Chapter 111 Cining Palace Encounter
Xiao Ye Lei carved jade like a porcelain doll. When he saw his parents saluting a kind-hearted old lady in the middle of the room, his eyes rolled and he knew that the old lady was the queen mother mentioned by his mother.
Like a little adult, he squatted on the ground and kowtowed a head. Only then did he childishly shout loudly, "Grandma Tai, Xiao Ye Lei kowtowed to you!"
When a child enters Cining Palace, he is as stiff as a piece of wood. He is more respectful than energetic. Unlike Xiao Ye Lei, he is clever all over his body. His opening remarks are even more unrestrained and refreshing.
The Queen Mother's attention was suddenly attracted by Xiao Ye Lei. "Your name is Xiao Ye Lei. Get up and let the mourning family have a closer look."
Xiao Yelei didn't recognize life either, and walked up to her gracefully. "Grandma is good!"
"Hey, good, good!" The Queen Mother has laughed from ear to ear. "This child's eyebrow eye is old thirteen, and it is cute to look at."
Shangguan Yue said, "Children are naughty, as long as they don't make the Queen Mother angry."
The Queen Mother immediately guarded her fault. "The child is smart, so don't arrest him. There are many young people who know the rules, but such lively and lovely children are rare."
Feng Xuanrui was somewhat helpless. "This child has been spoiled by his father, and his grandmother is used to it again. That's great."
The Queen Mother was somewhat unhappy. "The emperor and Ye Er have already met. Why doesn't the mourning family know?"
"At that time, time was too tight, grandchildren with Ye son into the palace into the father, is to let the father grant grandchildren with children to find Yue son. At that time, Ye Er climbed onto his father and pulled his beard, which startled his grandchildren."
The emperor has always been dignified. It is hard for anyone to imagine what kind of scene it would be like for Xiao Ye Lei to pull his beard. The Queen Mother was even more breathless with laughter. "Your father has always been unsmiling and has no dignity in front of his grandchildren."
Looking at a pair of handsome men and women in front of her, she couldn't help feeling, "Yue Er has a world-renowned appearance and peerless talent. The mourning family also mentioned to Pingyang that I don't know which family is blessed to get a daughter-in-law like Yue Er. How do you know that the old thirteen is silent and even has a son with you?"
Shangguan Yue suddenly blushed. "The Queen Mother and Ye Er came to this world, which was actually an accident."
Feng Xuanrui was afraid of Shangguan Yue's embarrassment. He quickly said, "The marriage between the emperor's grandmother, grandson and Yue's son is even doomed in previous lives. There are twists and turns. When the emperor's grandmother is interested one day, the grandson will tell you again."
The Queen Mother was deeply knowledgeable about the world. In front of Ye Er, of course, she stopped delving into it and said happily, "OK, I'm waiting for my family."
She turned and took Shangguan Yue. "Yue Er, Lao 13 is the first beautiful man in the grandson of the Ai family. It is not a disgrace for you to marry him."
Shangguan yue shyly bowed his head, "the queen mother..."
The Queen Mother was in good spirits today. She picked up the cakes on the table and fed them to Xiao Ye Lei. "Ye Er, is it delicious? Tell Grandma Tai, how old are you and are you studying?"
"Grandma's cakes are of course delicious." Xiao Ye Lei's eyes flickered and he held out four little fingers. "Ye Er is four years old, and he will be five years old after the year. Mr. Wang taught me to study, but I still like my mother to teach me. Unfortunately, my mother is always busy."
The queen mother teased him, "Sir, didn't you teach well?"
Xiao Ye Lei wanted to think, "It's not bad, it's boring, it's not as interesting as what Niang said."
He attached it to the Queen Mother's ear and whispered, "Ancestor, do you like listening to stories? Ye Er can tell stories, even Mr. Wang likes listening."
"Well, you can tell stories?" The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Ye Lei in surprise. "Tell the sad family what stories you will tell."
Xiao Ye Lei's big eyes turned straight. "There are many stories about Ye Er Hui, including Snow White and the seven dwarfs, as well as frog prince, ugly duckling, Thumbelina... Grandma Tai is willing to listen, Ye Er will tell you."
"Yes, of course I am." The Queen Mother has never even heard of these stories. She is more curious about what a four-year-old child will tell.
Shangguan Yue hurriedly dragged him. "Queen Mother, Ye Er is a crazy child. Don't pay attention to him."
"The mourning family is willing to chat with Ye Er. You are not allowed to stop." She told the maid-in-waiting, "Go to the warehouse and find some decent tributes just sent by Siam, and give my lovely Ye son a meeting gift."
The maid-in-waiting went out, and she complained about Feng Xuanrui again. "If you want to bring your children to see the mourning family, you don't know if you will say it in advance. There are many good things in the mourning family, but it will take some time to turn them out."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was happy, Feng Xuanrui took the opportunity to look down and said, "The grandmother of the emperor hides good objects, and she is reluctant to give them to her son or grandson. It was originally reserved for her great grandson."
Everyone smiled, the queen mother threatened to seal Xuan Rui, "why, still eat your son's vinegar, don't say mourn family eccentricity, when you get married, mourn but naturally have a gift for you. Yue Er is the grandson's wife of the mourning family. The mourning family has already prepared the gift."
Feng Xuanrui repeatedly pestered the Queen Mother, "So, grandchildren are stained with the light of daughter-in-law. The grandmother might as well reveal what kind of gift to let the grandchildren open their eyes."
The Queen Mother suddenly discovered that this old thirteen, who had not been outstanding before, was also very cute.
"I am already the king of Jin, and I am still so impatient. It is really worthless."
She suddenly remembered one thing, "It has been some days since the emperor named Yue Er Princess of Jin, but why hasn't the wedding date been decided yet? The sad family has to ask about this."
Feng Xuanrui pretended to be indifferent. "Grandmother, father's affairs are heavy, and this matter is not urgent."
"Isn't it urgent?" The Queen Mother looked at him with a smile. "Your family of three suddenly came to Cining Palace to see the mourning family. I'm afraid it's the drunkard's intention. After a long walk around, isn't it just to let the mourning family urge your father for you?"
Feng Xuanrui was exposed on the spot, and his face suddenly fell asleep. "The grandmother's eyes are like a torch, and the grandson's narrow-mindedness can't hide from the grandmother's eyes."
"A good child has learned to kiss up to others."
The Queen Mother turned and told the maid-in-waiting, "Go and see where the emperor is and say that the mourning family has something to ask him."
As soon as the maid-in-waiting left, someone came to report, "The Queen Mother, the Prince and Lord Shangguan are greeting."
The Queen Mother smiled. "Today seems to be a good day. Those who should or should not come have come. Please invite them in."
As soon as Shangguan Yu came in, he found the King of Jin's family of three. After seeing the ceremony to the Queen Mother, he came forward and hugged Xiao Ye Lei.
"Ye Er, do you miss Grandpa?"
Xiao Ye Lei had no feelings with Guan Yu. He met several times in a hurry. The child's mind soon forgot. The little guy was clever and didn't want to lie or embarrass people, but asked Shangguan Yu.
"Is Grandpa a family with Ye Er and Niang?"
Shangguan Yu did not guard against Ye Er asking this question. He gave a dry cough in embarrassment. "Grandpa is your mother's father, of course it is a family."
"Just like my father, do you have to wait until Ye Er grows up to see Ye Er?"
Shangguan Yue stepped forward and pulled away his son. "Ye Er, no rules are allowed."
Shangguan Yu was very embarrassed in front of her daughter. "Yue, do you also come to see the Queen Mother?"
