Chapter 200: Thank you for your reply: If you two really have nothing to do, just have another child
"Gardenia, ask someone to go to the kitchen and tell her that Manman is coming home for dinner tonight. Ask the kitchen to make more of Manman's favorite dishes and some fresh cakes."
"Okay! Princess, I'll go right away."
Dali Temple.
As soon as the third prince heard the bell for the end of his duty, he ran to find Xie Hui, wanting him to go into the palace with him. However, before he even reached his duty room, he saw Xie Hui coming out, walking out hurriedly.
Seeing him like this, the Third Prince thought that some urgent case had happened, so he ran up to him and asked, "You have a deadline! What happened? Is there a case?"
Xie Hui kept walking and shook his head, "No."
"Then why are you in such a hurry to go?" The third prince reached out and grabbed Xie Hui, "Accompany me into the palace."
Xie Hui had no choice but to stop and say, "You are a prince, and you want me to accompany you to the palace?" He thought the Third Prince was quite strange. He was such a grown man, but he still needed someone to accompany him home.
"Oh, my father is planning another family banquet and has invited all of us, his children, to attend. I don't know what he's going to do. I just want you to go with me so that if my father asks me how I'm doing in the Dali Temple, you can say a few good words for me!"
"Let go, I'm not going. Manman is coming to my house for dinner tonight, and I have to go with her."
As Xie Hui was speaking, he just happened to see Shen Yun coming out, and he quickly hid away from the Third Prince.
"Are you going home, uncle? I'll go with you."
Shen Yun also knew that the young lady was going to return home to thank the emperor. He nodded and said hello to the Third Prince. Then the two of them left the Dali Temple together.
No matter which prince he is or which yamen he goes to, the only thing that matters is his official position, not his status. Otherwise, he will have no work to do all day and will just be serving his master.
The third prince stood there, looking at his colleagues who were happily leaving their shifts. He felt infinite sadness in his heart and could only pray silently that there would be too many people tonight so that they would not be able to scold him.
Xie Hui walked to and from work, so he had to take Shen Yun's carriage to go to Shen's house.
As soon as he got home and got out of the car, Shen Yun told the servants, "Send someone to call the girl out."
After a while, a girl in a light blue skirt ran towards the door. It was an early August afternoon and the sun was still hot, casting a golden glow on the girl.
Xie Hui resisted the urge to open his arms to catch her, and watched her run over with a smile.
Shen Yun asked angrily, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Shen Yuan chuckled and said nothing.
"Okay, you two go ahead and come home early after dinner."
"Got it! Dad, let's go then." Shen Yuan waved to Shen Yun seriously.
Xie Hui bowed to Shen Yun and said, "Uncle, I will send Manman back early after dinner."
"Um."
After the two of them walked out of the door, Shen Yun turned around and looked at the young lady's back. The young lady was taken away like that. The old father couldn't help but think about the future and felt melancholy for a while.
However, Shen Yuan seemed to be able to guess what her father was thinking. She turned around and waved to her father with a smile on her face, which made Shen Yun at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
After getting on the carriage, Shen Yuan half-jokingly thanked him and said, "Brother Youqi, why don't you marry into the family in the future?" She just saw her father like that and felt that he was a bit pitiful. Without her as a daughter at home in the future, her father might secretly cry in the middle of the night.
Xie Hui nodded without hesitation, "Okay."
"Are you serious?"
Xie Hui continued to nod, and he told Shen Yuan, "My parents are already living without a son. My mother said that when my father retires, they will go to travel around Dazhao."
These two people, who are nearly fifty years old, have become extremely sloppy recently, and I don't know what happened. If one day his mother told him that he would have a younger sister soon, he would not find it strange.
Shen Yuan thought of Xie Yuan's appearance and said hesitantly, "Isn't it too early for my uncle to retire?"
"…It's not impossible to sue if you really want to." Of course, Xie Hui felt that if his uncle knew that his father was going to leave the capital with his mother to travel around Dazhao after retiring, he might not agree to let him go.
The two arrived at the Princess's Mansion, and before they even stepped out of the front yard, the Princess and Xie Yuan came out to greet them.
Before Shen Yuan could even open his mouth, he was pulled into the sweet and soft arms.
Although Xie Yuan couldn't reach out, he never took his eyes off her. At this time, Xie Hui really wanted his parents to have another daughter, so that they wouldn't have to keep an eye on his family.
"Finally you're here, dear. Are you hungry? The food is ready in the kitchen and will be served as soon as you come. Today, it's all your favorite food."
"Okay, thank you, auntie and uncle, I will definitely eat two more bowls tonight."
"Haha! Just eat one more bowl, but don't fill your stomach."
Xie Hui followed the three of them and looked up at the sky. The birds resting in the trees were frightened by his father's laughter and flapped their wings and flew away.
The chef of the Princess's Mansion once again used all his skills today. The portion of each dish was not large, but the variety of dishes was the same as before, so much that Shen Yuan was dazzled.
"There's a period, just stand there and pick up the food for me!"
Xie Yuan didn't even need the maids to help, he just lifted his sleeves to pick up food for the princess, and didn't forget to remind his silly son. He shook his head in his heart, this child, compared to him, is still far behind.
When the meal was almost finished, Shen Yuan finally spoke about the purpose of his visit, "Aunt, Uncle, it's my birthday in a few days, and I'd like to invite you to my house for dinner."
"Okay, your uncle and I will definitely go."
"Also, my elder sister is getting married in September. After her birthday celebration, I will go to Jinling and will be away for a while before I can come back."
Of course, it would be more sincere if she came in person to talk about the meal. On the tenth day, taking advantage of the day off, she and her brother and sister-in-law went to the He family together.
"We were told about this sometime ago. Please also tell your sister for us. We wish your sister and her husband a happy and harmonious life." Princess Kangle liked both girls of the Shen family very much. They had different personalities, but they were both first-class good girls.
After hearing what her son said last time, Princess Kangle specially prepared a gift for Shen Xi, which Manman could also take to Jinling when the time comes.
"Thank you. I will definitely pass on your message. I also hope that my sister and her future brother-in-law will be as loving as you and uncle."
Shen Yuan's words made Xie Yuan's mouth almost grin from ear to ear. That's right, he and the princess were the example of love in Dazhao!
Xie Hui noticed Shen Yuan touching his stomach and whispered, "Don't eat if you're full."
"What's wrong? Are you tired? How about asking the kitchen to make a bowl of soup to help you digest the food?"
"No, no." Shen Yuan waved his hands quickly, "I ate a little too much, it will be fine after a while."
After finishing their meal, they sat for a while, then Xie Hui stood up first and said he wanted to send Manman back. Princess Kangle and Xie Yuan sent them to the door, still reluctant to leave.
Before getting on the carriage, Xie Hui said something to the driver and asked him to go to a place first before returning to the Shen Mansion.
