Chapter 526: Chapter 446: Susu Breaks into Jinluan Hall Alone, Twin Dragons and Phoenixes Chase Zhou (2)

In Jinluan Hall

The Emperor, seated high on the Dragon Throne, had listened to the officials below engage in a fierce debate for half an hour and it was giving him a headache.

Today was Susu’s first birthday celebration, and this group of officials without any sense of time were just delaying the morning court.

Just as the officials continued back-and-forth relentlessly, the Emperor angrily slapped the table, startling the officials so much that they trembled and didn’t dare to breathe.

Outside Jinluan Hall

A small pink figure lay on the crimson steps, with two bunches tied on her head, each adorned with two small white Fur balls, climbing up with her agile limbs.

Ever since Susu had learned to walk, the small Hehuan Hall could no longer contain her.

Xuetuan was with her, no, rather, she was leading Xuetuan to Jinluan Hall.

The entire Imperial Palace knew that Susu was the Emperor’s most cherished grandchild and she could freely enter and exit anywhere she wished.

The Imperial Guards were terrified watching the little ancestor climb up the hundred steps.

"Should we carry the little ancestor up?"

"What if the little ancestor cries?"

Susu, not shy with strangers and showing no preference, could be held by anyone. It was these very guards on duty last time who saw the little ancestor running out of the East Palace. They had tried to carry her and send her back, but it resulted in Susu crying her eyes out...

Xiaobai and Xuetuan followed closely behind Susu, afraid that the little ancestor might accidentally step into the air and that they would be there to catch her.

After Susu climbed up, she patted her knees and waddled towards Jinluan Hall with her little short legs.

Xiaobai had just taken two steps forward when he was blocked by Xuetuan.

At four months old, Xiaobai was more than twice Xuetuan’s size. With one look from Xuetuan, Xiaobai understood what it meant.

He couldn’t follow the little ancestor inside...

Susu, with her little fair hands supporting the door frame, stared at the room full of people with her big shimmering eyes, only showing a smile when she saw Grandfather Emperor sitting on the Dragon Throne. With her little short legs, she stepped over the threshold and entered.

Inside Jinluan Hall, it was silent.

Susu held a Fur ball from her cotton outfit in one hand, looking at the ministers on both sides with curiosity as she walked.

The ministers, each with their heads bowed and eyes averted, saw a tiny figure in the center of the Hall walking towards them with a wobble in each step.

The Emperor’s cherished granddaughter, who at three months old had played with the Jade Seal, who wouldn’t recognize her?

Jinluan Hall was a place for discussing important national affairs. Even if she was favored, how could she just enter as she pleased?

The Emperor was in the midst of anger, and the arrival of his granddaughter was untimely.

Susu, unaware of the thoughts of the civil and military officials, tilted her head and curiously watched the adults keep their silence. She then trotted happily towards the Dragon Throne where Grandfather Emperor sat.

Eunuch Li, seeing Susu, quickly reminded the Emperor, "Your Majesty, the County Princess has come."

The Emperor was drinking some cooling tea served by Eunuch Li and couldn’t believe Susu would come; after all, Susu was in the East Palace, which was quite far from here.

He lifted his head and saw the pink little figure in the center of the Hall, pausing in surprise.

Watching the pink figure use the gold steps to walk up step by step.

The Emperor handed the teacup to Eunuch Li, stood up, and walked briskly over, bending down to pick up Susu.

Susu happily wrapped her arms around Grandfather Emperor’s neck, calling out in her baby voice, "Grandpa, Grandpa."

Grandpa, two words that Susu had only recently learned; Grandfather Emperor, three words, a bit hard for her, but Grandpa was relatively easy.

The Emperor, hearing Susu call him Grandpa, laughed with joy.

Hearing the Emperor’s laughter, the ministers below wore puzzled faces, witnessing the Emperor’s mood change faster than flipping a book – one second in anger, and the next heartily laughing.

"Court is dismissed." The Emperor, in a cheerful mood, uttered two words and then, carrying Susu, walked out of Jinluan Hall.

When the Emperor saw the white tiger and Xuetuan at the door, he frowned. Xuetuan was alright, a well-kept cat was no concern.

But a white tiger as a pet for Susu was just absurd.

In two or three months, when it has doubled in size, what if it hurts Susu?

Susu, seeing Xiaobai, waved her small hand at him, "Huhu, Huhu..."

The Emperor had heard Susu call the white tiger Huhu more than once. He gently corrected her, "Susu, it’s Huhu, white tiger."

Susu, tilting her head and repeating in her milky voice, "Huhu, Grandpa, Huhu."

The Emperor laughed upon hearing this, the Crown Princess had said it was normal for a young child to mispronounce some words and it would be fine when she got a bit older, so he didn’t correct her further.

"How about Grandfather Emperor takes you to see Grandmother Empress?"
