When Xie Yan heard this strange address, he frowned and thought for a long time, then lowered his head and saw the exquisite embroidery on the hem of His Royal Highness's clothes.
"Daddy? But I seem to have heard someone mention it, it should be called Father Wang."
The prince can also be regarded as the throne, and there is nothing wrong with this title. It's just that if you compare with your father, you will inevitably be a little less close.
"Listen to others, or listen to the lonely?"
"Hearing from His Royal Highness, Mammy said, His Royal Highness is the biggest person here."
Xie Hui stretched out his hand to help him tidy up the messy clothes, and nodded slightly.
"That's right, since you listened to me, what should you call me now?"
Xie Yan stared at the man in front of him, tilted his head, and said softly:
"Daddy."
"I remember that there is still a Ningtang Courtyard, and I told the housekeeper to clean it up."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shiwei bowed down in response.
"From today on, you will be by Gu's side."
Xie Yan subconsciously pointed at himself with his finger, and asked suspiciously:
"Dad was talking about me?"
"Um."
I haven't seen him for many years, and it's normal for this child to not get close to him for a while. Lu Shiwei always speculates on His Highness's thoughts, and when he asked the housekeeper to tidy up the yard, he mentioned a few words to the housekeeper by the way.
In the eyes of His Highness, the treatment of this young master has to be raised. Don't do anything to make His Highness unhappy.
As the prince, the client had to deal with a lot of things every day. Xie Hui sat behind the desk, saw Xie Yan who was still there, waved to him, and said:
"Come here, can you grind ink?"
Xie Yan walked over. Although he is not young now, he is a bit short, and he needs to stand on tiptoe to reach the things on the table.
Xie Hui saw that he was just staring there, put down his pen and hugged him on his lap, seeing how nervous he was trying to struggle but not daring, asked in a deep voice:
"Is it not?"
"Um…"
"You can learn if you can't, just say it boldly, no one is born capable of everything, Daddy will not punish you for this, and you don't have to be too nervous."
In ancient times, if it wasn't for the cubs that I personally raised from infancy, most of them wouldn't get too close to me. Before that, Xie Hui had already made preparations.
Xie Hui gently rubbed his head, a proper physical foundation can make the relationship between them easier to get close.
Since he intends to train this child to become an emperor in the future, he doesn't have to get close to his father, but he has to trust himself.
"Got it, Daddy."
Xie Yan, who had never been so close before, firmly reminded him in his head that this is the prince now, but he still couldn't control the warmth of the hand rubbing his head.
I endured it and endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, squinting my eyes and leaning forward to rub it lightly.
It's like a cat that has been wandering for a long time, finally found a shit-shoveling officer who is willing to take him in, and carefully curry favor with him.
When Xie Hui was processing the memorial, he held the child in his arms, and saw that he was so nervous that his hands were folded there, and his thin lips were slightly curled up. The human cub with this appearance is actually quite cute.
In the client's memory, it is rare for this child to maintain a pure heart. As for whether he is talented in government affairs, he has to find a wife for him before making a conclusion.
Xie Hui kept him by his side, and after having lunch together, seeing him standing there basking in the warm sunshine, his head bit by bit as if he could fall down in a second, he turned his head and glanced at the standing Guard Lu on the side.
Lu Shiwei understood, and planned to carry him down to rest, just when he bumped into him, Xie Yan, who was about to close his eyes, struggled to open his eyes, and muttered:
"I am not sleepy…"
"Come back after taking a nap."
After Xie Yan heard the familiar voice, he poked his head over to make sure it was Xie Hui's words, so he leaned against the guard's arms and narrowed his eyes.
After they left, the housekeeper happened to come over to tell them about cleaning up the yard.
"Pick a few things from the warehouse, tomorrow I will take Xie Yan to visit my grandfather."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After the people left, Xie Hui read a letter sent by his subordinates in the study, thinking about all the things in front of him now, and felt that the rebellion should be done as early as possible.
On the second day, he got up early to go to court. Xie Yan, who was used to being lazy in the Ningtang courtyard, was called several times by the nanny and still didn't get up. The more he called him, the more his head got into the bed.
She wrapped herself tightly, leaving only one head to breathe outside, and occasionally got annoyed by the noise, and her head also got into it.
On the other side, Xie Hui didn't do anything in the court, and nodded when the emperor had something to say, until when he came down to the court, he saw the **** next to the emperor walking towards him, and his steps became faster and faster.
Fortunately, the commissioner cared about family affection before and tolerated everything, now even if Xie Hui did something out of the ordinary, it would not arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Before Xie returned to the Prince's Mansion, Xie Yan in the Ningtang Courtyard finally managed to get out of the bed, and the nanny yawned while sitting there changing his clothes.
