Chapter 31: Visiting
She took a few steps forward and picked up the box. The pattern on the food box was indeed exactly the same as the one in Liyang Palace.
Zhao Yuanxi curiously opened the box and saw what was inside. He couldn't help but smile, "I was inconsiderate. Fortunately, You is here and prepared some snacks for you!"
She didn't make any sugar cakes today, so she subconsciously thought that she made some for Fusu as a snack.
When Ziying heard the word "dim sum", he immediately came over.
Zhao Yuanxi was helpless, "Aren't you full?"
"Grandmother said she has two stomachs, which can hold different things. Of course, I also have two stomachs." Ziying patted his belly to indicate that there was still room left.
Zhao Yuanxi was speechless. It was indeed easy to learn bad things but difficult to learn good things. Ziying had learned the jokes he made when he was greedy.
"If you want to eat it, you have to ask the owner first." Zhao Yuanxi closed the box and refused without emotion.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything good from his mother, Ziying turned around and took Fusu's hand, looking at him eagerly, "Brother, can I have a taste?"
When Fusu saw his grandmother pick up the box of snacks, he remembered that he had concealed the fact that he had eaten the snacks, and his heart beat faster. He was not afraid of his grandmother blaming him, but he was afraid of seeing her disappointed look.
Ziying was still holding his hand and acting coquettishly. Fusu pursed his lips and explained, "Ziying, eat if you want. This was originally given to you by the Great Mother!"
"Brother agreed!" Ziying rushed towards Zhao Yuanxi, his eyes smiling into little crescent moons.
After Ziying's commotion, Zhao Yuanxi had no time to notice the different meanings in Fusu's words. Moreover, in her opinion, what You gave was almost the same as what she gave.
A momentary negligence made Zhao Yuanxi lose the opportunity to discover the truth directly.
Although the cakes were delicious, Ziying was still full. After eating two, he could only look at the cakes helplessly, clenching his fists and saying bitterly, "When I grow up, I will definitely eat them all!"
"What a promising future!" Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help laughing.
Fusu was also laughing. Although he had only been with his grandmother and Ziying for less than half a day, he laughed more times than he had in the Xianyang Palace in a month.
He seemed to have come to a very good place indeed.
After Chunyu Yue entered Yongcheng, he separated from Fusu. As an outsider, he naturally could not live in the inner palace of Yongcheng.
As the place where the Qin State once stored classics, Hongwenguan naturally still preserves many precious books. Although Chunyu Yue was a bit pedantic, he also had a love of learning.
Once he entered here, he felt like a fish in water and immersed himself in these books.
When he came back to his senses from his studies, it was already noon.
He felt his empty stomach and asked the servant at the door, "Has the meal been delivered?"
"Master, lunch is not provided here. We need to prepare it ourselves."
Except for the officials in the inner palace, who are directly responsible for the Shaofu, most other officials in Yongcheng will choose to return home, or hire a cook together to solve the problem of eating.
Chunyu Yue had just arrived and went straight into the study. Naturally, no one invited him to have dinner with them. In addition, it was past dinner time and he couldn't find a suitable place to eat.
"Why didn't you remind me earlier!"
The servant trembled with fear, "The master once said that we are not allowed to disturb you when you are reading."
Chunyu Yue's face darkened. With an empty stomach, he had no intention of studying.
While he was still in Xianyang, he didn't have to worry about this at all.
When Fusu was being taught, the palace servants would always have food ready for him; if he was somewhere else, his family would naturally prepare everything for him.
"Master, how about I go out and buy some food?"
Chunyu Yue nodded slightly. By the time the servants brought back the food, he was already starving.
It turns out that when people are hungry, all the rules can be thrown out of their minds, and all three bowls of food were eaten up.
The discomfort in his stomach disappeared, and Chunyu Yue finally had time to ask about Fusu's condition.
The servant bowed his head and replied, "I heard from the people inside that Prince Fusu is now living in the Queen Mother's palace, and his daily life is taken care of by the Queen Mother."
Chunyu Yue looked grim. As the teacher of the Qin prince, he naturally knew more secrets of the Qin royal family.
Although the rumors about the Queen Mother in Xianyang City were a bit exaggerated, they were all true.
In his opinion, the queen mother was an ignorant woman dominated by desire. Asking her to take care of Fusu was tantamount to pushing Fusu into the cesspool.
No! Chunyu Yue stood up suddenly. He had to bring Prince Fusu back. If he stayed with the Queen Mother, Prince Fusu would never be able to return to Xianyang.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Liyang Palace!"
Chunyu Yue hurried to the gate of Liyang Palace.
See someone else coming?
Zhang Han, who was guarding the door, shouted, "Stop! Who are you and why are you trespassing into Liyang Palace?"
Chunyu Yue bowed and said, "I am Chunyu Yue, the teacher of Master Fusu, and I have come to pay my respects to you, Master."
After several rounds of negotiations, Chunyu Yue finally followed Zhang Han into the Liyang Palace. The further they went, the more remote the place became, and his heart sank.
Then, Chunyu Yue saw the most unpleasant scene in his life!
The prince of Qin, who he had taught to be a modest gentleman, was now wearing a short robe and watering the ground with a watering can. Next to him was an ignorant child running around barefoot on the ground.
Not far away, a woman, also dressed simply, was leisurely fishing with a fishing rod.
Chunyu Yue felt like the sky was falling.
Where's his son? Who's this guy tinkering in the mud?
Chunyu Yue turned his head to look at Zhang Han who brought him here, as if to confirm that he was not mistaken.
Zhang Han was no longer surprised by this and saluted Zhao Yuanxi from a distance, "Empress Dowager, Prince Fusu's teacher is here."
Upon hearing this, the person who reacted the most was not Zhao Yuanxi, but Fusu.
He stood there frozen, hiding the water scoop in his hand behind his back, looking like he was ready to be scolded.
Zhao Yuanxi's fishing rod just moved, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, please wait a moment! Fusu, quickly bring me the net."
Fusu stamped his feet in anxiety, not caring that his teacher would scold him, and hurried to get the scoop net for Zhao Yuanxi.
He had only planted the seeds in the morning and had no time to water them. In the afternoon, after Zhao Yuanxi had a good rest with his two children, he planned to continue the work.
Because the ground had been turned over, many earthworms came out of the soil, and Zhao Yuanxi was tempted to go fishing.
After discussing with the two children, she started fishing. As for the work of watering the fields, she temporarily left it to the two children.
After nearly an hour, Zhao Yuanxi only caught a small fish the size of a palm, but this time she clearly felt that the fish was very big, so she didn't care about anything else.
Chunyu Yue's eyelids twitched. He walked forward and held Fusu's shoulders. Just as he was about to speak, the "slap" with a fishy smell suddenly hit his face.
Chunyu Yue was hit twice in the face by the fish tail, and he was stunned immediately, with his eyes as big as a pair of copper bells.
