Chapter 344 Who is he?
Old Lady Yang and the little princess were evenly matched. After a fierce competition, they each won several games, which made them overjoyed. At the same time, they also felt that their chess skills had improved significantly.
At this moment, the butler came hurriedly to report: "Master, dinner is ready. Do you want to eat now or wait a while?"
The butler had been waiting outside the door. He heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the house. It turned out that the old lady was having a great time with the prince and princess.
My grandfather was sitting quietly beside me, flipping through a book, but it seemed that the book had not been turned too many pages. Instead, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised by several angles.
After hearing this, Qi Xingyun gently put down the book in his hand, looked up at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and said, "It's really getting late, so let's go eat first."
When the people who were playing chess intently heard this, they looked up as if awakened from a dream. They were surprised to find that it had already become very late without them noticing.
The little princess blinked her big watery eyes, looked at Qi Xingyun expectantly, and asked in a tender voice: "Uncle, can I stay at your house tonight?"
After saying that, she did not forget to shake Qi Xingyun's sleeves, looking cute and coquettish.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xingyun first glanced at the little princess, then turned his gaze to the eldest prince beside him, only to see that the eldest prince's eyes were also shining with anticipation.
Seeing this, Qi Xingyun smiled slightly, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I have just sent someone to send a letter to my family to inform them of this matter. You can stay here tonight with peace of mind."
When the little princess heard that the royal uncle agreed to let them stay overnight, she was so happy that she wanted to jump up, but when she thought of the rules she had learned, she held back.
She held Xiao Cao'er's hand with one hand and Old Lady Yang's hand with the other and said, "Aunt Xiao Cao'er, can I sleep with you tonight?"
"If you don't mind my bad sleeping posture, you can sleep with me." Xiaocaoer said with a smile.
Only now did Old Lady Yang remember to ask them why they called her beloved grandson "Auntie".
"Why do you call her aunt?"
"Not aunt? Then what should I call her?" the little princess asked in confusion.
Old Lady Yang also looked confused and said, "I don't know either. Shouldn't I call her sister?"
"Just call her aunt. Calling her sister isn't quite right," said the eldest prince.
"Forget it, you kids can call yourselves whatever you want." Old Mrs. Yang waved her hand.
Xiao Cao'er stroked her forehead and shook it involuntarily: "Grandma, do you know who these two children are? If you knew, you probably wouldn't call them whatever you want."
The butler who had been standing aside and listening all the way was extremely shocked.
I had only heard before that my master had a good relationship with the Yang family, but I didn't expect that the eldest prince and the princess were so close to the girls from the Yang family.
After dinner, everyone sat in the flower hall and chatted. The eldest prince and the little princess were playing checkers again.
"Brother Emperor, let's stay with our great uncle for a few more days, otherwise there will be no checkers to play when we return to the palace," suggested the little princess.
"No, my father and mother won't agree." said the eldest prince.
"Let the great uncle tell the emperor. The emperor listens to the great uncle the most."
"Then go and talk to the Emperor's great uncle." The eldest queen obviously also wanted to play outside for two more days before returning to the palace.
After hearing what her brother said, the little princess really asked Qi Xingyun, "Uncle, can we stay in your house for a few more days before returning to the palace?"
"Why do you want to live here?" Qi Xingyun asked after taking a sip of tea.
"I want to play chess, and I want to play with Aunt Xiaocaoer." The little princess said with sparkling eyes.
Only now did Old Lady Yang hear clearly what the child called Qi Xingyun. She had heard it several times before but couldn't hear it clearly, but now she finally heard it clearly: Imperial Uncle.
She leaned close to Xiao Cao'er's ear and whispered, "My dear grandson, why did they call you Brother Xingyun?"
"It seems that they call Brother Xingyun the emperor's great uncle." Xiaocaoer also answered in a low voice.
"Well, well, then who is your brother Xingyun?" Old Mrs. Yang asked suspiciously, her voice trembling slightly, and it was obvious that her heart was full of doubts and uncertainties.
Who is Qi Xingyun? This question lingered in Old Lady Yang's mind like a fog.
At this moment, Xiao Cao raised her head, and her eyes happened to meet Qi Xingyun's. For a moment, it seemed as if an invisible electric current passed between them. The two people's eyes met, as if a silent communication was unfolding in the air.
Xiao Caoer: Brother Xingyun, grandma asked who you are?
Qi Xingyun: Sister Xiaocaoer, whoever you say I am, that’s who I am.
Xiao Cao'er: Humph, I won’t tell you, you tell grandma yourself!
Qi Xingyun: Oh, it’s better for you to speak for me. Grandma trusts you the most.
Old Lady Yang saw that Xiaocao'er hadn't replied to her for such a long time, so she asked again: "Xiaocao'er, don't you know either?"
"Grandma Yang, I know." the little princess said loudly.
