen Longyan looked at Yuwen Ling and immediately thought of Lin Yuelan.
He still remembered that Lin Yuelan had rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs in front of everyone. Her fair and tender hands had picked up a small sickle, and her fair and small legs had directly entered the field. She was very straightforward and carefree.
He glanced at Yuwen Ling and said with a smile,” Since Ling ‘er is interested and wants to experience the life of a commoner, I’ll let you experience it!
Eunuch Zhang,”
“This old servant is here!” Eunuch Zhang heard the cries of the Emperor and immediately stepped forward.
‘Eunuch Zhang, I’ll leave Ling ‘er to you. You must let her experience the joy of harvesting!” Yuwen Longyan ordered.
“This old servant obeys the decree!” Eunuch Zhang immediately replied. Then, Eunuch Zhang said to Yuwen Ling,” Princess, please!”
Yuwen Ling was instantly dumbfounded.
She was just saying it. She didn’t really want to go to the fields and do such cheap work!
But now, she was already in a difficult situation.
She braced herself and asked with a smile,” Eunuch Zhang, where are you taking me?
“Princess, this old servant will bring you to change your clothes!” Eunuch Zhang replied with a smile.
“What? Do I still need to change my clothes?” Yuwen Ling was stunned again.
Then, she looked at her clothes in a daze.
Eunuch Zhang explained with a smile,” Princess, although you are dressed as a man, you are still wearing silk and satin. Therefore, you have to change into coarse clothes before you can work!” Wearing silk to work was obviously inappropriate. At the same time, it felt like an insult to the people.
Yuwen Ling raised her voice in surprise.”Coarse clothes!” She couldn’t believe that she would actually have to wear those ugly things.
She really didn’t want to wear it, but when she saw Yuwen Longyan beside her, she gritted her teeth and said,” Eunuch Zhang, please lead the way!’ She felt uneasy.
According to her understanding, her father should have refused her permission to leave the field. However, why did her father not refuse?
Could it be that those words had really angered Imperial Father?
She followed Eunuch Zhang into a room. A moment later, she came out wearing a gray-black male outfit. As she walked, she sniffed her body. She felt that the clothes had a smell that made her very uncomfortable.
However, after seeing the Emperor, these actions immediately stopped. Then, she ran to the Emperor and said coquettishly,” Father, this dress is too big. It doesn’t fit Ling ‘er at all.”
Guo Bing laughed and said,” Ninth Princess, this is a man’s outfit.. Of course, it’s not suitable for a woman like you!’
