Chapter 1018, Seven Years
This New Year in Liangdu was the happiest year Xiao Morong had ever had. There were no constraints from his parents, nor any restrictions from various etiquette and rules. As long as it didn't involve any risks, he could play however he wanted, and Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang never interfered.
Daozi followed Xiao Molong around and had a lot of fun playing with him every day.
During the Chinese New Year, Xiao Mokuan, Xiao Mobao, and Xiao Moxu would often come to the palace to play, but Xiao Moqing was the only one who was confined at home by Madam An.
In response, those who knew about this shook their heads speechlessly.
Xiao Moqing is the eldest prince's son. He came to Xiliang to show his filial piety to the Duke of Fuguo on behalf of his father. The An family actually refused to let him enter the Weiyuan Palace. This was really stupid.
After the Chinese New Year, the An family will return to Beijing, and Xiao Moqing will naturally follow them.
Before leaving, the An family still put on a show and asked Xiao Moqing, accompanied by the An family guards, to come to the palace to say goodbye to Gu Jian.
"Are you going back to Beijing?"
Daohua did not tell Daozi about the matters between adults. Daozi was very surprised to know that Xiao Moqing was going back to Beijing.
During this period, Xiao Moqing had heard Madam An speak ill of the Weiyuan Palace a lot. He also had some grudges against Daozi. "Yes, I will be able to leave this godforsaken Xiliang soon."
Daozi looked a little unhappy: "Since you don't like it here, don't come here in the future."
Xiao Moqing snorted, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. Who cares?" Then he looked at Xiao Moreng and the others, "Fourth brother, do you want to come back to Beijing with me?"
Xiao Morong: "Grandfather Emperor didn't order us to go back."
Xiao Moqing was a little disappointed. They came here together, but now he was the only one going back. He felt a little uncomfortable.
Thinking that he would never be able to play on slides again after leaving Xiliang, Xiao Moqing looked at Daozi and said, "I also want to go to your amusement park to play."
Daozi was not a stingy person and agreed generously.
It was not until the afternoon that Xiao Moqing reluctantly prepared to leave.
Seeing Xiao Moqing staring at his amusement park with reluctance, Daozi thought for a moment and asked the servant to bring the scooter over: "Don't you like scooters? I'll give it to you."
Xiao Moqing didn't expect Daozi to give him something. He took the scooter with some surprise and said, "Thank you."
Daozi waved his hand proudly: "You're welcome, we are brothers after all."
Hearing Daozi say this, Xiao Moqing's eyes lit up, and he asked a little more presumptuously: "Since we are brothers, can you give me two more things?"
Daozi looked wary: "What else do you want?"
Xiao Moqing said quickly, "I also want your Calabash Brothers storybooks and building blocks."
Daozi shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, the storybook was drawn by my mother herself, I can't give it to you."
Seeing Xiao Moqing's disappointed face, Daozi said with a pained heart, "I'll give you a set of building blocks, okay?"
Although he didn't get the storybook, Xiao Moqing was still very happy because he got the building blocks.
The servant brought the building blocks and put them directly on the carriage. There was also rice flowers on the carriage for Cheng Yi to give to Xiao Moqing. Just like that, after saying goodbye to everyone, Xiao Moqing left the palace.
Just as the An family was about to set off to return to Beijing, Prince Ping also received the painting that Daozi had painted for him.
The painting of rice is very naive. The hungry wolf represents the An family, the fat meat represents Xiao Yeyang, and the tiger that comes out majestically to drive away the hungry wolf represents Prince Ping.
Through guesswork and Xiao Yeyang's letter, Prince Ping finally understood his grandson's paintings.
"Hahaha, this grandson of mine is so smart. He's not even five years old yet, but he knows how to travel thousands of miles to get help."
Looking at the tiger in the painting, Prince Ping was very satisfied.
In Prince Ping's Mansion, he is still the most powerful.
"They say children have the sharpest eyes, and it's true!"
