Chapter 105: King Rong's Godson
There were a lot of things going on in the morning on this day.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Emperor Qing summoned several important officials in the imperial study.
By the time he and King Rong had lunch, the hour had passed.
Jimei had been waiting outside the royal study for nearly half an hour, and finally found an opportunity to hand over Xiao Bi's letter to Eunuch Xiaonian.
Young father-in-law had a bad feeling in his heart.
The princess has always been able to come and go freely in the palace. When did she need to rely on letters to communicate with His Majesty?
Jimei urged: "Don't worry so much, just give the letter to His Majesty."
"Sister, please wait here for a moment. Maybe your Majesty will have something to say to the Queen."
Father-in-law Xiaonian took the letter and walked into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent from Qifeng Palace." He held the letter in both hands and handed it to Emperor Tianqing.
Hearing that this letter was sent by Empress Xiao, King Rong smiled very knowingly and said: "I am a little sleepy, so I will take my leave first."
Emperor Tianqing was very familiar with Xiao Bi's name. He opened the letter and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao Huang guessed wrong this time. This letter was written by Xiao Jiu."
Xiaojiu writes to His Majesty?
Prince Rong, like Eunuch Xiaonian, also had a bad premonition in his heart.
The brat just fooled him yesterday and shamelessly moved into the Duke's Mansion. Today Xiaojiu delivered a letter to His Majesty. How can such a coincidence happen in the world?
Most likely it was the brat who pissed Xiaojiu off, and because he didn't want to be cruel to him for his own sake, he tricked him out of his trap!
Before he could ask, Emperor Tianqing had already thrown the letter in his hand on the ground.
"What a little bastard! I've been teaching her for so many years, but I haven't learned much from her, but she actually learned how to do it!"
King Rong really couldn't laugh anymore.
Is His Majesty the Emperor scolding Xiao Xiaojiu, or is he scolding his own brat?
He forced himself to persuade: "Your Majesty, Xiaojiu is still a child after all..."
Emperor Tianqing stroked his forehead and said, "Young uncle, don't try to persuade me, I have spoiled this child.
If she wants to go north with Mr. Huan, she can just say no to me. Will I still stop her from going?
How many times have you made your own decisions and acted recklessly?"
King Rong's ears felt hot.
Your Majesty scolded her for a long time, but still didn't mention Yuan'er.
Did Xiao Jiu not write it at all in his letter, or was it because His Majesty was trying to save face for himself?
No matter what the reason is, His Majesty may not mention it, but he must not hide it.
"Your Majesty, calm down." King Rong bowed and saluted: "Although the princess is at fault in this matter, the root cause lies with Wei Chen's unfulfilled son."
Emperor Tianqing raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this, little uncle?"
Prince Rong said: "Wei Yuan left a note for Wei Chen yesterday morning, saying that there was no one in the palace to play with him and he wanted to go to the Duke's mansion to disturb him for a few days.
Wei Chen thought that it was rare for him to come to the capital and it was understandable that he wanted to make a few friends of the same age, so he did not stop him.
I didn’t expect that brat to be so capable of causing trouble, so within a day of moving in, Xiao Jiu was so angry that he ran away.”
Emperor Tianqing raised his eyebrows: "Is this happening? Xiaojiu didn't mention anything in his letter. I thought..."
King Rong still wanted to distinguish whether his words were true or false, and said hurriedly: "It is the fault of the father if the son does not teach. Now I will personally go to the Duke's Mansion and bring the brat back and teach him a lesson."
Emperor Tianqing said: "It is true that Brother Yuan cannot be allowed to mess around in the Duke's Mansion. But it is not a big mistake. The little emperor uncle can just say a few words to him. Don't get angry and hurt your body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave." King Rong saluted again and hurriedly walked out.
"Your Majesty..." Young Eunuch gathered the scattered letters on the floor and gently placed them on the desk.
Emperor Tianqing glanced at the letter, and the word "brother-in-law" stood out.
"Xiao Nian, tell me, was Xiao Jiu really forced to leave by Wei Yuan?"
Eunuch Xiaonian hesitated and said: "This... I am stupid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to speak well..."
"You little naughty boy!" Emperor Tianqing scolded with a smile: "If you are stupid, will I leave you here to make a living?"
Eunuch Xiaonian chuckled and said: "The princess was taught by your majesty personally, how could she argue with others over such trivial matters.
The servant felt that her original intention was to take care of His Majesty's worries, so she followed Mr. Huan to the north.
Please relax, with the abilities of the two of them, let alone Liang Ruoru, even the leader of the Liuyun Kingdom can be easily captured."
Emperor Tianqing picked up a booklet on the desk and threw it over: "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes! I will punish you by going to Qifeng Palace in person, and tell me that I will have dinner later."
Young father-in-law covered his head and ran out in an exaggerated manner.

King Rong galloped all the way, and soon arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion.
Given his status, if he were to formally visit, the central gate of the Duke's mansion would have to be opened, and all the men would be welcomed out of the mansion in person.
But his purpose today was to capture his son, so he didn't care about the many etiquette.
Neither Xiao Siqian nor Xiao Xuan was in the mansion. The second master, Xiao Sihou, got the news and hurried over to Fuze Hall.
After the ceremony, Prince Rong explained his intention, and the second master personally accompanied him to the guest house.
In addition to occasionally playing tricks, Wei Yuan is also a very hard-working young man.
After lunch, he took a short rest for half an hour, then sat at the desk and continued reading.
King Rong walked into the guest house and saw his son studying seriously under the window from a distance.
The second master took the opportunity to advise: "My lord, please don't be angry. There is no child who doesn't make mistakes. If the prince works hard like this, he will definitely accomplish something in the future."
King Rong's anger dissipated by more than half, and he said with a smile: "By Mr. Xiao's good words, as long as he can behave himself, I will be satisfied."
The second master smiled, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please."
Prince Rong nodded and walked towards the study.
When Wei Yuan noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, Prince Rong was already standing behind him.
"Father..." He put down the book in his hand and stood up quickly.
Although the second master was very discerning and did not follow him, it was not easy for Prince Rong to teach his son a lesson in someone else's house.
He reprimanded in a low voice: "You brat, did you leave all my father's words in the palace yesterday?"
Wei Yuan blinked, but still didn't understand why his father appeared here.
Although it was his own decision to move into the Duke's mansion, he left a note for his father.
If the father did not agree with his actions, he must have come to look for him yesterday. How could he wait until now...
King Rong was really angry and funny when he saw his son looking silly.
He twisted Wei Yuan's arm: "Let's go back to the palace."
Wei Yuan struggled hard: "I won't go back, Xiaojiu finally agreed to have dinner with me tonight!"
King Rong knew his son's temper very well.
If the news of Xiaojiu's departure from Beijing was told to him now, he would definitely start a fight regardless, and there would be no room for his old face.
