Wei Cheng'er's little mouth instantly widened in surprise. Wasn't Grandpa Xie supposed to be quite bold? The imperial court had sent people to invite him so many times, yet he hadn't returned. Why did he fall off the carriage the moment he heard that Brother Gou Dan's grandfather was the emperor?

Wei Cheng'er poked her little head out from the carriage and looked at Xie Fugui. "Grandpa Xie, you fell off by accident, didn't you?"

Accidental my foot!

Those who inherit the throne are most averse to being told that their ascension to the throne was illegitimate.

He could be aloof and refuse to serve the new dynasty, but he couldn't speak ill of the imperial family. He'd truly gone mad from being stuck in the mountains.

Dog Egg was about to go greet his grandfather when he saw Xie Fugui fall out of the car...

Dog Egg: "..." He finally managed to get the person back, he can't afford to break them.

Gou Dan got out of the car and helped Xie Fugui up. "Grandpa Xie, are you alright? My royal grandfather and my father are both very kind, so don't worry."

Xie Fugui felt a little relieved. "Your Highness...Your Highness, you can just call me Xie Fugui."

He had barely finished speaking when the Emperor and his entourage arrived.

The Emperor jumped off his horse and walked towards Gou Dan. "You brat, you've finally decided to come back?"

Xiao Er and Xiao San also ran towards Gou Dan. "Big Brother, we've missed you so much!"

The emperor's guards all knelt on the ground. "Welcome back to the capital, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The yamen runners who escorted Xie Fugui to the capital also knelt on the ground. "This humble subject pays respects to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

Wei Cheng'er also knelt down.

The Emperor lifted Wei Cheng'er up in one swift motion. "You must be that little girl from the Wei family, right? I don't have a granddaughter, so you can be my granddaughter."

Wei Cheng'er: "Okay, okay." If the Emperor were to adopt her as his granddaughter, then she would be Brother Gou Dan's sister. Although she still calls him Brother Gou Dan now, it's just a matter of politeness.

Gou Dan rescued Wei Cheng'er from the Emperor's clutches. "Grandfather, Cheng'er is a girl. You can't treat her like you would the three of us brothers."

The Emperor: "Oh, right. My dear granddaughter, your grandfather will be more careful from now on."

Wei Cheng'er: "It's alright, I'm very resilient."

"Hahahaha..." The Emperor took a jade pendant off his person and gave it to Wei Cheng'er. "This is a gift from your grandfather to you when we first meet."

Wei Cheng'er accepted it with both hands. "Thank you, Grandfather."

"Good boy." The Emperor looked at the others. "Rise."

After they got up, the Emperor looked at Xie Fugui and asked, "Is this Master Xie?"

Xie Fugui was about to kneel again when the Emperor grabbed his arm. "Don't kneel anymore, let's go back to the capital."

Xie Fugui felt a little relieved seeing how cheerful the Emperor was. He thought, "If the Emperor and the Crown Prince are so easy to get along with, the Crown Prince must be quite easygoing too, right?"

result……

Xie Fugui knelt down as soon as he saw Ning Yirong. "Your Highness, I am guilty. I should not have returned so late. I will go to the Ministry of Works to report for duty now."

Dog Egg: "..." It seems he still needs to cultivate.

Wei Cheng'er: "..." Grandpa Xie, you weren't even this well-behaved when you saw the Emperor earlier.

The emperor chuckled inwardly. His son was born to be emperor. The mere sight of his son would command the submission of all.

Ning Yirong gave a faint "Mm". "Go."

"Yes. This humble subject takes his leave."

Xie Fugui gave Ning Yirong a deep bow before following the guards downstairs.

Ning Yirong looked at Wei Cheng'er. "You are Wei Cheng'er, right? I have prepared a courtyard for you. You can come and stay whenever you want. I will have someone show you around."

Wei Cheng'er kowtowed to Ning Yirong. "Thank you, Your Highness." Your Highness is so kind, but a little intimidating.

As soon as Wei Cheng'er left, Ning Yirong looked at the Emperor, Gou Dan, and Xiao Er and Xiao San. "Alright, you guys go have fun."

The Emperor: "Alright! My grandchildren, let's go."

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor disappeared without a trace with his three beloved grandsons.

Ning Yirong's lips curled up.

His father is now living the life of a god.

On the other side, Xie Lao Da and Xie Lao Er could hardly believe their ears when they learned that their father would be working in the Ministry of Works. "Father, have you come to your senses?"

Xie Fugui thought to himself, "I didn't figure it out; I was intimidated by His Highness the Crown Prince's imposing manner." Then he looked at his two sons and said, "Yes, I've figured it out."

The eldest and second eldest Xie brothers were delighted to hear this. “Dad, you’ve worked so hard. Dad, let me help you. Dad, if there’s anything you need, just tell your son, and your son will do it for you.”

On the other side, Sisi was chatting with Lao Hei and Lao Bai.

Old Black and Old White went with Dog Egg this time. One was in the open, and the other was in the shadows.

Old Hei poured Sisi a cup of tea. "Congratulations."

Sisi smiled. "Same to you. Shall we celebrate with a couple more games?"

Old Black: "Okay."

Old Bai: "I have something to do, I'll go first... um..."

Old Bai had barely stood up when he was paralyzed. He yelled and screamed in anger, "You two scoundrels, you've teamed up against me again! What sins did I commit in my past life?"

"Yun Xiaoliu, do you know that watching you play chess is torture? Lao Hei, if you want to play chess with this lousy chess player, fine, but why drag me into it? Am I not your brother? Am I not?"

Sisi and Lao Hei both looked at Lao Bai. "Stop arguing, or we'll go to the next day."

Old Bai: "..." God, may a bolt of lightning strike him dead! How did he end up hanging out with these two guys in the first place?

On the other side, Fourteen told Feng Chan about his intention to marry Hei Bao.

Feng Chan was overjoyed. "Heavens above, you've finally realized you like Hei Bao? If you hadn't realized it soon, I'd have smashed your head open to see if it was made of stone!"
