After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 195 Dinner Party

The Emperor also realized that this was inappropriate. He had just been emotionally agitated. Minghe was going to play the role of successor in the future, and it would be troublesome if he were to actually acknowledge him.

Jia Daishan:

"I understand Your Majesty's feelings. Please allow me to say something that might be a bit presumptuous."

emperor:

"You're too kind. Please speak freely. We're not in the capital today, and there are no outsiders around, so you can say whatever you want."

Jia Daishan smiled and said:

"I also remembered the days when we fought together in the past. I know that Your Majesty must have been thinking about the past to have such thoughts."

I often think back to those days when I was free to run rampant, but now I'm old enough that I can no longer climb over the wall with Your Majesty to go out for drinks.

The emperor burst into laughter.

"I don't agree. I'm old, but I'm still powerful!"

"You old fool, with all your grandsons here, talking about climbing over the wall to drink—you're not ashamed, but I am!"

Situ Minghe pulled Jia Hu and Jia Zhen aside, turned around, and put their heads close together, as if they hadn't heard anything.

The Emperor laughed and scolded:

"You brats, you're always putting on an act."

Situ Minghe's innocent face

"Grandfather, we don't know anything about this."

"Alright, alright, you brats, go out and play for a while."

The Emperor wanted to chat with Jia Daihua and the others about the past, so he sent the children out to play.

"I will send someone to find you later. Come back for the banquet and introduce Hu'er to everyone."

After the younger children finished their greetings, Jia Hu and Jia Zhen looked at their grandfather.

Jia Daihua laughed and said:

"We've made some new friends, let's go have some fun!"

Jia Daishan added:

"Don't run around, be a good boy/girl."

The two nodded obediently and left the imperial tent, whereupon the guards immediately followed.

Once outside the imperial tent area, it was much more lively. The emperor had suddenly decided to hold a banquet, and everyone was busy.

The ministers were also getting ready to attend the banquet, and even the children were kept at home and not allowed to come out.

Jia Hu and the other two didn't know where to go either. It was a mess outside, and everyone seemed very busy. They didn't see any other friends come out either.

Jia Zhen was eager to try playing by the river not far from the camp, but Jia Hu quickly stopped him.

There are too many uncertainties in the wild, and riverbanks are high-risk areas for accidents.

If we go to the river, and someone gets malicious, wouldn't we just become cannon fodder? We can't do this. My younger brother is still too young; he doesn't understand these things, he doesn't understand the wickedness of people!

Jia Hu was very cautious about coming out this time. When he was at home, someone wanted to kill him. Now that he was out, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to make a move?

No matter how many guards are around, they can't do whatever they want, especially with the young prince around. What if someone tries to take a gamble?

Situ Minghe also disagreed with going to the river. He knew that his younger brother Hu'er had fallen into the water before, and although the river didn't look wide, there might be danger.

Jia Zhen, of course, listened to his elder brother in everything; he wasn't worried about the river.

Both his older brother and he can swim. His older brother said he wasn't afraid, which is why he said he would go. Since his older brother doesn't want him to go, then he won't go.

Now we have nowhere to go, and the dinner party is still a long way off.

Situ Minghe thought for a moment,

"How about we go find my uncle to play with?"

With nowhere else to go, Jia Hu and Jia Zhen nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at Situ Yi's tent, there was no sound at all; it was quiet inside. The young prince winked at Jia Hu and the others, then tiptoed closer to the tent, intending to give his uncle a fright.
