The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 286 Why Are You So Naive

The matter of the separation of the family was resolved, and everyone on the side was quite satisfied. The old concubine didn't say anything, she was not stingy with this little thing, after all, the big head of the palace was in her hands.

Separation is beneficial and harmless to her, so why not do it?
After the butler and the others left, the maids quickly cleaned up all the broken porcelain on the floor.

Only then did the old concubine speak: "Since the matter is settled, it's getting late, let's have dinner."

As soon as she waved her hand, the servants brought in the table and added stools, and the maids filed in to bring out the delicacies.

The old concubine looked at Xiao Yu: "The prince is now the head of the family, and he should be the first."

She sat in the pear flower armchair without moving.

Others also looked at Xiao Yu one after another.

Xiao Yu smiled, and stood up unhurriedly: "This king came back this time, just wanting to have a homely meal. Since it is a family banquet, it will not be divided according to rank. Mother should sit first."

She vacated the first seat and took the seat on the lower left.

The old concubine looked at her steadily, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Then do as the prince said."

She stood up supported by Ruhua, Shi Shiran walked to the first seat and sat down, Xiao Qin silently walked to her right and sat down.

Seeing that the three of them, mother and son, were seated, the rest of the people found their seats and took their seats.

"These dishes are all your favorites. It's rare to come back, so eat more."

While talking, the old concubine filled a bowl of soup and put it in front of Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu glanced at the dishes on the table, his eyes were indifferent, like to eat?Maybe.

She silently picked up the chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls. She couldn't eat or sleep without speaking. If she didn't speak, other people would naturally not be annoying by chattering.

So it was obviously a New Year's Eve dinner, but it was so quiet that it was a little heavy.

Especially the continuous sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside made their side even more desolate and lonely.

Soon Xiao Yu lost his appetite, put down his chopsticks, saw that the old concubine swallowed the last mouthful of soup, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "My lord, have you eaten?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "En."

"Since you're full, let's leave. You go back to your respective yards to watch the New Year's Eve. You don't have to follow us. The prince will follow me. I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to talk to the prince."

Concubine Luo was still thinking about what she got tonight, and she had no objection when she heard that, she dragged Xiao Quan away happily, Xiao Quan looked back at Xiao Yu before leaving.

Mrs. Ning led Xiao Ming to salute and then retreated. In the hall, there were only three of them, mother and son, plus cold clothes and picturesque.

Silence spread silently, Xiao Qin looked at his mother and then at Xiao Yu, opened his mouth, and called out hesitantly: "Second brother, are you unhappy?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and smiled at him: "Why do you ask that?"

Xiao Qin felt that she was quite gentle when talking to him, so he became more courageous, and he seemed to have regained the feeling he had when he was with his second brother.

His face softened, and he said to Xiao Yu with a smile: "It just feels like you haven't eaten much, and your expression is also light, and it seems that you have something on your mind."

The old concubine looked at her little son who was not familiar with the world, and felt a little complicated, "Qin'er, let's go back to mother's yard, it's warmer there."

"Ah yes, it's a bit cold here, second brother, let's go."

He stood up and walked to Xiao Yu's side. He was only eight years old, so he was naturally much shorter than Xiao Yu, and he only reached Xiao Yu's heart when he stood up.

Xiao Yu stared at him with lowered eyes, his eyes were full of clear light, and he had never been polluted by the world.

She had seen this kind of look in Jun Rong when she was a child, but now, when he looked at her, it seemed to be different.

Xiao Yu lost his mind for a moment, and felt something else in his heart.

Seeing her in a daze, Xiao Qin couldn't help being a little worried, "Second Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

"If you are tired, go back and rest?"

The old concubine had already stood up, her eyes swept across Xiao Yu's face faintly, and said softly to Xiao Qin: "Qin'er, help your second brother up, if you are tired, go to my place and have a rest, your second brother's The room hasn't been tidied yet."

Xiao Qin blinked: "Ah? Why didn't you clean it up? Isn't someone cleaning it every day?"

Xiao Yu: "..."

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the old concubine's face froze for a moment, and suddenly felt that she was in a much better mood.

The old concubine turned and walked out: "Someone is cleaning the room, but the quilts have not been used for a long time, so I'm afraid they might be a little damp. I'll have people replace them with new ones later, and keep them warm."

"Oh."

Xiao Qin patted his head, turned to look at Xiao Yu: "Second brother, let's go to mother's yard and sit down, you haven't come back for a long time, I miss you very much."

Xiao Qin liked to chatter like he was when he was a child, Xiao Yu got up and gave Han Yi a look, Han Yi followed immediately.

……

"Sit down, Ruyan—bring some tea."

"Yes." Ruyan leaned out, and soon came in with a tray, adding hot tea and snacks to the three of them.

As soon as the old concubine waved her hand, she withdrew with a wink, "Qin'er, you should go outside to play first, I have something to say to your second brother alone."

"Can't you tell me? I'm not young..." Xiao Qin was a little unhappy, the old concubine looked serious, and when she just looked at someone without saying a word, she didn't get angry.

Xiao Qin glanced at her, knowing that there was nothing to discuss, so he curled his lips, stood up, and said to Xiao Yu: "Then second brother, I will look for you later."

Xiao Yu nodded and did not speak.

The old concubine's eyes fell on Han Yi, and said with a light smile: "It seems that Xuan Yiwei has lived well in your hands these years."

Han Yi didn't look sideways, and didn't talk to him.

Xiao Yu raised his hand: "Han Yi, wait for me on the porch."

"Yes, master." Han Yi cupped his fists respectfully, turned and left.

The smile on the lips of the old princess froze.

There is no outsider, so there is no need to pretend anymore, Xiao Yu sat calmly in the armchair, looked at the old concubine directly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"There are no outsiders anymore, and mother doesn't call anymore?"

"Oh, do you lack this mother?"

Xiao Yu smiled.

The old concubine squinted her eyes and asked coldly: "What do you mean? The wings are hard, and even my mother is not in your eyes?"

"My wings have always been pretty hard, but compared to my life, it's still a little bit worse, don't you think?"

The old princess: "..."

"I don't want to point out some things. After all, people still have some dignity in life, but if you insist on taking Joe, then I'm afraid you have to make it clear, lest your nobleman forget things too much."

Xiao Yu took a look at the tea, but didn't drink it, "Well, Longjing, you really like this tea."

The old concubine straightened her back, holding the airs of a concubine, with an uneasy expression on her face: "Xiao Yu, what did you come back for? Is this your attitude? I gave birth to you and raised you, so you repay me like this?"

"Hahaha—why do you say such things? Do you think these words have any deterrent effect on me, a person who has closed the door of hell? Now that I am not afraid of death, I am still afraid that you will use filial piety to suppress me?"

She put the teacup back on the table, and said with a "boom", "Princess, why are you so naive when you are old?"

　The old concubine is really a very selfish person, her only feelings are probably given to her youngest son
