Yan Bao and his friends had a picnic on the grass. They had some snacks to satisfy their cravings. After they had eaten and drunk their fill and basked in the sun for a while, they slowly went back.
Yan Bao asked Ah Huai: "About when will you leave the capital?"
"The day after tomorrow, there are still a lot of things to deal with on the construction site, and I can't leave for too long." Ah Huai knew his responsibilities. If he could help build the railway, he would be willing to stay on the construction site.
His poor legs and feet do not affect his ability to go up and down the mountain.
His father did not treat him as a useless person, which touched Ah Huai very much. He hoped that his efforts would be recognized by his father.
"I'll take you there."
"Okay!" Ah Huai was happy.
Before leaving, Ah Huai went to see the emperor. The emperor had lunch with him, and the father and son chatted for a while, mostly about the construction of the railway and Ah Huai's marriage.
Ah Huai said, "Father, there's no rush. Once this railway is completed, we'll consider getting married. Right now, the railway is a bit troublesome, so I don't have any plans to get married for the time being."
The emperor was so angry that he almost hit someone. No one wanted to get married and they all had their own ideas!
When he was a prince, whatever the late emperor said was the truth, and he dared not bargain. His sons were just here to collect debts, and each of them was a troublesome thing.
The emperor was furious and said, "Okay, okay, don't get married, just stay single!"
Ah Huai: “…”
Ahem, if my father allows it, it’s not impossible.
There is only one Yan Bao in the world, and she is already the lover of Xie Zhiluo. I am afraid she won’t be able to find a second one.
But then I have to remain single!
Before leaving the palace, Ah Huai went to see Xie Zhiluo. The two brothers drank a cup of tea. Ah Huai said, "I'm leaving the capital tomorrow. Yan Bao said he would see me off. Do you want to see me off?"
Xie Zhiluo was originally unwilling to do so because the train station was right there and he wouldn't run away.
If Yan Bao went, Xie Zhiluo would have no choice but to go.
Xie Zhiluo nodded: "Okay, what time is the train?"
"Ten o'clock." Ah Huai glanced at the watch on Xie Zhiluo's wrist and felt a little sad. It was the watch given to Xie Zhiluo by Yan Bao. As far as he knew, only three people in Dajin had it.
One is the emperor, who was a 50th birthday gift from Yan Bao.
The other one is Shen Shoufu, who is also a birthday gift from Yan Bao.
The other one is the one on Xie Zhiluo's hand. It is a watch given by Yan Bao last year, which is specially used for telling time.
In addition to this watch, there is also a clock on the train, which can be used to check the time to avoid being late.
There is also a big clock at the station where everyone can check the time together.
They all have big clocks at home.
Ah Huai doesn't have such a small watch.
want to.
When he thought about how Brother Shen didn't have one, Ah Huai knew that given how much Yan Bao valued his family, he would definitely be ranked behind Brother Shen.
Xie Zhiluo noticed Ah Huai's gaze and subconsciously pulled his sleeve to cover his watch. This was his favorite thing. It could be used to tell time and it also represented Yan Bao's preference for him.
Knowing that Ah Huai wanted it, Yan Bao didn't give it to her, but only gave it to herself, not even to her elder brother. This shows how important she is in her heart.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhiluo felt happy.
Ah Huai looked at the degree to which the corners of his mouth turned up, and his smug look, which was so infuriating.
Ah Huai patted Xie Zhiluo on the shoulder and said, "Be good to Yan Bao. If Yan Bao still doesn't want to get married, don't force her."
Xie Zhiluo nodded: "I'll see you off tomorrow."
"I know you want to see Yan Bao, so I won't expose you." Ah Huai waved his hand and left.
Xie Zhiluo smiled, lowered his brows and admired the watch, watching the hands move. He thought of the way Yan Bao looked when he gave her the watch. He wanted to kiss her at that time, but was afraid of offending Yan Bao.
Only now do I realize that he should have kissed her then.
Yan Bao seemed to like kissing her very much.
Thinking of this, his face gradually became hot, and the tips of his ears turned red. Xie Zhiluo's eyes were like water, gentle and affectionate.
Knowing that Ah Huai was leaving tomorrow, Yan Bao asked the kitchen to braise a pot of meat and make some lemon chicken feet in the evening. Tiantian ate the lemon chicken feet while praising her aunt for her good cooking skills and how amazing she was.
Yan Bao was so flattered that he puffed up his lips. He said, "This sweet little mouth is not in vain. These are all yours. The others are from grandma. Please help deliver them to your grandma."
Xiao Tiantian smiled and nodded, holding the box and was about to go find Mrs. Shen.
Madam Shen came over by herself, holding a bundle in her hand: "These are the shoes and socks that mother prepared for Prince Huai. You can send them along as well. It is also a token of mother's thoughtfulness."
Ah Huai lived in the Shen family for a while and had a good relationship with the Shen family over the years.
Mrs. Shen treated him as her own son.
Ah Huai was also very close to Madam Shen. Although he never said it out loud, he actually treated her as his own mother.
Mrs. Shen also warned Yan Bao: "If you want to send someone off, just go and send them off, but you can't just send them off and not come back. Your father said that you are not allowed to run around, or he will be angry."
"Mom, you're overthinking it. Why would I run around? I'm staying in the capital to accompany my parents. I'm not going anywhere!" Yan Bao hugged Madam Shen and acted coquettishly.
When Tiantian saw this, she also started to act coquettishly.
Being hugged by two little guys, one big and one small, Mrs. Shen couldn't get angry at all. She was coaxed into a happy mood, and her eyes were filled with only love for the two children.
On the second day, Yan Bao and Zi Yun took a carriage out of the city. There were quite a few carriages on the way to the train station.
There is only one train every day, and many people cannot buy tickets, so tickets are in short supply.
The royal carriage is different. Even if it is empty, it will not be given to others to sit in.
Ah Huai knew that Yan Bao was coming to see him off, so he went to the waiting hall of the train station early and waited there. When he saw her, Ah Huai went to greet her with a smile. He walked so fast that his limp was more obvious, but Yan Bao didn't mind at all.
