Chapter 1066, Breakfast
“Hey~”
In the Pingxitang dining room, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were having dinner with Prince Ping.
Looking at Prince Ping who was sighing for who knows how many times, the couple looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Hey, I wonder if Inako and the twins are used to staying in the palace?"
Prince Ping ate the rice in his bowl with some boredom, his face full of longing and worry for his grandchildren.
Daohua smiled and comforted him, "Father, don't worry. Daozi and the other two have adapted very well. Look, they got used to it right away after returning to the palace, didn't they?"
Prince Ping expressed disapproval. "How can they be the same? The prince's mansion is their home, but the imperial palace is not." He sighed and said, "I wonder if the food in the palace will suit their taste?"
At this point, the worry on his face became even more pronounced.
"They're in the palace, so they won't be hungry, right? Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have called the steward of the imperial kitchen over to give him some instructions before leaving the palace today."
Seeing Prince Ping's anxious face, as if he was sure that the third child was starving, Daohua's mouth twitched and he explained with a wry smile, "Father, this kind of problem shouldn't happen."
"You forgot that if they encounter something they don't like, the three little ones will directly bring it up. They won't let themselves be wronged or starve."
Upon hearing this, Prince Ping's expression brightened slightly. He smiled and said, "Indeed, my three good grandchildren are all quite brave in expressing their own ideas." He then looked at Daohua with satisfaction, "They are like you in this respect."
Daohua's face froze. He dared to speak like her. Was this a compliment to her?
Xiao Yeyang spoke up: "Daozi will take good care of his younger brothers and sisters. Don't worry here. The food is almost cold."
Hearing the hint of concern and comfort in Xiao Yeyang's tone, Prince Ping curled the corners of his mouth and began to eat seriously. However, after taking a few bites, he couldn't help but start complaining when he thought of the liveliness at the dinner table when his grandchildren were there.
"My royal brother is such a jerk! He has so many grandchildren of his own, yet he insists on snatching my three beloved grandchildren away. He just takes advantage of me and bullies me."
Seeing Prince Ping looking like a bullied and aggrieved person, Daohua wanted to laugh and quickly started to eat some rice to hide her smile.
Xiao Yeyang also lowered his head and ate without saying a word.
Seeing his son and daughter-in-law eating their meal without being affected, Prince Ping was unhappy: "Why aren't you worried at all? You still have the mood to eat here."
Rice flower: “.”
Xiao Yeyang: “.”
Daohua silently put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked with a smile, "Father, what should we be worried about?"
Prince Ping: "I'm worried that my brother will keep the rice and won't let them go. What if my brother wants to keep the three children in the palace forever?"
Xiao Yeyang said succinctly: "No."
Daohua nodded in agreement: "Yes, father, the emperor's uncle is very busy and has no time to play with the children all the time."
She really wasn't worried about this at all. It was okay for Daozi, but she knew very well how capable the twins would be of causing trouble if they were not restrained.
The emperor is too busy dealing with government affairs every day to have the energy to deal with twins.
Prince Ping was not convinced and said worriedly, "No, I have to go to the palace tomorrow to remind my brother to let the grandchildren return home as soon as possible."
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other quickly, knowing that they couldn't persuade him, so they didn't say anything more.
The imperial palace.
The rear hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The twins were already lying obediently on the bed with their dolls and Daozi. Just when the emperor thought the children were not difficult to take care of, Daomang spoke.
"Grandpa Huang, it's time for you to tell us a bedtime story."
The emperor was stunned for a moment: "Tell a story?"
This really stumped the emperor. He was not afraid of political affairs, but he had never told stories to children before.
Finally, the emperor chose an easy-to-understand folk story to tell the children.
The emperor always spoke with great majesty. Even when facing the children, he deliberately slowed down his tone, but his words were still very serious, as if he was preaching, which made the children feel drowsy.
Daozi was originally still a little excited, but at this moment, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"It doesn't sound good at all."
The rice awn muttered something, then turned over to the side and slept face to face with the rice seedlings.
The despised emperor stood awkwardly by the bed. After making sure all three children were asleep, he left and returned to his bedroom. On the way, he sighed, "Raising children still requires some knowledge."
The next day, after the emperor had attended the morning court, he took several ministers back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to discuss state affairs. As soon as he stepped into the palace, he saw the twins sitting in the palace and eating breakfast leisurely.
Dao Mang smiled brightly: "Grandpa Emperor, you're back!"
Dao Miao held food in her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and waved her little hands: "Grandpa Emperor, have you eaten yet? We didn't eat together, but it tasted pretty good."
emperor:"."
Ministers: “.”
The government hall has become a dining room?
The emperor walked forward with a smile and asked, "Why are you here?"
Dao Mang smiled sweetly: "We are waiting for Grandpa Huang. We haven't seen Grandpa Huang for a whole night. We all miss you so much."
"The eunuch said that the emperor would come here after he finished his work, so we came here to wait, hoping to see the emperor right away."
Rice seedlings nodded in agreement and handed a small bun to the emperor: "Grandpa Emperor, eat it. If you are hungry, we will feel bad."
The twins' straightforward and innocent words instantly made the emperor laugh, and his somewhat depressed mood caused by political affairs was instantly swept away.
At this moment, he finally understood why Xiaojiu was reluctant to send the child to the palace. With these two little cuties accompanying him, he would feel much better every day.
The ministers who followed also looked at the twins born by Weiyuan Wang with curiosity.
I have to say, she is really well-maintained, with a round and smooth face, a delicate and delicate complexion, and those innocent and ignorant black eyes, which makes people feel happy at first sight.
This is still secondary. They also heard what the twins said. These old foxes in the court had to admit in their hearts that Princess Weiyuan could teach children.
Not to mention the emperor, even they would be willing to spoil their grandchildren if they had such cute and sweet-talking grandchildren.
As the backbone of the family, they have heavy pressure on their shoulders and face tedious official duties and complicated interpersonal relationships every day. If there is someone who can make them relax, they will also want to get close to him.
At this moment, the ministers present finally understood why the emperor wanted to call Prince Weiyuan's child into the palace to stay for a while.
Dao Mang always remembered his brother's instructions not to cause trouble. Seeing the ministers waiting nearby, he immediately said sensibly, "Grandpa Emperor, are you busy with something? If so, go ahead and do it. Don't worry about us. My brother and I will eat well and make sure we don't go hungry."
The emperor smiled and rubbed Daomang's little head: "Don't worry, Grandpa will eat with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Eunuch An immediately arranged for eunuchs to deliver food. Several ministers also took advantage of this opportunity and stayed in the Zheng Palace to have breakfast with the emperor.
