Chapter 61 Mother is so good! I love my mother the most!
Qin Jiu was taken aback; she couldn't recall it for a moment.
Xie Jue immediately became anxious, his brows furrowing as if he was afraid Qin Jiuwei would deny it.
"You promised to take me to Jufulou today, right? Adults can't go back on their word!"
Qin Jiu smiled slightly; she remembered.
She wiped the rice grains off Xie Jue's face with a silk handkerchief and said gently, "How could your mother go back on her word? If I said I would take you, I would definitely go."
Almost instantly, Xie Jue's previously furrowed brows broke into a smile.
He said in his childish voice, "Hehe, Mother is so good! I love Mother the most!"
Qin Jiu smiled slightly. "You brat, your expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book."
She turned to Mr. Zhong and instructed, "Tell him to rest today."
But Qin Jiuwei was really exhausted last night.
After taking a nap on the soft couch, he took Xie Jue to Jufulou around noon.
Jufu Tower.
Xie Jue happily munched on the roast duck, her rosy lips glistening with oil.
Qin Jiu chuckled softly, seeing Xie Jue enjoying her meal, which also improved her own appetite.
But she still kept a close eye on Xie Jue's condition, as the child's spleen and stomach had not yet been fully regulated.
Peking duck is delicious, but it's also quite oily, so eat it in moderation.
Their private room was on the first floor, and Xie Jue kept glancing outside while eating.
They looked at the passersby and vendors outside with wide, sparkling eyes full of curiosity.
Seeing his expression, Qin Jiuwei knew that Xie Jue also wanted to go out and play.
After all, Xie Yanli was busy with official business and always left early and returned late.
How could she possibly have time to take Xie Jue out to play?
As for Lady Hou, it's a miracle she didn't mistreat Xie Jue.
Since that's the case... then let her take Xie Jue out to play.
After the meal, Xie Jue took Qin Jiuwei's hand and walked towards the carriage.
The closer he got to the carriage, the lower his little head drooped, his delicate little face scrunched up.
Oh dear, time to head back home~
Waaaaah, he really doesn't want to go back!
The manor is no fun at all... Wait, why didn't Mother take him on the carriage?!
Xie Jue looked up abruptly and realized that not only had he not boarded the carriage, but he was walking on the street!
His mother is taking him shopping!
Xie Jue's large, grape-like eyes suddenly became incredibly bright, filled with surprise.
Qin Jiuwei reached out and pinched his little face. "How are you? Are you happy?"
Xie Jue's tender face is so beautiful, you could play with it countless times and never get tired of it.
"Happy! Very happy!" Xie Jue nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice.
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, "Let's have some fun outside today. Jue-ge'er can buy whatever he wants."
Xie Jue happily raised his right hand, "Howl!"
His mother is so good to him! I love my mother so much!
The streets were bustling with people, a lively and vibrant scene.
Qin Jiuwei wore a veil, but her extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes still attracted the attention of many people.
But she was followed by two tall and burly servants, so even if someone had designs on her, they wouldn't dare to approach her.
Xie Jue followed beside Qin Jiuwei, her eyes full of curiosity. She would glance at this stall one moment and then be attracted by the trinkets over there the next, her steps as light as a bird.
Soon, the mother and son found a quiet teahouse, sat down, and took out the food and toys they had bought.
Qin Jiuwei removed the veil from her face, and Xie Jue opposite her was already eating and playing impatiently.
His eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, then he smacked his lips contentedly, "So much fun! So delicious!"
Qin Jiu smiled slightly, turned her gaze to the window, and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Did I see that right? I think I just saw Xie Jingchun hurrying past the window.
Why is this child in such a hurry?
Qin Jiuwei immediately sent the servant she had brought with her to check on things.
-
Wenyuan Pavilion.
The light of the setting sun shone through the mottled window paper, casting a dim yellow hue into the room, with dust motes floating in the light and shadow.
Xie Yanli sat at the table, his cold face appearing even more somber in the dim light.
His brows furrowed, his eyes sharp and cold like those of a night owl, his gaze fixed on the documents on the table.
The surrounding officials exchanged glances, all seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Prince Xie usually had a cold face and rarely showed any expression, which they were all used to.
But today, Prince Xie was frighteningly gloomy, having already reprimanded four officials in succession, something that had never happened before.
It's unclear what exactly happened to make Prince Xie so angry.
The clerk grinding the ink moved with extreme lightness and slowness, afraid of making even the slightest jarring sound.
Every official who finished processing today's paperwork left in a hurry.
They walked even faster than usual before their day off.
Soon, only Xie Yanli remained in the vast Wenyuan Pavilion.
The last rays of light at dusk disappeared on the horizon, and darkness gradually spread.
The eunuchs moved quietly and lit the candles in the room.
"What time is it?" Xie Yanli suddenly stopped writing and asked.
The young eunuch replied respectfully, "Thank you, sir. It is already three-quarters past 7 PM."
