Chapter 4 Why Do You Want a Brother?
The sound of steady and powerful footsteps approaching, and across the wall, Xiao Mumu felt the deterrent force, he was startled, turned around, bowed his head and bent over, ready to sneak away.
"Squeak!"
The Changxuan window suddenly opened from the inside, and then a surprised exclamation came from behind.
"What are you doing?"
Father!
That's the voice of my father!
It's been discovered!
Xiao Mumu shook his head, his little short legs walked faster, and he wanted to run back and digest it.
But......
He only felt a powerful suction behind him, and a whoosh pulled him back.
"Ahh
He flew upside down!
Then it fell into a generous embrace with a thud.
Xiao Mumu opened his mouth and drooped his head in despair—hey, he's still caught! Why is he so easy to be caught every time!
"Where do you want to run again?" the voice above his head was still cold, serious, with a majesty that could not be ignored, "You still have a burden on your body? Are you running away from home?"
The plan was exposed, Xiao Mumu was a little panicked, and struggled weakly, "Father, you let me down!"
"Confess first!" Those big hands are dead, where does it look like they will release people.
Xiao Mumu also knew his father's temper, so naturally he didn't dare to disobey, he pursed his lips, like a frosted eggplant, and muttered in a low voice, "Erchen didn't ...... Erchen just wants to go out for a walk!"
"Scattered, even your private money has been taken away, is this a plan not to come back?" The burden was taken away, and when he looked up, he saw his father's face cloudy and rainy, and his voice was squeezed out of his teeth.
Xiao Mumu knew at a glance that this was a sign that his father was angry, and he wittily rolled his big eyes, and then pulled a dog-legged smile.
"Hehe, father, you misunderstood Erchen! Actually, Erchen just misses you and his mother, and wants to come and live with you! Erchen lives alone in the East Palace, it's too lonely!"
According to his experience, if he is generally coquettish, his father will lose his temper, and naturally he will not be counted.
However, this time, what he never expected was that his father would not eat this set, and after listening to him explain this reason, his father's face was still dark, and he snorted with displeasure.
"Didn't you say that the queen mother can't control you? You don't want anyone? What are you doing in Ziluan Palace? Is it because your queen mother is not sick enough?"
Xiao Mumu hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no! Erchen didn't think so! Erchen said that at the time, but he just ...... It's just a moment of anger! Erchen really didn't say that he didn't want the queen mother and the emperor!"
He didn't mean to make his mother angry, and he knew that he was wrong afterwards, but for the sake of face, he couldn't pull his face.
And just now he heard the conversation between his father and the queen mother, and he was so happy that he wished to be by their side forever, where would he want to go?!
He saw that his father was still silent, and he was a little stunned in his heart, he pouted, tugged at his father's clothes, and was pitifully coquettish, "Father, the son really didn't mean it, the son knows it's wrong, don't you be angry with the son, okay? You let the queen mother not be angry, okay? Father ......."
"Do you really know it's wrong?" At this time, the father was willing to bow his head to look at him, and he immediately nodded obediently, as fast as pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, the son really knows that he is wrong, father, can you forgive me!"
"There is no point in apologizing to your father, if you really know that you are wrong, then admit your mistake to your mother in person. His father put him on the ground and motioned for him to go inside to find his mother.
He tugged at the corners of his coat and stared down at the toes of his shoes clinging to the grass clippings, hesitated, hesitated.
He knew that he had broken his mother's heart, and that the queen mother was sick, and he didn't know how to admit his mistakes, and he didn't know if his mother would not forgive him.
If the queen mother really doesn't forgive him, then what will he do?
Little by little, time passed.
He stood stupidly in place, and his father also stood with him, not urging or speaking.
I don't know how long it has been, he gritted his teeth, and was about to go in, when there were a few coughing sounds from inside, followed by a weak inquiry.
"What's wrong? who's coming?"
Xiao Mumu suddenly became nervous, looked up at his father, and his father glanced at him, and then replied in a very gentle tone, "It's Xiao Mumu who came, and he said that he wanted to find you to admit his mistake." ”
"Oh. ”
The queen mother has only a simple syllable, cold without a trace of temperature.
Xiao Mumu lowered his eyes in frustration, look! The queen mother is really angry, and she doesn't want to deal with him!
But the next moment, he immediately saw hope, and he heard a gentle voice from inside, "Since you're here, let's come in!"
The Queen Mother told him to come in!
Does that prove that she's deflated!
