Chapter 18: Father and Daughter
The leader was wearing a black trimmed collared long-sleeved robe, covered with a crimson and dark flower stand-up collar cloak, looking like a personable scholar, but the bloody aura on his body was even more exposed against the background of the black and red clothes.
Qiu Xue hugged the cloak and leaned over a little awkwardly and said, "Master." ”
waited until this person passed in front of her before she straightened up and stood behind Li Yuwei.
Li Yuwei nodded at him, which was a greeting. Although he imprisoned himself here, he entertained himself with delicious food and drink after all, and eating and drinking were not ordinary, so he was not exaggerated.
The most important thing is that although this person is too angry, Li Yuwei has only seen two times without realizing the slightest bit of his hostility towards him, on the contrary, how much flattery he has towards himself?
But hopefully she's thinking too much......
Du Yixuan saw that Li Yuwei was not as wary of herself as she was when she met for the first time, so she was naturally overjoyed, and her voice was not aware of some warmth, and ordered: "Go make a pot of tea, and ask for Longjing before the rain." ”
Qiu Yu, who followed him, took the order.
Li Yuwei didn't say anything more, just turned around and walked towards the pavilion, who knew that Du Yixuan also followed her and sat down in the pavilion.
"Stand down." Du Yixuan said to Qiu Yu, who brought the tea, "Just let the tea cup go, and I'll do the rest by myself." ”
Chen Yonggu and Qiu Xue and Qiu Yu quickly left the pavilion but did not go far, just stood to the side from a distance.
Du Yixuan said to Li Yuwei at this time: "I guess you have a lot of questions, and when it's time to tell you, I didn't tell you before, it was completely out of concern for your body." ”
Yesterday, the doctor told him that Li Yuwei's body is very healthy, and the child is growing well. And then he couldn't wait to come over today.
Li Yuwei stared at the gorgeous begonia flowers in the distance, and Du Yixuan followed her gaze and also saw the bewitching begonias.
"This is your mother's favorite flower, and she planted it when she lived here, but she only planted one with her own hands." Du Yixuan put his gaze back on Li Yuwei, looked at her firmly, and said, "You are my daughter." ”
There was irrepressible joy in his tone.
However, seeing Li Yuwei's expressionless face, he took out a jade pendant.
"You should have seen this from your mother, this is the treasure of the Heavenly Demon Alliance." As he spoke, he put this piece of jade mellow mutton fat jade pendant in front of Li Yuwei.
In fact, as early as when Du Yixuan said that Li Wan had lived here, she had a faint feeling that something seemed to be squirting out of her chest; When he confessed that she was his daughter, only the clenched hand hidden in the wide sleeves could puncture her superficial lies.
Li Yuwei's eyes focused on the jade pendant, what he said was right, since she had a memory, Li Wan had been carrying it close to her, how could she not be familiar with it!
Holding the jade pendant with trembling hands, the slightly cool jade pendant seemed to burn her hand, and went straight to her heart through her five fingers.
Li Yuwei didn't want to be hypocritical, after all, the person in front of her was her biological father who she had been looking for for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out, since he could remember his mother and remember him, why hadn't he appeared in the past ten years!
"Why?" Li Yuwei rubbed the jade pendant in her hand, looked at the bright begonia flowers in the distance and asked him.
"My affairs with her are a bit complicated, if I talk about it in detail, I'm afraid it will be a long story......"
Li Yuwei interrupted suddenly, her voice a little cold, "Then speak slowly, I'm not in a hurry." ”
A pavilion, two people, one speaks, one listens. It seems that in the whole world and the earth, there is only a melodious and frustrated voice, and Li Yuwei's thoughts are also flying between heaven and earth with Du Yixuan's majestic voice.
*Rikkeijeon*
Shen Yunqian took off the heavy queen's regular clothes, changed into a set of ink-colored satin robes, and said to him: "Today, the emperor will be blocked in the Qinzheng Palace, and your task is to stop the concubines who come to ask for peace." ”
Last time, Shen Yunqian didn't succeed in leaving the palace, because a certain minister who was responsible for blocking Emperor Yongding had slow legs and feet, and he didn't catch up with Emperor Yongding.
This time she learned a lesson, and when she went down to the court, someone would block Emperor Yongding.
Ruyan tidied up Shen Yunqian's robe and said, "Niangniang, when will you come back?" ”
"Come back before the sun goes down, if there is any accident, find a way to let my good sister help me pester the emperor."
"No." Ruyan said uneasily: "Then Niangniang, you are careful." ”
The corners of Shen Yunqian's mouth raised, "This is nature." ”
Then Shen Yunqian quickly disappeared from the sight of smoke. I saw that she came out of the back door of the main hall of the Lizheng Hall and then flashed into the west hall, and then passed through the dark passage under the floor tiles, and when she saw the dazzling sunlight again, she had already come to the west corner of the imperial garden of the Qi Palace.
Because of the convenience of carrying water and watering flowers, the palace eunuchs opened a diversion canal of about three or four meters to direct water from the moat outside the palace to water the flowers.
