After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 178 This is your birthday gift from your father

Hearing this, several people stood up.

However, due to the presence of Prince Rui, everyone was a little restrained. They all stood aside with their backs straight and serious faces. Even the three youngest children, although very curious about Prince Rui, stood aside in silence and allowed their brothers to pull them along.

Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Qi You felt a little unhappy. He didn't want this man to come.

Qi Heng naturally noticed the unusual atmosphere. Seeing that his son was not at all surprised by his arrival and even seemed a little impatient, Qi Heng felt a little depressed and a little disappointed. However, when he thought about the fact that he had not celebrated his birthday for him every year, no, he even didn't remember his birthday, he did feel a little guilty.

"I am here today to give Xiaowu a birthday present. I will leave after I give it to him as I have some things to deal with." Qi Heng forced a smile, and his words were obviously directed to Qiao's mother and the others.

Qiao Rongjin and Qiao's mother didn't know what to say for a moment. They just watched Qi Heng turn around and walk towards Qi You.

"Time flies. You've reached the age to go to school. You're a big boy now. Your father hopes that you will have a safe and smooth life and a happy birthday." After he finished speaking, he motioned for Wang Fuyang to bring the things forward.

"This is your birthday gift from your father. Take it."

Everyone present had their own thoughts about King Rui's words.

When Mother Qiao saw this, she was happy. After all, from what she saw today, it seemed that Prince Rui did not ignore You'er as the outside world rumored. You'er still had a place in his heart. After all, he was his own biological child, so how could he really not care about him?

Only if You'er is well, can her daughter be well. In places like the royal family, mothers have always been honored by their sons. She hopes that both her daughter and children will be well, so that she can worry less.

Hearing this, Qi You raised his eyes and glanced at the tall man in front of him. Seeing that he had a serious expression and gentle eyes, he was a little dazed for a moment.

This kind of expression would never appear on him in his previous life. When facing himself, this man was always indifferent and disgusted. Now, the way he looked at himself became the same as the way he looked at his other brothers. He was not surprised at all, and his heart was calm and not disturbed at all.

Taking the exquisite box, Qi You said, "Thank you, father."

Seeing that he didn't even open it to take a look, and didn't look happy at all, but just thanked him in a calm manner, Qi Heng would be lying if he said he wasn't disappointed, because he had carefully selected this birthday gift himself.

This brat!

Even though I was so obviously close to him, he seemed like he never felt it. Or maybe he did feel it, but just didn't care. He always kept a distance from me. No matter what I did, he really had a hard heart.

As expected, he is Ajin's son, his temperament is exactly the same as hers!

Although he felt sad, he also knew that it was his fault. He had neglected the child, which led to the child having a grudge against him. No, it shouldn't be a grudge. It should be said that Xiaowu completely treated him as a stranger.

Qi Heng suppressed the discomfort in his heart and said to Qiao Rongjin with a forced smile, "Ah Jin, I will leave first. Please treat me well."

Seeing that Qiao Rongjin looked calm and didn't seem to have any intention of keeping him, Qi Heng felt a little heartbroken.

There has never been a moment when she understood so clearly that Ah Jin would not want to be present in such a warm occasion as today, because deep down, Ah Jin completely regarded herself as an outsider, not a family member who could celebrate her son's birthday together.

The next second, without waiting for Qiao Rongjin to speak, he took Wang Fuyang and left quickly.

The footsteps were so fast that Qiao Rongjin felt like they were running away.

Qiao Rongjin sneered and forgot about Qi Heng. He turned to the younger ones and said with a smile, "Why are you all here? And you came so quickly."

Hearing this, Qiao Jiuyuan and the others all looked towards Qi You.

Qi You was still holding the box in his hand. Upon hearing this, he said, "Sister Zhu Yun told me."

When Zhu Yun sensed that the Yunshen Pavilion of the Rui Dynasty was coming, he immediately went to inform his master, which was why they were able to arrive so quickly.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Rongjin nodded. It was not surprising. She felt that Zhu Yun was a person with the ability to see and hear from afar. She could tell when someone was far away.

"Well, there's still some time before dinner. Go play your own things first. I'll call you over when the time comes."

"Hey? Wait!" Upon hearing this, Qiao's mother quickly signaled to the maid beside her, and then the maid brought a bundle over.

Qiao Rongjin and Qi You, mother and son, looked at Qiao's mother curiously.

Then, Qiao's mother took out a set of clothes and a pair of shoes she had made for Qi You from her bag, and even a tiger-head hat. It was the same color as the clothes, both made of royal blue brocade embroidered with cloud patterns. It looked exquisite and grand, with excellent workmanship, and it was obvious that much thought was put into it.

"You'er, this is made by your grandmother herself. I hope you have a happy birthday and get everything you want in your life."

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin's eyes turned red and he quickly turned to the side to hold back his tears.

She understood that this was also Qiao's mother's wish for her.

Qi You quickly lowered his head, his eyes feeling a little hot.

He got what he wanted in his life! This is the best blessing, but in this life, he has already got what he wanted.

Qi You looked at his mother and saw that the corners of her eyes were slightly red. He smiled at her, a happy and joyful smile.

Seeing this, Qiao Rongjin smiled and said, "Why don't you thank grandma quickly? Look, grandma is so old, but she still sews clothes for you personally. You should be happy about it. Your mother and I don't even have this kind of treatment."

The following sentence is a bit sour.

After saying this, Qiao's mother glared at her with amusement.

Liu and Murong covered their mouths and laughed secretly. This little sister is really cute. Why is she so jealous now?

Qi You quickly took the bundle from his grandmother's hand, his little face showing visible happiness, "Thank you for the birthday gift, grandma."

"Hey! There's no need to say these things to grandma." Mother Qiao hugged Qi You and kissed him for a while, and then Qi You was surrounded by his two aunts and several cousins.

"Cousin, this is a slingshot I give you. I made it myself." This is Qiao Jiuyuan.

"Cousin, this is a clay figurine. You've probably never played with it before, right? You can blow it to make a sound." This is the fourth child, Qiao Jiuchao.

"Cousin, this is carved by me personally and given to you." This is the third brother Qiao Jiusong, and the figure he carved is Qi You.

Qi You took it and took a look, and was instantly amazed, "Is this me? It looks like it!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Rongjin and Qiao's mother and others nearby immediately leaned over to take a look.
