Chapter 653: The son understands that the emperor’s order is difficult to disobey

Princess's Mansion.

Jiaojiao looked at Yan Qing with tears in her eyes and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, Jiaojiao wants mother!"

Hearing her call her "Grandma," Yan Qing's heart almost melted, and he hurriedly comforted her, "Jiaojiao, don't cry. Xier will probably be back soon."

According to what the girl Zhuzhi said, Xier was invited by someone from the palace just as it was getting dark.

It's already bright today, so it's time to come back.

Jiaojiao's little mouth pursed, "Grandma is lying."

As she spoke, tears began to fall like pearls from a broken string.

Yan Qing saw this and felt his heart break. He hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't cry, dear."

Jiaojiao looked up at her, her eyes red as she said, "Grandma, can you take Jiaojiao to find mother?"

No matter what else happened, even because of the little girl's appearance, Yan Qing would never say a word.

But bringing the little girl into the palace was not allowed.

She has now divorced the unfaithful Song Huai'en and has lost her status as a lady of honor. She is not even allowed to approach the palace gate without being summoned.

If I really go, it will cause trouble for Xier and the prince.

If this gets to the ears of someone with ulterior motives, she might be accused of acting recklessly by relying on her status as a future royal relative.

Jiaojiao saw Yan Qing's embarrassment, tears welled up in her eyes, and her little mouth pursed as if she was about to cry again.

At the critical moment, Ziheng frowned and said, "Shut up."

The little girl covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes wide open with tears, clearly a little unconvinced.

But she didn't dare to refute.

Jiaojiao blinked at Yan Qing, looking like she was asking for help.

Yan Qing was about to speak when she heard Ziheng say, "Grandma, my little sister is weak and can't stand crying."

The little girl retorted vaguely, "I can bear it, I can bear it!"

Ziheng glanced over and the sound from the other end instantly fell silent.

Yan Qing had only heard from Zhuzhi and others before that although the young masters of Prince Jin's Mansion had different personalities, they were all extremely intelligent.

With time, you will become a great person.

Now that I have met him, I realize that the old saying that seeing is believing is true.

These kids are really good.

Judging from their current attitude towards Xier, they will probably become even closer as a family in the future.

In this way, she, as a mother, can feel more at ease.

Seeing that Yan Qing really didn't intend to help her, Jiaojiao wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "Grandmother likes my second brother, not Jiaojiao."

Yan Qing was stunned when he heard this.

When did she say that?

Before she could explain, Ziheng said with a sullen face, "Jiaojiao, if you continue to act recklessly, I will tell my aunt."

When she heard that she was going to complain, the little girl immediately became obedient.

She pulled Yan Qing's sleeve and shook it gently, humming softly: "Grandma likes Jiaojiao, and Jiaojiao likes Grandma the most."

Yan Qing was overjoyed to hear her calling him "Grandma." He patted her head and said, "Jiaojiao's mouth is so sweet, it's like she drank honey."

The little girl tilted her head and asked with a smile, "Grandma, do you like it?"

"I like it, of course I like it." Yan Qing smiled from ear to ear.

If she wasn't afraid of scaring the little girl, she would even want to invite her to stay at the Yan family for a few days.

With this girl's personality, I'm sure they will have endless things to talk about when they get together with the little girl from Sister Qingyun's family.

Jiaojiao rubbed Yan Qing's chest and said sweetly, "Jiaojiao likes grandma too."

When Mo Jinchuan walked in, he saw a scene of grandparents and grandchildren living in harmony.

Even the second son, who usually doesn't talk much and doesn't have any extra expressions, had a rare smile on his face.

It seems that when he was away, the two children got along very well with their future mother-in-law.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Jiaojiao turned her head to look at him, and the first thing she said was, "Daddy, where is Mommy!"

Although Ziheng didn't say anything, his nervous eyes said it all.