After this aqueduct was discovered by Shen Yunqian, it became a convenient passage for her to travel between inside and outside the palace, and her correspondence with Shen Xixuan was also through this aqueduct.
The west corner of the Imperial Garden, which was originally uninhabited, was even quieter at this time, with occasional two insect chirpings and bird calls.
Shen Yun swam out of the palace with ease, then turned around and entered a private house, changed his clothes again, and went out through the back door. Walk through a few alleys and enter a four-way house again.
This mansion was one of Shen Yunqian's mother's dowries, and then it was opened up to her father's study.
The three door rings behind the bookshelf interrupted the Shen family father and son, Shen Xixuan and Shen Yiting, who were talking.
They looked at each other and were stunned, Shen Yunqian should be waiting in the palace for the concubines to ask for peace at this hour, how could he come back? Isn't something happening again?
Shen Yiting picked up the clean cotton cloth placed aside, walked quickly, pressed the switch, and handed the cotton cloth over when he saw Shen Yunqian.
Shen Xixuan glanced at his daughter who was wiping her hair, and said with a slight reproach: "Seeing that winter is about to begin, how can you come here regardless of your body, how cold is the water of the moat!" ”
Then he said to Shen Yiting: "Burn the stove and roast your sister." ”
Shen Yunqian put down the half-wet cotton cloth and said: "I am always unsteady in my heart, and I vaguely feel that something is going to happen, and I will not feel at ease if I don't come back to see me." ”
"Isn't the day of entering the palace once a month to say goodbye soon? You can't wait for a few days? Shen Xixuan obviously can't accept her daughter's words, she just doesn't take her body seriously!
He was still puffing up, but being able to see his daughter made him a little angry, but Shen Yunqian's next sentence made him completely angry.
"Dad, Xiaoting, I'm pregnant."
Shen Xixuan and Shen Yiting were both surprised, and Shen Xixuan said: "You are pregnant and still such nonsense!" Next time you dare to do this, believe it or not, I sealed the secret passage! ”
Shen Yiting was obviously more calm than his father, and asked sharply: "This is the reason why everything is ahead of schedule?" ”
Shen Yunqian nodded and said, "Dad, don't be angry. I was worried that the people below me would not be able to pass on the message, so I thought I would come back to meet you and my brother. ”
Shen Xixuan still snorted coldly, twisting his neck angrily and not looking at her.
"This child came really suddenly, and I just knew that it was not a few days, and it would take a while for the imperial doctor to come to check the pulse, so I kept it a secret during this period."
Shen Yiting took a mink blanket and wrapped Shen Yunqian, "You can't be infected with wind and cold, it's not good to give it to the child." ”
Shen Xixuan said: "You see that your younger brother knows that the wind and cold can't be given to the child, and you are still messing around!" ”
Since he was a child, Shen Xixuan has never said a few heavy words about Shen Yunqian, and he really doesn't know what to say except for messing around.
The whole mink blanket wrapped Shen Yunqian tightly, leaving only one head outside, such a funny appearance made people really can't imagine that this would be the mother of a country! Shen Yunqian said pitifully: "Dad, I was wrong, I won't do it again next time." ”
Shen Xixuan glared at her again, but didn't say anything. Suddenly remembered the point, his daughter is pregnant! He asked, "How did you get pregnant at this point?" ”
Shen Yunqian explained: "The emperor changed the spices, it should be a chaos in the court, and he is ready to reuse our Shen family." Especially Xiaoting, you can't be careless, you must gain his absolute trust. ”
Shen Yiting nodded and said: "I also talked to my father about the Spring Festival just now, which coincided with the fact that the **** of the imperial court had just stabilized, and the personnel of all the departments in the court and the central government were more or less lacking. ”
Shen Yunqian said: "Father, how are things arranged?" ”
"Although the matter is urgent, after all, we have been preparing for a little ten years, and we will not make mistakes. Your situation in the palace will also be more tricky, so be careful. Tell me and your brother what happened. ”
Shen Yiting looked at Shen Xixuan with some doubts, seeing that he didn't mention it, thinking that his father should be afraid that Shen Yunqian would be worried, so he went on to say, "Sister, in that case, you should also take back the power of the six palaces, and my second sister should have had enough." ”
Shen Yiting is usually serious, and rarely listens to him say something funny, Shen Yun smiled lightly and said: "Xiao Ting, don't underestimate your second sister, there are a lot of her people in my palace." ”
Shen Yiting sneered: "Then aren't you smarter than her?" ”
Shen Xixuan estimated the time and said, "You go back to the palace early, so as not to be discovered, everything is fine here." ”
Shen Yiting also followed: "Exactly, sister, if you have anything to do with me, just explain it to me directly, and you can raise the baby with peace of mind after returning to the palace." ”
Shen Yunqian looked at his father and brother like this, and knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he stopped thinking and said, "Then I'll go back today, Dad, you pay more attention to your body, Xiaoting, you ......."
Shen Yiting helped her up and half-pushed her, "Good sister, don't worry about me and my father, take good care of yourself." ”
Without waiting for her to speak, he closed the secret passage.
Then he looked at Shen Xixuan with a worried face, "Father, is it okay for us to hide it from my sister?" ”
