Chapter 383 "No need."
Xiao Yining had never expected that Wu Anhou, who seemed to despise Wu Haoran in public, actually had high hopes for him and loved him deeply.
At this time, the little girl noticed that her uncle's eyes were on her, and she couldn't help but look up and look into his eyes.
The emperor's eyes were deep, and he asked, "Qingjie, what do you think of the third son of Marquis Wu'an?"
Xiao Yining: Huh...is this something she can say?
The kid tilted his head, thought hard for a while, and answered truthfully: "Uncle, I think Mr. Wu San is very good at quarreling."
"Oh? Why doesn't Qingjie call him godfather anymore?" Sheng Jingchen glanced at her with a smile.
Xiao Yining: ...
The little girl smiled shyly, twisting her body uncomfortably, and replied, "Mr. Wu San asked Sister Qing to call secretly."
Having said that, Xiao Yining looked at the emperor again, only to see his bottomless pupils turned slightly cold. She was suddenly shocked and continued hurriedly, "Just like what mother said before, I should secretly call my uncle grandpa. Sister Qing doesn't understand, but she will obey."
Hearing this, the emperor smiled gently and asked, "Why did Mr. Wu San let Sister Qing shout secretly? Does Sister Qing know?"
Little Yining thought for a moment and whispered back, "Uncle, I heard from my sisters that Master Wu San is afraid that he will be beaten if Marquis Wu'an finds out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Dafu on the side whispered: "Your Majesty, it seems that Mr. Wu San is not deliberately seeking personal gain, he just simply likes the young lady."
Sheng Jingchen's eyes fell on his hands.
After the kid finished speaking, he started playing with his big palm as if it were something rare.
He pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that I missed it. The one who looks most like Marquis Wu'an is not the second son but the third son. They are both dull."
"How could Your Majesty miss this? Wu Shaoming is as brave as Marquis Wu'an was when he was young." Pei Dafu said hurriedly.
At this moment, the emperor seemed to be lost in some distant memories, and sighed softly, "After all, he is no match for the eldest son. Back then, the eldest son of Marquis Wu'an was famous in Yanjing, and he and Anping were a perfect match, but they ended up in such a situation."
Hearing this, the little girl pricked up her ears, expecting to hear what was to come. Unexpectedly, the emperor only sighed, then looked at the little girl warmly and said, "Qingjie, would you like to go to the temporary palace with your uncle and study with Ah Zhu beside him?"
When little Yining heard the first half of the sentence, she showed an ecstatic smile, but when she heard the second half, she was struck by lightning. She was caught off guard and met the fierce eyes of the naughty kid. She felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on her and she immediately lost her spirit.
She frowned tightly, pinched her little finger, and said with embarrassment: "Qingjie wants to accompany grandpa uncle, but she can't bear to leave mother and grandmother, and also can't bear to leave cousin and friends."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor who was holding her began to feel his chest vibrate slightly, followed by his hearty laughter. "Pei Dafu, look at what I said. Sister Qing doesn't want to go to the palace with me, and you still don't believe it."
"The young lady is a true character. I am narrow-minded. I am willing to admit defeat." Pei Dafu responded.
Xiao Yining: So you two are betting with me!
The little kid was speechless, but he had to put on a shy smile on his face.
Then, Sheng Jingchen stretched out his hand to scratch the little kid's nose and pretended to sigh, "What should we do? Princess Jiahe will take her family to the temporary palace. Sister Qing will have to stay in Yanjing alone, with no one to take care of her."
Pei Dafu on the side had already started teasing, "I didn't expect that the young lady could handle things on her own at such a young age. Your Majesty should be relieved."
Xiao Yining: ...
Xiao Yining: …………
The little kid finally came to his senses and widened his eyes in disbelief, "Uncle, are my mother and cousin going too?"
Sheng Jingchen nodded without denying.
Xiao Yining: She really has to go... Why didn't her mother say a word when she returned home yesterday?
The little kid was instantly so excited that he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. He immediately threw his friends out of his mind, stretched out his hands and hugged the emperor's neck tightly. He also threw his father's previous warning to the sky, kissed the emperor on the face, and was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears: "Uncle, you are so good to Qingjie, Qingjie loves you!"
Sheng Jingchen: ...
Pei Dafu was stunned when he saw this scene.
At this time, Sheng Hongtong, who was sitting next to the dragon table, jumped up and asked loudly, "How can you kiss my father? Even my mother has never kissed him."
When Xiao Yining heard this, she suddenly reacted, a blush appeared on her face, and she immediately let go of her hand and looked at the emperor cautiously.
Sheng Jingchen glanced at Er'er unhappily and scolded him, "What a disgrace to be making such a fuss."
Sheng Hongtong pouted, threw away the pen in his hand, and stared at Xiao Yining with an unconvinced look on his face.
Little Yining was a little at a loss when Sheng Hongtong stared at her, and because of her own arrogance just now, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Sheng Jingchen touched his cheek uncomfortably and said in a serious tone, "Qing Jie'er, don't do this again in the future."
The little boy nodded quickly.
Pei Dafu looked at this scene, shook his head silently, walked forward and whispered in the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a bath and change clothes?"
After hearing this, Sheng Jingchen's expression instantly became complicated, but only for a moment before returning to normal.
He glanced at the well-behaved little kid, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he curled his lips and said, "No need."
Then, he gently put the baby back on the ground and looked at the baby kindly, "It's getting late, Qingjie, go back and pack your bags first. Tomorrow, your uncle will pick you up to go to the palace together."
The little boy was led away by Xiao Shunzi, and when he left, he looked back at the emperor with reluctance.
After Xiao Yining's figure completely disappeared...
A strange look finally appeared in the emperor's eyes, as if he had entered into his own thoughts.
At this time, Pei Dafu stepped forward again and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you want to turn over the cards tonight?"
Disgust flashed across Sheng Jingchen's face, and he said coldly, "No need."
Pei Dafu sighed slightly in his heart, retreated back to where he was, and said no more.
Then, the emperor glanced at his second son Sheng Hongtong and said coldly: "Go back and accompany your mother. If Ah Zhu wants your mother to regain her position, wait and see how you behave in the palace."
Sheng Hongtong pursed his lips and stood up, saying aggrievedly, "It's Father."
