Yuan Zhao came back late today, so Yuan Xuan, Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Qi Yu went back to the princess's mansion after school.
If Yuan Zhao is not available on weekdays, Mo Feng will be responsible for picking them up and dropping them off.
When they arrived at the princess's mansion, Yuan Xuan got off the car first and then reached out to greet Yuan Nan'an.
Yuan Nan'an jumped down without his help. Yuan Xuan was a little unhappy, but he still stretched out his hand to continue to catch Yuan Qiyu.
Yuan Nan'an got off the car and ran towards the mansion, muttering, "I'm so hungry!"
Seeing this, Yuan Xuan helped Yuan Qiyu get out of the car and followed her, "Nannan, slow down! Don't fall!"
Yuan Qiyu, who was walking at the end, stumbled with his big book box in his hands. Mo Feng wanted to help him, but he shook his head.
"Daddy said, do your own thing!"
Yuan Qi Yu walked slowly, and after walking a short distance, he turned his head and looked in one direction.
Mo Feng followed him and stopped, asking, "Third Young Master, what's wrong?"
Yuan Qiyu put the book box on the ground and said to him, "Uncle Mo Feng, please help me watch it!"
After saying that, he trotted towards the big banyan tree at the gate of the princess's mansion.
Mo Feng quickly signaled the servant at the door to take the book box in and followed him.
The Third Young Master is the one His Highness is most worried about, so he must not be lost.
But Yuan Qi Yu just stopped under the big banyan tree, looked up at the tree, not knowing what he was looking at.
Mo Feng walked behind Yuan Qi Yu, then looked up and saw a person hiding in the dense trees.
"Jin... His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin...?"
Yuan Qiyu tilted his head back, smiling broadly, "Uncle San, why are you here? Are you practicing tree climbing?"
Yuan Heng's face was filled with black lines. He thought he had hidden well enough and his aura had not been exposed.
The secret guard didn't notice it, so how come Yuan Qiyu, that little idiot, found out?
Yuan Heng was a little embarrassed. He jumped down from the tree and muttered, "I'm just taking a walk..." Then he turned around and prepared to leave.
But Yuan Qiyu grabbed his sleeve.
Just at this time, Yuan Nan'an and Yuan Xuan, who had already entered, found that Yuan Qiyu was late, so they went out to look for him and saw Yuan Heng.
"Third uncle! Why are you here?" Yuan Nan'an trotted to the banyan tree.
Yuan Qiyu tugged at Yuan Heng's sleeve, smiling broadly, and lowered his voice deliberately, "Third uncle is practicing tree climbing here!"
Yuan Xuan looked up with some confusion, "Climbing a tree?"
The emperor's uncle is so skilled in martial arts, does he still need to practice climbing trees?
Several pairs of big eyes looked up at him, and Yuan Heng really had a headache.
He was in a bad mood when he came out of the palace and somehow ended up here. Now he was caught and he wanted to run away out of embarrassment.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yuan Nan'an grabbed his other sleeve and turned to walk towards the princess's mansion.
"Stop standing there chatting! Third uncle, please come and have dinner with us! I'm starving!"
Yuan Qiyu also jumped up and said, "Let's have dinner! Let's have dinner together!"
Yuan Heng wanted to refuse, "Hey! Hey! Hey!"
But this little girl Yuan Nan'an has a small body but is as strong as an ox!
Yuan Xuan was also pushing him from behind, and thus Yuan Heng was dragged and pushed into the princess's mansion.
…
When Yuan Zhao returned home, he heard laughter coming from the dining room from a distance.
"Uncle San, try this duck leg! It's the most delicious dish we have!"
"Uncle San Huang! Fish soup, fish soup, have a bowl quickly! Nan Nan loves this the most!"
"Third Uncle, guess what Zhizhi's favorite food is?"
【Chichi! Chichi loves to eat chicken legs! 】
She raised her eyebrows slightly, having just heard about Yuan Heng.
But she was still a little surprised when she walked in and saw Yuan Heng sitting there properly, surrounded by a few chattering little kids with a calm expression.
Yuan Zhizhi was the first to see Yuan Zhao coming back. She threw away the chicken leg bone that Yuan Nan'an had stuffed in her hand and stretched out her hands towards Yuan Zhao.
【Mother~Hug~】
When Yuan Heng saw Yuan Zhao coming back, he looked a little unnatural. He called out "Imperial Sister" and was about to stand up.
But Yuan Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Sit down."
Gan Tang brought some water for washing hands. She washed her hands, picked up Yuan Zhizhi, and kissed her round face.
He seemed not at all surprised by Yuan Heng's arrival, nor did he ask why Yuan Heng came.
Yuan Heng himself felt a little uncomfortable. He sat on the chair very uncomfortably and didn't touch the bowl in front of him for a long time.
Yuan Qiyu beside him tilted his head back and asked, "Uncle, if you don't eat well, you won't grow tall!"
Yuan Heng came back to his senses, glanced at Yuan Zhao, picked up a mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth.
"Aunt, how is the Northern Qiang delegation today?" Yuan Xuan asked Yuan Zhao after taking a sip of fish soup.
Yuan Heng then remembered that Yuan Zhao had also gone with Yuan Cheng to welcome the delegation today. He did not participate in this matter and did not take it seriously.
But at this moment he lowered his eyes and listened quietly to Yuan Zhao's answer.
"Everything is going well. Your father is with you now."
Yuan Xuan said "Oh" and thought of the sister he met that day, so he asked, "Aunt, are all the envoys men? Are there any girls?"
Yuan Heng couldn't help but chuckle, and several people looked at him.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at Yuan Xuan and said, "You are so young, and you care about this?"
He had a malicious smile on his face, "I'm afraid it's time for your father to arrange a marriage for you..."
Hearing Yuan Heng's teasing, Yuan Xuan's face flushed red, "Uncle! Don't talk nonsense!"
He immediately turned around and looked at Yuan Nan'an in a panic, "Nan'an, I didn't! Don't listen to the nonsense of the emperor's uncle!"
Yuan Nan'an gnawed on a duck leg and looked at him suspiciously, "What? What did you say?"
Yuan Zhao noticed Yuan Xuan's flushed face and also noticed that Yuan Heng had relaxed a little. She picked out a piece of fish and handed it to Yuan Heng's bowl.
Yuan Heng stared at the piece of meat in the bowl, and Yuan Zhao continued,
"There is a princess from Northern Qiang in the delegation. She is older than you and about the same age as Brother Mu Sheng."
Yuan Xuan said "Oh", and Yuan Nan'an also thought of the sister he met that day, and looked at Yuan Xuan.
Yuan Xuan nodded, and Yuan Nan'an understood that it should be the same person.
Yuan Qiyu didn't remember anything at all. Seeing Yuan Heng staring at the piece of fish in a daze, he asked in a low voice, "Uncle San, don't you like fish?"
He pushed his own bowl and said, "If you don't want to eat it, give it to Xiaoyu! Xiaoyu is not picky about food..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Heng picked up the fish with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
He stuffed his food in while mumbling, "Who said I don't want to eat? I love fish the most!"
Yuan Qiyu brought his own small bowl back and curled his lips. That was the last piece of fish, and his mother gave it to his third uncle...
Yuan Zhao caught a glimpse of this scene and laughed dumbly. Then he thought of the engagement Yuan Heng had just mentioned, and thought of something.
"Speaking of engagement, mother should be planning your eldest brother's marriage."
"Mother is planning to hold a spring banquet outside the capital this month. It will be a good opportunity to receive the diplomatic corps and help your eldest brother find his love..."
