"You didn't care about it earlier, and now you're angry. Are you blaming me for not taking good care of Qing'er?"

Qingning had a stern face. She had tried to teach her son earnestly but he just wouldn't listen.

Yu Qi took a deep breath.

Seeing that Qingning was very angry and seemed to have misunderstood his intention, he said to Zhou Jian: "You go down first."

Zhou Jian was covered in dust and must have been freezing cold after traveling all night.

"Yes, sir."

Zhou Jianru was pardoned, but he didn't know how the master and the mistress would discuss it, and whether they would agree to let their master follow Princess Jinning.

Yu Qi watched Zhou Jian leave.

He stood up and walked towards Qingning, squatting in front of his wife, "Madam, I am not blaming you. It was me who failed to teach that brat well."

Qingning felt a little soft-hearted when she saw Yu Qi's sincere look.

Yu Qi continued, "It's just that it's really inappropriate for him to go to the Emperor and the Queen Mother like this."

"How could I not know?" Qingning also felt embarrassed, but he was her son after all. As a mother, how could she not know what her son was thinking? "Qing'er, I'm afraid he likes Princess Jinning."

Yu Qi opened his mouth. He also thought so. "Grand Emperor, the Queen Mother can let Xie Yunchu be the Emperor's servant, but she may not agree with Qing'er and Princess Jinning."

Qingning couldn't refute.

Xie Yunchu has followed the emperor since he was young. He is prudent in his work and has made several contributions, both big and small. He has been working under the supervision of the retired emperor and the empress dowager since he was young, so he can be said to be very steady.

But what about Qing'er?

Qing'er has learned martial arts well but has never done anything serious, which is a bit worrying.

"But Yu Qi——"

Qingning looked at Yuqi, his tone soft and calm, "Qing'er is your son, he is as persistent as you."

"If he really likes Princess Jinning, he won't turn back until he hits a wall in his life."

Yu Qi smiled bitterly, "No, he won't turn back even if he hits a wall. Back then, after I was sure I liked you, I waited for you for so many years and I would not marry anyone but you."

Qingning's heart was in a knot.

Yu Qi said: "Qing'er is also considered the emperor, the queen mother has watched the child grow up, do you think Qing'er has a chance?"

"How do I know?"

Qingning took a deep breath and said, "I will write a letter to the Empress Dowager, asking her to let Qing'er go with him. No matter whether he will have the blessing in the future, at least he will not blame us."

"Okay, but I have to write him a message, too."

"Ah."

The couple each wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and called Zhou Jian over. "We agree. Whether he can let the emperor, the queen mother, and Princess Jinning keep him is up to him."

Then, Qingning handed the two letters to Zhou Jian and said, "Take the letters back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yu Qi said, "The other letter is from me to Qing'er. You should warn him to obey it. Otherwise, I will break his legs when he comes back."

Zhou Jian nodded, "Yes, I've taken note of it."

It took Zhou Jian a day and a half to return to the farm. It was already late at night. As soon as he arrived near the farm on horseback, he was surrounded by Yu Shiqi's secret guards.

"Don't get excited, hero. I'm not an assassin. I'm the servant of Master Zhou Yiqing."

"Wait."

The leading escort guard shouted coldly, and Yu Shiqi was awakened soon after.

After seeing Zhou Jian, he sighed, "Go in."

Zhou Jian breathed a sigh of relief. His whole body was wet from the wind and snow.

Trembling, he followed Yu Shiqi into the farm. Yu Shiqi asked, "Did Mr. and Mrs. Yu Qi agree?"

"Ah——" Zhou Jian didn't react. Thinking that he might be asking whether he agreed with Zhou Yiqing's travel, he said, "Yes, I agree."

Yu Shiqi lowered his head and smiled. Sure enough, the brat succeeded. He led Zhou Jian to Zhou Yiqing's guest room and said, "He's inside. Go ahead."

"Yes, thank you sir."

"When you're out and about and there aren't any adults around, just call me Uncle Seventeen."

Seeing that Yu Shiqi had already left, Zhou Jian had no choice but to go to the guest room where Zhou Yiqing was staying.

After knocking on the door and entering, Zhou Yiqing also woke up, "Zhou Jian, did my father and mother agree?"

"agreed."

Zhou Jian hurriedly handed over the letter written by his wife and master with both hands.

Zhou Yiqing opened it angrily.

It turned out to be a letter from his mother, asking the Empress Dowager to allow him to go on the trip with her.

But his father was much stricter. He told him to stay true to his duty and not to overstep it, otherwise he would break his legs when he got back!

How can there be such a father?

Abide by your duties?

What duty?

Zhou Yiqing suddenly remembered that his father was referring to the fact that he liked Zhen'er, right?

But he——

He didn't know what to say, so why not just be her bodyguard and protect her?

the next day.

Zhou Yiqing showed Su Yun the letter from her mother. Su Yun read Qingning's few words, which were all full of a mother's love for her child.

Su Yun handed it to Xiao Lusheng.

The latter took a look at it and did not take it. He just looked at Zhou Yiqing and said, "Your father and mother dote on you very much. Have you learned anything from your father?"

Zhou Yiqing scratched his head, "I-I know that my father and mother love me the most."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought that what he said would soften his father and mother's hearts.

Xiao Lusheng raised his hand, "Stand up, don't kneel down all the time in the future, just call us uncle and aunt when you are outside."

Zhou Yiqing was a little surprised. Why was the emperor so easy to talk to today?

Su Yun smiled and said, "Why don't you get up quickly?"

"Oh, yes, thank you uncle and aunt."

"Good boy."

Xiao Zhenzhen was not surprised to see that her father and mother were so nice to Zhou Yiqing.

When Zhou Yiqing was a child, her mother treated her very well when her Aunt Qingning brought her to the palace or to the Prince's Mansion.

Three days later, the snow melted away.

The sky after it clears up gives people a clear and bright feeling.

Chujiu was busy with work and had already sent out the invitations for the plum blossom viewing banquet to be held in the palace.

Children of the powerful and wealthy families in the capital can all participate.

"Did you send the invitation from the eldest lady?" Xie Yunchu asked Chujiu.

Chujiu nodded, "Of course I did."

Not only that, but the boats for cruising the lake and the pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake were also renovated.

"Yunchu."

Xiao Yao's voice came.

Xie Yunchu stood up reflexively and immediately went out to greet her, "Sister..."

Xiao Yao sighed, "There are fewer memorials today." So I came to see you.

Xie Yunchu was also very surprised. After all, yesterday, he went to Wende Hall to find her, but was stopped outside the hall by Tang An and Yi Rui.

"Everyone go down." Xiao Yao waved her hand and drove everyone away.

Xie Yunchu didn't understand why they chased people away in broad daylight, but he was secretly happy.

After all, I haven’t been close to A Yao for two days.

He thought that as soon as they closed the door, he would go and hug her immediately.

Who would have thought that when the door closed, the two of them actually moved at the same time, and Xiao Yao's chin even hit his hard sternum, "Ah——"
