As soon as his daughter left, Xia Jinjun began to feel uncomfortable all over, as if his backbone was gone.
He didn't think there was anything shameful about it. Whoever had the ability would be the backbone of the family, no matter how old they were.
Besides, there is nothing wrong for a father to listen to his daughter.
The Queen Mother did not ask him any more questions, and her attention was focused on his wife.
"Yuer, your mother often brought you to the palace when you were a child. Do you still remember it?"
Chang Yue nodded, "Some, but I was still young at the time. I just remember that I broke the Queen Mother's flowerpot. Not only did you not blame me, you were worried that I would get hurt. I don't remember much else. Oh, I remember that your food is much more delicious."
"Okay, okay, it's rare that you still remember. You are your parents' treasure. My flowerpot is broken, so what? It doesn't matter. As long as you are okay, it's good. Alas... fate plays tricks on me."
The princess, who should have grown up in luxury and pampered, ended up living among the common people and suffering so much. Anyone who heard about it would sigh.
Xia Jinjun was terrified as he listened to this. He had a feeling that if he and his wife didn't have this precious daughter, this marriage would be invalid.
Fortunately, fortunately.
People say that the emperor is cold and indifferent. It's not that they don't believe it, they just don't think about it.
Chang Yue remembered that when she was a child, she was always called Emperor Brother. She followed him and he doted on her in every way, accompanying her to catch butterflies, fish and pick flowers.
But now when we met again, he was calm.
Since the other person was like this, she didn't intend to curry favor with him. She didn't want to think about the matter in detail.
…
When the group went out, Xia Zhiliao was a little worried about his father. After all, it was the first time he had seen such a scene and he was not by his side. He was really afraid that he might say something wrong.
"Don't worry, Uncle Xia is not a child anymore." Wen Heng saw through Xia Zhiliao's thoughts at a glance.
Xia Zhiliao couldn't help but complain in his heart.
[You know, you are not the worm in my stomach. Besides, he is my father. How can I not worry? ]
Wen Heng curled his lips. He understood her thoughts better than the worms in her stomach.
"Uncle Xia is very good to me, and I hope he is well too."
[Does he really know that my thoughts can be understood so easily? ]
Wen Heng smiled, Wen Chao slowed down his pace and walked side by side with them on purpose, "Xia Zhiliao, you are really good. From a country girl, you have transformed yourself into a county lady."
Xia Zhiliao smiled, but answered in a very official manner, "Thanks to you."
Wen Chao could hear her teasing, "What does it have to do with me?"
He turned to look at Wen Heng again, "You knew it a long time ago?"
"have no idea."
Wen Heng did not lie. He really didn't know at first. He just wanted to help out with good intentions, but he didn't expect this result.
"By the way, can you take a look at my arm? Is it okay?"
Xia Zhiliao looked at him curiously, "Me?"
"Yes, it's you. I don't trust anyone else." Wen Chao lowered his voice.
After Wen Yan was poisoned, he, who had always been smart, began to be wary of those people. He didn't trust anyone except his mother.
"Then can you trust me?" Xia Zhiliao was very curious. What did he mean?
"At least they are more trustworthy than those people." Wen Chao felt a little awkward, but since they were whispering like this, it seemed like they were in the same group.
"What I mean is... you understand, right? We're not that good either!"
Xia Zhi nodded, "I understand."
She also didn't want to get too close to these people. Wen Heng was enough. She didn't want to get involved in the intrigues between the brothers in the future.
"Quickly check to see if there is any problem with the medicine I'm using. Why do I feel unwell all over?" Wen Chao asked.
Xia Zhiliao showed it to him.
"no problem?"
"Don't you believe it?"
"No, then why do I feel uncomfortable all over?"
"Maybe it's time to take a shower." Xia Zhile said seriously.
Wen Chao nodded for a moment, but soon realized that he was being laughed at, and his expression changed immediately. When he met the smiling eyes of Wen Heng and Xia Zhiliao, he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't take a shower, I take it regularly, okay?"
"oh!"
"You don't believe it?" Wen Chao was angry. "I'm really stupid. Why am I telling you this? The innocent will be innocent."
Xia Zhiliao was still smiling, but looking at Wen Chao's expression, he really found it funny, "Yes, yes, you are very clean."
This tone, this expression, made Wen Chao grit his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Crown Prince Wen Yu also noticed that the younger ones were gathered together. He was the elder brother and the crown prince, so naturally he should be the center of attention.
"Ninth brother, are you very familiar with Sister Zhiliao?" Wen Yu asked.
He didn't want to stop calling him that, but given Xia Zhiliao's current identity, he had no choice but to call him that.
Wen Chao responded first, "Brother, it's... it's okay, I just saw it at the Royal Grandmother's place."
Wen Yu nodded. "I thought you were as familiar with her as Wen Heng, but you are of the same age, so you should take care of her more in the future."
"Brother, I... I don't know how to take care of girls." Wen Chao glanced at Xia Zhiliao.
Wen Yu deliberately reminded: "She is the most beloved granddaughter of my great-aunt. Even my great-aunt dotes on her. Haven't you always been filial to her?"
[This guy, he deliberately mentioned my background, is he implying that I am close to Wen Hengen just to get close to my grandmother? How despicable. ]
Such a prince deserves to be killed. Isn't his mind too narrow?
Wen Chao glanced at Wen Heng, and Xia Zhiliao guessed that he was about to transfer the conflict to Wen Heng.
But this guy was kind for once.
"Brother, there are others who are about my age. Besides, this little girl doesn't need anyone to play with her, right?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "I can play by myself."
[You were smart enough not to push Wen Heng out, but it was quite surprising.]
The second prince is gentle and kind, giving people a feeling as gentle as jade. He glanced at Xia Zhiliao with a warm smile, just like the big brother next door, but Xia Zhiliao knew this guy well.
A smiling tiger.
The happier he laughs, the more ruthless he strikes; his contribution to the crown prince's downfall is indisputable.
"Brother, I think Sister Zhiliao is smart and cute, but it's a pity that we are old and the little girl may not be willing to play with us."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and didn’t want to follow. She just wanted to be quiet.
"She and Wen Heng have known each other for a long time, so let Wen Heng take care of her more. Wen Heng, do you have any objection?"
"How can I have any objection to what Second Brother said? Besides, she is not used to getting close to strangers."
Xia Zhiliao looked at Wen Heng, not understanding why he said that.
This is indeed the case, but the way he said this undoubtedly makes people think that he just wants to win over his grandmother.
This does him no good.
