Chapter 75 Nanzhao Hostage
"My grandparents only have my uncle as their son. I don't want them to have to see their son die before them!"
"Li'er, you definitely don't want to either, right?"
"I know you definitely want to save your uncle, but we must first respect his wishes, don't you agree?"
"My master said it, and my mother said it too. You can't do things that someone doesn't like under the guise of doing good for them!"
Yu Youning spoke very seriously and instantly gained the approval of many children.
"Youning is right! My father always disciplines me in the name of being good to me, and I really don't like it at all!"
"My mother is the same! I like horse racing, but my mother won't let me go, saying it's for my own good. She doesn't care what I want at all. That's not good for me, she just wants me to have her way!"
"Youning is so nice! Although she is young, she never forces others! I wish my mother could be like this!"
"I really envy Youning's uncle!"
Lin Ruoli listened to everyone talking endlessly, and she could hardly maintain the expression on her face.
What's wrong with these people?
Why are all of them speaking in Yu Youning's favor?
What benefits did Yu Youning give them!
Chu Huaixu stood up at this time, "Youning, my mother is hosting a banquet in the palace today. Do you want to come with me? There will be delicious food!"
Is there anything delicious?
Yu Youning's eyes lit up instantly, and without any hesitation, he agreed directly, "Go, go! I'll go! Let's go now!"
Chu Huaixu smiled and nodded, then was about to walk out.
Lin Ruoli became anxious upon seeing this and quickly spoke out to stop him, "Brother Crown Prince! Can Li'er go with us?"
Chu Huaixu glanced at Lin Ruoli calmly, "You are so worried about your uncle, and your uncle has always loved you. At this time, you should be with your uncle."
Being rejected by Chu Huaixu in front of so many people, Lin Ruoli felt ashamed.
But she couldn't go, and she couldn't let Yu Youning go either.
"Youning, I think what the prince said is right. Come with me to accompany my uncle!"
"No!" Yu Youning shook his little head like a rattle. "Uncle doesn't want to see me! If he really sees me, what will happen if he gets mad at me? Li'er, you should go by yourself!"
Without waiting for Lin Ruoli to say anything, Yu Youning ran out with light steps.
Chu Huaixu walked steadily, but his speed was not slow at all.
Others also left in twos and threes.
In a blink of an eye, only Lin Ruoli and Zhai Heming were left in the room.
Seeing that Zhai Heming was about to leave, Lin Ruoli's eyes instantly filled with tears, "Prince, are you ignoring Li'er too? Do you hate Li'er too? Have you been snatched away by Yu Youning too?"
Zhai Heming stopped and hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to Lin Ruoli and stopped three feet away from her.
Lin Ruoli's tears were rolling in her eyes, and she looked very aggrieved.
"Prince, you weren't like this before, why are you like this now..."
"Pear."
Zhai Heming suddenly spoke, his voice a little muffled.
Lin Ruoli had never seen Zhai Heming like this before, and she couldn't help feeling a little surprised and nervous.
"W-what happened?"
Zhai Heming's ink-black eyes stared at Lin Ruoli's eyes without blinking.
"Li'er, when you gave me that purse, you said you prepared it especially for me."
Lin Ruoli's heart skipped a beat, her expression became a little flustered, and she took a step back.
"Did I...did I say something like that? I don't remember!"
Zhai Heming still stared at Lin Ruoli, "You said it! You also said that the things inside were carefully selected and prepared by you."
Lin Ruoli's body shook slightly. "Maybe you remembered it wrongly... or maybe the one I prepared was lost. Anyway, that was the one I found in the carriage. It's not mine... It really can't be mine!"
After saying these words in a panic, Lin Ruoli didn't dare to look at Zhai Heming again. She turned around and ran outside.
Zhai Heming stood there, watching Lin Ruoli's receding back, feeling sad.
He always treated Li'er as a good friend and helped her bully Yu Youning.
But why did she poison her own grandfather?
Is it really like what her father said, that she just wanted to embarrass Yu Youning?
Why did she sacrifice his grandfather when there was clearly another way?
Zhai Heming sighed deeply, his head and shoulders drooped, and he walked out with heavy steps.
...
Yu Youning ran all the way out of the gate of the Imperial College and saw Marquis Wen standing there holding Hongyun's hand waiting for her.
"grandfather!"
Yu Youning called out sweetly, ran towards Old Marquis Wen, hugged his legs, and looked up at his face.
"Grandfather! The Crown Prince said the Queen is hosting a banquet today and invited me to attend! I'm not going home! Remember to tell my mother and father when you get back!"
Hearing Yu Youning's words, Lord Wen subconsciously looked at Chu Huaixu.
The little prince had just had a meal at the Wen family yesterday, and today he invited Yu Youning to the palace for dinner.
This is obviously to coax Youning away!
