Chapter 66-2: Entanglement (II)
When I went back to the house, I saw my baby holding the bear peacefully, sleeping soundly on my bed, and I put down my hanging heart, I wanted to go to see the old man again, but An Yuanxi said that the old man didn't sleep all night, and he just fell asleep in the morning, so it was better not to disturb him. I nodded, I didn't sleep all night, and when my spirit relaxed, I couldn't hold it anymore, and told Xiaohong and the maids not to quarrel with me, so I climbed into bed, hugged Nuo'er, and fell asleep for a while, not even dreaming.
It was only at dusk that I was woken up by Noor. The little guy writhed in my arms, and I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Noor's cute little face close at hand, and her dark eyes stared at me without blinking: "Mother's ......"
"Baby......" I put my hand around him, lay flat on the bed, and put him on top of me, "when did the baby wake up?" ”
"Where did my mother go?" The little guy crawled on me aggrievedly, looking like he was going to cry, "The baby can't find his mother, I'm afraid of ......"
"Don't be afraid, aren't you afraid, isn't my mother here?" I hugged him tightly and coaxed softly, "Don't cry, baby, my mother's Nuo'er is a brave child, as brave as Peter Pan......"
"Well, babies are as brave as Peter Pan! Babies don't cry! When Noel heard Peter Pan, she tried to hold back the tears in her eyes, blinking and blinking but refusing to fall, I smiled and said, "Yes, my mother's baby is Peter Pan......"
"The baby is very brave, when can the baby go to Neverland?" Noel began to ask him questions again. Ever since he was told the story of Peter Pan, his favorite thing to do is to play Peter Pan, and his favorite question to ask is when can he go to Neverland. I smiled and hugged him: "Wait for the baby to grow up a little more...... "Every child has a Neverland in their hearts, No'er, my baby, when you grow up, you can freely swim all over the famous mountains and rivers, my mother hopes that you can do what you like and go to the Neverland of your dreams."
"When will the baby grow up...... "Noel asked in a milky voice. I smiled and stroked his eyebrows, which looked like clouds, and whispered: "The baby is growing up every day, and he will grow up soon......"
Xiaohong heard the voice of our mother and son, and turned into the inner room: "Sister is awake?" ”
"Wake up, what time is it?" I said lazily. Xiaohong said: "It's three o'clock in the unitary, does my sister want to sleep for a while?" ”
"Ah, don't sleep, it's time to go to grandpa's for dinner." I sat up with Nuo'er in my arms, "Peter Pan, get up, go with my mother to have dinner with my grandfather." ”
"Hmm." Noel nodded obediently. Xiaohong called the nurse to come in and take Nuo'er to freshen up, and I quickly got out of bed to wash and get dressed. When I packed up and took Nuo'er to the old man's place, I saw that the old man and An Yuanxi were already sitting at the dining table waiting for us, so I sat down embarrassedly: "I'm sorry grandpa, I slept too long." ”
"I told them not to quarrel with you." The old man smiled gently, and didn't immediately ask me what I was doing in the palace, "Let's eat." ”
For the rest of my life, being able to sit with my family and have a peaceful meal made me feel that this moment was particularly precious. "Uncle, prawns......" Nuo'er shouted happily, pointing to the boiled shrimp on the plate. I don't know if it's because of the desire for father's love, this child has been very close to An Yuanxi since he was a child, and since he started to have dinner with us in the old man's room, he likes to sit next to An Yuanxi and talk to him. An Yuanxi smiled and peeled a shrimp for him, his shrimp peeling skills are very clever, peeling off three pieces of armor at the shrimp head, squeezing out the shrimp meat, the shrimp shell and head are still connected, put it on the plate as if it has not been eaten. Nuo'er's eyes widened in admiration, and An Yuanxi fed the shrimp meat to his mouth: "Is it delicious?" ”
"Delicious...... Nuo'er chewed the shrimp meat, responded vaguely, and smiled at An Yuanxi, An Yuanxi looked at him gently, his eyes were full of doting. I watched this scene sourly, no matter how well I did and how much I loved Noor, I had to admit that the love I gave to Noel was always incomplete, and mother's love could not replace father's love. Yun Zheng, you throw me the responsibility that belongs to you, I can't do it well, I can't do it at all...... After eating this dinner with all kinds of tastes, the old man left me to talk. An Yuanxi went out with Nuo'er in his arms, and the subordinates quickly packed up the plates, served hot tea, and lightly closed the door and exited the room. I told the old man everything that happened in the palace, biting my lip and saying, "Grandpa, King Jing has finally fallen!" I really want to see him executed......"
The prince of the royal family, even if he commits the great crime of plotting to usurp the throne, will leave the whole corpse, and will not get to the vegetable market to behead the public. The old man patted my hands: "That scene is not pretty. ”
I took a breath and thought for a while: "Grandpa, you said that the emperor let me enter the palace yesterday, did you want to coerce the Yun family not to interfere in King Jing's affairs?" Will the emperor ......?"
"It's not a matter of one or two days for him to be afraid of the Yun family." The old man smiled, looked at me meaningfully, and said, "However, wouldn't it be more effective to coerce the Yun family and carry Nuo'er into the palace?" You're so smart, can't you figure it out? ”
I frowned, and the old man sighed lightly: "King Jing forced the palace to rebel, on the surface, it seems that the imperial city is the most dangerous place, but he laid a net and waited for King Jing to take the bait, and he knew very well in his heart that in fact, the palace was the safest place, at least safer than outside the imperial city, which was full of soldiers, do you know how many ordinary people's homes in the capital were looted last night?" Even the Hou Mansion was broken into by the stragglers...... Girl, he also cares about you, and he still wants to protect you at this time......"
"Grandpa......" I felt uneasy. Is that so? The old man actually thinks that the emperor summoned him to the palace to protect me? Then I didn't misunderstand the emperor's painstaking efforts, but what did the old man mean by spreading the words out like this? Are you afraid that I will be entangled with the emperor and ruin the style? Or is it reminding me, or is the Emperor's other look available to me?
The old man was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Girl, you are a person who values love, and you keep in mind whoever treats you well." But I want you to remember that he has a heart for you, just for you, and this heart will not extend to the Yun family, or even Nuo'er. When he doesn't tolerate the Yun family, he won't make decisions that harm his interests because of you, do you understand? ”
I trembled slightly, the old man soberly pointed out this fact, the Yun family and the emperor can never coexist, no matter how much the emperor indulges me, he will not mess up the chess game because of me. I also talked to him in the palace, saying that he was a chess player, how could he be in the game and forget that he was also a chess piece. I closed my eyes: "I understand, grandpa. ”
"We stayed in the capital for too long, and now that King Jing has fallen, we don't have anything to worry about here." The old man said lightly, "Now that the south is occupied by the Nine Kings, there is chaos everywhere, and when the imperial court solves this matter and the road is safe, let's ask for a decree to return to Cangdu, in the final analysis, Cangdu is the fief of the Yun family." It's far away from the court, it's safer in the end. ”
"Yes, Grandpa." I'm deferential. Yes, stay away from the court, in a safe corner, and no longer need to get involved in these inexplicable disputes, so that the emperor can let down his guard a little, right? When I exited the room and looked at the bright sunset under the sky, my chest was inexplicably tangled, and I couldn't breathe.
