When Prince Rui and Princess Rui heard the news, they were so frightened that they quickly changed their clothes and went into the palace.
They were not afraid of what the emperor would do to Qingtian.
The emperor is not a tyrant, it is impossible for him to argue with a child.
The main reason is that they are worried that Qingtian is too young, and if he gets scared, he will not want to recognize them anymore.
The emperor probably guessed that they would come, so the guards at the palace gate didn't ask any questions at all. When they saw that it was Prince Rui and his wife, they let them in.
But the two of them were still late.
After arriving at Tianyi Building, he was led directly to a side hall.
Qingtian is having dinner being served by Wang Wei!
When Princess Rui saw this, her heart tightened.
Who is Wang Wei?
That was the person who served the emperor most closely.
Apart from the emperor, whether other masters in the palace are qualified to be served by Wang Wei depends on whether they can please the emperor.
When ministers in the court saw Wang Wei, they had to respectfully call him Eunuch Wang.
Such a person is currently serving Sunny Day dinner.
what does that mean?
Does it mean that the emperor quite likes sunny days?
Prince Rui turned an inquiring look at Wang Wei.
This is not a national event and there is nothing worth keeping secret.
Wang Wei was naturally happy to do Prince Rui a favor.
He said with a smile: "The emperor chatted with Miss Qingtian for a while and liked her very much.
"When he learned that Miss Qingtian hadn't eaten, he specially asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a meal and asked this old servant to serve her well!
"The Emperor also said that if Prince Rui and Princess Rui enter the palace, you two will be allowed to take Miss Qingtian out of the palace directly."
Prince Rui and Princess Rui looked at each other after hearing this. It seemed that if they wanted to know what the emperor had just said to Qingtian, they could only wait until they left the palace and ask Qingtian.
Soon, Qingtian was full.
Wang Wei ordered his men to pack up everything and then he took his leave.
"Qingtian!" Princess Rui quickly walked to Qingtian's side, took her hand and looked her left and right.
She originally wanted to ask her if she was afraid when she first entered the palace, but then she remembered that she had eaten a lot just now, but did not look afraid at all.
Qingtian looked at Prince Rui and Princess Rui and felt a little conflicted.
Although she had already decided to recognize them, she had just promised the Emperor.
But I haven't had time to tell Boss Ye and Sister Ye about this yet...
So Qingtian asked, "Can you take me home?"
"Of course." Princess Rui quickly swallowed her doubts. "You just finished your meal. Do you want to rest for a while?"
"It's okay, I'm just anxious to go home." Qingtian said as he jumped off the chair.
Prince Rui thought to himself, it seems he is still scared, and he doesn't want to stay in the palace for a while longer.
Come to think of it, this is the imperial palace after all. Who wouldn’t be scared the first time they come here?
"Okay, then let's leave the palace now!" Prince Rui originally wanted to meet the emperor, but now he gave up the idea.
There are plenty of opportunities to go to the palace and talk to the emperor, so let's send the child back first.
On the way back in the carriage, Prince Rui couldn't help but ask, "What did the emperor say to you just now?"
"He just asked me how old I was, whether I could read, what books I read, what I liked, and also asked me about my parents."
Princess Rui quickly asked, "What did Qingtian say?"
This time, Sunny's answer was even simpler.
"Just tell the truth!"
Okay, it’s the same as not asking.
Prince Rui still did not give up and asked: "Do you still remember what the emperor said to you last?"
Of course I remember the sunny days.
Not to mention the last part, she remembered everything from beginning to end clearly, word for word.
But she couldn't say it yet.
So she shook her head under the gazes of Prince Rui and Princess Rui.
She thought to herself, if I just didn't say it, that shouldn't count as lying, right?
After all, my mother always said that good children can't lie.
Seeing that they could not get any information out of their children, Prince Rui and his wife decided not to force their child any further.
After leaving the palace, the carriage headed straight to the Cen Mansion.
Everyone in the mansion was very nervous at this time.
They were supposed to eat when they got home, but no one could eat. They were all anxiously waiting for news from the palace.
Mrs. Ye couldn't help but say, "I got up early this morning, and since Sunny was still asleep, I just had a few bites of breakfast.
“After waking up in the car, I ran to play backgammon with Young Master Qin and didn’t eat anything.
"She was taken to the palace before she even entered the house. I'm afraid the child must be starving."
Boss Ye was a little upset by her nagging and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, there's everything in the palace. Will there be any shortage of food?"
There is naturally no shortage of food in the palace, but whether there is a shortage and whether one can eat it are two different things.
Just as Mrs. Ye was about to retort, she heard the servants outside shouting, "Miss Sunny Day is back!"
At this moment, Mr. Cen, Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye all stood up and ran out immediately.
"Oh, you're finally back. I was so worried." Mrs. Ye hugged Qingtian in her arms and said, "Are you hungry? I left some lunch for you."
"Mother, I'm not hungry. I've already eaten in the palace."
Qingtian held Mrs. Ye's hand, and reached out with his other hand to hold Boss Ye.
"Dad, Mom, come here for a moment. I have something to say to you."
For some reason, Mrs. Ye's heartbeat quickened when she heard this.
Seeing Prince Rui and Princess Rui still standing at the door, she became even more panicked.
Could it be that the emperor issued an order requiring Qingtian to return to his ancestral home?
"What, what are you talking about? You're so mysterious..."
Although this was an inevitable result, when Mrs. Ye suddenly realized that this day might come, she still found it a bit difficult to bear and began to stutter when she spoke.
"Dad, Mom, you saved me and have always loved me. I know it all.
"I've long considered you my own parents, and I've never thought about looking for my own parents..."
"Good boy, mother knows everything.
"It's not your fault. Your parents love you from the bottom of their hearts, not for you to repay them.
"Besides, your parents haven't done anything wrong. They are so high up in society, and yet they've done all they can for you. It's clear they love you so much."
Mrs. Ye choked up and couldn't continue.
Boss Ye had no choice but to take over and said, "Qingtian, we never wanted to stop you from recognizing your relatives. We all know that this day will come sooner or later.
"We all support you in doing this. We just want you to live a good life. Nothing else matters..."
Boss Ye couldn't say anything more.
Qingtian said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. Even if I return to my roots, you are still my parents!"
She felt that she had explained everything clearly, so she turned and walked towards Prince Rui and his wife who were waiting at the door, leaving behind Boss Ye and Sister Ye who looked surprised and puzzled.
