The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1262

Chapter 1262: Chapter 1071: Iron Rooster

Since there was nothing happening at the Prince Residence, Daohua simply stayed at the Yan Residence for a few days, accompanying Old Madam Yan, Madam Li, and several sisters-in-law, chatting and passing the days leisurely.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace.

Palace maids and eunuchs once again saw the Emperor’s bright yellow figure chasing a little pink silhouette along the long pathway.

Behind them were two leisurely figures strolling along.

Prince Ping looked at his grandson beside him, his eyes filled with unspeakable satisfaction.

His grandson sliding slowly like this was just right—not like his granddaughter, who would stomp her feet and slide off far away.

He would never be like his elder brother, chasing people around and exhausting himself!

Watching the Emperor panting from running, Prince Ping shook his head, thinking his elder brother was a bit foolish. The faster you chased his granddaughter, the faster she would slide away. If his brother slowed down a bit, he wouldn’t tire himself out like that.

Daomiao shook his head as well, thinking that his sister had become addicted to teasing grandfather.

Of course, the Emperor wasn’t aware of the banter between grandfather and grandson. Ever since the three little ones entered the palace, chasing Daomang around the palace had become part of his daily routine.

At his age and now handling matters of state, the Emperor no longer exercised his body as diligently as he had before. These days, chasing Daomang around seemed to lighten him up quite a bit, which was why he didn’t stop her.

On the palace walls, the Crown Prince and some of his brothers watched the Emperor’s steady and agile figure, their hearts sinking slightly.

Their father was still so energetic and could live another twenty years at least. If that happened, wouldn’t they have to wait another twenty years?

The Crown Prince glanced at the Fourth Prince standing at the outer edge, smirking: "Old Fourth, I heard that lately, Moreng has been going to Qianqing Palace every day with Moxi to greet Father, and even dining with him sometimes?"

"We thought you were the most honest among us, but it seems we were mistaken—you’re the slickest one of all."

The Second Prince and others all turned their eyes toward the Fourth Prince.

Unperturbed, the Fourth Prince replied, "Your younger brother dare not compare with you elder brothers. Moreng and Moxi are close because of the bond they formed in Xiliang."

At this point, the Fourth Prince didn’t elaborate further.

Their sons had gone to Xiliang too during the journey, but failed to establish good relationships with Moxi. That was their own fault.

Sure enough, hearing this, the Crown Prince turned his face aside, while the Second Prince and others withdrew their looks.

The Second Prince glanced toward the direction of the Southern Study Room and smiled: "Moreng going to Qianqing Palace to greet Father shows great filial piety. Since Mobao and the others are studying in the Southern Study Room, it’s not reasonable for their elder brother to greet Father while they don’t. Let’s have them go along together today."

The Crown Prince’s eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Indeed, if we’re going, then it should be all of us together."

The Fifth and Sixth Princes chuckled but didn’t say anything. Judging by their expressions, they seemed to strongly agree with this.

The Fourth Prince’s gaze briefly flashed with sharp intent, but he quickly lowered his eyes to conceal it, soon restoring his usual calm demeanor.

Later that day, as class ended in the Southern Study Room, Daozi and Xiao Moreng had just stepped out of the courtyard when they saw Xiao Moqing and the others waiting outside.

Xiao Moreng frowned immediately.

Back in Xiliang, Xiao Moqing and a few others had played well with Daozi, even if there had been conflicts that were long resolved. Yet upon meeting them now, there was no longer that childhood camaraderie.

Following instructions from home, Xiao Moqing cheerfully approached Daozi: "Moxi, I’ve heard you’ve been bringing Fourth Brother along to greet Grandfather every day. Why not bring us today too? It’s been a long time since we greeted Grandfather."

Daozi glanced at Xiao Moqing and the others, disliking their subtly aggressive demeanor. Yet outwardly, he didn’t let it show, maintaining a smiling face:

"Grandfather is everyone’s grandfather. If you wish to greet him, just go ahead—you don’t need me to bring you. Since I’m heading to Qianqing Palace and we’re on the same route, let’s all go together."

Thus, a large group headed to Qianqing Palace.

Seeing so many people arriving together, the Emperor was briefly startled. Upon hearing they had come to greet him, he smiled faintly and nodded without saying much.

From then on, whenever Xiao Moreng went to Qianqing Palace, Xiao Moqing and the others would inevitably join him.

The twins took the opportunity to familiarize themselves with everyone.

Unlike Xiao Moqing and the others, who were indifferent toward the twins and unwilling to play with them, Xiao Mokuan behaved like a good elder brother, patiently playing games with the twins.

Seeing this, Xiao Moreng understood. Back in Xiliang, Uncle and Aunt had treated the Sixth Brother, who was born from a concubine, equally well.

...

On April 15th, after finishing his governmental affairs, the Emperor noticed the twins looking bored. After some thought, he decided to take them out of the palace to stroll around the city.

Daozi, Xiao Moreng, and Xiao Mokuan happened to be there as well, so he brought them along. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

When the Crown Prince and others heard the news, they hurriedly brought their legitimate sons to catch up. On the main street, they ran into the Emperor’s group.
