Chapter 734: A sip of hot tea and then leave
Since Xiao Jingyi said so, Queen Luan Xiying naturally would not force it and put the serving chopsticks in her hand on the table.
"Then Yu'er, have some hot tea!
It is late autumn now, and the weather is getting colder and colder, especially in the mornings and evenings.
Yier, you should also remember to put on more clothes and be careful not to catch a cold!"
These everyday words, spoken by Queen Luan Xiying...seem more natural.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, nephew. I'll take note of it!"
On the surface, Xiao Jingyi had an expression of gratitude for the care from his elders.
However, deep in my heart there were only three words filled with sarcasm and hatred - hypocritical!
Xiao Jingyi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then turned to look at Xiao Jingyu who was sitting next to him, and asked even though he knew the answer...
"Brother Yu, why did you come to the palace so early in the morning?
I thought that after you finished your morning court yesterday, you couldn't wait to rush back to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain!"
"My brother is joking!
Don't you know why I came back to Beijing from Yunxiang Mountain?"
Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Jingyi indifferently.
"Haha... this... this foolish brother naturally knows!
Yesterday, I went to attend the morning court.
I am just thinking...those girls will be picked up by their families soon.
There are no more troubles on Yunxiang Mountain. Brother Yu should not stay in Beijing for a moment before returning to Yunxiang Mountain to accompany your future little princess to complete the last day of Buddhist rituals!"
After saying this, Xiao Jingyi picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.
Xiao Jingyu smiled casually, stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, and said, "It won't take a day or two!
What if... after those annoying girls leave, some other troubles arise... then it will be difficult to deal with!
It is said that it is better to be still than to move.
Instead of traveling back and forth between the capital and Yunxiang Mountain, it is better to stay quietly and steadily in the capital.
After Yue'er and the others have finished their Buddhist rituals today, it won't be too late for me to go to Yunxiang Mountain to pick her and the Anguo family back home!"
"I see!
That's true!"
Xiao Jingyi smiled and nodded seriously, but he was secretly thinking in his heart... You are lucky that you didn't go to Yunxiang Mountain yesterday!
I have to go pick someone up today... haha... if you can bring back a few dead people it will be worth the trip!
As for Leng Rongyue whom you wanted to pick up, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see her for a while!
When you see her again, you may not know what to call her...
Xiao Jingyi lowered his head and drank his tea, trying to hide the pride in his eyes that he could not hide.
After swallowing the tea in his mouth, Xiao Jingyi asked Xiao Jingyu again, "When do you plan to go to Yunxiang Mountain to pick someone up, brother Yu?"
Xiao Jingyu glanced at Xiao Jingyi who was drinking tea with his head down, and a flash of sarcasm flashed across the corner of his lips.
"Afternoon!
Today is a day off and I have nothing to do, so I can spend some time with my father, the emperor and my mother.
At noon, I will have lunch with my father and mother, and then I will lead people out of the capital to Yunxiang Mountain!"
As he said that, Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Jingyi and said, "It's a day off today, and I think my brother is also free. Why don't we stay here? We can have lunch together at noon, is that okay?"
Xiao Jingyu asked casually.
"This... Oh, I really have no free time today!
I still have some trivial matters to take care of at home, so I won't bother the emperor's uncle and aunt any more!
After greeting the Emperor's uncle and aunt, it's time for me to go back!"
Xiao Jingyi politely declined Xiao Jingyu's half-hearted attempt to keep him.
“Oh, that’s a pity!
I originally wanted to play a game of hand-to-hand combat with you, my brother. It seems that this match...will be postponed again. What a pity!"
Xiao Jingyu's regret still lacked sincerity.
But, when Xiao Jingyi heard this... somehow, Xiao Jingyi's heart couldn't help but tremble...
At the same time, I was a little panicked...
"Brother Yu, are you making fun of me?
How dare I, your foolish brother, compete with you in chess?
I have always been defeated by Brother Yu!"
Xiao Jingyi laughed twice and said.
"My royal brother is too modest!
During this trip to Yunxiang Mountain, I had the honor to meet Master Wuchen. Thanks to Master Wuchen’s instruction, I finally understood what it means to look up to a towering mountain!
I really gained a lot of insights from it!
It turns out that my chess skills were just a child's game!"
Xiao Jingyu smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, then looked at Xiao Jingyi and said, "Oh, in fact, if my royal brother is free today, why not go to Yunxiang Mountain with me?
If I could be so lucky as to receive some guidance from Master Wuchen, I would surely be able to gain a lot of enlightenment!"
Xiao Jingyu's words seemed more sincere.
However, this sincere invitation was rejected by Xiao Jingyi.
"Hearing what Brother Yu said, I really feel yearning for it!
But I really have something to do today, so I can only ask Master Wuchen for chess lessons another day!"
"is it?
That’s such a pity!
In that case, let’s do it another day!”
After Xiao Jingyu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip...the tea was cold.
"Switch to hot tea!"
Xiao Jingyu gave orders to the palace servant standing by.
"Yes, Your Highness Prince Yu!"
When the palace servants heard Prince Yu's order to bring hot tea, they immediately started moving without stopping!
In a blink of an eye, hot tea was placed in front of Emperor Hongde, Empress Luan Xiying, Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi picked up the teacup, took a sip, put it down, and then said goodbye.
