Chapter 556 Family Dinner
"Uncle, aunt.
This is the gift I picked for you."
Claire chose a close name, but she often called her Majesty and other formal names in private.
But today's atmosphere is obviously not suitable for formal names.
Franz moved the gift very attentively. In fact, there are many people doing this kind of hard work in the palace.
He just wants to show his presence.
Claire took out a book and gave it to Derek: "Uncle, I heard from Qin that you like reading books. Books carry civilization and increase wisdom. I hope you will always be wise."
Derrick took it with both hands. The cowhide cover looks very high-end. It is a social book that Derek has never read.
"I like it very much. I will study it carefully. Next time we have a chance, we can sit down and talk about this book." Derek expressed his joy and attached great importance to it.
Claire was very happy and gave the queen another pair of plush shoes.
"Auntie is not lacking in beauty, so I will send her a warmth. Now the weather is still very cold in the morning and evening. We women still need to pay attention to keeping our feet warm."
The two smiled at each other. This is indeed a little tacit understanding between women.
"I like it very much. Auntie has also prepared a gift for you. Remember to take it with you when you leave."
Then there are two little ones. The older one is ten years old this year, and the younger one is only eight years old.
The second child, Hans, is a compromise with Derek.
At this time, Hans looked at his future sister-in-law eagerly. He was still young and had no right to go out freely.
Every new person made him particularly curious.
Claire took the box and reminded him: "Let Hans open it himself!"
Hans wanted to grab it and couldn't wait to know what the gift was.
But looking at his father and then at his eldest brother, he didn't dare to move.
Until Claire handed him the box, he couldn't wait to open it.
A gun!
No one knew about the unexpected gift except Derek.
Hans was stunned. Although he had a gun class, he didn't have his own gun.
The palace was strictly controlled, and he was too young before, so it was not suitable for him to hold a gun.
"Oh my God! I love you, sister-in-law."
Hans jumped up with joy and couldn't wait to raise his gun and aim.
He didn't dare to point at anyone. The muzzle of the gun moved, passed through Franz, and pointed at the pillar next to him.
"Perfect, finely crafted, the gunsmith has good craftsmanship."
Although the little guy didn't have a gun, he had contact with many guns.
Of course, training guns are assembly line products, and the pursuit is not fine workmanship, but the general public.
Claire explained in a low voice: "Father gave Qin a gun, so I simply prepared one for Hans. You two brothers can go hunting when you have time."
Derrick looked at his daughter-in-law and suddenly laughed: "Two pistols are not enough for hunting. I'll ask someone to prepare a few more hunting rifles for you."
Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that this gift was a bit risky, but fortunately his father was not angry.
It was the turn of the youngest Gwen. She flashed her big eyes and waited expectantly for her gift.
As for the little princess's gift, Claire smiled with a bad taste. This was also the big head of today's gifts.
A full box.
Tiona didn't pay attention in advance, so she really didn't know what the gift was.
Seeing the box being moved over, she was very curious and secretly asked her husband: "What's the gift in the box?"
Derek smiled strangely. This little guy is the most troublesome. The youngest in the family is a girl, so naturally she has the most love.
Therefore, little Gwen enjoys certain privileges.
Qin Ye has mentioned it to Claire many times, so there is this special gift today.
Claire stood by the box and said seriously to the expectant little princess: "Gwen, learning can make you happy, and knowledge enriches your heart.
Skipping school is a very bad behavior, which will only make you a vulgar princess.
So I prepared a full set of materials for you, all of which I have used."
Claire opened the box, which was full of books and homework, and everyone's eyes were straight.
The temperament of the female academic bully came to her face, dazzling and making people dare not look directly.
Gwen blinked her eyes, probably thinking she was hallucinating.
Book?
What is this gift?
Am I having a nightmare! ?
No, I must be having a nightmare. Is this woman a devil?
The little princess's mind was seriously polluted. It was the first time someone dared to pile homework in front of her.
Snap!
Franz cried out in pain and looked at his little cousin in confusion. What are you doing?
"Does it hurt, cousin Franz? I want to see if I am dreaming."
Fuck, Franz's face was distorted. If you are not a princess, I will let you know what cruelty is.
Unfortunately, Gwen is really a princess.
Franz could only force a smile: "It hurts, this is not a dream."
Gwen's legs were fast and hid behind Derek: "Father, I don't want this gift, take it away quickly."
Although Derek doted on his daughter, sometimes he couldn't do it, but... it was time to discipline her properly.
"Just accept the gift for you. When Claire is free, I will send you to her place to play and study hard."
Gwen raised her head and couldn't believe that this was what her father who doted on her the most said. This must be a dream.
Damn Franz, you dare to lie to me in a dream.
Gwen sat down angrily, of course she knew this was not a dream.
Although the little guy doesn't like reading, he is very smart.
The biggest backer has spoken, there is definitely no room for resistance, so just stop acting.
After a lot of laughter, everyone became familiar with each other.
It was agreed to be a family dinner, so of course it was necessary to eat.
At a long table, the emperor and his wife sat together, Qin and Claire on the left, and Hans and Gwen on the right.
Franz occupied one side alone, trembling.
Facing His Majesty the Emperor directly, it was indeed very stressful.
The dishes came up one after another, all of which were extremely exquisite delicacies. The Augusta family was not like some royal families who ate cold dishes every day.
"Claire, we will not interfere with your relationship with Qin, but this kid has been growing up in the palace for many years. Although he has learned a lot, he is actually very naive sometimes. Thank you for your tolerance." Derek chatted while eating.
Claire glanced at Qin and chuckled: "Qin is not naive, but just a little idealistic. It would be better if he had more experience."
Qin was a little dissatisfied and chewed a mouthful of beef fiercely, as if venting his dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Tiona was secretly angry, this fool.
"Claire, when will you tell your parents about your relationship?"
Although Qin had been to her house, his identity had been kept secret.
Tiona was worried that if she kept it a secret for too long, the other party's parents would have some ideas after knowing it.
Of course, she didn't care, but she had to consider her daughter-in-law's feelings.
Claire answered directly this time: "Anytime, this is not something shameful, just find a chance to communicate."
