Chapter 1813: 890 Mother and Son Reuniting (Second Update)_3
“What did you learn at the Guozijian today?” Princess Xinyang shifted the topic and asked about his studies.
“Today, I learned the ‘Classic of Filial Piety’.” Little Jingkong recited everything from the class and then explained it in his own words.
Princess Xinyang nodded in approval. Everything was correct.
She patted his small head, “What a clever child.”
Little Jingkong’s eyes twinkled, “Am I clever or is brother-in-law clever?”
Princess Xinyang was amused by him, “Both are clever.”
Little Jingkong frowned deeply as if burdened with great hatred.
Why was the troubleso brother-in-law also clever?
Clearly, the troubleso brother-in-law always ca last in exams.
In fact, just by asking this question, he subconsciously admitted that the troubleso brother-in-law was quite clever; he just hadn’t realized it himself.
He straightened his little body and declared, “I’ll beco the top scholar earlier than brother-in-law!”
At that ti, little Jingkong didn’t know that he indeed beca the top scholar earlier than the troubleso brother-in-law, but not the top literary scholar.
“Jingkong! It’s ti to go archery!”
Xu Zhuzhu’s voice ca from outside.
“Oh no! I forgot I promised to go archery with them!” Little Jingkong jumped off the stool, politely saluted Princess Xinyang, “Princess, I have to go now. I’ll visit you another day.”
“Alright.” Princess Xinyang nodded gently with a warm gaze, letting Yujin escort Little Jingkong to the carriage.
When Yujin returned, Princess Xinyang was tidying up the small garnt that a maid had soiled.
“Jingkong really looks like Ahen when they were young.” Seeing Jingkong was like seeing a half-young Ahen, which made Princess Xinyang very nostalgic.
Yujin chuckled, “Isn’t that true? Both are smart, both love to be first, yet both are quietly mischievous.”
When Xiao Hen was young, he didn’t look as obedient as he seed. If you told him not to climb trees, he’d secretly climb them; if you forbade sweets, he’d sneak into the kitchen with Long Yi.
Sotis when Princess Xinyang couldn’t suppress her anger and wanted to spank him, he would know to ask Long Yi to take him away, returning only when she had cald down.
Thinking about Xiao Hen’s childhood antics, at first, Princess Xinyang found it amusing. But after a while, her expression carried traces of sorrow.
She looked down, gently stroking the little garnt in her hands, and said calmly, “What do you think Qingqing would be like if he were still alive?”
Would he be as mischievous as Ahen?
Would he be as smart as Ahen?
Would he have as many clever ideas as Ahen?
Would he pursue literature or practice martial arts?
Would he love to wander or prefer to stay by her side?
Yujin looked at her worriedly, “Princess…”
Princess Xinyang shook her head, suppressing the pain of losing her child, “I’m fine, it’s just that I’ve been thinking about him a lot recently.”
Yujin glanced at the little garnt in her hands, “Seeing objects reminds of people. Princess, I should put Young Master’s clothes away.”
Princess Xinyang said nothing, her gaze swept across the table, “Little Jingkong left his book here, find soone to send it to Bishui Alley later.”
“Alright.” Yujin just agreed.
A gentle knock ca at the door.
“I’ll get the door,” Yujin said.
She walked to the door and pulled the courtyard gate open forcefully.
Yujin saw a familiar figure, with an exquisite appearance, graceful as jade, no longer as youthful but with a trace of mature steadiness befitting his coming of age.
Yujin was taken aback, “Young Marquis! Princess! The Young Marquis is back!”
“Ahen?” Princess Xinyang was filled with joy, forgot to put on her cloak, and hurriedly walked out of the house.
Amidst the endless wind and snow, she saw her son whom she thought of every day.
Snow covered Xiao Hen’s shoulders, showing that he had been standing at the door for a while.
He crossed the threshold but did not imdiately reunite with Princess Xinyang. Instead, he turned around, looking behind him.
“Co in,” he said.
“Brother.”
