Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 54 Grandparents and grandchildren chatting
When Yuan Qingbai came to Dan to settle down, he walked into Emperor Jing'an's bedroom and found Emperor Jing'an leaning on the bedside, his face pale and looking haggard.

Tao Quan was standing beside the bed serving Emperor Jing'an to drink soup.

"My grandson greets the emperor's grandfather." Yuan Qingbai bowed and stepped forward, took the soup bowl from Tao Quan's hand, scooped a spoonful of hot soup and brought it to Emperor Jing'an's mouth.

Yuan Qingbai was already proficient in serving soup and medicine to Emperor Jing'an.

Emperor Jing'an asked Yuan Qingbai to sit on the edge of the bed before taking a sip of the hot soup. Yuan Qingbai scooped up the hot soup and asked, "Is the emperor's grandfather in good health? Why did he suddenly fall ill again?"

Emperor Jing'an sighed, but remained silent, and drank another mouthful of hot soup.

Why did you suddenly fall ill?

I am both angry and tired.

Because the eleventh prince murdered the third prince, Emperor Jing'an had been very angry and tired these past few days, which had affected his diet and sleep.

Yuan Qingbai said: "Grandfather, can my grandson touch your forehead?"

Emperor Jing'an nodded, and Yuan Qingbai reached out and touched his forehead: "The fever is severe."

Emperor Jing'an said: "It's much better now. I had a severe fever last night and the bedding was soaked with sweat."

At this moment, the old emperor seemed to be complaining about a sick child.

Sometimes, old people can act like children.

Yuan Qingbai continued to serve the soup and said, "I should have sent someone to serve my grandson last night. How come I didn't send my grandson here this morning?"

Emperor Jing'an said: "I don't want to call you over in the middle of the night, not to mention that you just had someone in the room recently."

Yuan Qingbai said: "It is a blessing for the grandson that the emperor's grandfather cares about his grandson. However, if the emperor's grandfather wants to ask his grandson to serve him, he can send someone to summon him at any time, but it is too late for his grandson to be honored. How can he be unhappy at all because of this?"

In this way, Yuan Qingbai talked about some concerns while serving the soup, and the bowl of soup was quickly gone.

Emperor Jing'an said, "Just sit on the edge of this bed and chat with me for a while."

Yuan Qingbai smiled slightly: "The emperor's grandfather is sick. Unless you drive your grandson away, your grandson will not leave."

Emperor Jing'an glanced at Tao Quan, who had been standing in the dormitory: "Tao Quan, please step aside."

Tao Quan said "yes" respectfully and walked out of the bedroom. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back at Yuan Qingbai and sighed quietly in his heart:

"If nothing else happens, the third prince should be the emperor, and the third master Bai in front of me should be the emperor of another generation!"

He has already decided in his heart that from now on he must not only be extra respectful to the Third Prince, but also be extra respectful to Third Master Bai...

After Tao Quan left, Emperor Jing'an and Yuan Qingbai were the only two grandsons left in the dormitory.

Yuan Qingbai said: "Grandfather, it's better to lie down. You can talk to your grandson while lying down."

Emperor Jing'an shook his head: "It's uncomfortable to lie down, and it's inconvenient to talk to you, so I just lean on you like this."

Yuan Qingbai nodded and chatted with Emperor Jing'an for a few more words.

At this time, Emperor Jing'an couldn't help but sigh: "Qingbai, you must be upright and upright in the future. Don't imitate your rebellious uncles!"

Yuan Qingbai became serious: "My grandson was raised and trained by the imperial grandfather, and he has always used his imperial grandfather as a role model. His grandson has always kept his teachings in mind." Emperor Jing'an sighed again: "I just can't understand that your eldest uncle, second uncle, and eleventh uncle were all raised and trained by me, especially your eldest uncle. I spent a lot of time and effort on him."

"Why are they all so rebellious?"

"Your eldest uncle actually murdered my father, your second uncle actually plotted to kill your eldest uncle, and this time, your eleventh uncle plotted to murder your father. How did I raise such rebellious sons?"

Yuan Qingbo paused and said, "My grandson doesn't dare to speak nonsense about this kind of thing, and he shouldn't speak nonsense either."

"My grandson just wants to plead with the imperial grandfather. There is no need to blame yourself for this, let alone be sad or even hurt yourself."

"This kind of thing happens because the imperial grandfather is the emperor, and the uncles belong to the emperor's family."

"It's also because people are different. It was not easy for my imperial grandfather to raise my uncle, my father."

"As for how they will change when they grow up, how can the emperor care about them? The emperor is not even busy with state affairs."

Emperor Jing'an continued to sigh: "Before, I told you to have more children in the future, but now I think about it and feel that having more children may not be a good thing."

"Your eldest uncle, second uncle and eleventh uncle are rebellious and disobedient because I have too many children."

Yuan Qingbai wiped Emperor Jing'an's forehead and face with a towel, and said with a smile: "My grandson doesn't dare to accept what the emperor said. He neither dares to say it's wrong, nor does he dare to say it's right."

"But the grandson listens to the emperor's grandfather."

"The Imperial Grandfather has just recently made a decree to his grandson, asking him to have more children in the future. If the Imperial Grandfather now feels that the grandson should not have more children in the future, he can make another decree and the grandson will comply with it."

When Emperor Jing'an heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He didn't seem to smile in the past few days, but now he smiled.

Emperor Jing'an smiled and said, "As weird as you are, I just couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but I didn't say that having more children is bad and having fewer children is good."

"What's more, I asked you to have more children. Since this decree has already been made, how can you easily change it?"

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "Grandfather is right. Since you know that you can't say anything bad about having more children, why should you blame yourself for this? Although you are lenient, you should not blame yourself easily. .”

Emperor Jing'an sighed again: "If the secret report hadn't come in time this time, your father would probably have been murdered by those rebels. It shows that your father was very lucky."

Yes, the father of the cold-faced king is blessed with great fortune. After all, it is the destiny of the emperor.

Yuan Qingbai thought in his heart and said: "As the son of the imperial grandfather, my father is a great blessing."

"As for this time, my father was able to escape because of the glory of the emperor's grandfather. It was the emperor's grandfather who was lucky enough to get the secret report in time and send someone to rescue my father in time."

The grandfather and grandson were chatting like this, and Emperor Jing'an became tired. Yuan Qingbai noticed it keenly and said, "Grandfather is tired. My grandson will help you lie down and rest."

Emperor Jing'an nodded, and Yuan Qingbai helped him lie down with his eyes half closed.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Jing'an suddenly opened his eyes again, stared at Yuan Qingbai, and asked: "Qingbai, do you miss your ninth uncle?"

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "My grandson dare not deceive the emperor's grandfather. I do miss Uncle Nine. Uncle Nine treated me kindly in the past."

Emperor Jing'an sighed and said, "In total, your Uncle Ninth has been trapped for three years. With his temper, these three years of imprisonment have been enough for him, and it's time to let him out."

Yuan Qingbai felt happy, the old man was going to let Uncle Jiu come out to assist the Cold Noodle King!
