After a moment of silence between the brother and sister, Xia Miaoyuan climbed onto the prince's lap and said softly, "Brother, Miao'er wants to go too!"
The prince's thoughts were interrupted by his sister: "Where are you going?"
"Lanting Club! Enjoy free refreshments!"
"Hahaha! Miao'er is so funny. Brother is not a student taking the exam, and neither are you. We are not eligible for the free refreshments."
[Well, it doesn't matter whether I eat the free refreshments or not. The important thing is to go to the Lanting Club to see it in person. ]
When Xia Miaoyuan heard the prince say this, he thought that he didn't want to go to Lanting to watch the fun, and he was so anxious that he kept biting his fingers.
"That's right!" Xia Miaoyuan clung to the prince like a kitten.
"Okay, okay! Brother will take you there tomorrow!" The prince's mouth curled up slightly.
He knew what his sister was thinking. In fact, he had the same idea.
Going to the Lanting Club in person would help him keep abreast of Liang Chaozong's movements. He would also know who had received the prize money, so that he could have a clear idea of who would receive it during the palace examinations and even when they were granted official positions.
The time came to the next afternoon.
Xia Miaoyuan woke up from her nap. After the nanny tidied her up, the prince picked her up and prepared to go to Tianxiang Restaurant.
As soon as I walked out of the main courtyard, I met Han Qingbo.
"Qingbo pays his respects to the prince!" Han Qingbo said respectfully.
The prince nodded slightly: "Qingbo, are you going out?"
"Qingbo heard from the servant that there is a Lanting gathering tonight and he wants to attend it."
When these words were spoken, both the brother and sister were shocked.
[Oh my god, is the setting in the book so magical? ]
[Even though they've already protected Han Qingbo so well, they're still sending him right in front of Liang Chaozong at a Lanting gathering?!]
[No, no! Han Qingbo must not be allowed to go to the Lanting Club!]
【Brother, please stop him! 】
The prince listened to his sister's thoughts and expressed his deep agreement.
He had meticulously protected Han Qingbo for several months, and even brought him to the Prince's Mansion before the exam. Now he was actually going to attend the Lanting Meeting.
As long as he went to the Lanting Club, he would definitely win the prize based on his talent, and would definitely attract the attention of Liang Chaozong.
The prince was desperately trying to think of a plan. Seeing Han Qingbo about to bow and leave the house, the prince called out, "Qingbo, wait a minute."
"My brother and I also want to go to Lanting to see the excitement, why don't we go together!"
Han Qingbo stopped when he heard the voice, turned around and said, "Okay!"
[Ahhh! Why don’t you stop him? You even invited him to go with you!] Xia Miaoyuan’s face flushed with anxiety.
The prince thought that since he couldn't think of a good solution at the moment, he would first keep Han Qingbo under his control and think of a solution along the way.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan was heard clutching her stomach and yelling, "Ouch! It hurts!"
Han Qingbo and the prince looked at Xia Miaoyuan at the same time and saw that her chubby little face was flushed, her hands were covering her stomach, her facial features were wrinkled, and she was instantly panicked.
"Miao'er, what's wrong with you? Do you have a stomachache?" asked the prince.
"Miao'er's stomach hurts so much!" Xia Miaoyuan said with difficulty.
"What's wrong with the little princess? Let me take a look." Nanny Yang from the Prince's Mansion walked forward and gently touched Xia Miaoyuan's belly.
"Your Highness, are you going to the bathroom? I remember you didn't go yesterday."
During the two days of staying in the Prince's Mansion, Nanny Yang was responsible for taking care of Xia Miaoyuan's food and daily life, so she was very familiar with the princess's situation.
Xia Miaoyuan nodded: "Yes, I need to go to the bathroom."
The prince was originally very worried, but when he heard Mammy and his sister say this, his eyes lit up: "Okay, Mammy Yang, you take the princess there now."
Then, the prince turned to Han Qingbo and said with a smile: "Hey! Taking children out is troublesome!"
Han Qingbo's lips curled up, and he thought Xia Miaoyuan was very interesting: "Nothing, nothing, the princess is still a child, it's normal. Then let's wait for the princess."
When the prince heard Han Qingbo's initiative to wait for Xia Miaoyuan, his heart was filled with joy: "Okay, then let's go to the front hall and have a cup of tea. I estimate that Miao'er will be ready in a cup or two."
Han Qingbo nodded in agreement.
When the two entered the front hall, the prince said to the servant, "Go and make a pot of tea that the emperor gave us and bring it to us."
Just as the servant turned around and was about to go, the prince said again, "Forget it, let Wu go. The can of tea is in my bedroom. You don't know where it is."
Upon hearing this, Awen walked up to the prince, and the prince whispered a few words to Awen.
Before long, Awen brought over a pot of tea.
When Han Qingbo heard that this tea was a gift from the emperor, he felt like he had found a treasure. He savored it carefully and praised it as he went along.
"The tea the emperor gave me is truly extraordinary. It has a rich fragrance, a sweet taste, and a special aroma after it enters your mouth."
The prince smiled and said, "If Qingbo likes it, drink more. There is still a lot of tea in that can."
As the prince spoke, he slowly paced in the main hall with a teacup in his hand. When he walked to the large potted plant at the door, he poured the whole cup of tea into Han Qingbo while he was not paying attention.
Xia Miaoyuan went to the toilet and stayed there for a long time. It was a full quarter of an hour before he came back.
The prince complained, "This child is really something. He is picky about food and doesn't like to eat vegetables. He only likes to eat meat. He is so unhappy."
Han Qingbo smiled and said, "It's inevitable for children. It will be fine when they grow up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Qingbo frowned.
Han Qingbo suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen.
The prince looked at Han Qingbo and asked in surprise, "Qingbo, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Han Qingbo said, gnashing his teeth, "I don't know why, but my stomach suddenly started to hurt."
In the blink of an eye, Han Qingbo's face turned pale.
"Please ask Doctor Yin to come and take a look!" the prince shouted.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan walked slowly from the back hall with a slightly frown on his face.
[Hey, I spent over half an hour trying to get my brother to stay. I wonder if he and I have any tacit understanding. Did he take the opportunity to keep Han Qingbo in the mansion?]
Xia Miaoyuan was lost in thought when he arrived at the main hall.
Seeing that the prince was the only one in the main hall, he immediately became a little flustered.
"Where is Uncle Han? Isn't he waiting for us?" Xia Miaoyuan asked in a baby voice.
The prince shook his head. "No, he just had some abdominal cramps. I had him taken back to his room. I also asked Doctor Yin to come and see him."
Xia Miaoyuan's slightly frown immediately relaxed.
【No way, brother, you are so awesome! 】
After Yin Xizi arrived, the prince called her aside and gave her some instructions. Only then did Yin Xizi go to see Han Qingbo.
The prince and Xia Miaoyuan also followed Yin Xizi to Han Qingbo's courtyard.
