The capital bustled with activity in the early morning.
Xie Jingyu and Xie Shi'an sat in the carriage, father and son looked like they were carved from the same mold, even their temperament was similar.
Passing through the busiest streets, the carriage drove into the most prime section of the capital, where those who lived here were all dignitaries, the least of which were second rank officials.
"When you enter the royal residence later, you must be careful with your words." Xie Jingyu admonished, "The king's mansion has big rules, you are young, don't open your mouth to speak easily."
Xie Shi An nodded, "Father, I'll remember."
The two of them walked to the entrance of the royal residence, and Xie Jingyu was just about to step onto the steps when the guards guarding both sides of the gate snapped, "What kind of person, what are you doing here, do you have a post?"
Xie Jingyu arched his hand and said, "I am Xie Jingyu, the Household Department Langzhi, the day before yesterday, my lowly wife bumped into your young son, I have come to make amends and apologize."
"So there's no post?" The guard looked at him with his chin up, "Wait at the door, I'll go in first and ask."
Xie Jingyu's face was a bit ugly.
He was at least a fifth-ranking official of the imperial court, and this guard had contempt written all over his face, and even made him wait at the gate, how could he be so neglectful of him.
"So this is the Chancellor's door three ranked officials." Xie Shi An said softly, "Great grandfather was a Xiucai, grandfather was a Jiu Ren, father passed the Scholarship examination, but in just over five years he became a fifth rank official at the court, by my generation, I will definitely be able to make the Xie family the new nobles of the court, but by then, I won't let Xie family slaves look down on anyone."
Xie Jingyu's face was full of comfort, "It's not in vain that your father cultivated you so much."
As they were speaking, footsteps came, and the two stopped talking and assumed the appearance of respectful waiting.
A small pink and white group of people walked out from the gate of the royal residence, it was the four year old little son of the Pingxi royal residence.
As soon as he saw the two men waiting at the door, the anticipation on his delicate little face turned to anger.
"Greetings, World Son." Xie Jingyu picked up the cage in his hands and presented it with both hands, "This is an extremely rare Iron Headed Greenback Fighting Cricket, with a strong temperament and extremely ferocious, please have a look at it, World Son."
The little guy stomped down the steps, took the cage, and slammed it downward.
"This cricket is ugly as hell, I don't like it!" The young son of the world was filled with anger, pointing at Xie Jingyu's nose, "Go back and tell that woman to come to the royal palace herself!"
What good crickets had he not seen before, he only wanted the crickets that the woman herself had sent him.
When he thought of the woman he had seen at the teahouse that day, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he didn't know why, but he just wanted to see her.
The more aggravated he became, the angrier he became, and he exclaimed, "Tell her that if she doesn't come, I'll go to her!"
"Who are you going after?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterward, a sweat-blooded horse stopped at the entrance of the mansion, and the man wearing a purple and black court dress rolled over and dismounted.
Xie Jingyu turned around, his back bending to the lowest possible level, "My humble servant has met His Majesty, greetings to His Majesty!"
This was the first time he had been so close to the King of the Flat West.
This is a great opportunity to get to know the King of Ping Xi.
King Pingxi did not even look at him and walked forward, picking up the little group with one hand.
His voice was extremely low, "Who did you just say you were going to find?"
"Father ...," the little one craned his neck, "I, I wasn't looking for anyone, you heard wrong, Father."
The man laughed coldly and raised his hand to throw him into the side boy's arms, "If he takes one step out of the royal residence, you group of serving ones will never enter the gates of the royal residence."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Xie Jingyu: "Childish jokes, don't take it too seriously, Lord Xie, don't come back in the future."
Xie Jingyu was about to say something when the Pingxi King had already stridden into the royal residence.
The two guards at the gate closed the door of the royal residence.
Xie Jingyu's face was filled with disappointment.
Such a great opportunity, and he didn't even take it.
Xie Shian spoke up, "Why don't we let mother ..."
Xie Jingyu pursed her lips, "No need."
It was a shame that he, a big man, couldn't handle this, and had his wife step in.
But Yunchu wasn't a fool who didn't know anything.
The coachman who sent Xie Jingyu and Xie Shi'an to the royal mansion was a member of the Yun family that she brought into the mansion, and told her the whole story about what happened at the entrance of the royal mansion.
"Let our Lady personally go to the royal residence?" Hearing Frost was filled with surprise, "The royal residence does not have a princess, it is really inappropriate for the Lady to make a visit, how can this young son of the world make such a request?"
The coachman lowered his head and said, "King Pingxi scolded the young Shizi and told the people of the Xie family not to come back to the door."
Listening to the snow sighed in relief, "It seems that this matter is considered to be over, the Pingxi King is really sensible, knowing that this matter is the little world son's fault, and does not make things difficult for our lady."
Yunchu nodded.
The Pingxi King has always been a sensible person, the last life of the Yun family behind bars, only the Pingxi King is willing to run ...
As she was talking, Listening Rain walked in from the doorway, "Ma'am, this is the soup I specially cooked for you, drink it while it's hot."
Yunchu's voice was light: "I've had my soup, you take it away."
Listening to the rain's lips na na open, she said in a fretful manner, "Ma'am, did the concubine do something wrong, or where did Yun Ge'er mess up the rules?"
In the past few days, the madam had punished the eldest and second young masters in a big way, and she was afraid that Yun Ge'er had also made some mistake that had upset the madam, so she had kicked mother and son out of the Yusheng Residence.
When she lived in the Yusheng Residence, she served the Lady close to her, and was very honorable in the Xie Mansion.
Since moving out of here, the food and clothing are a little worse not to mention that those big maids and maids in the mansion still dare to give her face ...
That's why she had the audacity to come over and ask her ladyship what was going on.
Yunchu looked at her and said, "Since you gave birth to Yun Ge'er, you have never served your lord, I thought about it, it's better to set up a separate courtyard to live in, it's also easier for your lord to stay overnight."
Hearing Rain bit her lower lip.
Yun Chou picked up the ledger and flipped it open, she knew that Madam was going to get busy and could only bow her head and retreat.
Just as he walked outside the yard, he heard a snort.
"Yo, isn't this our Aunt Rain?" Listening to the wind coldly laughed, "Aunt Jiang, Aunt Tao are all staying peacefully in their own courtyards, you are the only one who likes to move in front of madam, you don't think that just because you grew up serving madam that you are different from the other aunts, do you. From the day you climbed into the bed of an adult behind the back of the lady, the lady has not taken you seriously. Now treat you, but only for the face of the third young master, you should be happy that you have a good son ..."
Listening to the rain hard to explain, "That night I really did not mean ... is the adult drunk ..."
"This kind of bedlam matter you don't want to explain to me as a yellow-flower girl." Listening to the wind tugged at the corner of her lips, "A maiden like me can't afford to be your aunt's explanation, Aunt Rain, take your time and don't see me off."
Listening to the rain humiliated and biting her lip, she turned around and walked out of the Sheng Residence.
Yunchu sat on the couch a little lost in thought.
Listening Frost is twenty this year, and the youngest, Listening Wind, is sixteen, so it's time to find them husbands.
After Hearing Frost died in her last life, Hearing Wind and Hearing Snow made a vow not to marry for the rest of their lives, and in this life, they couldn't let a couple of maids follow her around and be alone.
