“Brother…”
"What's going on?"
"We were just sitting there in the tree, and we saw two little guys. They were shooting slingshots at us."
Xia Hongwei said while covering his eyes.
"Two little brats?"
Zhao Yingyi said, "From what they heard, they should be the young master and young lady of the palace."
Seeing that it was getting late, they went to the back door and found Xia Hongji.
"Third brother, how is it?"
"I heard the servants here chatting, and it seems that there is no mistress in the house, only an old lady. There are also people like the empress dowager and the emperor, but I don't quite understand them."
Xia Hongda just nodded. He could probably guess that the Prince Yi's Mansion was probably a dangerous place.
But he didn't quite understand why it had to be his mother?
Could it really be Grandma Zheng who brought them together?
Several people were standing not far from the back door of the palace, waiting for Xia Hongda's next arrangement.
"Big Baby, what are you doing here?"
Xia Hongda looked up when he heard the voice and saw several guards in front of him.
He knew the person in the front.
"Uncle Mu, why are you here?"
"What are you talking about? Did you go to the palace to cause trouble?"
Xia Hongda said seriously, "No, how could I cause trouble?"
"alright."
Xia Hongda looked back and saw a person standing there.
The man was dressed gorgeously and had an extraordinary demeanor, not like an ordinary person.
"What are you standing there for? Call me Prince."
It was only then that Xia Hongda remembered that Uncle Mu seemed to be working in the prince's mansion.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Xia Hongda took the lead in saluting, and the children behind him also quickly saluted.
"Big Baby has become distant from me and doesn't recognize me anymore?"
Xia Hongda felt that the man's voice was somewhat familiar, and he called him Big Wa, so he must know him.
He looked up and the man came closer.
After seeing who it was, Xia Hongda's eyes widened. "Who are you? Uncle Zheng?"
The children at the back all raised their heads when they heard Uncle Zheng.
What?
Uncle Zheng?
Which Uncle Zheng?
Could it be the one they met before?
"Yeah, I've grown a lot taller."
Zheng Yi invited several children to the palace. The children were not very restrained, and Xia Hongda had a lot to say.
"How come you guys have time to hang out here?"
The children looked at each other without saying anything.
Finally, Xia Hongda did not answer but asked, "Uncle Zheng, are you Prince Yi?"
Zheng Yi nodded, "It's genuine."
"So, you want to marry my mother?"
Zheng Yi almost spit out his tea. Although he had spread the news that he was going to marry Xia Manni, it had only been a day and the news had spread to the academy?
"Do you think it's okay?"
Xia Hongda was choked by his words. How should he respond?
He looked at the second oldest who looked ready to fight, the third oldest who looked gossipy, and the fourth oldest who looked indifferent.
"Second brother, take them out and wait for me."
Xia Hongwei had no objection and just said that someone called them.
"Come here, bring some food to the young masters."
Zheng Yi watched Xia Hongda arranging his younger brother and sister like a little adult, so he asked someone to prepare some food for the children.
Judging from the meaning, there must be something to say to him.
After everyone else left, Xia Hongda stood up and saluted Zheng Yi.
"Your Majesty, I want to know what's going on."
"Big boy, there's no need to be so polite..."
"Your Majesty, just call me Xia Hongda."
Zheng Yi didn't get angry, but nodded and said with a smile: "Hongda has indeed grown up and is different from before."
Xia Hongda did not react and looked straight ahead.
Although he didn't hate Uncle Zheng as much as he hated Uncle Dayong.
But this doesn't mean that anyone can marry his mother?
"I still remember when you were little, you just hid behind your grandma..."
Having said that, Xia Hongda looked straight at Zheng Yi.
"Why? Didn't you ask me if I remembered Shizai Village? I just found out a while ago that your home is actually Brother Xia's. Yingyan and I have been to your home..."
Xia Hongda didn't expect that the uncle was really Zheng Yi.
"Your Majesty, are you trying to get close to me?"
Zheng Yi touched his nose. He didn't expect Xia Hongda to be so sensitive.
"Don't you want your mother to get married?"
"Then why did you marry my mother? You are a prince..."
In the end, Zheng Yi had to give in, and neither of them answered each other's questions.
He sighed and said, "I like your mother and want to marry her, that's all."
Xia Hongda was a little surprised by this answer. It was not that he felt that Xia Manni was not worthy of Zheng Yi, but he was surprised by Zheng Yi's honesty.
"However, your mother doesn't know. But she's not very opposed to it now. If she marries me, it will be more convenient for her to take care of you."
"Don't worry about us, as long as my mother is willing."
Zheng Yi asked in return: "Are you willing?"
Xia Hongda thought about it and decided that he would definitely not be willing to marry the prince.
But if it was to marry Uncle Zheng, he would not be so opposed.
"Uncle Zheng, I listen to my mother."
Zheng Yi understood, at least it was no longer an obstacle for Xia Hongda.
As soon as he left the palace today, he received news that several children had broken into the palace.
He even had a fight with the young masters and young ladies in the family. He thought the empress dowager had discovered something and rushed back in a hurry.
