Chapter 425
The two children were very happy to hear King Zhao's words.
Ruirui let go of the hem of King Zhao's clothes and turned her head without hesitation.
He ran back to the little princess with his short legs, held her hand and smiled happily: "Sister, the matter is resolved, are you happy?"
Looking at the little kid in front of her who was a whole head shorter than her, Gu Zhiyao pursed her lips, but the corners of her mouth kept rising: "Happy!"
There was warmth in her eyes, but this time it was not because of sadness. Her wrinkled heart was smoothed out.
"As long as my sister is happy, let's go eat some watermelons. The watermelons I planted are ripe and very sweet. I planted them myself!"
Ruirui said it as if he was presenting a treasure, and then without waiting for King Zhao to comment, he warmly invited the other party.
"Father, please come and eat with us!"
King Zhao snorted: "You guys go eat."
His eyes sparkled with joy: "I wanted to bring it here for my father to eat, but the watermelon is so big and heavy that I can't even carry it. So I had to ask my father to come over in person."
"Father, let's go together!"
Seeing that her fourth brother actually dared to invite her father, the little princess couldn't help but feel nervous.
What if my father gets angry?
"Rui Rui, Father has a lot of things to do. We have already delayed Father for a long time. Please do not disturb Father anymore."
Ruirui nodded obediently: "Sister is right, but father has helped us so much, we should thank him together!"
His mother taught him that if someone helps him, he should not do so without even giving them a thank you. Otherwise, who would help him again?
This was true. The little princess also knew that she had to express her gratitude, but she began to hesitate.
So the two of them looked at King Zhao together.
The two children, one big and one small, looked at King Zhao at the same time.
King Zhao stood up and said, "Let's go!"
Ruirui immediately became happy: "That's great!"
When he came to the two children, King Zhao stopped and looked down at his daughter: "If you have any problems in the future, Yaoyao can come directly to the front yard to find your father. You don't need to worry about anything else."
The little princess immediately understood what her father meant.
It's not that her father ignored her.
She bowed solemnly: "Thank you, father."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Ruirui blinked his big eyes, and his two little hands were entangled in front of him. He was ready to hear such a sentence.
Who knew that after waiting for a while, Ruirui couldn't believe it: "Gone?"
What about what you said to him?
King Zhao glanced at the little kid nonchalantly and said, "What do you want? Even if I didn't ask you to come, you would have come here quite often."
This child is very outgoing by nature. If we indulge him any more, won’t he become very angry?
The little princess looked at her brother worriedly, wanting to explain for him: "Father, my brother is still young and ignorant."
Ruirui was not at all affected by her father's dislike, and even nodded her head in agreement: "I told you, my father has been very happy to welcome me here."
Seeing him like this, King Zhao ignored him and simply turned around and walked out: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat watermelon?"
Ruirui quickly took the little princess's hand and followed.
She first placed her sister on King Zhao's left hand side, then she trotted around to the right hand side and took King Zhao's finger in a familiar manner.
King Zhao's index finger was wrapped by a soft little thing. He paused but did not shake it off.
This made the other party entangled, and there were chattering sounds all the way.
"Father, it's so tiring to walk with you!"
"Father, you are so busy every day, don't you get bored?"
"Father, I see my elder brother has a master to teach him. He said he studies martial arts every day. When can I start learning?"
"Father, when you go to deal with today's matter, can you be um... careful? I can't describe it, just don't let the princess blame my sister."
After hearing this, the little princess, who had unknowingly taken half a step back, stopped.
He actually thought of this?
Looking at her brother who was looking up at his father seriously, intending to discuss something, the little princess felt mixed emotions.
He is so small...
King Zhao suddenly stopped and stroked the top of the little kid's head: "You are the only one who would worry about this? This kind of thing will never happen."
Then he looked at his daughter and asked, "Why did you stop?"
The adult and two children soon arrived at the Osmanthus Courtyard.
At this time, Ruirui ran to the front and entered the yard first: "Mom, is my mother here?"
The maid replied: "The master is out."
Ruirui didn't care and ran to the edge of the vegetable garden to look at the big round watermelons.
After the two people behind came in, Ruirui stood at the edge of the field with her small body, pointing skillfully: "These watermelons are ripe, look, father, they are really big, right?"
As he spoke, he carefully avoided the leaves and vines, and gently patted the round melon with his little hands: "Father, these are all ripe, which one do you like?"
King Zhao took a quick look and pointed at one at random: "This is it!"
"okay!"
Ruirui was very young and weak, so he didn't try to hold the watermelon by himself. He couldn't hold it either, so he directed the maid to pick the watermelon and wash it.
By this time Ruirui had already arranged for the two of them to sit at the table and chairs in the yard.
I even went outside the yard to pick some flowers, put them in a small vase, and planned to decorate the table.
——This is unlike Ji Yunqing. She doesn’t like to do anything troublesome. But Ruirui lives a much more refined life.
With his small body, he runs around and works everywhere, and he doesn't feel tired at all.
The little princess couldn't help but persuade: "Rui Rui, sit down and have a rest."
"Sister, I'm not tired. I'll be fine soon."
When the watermelon was served, the maid took a knife and cut it, and then she sat down quietly.
Cut the watermelon into small pieces and put them on a plate to eat.
Eunuch Shi had checked the knives and watermelon in advance, and watched the maid cut the watermelon in front of everyone, so he felt a little relieved.
The moment the red melon flesh entered his mouth, King Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The taste is indeed sweet.
It is even sweeter than the watermelons given as rewards from the palace.
The taste is much better too.
You know, the melons sent to the palace are carefully selected before they can be delivered.
It's not comparable to what they just grow in the fields.
In fact, Ji Yunqing has been growing this watermelon for several years, and the taste has only improved a little, but the rind is still not thin, and it doesn’t taste as good as I remember.
But it's better than nothing.
"Rui Rui, is this melon grown by your mother?"
Ruirui shook her head in confusion: "And me, I planted them together. Mom said that only after we planted them can we eat them. Otherwise, others will eat them and won't let me touch them."
Didn’t he say that?
He grew this.
King Zhao thought, could it be a problem of breed?
Rui Rui is so hospitable.
"If father and sister like to eat it, then come over often. But don't let the maids in the yard bring it over. It's too heavy for them to carry and will break."
King Zhao couldn't help but laugh. This kid was very much like Ji Shi in this respect. They were both very protective of the people around them.
The watermelon was big and satisfied three people.
After eating, King Zhao did not waste the big watermelon and quickly got things done.
