Chapter 22: Homecoming
She is a child who has done something wrong, she is rude and willful, she does not listen to persuasion, she ran outside and was injured, and she went home pregnant to find her mother.
Xie Ruyu didn't understand the lotus leaf's words, so she nudged the night to listen to the maple and saw that the night heard the maple not move, and lifted the curtain to get out of the car first.
When I looked up, I saw that there were many slaves and maids in front of the carriage.
When he didn't see the faces of the crowd clearly, he saw a man stretching out his hand to himself. Xie Ruyu handed his hand over and jumped down with the strength of that person.
Li Lingyi was stunned for a moment, looked at the girl who jumped down in front of him and asked Lotus Ye, "This is my Fifth Emperor Sister?" ”
Seven years ago, when the two were separated, they were still children, and when they grew up in a blink of an eye, Li Lingyi was a little uncertain.
Xie Ruyu raised his head and saw that the person who reached out to help him down was a handsome young man with extraordinary clothes. Moreover, the hand holding her has not yet been released.
With a flushed face, Xie Ruyu withdrew his hand, secretly thinking that the Feng family was not good at night, and even a little girl was such a handsome character.
Lotus Ye shook his head and said to Li Lingyi, "Lord Wang, this is not the fifth miss. ”
Saying that, Lotus Ye stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the car, and Li Lingyi's eyes looked into the car.
When he saw Ye Tingfeng wearing pale pink clothes and holding a women's bun, Li Lingyi smiled, and his eyes were as bright as the delicate sun at noon.
"Fifth Emperor Sister." Li Lingyi stretched out his hand to Ye Tingfeng and said with a smile, "My mother is waiting for you inside." ”
Ye Tingfeng had already heard Li Lingyi's voice, and at this time, she looked at the overlord who had grown into one side after her, her voice was tight, and she couldn't speak.
Li Lingyi's appearance is three points like their father who has passed away. Handsome, resolute, and bright, his eyes flashed with a smile.
Li Lingyi's eyes swept and saw that Ye Tingfeng's tender white hand was resting on the bulging lower abdomen. He withdrew his hand, jumped into the carriage, got inside and carefully hugged Ye Tingfeng in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's inconvenient for the Fifth Emperor Sister, my brother will carry you down." ”
Ye Tingfeng smiled and said to Li Lingyi, "I can move, you let me down, and I will go by myself." ”
Li Lingyi shook his head, stood on the carriage and smiled heartily, then lowered his head and whispered, "Fifth Emperor Sister, I came from the fiefdom this time, and my mother has been training me for a long time. You have to say a few good things to my mother when I carry you out of the car. ”
Li Lingyi stood in the carriage with Ye Tingfeng in his arms, Wu Fengtian was frightened, and he stood forward without a trace to prevent Li Lingyi from falling Ye Tingfeng.
"If my mother knows that you are jumping off the carriage with me in my arms, my mother will beat you with a ring ruler." Ye Tingfeng looked at his bulging lower abdomen and said to Li Lingyi very seriously.
Lotus Ye nodded below, and said to Li Lingyi, who was a little forgetful with joy, "Lord Wang, what Fifth Miss said is that you put Fifth Miss down quickly." ”
After hearing this, Li Lingyi put Ye Tingfeng down, turned over and got out of the carriage, and then hugged Ye Tingfeng, who was squatting down with his lower abdomen, with one hand.
"In this way, my mother won't scold me." Li Lingyi put Ye Tingfeng on the side of the lotus leaf and said with a smile, "You are not allowed to speak ill of me to my mother." ”
"If the prince is not naughty, the slave and maid will not say it." Lotus Ye held Ye Tingfeng's arm and looked up to Li Lingyi.
Li Lingyi has been watched by lotus leaves since he was a child, so his words are a little more majestic.
Listening to Feng's cowardly mood near home, he was troubled by Li Lingyi, disappeared completely, and opened a smile like a flower, and his heart was warm.
