The Fifth Wangye brought his son outside the Palace of Heavenly Purity to ask for an audience. He had already entered the palace once yesterday, but the Emperor did not see him. He felt that the Emperor must be blaming him for not teaching his son well, so he went to the palace again today to ask the Emperor for forgiveness. Otherwise, he would not be able to ask for the title of Crown Prince in the future.
Ming Xi brought Yan Xiaoliu out of the main hall and immediately saw the Fifth Wangye standing at the bottom of the steps and Mo Lianbang beside him.
He had never seen the Fifth Wangye, but he had seen Mo Lianbang two days ago. Although he did not have a deep impression of him, he could still recognize him.
"Fifth Wangye." Ming Xi cupped his hands and bowed. "Father is busy, so he asked me to see you."
The Fifth Wangye looked down at Ming Xi. This was the first time he had seen Mo Rongzhan's son. He really looked like his father, but … What did this mean? Asking a brat to see him? "Hehe, so you're Mingxi. Fifth Uncle heard that there was some misunderstanding between you and Bongge at the hunting ground. You're all cousins, not outsiders. You can't make things difficult for such a small matter, so I specially brought Bongge to the palace to apologize to you."
Mo Lianbang was also spoiled since he was young. At home, he was more favored than his younger brother. He already regarded himself as the Crown Prince of the Wangfu. Originally, no one dared to offend him in the capital, but suddenly, a prince with a more noble status than him appeared. Not only did he beat him up, he was also beaten by his father when he returned home. Now, he had to go to the palace to apologize. He was very unhappy, but if he did not come, he would definitely be beaten again when he returned home.
He gave Ming Xi a dissatisfied look and buried his head even lower.
"No need, I didn't take it to heart." Ming Xi said. He really didn't take it to heart. There was no need to take someone like Mo Lianbang, who only knew how to put on airs.
Mo Lianbang felt the disregard and coldness from Ming Xi's tone. He raised his head and looked at Ming Xi with anger in his eyes.
The Fifth Lord patted his head hard and said to Ming Xi with a smile, "Your Highness is really magnanimous. No matter what, Brother Bang is still a brother to you. You should get along well with him in the future. We are a family."
"Father, this is the brat who hit me. Kill him." When Mo Lianbang saw Yan Xiaoliu standing behind Ming Xi, he thought that Yan Xiaoliu was just an ordinary servant. He immediately showed off his might, wanting to vent his anger from the day he was beaten up by Yan Xiaoliu.
The Fifth Duke looked at Yan Xiaoliu, weighing his status in his heart. He should only be Mingxi's little attendant, but he actually dared to hit his son. On account that he was the Royal Uncle, this little nephew shouldn't mind handing over this little attendant, right?
"I was the one who told him to compete with you. You lost." Ming Xi's black eyes calmly looked at Mo Lianbang.
"Hehe, although it's a martial arts competition, you're too heavy-handed," Lord Five said indifferently.
Ming Xi understood the meaning of these words. He was complaining that Yan Xiaoliu had hit Mo Lianbang too hard and wanted him to teach Yan Xiaoliu a lesson. He revealed a smile, "Fifth Uncle, you don't understand Xiaoliu. This is already Xiaoliu being merciful. If he had really fought seriously, Brother Bang wouldn't be standing here now."
How could the Fifth Wangye not hear that Ming Xi was protecting his attendant? He smiled a little reluctantly, "How old is this child to be so powerful? Isn't he a little too violent?"
Ming Xi continued to smile innocently, "Royal Father said that Xiaoliu is a martial arts prodigy, so he personally taught Xiaoliu martial arts."
"…" The Fifth Wangye's eyes widened as he looked at Ming Xi's innocent and childish smile. What? The Emperor personally taught Yan Xiaoliu martial arts?
"Isn't he just a servant?" Mo Lianbang shouted hatefully.
Ming Xi glanced at Mo Lianbang, "Xiaoliu is not a servant, and you are not a master."
"If His Highness says he isn't, then he isn't." The Fifth Wangye covered his son's mouth. He still hoped that his son could become Ming Xi's study partner in the future. That way, it might be easier to ask for the title of heir.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going back. Take care, Fifth Wangye," Ming Xi said.
The Fifth Wangye smiled awkwardly and could only take his son out of the palace.
Ming Xi returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and saw that his royal father was still at his previous position, reading the notes he had written. He walked over, "Royal Father."
"You sent Fifth Wangye away?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a smile, "Why do you look unhappy?"
"I don't like Fifth Wangye's Brother Bang," Ming Xi said simply and straightforwardly, "If he wants to enter the palace to be a study partner, Royal Father shouldn't choose him."
Mo Rongzhan chuckled and looked at his son, who was still like a child, "How do you know that Brother Bang wants to enter the palace to be a study partner?"
"Fifth Wangye doesn't really want to enter the palace to ask for forgiveness. He just wants me to punish Yan Xiaoliu." Ming Xi's immature face showed a rare look of unhappiness. "Just now, outside, he was talking to me with a forced smile. He was afraid that Brother Bang would offend me. He must have something to ask of me."
Apart from wanting Brother Bang to be his study partner, Ming Xi couldn't think of any reason for Fifth Wangye to do so.
Mo Rongzhan was surprised by Ming Xi's observation, but he was more happy. He always knew that Ming Xi was very smart, but it seemed that Ming Xi could surprise him every time. This son simply had the advantages of him and Ye Zhen in one body. How could he not be happy as a father?
"Well, since Royal Father promised you, he will naturally let you choose your study partner." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, "Don't read today. You have been reading for four hours. Go with Yan Xiaoliu to play with Ming Yu."
Ming Xi thought for a moment and also felt that he could rest today.
When they arrived at the Yong Shou Palace, they heard a wolf howl coming from inside. Ming Xi froze for a moment and exchanged a look with Yan Xiaoliu. The two quickened their pace and walked into the palace. They saw Ming Yu pouncing on a snow-white … white wolf, her laughter as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell.
"This is … a wolf?" Yan Xiaoliu was shocked. He clenched his fists, for fear that the white wolf would hurt Ming Yu.
"Brother, Xiaoliu, you are here. This is Xiao Qi." Ming Yu saw Ming Xi and called out loudly.
Ye Zhen was lying on the soft couch by the window, looking at the medical shop's account books for the past few years. When she saw her son coming back, she waved to Ming Xi. "Come here."
"Mother, why is there a white wolf here?" Ming Xi came to Ye Zhen's side, his eyes still vigilantly watching the big white wolf in the courtyard.
This white wolf is too big …
"That's the white wolf I used to keep by my side. In the past few years when I was not in the palace, it was released into the mountains. Today, I don't know why it returned to the hunting ground. Ming Yu liked it as soon as she saw it and has been playing outside for most of the day." Ye Zhen said with a smile. Speaking of which, Xiao Qi had been by her side for almost ten years. Obviously, it could dominate the mountains, but it always liked to stay by her side.
Ming Xi glanced at Xiao Qi outside and felt that he would not like it as much as Ming Yu.
