After pushing open the courtyard door, the young master grabbed Han Xiao's hand a little tighter. Han Xiao held it back to comfort the young master.
The emperor sat there drinking tea with an expressionless face, but Chu Jinglin, who was sitting next to him, could see that the emperor was a little impatient at this time.
"Jinglin, go see why Han Xiao hasn't come back yet."
Chu Jinglin gathered his sleeves and said softly, "Father, they are busy right now, let's wait a little longer."
The emperor also knew that Chu Jinglin was telling the truth, he was just a little nervous, and the closer it got to the father and son meeting, the more anxious he became.
Dexi said that Ruanruan looks very much like his father. He doesn't know if Ruanruan will blame him.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening outside, the emperor immediately stood up and nervously straightened his clothes.
Han Xiao led the young master in. The emperor's pupils shrank sharply when he saw the young master for the first time.
He knew that Ruanruan looked like Su Guijun back then, but he didn't expect them to be so similar.
It seemed like he met the teenage Su Guijun.
The emperor's hands began to tremble slightly, and he wanted to go forward and touch the young master's face.
The young master looked at the emperor warily and couldn't help but take a step back.
This step broke the emperor's filter. He understood that the person standing in front of him at this time was not the high-spirited Su Guijun, but their youngest son who had been living away from home for more than ten years.
Looking at the young master's wary eyes, the emperor felt a panic and unconsciously looked at Chu Jinglin for help.
Chu Jinglin sighed helplessly. He had known that this would be the result. He had advised the emperor, but the emperor would not listen and still stubbornly followed Dexi out of the palace.
"Ruanruan." Chu Jinglin stood up and called softly.
The young master looked at Chu Jinglin and then at the emperor, then nodded cautiously.
Chu Jinglin was a little depressed at this time. If his father hadn't insisted on coming with him, he would have been able to hug his sweet and soft brother.
And there is also my fair and tender nephew.
Han Xiao sensed the awkward atmosphere between the father and his two sons, touched his nose and said, "Well, let's sit down first. Ruanruan just finished her work. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Hmph, I'm glad you know." The emperor was already getting impatient waiting, and now that his youngest son was rejecting him so much, he was in an even worse mood.
When Han Xiao heard what the emperor said, he just shrugged and didn't think much about it.
But the young master was unwilling and stood behind Han Xiao angrily: "What right do you have to say that about my husband?"
The emperor was frightened by the young master's fierce expression and immediately explained: "No... I didn't say anything about him..."
The emperor fell silent after saying this, because he didn't know how to explain it to Ruanruan.
He could only look at the young master carefully, feeling annoyed in his heart, wondering why he couldn't help himself just now.
Han Xiao quickly pulled the young master into his arms: "It's okay, the emperor... He didn't scold me, it's just that I came late and made Third Brother and the others wait anxiously."
When the emperor saw that Han Xiao spoke for him, his impression of Han Xiao improved a lot. He was determined to wait for Han Mingyuan to come to court and find a reason to give him more rewards.
"But..." The young master wanted to refute, but Han Xiao covered his mouth.
"No buts, he is your father. Can you guys just talk it over if there is anything?" Han Xiao advised earnestly.
This was a matter between them as father and son, and it was inconvenient for him to get involved, so Han Xiao simply found an excuse to leave and leave the space to them.
Anyway, Chu Jinglin is here and nothing will happen since we are at home.
It seems that the emperor wants to recognize Ruanruan back. Anyway, no matter what, the emperor definitely has no ill will towards Ruanruan, otherwise he would not sneak out of the palace to see Ruanruan at this time.
Since she liked the young master so much, why did Su Guijun die in the first place? Han Xiao couldn't understand this and simply stopped thinking about it.
I went to Mr. Qinghe and brought Xiao Chaochao back.
When Han Xiao brought Chao Chao back, he walked around the door before knocking: "Third brother, Ruan Ruan..."
"Come in." Chu Jinglin's steady voice came from inside.
Han Xiao took a deep breath and carried Chao Chao in, first looking at the young master.
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to the young master, Han Xiao was still worried and wanted to check on the young master's condition.
Fortunately, the young master only had slightly red eyes, and nothing else was wrong.
"Your Majesty, Third Brother, I brought Chao Chao back. Come and see him."
Speaking of Chao Chao, the emperor immediately stood up and pushed away Chu Jinglin who was also pushing over: "I am your father, I will hold you first."
Chu Jinglin: “….”
After all, you are the emperor. It is a bit unsuitable for you to say such rash words.
But the emperor paid no attention to Chu Jinglin's expression. He carefully held Xiao Chaochao in his arms and said to the young master in a flattering tone, "I remember when your brother was just born, I held him in my arms. The baby who just started to speak was like a skinny monkey, very ugly..."
Chu Jinglin said helplessly: "Father, I'm still here."
The emperor rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "What's wrong with you? You were extremely ugly when you were a child. Your father almost wanted to give you away, but I stopped him and said to raise you. If you are still ugly when you grow up, I will give you away."
Chu Jinglin never thought that his childhood would be so full of twists and turns.
Han Xiao listened to the emperor reminiscing about the past, holding the young master's hand and laughing secretly.
But when the emperor looked at the young master, the expression on his face froze again.
The young master looked back at him and said, "What about me? Did you see me when you were a child?"
Han Xiao didn't know what was said between the three of them, but it seemed that the young master's hostility towards the emperor had decreased a lot.
The emperor opened his mouth, not knowing whether he should lie to the young master.
After a long while, the emperor sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Ruanruan. I wasn't around when your father gave birth to you..."
The young master's eyes suddenly dimmed, in fact he knew it too.
Daddy hates the emperor so much and has told him all these things, but the young master just wants to hear it from the emperor himself.
"So do you like my father? If you like him, why don't you protect him well?" This is what the young master cares about most.
The emperor's expression was solemn, but the look he gave the young master was full of love: "Of course I like your father. Your father is the one I love the most, but he doesn't love me. I used power to imprison him by my side. He was not happy at all after entering the palace. At that time, he was about to give birth. Before he gave birth, he only left me a suicide letter. When I found out, it was too late..."
This is also the thing the emperor regrets the most. If he had trusted Su He a little more, would their ending be different?