Li Lingyi turned his gaze to Wu Fengtian, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you?" ”
Li Lingyi's height is a little shorter than Wu Fengtian's, but the momentum of the king's body on his body has not diminished in the slightest. When he picked up Ye Tingfeng in the carriage, he saw the panic in Wu Fengtian's eyes, so he wanted to make sure that the person in front of him was his brother-in-law.
Without waiting for Wu Fengtian to reply, Ye Ting Feng had already turned around, and said softly, "Yi'er, he is my friend, and he will leave after a few days." ”
A sound of Yi'er made Li Lingyi's face embarrassed, and after he coughed lightly, he hugged Wu Fengtian and strode to the front of several people to lead the way.
Ye Tingfeng held the hand of the lotus leaf and followed behind Li Lingyi with a group of people behind him.
After entering the arch of hammered flowers, walking on the verandah with flowers and grass, the group stepped on the stone bridge on the lotus pond.
Wu Fengtian followed behind the Ye Tingfeng sisters and brothers, looked at the six roads, and took the beautiful manor into his eyes.
Suddenly, his expression froze, and his eyes were locked on a woman on the other side of the stone bridge, who was surrounded by many maidservants.
The woman was wearing a simple moon-white dress, holding the longest women's bun in Dashun, obviously just a delicate posture, but the temperament exuded on her body was noble and abnormal.
The dignity was so noble that Wu Fengtian only glanced at it and then humbly lowered his head, not daring to look directly again.
On the other side of the stone bridge, Lingxi was looking at the stone bridge, the steps on the bun trembling gently, drawing a gentle arc on the side of the ear.
After her beautiful eyes locked on Ye Tingfeng, who was supported by lotus leaves, she patted the shoulders of a pair of children on her side, and smiled softly, "Ruyi, Han'er, that's the fifth sister." ”
"Ruyi remembers." Ten-year-old Li Qingyan lifted the pink skirt embroidered with butterflies with her little white hands, and ran towards the stone bridge.......
"Can't you just be steady?" Li Linghan raised his eyebrows, reached out and grabbed Li Qingyan's shoulders behind him, and his similar little face showed a different calmness, "The Fifth Emperor Sister is inconvenient, you bump into her again." ”
As he spoke, he ran forward, with a hint of naughtiness on his face, and laughed loudly, "Ruyi, you have been fooled." ”
Li Qingyan stomped her feet and said coquettishly, "Tenth brother, you bully me again!" ”
Standing at the top of the stone bridge, I watched two butterflies, one pink and one blue, flying towards me, mixed with unstoppable laughter and laughter.
Jumping over a pair of butterflies, Ye Tingfeng's gaze fell on the spirit rhinoceros standing under the gardenia tree.
Looking at each other from afar, Ye Tingfeng's eyes were red, and tears fell when he lowered his head.
Li Lingyi raised his hand to catch Li Linghan, raised his eyebrows and said, "Ling Han, don't mess around, the Fifth Emperor Sister is inconvenient." ”
The words he said were very steady, as if the person who had to jump from the carriage with Ye Tingfeng in his arms just now was not him.
Li Qingyan got to Ye Tingfeng's side, shook Ye Tingfeng's hand, and pointed at Li Qinghan Jiaojiao and complained, "Fifth Emperor Sister, Tenth Brother bullied me again!" ”
Ye Tingfeng wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and saw a trace of fine sweat hanging on the tip of Li Qingyan's tender white nose, so he stretched out his finger and pointed it.
With tears in his eyes, he smiled and said, "The Fifth Emperor Sister helped you bully your tenth brother." ”
"The Fifth Emperor Sister won't." Li Linghan saw that Li Qingyan's face showed smugness, and said in a childish voice, "The Fifth Emperor Sister is coaxing you." ”
As they spoke, the group had already arrived in front of Lingxi.
