"Where are the royal father and the Crown Prince now?" Shi Jinchen thought, and felt that it was better to see it first.
"I'm playing chess in a bamboo pavilion not far from the osmanthus tree." Uncle Chen had always been accompanying the emperor and Shi Jinhan. It was because he heard from the servants that they reported that Shi Jinchen had returned, that was why he immediately came to welcome them.
"Let's go to the bamboo pavilion." Shi Jinchen was the first to walk in front of the Ke Yuehua, and because of that, he knew that the Shi Jinchen was speaking to him, he had always been following behind the Shi Jinchen.
It was the same as drinking Shi Jinchen, he didn't know why the emperor would drink Shi Jinhan at this time. If there had to be a direction, then there would only be one direction, and that would be because of last night's incident with Min Fei.
Did the Emperor manage to investigate something? Ke Yuehua boldly guessed it.
"Just stay by the side for a while. You don't need to say anything." Shi Jinchen's stomach and Ke Yuehua said.
Because Shi Jinchen also did not know what the emperor's sudden visit was for, they did not know.
"Yeah, I know." Although Ke Yuehua and Shi Jinchen were the same, they could only see the purpose of the Emperor's visit to the Duke's Mansion. If it was really related to Min Fei, then they could only see how Shi Jinchen would deal with the emperor when the time came. After all, she couldn't say anything.
Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua arrived at the bamboo pavilion in a short amount of time. Before they even drew near, they could already see from afar two people sitting around the bamboo pavilion as they played chess. One wore a bright yellow robe, while the other was dark purple.
When Shi Jinchen saw this, he immediately quickened his pace and walked forward. As soon as they arrived at the bamboo pavilion, they immediately invited them to come.
"We pay our respects to royal father."
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Crown Prince." Although they could refuse Shi Jinchen if they did not want to pay respects, they could only bow to Shi Jinhan if they had to, since the current emperor was still here and he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble, they had no choice but to accept their fate and pay their respects.
"You're back? Both were equal! Where did he go to play today? They didn't even send people to look for him. "
Because they had to look for Zhao Minmin, Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua did not inform others of their whereabouts. As a result, they did not send someone to tell Uncle Chen about their journey as they usually did, even to the point of the sudden appearance of the emperor today, catching them somewhat unprepared, so they could only send people to search everywhere.
He never thought that the Ke Yuehua would run all the way to the relay station.
The emperor and his Shi Jinhan had waited from noon all the way until now. Seeing that Shi Jinchen and his Ke Yuehua had returned, and even carried a trace of alcohol, he was slightly displeased.
"You guys went for a drink?" The Emperor added as he glanced at the Ke Yuehua behind the Shi Jinchen.
"Reporting to royal father, this son has only brought Xiao Sui out to relax. Oh right, royal father, what orders do you have to come here today?" Shi Jinchen glanced at Shi Jinhan sitting opposite of the Emperor, and stared at Shi Jinhan, indicating that he wanted to come with royal father.
Hearing Shi Jinchen's words, the Emperor was immediately slightly displeased, and so he opened his mouth to say to Shi Jinchen, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that I can only come to you when I have matters to attend to? "
It's not that Shi Jinchen didn't hear the emperor's displeasure, but it wasn't that he wanted to explain, but just when he was about to do so …
Imperial Father, Fourth Brother has a direct personality. You don't need to get angry." After Shi Jinhan finished speaking, he immediately turned to Shi Jinchen and spoke to Shi Jinchen with the bearing of a good brother, "Fourth brother, you are also my father. He has been waiting for you all afternoon.
When Shi Jinhan said this, it really seemed like he was lecturing his own little brother, but the meaning behind his words were more or less the same, saying that Shi Jinchen were not wise.
When the Emperor saw the Shi Jinhan speak to Shi Jinchen in such a manner, he immediately felt very gratified.
"Look, you should learn from your royal brother. Today, I didn't even go to the Crown Prince's Palace. Your royal brother knew that I had left the palace, so he immediately came to your house to accompany me. How come you don't have the slightest filial piety?"
While praising Shi Jinhan for his filial piety and understanding, the Emperor didn't forget to teach him a thing or two about Shi Jinchen.
How could the Shi Jinchen not know what the Shi Jinhan was planning? Furthermore, he had long since gotten used to the Emperor's words of wanting to compare using his Shi Jinhan with him …
Shi Jinchen had long since been paralyzed by these words, and did not care much about it, even wanting to ignore it. However, due to some unavoidable reasons, Shi Jinchen had no choice but to give in.
"royal father, this son knows his wrongs. royal father, please punish me."
Shi Jinchen also did not plan to explain, because he knew that as long as he did so, he would definitely be said by the somewhat angered Emperor to the point of quibbling down.
The Emperor looked at Shi Jinchen which had suddenly admitted its fault towards him and felt that his anger had been greatly reduced, however, he still maintained his stern face.
"Never mind, it's fine if you know you're wrong."
Shi Jinchen, upon hearing His Majesty's words, did not continue speaking. Instead, he raised his head and looked towards the emperor, waiting for him to say something.
"Since you're back, I'll get someone to prepare a meal. Tonight, I'm eating dinner at your residence."
"Yes, your son will pass down the orders." Although Shi Jinchen were curious as to why the emperor would suddenly say that he wanted to eat at his residence, they could not take the initiative to ask. They could only follow the emperor's instructions and call for people to prepare dinner.
After the emperor saw that the Shi Jinchen and the Ke Yuehua had left, he continued to play chess with the Shi Jinhan.
As if he was casually talking to Shi Jinhan, he said, "If Jinchen is half as sensible as you, we don't have to worry about it."
Shi Jinhan was originally considering how he should settle things. However, when it was possible for the Emperor to win, or not offend the Emperor, and when it was also impossible for the Emperor to see through it, he suddenly heard the Emperor say this to him.
"Fourth brother is still young, maybe he will be better off in the future." The Shi Jinhan spoke the exact words.
"He's still young?" Just a year or so younger than you.
"Forget it, forget it."
The emperor was actually seeing the efforts of the Shi Jinchen, but was just a little dissatisfied with the temper of the Shi Jinchen, it was just too stubborn, and there was also enmity between the both of them as a royal father user.
Although he knew the reason, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with how the Shi Jinchen treated him coldly and uncomprehendingly. Back then, he was also helpless against it, and he had always felt that he owed the Shi Jinchen for that matter …
Therefore, the emperor had been thinking about whether or not he could make up for his Shi Jinchen elsewhere. However, the coldness of the Shi Jinchen again and again made the emperor somewhat angry.
It was said that no matter how wrong a parent was, they should still be tolerant.
Shi Jinchen and Ke Yuehua also planned to return to their rooms to change clothes. After all, their clothes still reeked of alcohol, which would make the emperor angry.
