The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Yan Guanqing was asking his nephew about his calligraphy lessons when he suddenly heard a clear and sweet voice.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw the small figure in a light yellow dress staggering in, facing the morning sunshine, like a little lucky boy with a warm glow all over his body.

The Yan family has few descendants, and he hasn't seen such a lovely child for many, many years. As far as he can remember, the last time someone called him brother in such a dependent and coquettish way was a long time ago.

Yan Guanqing's thoughts drifted away for a moment, and before he could react, he saw that silly nephew had already walked over quickly, bent down and naturally held Xie Yuantang's hand, frowned and asked: "Walk faster, does your feet hurt?"

Xie Yuantang smiled and shook his head: "It's only a little while. Why didn't my husband wake me up when my uncle came?"

Situ Yan still shook his head: "You are injured, and the imperial physician said you need to rest."

Xie Yuantang felt that her silly husband seemed quite stubborn.

The two people, one big and one small, walked in surprisingly harmonious steps.

Yan Guanqing sat there watching, his cold eyes softening slightly.

Perhaps, this marriage turned out to be the right thing to do.

He curled his lips and saw that Xie Yuantang was not sitting opposite him, but pulled Situ Yan to sit on the chair next to him.

"Uncle, uncle, why are you here? Were you here yesterday? I was asleep and didn't know."

"By the way, I asked someone to look for my uncle yesterday. Did my uncle see him?"

The little girl sat on the chair with her short legs crossed like a little parrot, talking non-stop.

The voice is cool and soft, but not annoying.

Yan Guanqing felt that, well...

It seems more interesting than talking to my silly nephew.

"I heard you were injured, so I came to take a look. People saw you and you did a great job."

Yan Guanqing answered all her questions in one sentence.

After that, she glanced at her nephew who was bending down to help her adjust her sleeves, and then said meaningfully, "I didn't come yesterday. After all...even the emperor couldn't see him, so I didn't dare to come and cause trouble."

"what?"

Xie Yuantang blinked his clever eyes and tilted his head to show some confusion: "Why don't I understand what my uncle said? Why can't my father see anyone? He is the emperor, who dares to stop him from seeing him?"

Yan Guanqing chuckled and said, "Then you'll have to ask the person next to you."

Xie Yuantang turned his head blankly. Situ Yan heard Yan Guanqing talking about what happened yesterday. Seeing Xie Yuantang looking at him, he frowned and said, "You are injured. My father asked me to go, but I don't want to go."

Xie Yuantang: “…”

She was so shocked that her mouth opened wide and she didn't know what to say for a long time.

Situ Yan looked at her cautiously: "Madam, are you angry?"

"No, I just feel..."

Xie Yuantang grinned and gave him a thumbs-up: "My husband is so awesome, others don't have the courage!"

Yan Guanqing shook his head and said that this fool and the little boy were just playing house every day. Look, none of them have any clue.

"Nonsense, how can this be considered a big deal?" Yan Guanqing said deliberately.

Situ Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Yan Guanqing, and then looked at Xie Yuantang: "Madam, have I caused trouble?"

"No~"

Xie Yuantang stretched out her little finger and poked his cheek: "My husband disobeyed the order for me, which is a sign of affection and righteousness. Besides, the emperor asked you to go just to ask about the situation. You can stick to your own opinion, which shows that you have your own ideas and dare to say no to the emperor, which shows that you are brave!"

Her generous praise and affirmation left Situ Yan stunned. At this moment, his peach blossom eyes, which had been a little hesitant, seemed to be filled with light and bloomed with brilliant light.

"really?"

Situ Yan's eyes were bright, like a pet dog that urgently needed affirmation from its owner, wagging its tail and looking at her expectantly.

"Of course!"

Xie Yuantang rubbed Situ Yan's handsome face with his two little paws unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "There is no one else in the world who is so affectionate, thoughtful, brave, and beautiful!"

"So my husband, don't doubt it. You are really very good. You are the best in the world!"

After saying that, he paused and added, "Of course, you are still a little worse than me. I am first and you are second!"

It's really just one of them who dares to speak and the other one who dares to believe it!

Yan Guanqing sat nearby, listening to their childish conversation. He first shook his head in amusement, then sighed silently.

Maybe they were all wrong. What Situ Yan really lacked was not intelligence, but recognition from others.

He reached out and gently patted Xie Yuantang's hair and said, "Yuantang is very good, and what she said... makes sense. Just listen to her."

Situ Yan nodded seriously: "My lady is right."

Yan Guanqing: “…” You don’t have to be so obedient.

"Uncle, are you just here to see us?" Xie Yuantang asked curiously.

She always felt that with a busy schedule like Yan Guanqing, it would be impossible for him to spare an hour to come here unless he had something to say.

Looking at the clever little girl, Yan Guanqing smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you. I came here for two reasons."

"First, I am here to give you some money."

Yan Guanqing handed the brocade box he brought to Xie Yuantang and teased with a smile.

Xie Yuantang knew that the matter of "share money" must have reached his ears, and her face turned red as she said, "Uncle, please don't laugh at us. We didn't mean to ask for it in the first place. We got entangled by the Fourth Prince that day, and that's why we got into this situation. We don't dare to ask for money from you anymore."

Yan Guanqing raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "In that case, I will take it back..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Xie Yuantang's two small hands holding the brocade box tightly with ten fingers, her big eyes like black grapes blinking, and she said coquettishly: "Uncle, Tangtang really didn't want it, Tangtang was just curious about what uncle put in it, really just curious~"

"Besides... my uncle brought everything with him. It will be so heavy to take back~"

"Little slippery man."

Yan Guanqing rolled his eyes at her unhappily: "Forget it, it was originally given to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yuantang snatched the brocade box with a "whoosh" and stuffed it into Situ Yan's arms, smiling and saying, "Thank you, uncle~"

Situ Yan imitated her by blinking, pinching his throat, and stretching out the ending sound: "Thank you, uncle~"

Yan Guanqing: “…”

I always feel that my nephew will be corrupted by this little rascal!

He sighed, took out the black wooden token in his arms and handed it to Xie Yuantang: "The second thing is to give you this token. If you have any problems in the future, just take it and come to the Yan family to find me."

"No matter how poor the Yan family is, we can still protect you two little brats."

Xie Yuantang opened his eyes wide in surprise.

This means... Yan Guanqing and the Yan family are willing to help them?

Xie Yuantang took the token, thought for a moment and asked, "Does uncle only help my husband, or will uncle also help Tangtang if she has any problems?"

Yan Guanqing didn't expect her to ask this question, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "See what you want."

Xie Yuantang hesitated again and again, but he couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time: "Does my uncle know the abbot of Huajue Temple?"

Yan Guanqing was slightly startled.

Situ Yan said anxiously: "My wife's mother is there, uncle will help her."

"Thank you, Madam?"

Yan Guanqing frowned slightly. He and Xie Zhaoqing were officials in the same court, and he had heard something about the Xie family's affairs.

Especially Leng Yunwan is not just Xie Zhaoqing’s wife.

He glanced at Xie Yuantang and said, "The abbot of Huajue Temple is not a bad person. You can rest assured for the time being. As for your mother..."

After a pause, he considered and spoke: "It depends on what you plan to do. Or, this is an adult matter after all. You have to ask her what she plans to do. If she really has a plan, she may not need you to ask me for help."

Xie Yuantang was slightly stunned.
