Chapter 648 - 648: Just Treat This Place As Your Home
They had also heard from Lil’ Han this morning at the school that their grandfather liked them very much and had been looking forward to them coming to the prince regent’s residence to celebrate the new year. They naturally had to pay their respects to the old prince as a form of respect.
“Of course you guys should come together! The Old Madam is already old, and the old prince has specially instructed that if you are tired, you can go and rest first,” Gong Lingyu said with a smile.
Madam Qi had woken up early in the morning and was feeling sleepy. She drooped her head and groaned like an old child, obviously wanting to rest.
Helpless, Mama Sheng turned to Gu Qingxue. “Then I’ll bring the Old Madam to rest first. Young Misses, please help yourself.”
Gu Qingxue agreed and followed Gong Lingyu with her three little ones. The group walked toward the main gate of the prince regent’s residence.
Gu Qingxue had just reached the door when she suddenly felt a venomous gaze staring at her from not too far away.
She immediately stopped in her tracks and looked behind her. Gu Qingxue scanned the area but could not find anything. She could not help but frown in confusion.
“Sister Gu, why aren’t you walking?” Gong Lingyu followed Gu Qingxue’s gaze and looked over, but she also didn’t see anything. Sister Gu, What are you looking at? ”
Gu Qingxue retracted her gaze and shook her head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go in.”
Gong Lingyu did not think much of it, and the few of them chatted and laughed along the way to the courtyard where the old prince lived.
The servant opened the curtain and invited them into the hall. When they entered, a faint plum blossom fragrance accompanied by a warm breath hit their faces. The old prince in the room was in a good mood, and he was talking and laughing with Rong Han who was sitting in his arms.
Rong Han raised her head and saw Gu Qingxue and the others. She jumped out of the old prince’s arms happily and ran straight to the three little ones.”You guys are finally here. I was waiting for you guys to play with me.”
Gu Qingxue looked at the old man sitting on the main seat. He had a kind expression on his face. Even though he was over seventy years old, he was still full of energy. His eyes were especially bright, and they constantly emitted a wise light. Gu Qingxue guessed that the old man in front of her was not simple.
In the past, the old prince had also been invincible on the battlefield. Now that he was advanced in age, the sharpness around him had decreased by a lot, but no one dared to underestimate him.
Gu Qingxue followed the rules and politely greeted the elder. “I, Gu Qingxue, pay my respects to the old prince. I’ll have to trouble the old prince for a few days.”
The old prince was also very enthusiastic, his face smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum. “Hey, Miss Gu, you’re being too distant. Since you’re here for the new year, just treat this as your home. Don’t feel restrained.”
“Many thanks, Your Highness. Lil’ Lin, Dumby, Lingbao, come over and say hello to His Highness.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she took the three little ones ‘hands.
The three little ones had heard from Rong Han that the old prince was a person who liked children very much. When they saw the old prince’s kind face, they could not help but have a good impression of him. They bowed at the same time and said, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
The old prince was even happier when he saw the three children. He smiled widely and kept nodding his head. “Good, that’s really good. I see that these three children are in high spirits. One look and I can tell that they are blessed and good children. Han’er, you should bring your three good friends over to our house more often in the future.’
“Mmhm!” After Rong Han finished, he did not forget to lower his voice and said to the three of them, “How is it? What I told you was right, my great-grandfather really likes children!”
