Chapter 108 The old prime minister was moved
Su Liluo held the basket of lychees like a basket of gold ingots, and her walking pace was much lighter than before.
She now wanted to rush to the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion at the entrance of the palace so that she could throw off her sleeves and eat as much as she could.
Since arriving here, she has rarely been able to eat fresh and delicious southern fruits.
There was a chaotic debate in the main hall for a whole morning, which ended with Emperor Dongling ordering all officials to raise two million taels of silver within a month for disaster relief and canal digging.
After leaving the political palace and walking past the imperial wall, Long Yunxuan did not leave directly this time, but stood inside the palace gate waiting for Old Prime Minister Su.
"Master Grandfather."
Prime Minister Su is very old. Every day when he goes to court, several young officials follow him to help support him if he falls.
Upon being called out by Prince Rui, everyone including Old Prime Minister Su stopped and looked at Long Yunxuan who was standing on one side.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, are you calling me an old minister?"
"Exactly, Li Luo should have come out of the Qiankun Palace at this moment. She is going back to the Su Mansion today and has invited me to accompany her.
The king is specially here to greet you, grandfather, and say goodbye to you. If you don’t mind, you can also ride back to the palace with the two of us in the palace’s carriage. "
Old Prime Minister Su's eyes were as bright as fire, and he cupped his hands and whispered: "Oh, Your Highness, Prince Rui, this is a shame for me.
Your Highness's grandfather was the late emperor, how dare you, an old minister, mistakenly recognize him.
It is an honor for me and everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Rui back into the house. How can I dislike it? Your Highness, please lead the way and I will accompany you. "
Long Yunxuan's eyes didn't flash, and he smiled lightly and said: "Grandpa, what you said is wrong. Since you are the grandfather of the princess, you are also the grandfather of this king.
Grandfather, please come this way. "
After speaking, Long Yunxuan turned sideways, raised his arm and pointed to the west side outside the palace gate, and then made way for Old Prime Minister Su to go first to show respect.
Old Prime Minister Su felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but take another look at his upright grandson-in-law.
The previously cloudy and old-looking eyes finally slowly became as clear as the bright moon.
"Okay, okay! Your Highness, if you have this intention, I can rest assured..."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, but Long Yunxuan understood.
He was relieved that Su Liluo was truly handed over to him.
Walking behind Old Prime Minister Su, Su Liluo's bright smiling face flashed in Long Yunxuan's mind, and he couldn't help but move his thin lips and smiled silently.
"Grandpa, please slow down and be careful of the steps."
grandfather?
With a handkerchief hanging on one hand and a juicy lychee pinched in the other, Su Liluo was eating enthusiastically.
Suddenly she heard the familiar footsteps of Long Yunxuan, and before she could say hello to him, she heard his voice.
Raising her hand to lift the curtain on the carriage before the people outside, Su Liluo and Old Prime Minister Su looked at each other.
Isn't this old man the grandfather of the original owner - Prime Minister Su?
Why did Long Yunxuan invite him here?
Could it be because she said she wanted him to accompany her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion today! ?
After her soul left her body for three seconds, Su Liluo put the lychee in her hand into her mouth, picked up the handkerchief, wiped it randomly at the corner of her mouth, and stuffed it back into her sleeve.
She raised a perfect sweet smile and smiled at Old Prime Minister Su, revealing her small white teeth.
"Grandpa, I miss you so much!"
As soon as Prime Minister Su stepped onto the side of the carriage, he almost fell off without losing his balance.
He looked at Su Liluo's face and squinted his cloudy old eyes to see if he had seen the wrong person.
"Hey, grandpa misses you too!"
Seeing that it was indeed Su Liluo, he put his hand on Su Liluo's outstretched hand and slowly got into the carriage.
It's really no wonder that the old man, who is used to big scenes, was so surprised just now. It's really because his granddaughter hasn't acted like this with him for a long time.
In private, he and Mrs. Su also discussed this matter when they were together. Ever since he was a child, he had never acted like an elder like other people's grandfathers.
For Su Liluo, who did not have his mother by his side, the two old men tried their best to protect her. But I don’t know when the little granddaughter who used to love to sit on his lap and pull his beard when he was a child slowly began to love her. I started to distance myself from him.
Because of the marriage granted by Emperor Dongling before, Su Liluo finally drew a clear line with him, an old man, which really made Old Prime Minister Su secretly sad for a long time.
Su Liluo's voice, grandfather, almost made him burst into tears.
Helping Prime Minister Su sit up, Su Liluo directly selected a large and tender lychee, peeled it off with her own hands, and brought it to his mouth.
"Grandpa, try this, it's so sweet! The Queen Mother specially left it for me."
Old Prime Minister Su stared at the white and tender lychee meat that was brought to his mouth, and he was stunned again.
Long Yunxuan, who got into the carriage later, looked at Su Liluo's presentation of the treasure and smiled fondly.
"If your grandfather is a child, he will like sweets as much as you do?"
"Ah!? Grandpa, you don't like this?"
"I love eating, I love eating. I thank the princess for the reward."
Prime Minister Su tried his best to restrain his withered wrist, and took the lychee from Su Liluo's hand without shaking as much as possible, put it into his mouth and tasted it slowly.
His heart instantly felt as sweet as honey.
Fuzzy memories emerged in an instant.
"Xiao Liluo, come and see, what delicious food did your grandfather bring you?"
"It's osmanthus candy! Grandma, come here quickly. Grandpa brought osmanthus candy to Luo'er!"
"Really? That must be because our Luo'er is cute and smart... Well, let's taste it."
"Grandpa, grandma, you can also eat with Luo'er."
……
In the blink of an eye, the pink-and-white girl who was just a toddler had already married and became Princess Rui. She even picked up old bones and ate lychees for him.
That's great, that's great...
"You said that my grandfather doesn't like sweets, but you see that my grandfather is obviously very happy eating! Prince, come and have one too! Children only like sweets, and you are a child too!"
"Don't say it's sweet, as long as it's the princess you give me, it's poison, and I'll enjoy it..."
Old Prime Minister Su sat on the side of the carriage, looking in front of him with a pair of old gray eyes, laughing and joking. The extremely sweet Su Liluo and Long Yunxuan were very pleased, and his eye circles were faintly red.
