Chapter 858: One and a Half Sons

Princess Huainan and Xuanyuan Yao, mother and son, turned to look at Xie Jin at the same time, with strange and dull eyes, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Xie Jin looked at Xuanyuan Yao innocently: "Husband, what's wrong?"

That look seemed to say, didn't you keep emphasizing on the road that I must abide by my duties as a little wife?

Xuanyuan Yao's face was expressionless: I asked you to keep your duty, and I didn't ask you to be so shameless.

Xie Jin expressed his injustice. Doesn’t the young wife have to have a sweet mouth and be able to talk? Where did he go wrong?

Princess Huainan turned to look at her prince. The always cold and majestic King Huainan's mouth twitched sharply twice, his face turned slightly blue, and he was unusually rude.

However, King Huainan was King Huainan after all, and his loss of state only lasted a moment. He quickly regained his composure, slowly raised his hand to wipe away the tea from the corner of his mouth, and regained his composure.

"How long do you two plan to stay when you come back this time?"

"...two months." Xuanyuan Yao came back to his senses and replied, "The Lord has given us a long vacation. This time I can stay and accompany my father, queen, mother and concubine."

"I don't need your company." King Huainan said calmly, "Stay for half a month and leave Huainan immediately after half a month."

Xuanyuan Yao was stunned: "Why?"

Why? Still need to ask why?

King Huainan gave them a cold look: "I am upset when I see you."

Xuanyuan Yao: "..."

Xie Jin: "..."

"Your Majesty, don't be like this." The princess spoke with a helpless smile on her lips, "My son finally came back, why are you so anxious to drive him away? Although these two children are a bit unreliable, they are still a couple after all. Son, don’t break their hearts.”

Xuanyuan Yao was about to nod when he was suddenly surprised: "A son and a half?"

"Yes, you are our biological son, and your daughter-in-law is half a son. Doesn't it add up to one and a half?" Princess Huainan sighed, "Fortunately, your father and I had the foresight, otherwise we would not even have grandchildren in our lives." Not on."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Xie Jin faintly: "It's a pity that she can't have children. I can't even give her a gift as a mother-in-law."

Xie Jin hurriedly said: "Junior doesn't mind——"

"Do you want the ancestral jade bracelet?" Princess Yuyou said, "This princess was given as a gift by the Queen Mother when she married the prince."

Xie Jin choked, and then coughed lightly: "A gentleman will not take away people's love, and the younger generation will be ashamed of it."

The princess sneered.

"Father, mother and concubine." Xuanyuan Yao changed the subject and returned to business, "This time my son comes back, there is something else that requires the father's consent."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to take my younger brother to the imperial capital and let him study with the prince." Xuanyuan Yao said, "The Lord has agreed to this."

"Let Hui'er go to the imperial capital?" The princess frowned, "Why?"

The King of Huainan understood what Xuanyuan Yao meant. He was silent for a moment and said calmly: "That's okay. South Vietnam has just been destroyed, and Huainan's military strength needs to be greatly adjusted. There are still many things to be arranged in the future. In a few days, my family and three will go to Beijing. Let’s discuss the handover of military power with the regent, and let you, mother and son, stay in the imperial capital to accompany Her Majesty the Queen, so that I don’t have any worries and can concentrate on military affairs.”

The princess said: "A family of three?"

Xuanyuan Yao was also surprised: "A family of three?"

King Huainan frowned and looked at him: "Otherwise, we will still be a family of five?"

Xuanyuan Yao: "..." Well, he has been excluded from the family of three.

Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin stayed in Huainan for two months. In addition to the fact that the father and son had many military matters to discuss, it was also because the weather was too hot and it was not comfortable to travel. Moreover, the Lord was on a long vacation, so they were not in a hurry to go back for the time being.

So Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin stayed in Huainan for two months in such a grand manner. Even though the King of Huainan frequently frowned because of Xie Jin's shamelessness, he just turned a blind eye and was too lazy to find trouble for himself.

Before the hot summer was over, King Huainan ordered his people to pack their luggage and select dozens of elites, preparing to take his princess and young son to the imperial capital.

"The weather is hot, and it will not be very comfortable for my mother and my brother to be trapped in the carriage all the way." Xuanyuan Yao said, "Father, you might as well wait a little longer."

"We can't wait any longer." King Huainan said in a calm voice, "Kings from all over the world will arrive in Dongling one after another in August. If I arrive late, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the excitement."

After a pause, "As for your mother-in-law and Hui'er, I will try my best to take good care of them. I will rush in the morning and evening and rest when it is too hot at noon."

He, the prince in charge of the military, was of pure Aventurine blood. When kings from all over the world gathered together, he had to rush back to support the Aventurine army.

"My father and my concubine will leave first, and Hui'er will follow me." Xuanyuan Yao suggested, "My concubine can also ride a horse, so it won't be too uncomfortable to ride on a horse. Hui'er will be left with me and A Jin. We will take good care of him. , the mother-in-law doesn’t have to worry about her brother along the way.”

Princess Huainan was a little uneasy: "Hui'er is still young."

"He will be three years old in a few days." Xuanyuan Yao said, "I don't need to feed him. Is the mother worried that I will abuse him?"

Princess Huainan glared at him: "You kid, how can you talk?"

No matter how they talked, they finally listened to Xuanyuan Yao's suggestion. The King of Huainan and the Princess rode ahead with their elite troops. Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin still had the attitude of playing while walking, a few steps behind the King of Huainan and his wife, and took Hui'er to eat. Drink well and play well.

"Are Hui'er happy?" Xie Jin looked down at the little guy in his arms, with a slight smile on his face.

"happy."

"Brother Yao, how are you?"

"Okay."

"Is Brother Jin good?"

"Okay."

"Do you like Brother Yao and Brother Jin?"

"Yes."

Xuanyuan Yao listened to their questions and answers with a strange expression: "Ah Jin, you look like a matchmaker who abducts ignorant children."

Matchmaker?

Xie Jin turned to look at him: "Is there a matchmaker as young and handsome as me, as smart as me, in a high position and with deep loyalty?"

"Probably not before." Xuanyuan Yao said in a flat tone, "Won't there be one after you changed your career?"

Xie Jin sighed: "If I changed my career to become a matchmaker, the foundation of Dongling Country would be shaken."

Xuanyuan Yao was about to ask why, but suddenly realized what he meant and was speechless for a moment.

The Crown Prince of Dongling is only four years old, and Zhan'er from Xuanyuan Qi's family is about the same age as the Crown Prince. There is also the Second Prince Rong Zhan. With the favor Xie Jin enjoys in the court, the Crown Prince also trusts him, and he has always been willing to work harder for the competent, so he wants to abduct the Crown Prince, Zhan'er and Rong Zhan together...

This possibility is not impossible.

If such a thing really happened, even if Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent cut Xie Jin into pieces, and Prince Jing's Mansion sent troops to surround the Xie family, it is afraid that it will not be possible to avoid chaos in the country for a while.

Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment: "So this is why the superiors must be cautious in employing people. If they employ people with bad conduct, the consequences will be really unimaginable."