"Mommy, what are you doing up so early?"
"His Royal Highness said that he would take you to visit Xie's family today, so we can't delay the matter."
Originally, this nanny was going to get Xie Yan up directly, but another guard who was close to His Highness came to stop her, saying that the young master only needs to get up before His Highness returns to the mansion.
The housekeeper told Xiu Niang that the clothes that he rushed to make overnight were the size of Xie Yan, and the maid who served His Royal Highness came over and helped him tidy up his hair. It's obviously much more pleasing to the eye.
"Go, I will take you to meet your great-grandfather today."
When Xie Hui stretched out his hand towards him, Xie Yan covered his mouth with his hand and yawned. After the yawn, he went forward and held Xie Hui's hand and walked out.
The people from the Prince's residence came in advance to convey the message that Xie's residence was ready early, especially Mr. Xie, who couldn't fall asleep for a long time last night thinking of His Royal Highness's transformation.
During the meal, Xie Hui mentioned something, and wanted to ask Mr. Xie to help him find a wife to enlighten this child Xie Yan.
"Your Highness...is this against the rules?"
After all, he is a child of the royal family, even if his birth mother's status is low, it still cannot change the fact that the normal blood in Xie Yan's body belongs to the royal family.
Although Mrs. Xie often complained to the queen when she entered the palace, blaming the prince for acting too absurdly, it was just that he thought that as a prince, he should not welcome a brothel girl into the mansion as a concubine, and never thought of angering this child.
Especially after learning that Xie Yan's biological mother passed away when she was born, he felt a little more pity for this child.
"Father has never paid attention to orphans in his heart. It would be better for this child to be taught by your grandfather. It is indeed a bit late to enlighten the child. Please don't dislike him."
After finishing speaking, Xie Hui stood up and bowed slightly towards Master Xie, who also hurriedly stood up and held Xie Hui's arm.
"Your Highness, don't do this. If Your Highness trusts the old man, just send this child here."
After discussing this matter, Mrs. Xie took Xie Yan out and ordered the servant girl to bring a few plates of pastries.
It was still the Huxin Pavilion from last time, Xie Hui discussed the details with Mr. Xie, and before leaving, he took Xie Yan together and saw that there were still some pastry crumbs on his cheeks, so he stretched out his hand and gently wiped it off for him .
Back at the mansion, Xie Hui ordered people to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and went to the study with Xie Yan.
"Do you know why Gu took you to the great-grandfather's house today?"
"Look for a master, enlighten me."
Xie Hui reached out and tapped his nose lightly with his index finger, and praised with a smile:
"clever."
With the pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready, Xie Yan took the pen handed over by his father, Xie Hui corrected his pen-holding posture, held him in his arms from behind, and taught him stroke by stroke patiently.
"Thanks…"
After Xie Hui finished writing, he read it out, and Xie Yan subconsciously read it along with his father.
"Thanks."
"Cheng Qi."
"Chengqi..."
After finishing writing, Xie Hui helped him put the brush aside, let the words on the paper dry naturally, pointed to the writing on it, and said softly:
"Xie Chengqi, this is your name, do you remember?"
"Huh? Daddy, isn't my name Xie Yan?"
Although the people who served him always called him little son, but occasionally someone called him Xie Yan. He remembered very clearly that what his father taught him now conflicted with what he had always thought, so he subconsciously called him Xie Yan. The doubts in my heart were expressed.
"Xie Chengqi is your name, do you understand? The one before that was just nonsense, not believable."
"Oh."
Xie Chengqi nodded slightly. Although he was called Xie Yan more often, he was willing to believe what his father said.
After writing down this matter, he stared at the three words on the white paper and silently read it again in his heart.
Xie Chengqi.
Although he didn't understand the meaning of it, he inexplicably felt that it sounded better than his previous one.
Every time Xie Hui came to teach the child to practice his own name before handling official business, and then he went to do business by himself, letting Xie Chengqi write his own name five times on his small desk with a pen in his hand.
The client's grandfather had a good academic attainment. In order not to be conspicuous, he stayed at the house all day to raise birds. He hadn't accepted a student for a long time, and now it is rare to send one to the door.
There is only one student who is naturally serious when teaching.
In the blink of an eye, one month passed, and the emperor finally realized that something was wrong, and ordered the **** who was serving by his side to directly announce the prince into the palace.
Before he didn't need to see the prince himself, he was happy in his heart, but now when he suddenly thought of it, he felt a lot of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
When Xie Hui faced this emperor, he was extremely respectful on the surface, and there was no emotion in his eyes when he lowered his head.
Following the example of the client, he fooled around, and when he was about to leave the palace, he looked back at the red bricks and green tiles of the palace.
"Your Highness, after autumn, the weather is getting a bit cold."
