The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 59 Back to Mother's Home

Wenfeng and Fuyue's eyes flashed with surprise, and then sighed: "Your Highness and Shizi have such a good relationship!"

Jun Rong pursed her lips, thinking of Xiao Yu, with a bit of admiration in her eyes: "It was he who treated me well, but I have nothing to repay him."

A child who has lived an unhappy life since childhood is always more sensitive than ordinary people. He can still tell who is really good to him and who is hypocritical.

At first he doubted Xiao Yu's motives, but Xiao Yu's kindness to him was not fake, that was enough.

……

The carriage rumbled through the two long streets, and finally stopped in the east of the city. On that wide main road, Duke Dingguo's Mansion stood in the center, very lavish and conspicuous.

The entire house is much higher than the ones next to it, with towering walls, neat blue bricks and black tiles, and around the front main entrance, above the vermilion gate, a plaque with gold letters on a blue background shimmers in the sunlight.

The carriage stopped, and the coachman jumped down and took out the small stool, and said to the inside of the carriage: "Your Majesty, Eldest Miss, Duke Ding's Mansion has arrived."

Xiao Yu looked at Zhen Xuetian. Zhen Xuetian was a little nervous since she approached Dingguo Mansion. She clenched her cuffs tightly with both hands, her eyes full of anticipation.

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, "Are you ready?"

Zhen Xuetian took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Yes."

"it is good."

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he glanced at her, Tsing Yi lifted the curtain of the carriage outside, Xiao Yu went down first, and reached out to pull Zhen Xuetian out after landing.

Zhen Xuetian looked at the Haokuo mansion in front of her, and her heart became more and more agitated. All kinds of emotions were intertwined, but she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.

The coachman stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Open the door, the prince has arrived—"

"Squeak—" With a sound, the heavy mahogany door was opened from the inside, and then a maidservant in a pink jacket saluted Xiao Yu and Zhen Xuetian, "The maidservant is clear, I have seen the prince, the Duke is here Waiting for the son in the front hall, please come with the servants."

Xiao Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhen Xuetian beside her. As expected, a look of embarrassment quickly flashed across her face, but the servants of Dingguo's mansion didn't know the eldest lady of Dingguo's mansion, and she didn't know if it was true or not. Know, or willfully ignore.

But soon Zhen Xuetian adjusted her mood and silently followed behind Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu withdrew his gaze and said to Qing Ran, "Lead the way."

Qingran walked ahead respectfully, Xiao Yu followed behind with Zhen Xuetian and Tsing Yi, walked around the screen wall, and walked through the atrium to the main hall, which is the place where Duke Dingguo receives guests.

Qingran went in directly, and bowed to Duke Ding who was sitting on the main seat: "Master, the prince has arrived."

Xiao Yu came in after her, and looked straight at the half-hundred old man sitting on the main seat.

Duke Dingguo had gray temples, skinny cheeks, slightly sunken inwards, and a pair of eagle eyes that were sharp and bright. Being stared at by these eyes, there was always a feeling of being naked and having nowhere to hide.

Xiao Yu looked back without dodging, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Duke Ding."

Duke Ding, who had been silently looking at her all this time, suddenly smiled, "Come on, sit down, Qingran, let's watch tea—"

"Yes."

Xiao Yu took a seat on the chair on the left, Qing Ran brought her a cup of hot tea: "Your Majesty, take it easy."

Then he was about to retreat, Xiao Yu also smiled: "Grandpa Guo doesn't recognize Xuetian? That's right, you haven't seen each other for more than ten years, it's normal not to recognize Xuetian, why don't you salute Grandpa Guo?"

Zhen Xuetian stood up, stood in the middle of the hall, knelt down and saluted with a trembling voice: "Xuetian pays homage to grandfather."

Duke Ding's smile didn't diminish, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "In a blink of an eye, Xuetian has grown up so much, she is slim, it seems that your aunt raised you very well, I am very relieved that you are raised under her knees .”

Zhen Xuetian's heart skipped a beat, and her body also froze. What did her grandfather mean by saying that she would not recognize her back?

She fell on the ground, with her forehead against the back of her hands, and she silently closed her eyes, with a bitter curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Get up, Qingran will bring Xuetian another cup of tea."

"Yes."

Qing Ran's curious eyes swept over Zhen Xuetian's body, and she quickly withdrew.

Zhen Xuetian stood up slowly, facing Ding Guogong's gaze, she was a little embarrassed, "My aunt is very kind to me, please remember my grandfather."

"Good boy, it was a helpless act to send you out back then. If you don't bear grudges against grandpa, grandpa will be very upset."

Zhen Xuetian's smile was a bit forced, and when she didn't know how to answer, Xiao Yu interjected: "How can you hold grudges? I also want to thank the Duke for sending Xuetian away, otherwise how would I have the opportunity to grow up with Xuetian?" ?The friendship of childhood sweethearts is the most rare."

As she spoke, she smiled and looked at Zhen Xuetian: "Come on, Xuetian, sit here."

Zhen Xuetian looked at Duke Ding as if she had been pardoned, and the latter nodded slightly: "Sit down and talk."

Zhen Xuetian walked up to Xiao Yu and sat down, just as Qingran brought out the tea and placed it by Zhen Xuetian's hand: "Miss, please—"

Zhen Xue nodded her head and exited without a sound.

There were only four people left in the main hall, Duke Ding finally got down to business, "I haven't seen Yu'er for many years, but she has a lot to do with me."

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and smiled: "It's not a matter of birth. Recently, there are many trivial matters. I have dealt too much with those adults who are full of honey and swords. I am used to politeness. I can't change it for a while. My grandfather forgives me."

When the word "grandfather" came out, Duke Ding's face was obviously better. His eyes flashed brightly, and he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, yes, those old foxes always play the same way in front of their faces and behind their backs. They will catch on and talk endlessly.”

Xiao Yu nodded: "Exactly."

Duke Ding turned his face to look at him, but didn't see why, he lowered his eyes and said to Zhen Xuetian: "Xuetian, it's rare for you to come back, go to the backyard to see your grandmother, she always misses you, And your sister, you two haven't seen each other for many years, so you should get closer."

Zhen Xuetian was startled, and then realized that Ding Guogong had something to say to Xiao Yu alone.

She looked at Xiao Yu inquiringly, and Xiao Yu blinked at her, "Go, I'll find you after I finish talking with my grandfather, and let Tsing Yi follow."

Tsing Yi came out: "Yes."

"Then I'll go first."

Zhen Xuetian took a look at the two of them and went out with Tsing Yi.

As soon as the person left, Ding Guogong turned his head and said directly, "Yu'er, there are no outsiders here, so tell your grandfather, what are your plans for the future?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Of course it is to support His Highness the Eighth Highness and assist him well."

Ding Guogong frowned: "How did I hear that His Highness the Eighth Highness cannot be supported? He is ignorant and cowardly. I am afraid that such a person will not be able to accomplish anything. Are you sure you want to assist him?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Grandpa, what's your opinion, why don't you just say it, you and I, grandpa and grandson, do you still want to hide it?"

Duke Ding and him looked at each other, and the air froze for no reason.

A temptation, a defense, both of them were watertight, and in the end Duke Ding looked away first, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay! Hahaha, grandfather is right, Yu'er is really not a thing in the pond."

Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word.

Although Duke Ding had heard about Xiao Yu's "Great Achievements" before, seeing is believing, he has always been dubious about those rumors, and today he invited Xiao Yu to see him, just to see if he is really that powerful.

He didn't let him down, this grandson is now more and more like his father, he can support the Regent's Palace at a young age, and he will surely become a great event in the future!
