When Wan Lianxing smiled, Zhong Siyu and Cheng Youning looked at him at the same time, not understanding why he was laughing at such a serious statement.

"Grandpa, grandson...isn't what you said wrong?"

"Yes, grandson, you said it very well!"

"Then...what are you laughing at, grandpa?" Cheng Youning's little head was spinning rapidly, and he went over what he had just said twice in his mind. There was nothing wrong!

Not only Cheng Youning was puzzled, but Zhong Siyu also felt quite baffled.

"Grandson, you are Huang Chenming's disciple, but you sound more like Ge Dongqing's student."

Cheng Youning's face turned green as if he had eaten a fly, "How could my grandson be Grandpa Ge's student!"

Seeing Cheng Youning's disgusted look, Wan Lianxing couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "What's wrong with your Grandpa Ge? Your Grandpa Ge is extremely talented and well-read. Your Grandpa Ge speaks eloquently and wittily. If you can become your Grandpa Ge's student, it will be your blessing."

"No, I won't take anyone as my master except my Grandpa Ge." Cheng Youning shook his head with a look of rejection, as if Ge Dongqing was a plague.

"Look at you, kid. You don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. I want your Grandpa Ge to teach you some poetry and songs, but your Grandpa Ge won't let me!"

Wan Lianxing had been wanting to give Cheng Youning a husband recently, Ge Dongqing, but when he mentioned this to Ge Dongqing, Ge Dongqing looked embarrassed, and if he said one more word, Ge Dongqing would burst into tears on the spot. He knew that Ge Dongqing and Cheng Youning did not get along and looked down on each other, so he did not want to embarrass Ge Dongqing, so the matter was shelved.

"He knows what's going on!"

"Youning, this is where you're wrong. Your Grandpa Ge's eloquence should be the best among all beggars!"

"Come on, he stumbles when he sees me speaking, how can he be eloquent? If he weren't my grandfather's sworn brother, I wouldn't forgive him."

Wan Lianxing pretended to be angry when he heard this, "You are such a disrespectful kid. I wanted you to learn poetry from your grandfather Ge, but look at how naughty you are. You really deserve to be beaten."

"Little Grandfather, please spare my grandson. It is impossible for me to learn poetry from Grandpa Ge. He can't teach me anything good."

"You underestimate your grandfather Ge's talent!"

"Hahaha!" Cheng Youning couldn't help but burst into laughter. "He has some talent, but he doesn't use it properly. Look at him talking about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness all day long, but in fact he is full of thieves and prostitutes. If you don't give him an official title, he will be no different from a gangster."

"Nonsense! I know your grandfather Ge's character best! He is eloquent, knowledgeable, talented, and strategic!"

"Grandpa, I think you have been deceived by his sweet words. He is obsessed with women and is not a serious person."

"You kid, you really deserve to be beaten!" Wan Lianxing pretended to hit Cheng Youning with the fan in his hand.

Cheng Youning quickly begged for mercy: "Little Grandpa, calm down. I am not talking nonsense. Everyone knows about my Grandpa Ge's romantic affairs. My little grandma who has been in the palace for a long time also knows about it. If you don't believe me, ask my little grandma!"

Wan Lianxing's fan finally hit Cheng Youning, "I'm talking about your Grandpa Ge. What are you talking about your little grandmother? Your little grandmother has been in the palace for a long time and doesn't know anything."

Zhong Siyu quietly turned her head back and looked at the table in the car. She clenched her teeth and resolutely refused to participate in the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren. As soon as she left Lingchen Temple, the emperor reconciled with her when she came back. She would not cause trouble for Wan Lianxing again.

The grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at Prince Pang's palace.

After getting off the carriage, Wan Lianxing covered his face with a fan and took bigger steps than usual. Although his trip was small, he was still recognized at the first sight.

An old woman who came to the palace to sit down saw Wan Lianxing as soon as she entered the palace, and then ran all the way to chase Wan Lianxing's procession, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wait for me... Ouch..."

Wan Lianxing quickly turned around and had to step back a few steps to help the man up. "Why are you running so fast? Are you hurt?"

The old woman touched her hips, half of her face twitched in pain. Even so, she said, "It's okay, Your Majesty, everyone is waiting to see you. Why did you come just now? You've kept us all waiting!"

Wan Lianxing wanted to say that he didn't dare to come because he was afraid of these people.

Wan Lianxing looked around and said something else, "You rarely have a day off, and you still have to come here to make shoes. Isn't it very tiring?"

"It's not hard to make shoes for soldiers at the border. It's hard to fight in wars. I heard that shoes are especially worn out in wars, so everyone worked overtime to figure out how to make more shoes."

"I thank you on behalf of the soldiers at the border."

"Why thank you? It's my duty. Without them guarding the border, we can live in peace!"

Wan Lianxing was very pleased to hear such words from an ordinary lady. "At noon, I will ask the kitchen of Prince Pang's mansion to prepare extra meals for you."

"There's no need for more food. I've already eaten enough... Your Majesty, if it's convenient..."

"When you talk to me, just speak directly. Why are you hesitating? Tell me, what happened?"

"Nothing happened. I just hope the emperor can come here more often in the future. Everyone is looking forward to the emperor's visit every day."

Wan Lianxing laughed: "If I don't come, you will stop making shoes!"

"How is that possible? The shoes must be made."

At this time, Shang Xi, who heard that Wan Lianxing had arrived, was jogging over to greet him.

"Uncle, there were magpies flying around the door today, so I knew that my uncle was coming to visit!"

"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days. The Crown Prince's wife is so sweet."

"I'm counting the days until you come!"

"How is your father?"

"I drank more than half a bowl of minced meat porridge I made this morning, and now Cheng Feng has pushed me to the back garden to get some fresh air!"

Shang Xi ran over and grabbed Zhong Siyu, "You're finally here. My mother keeps talking about you, and we're all tired of hearing about it."

"I wanted to come see my brother and sister-in-law when I came back from Lingchen Temple yesterday, but the heavy rain stopped me."

At this time, the old woman who followed Wan Lianxing stared at Zhong Siyu and said, "Oh, this is the queen who prayed for the soldiers!"

Zhong Siyu smiled and nodded.

The old woman kowtowed to Zhong Siyu and said, "Long live the queen!"

Zhong Siyu stepped forward and helped the man up: "No need to be polite!"

This was the first time the old woman saw Zhong Siyu, and she was simply stunned by her appearance. "The queen looks like she came out of a painting, so pretty, with a waist so thin that one hand can hold it, and skin as tender as a peeled egg. She is like a fairy, right? Your Majesty is so lucky!"

"It is my great fortune to be favored by the emperor." Zhong Siyu's face turned red due to the compliments.

The old woman's eyes moved from Zhong Siyu to Wan Lianxing, and then back to Zhong Siyu. Finally, she praised him repeatedly, "The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. They are a match made in heaven."
