Chapter 338 The Fat Concubine is Extremely Talented; She Speaks 8 Languages (8)
The Empress Dowager glanced at the young eunuch who came to report and replied, "You know that the Empress is young. Perhaps she fell off the dragon bed by herself. You palace servants who serve the Empress should be punished. You want to blame it all on a dog!"
"This servant wouldn't dare!" The little eunuch immediately knelt down.
"Give the order that if you see that dog again at the Empress's residence, do not make a fuss or disturb it." The Empress Dowager rose and walked towards the Empress.
She had heard her daughter mention the dog many times, but had never actually seen it.
Unfortunately, it was too late; Gangzi had already left.
The young empress is a strategist; she's also capable of great things!
Yuncheng.
Gangzi never returned, leaving Su Dingding even more bored.
When she has nothing to do, she goes out for a stroll to amuse herself.
Occasionally, he would sneak into the palaces of neighboring countries at night to reminisce about the past and appreciate the present.
These border vassal states were relatively underdeveloped economically, and even the imperial kitchens in the palace were quite ordinary.
However, Su Dingding's hobby is eavesdropping.
Although they spoke different languages, it didn't stump her.
The king of Cheyin Kingdom was impotent, and most of the women in his palace cheated on him with his bodyguards, ministers, and even one eunuch who had not been castrated.
The crown prince of Su Liu Kingdom was fond of men, and his wife spent every night alone in her empty room, while he kept more than a dozen male concubines, leading an extremely extravagant private life.
Su Dingding never goes out empty-handed; she always brings back some treasures.
She even heard that a gold mine had been discovered in another country, so she went there to dig for them beforehand.
During the day, she eats, drinks, plays, and sleeps all day; at night, she goes out to enjoy the scenery and listen to gossip.
Meanwhile, Gangzi was meticulously planning to eliminate any future troubles for the Little Empress.
Once the time is right, all the small vassal states that were ceded to previous emperors will be taken back.
A few months later, on the centenary of the Great Ao, envoys from surrounding small countries came to offer their congratulations.
Su Dingding also came to join in the fun.
Now she weighs nearly 300 pounds, and wherever she goes, she gets 100% attention.
Everyone who sees her looks on in amazement, their mouths agape in astonishment.
At the same time, it was immediately obvious that she was Princess Qi!
The world also gave her a nickname: the Fat Concubine!
Su Dingding arrived in the capital and moved into the former Prince Qi's mansion.
She also met Gangzi again. Su Dingding grabbed Gangzi's ear and said, "You still know you have a host. I thought you, this wild host, hadn't come back yet!"
"How could that be? Gangzi is the host's master in life and the host's master in death. He will never be bound to anyone but the host in this life!" Gangzi declared, raising his head.
Even though his head was deformed from being pinched by Su Dingding, he remained steadfast.
Su Dingding then released it and asked, "How is the little empress?"
"With me here, she's doing just fine!" Gangzi said with a touch of pride.
"She's doing great. Look at your host, me. Nobody cares about me, and I've gained another fifty pounds!" Su Dingding waved his steel-like fist.
"The host looks good no matter how fat he gets." Gangzi complimented, grinning.
Su Dingding rolled his eyes. "Many vassal states and other small countries are eager to make their move. What are the young empress's plans?"
"These past few months, the little empress and I have trained a group of elite warriors, each one brave and loyal. When the envoys from various countries return home, I will hypnotize their minds and use them for our purposes. Then, with their help from within and without, we will bring all these small countries under our control!" Gangzi said confidently.
"Are the troops and provisions sufficient?" Su Dingding asked again.
【Everything is ready!】 Gangzi finished speaking and glanced at Su Dingding, clearly feeling a little guilty.
"Have you used up all the gold and silver I stored in the system space?" Su Dingding grabbed Gangzi's ear again.
Gangzi grinned, but still tried his best to smile ingratiatingly, saying, "Host, it's all small change. We're aiming for great things, so we don't concern ourselves with trifles!"
Su Dingding snorted coldly, "That's my money! How about this, you dance for me to entertain me, and I'll give you ten thousand taels of gold for each dance!"
Gangzi immediately became interested, not expecting that its host would value its dance moves so much.
It's so touching, it's determined to jump for its host until the end of time.
Seeing Gangzi start dancing gracefully, Su Dingding regretted it.
She was just saying it casually. Gangzi's dancing was really nothing to write home about. It was like watching a dog wriggling around, occasionally giving a flirtatious look, and while it was jumping around, treats would fall off its body.
"Alright..."
Su Dingding didn't want to watch anymore.
Gangzi, however, was in high spirits. "Host, I've only danced one song and returned ten thousand taels of gold. I'll dance five more songs. Please continue to enjoy."
"I'm going to go to bed."
Su Dingding is leaving.
Gangzi immediately stopped her, saying, "Does the host find this style of dance boring? I can dance any kind of dance, it's ever-changing, folk dance, tap dance, belly dance, street dance..."
Seeing that Su Dingding was still leaving, Gangzi began to transform into different breeds of dogs, and then into different animals.
[The host doesn't like watching animals dance, but I can be a human too!]
Seeing Gangzi transform into a different person again, Su Dingding couldn't hold back any longer, "Gangzi, have you ever thought that you're actually not very suitable for..."
【Ahhh…】Gangzi clutched his head and knelt on the ground. 【So the host simply doesn't like watching me dance. In the end, I was wrong about him…】
Su Dingding sat down again helplessly. "Go ahead and jump."
Gangzi stood up with a big smile and continued dancing.
One song after another.
It was very pleased that Su Dingding had persisted without even blinking, presumably having been captivated by its graceful dance.
After it finished its last dance, Su Dingding started snoring.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Su Dingding had already closed his eyes and had drawn fake eyes on his eyelids. No wonder he wasn't blinking!
【Host! 】
Gangzi stomped his feet angrily.
Su Dingding suddenly woke up and looked at Gangzi, who was looking aggressive.
A chase ensued inside the house between the two rulers.
After a long and tiring afternoon, an exhausted Su Dingding went to the palace for a banquet in the evening.
The envoys from each small country harbored their own ulterior motives.
They whispered amongst themselves in their own languages, preparing to embarrass the young empress at the banquet.
After all, they didn't even consider a seven-year-old girl a threat.
The young empress sat on her high throne, looking down at them, and could see their contempt.
The first to stand up was the envoy from Yue, who deliberately spoke in their Yue language: "Our King of Yue has presented Empress Da'ao with ten boys, one hundred cloth tigers, one hundred kites, one hundred lanterns, and one hundred clay figurines..."
The young empress waited for him, sensing that what he was saying wasn't anything nice, but unfortunately, she couldn't understand it.
Su Dingding slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "How dare the Yue Kingdom present such things? Do they think our Empress Da'ao is a child to be bullied?"
The Yue envoy looked at Su Dingding and could tell from her figure that she was the Princess Consort of Qi.
Su Dingding walked up to him, grabbed his neck with one hand, and lifted him high into the air.
"Your Yue Kingdom is nothing but a vassal state of my Da'ao. You think too highly of yourselves and want to die? I, the Queen Consort, will grant your wish!"