Mo Jinchuan took two steps forward and said respectfully to Yan Qing, "Last night's events were too hasty. I didn't make proper arrangements, and I'm sorry that you got scared."

Yan Qing smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. It was the maidservant below who was frightened by the scene and thought something serious had happened, so she rushed back to the Yan family that night."

Mo Jinchuan nodded, and before she could ask, he took the initiative to explain: "Father caught a cold last night, and the Empress was worried, so she sent someone to invite Xier into the palace."

"Is this really true?"

Yan Qing's face showed more worry, and he frowned and asked, "I wonder how His Majesty is doing right now?"

Mo Jinchuan said: "He woke up during the night, it's nothing serious.

It's just that the dragon's health is at stake, so Xi'er needs to stay in the palace for a few days."

Yan Qing nodded and said, "That's right. Your Majesty's safety is related to the safety of the country and cannot be taken lightly."

After understanding what the two said, Jiaojiao suddenly became unhappy, shaking her short legs with resentment in her eyes.

The words "she is unhappy" were almost written on her face.

Yan Qing couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw this.

Just when she was considering whether to leave the two children in the princess's mansion and let her take care of them, she heard Mo Jinchuan speak.

"Jiaojiao, follow your father into the palace and have dinner with your grandfather the Emperor."

When these words were spoken, both the big and the small were stunned.

Yan Qing glanced at the sky outside and even suspected that he was hallucinating because he didn't leave the city.

She rushed to the Princess's Mansion before dawn and now she hasn't even had time to eat breakfast, and now she's going to have dinner?

Even though the rules in the palace are complicated and different from those of ordinary people, they don't have to live with their days and nights turned upside down.

Ziheng glanced at Mo Jinchuan's stubbled chin and asked softly, "Dad, did you not sleep all night?"

The other meaning of the words is to ask whether he has become so confused that he can't even tell the difference between day and night.

Mo Jinchuan glanced at him and said, "Your grandfather the emperor told me to bring Jiaojiao into the palace to have dinner with him."

Ziheng nodded and said meaningfully, "I understand, son. The emperor's order is hard to disobey."

The emperor only mentioned dinner, but didn't say that we couldn't go before dinner.

Giving him a teachable look, Mo Jinchuan extended his hand towards Jiaojiao, who looked excited.

The little girl quickly reached out for him to hold her, and said in a baby voice, "Jiaojiao is going to find her mother!"

Ziheng's eyes darkened and he said, "I'll go back to the palace and wait for my father."

Seeing his expression change, Yan Qing couldn't bear it and asked with a smile, "I happen to have a few children of similar age at home. I wonder if Second Young Master would be willing to do me the honor?"

Ziheng pursed his lips and couldn't help but look at Mo Jinchuan.

Although there was not much expression on his face, his eyes clearly showed that he wanted to go.

Rather than playing, he wanted to see with his own eyes the place where his aunt grew up.

Mo Jinchuan nodded and warned: "Listen to the elders and don't run around."

Ziheng nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Daddy."

Yan Qing stood up and took his hand, smiling faintly, "Your Highness, don't worry. The family now has children of similar age. I think the Second Young Master must have something to say to them."

Thinking of Song Yanxi's previous mention of becoming a disciple, Mo Jinchuan said, "If it is convenient, please ask Auntie to take care of Ziheng for a few more days.

This child likes to read, so let him study privately at the Yan family during the day."

Yan Qing agreed with a smile and said softly, "It's a good thing to like reading. My nephew doesn't have any other hobbies, and reading is one of them.

In his study, he collected many rare books by great literary scholars."

When Ziheng heard this, his eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Yan Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "Those books of his are really precious. If you want to read them, you have to pass his test yourself."

Ziheng nodded hurriedly and said impatiently, "Dad, grandma and I are leaving first."

Seeing them leave, Jiaojiao asked angrily, "Daddy, when are we leaving?"

Mo Jinchuan's eyes darkened slightly, "Let's go now."