Ye Tingfeng lowered his head, stroked his lower abdomen and didn't dare to go up, let go of Li Qingyan's hand and lifted his skirt and knelt down to Lingxi.
Ling Rhinolian stepped forward slightly, squatted down and hugged the daughter who worried her the most into her arms. I feel that my heart, which has been wandering outside for many years, has finally returned.
Ye Tingfeng buried his face in Lingxi's chest and wept, his hands tightly locked Lingxi's waist, and he choked up, "Mother, Feng'er, I'm back." Feng'er, I miss you......"
Ye Mansion covers a large area, in addition to the front of the unique style, there are rockeries, ponds, pavilions and pavilions of the huge garden, in the back of the house also includes a large area, only the green lawn of the wide area.
Out of the backyard of Yefu, what you see when you go out is a high mountain that is not high or low, there are many kinds of fruit trees and flowers on the mountain, the flowers are red and green, and the scenery is different throughout the year.
A clear river flows slowly under the mountain, and it is like a fairyland dotted the entire manor.
Ye Mansion was not as big as this, it was just a separate garden where Ye Jingyan temporarily lived when he went south. Later, Lingxi settled here, and Ye Jingyan contributed money and efforts to renovate it.
Because when the renovation was repaired, Lingxi had the idea of several children living together, so the courtyard in the Ye Mansion was roughly divided into seven places. The Yingxue Courtyard where she lives, the Xiaoxiang Courtyard where her friend Allure lives, the Qilin Pavilion where Li Lingyi occasionally lives, and the Mirror Moon Pavilion where her youngest son Li Linghan lives. The little daughter lives in the Xingxing Xuan, and the Luoxi Xuan where the Feng lives at night. There is also a side courtyard called the Crane Residence, which is a guest room.
Because he had already returned before he heard the news that the maple people had arrived, Lingxi ordered Lotus Leaf to clean up Luoxixuan early with his minions.
After dinner, Ye Tingfeng hooked Lingxi's sleeve with his little finger, swaying back and forth, unwilling to leave.
Too many things have happened in seven years, and the wronged children have too many things to confide in their mothers.
Lingxi also kept holding Ye Tingfeng's hand, and her mind was in a trance, as if Ye Tingfeng's return to her was just a sweet dream.
After bathing, the two lay down on the carved mahogany bed in the bedroom and looked at each other and chuckled softly.
Ye Tingfeng looked at the spirit rhino in front of him, smelled the fragrance of roses on the slightly wet hair, and felt indescribably stable in his heart.
Lingxi's still slender and white hand stroked the eyebrows of Ye Tingfeng, and after looking at it for a long time, his eyes moistened, and he asked softly, "Feng'er, my mother heard the lotus leaf say, there is a scar in the center of your eyebrows." ”
Ye Tingfeng saw the heartache in Lingxi's eyes, held Lingxi's hand, and comforted him lightly, "Mother, get rid of it." ”
"Does it hurt?" Lingxi asked the stupid thing.
"It doesn't hurt." Ye Tingfeng shook his head again and again, raised his left hand, squeezed his thumb and index finger tightly together, and said metaphorically, "It's just like a small knife cut, and it will pass in a while." ”
Lingxi chuckled, held Ye Tingfeng's white hand in his own hand to compare the size, and after thinking for a long time, he asked seriously, "Feng'er, the child's father, but, that Jin?" ”
Once a young night to listen to Feng learn to be a female red, the first embroidered handkerchief, is a Jin character.
Ye Tingfeng felt a pain in his heart, nodded slightly after looking at his lower abdomen, curled up forward, crawled to Lingxi's chest and cried softly, "Mother, I thought he loved me, but he just fell in love with Gu." His affection for me was all fake. ”
Lingxi gently hugged Ye Tingfeng's shoulder and persuaded softly, "Feng'er, it's good to be back." In the future, I will be by my mother's side, and I will not go anywhere......"