Xiao Mumu's eyes radiated with brilliance, his face welled up with ecstasy, and he looked at his father excitedly, "Father, did you hear that?" The queen mother called her son in, and she didn't seem to be so angry. ”
The emperor's eyes were vaguely full of joy, and he encouraged: "Then you still don't go?"
"Ahh
The curtain hung low on the ground, and the windows on all sides were not opened, sealed and dark, and there was a smell of medicine.
Xiao Mumu walked in, and he coughed a few times because of the smell of medicine, the light was not very good, he couldn't see what the person on the bed looked like, but the silhouette looked a lot thinner.
His nose was slightly sore, and he felt even more sad and guilty at the thought of his already thin queen mother falling ill for him.
"Queen Mother...... I'm sorry. ”
He walked over to the bed and knelt down with a pop.
"Hey, why are you kneeling, get up!" There was also movement on the bed, and soon a pair of snow-white gentle hands helped him up, and he looked up vaguely with teary eyes, and he was still greeted by that young and beautiful face.
Once, he felt ironic, but now, he saw an incomparably tender maternal love.
This is his mother!
Although the previous queen mother is no longer there, the father said that the soul has landed on the current young queen mother.
Well, this is his real mother! He is not a child without a mother!
......The more he thought of this, the more he cried so much that he couldn't seem to say anything except shouting "Queen Mother" in his mouth.
"Hey, you stupid boy, why are you crying?" the queen mother gently held him in her arms, and the fragrant smell penetrated into her nose, so familiar that she could not forget.
Yes!
That's the taste!
That's what he smells when he sleeps at night!
The queen mother really went to see him at night, the queen mother was not angry at all, even if he hurt her heart, she still loved him so much!
But he ...... And what did he do?
"Wow, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong!"
He didn't know what else he could do, and he didn't know how else to make his mother more comfortable.
"Xiao Mumu, what did you say?"
He repeated, "I said I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked like that, I shouldn't have said that you are not my biological mother and can't care about me, in fact, in fact, I have heard it all, I know that you are my mother!"
The air fell silent.
The queen mother stopped moving, still maintaining the comforting gesture of hugging him, but she couldn't say a word.
When he looked up, he saw that the queen mother's eyes were full of tears, and he also cried and raised his hand to wipe her tears.
"Don't cry Queen Mother, it's all my fault, I shouldn't make you angry, Queen Mother, I won't be in the future, never again......"
"Good boy!"
He was held hard in his arms by the queen mother, so tight, so urgent.
He knew that the queen mother really loved him!
In the future, he will never be disobedient again, he must honor her well and make her happy!
That's his promise!
Although the boy is small, he is also a man of his word!
*
A month later, Yuan Shizi was full moon.
Xiao Mumu followed him out of the palace to attend the banquet, after the last incident, he had a better relationship with the queen mother, almost inseparable, and at his begging, the queen mother also agreed to let him move to Ziluan Palace to live, and only move to the East Palace when he grew up.
The father seemed a little unhappy and proposed to the queen mother, but the queen mother insisted, and the father didn't say anything.
Through this incident, he is even more sure that the queen mother is the person who loves him the most, and even his father is not as good as her!
On the day of the full moon, he finally hugged Hani, although Darling was reluctant.
Looking at the little doll in his arms, looking at Darling's sassy appearance, he began to have the idea of wanting a younger brother again.
That night, when he returned to the palace, he directly mentioned the matter to his mother.
After listening to his suggestion, the queen mother was stunned for a moment, and asked him, "Why does Xiao Mumu want a younger brother?"
He said bluntly, "Because Darling has!, so do I!"
"Then will you love your brother?" asked the queen mother, "can you promise that you will love him at all times and not let him be hurt?"
He thought it was so strange for the queen mother, why did he ask that? He just thought it was fun to have a younger brother, and he didn't think about it that much!
"Will you share with your brother the love of your mother and your father, your toys, your everything?" asked the queen again.
It was stumbling on him.
If, with a younger brother, the father and queen mother will love him a little less, then he still doesn't want to!
However, if he is not willing to share, then he will not have a younger brother.....
Ah!
That's a tough choice!
For this reason, he racked his brains to think about this problem, and in the end, there was still no result.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for Darling to enter the palace, he quietly asked, "How does it feel to have a younger brother?
Darling rolled his eyes and replied in a very strange tone, "They must still love me! Although, occasionally, I feel bad, but having a younger brother is more beneficial!"
"Is it true?" he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Darling gave him another blank look, "Why are you asking this! You don't have a brother!
So, he was touched against the scales and fought with Darling again!
After going back, he was inevitably punished by his mother, but he didn't care at all, all he was thinking about was - how to let the mother and daughter give him a younger brother to play!
