Chapter 1244: Chapter 1056, Return to the Capital (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

Daohua smiled after hearing and said, "Father has learned his lesson. Initially, it was because he favored Princess Consort Wang Manman and Xiao Yechi too much that mother and son harbored ambitions of usurping, causing unrest in our family. Naturally, Father doesn’t want to repeat the same mistakes."

Wang Manman nodded and smiled, "Indeed, it’s just as Miss said."

Daohua: "Has anything special happened in Beijing lately?"

After some thought, Wang Manman lowered her voice and whispered into Daohua’s ear, "Brother Xiaoliu recently heard some rumors that the Emperor will announce the designation of the Crown Prince on his 60th birthday."

Daohua’s expression shifted slightly, then she shook her head, "We should act as if we didn’t hear this news. No need to spread it further."

Wang Manman immediately agreed.

Daohua thought for a moment and then said, "Tomorrow, go submit a visitation card to the Duke Residence, mentioning that Xiao Yeyang and I wish to visit Mother. Ask when she would be available?"

Wang Manman: "This servant has noted it down."

After her hair was dried, Daohua entered the inner chamber, saw Xiao Yeyang sitting at the desk looking through letters, and went over to speak to him about the Crown Prince successor rumor.

Xiao Yeyang thought for a while and said, "This matter has nothing to do with our family, so consider it unknown."

Daohua nodded, "That’s what I thought too." Regardless of whether the Emperor appoints a Crown Prince or whom he appoints, it won’t have much impact on the Prince Residence.

Of course, it mustn’t be the Crown Prince.

Daohua: "Go to bed, you should rest. You have to visit the Imperial Uncle tomorrow."

Xiao Yeyang smiled at Daohua, "Don’t you know my body well? I won’t get tired." After getting a glare from Daohua, he chuckled and went back to reading his letters.

"We returned to Beijing, so we need to understand more about what’s happening here to avoid being tricked."

That evening, everyone in the Prince Residence had a meal together.

After dinner, Daozi voluntarily suggested that he and the twins move into the Prince’s courtyard.

Daohua looked at the twins, and seeing that they had no objections, she let it be.

The Prince was taken by surprise with this sudden pleasantness and immediately ordered the servants to prepare rooms for the three children.

The twins saw that their grandfather was as delighted as their brother had said, their faces displaying a look of sympathy.

Their brother had told them, being far away in Xiliang, their grandfather had no one here for company. While they were in Beijing, they wanted to accompany him more so the grandfather wouldn’t feel lonely.

Now, just their sleeping in their grandfather’s yard brought him such happiness; indeed, the grandfather must feel very lonely normally.

The Prince immediately made arrangements to clear out the Nuan Pavilion of his living quarters.

With the change in accommodation, the three young ones adapted well and, after messing around for a while, they lay sprawled out on the bed and fell asleep.

The Prince stood by the bedside, watching the three sleeping children, and his smile never left his face: "These three children are indeed well-behaved, not troublesome at all."

Huai En’s mouth twitched. Well-behaved? Perhaps the Prince had forgotten about those precious flowers and plants wrecked today in the Hundred Flowers Garden.

They were literally pulled out root by root!

Probably only a loving grandfather could speak such contrary words to reality.

After resting for a night, early next morning, Xiao Yeyang dressed up neatly and went to the Imperial Palace.

...

Imperial Palace.

The Emperor looked at the letter written by Gu Jian delivered by Xiao Yeyang, feeling a bit dismayed. Even though he was the emperor, even though he had many sons and grandsons, the family member he truly wanted to be close to was still his uncle.

"How is Uncle’s health lately?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Uncle is still quite robust, especially since Mo Yan and Ke Yan were born, Uncle’s spirits have been better."

The Emperor nodded, he understood this; Mo Yan was adopted by Gu Family, and now that the Gu Family had their continuity, Uncle naturally cherished his health more.

"Find some time to bring Mo Xi and Mo Yan to the palace for me to see."

Xiao Yeyang, upon hearing the Emperor did not mention his daughter, immediately realized the Emperor might have misunderstood something. Uncle’s high spirits were not only due to Daomiao; a large part of it was because his daughter resembled his wife, giving Uncle something to live for.

However, he did not clarify.

He was not keen on having his precious daughter visit the Imperial Palace anyway.

Later, Xiao Yeyang began discussing developments in Xiliang with the Emperor, reporting in even greater detail than what the Jinling Guard had submitted. The Emperor listened attentively, and without realizing it, it was already noon, and Xiao Yeyang was then invited to stay for lunch.

As the rumor went, the Emperor sought to appoint the Crown Prince during his 60th birthday celebration. Regardless of who spread this rumor, most court officials believed it.

This time, every move of the Emperor led others to speculate.

Being invited to dine with the Emperor, not to mention anything else, assuredly indicated that he was highly favored by the Emperor.

This being the case, when Xiao Yeyang left the palace, it was unsurprising that he encountered several princes, including the Crown Prince, socializing together, and by the time he returned to the Prince Residence, it was already nightfall.