Ye Tingfeng nodded slightly, raised his eyes to look at the exquisite carving on the gauze cover, and after sobbing, he asked Lingxi, "Mother, I thought you were in the snow country, and I went to the snow country to find you, but I was entangled halfway through, and I came back......"
Lingxi chuckled lightly, wiped away the tears from the corners of Ye Tingfeng's eyes with his pearl-like smooth fingertips, and said with a smile, "My mother has lived in the Snow Country for a while, and it is in your aunt's mansion in Allure. Later, your Uncle Rui wanted to find his princess, so my mother and your Aunt Chengcheng followed him to Jiangnan......"
"Mother, aren't you afraid of being found by my eldest brother?" Ye Ting Feng looked up and asked in surprise.
From the snow country to the south of the Yangtze River in Dashun, there are more than thousands of miles. Such a large family along the way is really eye-catching.
What's more, the mansion of the Ye Mansion is so big, Lingxi doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding.
"Found ......" Lingxi sighed and smiled at Ye Tingfeng, "He found me." It's been less than three months since I took your brother and sister here, and he's here......"
"Then, he ......" Ye Tingfeng looked at Lingxi's face and asked cautiously, "My imperial brother ...... him"
"Your royal brother said he set me free." Lingxi had a relieved smile on his face, and said to Ye Tingfeng, "Feng'er, you see, everything is different from your previous life. Niang did not become a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people. ”
"Some, it's still the same......" Ye Tingfeng lowered his head, and his expression became gloomy.
"Feng'er, the emperor's love is the most difficult to find," Lingxi persuaded softly, "The emperor has the emperor's embarrassment, he is destined to have ordinary people's different ......"
"Niang ......" was silent for a long time, and Ye Tingfeng suddenly raised his head and asked Lingxi, "Have you ever loved someone?" ”
Lingxi was stunned for a moment, blinking her beautiful eyes, and the look on her face became a little trance-like.
"Is it the father, or the eldest brother?" Ye Tingfeng asked, "Could it be Uncle Rui Wang?" ”
"I'm ......" Lingxi's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled, lit the tip of Ye Tingfeng's nose, and said softly, "Mother loves Feng'er, loves Yi'er, and loves Ruyi and Han'er." Mother still loves you, Aunt Allure......"
Knowing that Lingxi didn't want to say more, Ye heard Feng take Lingxi's hand into his arms, and whispered, "Mother, Feng'er thinks you have loved it, you just don't say it, Feng'er also knows who it is." So my mother knows in her heart that sometimes, the heart is uncontrollable. ”
Lingxi narrowed his eyes lightly, the soft smile on his face remained unchanged, and there was a place in his heart that was hit hard.
For a long time, she bit her lip lightly and said to Feng at night, "Feng'er, my mother is old, and this kind of day is what my mother has always looked forward to." ”
"It's also what Feng'er is looking forward to." Listening to the bumpy maple at night for several days, it is already very tiring. She found a comfortable position on Lingxi's chest, smelled the familiar lily fragrance in her memory, narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Mother, Feng'er is no longer willful, stay by your side and listen to you." ”
"Hmm." Lingxi took down the hair wrapped around Ye Tingfeng's delicate neck, and said softly, "Feng'er sleep, my mother is watching you." ”
A tear slipped down from the corner of Ye Tingfeng's eyes, she squinted her eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Mother, am I so bad, why doesn't he want me?" ”
"My Feng'er is the best, he ......" Lingxi wanted to say a few bad words about Emperor Jianning, but found that it was just a few more slashes on Ye Tingfeng's heart, so he just did it.
"He just doesn't love me." Listening to Feng choked up at night, as if saying to herself, "Mother can do not love, Feng'er can also do ......"
Lingxi didn't reply, and watched Ye Tingfeng slowly fall asleep.
I didn't sleep well this night, and I kept moaning softly in my sleep, and I woke up and fell asleep.
She was nearly six months pregnant, and her legs ached.
