Liu Ruxin had already returned from Cining Palace with the ointment, and she stood quietly outside Xinrou's room, silently watching their father and daughter laugh and laugh. This warm scene reminded her of the happiness of the past, and her eyes turned red unconsciously - how long has it been? How long has it been since her daughter has been so happy as she is today? How long has it been since their family laughed like this? How long had she not seen him smile so genuinely in front of her?

"Mother, you're back." Xinrou saw Liu Ruxin standing at the door in a daze, and hurriedly called her, "Mother, hurry up and get ready, my father is going to accompany us to dinner tonight!" ”

Are you sure? Does he really want to stay at the Soul Theater for dinner? Liu Ruxin was overjoyed when she heard this, handed the ointment she took from Cining Palace to Nuo'er to put it away, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to arrange dinner.

After a while, the food was put on the table, and Meng Hongyu took Xinning to the dining room to eat.

Xinrou also insisted on getting up and going to the dining room to eat, she said: "It's rare that our family can sit together and have a good meal, how can Rou'er miss this happiest time?" Meng Hongyu was helpless, so he had to agree to let her get up and eat.

The meal was quite hearty, Meng Hongyu picked up a small piece of steamed fish and put it in his mouth to eat, and found that the taste was different from the dishes he used to eat, and he knew that this steamed fish was not made by his own imperial chef. I stopped my chopsticks and was about to ask who made this dish - why is it so delicious?!

I saw that Liu Ruxin, Xin Rou and Xin Ning all stopped their chopsticks and looked at him nervously.

Xin Rou hurriedly asked, "Father, this meal...... Not to your taste? ”

Seeing their worried looks, Meng Hongyu smiled and replied, "No, this dish is delicious, and my father likes it very much." ”

"Really? If my father likes to eat it, this is made by my mother herself! Xinrou said with a happy face.

Seeing Liu Ruxin shyly bowing her head slightly, Meng Hongyu couldn't help asking, "When did Ruxin learn to cook?" ”

The emperor not only smiled at me, but also called me Ruxin! - Liu Ruxin was ecstatic in her heart - he called me Ruxin! Just like when I first entered the palace, he called me Ruxin!

Seeing that Liu Ruxin was only smirking, Xin Rou hurriedly reminded her: "Mother, my father asked you something." ”

Liu Ruxin came to her senses and quickly replied: "The concubine has been fond of cooking recently, and she pondered it when she had nothing to do. ”

"I see" Meng Hongyu praised her without hesitation, "The craftsmanship is not bad, it is very satisfactory." ”

How could it not be to his taste? Liu Ruxin has put a lot of effort into it, going to the imperial dining room three times and twice to explore Meng Hongyu's tastes, looking for various cooking books to study, and doing cooking experiments without sleep...... She had already planned to practice good cooking skills and grab Meng Hongyu's stomach with delicious meals—since she couldn't capture a man's heart, then grab a man's stomach.

After dinner, drink tea in the hall. Xin Ning no longer feels angry with Meng Hongyu like Fang Cai, but likes to stick to him, coquettish him, and ask for long-lost fatherly love.

Just after the time (1), Meng Hongyu was about to get up and leave, only to see Xin Ning reluctantly holding his clothes, and asked coquettishly: "Can my father stay with us tonight?" Ning'er is reluctant to ...... her father."

Her big watery eyes were shining with tears, Meng Hongyu couldn't bear to refuse, he raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Ruxin, Liu Ruxin was embarrassed and pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, and hurriedly pulled Xinning's hand to coax her: "Ning'er, my father still has a lot of things to deal with tonight, and he can't stay with us." Tomorrow, my father will come to see Ning'er again, okay? ”

Xin Ning opened her big watery eyes, looked at Meng Hongyu seriously, and said, "Father, you must come to see Ning Er tomorrow!" ”

Meng Hongyu smiled lovingly, picked her up, gently kissed her snow-white and delicate cheeks, and promised her: "Good! My father promised you that I would come to see you tomorrow. ”

Xinrou also said happily when she heard it: "My father is the emperor, and I have a word!" Tomorrow, Rou'er will wait for her father. ”

Meng Hongyu gently put Xin Ning on the ground, pinched her little face, and said, "Father will remember to come to see you." ”

The mother and daughter sent Meng Hongyu to the door, stood under the plaque of "Sile Yuan", and watched his back gradually disappearing, as if Meng Hongyu had gradually left Liu Ruxin in all these years.

Liu Ruxin remembered that she had also been favored by herself that day and was the imperial concubine, but now, she was lonely and neglected every night, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Liu Ruxin secretly wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and entered the house with Xin Rou and Xin Ning-

As soon as she entered Xinrou's room, Liu Ruxin hurriedly closed the doors and windows, and instructed Nuo'er to bring the burn ointment she asked for from the Queen Mother. Xinrou rested her left hand on the table and sat quietly at the table, Liu Ruxin sat next to Xinrou to help her untie the gauze wrapped around her arm.

The white gauze was untied layer by layer, blooming like a white lotus, gradually revealing a jade arm as white as clotted fat, and I saw that on the delicate jade arm like a lotus root, there was a burn about the size of a teacup at the elbow.

Opening the delicate box, he gently picked up a little white ointment and applied it to Xinrou's burns, Xinrou couldn't help frowning slightly. Looking at the red and swollen wound, Liu Ruxin's heart was like a knife: "What if such a beautiful arm is scarred?" ”

Xinrou endured the pain while comforting her: "Mother, it's not in the way, as long as you are careful not to break the blister, it won't leave a scar." ”

Liu Ruxin's eyes were slightly red, and she said distressedly: "It's useless to be a mother, I'm sorry for you, if my mother can be favored like Xiao Ziling's slut, I don't have to let you suffer like this...... Woo woo......" Liu Ruxin said and couldn't help but cry.

When Xin Rou heard this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she was a child who had matured early, and she had been exposed to it in the palace since she was a child, how could she not understand that her father's favor was more important to her mother than her life? If the mother is not favored, then not only will the Liu family not be protected, but even he and his sister will never want to marry a good husband in the future! Therefore, in order to help her mother regain her grace, she is willing to sacrifice anything!

Enduring the pain on her body and heart, Xin Rou hurriedly comforted Liu Ruxin: "Mother, don't be sad, this is the method that Rou'er came up with, and it is Rou'er's own choice." For the happiness of our mother and daughter, this little pain, Rou'er can bear it! ”

Seeing that her mother and sister were sad, Xin Ning hurriedly teased them and laughed: "Sister, Ning'er didn't make her father angry today, did Ning'er do a good job?" ”

Liu Ruxin couldn't help laughing, wiped away her tears, nodded and said, "Very good, very good!" We Ning'er are the smartest. ”
