Before Wang Qinggai's car arrived in front of the house, Wang Li hurriedly walked out with his family. Apparently the guards in front of the door had been observing.
"Meet King Xiaoxian."
Qin Heng opened the car door, looked at Wang Li and others who were bending down to salute beside the car, and said with a kind face: "Master Wang, there is no need to be polite."
As he spoke, he motioned to Zhang Long to let him go.
"Your Highness, it's cold outside, let's go in." Wang Li hunched over, concern in his voice.
"Okay." Qin Heng nodded and glanced at the people behind him.
In addition to the slightly cramped Wang Baobao, there were two other women.
One of them is nearly forty years old. Although his face has traces of time, his delicate face still exudes a mature charm.
The other was a young girl who looked about the same age as him, with a pure and pleasant appearance, exuding a lively aura. She was looking at his wheelchair with a cute look at the moment.
Qin Heng smiled at her, and the girl panicked and quickly shrank her head like a turtle.
In the lobby, Qin Heng occupied the first place, while Wang Li and his son sat below and looked at him cautiously.
Qin Heng raised the corners of his mouth, raised a smile, and spoke first: "I haven't seen you for many days. Mr. Wang looks a little haggard."
Wang Li looked a little embarrassed: "Your Highness is laughing, I have been really busy these days because of the canal incident."
"Master Wang, as my father's humerus minister, you must pay attention to your body." Qin Heng said in a sincere tone.
Wang Li waved his hand quickly and said humbly: "Your Highness is overly complimentary. I was just doing my duty."
"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated His Highness in person on being crowned King Xiaoxian."
"Well, I'm ashamed to say that I caught the cold a few days ago and it's really inconvenient to see guests, but I neglected Mr. Wang." Qin Heng raised his hands and clasped his fists to express his apology.
A few days ago, Wang Li paid a visit, but he claimed to be ill at the time, so he did not meet with him.
Seeing this, Wang Li quickly raised his hand and saluted back: "Your Highness, you are so polite. Your Highness has a distinguished status and takes your own health as your top priority, but I feel a little embarrassed."
"Master Wang, you don't need to be so restrained. After all, we are all a family." Seeing him like this, Qin Heng couldn't help but joke.
Wang Li smiled brightly and cursed secretly in his heart.
Whoever is with your family, we can at most be considered royal relatives. If we were not familiar with each other, how could I be so restrained?
Naturally, Qin Heng didn't know what Wang Li was thinking. He looked at Wang Baobao, who was reserved at the side, and asked aloud: "How is your consort lately?"
Wang Baobao looked serious, just like his father, and said solemnly: "Go back to your highness, everything is fine."
"How is Sister Huang doing now?" Qin Heng calculated the time and found that Sister Huang's due date should not be far away.
Speaking of Qin Shuning, Wang Baobao finally showed a smile on his reserved face. He scratched his head and replied shyly: "Your Highness, the princess's due date is next month."
"Then please consort, please take me to see the imperial sister."
Hearing this, Wang Baobao replied directly without thinking: "Your Highness is polite. This is as it should be."
"Master Wang, please excuse me now..." Qin Heng turned his head and said to Wang Li.
There wasn't much communication between them in the past, and Wang Li was not familiar with him at all, which made the conversation awkward for him.
"Your Highness, please." Wang Li quickly stood up, looked at Wang Baobao, and said in a serious tone: "Enter your Highness well, don't neglect it."
"Yes, father."
Wang Baobao stood up quickly and extended his hand to signal: "Your Highness, please."
"Well, let's go."
Zhang Long pushed him and followed Wang Baobao.
Although the palace was not as good as his, it was still relatively exquisite.
Several people walked through the courtyard and walked directly to a main room.
At this time, a maid standing in front of the house saw their arrival and hurriedly came over to greet them.
"My servant pays homage to King Xiaoxian."
"Well, get up. Is this convenient for the emperor?" Qin Heng, the maid, remembered that she was Chunxiu, the personal servant who had been with the emperor since she was a child.
"Back to Your Highness, the princess knew that Your Highness was coming and had been waiting in the room." Chunxiu stood up and answered excitedly.
"Ah Fu pushed me in, Zhang Long, you guys can wait outside." No man can enter the imperial sister's boudoir, let alone one with a big belly.
After saying this, he looked at Wang Baobao again and said, "Do you want the prince-in-law to go in?"
Hearing this, Wang Baobao naturally knew what it meant. He shook his head: "Your Highness, please go in, I will wait outside."
"Okay then." Qin Heng nodded and said nothing more.
As soon as Ah Fu pushed him into the house, Qin Shuning's voice came from inside: "Is Heng'er here?"
"Yes, Sister Huang, I'm here." Qin Heng hurriedly replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Heng saw the imperial sister leaning on the edge of the bed.
"Sister Huang, you have gained a lot of weight." Qin Heng blurted out the words as he looked at the bloated sister Huang with a big belly.
"Hmph, look for a fight. A woman will naturally gain weight during pregnancy." Qin Shuning pretended to be angry when she heard this.
"Haha, that's true." Qin Heng nodded awkwardly, regretting what he just said.
Women have always loved beauty, and he was afraid that these words would affect the emperor's sister's mood, but it seemed like she would be fine.
"Chunxiu, please go out and let me and the emperor's brother be alone."
Qin Shuning looked at the slaves in the room and ordered softly.
"Okay princess, if you need anything, call me. My slave is right outside." Chunxiu looked at her belly and said worriedly.
"Um."
Qin Shuning nodded slightly, and Qin Heng also went out, leaving only him and the imperial sister in the room.
"I heard a few days ago that you were conferred the title of King Xiaoxian by your father. I was originally going to congratulate you, but my body is really inconvenient to move." Qin Shuning touched her belly and explained with a smile.
"We, brother and sister, don't have to be so polite. Look, I'm here today." Qin Heng put on an indifferent attitude and asked curiously: "Sister Huang, does she know whether she is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
"The imperial doctor said it should be a boy." Qin Shuning touched her belly, her face showing the brilliance of maternal love.
"The prince-in-law must be very happy now. By the way, Sister Huang, why do I feel that he and Mr. Wang are not close to me?" Qin Heng raised his head, with a trace of grievance on his face.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Qin Shuning's heart tightened, she stopped her movements and asked.
"I just communicated with them for a while, and I felt a little cold towards the emperor's younger brother." Qin Heng said with a somewhat aggrieved tone.
Qin Shuning's expression changed slightly. If word got out that Wang Li and his son were not considerate in their hospitality to King Xiaoxian, it would be a huge disgrace. It might even be an offense against the royal family.
She hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense, you are royal relatives, how could you not be intimate? If among the people you would still call him brother-in-law."
"Maybe you have had too little communication in the past, and since you are a prince, they will naturally be a little cautious."