Lingxi didn't feel the slightest sleep, so he exchanged with the lotus leaf to help Ye Tingfeng rub his legs. Rubbing and rubbing, Lingxi's heart became sour.
Although the night listening maple in front of her is not her own, she has been carefully putting it in the palm of her hand to care for it. Her love for Ye Tingfeng is stronger than that of any child.
Now that the baby she cared for has come back with a body injury, she, a mother, has not even had the opportunity to reprimand that person in person.
Thinking about it, my throat is very blocked.
Lotus Ye gently rubbed Ye Tingfeng's legs, and persuaded Lingxi on the other hand, "Madam, the fifth princess is back, don't be sad." ”
Lingxi shook her head, wiped the fine sweat on Feng's forehead with a handkerchief, and sighed, "She is seventeen years old this year, and the princess of Dashun is not so old and not married, not to mention that she is still a princess." ”
"I'm only afraid of the fifth princess, and I don't want to get married......" Lotus Ye whispered.
"The marriage of the royal princess has always been up to her own decision, of course, the emperor only promised me not to let her and her relatives...... Your Majesty, you have to give an explanation to the royal family and the people. ”
"That'...... Then let the emperor decree that the fifth princess died? Lotus Ye asked, "Just like the Ten Princesses and the Ten Princes." ”
"Do you think the emperor will listen to what I say?" Lingxi asked.
Lotus Leaf bowed her head and stopped talking.
Listening to Feng at night, there was something in his heart, and it seemed that he was safe all the way, but in fact, he was all forbearing.
When he arrived at Yefu, he was sick after telling all the grievances in his heart to Lingxi.
In the second half of the night, Ye Tingfeng had a high fever, bit his lip, and fell into a semi-coma and couldn't get out.
There is everything in the Ye Mansion, but there is a lack of a doctor with excellent medical skills.
After learning from Litmu's mouth that Wu Fengtian's medical skills were quite good, and he had been taking care of Ye Tingfeng's body along the way, Ling Xi ordered Xiao Dezi to go to the Crane Residence and invite Wu Fengtian to the Yingxue Pavilion.
When Wu Fengtian came to the Luoxue Pavilion, the lights in the Luoxue Pavilion were famous, and the girls and grandmothers in the main hall were all over the ground, but in the bedroom, only Lingxi and Lotus Leaf Wenqing were sitting.
After talking a few words to Lingxi, Wu Fengtian checked Ye Tingfeng's pulse through the gauze tent, only to feel that Ye Tingfeng's pulse was chaotic to an unimaginable extent.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the fetus in Yetingfeng's womb is still stable, and there is no loss due to Yetingfeng's sudden sudden illness.
Because Ye Tingfeng was pregnant, Wu Fengtian had a lot of scruples about giving Ye Tingfeng medicine, and he didn't dare to use any of the tiger and wolf medicines that had significant effects.
In the end, only a gentle prescription was prescribed and handed to Lotus Ye, and Lotus Ye was asked to find someone to grab the medicine.
There was no medicine shop in the Ye Mansion, so Li Lingyi got up in the middle of the night and rode forward to Bian Zhou City to grab medicine.
By the time Li Lingyi grabbed the medicine and boiled it for Ye Tingfeng to drink, it was already an ugly moment.
When it was almost dawn, the high fever of Ye Tingfeng slowly subsided, and the little face that was burned red also returned to its original complexion.
Wu Fengtian checked Ye Tingfeng's pulse again, and let out a long breath after a long time.
Listening to the chaotic pulse of the maple at night, he finally calmed down.
Lingxi sat on the Taishi chair on one side, and saw Wu Fengtian's frowning brows stretched, and the panic and worry in his eyes slowly receded.
In listening to Feng's confession at night, Lingxi already knew who Wu Fengtian in front of him was and why he came to Dashun with her.
Although the reasons given were sufficient, Lingxi immediately found the key point.
