Xiao Ci really didn't know whether Xiao Jingchuan had ever been bullied by anyone. His face suddenly darkened, and his whole person had a somewhat dull aura.
He didn't speak, so Song Qinghuan just assumed that he knew what was going on and didn't want to say anything more.
Hot soup and hot dishes have been prepared in Prince Rui's Mansion for a long time, and as soon as a few people return to the house, the food from the kitchen will be delivered to Zhilan Residence.
Xiao Jingtong didn't use anything in the palace, he just went to sleep. He woke up before returning to the palace, sat down at the dining table, and drank the soup in small sips from the bowl.
Xiao Ci looked as usual, Xiao Jingchuan also looked calm, and everyone acted as if nothing had happened.
After eating, he took away all the leftovers on the table. The little maid brought tea. Xiao Ci took a sip, then sighed and said to Xiao Jingchuan: "It's been a long time since we, father and son, have spoken together. Let's go outside."
Let's take a walk."
When Xiao Jingtong heard that he was going to go outside, he immediately jumped up and said repeatedly: "I'll go too, I'll go too..."
Xiao Jingchuan subconsciously looked at Song Qinghuan, with a hint of displeasure on his brows.
Song Qinghuan looked at his nose, nose and heart and pretended not to see anything. He only said to Xiao Jingtong: "I have a new box of pearls and asked someone to string two strands of flowers on them. Sister Tong, do you want to take a look? If it doesn't suit you, take advantage of this."
I can still repair it, so I can wear it tomorrow."
Xiao Jingtong hesitated again at that moment. He glanced at Xiao Ci and then at Song Qinghuan. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Well, then I won't go with my father."
While talking, Xiao Ci had already stood up and left the house. Xiao Jingchuan also stood up and looked at Song Qinghuan deeply before going out.
Song Qinghuan then raised his head and nodded slightly towards him.
The father and son always had something to say when they were alone together, so they simply left the residence and just walked around the palace aimlessly.
Xunmei brought the box, took out the newly made pearl string, put it on Xiao Jingtong's hair, and asked her to take a closer look with the target mirror.
Xiao Jing was not very young, but he loved beauty very much. He looked at it from left to right, his eyes narrowed with joy, and he couldn't bear to take it off for a long time.
Facing Song Qinghuan's smiling expression, she calmed down again and said uncomfortably for a while: "Thank you, Princess."
Song Qinghuan was surprised when she held the tea bowl, but she was happy to see what she heard and smiled: "There's no need to be polite. I just want the princess to be more merciful in the future."
"Hmph..." Xiao Jingtong snorted softly: "Don't push yourself too far."
Touching the string of pearls on her bun, she felt very happy even though her words didn't sound very nice.
She grew up in the palace, and Empress Dowager Jiang really doted on her. Whenever she asked for something, Empress Dowager Jiang would always give it to her.
But the things you ask for are different from those carefully given by others.
She grew up in a wealthy family and had seen a lot of good things, but a mere two strings of pearls were not really good things.
But in her limited memory, apart from Xiao Qianqian from Prince Wu's Mansion who carefully prepared things with her, Song Qinghuan had to deal with this.
Those who rewarded them casually cannot be compared with others who carefully prepared them.
It's rare for a family of four to celebrate the New Year together, so today everyone has to stay up late.
Xiao Ci and Xiao Jingchuan had not returned yet, so there were only two people in the room, Song Qinghuan and Xiao Jingtong.
Xiao Jingtong still wore the string of pearls on her bun, but she still had to reach out and touch it from time to time.
The two of them couldn't say a few words in the room, so Xunmei came in and teased Xiao Jingtong to play with the flower rope.
Song Qinghuan was busy with New Year's celebrations these days, and was a little tired. He yawned and felt a little sleepy. Seeing Xunmei acting like a child, playing enthusiastically with Xiao Jingtong, he also smiled and said,
He dozed off next to the little girl.
Xiao Ci and Xiao Jingchuan and his son have been walking around the house, and Xiao Ci still doesn't know how to speak.
Xiao Jingchuan is old and has long passed the age of relying on his parents. He is also a smart and steady person. Even if he has worries, he keeps them in his heart. Although his relationship with Xiao Ci is not bad, he does not talk about everything.
the point.
Song Qinghuan knew about the first incident in the palace. As soon as he came out of the palace, Xiao Ci said that he wanted to go out with him. Apart from Song Qinghuan telling him about the incident, Xiao Jingchuan could not think of anything else.
Seeing that he had walked in such a big circle, he, who was not very reliable, had no intention of speaking, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Father, my son knows that he made a mistake, and he will never make it again in the future."
Xiao Ci was walking in front. Hearing this, he paused and turned to look at Xiao Jingchuan.
There was a bit of coldness between his eyebrows, and he said after a while: "Where did you go wrong?"
Xiao Jingchuan said truthfully: "It's inappropriate to provoke cousin Nanxu."
Empress Dowager Jiang did not want to see Xiao Ci. Xiao Jingchuan knew this since he was a child. He also knew that Xiao Ci's life was not as glorious as outsiders thought. Otherwise, Emperor Cheng Xing's brother would not have led the Five Cities Army Division.
That's an unattractive job.
Therefore, since he was a child, no matter what happened, Xiao Jingchuan would solve it by himself if he could solve it by himself, and he would find a way to solve it if he couldn't solve it by himself.
The humiliation like Zhou Nanxu's was already settled. Since he was a child, he had suffered much more grievances in the palace than he does now. If Song Qinghuan hadn't stepped in, he would have only received a few words.
, the matter calmed down.
But if the trouble got serious, his father would still have to go to Queen Mother Jiang to eat the steak.
Xiao Ci didn't know what Xiao Jingchuan was thinking, but he was amused by his sincere admission of his mistake. He raised his hand and patted Xiao Jingchuan's shoulder, and said: "If you really want to correct the original reason, I'm afraid it will be a mistake for your father and your mother."
It's a mistake, I made you look like this, and you're going to be bullied."
He laughed and felt much more relaxed. He turned around again and walked ahead with his hands behind his back: "You are the eldest son of our Prince Rui Mansion. Even if your father has no ability, he still wears the title of Prince Rui and eats outside."
If you feel wronged, you will knock out your teeth and swallow it."
There was no hint of blame in Xiao Ci's words. Xiao Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, but then he relaxed.
He followed Xiao Ci, following the silhouette of his back cast by the moonlight, and followed leisurely.
Xiao Ci said: "You have to remember that you are my son, and we are not the kind of people who want to be submissive and seek perfection. Next time someone bullies you, hit you when you need to be hit, scold when you need to be scolded, and run away if you can't be beaten or scolded."
."
"It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. We always have a way to get everything back."
What Xiao Ci said was similar to what Song Qinghuan said. Xiao Jingchuan followed behind and couldn't help but said: "My mother said the same thing."
As he said the words, he frowned again, with a hint of regret.
Xiao Ci paused and thought about the word "mother" for a moment, then remembered that Xiao Jingchuan meant Song Qinghuan.
Suddenly there was a smile hidden in his eyebrows and he responded: "She has always been a person who cannot bear any loss.
