Chapter 279
There was another moment of silence at the family dinner.

This time everyone looked towards Xie Zhaozhao.

Xie Zhaozhao pursed his lips, "Maybe he knew that father and mother were coming back, so he...His Royal Highness King Dingxi came to visit on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince. I will go to greet him."

"Go." Xie Wei waved his hand.

After Xie Zhaozhao stood up and left the table, Yu pulled Xie Jiajia and asked, "How have Zhao Zhaoer and His Highness been doing these past six months?"

"very good."

Xie Jiajia whispered: "Furthermore, judging from the attitudes of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at several banquets before and after the New Year, they are also very satisfied with my little sister."

Of course, Mrs. Yu knew that Xie Zhaozhao had been granted the title of Lord of Yuanyi County and had rescued the prince in Meishan.

But she and Xie Wei were far away in Pennsylvania at the time.

She didn't understand the matter clearly, so she had doubts in her heart. Now seeing Xie Jiajia's certainty, Yu felt a little relieved.

……

Xie Zhaozhao walked forward quickly after leaving the table, and within a few steps he met Yun Qi head-on.

The steward who led Yun Qi in bowed to Xie Zhaozhao and then retreated.

"Why did you come here all of a sudden, and you didn't ask anyone to come and breathe first?" Xie Zhaozhao saw Lin Zhen and Lin Ye behind Yun Qi holding a long box in their hands, and said with a low smile: "Did you bring a gift?"

"How can I come here empty-handed?"

Yun Qi walked to Xie Zhaozhao and said, "I'm done with my work now. I can't take care of ventilation. Why don't you welcome me?"

Before he finished speaking, he frowned, showing a sad expression.

Xie Zhaozhao chuckled: "You are pretending to be presentable... No, let's go."

The two of them soon arrived at the family banquet.

Xie Wei led the whole family to stand up and salute Yun Qi.

"Excuse me." Yun Qi quickly stepped forward to support Xie Wei, and said in a gentle and humble tone: "Thank you for your hard work for the Qin Dynasty. I can't bear this gift from you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xie Wei, others also stood up.

Everyone takes a seat together.

Yun Qi naturally sat next to Xie Wei, and Xie Changyuan's departure made room for him.

Yun Qi smiled and said, "I came in a hurry and only brought two small gifts for Mr. Xie."

Everyone at the table was keeping to themselves. Only Xie Jiajia asked with a smile: "Did His Highness bring the gift for himself or for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Jia Jia!"

Yu frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Don't lose etiquette."

No matter how generous Yun Qi was in the past, his identity was still there.

Yunqi was the first grandson of the royal family to be crowned king.

He is also the eldest son of the prince. As long as he can hold his own, he will surely reach the ninth position in the future.

Even a woman from the Yu family knew that she could not neglect Yun Qi at all.

Xie Jiajia didn't hold back, she just smiled and said: "His Royal Highness came alone without any ceremony. He just wanted to renew his relationship with his father in private. He shouldn't be talking about the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, right?"

Yun Qi nodded: "Not bad."

"This gift was not entrusted by my father, but I brought it for Mr. Xie and his wife. They are two pieces of leather that I got in the Western Region. I hope Mr. Xie won't dislike it."

Xie Wei said quickly: "I don't dare."

Mrs. Yu quickly glared at Xie Jiajia, followed Xie Wei and gave Yun Qi a gift in return, and then asked someone to take the gift.

Because Yun Qi arrived, Mrs. Yu ordered the kitchen to prepare several new dishes.

Everyone sat around the table.Yun Qi, Xie Wei and Xie Changan talked about the trip to Pennsylvania. The three of them talked freely.

Xie Zhaozhao sat between Xie Jiajia and Yu, eating quietly.

Mrs. Yu looked at Yun Qi for a while, and the wrinkles between her brows gradually relaxed.

After the family banquet, Xie Wei and Xie Changan saw Yun Qi off together.

Yun Qi bid farewell to Mr. Yu politely and glanced at Xie Zhaozhao quickly when he raised his eyes.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Yu said: "His Royal Highness King Dingxi has changed a lot. Looking at it today, the devil-like appearance he once had is gone. What happened to him in the past few years since he went to the Western Region?"

Before Xie Zhaozhao opened his mouth, Xie Jiajia said, "Of course I changed because of love."

"Why are you so talkative now?" Mrs. Yu frowned and glanced at Xie Jiajia, "Xiang Yang didn't come today, and he didn't know he sent someone to say something."

Xie Jiajia was silent for a moment and said in a vague voice: "Um... Yue Ya is tired. I'll take her back to sleep first."

When Mrs. Yu heard about Yue Ya, she didn't say much and quickly asked Xie Jiajia to take the child away.

"Little aunt, is His Highness Prince Dingxi your fiancé?"

Xie Huan's childish voice sounded, and both Yu and Xie Zhaozhao looked down and saw Xie Huan running over and grabbing Xie Zhaozhao's hand, "He was obviously talking to my grandfather, but he kept looking at my little aunt."

Xie Zhaozhao sneered, "You are wrong."

"Not at all!"

Xie Huan was chattering all night long at first. Later, when Yun Qi arrived, he became quiet and observed for a long time.

He really is as big as a kid.

"All right."

Yu rubbed her grandson's little head and said, "Children, don't think about whether these are available or not. Are you tired? Do you want to sleep in your own yard tonight, or sleep with your grandparents?"

Xie Huan said: "I want to sleep with Aunt Wanning."

Yu frowned.

Xie Huan flattened his lips and changed his words: "Then I'd better sleep with my grandparents."

"Yes." Yu's expression softened slightly, and she bent over to pick up Xie Huan.

"I'll do it." Xie Zhaozhao took Xie Huan into his arms one step ahead of her, "I'll take mother and Huan'er to Huichunhelou."

"Alright..."

Along the way, the mother and daughter chatted a little bit about themselves.

Xie Huan played with Xie Zhaozhao's hair and the hairpin in his hair, very lively and active. When he walked to Chunhe Building, he suddenly thought of something, "Uncle Wu never came back after visiting that young lady. Uncle Wu also didn't come back." Are you getting married?"

The words of Xie Zhaozhao and Yu's mother and daughter came unexpectedly.

Mrs. Yu took a deep breath and signaled the nanny beside her to take Xie Huan from Xie Zhaozhao's arms, "Zhao Zhao'er, you should go back and rest early. Don't be tired."

"Yes."

Xie Zhaozhao left.

Mrs. Yu took the child in, coaxed Xie Huan to play for a while, and told some wonderful stories about her time fighting with Xie Wei, which finally put Xie Huan to sleep.

Xie Wei came over, took a look, and whispered: "This little kid and Chang Yu are really printed from the same mold."

"Yes." Mrs. Yu gently stroked Xie Huan's eyebrows, "Especially here, they are exactly the same, except that she was born prematurely. Not only did she lose her mother, but she is also not in good health. Hey..."

Xie Wei also sighed, patted Yu's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think about it. Now let's take him back to Jingzhong and keep him by his side. Take good care of him. He will grow up well in the future."

"That's what I said, but it's been five years since Chang Yu lost his wife."

"He has been at the border and has not returned to Beijing. There is no one he likes around him. How can he live a normal life?"

"Now Huan'er is getting older and understands more and more. What he said today about his fiancée and marriage... It's not easy for Chang Yu to start a family in the future."