Marshal Wen quickly bent down and picked up Yu Youning. "Youning, we've prepared some delicious food at home. Why don't you go home and eat?"
"Grandfather, if you, mother, and father can't finish it, please leave it for me. When I come back in the evening, I will eat it all!"
Marshal Wen originally thought of using delicious food to keep people here.
I didn’t expect that!
She actually wants them all!
Go to the palace to eat imperial meals at noon, and go home to eat delicious food at night.
She arranged everything so clearly!
Marshal Wen knew he couldn't keep her, so he could only tell her, "Then come back early after you've eaten! If you think anything is good, write down the name and I'll have the chef make it for you when you come back! We can eat it every day!"
As he said this, he glanced at the prince meaningfully.
Don’t try to lure people away with food!
From beginning to end, Chu Huaixu's face was filled with a gentle and calm smile, without the slightest change.
But after Marshal Wen glanced over, Chu Huaixu slowly spoke again, "Youning, let's go! Otherwise, if we're late, the delicious food will be snatched away by others."
How can that be possible!
Yu Youning felt a sense of urgency and immediately got on Chu Huaixu's carriage.
After Chu Huaixu was seated, the carriage slowly moved forward.
Yu Youning leaned on the window, waved to Marshal Wen, and then withdrew his head with a smile.
"By the way, who is the Queen going to invite for the banquet?" Yu Youning asked curiously.
"It's the Nanzhao Kingdom hostage we talked about yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, he will study with us at the Imperial Academy tomorrow."
Originally, if the hostage was brought to Beijing, he would just be locked up.
For safety reasons and to prevent any accidents, he would not even be allowed to have too much contact with outsiders, let alone study at the Imperial College.
It was after he listened to Yu Youning's remarks about the hostage yesterday that he thought about it seriously and talked to his father for a long time. This led to the matter of the Nanzhao hostage going to the Imperial College to study, and thus to today's luncheon.
"He can go to school, thanks to Youning!" Chu Huaixu said with a smile again.
"Thank me?"
Yu Youning's face was filled with sadness and confusion. "Why are you thanking me?"
She didn't do anything!
Chu Huaixu was about to speak when he heard this, but he saw Yu Youning's eyes roll around and she spoke again with a smile.
"Since you want to thank me, can I eat more later?"
Chu Huaixu burst out laughing.
There is really only food in Youning's mind!
Seeing Chu Huaixu laughing again, Yu Youning snorted, "What are you laughing at? The world is big, but eating is the most important thing! As long as you're full, you're not afraid of anything! You grow faster if you eat more! Is there anything wrong with me wanting to eat a little more?"
"No!"
Chu Huaixu instantly put away the smile on his face.
"Youning just wants to eat more, what's wrong with that?"
"That's more like it!"
When the two arrived at the Queen's palace, in the main hall, the Queen was smiling and talking to a young man in a black robe.
The black-robed boy looked about the same age as Chu Huaixu, about eight years old.
The two men are about the same height, have fair skin, are thin, and look good, but they are unmistakable.
Chu Huaixu has a delicate and handsome appearance. He looks like a graceful young man, and his temperament is as gentle as jade.
This young man in black robe has a kind of beauty that makes it difficult to tell whether he is handsome or not. He gives people the feeling of being cold and arrogant.
At first glance, the clothes he was wearing seemed normal.
But if you look closely, you can see that the dark patterns on the clothes are very unfamiliar, and they should be the patterns from Nanzhao.
The Queen didn't expect Yu Youning to come today. When she saw Yu Youning, she was very surprised. She raised her hand and said, "Youning, you're here? Come quickly!"
Yu Youning was not afraid at all and ran over happily, "Empress, it's been a few days since we last met. You look even more beautiful!"
“Ouch!”
The queen let out a small exclamation, then smiled so hard that her eyes curved.
The clear and pleasant laughter not only filled the entire palace, but could also be heard outside.
Just by listening to the laughter, you can tell how good the queen's mood is at the moment.
The Queen smiled until her eyes were moist. She stopped and gently stroked Yu Youning's little face, "Youning is really good at talking!"
"I can talk! And I especially like to tell the truth!" Yu Youning answered seriously.
The queen was instantly amused again, and it took her a while to finally stop.
The black-robed youth looked at Yu Youning and snorted softly, "Little flatterer!"
Yu Youning heard it clearly and immediately looked towards the young man in black robe.
"Who's the flatterer? I've already told you I'm telling the truth, and you're pretty good looking too!"
"I'm praising you like this, do you think I'm a flatterer?
"Could it be that you think you are not good-looking?"
"Of course I look good!"
After Wei Zhao answered, he realized that something was wrong.
He acknowledged her compliment, so she was indeed not a flatterer.
This little girl looks fair and tender like a bun, but the inside is actually black?
