Chapter 12 These days, his daughter has been messing around with carrots?

"Father?"

Yun Shu could not see the light curtain, he could only see that the originally angry emperor suddenly thought of something, looked at the void, and his expression inexplicably became subtle.

It was not until she called him back to his senses by calling him "Father" that Emperor Xuanwu's expression became much kinder again:
"Xiaowu..."

Oops! From the look and tone, I knew that what he was going to say next was not what she wanted to hear!

Yun Shu took a step back reflexively.

Emperor Xuanwu: “?”

The obvious vigilance in the kid's eyes was too conspicuous, and it was difficult for him to pretend not to see it!

But it’s good that she saw through it, so he doesn’t have to know how to start a conversation!
Emperor Xuanwu was silent for only a moment, then he spoke calmly:

"My father has already made arrangements for this matter. I will replace Master Cui, but not now."

"When was that?"

Yun Shu did not ask what the specific arrangements were. Was it something a little useless princess like her should ask about the emperor's thoughts?

She only cares about one thing:
"Can it be done within ten days? Master Cui asked me to hand in the punishment copy within ten days!"

"Ten days……"

Emperor Xuanwu coughed a little guiltily:
"Probably not."

"What about my punishment?"

Sure enough, the bad premonition came true, and Yun Shu's mouth dropped instantly:
"Master Cui is openly seeking revenge against me!"

"I can only let Shu'er down for now on this matter."

Emperor Xuanwu nodded seriously:

"As compensation, I'll have someone send you an extra reward today!"

"Then..." That's fine too!

Just think of it as selling the words she wrote, it's still quite a bargain!

Before I traveled through time, I never lacked money. Although I haven't had to spend money since I traveled through time, the empty pockets always make me feel particularly uneasy.

Her cheap father is an emperor after all, so the rewards he gives her will surely be generous!

Yun Shu left the imperial study room contentedly, and even jumped twice briskly as he walked down the stairs.
Then he turned around and was unexpectedly face to face with three heads sticking out from the corner.

Yun Shu: “…”

"Why are you here?"

"We are worried about you, Fifth Sister!"

Yun Chuhuan was caught peeking in on the fun, but he didn't feel guilty at all and started to lie:
"If the emperor gets angry, maybe we can help him to speak up for him if we are here."

Yun Shu snorted and laughed: "Are you secretly speaking for me in this corner?"

"It's because we were of no use just now!"

The fabricated excuse was exposed before it lasted even a second, but Yun Chuhuan still didn't feel embarrassed and still had that playful smile on his face:

"Huan'er saw that Fifth Sister seemed to be in a good mood when she came out of the Imperial Study just now. Could it be that Father promised Fifth Sister that she doesn't have to copy the Great Learning twenty times?"

"You still have to copy."

How could she not copy since she had taken the money?
However...his gaze fell quietly on Yun Chuhuan, Yun Shu curled the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was not innocent.

Yun Chuhuan: “…”

He shrank his neck and sold out his teammates in a very tactful way:

"Fifth sister, don't worry. I promised to let Ziming help you copy the Doctrine of the Mean. Now that you don't need to copy the Doctrine of the Mean, it's the same if I let him help you copy the Great Learning!"

"...No, I can't!"

Before he knew it, the fire had burned on him again. Liu Ziming was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly:
"Fifth Princess, Sixth Prince, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that the words written with a feather pen are somewhat different from those written with an ordinary brush. I can only write with an ordinary brush, and I can't write with a feather pen like the princess!"

"It's okay. I don't want you to copy it for me this time."

Yun Shu nodded calmly:
"I want you to help me with another thing... come here."

She waved her hand, and several little heads gathered together immediately.

The Dragon Shadow Guards hiding in the dark almost pricked up their ears, but they couldn't hear clearly what they were whispering.

Therefore, when he appeared before Emperor Xuanwu again, he could only recount the entire process and the few words he vaguely heard.

Emperor Xuanwu: “…”

Did he guess wrong again?
The first thing that Xiaowu did after leaving him was not to find a way to solve the twenty times of copying as punishment, but to ask Laoliu to buy a lot of radishes and find a few more people to come back together to... fry radish balls? ?
Is this fried radish meatball so delicious?

His thoughts were distracted for a moment, and Emperor Xuanwu realized what he was thinking and helplessly held his chin:

"Alright, I understand. You must keep a close eye on her these few days. If the Fifth Princess makes any unusual moves, you must report it immediately."

"Yes!"

……

Little did he know that when he was secretly conspiring with Yun Chuhuan that day, because of a foodie's deviation from the right track and a few words that were accidentally leaked out due to poor volume control, he almost fooled Emperor Xuanwu.
In the next few days, Yunshu behaved very well in the study room every day.

I listened carefully to the class, did my homework carefully, didn't doze off or talk nonsense,

Master Cui couldn't find any fault with her and could only console himself by thinking that the Fifth Princess must be really afraid of him, so she didn't dare to fall into his hands again.

But I didn't know that after class every day, Yun Shu would hang out with Yun Chuhuan and the others.
The content of the Dragon Shadow Guard's daily reports to Emperor Xuanwu is always varied.

"The princess finished copying the "Great Learning" today, and gave the copy she was punished to make to the young master of the Liu family."

"The Sixth Prince told the princess that he had bought the carrots and found the people, but they were all arranged outside the palace."

"The princess had a lot of fried carrot balls made. The Sixth Prince and the others were very happy and said they were delicious."

"The princess led the Sixth Prince and others to carve flowers out of carrots. Miss Cen's craftsmanship was not good enough, so she was laughed at by the Sixth Prince. Then, the Sixth Prince was laughed at by the princess."

"The Sixth Prince was not convinced and said that those people outside the palace were more powerful than the princess and could even carve auspicious dragons and phoenixes out of radishes."

"Young Master Liu brought a basket of carved radishes into the palace. The basket was delivered to the princess. Inside were exquisite radish carvings such as a dragon and a phoenix, Chang'e flying to the moon, and a flying horse pulling a carriage."

Emperor Xuanwu: “…”

So, during these ten days, his daughter was busy with carrots.

Even those people who were found outside the palace were there to carve radishes for her!

This is really strange. Could it be that carving a radish with a dragon and phoenix on it can greatly increase the number of poor students in the world?

As the ten-day deadline approached, Emperor Xuanwu, who had never been able to figure out the connection between the two, finally became unable to sit still.
