Li Ziting, who had been angry just now, was instantly comforted by these words. He put away his thorns and nuzzled back to Yun Xutong's side like a puppy.
"But it's not worth it for me to take my mother's place!"
"How can there be so much value?" Yun Xutong thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you stay at home to celebrate the New Year this year and go to your grandfather's house to stay for a few days. The relatives there are very harmonious and the life is peaceful. "
Li Ziting was overjoyed when he heard this and asked quickly: "Is it true? Mom, are you going with me?"
"Silly boy, how can mother go with you." Yun Xutong smiled and helped her son straighten his hair, "My mother is a princess, so what's the point of not having a mistress in the palace during the Chinese New Year?
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to pay homage to our ancestors. It's a bit unreasonable that you are not at home. If mother is not at home, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders to watch our palace!"
"It has been a joke for a long time, and this time is no different." Li Ziting's mood suddenly hit rock bottom, and he said in a muffled voice.
Although he knew that with Yun Xutong's character, he would never be able to do such a thing as not staying in the palace during the Chinese New Year and returning to his parents' home, but he still felt depressed after being rejected.
"For the Chinese New Year, if I go back to my parents' home, if I get caught by ginseng, life will be very difficult for everyone in the palace." Yun Xutong patiently coaxed his son, "You can go and relax for a few days, and you should also take care of me." I’ll stay with your grandma, okay?”
Li Ziting knew that what Yun Xutong said was right. If he stayed at home, he would only end up having a huge quarrel with Prince Ren.
"Mom, don't be angry with him. If it doesn't work, just treat him like a fart and let it go. It's not worth it to ruin your body with anger."
"Where did you learn these nonsense? Stop talking nonsense." Seeing that her son was finally willing to listen to her, Yun Xutong's complexion improved a lot. She got up and freshened up briefly, and then started to prepare for Li Ziting to take him there. annual gift.
Li Ziting was happy to keep her occupied so as not to think about the troublesome things at home again, so he followed along, half helping and half adding to the trouble.
The mother and son talked and laughed and worked for more than an hour before the New Year's gift to Yun Mansion was ready.
Yun Xutong was worried that there would be another conflict between father and son during lunch, so she urged him to leave early.
"Everything is almost packed. You can go change into new clothes and go out. Maybe you can catch lunch there."
"When you were a child, you always said that the food at your grandma's house was better than at home. To do this, the palace had to change many cooks. Finally, your grandma heard about it and sent someone to send over the cooks from the palace.
"Unexpectedly, not even half a month after the cook arrived at the palace, you sent him back again, saying that he could only taste good food cooked at my grandfather's place, but the food cooked at the palace would not taste good!
"Today is a good day, hurry up and have a meal!"
"There is such a thing, I don't even remember it." How could Li Ziting not know Yun Xutong's worries? He couldn't bear to see her put so much thought into this, so he followed the good way and said, "Then I'll go over right away. Mom still has something to worry about." Whatever you want to say to grandma, I can convey it to you."
"I just went back a few days ago. I don't have anything to say to you. Just spend time with your grandmother."
Now that he decided to go, Li Ziting didn't even say hello to Prince Ren, and went straight to Yun Mansion with his servants.
The Yun Mansion and the Prince's Mansion are located in the same Yingtian Mansion, but the Prince's Mansion is located in a bustling city, while the Yun Mansion is located in the quiet east of the city with few people.
The Yun family is a scholarly family, and their ancestors have produced several famous literati.
Li Ziting's biological mother, Yun Xutong, was gentle and generous, knowledgeable and courteous, and she was Mrs. Yun's only daughter, so she had been favored since she was a child.
Unexpectedly, it was precisely because she was so outstanding that she was attracted by the Queen Mother at a glance and betrothed to her youngest son Li Weisheng, who is now Prince Ren.
The Yun family saw Prince Ren's misdeeds over the years but were powerless to do anything.
The only apple in her eye married an inhumane person, which made Mrs. Yun extremely distressed, and she wished she could pour all her love into Li Ziting as compensation.
Therefore, Li Ziting has always had a close relationship with the Yun Mansion over the years. Although he does not come here often, if calculated carefully, he may spend more time in the Yun Mansion in a year than in Prince Zai Ren's Mansion.
Li Ziting was in the Yun family just like he was in front of Yun Xutong. He always acted like a good boy, which was completely different from how he looked outside.
Half an hour later, Li Ziting's carriage stopped steadily at the main entrance of Yun Mansion.
Because he came to visit impromptuly, Li Ziting didn't have time to let anyone know in advance.
Therefore, when the servants guarding the Yun family saw Li Ziting, they couldn't help but be surprised.
"See the Prince." Naturally, all the servants in the Yun Mansion know Li Ziting. He usually comes and goes often, but it is already New Year's Eve. How can the Prince come to the Yun Mansion if he doesn't stay at the Prince's Mansion to celebrate the New Year? Already?
The servants didn't think much about it. After saluting, some people came forward to help get things, while others hurried in to pass the news.
"I'm here to visit my grandma." Li Ziting walked in familiarly.
When the housekeeper received the news, he rushed out and trotted behind Li Ziting and said, "The old lady was still talking about missing the prince this morning, but you are here now, but now the old lady is taking a nap... "
Li Ziting paused immediately and chuckled: "Since grandma is taking a nap, I won't disturb her rest. Find a place for me to stay for a while, and I will go over when grandma gets up."
Of course, it was impossible for the housekeeper to find a place for him just as he said. Instead, he led Li Ziting straight to Mrs. Yun's yard and asked him to drink tea outside first.
As Mrs. Yun gets older, she attaches great importance to health care. Although she takes a nap every day, she only takes a nap sometimes and never takes a nap.
So as soon as Li Ziting drank two cups of tea, there was a rustling sound from the back room, mixed with some women's low voices.
Li Ziting guessed that it was Mrs. Yun who got up.
Sure enough, the next moment, Mrs. Yun's joyful voice sounded in the room: "Zi Ting is here, where is he?"
Then, the maids opened the curtains one after another and supported Mrs. Yun as she walked out of the back room.
"Grandma!" Li Ziting immediately smiled brightly, walked quickly to Mrs. Yun and saluted.
Although Mrs. Yun has white hair, her complexion is good and her voice is confident. Perhaps because she just woke up, there is a slight blush on her cheeks, which complements her complexion very well.
"It's really Ziting who's here! I thought these girls were deliberately using you to make me happy. Let me take a closer look."
Mrs. Yun held his hand and looked him up and down carefully. She frowned slightly after saying "ouch" and said distressedly: "You kid, you look a lot thinner than when you came back last time, right?" Too busy outside?"
Li Ziting helped her sit down on the chair, took the soft blanket from the maid's hand, gently put it on Mrs. Yun's legs and said, "Are you just roundabout and complaining that I haven't come enough? Look back at me I might as well move here and stay with you every day until you get tired of seeing me!"
"That's great!" Madam Yun was so amused by him that she laughed, but she knew in her heart that there must be something wrong with him coming here on such a day.
