"Father, why are you here?" He Zexu entered the hall and saluted the person sitting with a smile on his face.
"What? Father?" When Xiao An heard this, he stood up immediately and looked at him in surprise. The person he played chess with for an hour turned out to be his father's father, the emperor of Anyu Kingdom, and his own imperial grandfather?
Xiao An's reaction made the beardless man sigh and shake his head.
"Yes, I am his father. When we were in the garden before, didn't you guess correctly that I am also named He?" He Ganyun smiled and stroked his short beard and said to Xiao An.
Oh my god, Xiao An smiled awkwardly and hurriedly walked behind his father.
Xiao An didn't feel embarrassed, but he was a little scared. He thought hard, wasn't he very rude to his grandfather just now?
He was not afraid of anything else, but he was worried that if he was rude, would it affect his grandfather's impression of his mother?
Seeing his son like this, He Zexu suddenly wanted to laugh.
Such a brave son is sometimes afraid?
"Father, if you have anything to tell me, you can just send someone to call me. Why do you have to come here in person? The rebels have been put down. Who can guarantee that nothing has slipped through the net?" Heze Xuyin He said it very seriously under the smile brought by his son.
"Xu'er, if my father has nothing to do, he can't look for you. Can't he come to his son's palace to see you?" He Ganyun sighed, looked at his son and asked.
He Zexu frowned: "Father, don't forget, you are not an ordinary father from an ordinary family."
He Ganyun was very unhappy after listening to his son's lesson. He pointed behind He Zexu and said, "Where is this kid from and what does he do? My father is very happy with him."
From the moment he came in, He Zexu had already concluded that Xiao An had not revealed his identity, and his father did not know the relationship between Xiao An and him.
He really had no intention of letting Xiao An appear in front of his father.
However, who could have imagined that when he went out to do business, his father would change into casual clothes and come to the palace, and even see Xiao An, and he said he was very happy!
He Zexu's current mood is very complicated and contradictory.
He wanted to tell his father and everyone that Xiao An was his son.
However, he didn't want to tell his father. He was not afraid that his father would disapprove of the child. What he was worried about was whether his father's disapproval would make Xiao An sad and disappointed.
This kid Xiao An is very sincere.
He Zexu really didn't want his child to be harmed physically and mentally.
He Ganyun looked at his son's troubled face and glanced at Eunuch Su: "Go and wait outside. I have something to talk to King Ji alone."
Eunuch Su immediately stepped back, winking at Xiao An behind He Zexu.
This kid looks very excited, why is he so ignorant? Didn't I hear His Majesty say, do you want to talk to King Ji alone if you have something to say?
Xiao An understood Eunuch Su's hint: "Your Majesty, in this case, I will go back to the room to rest first."
After saying that, Xiao An walked out. After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and stopped again. He turned to look at the emperor's grandfather and bowed deeply to him with clasped fists: "Xiao An was rude earlier. Please ask your Majesty. Don’t remember the faults of villains.”
Then, when Xiao An raised his head, he took a deep look at the emperor's grandfather. This was the first time he saw the emperor's grandfather, and it might also be the only time. He wanted to imprint the emperor's grandfather's appearance in his heart.
After Xiao An finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute." He Zexu suddenly spoke.
His son's reaction just now fell into his eyes, so he had already made a decision in his heart.
Xiao An stopped and looked at his father. He didn't understand what he was calling her for. Could it be that he was telling her to go back to the room, stop sleeping, and wait for him to come with him?
"Father, Xiao An is not an outsider, just let him stay." He Zexu said to his father.
He had made a decision in his heart, but he still wanted to give his father a chance. Maybe, his father would not want this opportunity!
So, does it count as the father's destiny? It is destined that his fate with this grandson is just a chance encounter.
He Ganyun liked this boy very much, because in front of this boy, he was not a king.
He's just a very ordinary, common man's uncle.
"Well, since you think there's nothing wrong with him staying, then let him stay here." He Ganyun nodded in agreement.
As a father, there is nothing for him to be worried about when his son trusts him.
What's more, the other party is still only a half-grown child.
Hearing that his father agreed, He Zexu twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Xu'er, this is your mansion, sit down and talk." He Ganyun said to his son.
Hearing this, He Zexu did not immediately come forward and sit down, but looked at his son.
"Xiao An, come and sit too." He Ganyun followed his son's gaze and understood what his son was thinking.
However, He Ganyun was very puzzled as to why his son cared so much about a young man?
Could it be that the son didn't like women, as originally rumored outside, and that this boy was the son's favorite?
Therefore, he suddenly married Mrs. Gu, the lord of the six cities, as the princess. In fact, it was not because he was happy with that woman at all, but because he, the father, could regain the three cities of Xuzhou and then use that woman as a shield. ?
This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Therefore, the fact that this young man will appear here and his previous speech and behavior are all explained.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, He Ganyun shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the terrible thought just now. How could he think so badly about his son!
He Ganyun couldn't help but look at the boy again. The boy was really good-looking, with the shadow of his son between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao An just felt that the emperor's grandfather looked at her a little strangely, but he didn't think much about it.
After thanking him, he came forward and sat down next to his father.
"Xu'er, don't tell me, this kid looks a bit like you, especially his facial features. You said that if you got married early, you might actually have such a big son." He Ganyun sighed.
He Ganyun's words made the two men sitting next to each other look at each other, and they both saw smiles in each other's eyes.
"Father, do you feel that I, my son, am pitiful?" He Zexu asked.
"Xu'er, my father either feels sorry for you or is worried about you. You don't want to marry and have children. I don't think there's anything wrong with it now, but what will happen when you get older?
If you have no children or grandchildren, even if you are a prince with no worries about food and clothing, a distinguished status, and numerous military exploits, you will realize what it means to be miserable in your later years.
By the way, my father came here to tell you that since you have married that woman as your princess, she should still be able to have children, right?
Don't worry about annoying your father. Your father doesn't want to say bad things about the woman. He just wants to tell you that a woman who is greedy for power is very powerful...
