Chapter 100 Not a Three-Year-Old Child
Is this what it means to get something for nothing?
Zhao Yuanxi blinked, not expecting this big piece of fat meat to be right in front of him.
It turns out that her eldest nephew is actually her step-son's housekeeper, and he even holds the key to the private vault!
Zhao Yuanxi's mind suddenly became active, and she thought of hundreds of ways to make money. Unfortunately, she had no money on hand, so she could only think about it.
Mi Qi didn't know why the Queen Mother's eyes suddenly became hot when she heard that he was the Minister of the Qin State.
Although Shaofu is one of the Nine Ministers, he is only in charge of managing the private property of the royal family and is not involved in the major affairs of the Qin State. Is there anything worth her being interested in?
Zhao Yuanxi also realized that he seemed to be too obvious. He cleared his throat and smiled warmly, "It's getting late. Changping Jun, why don't you go back with us for lunch?"
Mi Qi quickly refused. How could he have lunch with the Queen Mother?
"You're welcome, we're family!"
Zhao Yuanxi sent someone back to inform You in advance and asked her to prepare more of her signature dishes.
Mi Qi had no choice but to follow the Queen Mother back to the palace for dinner.
When Fusu and Ziying saw a new guest coming to the palace, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"Uncle Mi, why are you here?" Fusu blinked his big eyes and asked curiously.
Mi Qi hadn't seen Fusu for a long time. When he heard that Fusu was abandoned by the king and sent to Yongcheng, he was a little worried about the child. Now seeing that he has grown a lot taller and his face seems to have become fatter, he can't help but feel relieved.
"The king sent me to Yongcheng to do some business."
When Fusu heard that it was his father who sent him, his eyes shifted between his great-mother and his uncle. If it was about his father, his great-mother would definitely not invite his uncle to dinner. It could only be related to his great-mother as well.
Thinking that his grandmother had been busy with the porcelain kiln in recent days, Fusu tilted his head and asked in a baby voice, "Is Uncle here about the porcelain?"
Mi Qi was speechless. He had not expected Fusu to be so perceptive. He smiled and said, "Indeed, Your Majesty wishes to make the porcelain kiln an official kiln. I am here to do just that!"
It turned out that he came to send money to his grandmother!
Fusu covered his mouth and laughed.
Ziying patted the seat next to him and urged, "Brother, please sit down and eat quickly."
Fusu took Mi Qi's hand and ran over, pulling him to sit down. "It's a rare visit from my uncle. The food here is delicious. I'm sure you'll like it."
Ziying glanced at Fusu quietly. It was rare to see Fusu so enthusiastic towards others. He secretly looked at the person beside Fusu.
He is not as good-looking as Uncle Qin Wang, nor as smart as Uncle Qin Wang, and he looks stupid.
Thinking of the time when his uncle the King of Qin pretended to be him, Ziying curled his lips, thinking that his uncle the King of Qin must have been acting stupidly at that time.
Zhao Yuanxi didn't expect that Fusu liked his uncle so much!
Mi Qi was also very kind to Fusu, and even the smile on his face was very genuine.
Fusu's mother was a Chu person, and Mi Qi was also half Chu person. The relationship between the two was indeed closer than that of others.
Zhao Yuanxi poured Mi Qi a bowl of sweet soup and said to him, "I had someone prepare this especially for you. Lord Changping, please have a taste."
Mi Qi was flattered and quickly took it with both hands, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Eat! There are not so many rules when eating at my place." Zhao Yuanxi said with a smile.
Having said that, Mi Qi still didn't dare to relax at all. He felt like he might be dreaming.
The taste of the sweet soup was not like the common taste in Qin State. After savoring it, Mi Qi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Is this the flavor of Chu?"
"Although Lord Changping has rarely been to the State of Chu, he knows the flavor of the country."
Mi Qi smiled and explained, "My father is from Chu, and this sweet soup is his favorite. I ate it a lot when I was a child, but I don't eat it much anymore when I grow up."
Or perhaps it could be said that after King Kaolie of Chu left Qin, Mi Qi never tasted the Chu cuisine again.
Zhao Yuanxi had heard of his experience. If Changping Jun had returned to Chu with King Kaolie of Chu, the current King of Chu might not be the ten-year-old child, but the current Changping Jun.
However, King Kaolie of Chu would rather choose a ten-year-old child to succeed to the throne than consider Mi Qi. In fact, that was abandoning him!
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't understand the power struggle! She just felt that King Kaolie of Chu was too irresponsible. How was this different from Zichu who abandoned Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng and secretly returned to Qin?
It can only be said that Mi Qi was lucky. The State of Qin did not treat him harshly, and the King of Qin he met was a person who valued ability and did not care about status. Otherwise, even if Changping Jun's biological mother was a princess of Qin, he would be no different from a hostage.
Zhao Yuanxi said directly, "If you like, you can come to Yongcheng to eat here anytime. I'll ask You to cook for you."
Mi Qi was slightly stunned. He actually heard the love and concern of an elder in the words of Queen Mother Zhao.
This made him feel a little at a loss, not knowing what to do, and he could only stammer in reply, "Thank you very much, Queen Mother."
As he could sit in the position of Shaofu, he was naturally no ordinary person. He had seen a lot of intrigues between people, and being caught off guard by a trace of true love was enough to make his heart tremble.
He lowered his head to eat, but the rice seemed to have some other flavor mixed in.
Fusu said crisply, "Uncle Mi, there's no need to thank me. Grandmother loves us the most. She was the same when father came here!"
Mi Qi's hands trembled, not knowing whether he was frightened or moved.
After sending Mi Qi away, Zhao Yuanxi grabbed Fusu and brought him to his side, rubbing his little face. "Tell me the truth, why were you so enthusiastic just now?"
I didn't see Fusu smiling when Ying Zheng came over before, so why is he so lively with Mi Qi?
Fusu's face was pinched, and his words were a little unclear. He blinked his big eyes and said softly, "Am I not providing emotional value to people as the Great Mother said? The Great Mother wants to win him over, and I want him to trust the Great Mother more!"
Didn’t he do a good job just now?
Fusu felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did!
Ziying sat aside, looking like a little adult, with his belly protruding, and his hands on his hips, saying, "But big brother, that was not like you just now. It felt very strange."
He didn't dare to speak just now, for fear that he would laugh out loud in the next second.
Zhao Yuanxi was also a little amused and confused. He didn't expect this to be the reason.
She rubbed Fusu's small bun and said softly, "This is something adults should consider. You are still young, so there is no need to think so much!"
The most precious thing about a child is his innocent heart, and she actually doesn't want it to be stained with other colors too early.
"But I'm already four years old!" Fusu tried to argue. After all, he was no longer a three-year-old child.
"Alright! I know Fusu is no longer a three-year-old child, so let me put it this way! If Ziying was being nice to you just to get you to copy his homework, would you be happy?"
Fusu pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes."
