Chapter 1063 You’re Welcome
Daohua received the news from Xiao Yeyang and learned that the emperor and the eldest prince were going to Prince Ping's mansion for lunch. Without even bothering to check the warehouse, she hurried back to the mansion and personally supervised the kitchen staff to cook.
When the emperor and his entourage arrived, the food was already prepared.
After walking for a long time with the rice stalks in his arms, the emperor felt hungry and went directly to the dining room under the guidance of Prince Ping.
After Eunuch An checked all the food with a silver needle, Daohua asked Guyu to bring a few maids she was used to serving the dishes.
In the dining room, the eldest prince and his brothers thought they could dine at the same table with the emperor this time, but unexpectedly, the emperor sat down at the main table holding Dao Mang and carefully placed the little girl at the next seat.
Seeing this, the eldest princes once again realized how much the emperor loved rice stalks.
The little girl is well-behaved and cute, and they are willing to smile at her when they see her. The emperor likes to carry the little girl while shopping, perhaps because he wants to experience the fun of grandfather and grandson.
But bringing a little girl to the table to eat together is a bit too much.
You know, the eldest princes have grown up and have had very few opportunities to dine at the same table with the emperor in private, except for palace banquets.
However, the next scene made the eldest princes' faces turn pale.
The three little ones always ate at the same table, so when they saw Dao Mang sitting down, Dao Miao naturally followed and sat on the other side of the emperor.
Not only that, Daozi also wanted to pull Xiao Morong over, but unfortunately, he couldn't pull him over.
Xiao Morong grew up in the royal family, and the rules of etiquette were ingrained in his bones. He didn't have the courage to sit at the table without the emperor's consent, let alone sit at the same table with the emperor.
Didn’t you see that even Prince Ping, the master, stood there without moving until the emperor spoke?
After failing to pull Xiao Morong, Daozi was a little confused: "Fourth brother, dinner is about to start, let's sit down!"
Xiao Morong felt a little embarrassed and shook his head slightly at Daozi.
At this time, the emperor spoke: "Mo Rong, please sit down. Today, we, the grandfather and the grandson, will eat at the same table. As for your father and others, please have them sit at another table."
"Grandson will follow the emperor's orders." After saying that, Xiao Morong quickly glanced at the Fourth Prince, then let Daozi pull him to sit down.
The emperor's order had been given, and the eldest prince and his companions could only sit at the next table reluctantly.
After sitting down, the eldest prince and the others all looked at the fourth prince at the same time, regretting in their hearts that they did not bring their legitimate son with them when they went out today.
The Fourth Prince looked at his nose and his heart with an indifferent expression. He had an ear disease and did not have much fighting spirit, but as the eldest son was extremely intelligent and was valued by his father, he would not give up the honor and favor that belonged to his son.
Since only male relatives were present, Daohua did not come to eat. Xiao Yeyang wanted to entertain the eldest prince and others, so Prince Ping automatically stayed at the emperor's table to look after the three children.
Sanxiao had been hungry for a long time, and when he saw everyone was seated, he all looked at the emperor.
The emperor was not surprised that Daozi was well-mannered. After all, the child was already 8 years old and had already started school. But he was a little surprised that the twins were also so sensible.
The emperor smiled and took up the chopsticks first: "Let's eat." After that, he picked up the first chopstick of food.
The three children all looked at Prince Ping again.
After spending the past few days together, Prince Ping was no longer unfamiliar with some of Sanxiao's habits, and immediately picked up his chopsticks to eat.
The two elders started eating. Sanxiao was no longer polite. He picked up the chopsticks swiftly and reached for his favorite dishes quickly and accurately.
When the twins were just over one year old, they were trained by their older brother to eat alone with chopsticks. Now they are very good at using chopsticks and can pick up food accurately with every pick-up.
This left the emperor and Xiao Morong stunned.
Sanxiao didn't waste time while eating, and his cheeks were puffed up in a short while.
Daozi was eating diligently when she noticed that the Emperor and Xiao Morong hadn't touched their chopsticks. She immediately said, "Grandpa Emperor, Fourth Brother, please eat quickly. You're in my house, so don't be polite!"
The young master's posture was perfectly controlled.
The emperor's mouth twitched. He acted like a master in front of him and asked him to be rude?
Not to mention, he had never had this kind of experience before.
Seeing Prince Ping and the three children eating with relish, and then looking at his grandson Xiao Moleng who seemed a little hesitant, the emperor thought for a moment and reached out to give Xiao Moleng a piece of food with his chopsticks: "Eat more."
Xiao Morong was stunned for a moment, feeling surprised and happy: "More Grandpa Emperor."
The eldest princes who had been paying attention to this side were jealous and regretted more and more that they did not bring their legitimate son with them this time. Their father had finally shown some grandfatherly love, but it all went to the fourth son's son.
…
After lunch, the emperor had to return to the palace to handle government affairs. Before leaving, he felt reluctant to leave the little girl Daomang and asked her with a smile, "Do you want to live in the palace with Grandpa?"
Daomang tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Are both my brothers going?"
Taking care of two more children was no problem at all for the emperor, and he nodded immediately: "Let's go."
Daomang asked again: "What about my parents and grandfather?"
This is not allowed. Foreign officials are not allowed to stay overnight in the palace.
The emperor shook his head: "They cannot live in the palace."
Dao Mango refused: "Then I won't go either. Before I came back, my grandfather told me to spend more time with him. I want to stay at home with him."
Upon hearing this, Prince Ping immediately smiled brightly.
The emperor glanced at him and asked Dao Mang in a gentle tone, "Didn't the old ancestor ask you to accompany the emperor grandfather?"
Daomang thought for a moment and said, "It seems so."
The emperor smiled and said, "That's all right. Come live in the palace with Grandpa Huang."
Hearing this, Prince Ping became anxious. He hadn't even had a few days to enjoy the company of his grandchildren. Why did his brother come and snatch his grandchildren? He didn't have any.
Prince Ping was about to say something when he was stopped by the emperor's gaze.
Having successfully silenced Prince Ping, the Emperor withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, smiled at Dao Mang, and waited for her response.
Dao Mang looked at his grandfather's aggrieved expression, thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Huang, my brothers and I will accompany him first, and then we'll go and accompany you in a few days, okay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Prince Ping grinned again. It turned out that his granddaughter still sided with her grandfather.
Although the emperor wanted to see Daomang more often, he couldn't ignore Prince Ping's feelings. He smiled and patted Daomang's head: "Okay, then in a few days, the emperor will let your father take you to the palace."
…
After seeing off the Emperor and the eldest prince, Prince Ping immediately picked up Daomang and spun her around a few times: "You are really a good granddaughter of your grandfather." Noticing the look Daomiao gave him, he immediately added, "You are also a good grandson of your grandfather."
After receiving the praise he wanted, Dao Miao looked away with a smile.
When Daohua heard that the emperor wanted to let the three little ones enter the palace, she felt a little worried. She looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "The palace is different from other places. Not to mention the twins, even Daozi is only 8 years old. Now is the time when the situation is turbulent. I really don't feel safe letting them stay in the palace for a while."
Xiao Yeyang comforted him, "I know you're worried. Don't worry. The children were called into the palace by the Emperor's uncle. Even if someone has ulterior motives, they wouldn't dare to do anything excessive."
Thinking of the emperor's love for his daughter, Daohua sighed, "It's true that every advantage has its disadvantages!"
