Zhao Ying sneered, but still answered him, "It doesn't matter whether you care or not. What matters is whether Qi You is willing or not. If Qi You wants to go, no one can stop him!"
Shangguan Qingyue looked up curiously, [Why don't you let my third brother go? ]
Zhao Ying seemed to be recalling some funny things from the past. She smiled and patted Shangguan Qingyue's head, then replied, "It's a long story. When we get to your third brother's yard, mother will tell you all about it!"
【All right……】
Qinghui Pavilion.
Shangguan Qiyou was practicing calligraphy, and opposite him was Shangguan Bailin, who was standing with his hands behind his back, looking like a serious teacher.
Shangguan Bailin suddenly slammed the ruler on the table and said disdainfully, "Qi You, your handwriting is even uglier than a chicken claw!"
Shangguan Qiyou was dissatisfied when he heard this and said, "Does your handwriting look like chicken feet?"
Shangguan Bolin:...
Shangguan Bailin was about to lose his temper and show off his brotherly power when Shangguan Shu and Zhao Ying came in with Shangguan Qingyue.
"Daddy, Mommy, and Sister!"
"Daddy, Mommy, little fat chick!"
Shangguan Shu put Shangguan Qingyue down, and Shangguan Qingyue ran towards his two brothers.
Both brothers touched her head lovingly.
Shangguan Shu and Zhao Ying sat down.
Shangguan Qiyou asked, "What do you want from my father and mother?"
Before Zhao Ying could speak, Shangguan Shu spoke first, "The Empress Dowager's birthday is in a few days. Have you prepared any gifts?"
Shangguan Bailin was the first to raise his hand, looking incredibly proud. "Dad, I've already prepared this! I wrote a poem for Great-Grandmother!"
Zhao Ying was surprised. She praised, "My Bai Lin has really grown up and become filial. He even remembered to celebrate Great Grandmother's birthday without being reminded."
Shangguan Bailin felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
Shangguan Qiyou said, "Mother, I didn't know about the Queen Mother's birthday, so I didn't prepare anything."
Zhao Ying looked at him lovingly, "It's okay, you just came back, and mother didn't tell you yet, so it's okay if you're not prepared."
Shangguan Shu asked, "Qi You, do you want to go to the Queen Mother's birthday party?"
Shangguan Qiyou didn't understand.
Shangguan Shu said bluntly, "Dad means... why don't you just stay home and don't go out?"
Shangguan Qiyou's eyes drooped instantly. He stared at Shangguan Shu for a long time, his eyes full of betrayal... and helplessness.
After a while, he lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said weakly, "Since Dad said so, then... okay."
Shangguan Shu felt sorry for his young son when he heard his youngest son's dejected tone, but the Crown Prince had spoken, which meant the Queen Mother had also spoken. It didn't matter to him, but the Queen Mother was still ill and could no longer bear the stimulation.
Shangguan Shu hardened his heart and stopped talking.
Zhao Ying understood Shangguan Shu's meaning, but smiled without saying anything.
In fact, Zhao Ying came here to talk about this matter. Like Shangguan Shu, he was also worried about angering the empress dowager to death.
Since the matter had been discussed, Zhao Ying did not want to stay any longer with Shangguan Shu, so she gave her three children a few words and left.
Seeing this, Shangguan Shu chased after him like a dog-skin plaster.
After the two left, Shangguan Qiyou's eyes instantly turned red.
He looked at Shangguan Bailin and said, "Second brother, does Daddy not like me anymore?"
Shangguan Bailin was teasing his little sister and was startled when he heard this. Then he asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Daddy won't let me go into the palace with you!"
"Oh, about this...then just don't go with them!"
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Bailin also said this. Shangguan Qiyou couldn't hold it in any longer, "Why?!"
Shangguan Bailin sighed, "It's okay to tell you."
"Do you know why Great Grandmother's Cining Palace was renovated?"
Shangguan Qiyou shook his head.
"Do you know why firecrackers are forbidden in the palace?"
Shangguan Qiyou shook his head.
【Why? 】
"Do you know why Dad, despite his outstanding achievements and deep affection for the Emperor, couldn't be promoted to the position of Grand Tutor?"
Shangguan Qiyou shook his head again.
"In fact, three years ago, the Emperor's grandfather had intended to confer the title of Grand Tutor on Daddy after the Empress Dowager's birthday, but it was all because of you!"
Shangguan Qiyou pointed at himself in surprise, "Me?"
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes sparkled. "Well, second brother, stop keeping me in suspense!"
Shangguan Bailin shook his head again. "That year, it was my great-grandmother's 77th birthday. Yue'er wasn't even born yet, and our family of six entered the palace. And you, secretly, brought a bag of firecrackers with you."
"Everyone was at the banquet, and the Queen Mother, exhausted, went back to her bedroom to sleep. You went out to play, and for some reason, you put firecrackers into the furnace that was burning the earthenware dragon..."
Shangguan Qiyou blinked.
Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
"The firecrackers followed the ground dragon and exploded towards my great-grandmother who was sleeping. That night, my great-grandmother almost died."
"The entire Cining Palace collapsed..."
"The guests managed to escape with great difficulty."
"The Queen Mother was trapped inside."
"It took a whole day and night to dig out the Queen Mother..."
"Afterwards, Dad was beaten with thirty sticks for this incident, and he wasn't promoted."
"Dad doesn't love you yet?"
“我看爹是最疼你的，你闯了这么大祸，爹回家都没揍你！！”
Shangguan Qiyou: ...
Shangguan Qingyue: [Hahahahahahahahahaha…]
[Help! This is so funny!]
My third brother used firecrackers to blast the Queen Mother...
[Hahahaha, hiccup, hiccup]
Shangguan Bailin looked at Shangguan Qiyou helplessly while patting Shangguan Qingyue's back.
Shangguan Qiyou felt ashamed.
