Ming Xi woke up early in the morning and was practicing with Yan Xiaoliu in the courtyard. Although Ye Chunnan did not come to the palace to teach them because of the new year, they still had to practice every day. No matter how reluctant Ming Xi was to leave his bed, he had to get up.
"Xiaoliu, your martial arts are better than before." Seeing Yan Xiaoliu compete with the guard, Ming Xi immediately discovered that Yan Xiaoliu's martial arts had improved. Previously, he could only exchange a hundred moves with the guard, but today, he could almost fight to a draw with the guard.
This guard was picked by his imperial father from the hidden guards and his martial arts were not weak.
Yan Xiaoliu was only nine years old. To be able to fight to a draw with him, it was definitely not an ordinary talent.
"Your Highness will be at my level in a few years." In the past, he also felt that he was a very talented person, until he met Ming Xi. This was the smartest child he had ever seen.
Even though he was only a child, he still felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's not practice for too long today. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, let's rest for a few days. After the new year, imperial father will take us to go hunting." Ming Xi took a hot handkerchief from the eunuch and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Alright." Yan Xiaoliu wiped the sweat off his face. He was not in a hurry to become invincible. He wanted to be a down-to-earth man and take revenge for his family in the future. This was what he wanted.
Ming Xi handed the handkerchief to the eunuch and looked down at his hands. He didn't know why, but he felt that there was a strong power in his body, but he couldn't use it, as if it was blocked by something.
"Big brother, Xiaoliu."
The two were planning to go back when they heard Ming Yu's clear and tender voice.
Yan Xiaoliu turned his head and saw Ming Yu who was being led by the emperor. His eyes flashed with a trace of a smile, but his overly beautiful face still had an indifferent expression.
"Imperial father." Ming Xi stepped forward and bowed. He looked at his younger sister who was a bit shorter than him, "You woke up so early today?"
Ming Yu was embarrassed to say that she wet the bed. She looked up at Mo Rongzhan. On the road, imperial father had promised not to tell anyone about this.
"Zhen went to find Ming Yu." Mo Rongzhan simply explained why Ming Yu woke up early. He asked Ming Xi in a low voice, "What do you plan to do today?"
Ming Xi said, "Imperial Father, I want to go to Maternal Grandmother's house to take a look."
Mo Rongzhan did not expect that Ming Xi would have such a plan. He thought that Ming Xi wanted to leave the palace to play somewhere else.
"Okay, then go. Don't return to the palace too late." Since the children wanted to visit their grandfather, Mo Rongzhan naturally had no reason to follow them.
"Father, I want to go too. I want to find Sister Miaomiao." Ming Yu tugged at Mo Rongzhan's sleeve.
Mo Rongzhan looked at Yan Xiaoliu. "I'll leave Mingyu to you. Take good care of her."
Ming Yu immediately threw herself into Yan Xiaoliu's arms, "Xiaoliu, we can leave the palace to play."
"Imperial Father, where's Imperial Mother?" Ming Xi asked curiously. Didn't Mother say that she was going to the Lu Family with them yesterday?
"Big Brother, Mother isn't feeling well. She's still resting." Ming Yu rushed to answer.
Mo Rongzhan coughed lightly, "Your mother is tired. When you return, she will accompany you for the evening meal."
Hearing this, Ming Xi relaxed, "Imperial Father, then we'll pack up and leave the palace."
"En." Looking at the two children, Mo Rongzhan felt that he should return to Yong Shou Palace to accompany his wife.
Mo Rongzhan had Shen Yi and Xue Lin protect the children as they left the palace. He could not let anything happen to them.
"Your Majesty, Lu Tingzhi and his mother returned to the capital yesterday. They are currently staying with the Lu Family." Shen Yi reminded Mo Rongzhan in a low voice. There were still people in the Lu Family who did not know their place.
"Keep a close eye on them." Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
Although he did not know much about Lu Tingzhi, he had investigated him in the State of Qi. This person seemed to be talented but not arrogant. Moreover, he had a different personality from Lu Lingzhi. No matter what his purpose in returning to the capital this time was, he still had to keep a close eye on him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
… …
… …
Ming Yu leaned against Yan Xiaoliu as she sat on the couch. Her calves swayed along with the movement of the carriage. Her small mouth was also humming a little tune that no one could understand.
"Mingyu, who taught you to sing these songs?" Ming Xi asked with a frown. The study partner that Ming Yu had chosen had not yet entered the palace. She would only enter after the new year to accompany her to class. Could she have learned these songs from a palace maid?
"When I was going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, I heard someone sing it on the way." Ming Yu said. She had only heard it a few times and could not remember what they were singing.
Ming Xi furrowed his brows, keeping this matter in mind.
"Don't sing this kind of song in the future." Yan Xiaoliu was a few years older than Ming Xi and had grown up outside the palace. He could tell that this was a love song and was not suitable for a little girl to sing all day.
"Why?" Ming Yu asked curiously.
Yan Xiaoliu thought for a while. "It doesn't sound good."
Ming Yu's expression immediately froze. She looked at Yan Xiaoliu with a wronged expression and gave a heavy snort. She immediately sat down next to Ming Xi. She did not want to pay attention to Yan Xiaoliu anymore. He actually dared to say that her voice was bad. She did not want to pay attention to him anymore!
"… …" Yan Xiaoliu blinked his eyes. He did not know why Ming Yu was angry.
"Xiaoliu said that the song is not good, not that you are not good at singing." Ming Xi explained for Yan Xiaoliu.
Ming Yu snorted and turned her face to the side. Ignoring him meant ignoring him.
Yan Xiaoliu was extremely embarrassed and did not know how to coax the little girl back.
Unknowingly, the carriage had arrived at the Lu family's house. Lu Shiming had long known that his two grandsons would come and waited outside the gate with Lu Xiangzhi.
"Grandfather, Little Uncle." Ming Yu opened the curtain and saw Lu Shiming and his son. Her hazy mood was swept away and she called out happily.
Ming Xi and Yan Xiaoliu got out of the carriage one after another.
"Oh, Ming Yu is getting more and more beautiful!" Lu Xiangzhi picked up Ming Yu. "Little Uncle will take you to eat, drink and play today, okay?"
"Good!" Ming Yu responded loudly.
Lu Xiangzhi came back two days ago. As soon as he came back, he went to the palace to see Ye Zhen and his two nephews. Because he was younger than Ye Chunnan, Ming Yu called him Little Uncle.
Yan Xiaoliu looked eagerly at Ming Yu, who had been ignoring him all the way. Seeing her smile happily, he was relieved in his heart. He still did not understand how he had made her so angry.
"Where do you want to take Ming Yu?" Lu Xiangzhi kept a straight face. "Don't lead them astray."
"Father, how could I lead my two nephews astray?" Lu Xiangzhi walked inside with Ming Yu in his arms. "Grandmother doesn't know that you are coming today. When she sees you later, she will be very happy."
Ming Xi, who was held by Lu Shiming, said with a smile, "Grandfather, I also want to go out with Little Uncle."
"Well, Little Uncle will take you out. The New Year is coming and the streets are lively. When the Lantern Festival comes, it will be more beautiful with lanterns and streamers everywhere." Lu Xiangzhi smiled.
