Chapter 95 Uncle! I want a hug too!
Qilin and Jiang Xu looked at each other, but Xiao Mingzhe was unreasonable and Fang Qianxue was in his hands, so they could only watch Xiao Mingzhe holding Fang Qianxue and walking away.
After leaving the back mountain, the lights around the palace road gradually became brighter. Occasionally, eunuchs and palace maids passed by. When they saw King Beining holding someone, they were amazed but dared not say a word. They all retreated to the side of the road and knelt down to pay their respects.
Fang Qianxue wanted to find a hole to crawl into. She was so old, but she had never been carried by a man for such a long distance like today. "Put me down! You can even call me a sedan chair."
"The officials in the palace cannot ride in sedan chairs."
"Then..." Fang Qianxue thought for a moment, "You can carry me on your back, that way you can save some energy."
"You think I'm not capable again?!" Xiao Mingzhe insisted on holding her horizontally.
On the rest of the way, Fang Qianxue felt that she was almost ashamed to death by being stared at, so she simply closed her eyes and buried her head in Xiao Mingzhe's chest.
Xiao Mingzhe didn't feel embarrassed. He completely ignored the strange looks from the people around him and couldn't help but smile.
The Qilin followed behind them with its head down, roaring from time to time to show that it was not convinced.
After the two people and one beast in front walked away, the eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the side of the road raised their heads with a look of surprise.
"The one who just passed by was the Nineteenth Prince? The sun really rose from the west!"
"Isn't it? The prince carried a woman out of the palace! Who is that woman?"
"I know! I heard that His Majesty gave a woman to the Nineteenth Prince today, but I didn't expect that he would be carried out of the palace right away!"
"You don't know this," an old eunuch covered his mouth and laughed, "Your Highness, this is called three years of not opening a business, and three years of eating after opening it."
"Oh, I see. Your Highness has been saving this for too long!"
Outside the palace gate, in front of the Fang family’s carriage.
Cui Shuang was stunned at the scene before her.
The master only said that he would take Qilin out of the palace today, so Cui Shuang made sufficient mental preparations in advance, but she didn't expect that the master was carried out of the palace by Prince Beining!
"Uncle, you can just take me here. I'll go back the rest of the way by myself," Fang Qianxue struggled for a while and wanted to jump down. "With Qilin following me, you don't have to worry about my safety."
"No." Xiao Mingzhe said as he carried her into the carriage and placed her on the cushion. "I have the final say. I won't feel at ease until I send you back home."
"You want to go back home with me?!" Fang Qianxue's face showed "No thanks".
"You've just moved into a new mansion, and I haven't visited you yet." Xiao Mingzhe suddenly noticed the peony flower hairpin on her head and pulled it off. "Why are you wearing something like this? Where's the Tianshan white jade hairpin I gave you?"
"That... is too valuable," Fang Qianxue said, "I put it away."
The carriage started moving, and the two sat facing each other in silence for a long time.
Xiao Mingzhe knocked the wooden hairpin on the small table twice to attract her attention: "When you divorced your husband, I helped you. Why are you pretending not to know me now?"
Today is the Queen Mother's birthday. When Fang Qianxue walked past him with Qilin, she didn't even look at him. Xiao Mingzhe felt that he had never suffered such a great humiliation and he felt terrible.
"How dare I pretend that I don't know you? It's just that it's inconvenient to greet my uncle in front of so many people." Fang Qianxue said as she lifted the curtain and saw Qilin following behind the carriage. There were many people watching on the road.
This guy even knows to give way to pedestrians. It seems that the Qilin is indeed a benevolent animal.
The carriage arrived in front of the Fang Mansion. Cui Shuang carefully opened the curtain and said, "My Lord, we are here."
Fang Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Mingzhe, her eyes seemed to be saying: Can we leave now?
“Thank you for your help today, Your Highness. Lu Cuishuang will help me in the rest of the way… ah?!”
Before she could finish her words, Xiao Mingzhe picked her up again without saying anything.
"How can you walk with your injured foot? I'd rather send you back home before I feel at ease."
Although Fang Qianxue kept refusing, Xiao Mingzhe insisted on doing what he wanted.
The servants in the Fang Mansion were all stunned when they saw Prince Beining carrying Fang Qianxue in.
When Fang Qingyuan and Fang Qingyao saw Fang Qianxue coming back, they immediately ran up to her, pulling Xiao Mingzhe's knees and calling her "Mom".
Xiao Mingzhe froze and couldn't move forward.
These two kids are really not afraid of strangers. Do you know each other? They dare to hug his knees!
If it were someone else, he would have kicked him away long ago.
"Yao'er, Yuan'er, don't be rude." Fang Qianxue's cheeks flushed.
"Who are you? Why are you hugging my mother?" Fang Qingyao asked, pointing at Xiao Mingzhe.
"He is my great uncle. My mother sprained her foot."
"Uncle!"
"Uncle! I want a hug too!" The two little kids shouted one after another and tried their best to climb onto Xiao Mingzhe.
"..." Xiao Mingzhe's face darkened, "I'm not your uncle!"
Why do you call him so old? "Little uncle" is fine, but "grand uncle" is unbearable!
Cui Shuang hurriedly grabbed Fang Qingyuan and Fang Qingyao, not knowing whether to cover their eyes or their mouths.
"Young Master, Young Miss, it's getting late. I will take you back to your room to rest. Don't disturb the adults."
After the two kids were taken away by Cui Shuang, Fang Qianxue blushed and said to Xiao Mingzhe angrily, "It's all your fault! I said I could walk on my own, but I was afraid I couldn't explain myself if the kids saw me..."
Xiao Mingzhe said nothing along the way. He followed the servant who led the way and carried her into the house and placed her on the soft couch in front of the window.
After entering the house, Xiao Mingzhe said, "What do you want to explain? In Shangjing City, I always do whatever I want and never have to explain to anyone."
Fang Qianxue knew that this person was unreasonable, so she had to say, "Uncle, please leave now!"
"I helped you, why don't you even offer me a sip of tea?" Xiao Mingzhe sat down on the square stool in a familiar manner, as if he didn't intend to leave.
Upon hearing this, Suiqiong hurried to make tea, and came back after a while: "Your Highness, please have some tea."
Fang Qianxue looked at the man who was leisurely drinking tea in front of her, with a look of "disappointment" written all over her face, but she didn't dare to speak too harshly: "I live alone now, there is no man at home, if you come in with me, it will inevitably cause gossip."
"Just let them talk." Xiao Mingzhe said, "What are you afraid of?"
Fang Qianxue was so anxious that she raised her voice unconsciously: "You are the prince, of course you are not afraid, but I am afraid! Yuaner and Yaoer are about to start their elementary school. If those rumors spread out, which teacher would dare to accept them?"
The scholars in Dayong were particularly pedantic. Those with bad family backgrounds could not even enter the academy, let alone take the imperial examinations.
Xiao Mingzhe rolled his dark eyes and said, "Reading Enlightenment... I just wanted to ask you, have you solved the household registration issue?"
Fang Qianxue becomes worried whenever the issue of setting up a household comes up.
"No, the clerk in charge of household registration said that Yuan'er is too young and they don't agree to register a household registration in his name."