Prince Ping smiled and handed the painting to the servant, asking him to frame it immediately, and then he picked up Xiao Yeyang's letter again and began to read it.
Knowing that the old lady of the An family had angered her daughter-in-law so much that she had a miscarriage, Prince Ping was also furious: "This An family, they bully others and even bully Ye Yang and his wife. Do they still take me seriously?"
Immediately, Prince Ping went to the palace to see the emperor, carrying the newly acquired pair of parrots.
When his son and daughter-in-law were bullied, he had to go to his brother the emperor to complain.
Because An Zhixing secretly dug up the Wei family's property in Xiliang, Concubine An and the eldest prince had a hard time recently. Now, with Prince Ping finding fault with them in public from time to time, both of them were miserable.
Prince Ping had no power, so he never had any scruples in his actions. He said whatever he wanted to say, and in the end, the eldest prince even took a detour when he saw him.
When Prime Minister Yang's mother held a birthday party, the eldest prince didn't even dare to show up.
It's nothing else, Prince Ping also went to the Yang family.
Nowadays, the eldest prince would deliberately avoid any occasion where Prince Ping was present, because this uncle didn't care about face at all and would really dare to scold him in public.
He had to avoid it for the sake of his dignity.
After returning to the eldest prince's mansion, the eldest prince was very angry.
"settle down."
He used the An family to help himself, not to make enemies for him.
This time when he went to Xiliang, not only did he not get the title he wanted, but he also offended Prince Ping and Xiao Yeyang and his wife. Whenever he thought of this, he got a terrible headache.
Seeing that the eldest prince looked unhappy, the eldest prince's wife asked the eunuch for help. After learning the whole story, she thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, if it's me, you should also restrain the An family."
Seeing that the eldest prince remained silent, he continued, "Yes, Xiao Yeyang and his wife are not easy to deal with either. But why are the Du and Chang families all fine, but only the An family was sent back?"
The eldest prince frowned. The An family was his mother's family, so he couldn't say anything too harsh. Thinking of this, he stood up irritably and said, "I understand."
Looking at the eldest prince striding away, the eldest prince's wife sneered. Although the An family was the eldest prince's in-laws, she was also extremely fed up with the An family.
The old lady of the An family was even more annoying. Relying on her status as an elder, she repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the eldest prince's mansion, which really made her unbearable.
Why did she come back so soon? If she were to ask herself, it would be better for the old lady of the An family to stay in Xiliang forever. She never wanted to see that old face again.
pity
However, this time she was sent back in such a humiliating way. Let's see if she dares to act arrogantly in the future by relying on the power of the imperial concubine and the eldest prince.
Weiyuan Palace.
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Daozi came to see Xiao Yeyang early in the morning. The father and son agreed to go out shopping today.
"Mom, if I see something fun, I'll bring it to you." After a pause, he added, "If there's anything delicious, I'll buy it for you too."
Daohua laughed: "Have fun, Mom has everything she needs. After you leave the house, you and your fourth brother must stay close to your father and don't get separated."
Daozi listened obediently without feeling annoyed, because he knew that if his mother did not agree to let him leave the house, he probably would not be able to leave.
After breakfast, Xiao Yeyang took Daozi and Xiao Morong out of the house.
Not long after they left, Han Xinran arrived.
"sister in law!"
Han Xinran saw Daohua trying to get up and quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Are you about to give birth? Your belly is too big."
Daohua smiled and nodded: "The due date is mid to late February."
Han Xinran looked at Daohua's belly and said, "It's good to have twins, but it's too hard for you."
Daohua smiled and said, "Giving birth to two children at once will free me from worry in the future."
Han Xinran didn't respond. In her opinion, it was better for a woman to have more children. She smiled and talked about other things: "Mother and grandmother knew you were about to give birth, so they sent a lot of things this time. I brought them to you."
Thinking of her family whom she hadn't seen for many years, Daohua sighed, "I've been in Xiliang for seven years. I haven't seen my grandmother and my parents in seven years. I don't know when I'll be able to see them again."
