Chapter 197 Testing
Situ Yi asked someone to prepare some of the children's favorite foods.
"The Emperor has ordered the preparation of a banquet, saying that the time is tight and it will take a long time to prepare since it will be held outside."
There will be too many people and too much noise tonight; I'm afraid we won't be able to have a proper meal.
You should have something to eat first; children get hungry quickly, and they might feel unwell later.
The three expressed their gratitude, and Situ Yi smiled gently. Today, his uncle was too gentle, which made Situ Minghe feel a little uncomfortable.
Jia Hu slowly ate the pastry, thinking to himself,
There's something off about this way of addressing me.
Why is this uncle calling the Emperor directly? Shouldn't he be calling him "Father Emperor" or at least "Father"?
But to be allowed to accompany him on the southern tour, he must be very favored! And his relationship with the young prince is so good; it shouldn't be like that.
Jia Hu was full of doubts, and he felt that Situ Yi didn't really want to appear so gentle.
This is quite different from what I saw at my maternal grandparents' house last time. Back then, it felt cold and dangerous, unlike the gentle atmosphere I feel now.
It's impossible for someone's entire demeanor to change just because they've become a godparent; there must be something wrong with that person.
Situ Yi heard this unexpected remark again and frowned slightly.
I heard it again, but I still don't understand why I heard it.
It seems Minghe still didn't hear it, so it has nothing to do with the system recognizing godparents. Then why can he hear it?
This proves that Jia Hu is not so simple; he even has to think about the meaning behind his own words.
This is clearly someone observing me. But this is only the second time I've met him. Why is Jia Hu paying so much attention to me?
Situ Minghe noticed that his uncle was frowning and not eating anything.
They thoughtfully handed over a snack.
"My uncle also ate something, but he was annoyed by the large number of people at the dinner party."
Situ Yi took the pastries and smiled:
"You've turned around and are concerned about me now. It has nothing to do with the dinner party; I just remembered something."
You may also use some, but in moderation; don't use too much, as there will be a banquet later.
After they had eaten, they chatted for a while. During the conversation, Situ Yi knew that Jia Hu was wary of him and that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so he continued to chat about local customs and traditions without saying anything special to Jia Hu.
This made Jia Hu much more relaxed, and he could finally relax and listen to Situ Yi talk about local customs and traditions. It turned out that Situ Yi really knew a lot.
I am different from him. In modern society, with advanced internet access, I can know about the scenery of various places even without leaving home, not to mention that I have been to many places.
Back then, my main approach was budget travel. I would visit tourist attractions in different places without spending much money, and experience the local culture. That was a great idea.
But when I try to explain it myself, it feels dry and I can't really say anything meaningful.
Hearing Situ Yi describe it is completely different, making one want to see it for oneself.
Situ Yi is also a prince. At such a young age, he probably hasn't been there before. So how does he know so much about it?
The question was quickly answered. Situ Yi explained that what he had said was from his teachers or from reading various travelogues. He was very fortunate to be able to see it for himself during his southern tour.
What Situ Yi said was indeed the truth. He didn't have such great ambitions. He just wanted his elder brother, the Crown Prince, to ascend the throne as soon as possible and for the Emperor to abdicate!
