Chapter 221 Passing away
With a creaky sound, Li Jin pushed open the door of the hall.
"Fifth Young Master, please come in, the two young masters."
When the three of them arrived at the hall, they saw Emperor Jingyuan still reviewing memorials with his head down.
"Grandson pays respect to Grandfather."
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Qi You and his two cousins paid their respects to Emperor Jingyuan.
Hearing the voice, Emperor Jingyuan raised his head and saw the three little kids standing below. His mood instantly became much better.
"Get up and sit down."
Hearing this, the fourth and fifth graders all looked at their little cousin.
Seeing this, Qi You nodded.
The two of them then sat down.
Emperor Jingyuan put down the memorial in his hand, looked at his grandson sitting obediently on the chair, and his heart softened when he looked at him. He had been very busy these days and had no time to invite You'er to the palace to talk about what happened that day. Thinking that today was the day for him to go to the palace to study, he asked Li Jin to invite someone over.
"We've only been a few days apart, how come you've lost weight?"
Hearing this, Qi You smiled helplessly and said, "Grandfather, I didn't lose weight. In fact, I gained two kilograms."
Emperor Jingyuan didn't believe it, "Come here, let me take a look."
Qi You walked over reluctantly, and when he was still a few steps away from Emperor Jingyuan, he was embraced and taken away.
Pinching the flesh on his grandson's face, it was smooth and tender, and felt very good. "You're still thin. You need to eat more and grow stronger."
"Yes, I understand, Grandfather."
The four and five children below were shocked. They didn't expect that their little cousin would get along with His Majesty like this? Moreover, His Majesty looked as kind as their little cousin said, and the remaining tension in their hearts disappeared immediately.
Emperor Jingyuan chatted with Qi You for a few more words, then looked up at the two people below and asked with a smile, "Are these your two study companions?"
Qi You heard this and nodded, "Yes, Grandfather, they are my fourth and fifth cousins."
When they heard His Majesty mention them, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu straightened their backs quietly and tried to keep their expressions calm.
Emperor Jingyuan found this scene a little funny. The two men looked good and were quite steady compared to their peers. They were not nervous when they saw him. Not bad, not bad. His grandson really had good taste.
"Are you all hungry? Come and have dinner with your grandfather today, and your two cousins will also join you."
Hearing this, Qi You glanced at his two cousins, and seeing that they were also looking at him, he smiled and agreed, "Okay, my grandson is really hungry."
Xiao Si and Xiao Wu swallowed their saliva. They didn't expect that today was their first time to study in the palace and they would have to eat with His Majesty. How could they be so worthy! ?
Although they were screaming in their hearts, they remained calm on the surface.
After lunch, the two cousins were taken to a side hall by Li Jin for a nap, while Qi You was talking to the Emperor's grandfather.
"Why did you think of letting Zhuying come to the palace that day?" Emperor Jingyuan asked while hugging Qi You.
"I saw assassins coming to the mansion, and then I heard that something happened in the palace. I was worried about you, so I asked Master Zhuying to protect you. Fortunately, you are fine."
Seeing his grandson's serious and grateful expression, Emperor Jingyuan tightened his grip on him and tapped his forehead gently, "Does the Imperial Grandfather still need a little kid like you to protect him?"
"Why are you knocking people? What if he gets knocked stupid? You are my grandson's grandfather, so of course you need my protection." Qi You covered his forehead and glared at Emperor Jingyuan, then said naturally.
Seeing this, Emperor Jingyuan rubbed his head, his eyes a little hot, "You've been knocked silly. Grandfather has raised you all his life, ugh! Your father has been looking at me with a strange look these days, his tone is full of sourness, saying that you have never been so nice to him."
Thinking of the resentful look of his fifth son, Emperor Jingyuan was in a good mood.
Look, he did it all by himself, and now his grandson treats him better than him, he deserves it! It was him who committed suicide before, You'er was cold-hearted to begin with, and he made people feel so wronged, it was good enough that he could pay attention to him.
Hearing this, Qi You said, "Because my royal grandfather is good to me, I must also be good to him." He didn't say anything else.
"You, you! Are you used to taking classes in the study room?"
"Habit."
……
After chatting for a while, Emperor Jingyuan let Qi You rest by himself in the Qinzheng Hall, on the soft couch that Emperor Jingyuan used occasionally to rest. This was not the first time that Qi You had rested here, so he fell asleep quickly.
The two brothers on the other side, on the other hand, had no desire to sleep at all. They were so excited that they couldn't fall asleep and didn't feel sleepy at all.
Yunshen Pavilion.
When Qiao Rongjin heard a noise in the yard, he thought it was his son coming back, but when he went out to look, he found it was Prince Rui.
"What? Are you disappointed when you see me, the king?" Qi Heng pinched Qiao Rongjin's face in dissatisfaction.
With a "smack!" sound, Qiao Rongjin gently slapped the hand that was pinching her face and said angrily, "Why do you always pinch people's faces? You've ruined my makeup."
Seeing this, Qi Heng was not angry at all. He continued to rub Qiao Rongjin's white and tender palms, and told her by the way, "You'er will not be back for dinner tonight. He was left in Minghua Palace by my mother. Xiao Si and Xiao Wu are also with You'er. My mother sent someone to say that he should be sent back to the mansion after dinner. We don't have to wait for him."
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin nodded, "Okay, let's start eating. The prince must be hungry too."
"it is good."
At the dinner table, Qi Heng reported to Qiao Rongjin about his son's day in the palace.
"So, my son and Little Four and Little Five all had lunch at His Majesty's place?"
"Yes, the three of us took our lunch break in the Emperor's Qinzheng Hall."
After hearing this, Qiao Rongjin stopped talking. Well, she was still worried that her son would not be used to it. In this situation, there is no way he would be used to it, right?
"Have you asked someone to tell the Qiao family about the fact that the fourth and fifth graders will be leaving school later?" Qiao Rongjin asked immediately when he remembered. He didn't want to keep it to himself and make everyone in the Qiao family worry.
"I told you, Ah Jin, you're still not confident in my work?"
Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin smiled and picked up some of Qi Heng's favorite dishes for him. "Your Majesty, I can trust you most when it comes to your work. You are steady and reliable, and that's you." After saying this, she nodded affirmatively.
“Hehehe…” Seeing this, Qi Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled.
At the Qiao Mansion, the fourth and fifth brothers who had returned home were pulled aside by everyone in the Qiao Mansion for all kinds of questions. When they heard that the two brothers had lunch and rested in the Qinzheng Hall today, and had received a gift from His Majesty, everyone in the Qiao Mansion was shocked.
Later, they heard that they had dinner at the virtuous concubine's house and that the virtuous concubine also gave the two of them a gift. They were surprised again.
"What's His Majesty like? Is he fierce? Is he majestic?" the younger ones asked quietly.
He was then glared at by Qiao's father and several adults.
This kid needs to be taught a lesson. He can say anything. Does he think he can be careless about his words and actions in his own house?
But we are happy today and everyone in the Qiao family didn’t spoil the fun. We will teach you later.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very kind. He gets along with my little cousin just like we get along with our grandfather. He doesn't look scary at all."
……
In the blink of an eye, January has passed.
Qi You has completely gotten used to studying in the study room. Studying in the palace is very pleasant.
However, when going to school that day, Qi You clearly found that the atmosphere in the palace was not right. Later he found out that the deposed queen in the cold palace had passed away.
