Chapter 621: Insisting on Staying
Wenzan was delighted, “The hunter is really smart and brave.”
“What nonsense is this?” Li Hongyuan stood at the door, listening for a mont before walking in.
Wenzan and Lingzi quickly stood up and respectfully saluted.
“Nevermind.”
Li Hongyuan bent down to pick up Lingzi, placed her on his lap, and looked at Jiang Ning, “What are you telling them?”
“Fairy tales.”
“Fairy tales?”
“Yes, children’s stories.”
“…Which book is this from? How co I’ve never seen it before?”
“Is it possible for you to read every book in the world, Your Highness?” Jiang Ning stood up.
Lingzi twisted her body, got down from Li Hongyuan’s lap, and hugged Jiang Ning’s leg: “Mother, tell us one more story, just one more please.”
“Lingzi wants to hear more?”
“Yes!”
“I can, but it’s dinner ti now. After dinner, I’ll tell you the story about the three little pigs building their houses, alright?”
“Alright!”
The two children cheered together.
Li Hongyuan frowned as he listened, “What kind of story is this about three little pigs building houses? I’m afraid this is just sothing you made up, isn’t it?”
“So what if I did?” Jiang Ning didn’t care, “Aren’t all the stories in the world made up by people?”
“Although they’re young, they should be reading so serious literature as they start their education. But you’re telling them this nonsense.”
Little pigs building houses?
Wolf grandmother?
What the hell is this?
Jiang Ning said, “It’s good for children to listen to fairy tales and fables. It’s better than learning from those ‘thus’ and ‘therefore’ all day, and becoming ignorant fools who don’t understand the world!”
“Who are you calling a fool? You’re insulting literate people!”
“Then why do people call them ‘bookworms’? Are there not many who have read themselves silly?” Jiang Ning snorted, “Now I’m going to eat lamb hot pot, and I won’t argue with you. Being angry is not good for digestion. Crown Prince, please leave.”
“Where should I go?”
“Go to Concubine Li’s room to have dinner, drink wine and listen to music.”
Li Hongyuan laughed in anger, “Does whether this prince goes to any room need to be decided by you?”
“Then I’ll tell the story of the three little pigs building their houses. If you stay, make sure to plug your ears so you won’t spoil your literary ears.”
Li Hongyuan: “…”
Every ti he ca, he would be pissed off by her.
She never gave him a word.
Not long after, the lamb hot pot was served, steaming hot and fragrant, especially on a snowy evening, that it was hard to resist.
Li Tingqian also ca back from Elegance Palace.
As soon as he entered and slled the aroma, he knew that his little aunt must have made sothing delicious. He ran in and saw Fifth Imperial Uncle standing there, so he quickly went over and saluted properly.
“Why are you running?” Li Hongyuan brushed the snow off his body, “You’re already drooling over this little bit of food.”
“Xiaoqian, co over here, this bowl is yours,” Jiang Ning called him over.
Li Tingqian happily went over and saw a small piece of lamb chop in his bowl, tender and sticky.
He quickly took a bite, didn’t wait to swallow, and eagerly ate another bite.
“Is it good?” Jiang Ning asked with a smiling face.
“Mhm, delicious!”
Li Tingqian had no ti to talk.
Looking at the steaming hot pot, Li Hongyuan snorted.
Wenzan ca over and tugged on his clothes, “Father, co and eat with us.”
Jiang Ning said, “Wenzan, your father is not eating here. He’s going to Side Concubine Li’s room next door to eat.”
“Did I say that?” Li Hongyuan’s face was cold as he pulled Wenzan over and sat down, “Today, I’ll have my al here.”
