New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

The majestic voice of the Emperor's father rang in his ears, causing Yongqi's heart to skip a beat. He quickly stood up, with rice grains hanging from his chubby little face. He raised his head to look at the Emperor's father and mother who were looking at him gently.

He subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth with his hands, but found that his hands were covered with rice grains, and he was embarrassed. But soon, he adjusted his mood and hurriedly spoke carefully, "Replying to the Emperor, Yongji's schoolwork is not bad, and he has been practicing calligraphy seriously recently."

Seeing his son's funny and cute appearance with rice grains hanging on his lips, the emperor couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, gently reaching out to wipe the rice grains off his face, "You, you almost bury your head in the bowl while eating, and there are so many dishes on the table, why do you only eat rice and not vegetables?" As he said, he picked up a piece of fish and put it in Yongji's bowl, and said gently: "Come, try this fish, it's very fresh."

Yongqi nodded gratefully, picked up his chopsticks, and began to slowly enjoy the food. The queen watched this scene with a smile, her eyes full of maternal love and happiness. She whispered to the emperor: "Yongqi has indeed made a lot of progress recently. He practices calligraphy very seriously after school every day, and his big characters have also improved a lot."

The emperor nodded and looked at Yongji with a heart full of satisfaction. "Not bad, not bad. Learning requires perseverance and you can't give up easily. Practice more and you will definitely get good rewards. However, you are still young now. You should study hard when you should study and play well when you should play. You can learn better by combining work and rest, understand?"

Yongqi listened to the gentle and loving voice of his father, and felt warm in his heart, and his eyes were a little moist. He lowered his head slightly, looking at the dishes in the bowl that were all his favorites, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He knew very well that the emperor had many children, and he was not the most favored one. But at this moment, he felt extremely satisfied to feel the love and care of the emperor.

"Yes, I'll keep it in mind." He nodded vigorously, with a bright smile on his face. For him, this meal was not just a delicious meal, but also a rare warm experience.

The queen listened and watched from the side, her eyes full of smiles.

After dinner, Yongqi returned to his room to rest, while the emperor stayed in Jingren Palace.

After a while of making love, the two of them lay on the bed together, talking about Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei and the others planning to leave the palace.

"Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei have grown up, and it's time for them to go out and gain some experience. I decided to let them quietly leave the palace and let Yongqi, Erkang Ertai, and Benjamin protect them. They will go out together to see the world."

The emperor hugged the queen with skin as white as cream, playing with her black hair with his right hand from time to time, and spoke with a sigh.

The empress, who was leaning against the emperor's arms and feeling a little sore and weak from all the torment, opened her eyes wide when she heard the words. She looked at the emperor in disbelief, "Your Majesty, are you serious? If two princesses and four young men leave the palace, won't it be easy for people to gossip about us?"

The emperor gently stroked the queen's hair and smiled, "Of course I am serious. They have stayed in the palace for too long. It's time for them to go out and see the outside world. As for those gossips, let them go. We don't need to care about them."

The queen frowned and said worriedly, "But, isn't this too risky? What if something goes wrong?"

The emperor patted the queen's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything. They will have special protection, and nothing will happen. Moreover, this trip out of the palace is also a good opportunity for them to gain experience and help them grow better."

The queen was still a little worried, but seeing that the emperor was so determined, she had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since the emperor has made up his mind, then I will not say anything more. I just hope that they can return safely."

The emperor smiled and put his arm around the queen's shoulders: "I believe they will return safely. They are all smart children and will not easily cause trouble."

The queen sighed, leaned in the emperor's arms, and prayed silently in her heart that everything would go well for them.

"As for what you said about whether they will be gossiped about, I think there is no need to worry about it at all. As long as I am here, no matter how much others speculate and doubt, they dare not rashly inquire about the news of the princesses. Because I am the emperor, who dares to challenge my authority easily? Even if someone dares to offend, I will definitely punish them severely!" said the emperor confidently.

"Moreover, Xiaoyanzi is the successor of the Valley of Divine Doctors, so it is only natural for her to go back to the Valley of Divine Doctors. And as Ziwei is Xiaoyanzi's good sister, it is even more natural for her to go to the Valley of Divine Doctors with her. In this way, even if the news that Xiaoyanzi and the others have left the palace is known to others, it will not cause too much waves. After all, this is human nature." Qianlong continued to explain.

"In addition, as an elder brother, Yongqi naturally has to accompany and protect his two sisters. And as bodyguards, Erkang and Ertai are also responsible for protecting the safety of the princesses. Benjamin can go to the folks to paint as a painter, and accidentally meet the princesses and others who are going to the Divine Doctor Valley, and then go together. This arrangement is both reasonable and natural. Who can say anything? Hahahaha, I am so smart!" Qianlong laughed proudly.
