Chapter 7: Father-Daughter Joy
After Ziling went to Yuhuatang, ^
Considering that it was more convenient for Lin Yueyao to live in Cining Palace, Meng Hongyu asked Lin Yueyao to assist the Queen Mother in taking care of the affairs of the harem.
Everyone saw that Xiao Ziling was "driven" to Xihuatang, and Lin Yueyao assisted in the harem, it seems that Lin Yueyao is more likely to be the queen. Therefore, all the concubines in the harem rushed to befriend Lin Yueyao, except for Bai Rushuang, because the Bai family and the Lin family had already formed a relationship, and Bai Rushuang disdained to curry favor with Lin Yueyao.
Since Liu Ruxin was deposed as a concubine, Meng Hongyu has never been close to her, even if they occasionally meet in Cining Palace, Meng Hongyu only bows his head coldly, and he is a stranger to her. Liu Ruxin understands that in this harem intertwined with power and love, if she can't get a little bit of the emperor's grace and rain, she will be trampled under her feet, and life is worse than death, so after several trade-offs, she finally lowered her voice to please Lin Yueyao.
Lin Yueyao didn't want to deal with Liu Ruxin, but when she thought that she was going to climb to the throne of the queen step by step, then, instead of having one more unkind and unrighteous enemy, it was better to have one more friend who was hypocritical! Therefore, Lin Yueyao and Liu Ruxin "reconciled as before" and advanced and retreated together.
On this day, Meng Hongyu was rarely entangled in state affairs, so he went to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother. Outside Cining Palace, I met Liu Ruxin rushing to Cining Palace in a hurry.
Liu Ruxin looked worried, almost trotting briskly, when she saw Meng Hongyu, she was startled, realized that she had misbehaved, hurriedly slowed down, and gently walked to the emperor to ask for peace: "The concubine has seen the emperor, may the emperor be blessed with peace and security." ”
Meng Hongyu glanced at her coldly and asked casually, "What's going on, so flustered!" ”
Liu Ruxin seemed to have something to hide, and said hesitantly: "Return, return to the emperor, not, ^"
Meng Hongyu heard the uneasiness in her tone, and shouted: "Don't talk about it soon!" ”
Liu Ruxin was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a "plop", and cried anxiously: "The concubine should die!" The concubine didn't take good care of Rou'er, and Rou'er was accidentally scalded by boiling water...... Ministers and concubines should be damned...... "The Rou'er in Liu Ruxin's mouth is her eldest daughter, Princess Xinrou, who is thirteen years old this year, and is the same as Xinyang.
"What? How so! Did you call the doctor? Meng Hongyu listened to Liu Ruxin's words and his heart twitched - Xinrou is a girl, what if she has a scar?
Meng Hongyu scolded Liu Ruxin and said, "At this time, shouldn't you take care of her in Sile Academy?" Why did you run to Cining Palace?! ”
"The Imperial Doctor has already seen it, and now Nuo'er is taking care of her. The concubines and concubines heard that the Queen Mother had a good ointment for the treatment of burns from Lingnan tribute, so they wanted to come to the Queen Mother to ask for a little, and they could also ask the Queen Mother for their guilt in person. Liu Ruxin hurriedly explained.
"Then don't hurry in!" Meng Hongyu was so anxious that she almost jumped up and ordered her loudly.
"Yes!" Liu Ruxin hurriedly got up and walked into Cining Palace quickly.
"Let's go! Go to Celestial Temple. Meng Hongyu immediately decided to go to the Sile Academy to see Xinrou.
On the way to Sile Academy, Meng Hongyu thought that because he hated Concubine Shu, he even snubbed Concubine Shu's two daughters. However, they are also their own daughters! How can he ignore them like this, and be so stingy that he doesn't give them a trace of fatherly love? If it weren't for Rou'er's accident today, would she have forgotten about their mother and daughter? The more Meng Hongyu thought about it, the more guilty he felt!
When I entered the Sile Courtyard, I saw Xinrou lying on the bed obediently, her entire left arm wrapped in white gauze, presumably her entire left arm was burned!
As soon as she saw Meng Hongyu coming, she didn't care about the pain, sat up, and said happily: "Father, you are here!" ”
"Sit down and be careful of the wound." Meng Hongyu hurriedly held her down, didn't let her get up to say goodbye, and then sat down on the edge of her bed.
I haven't seen her for a long time, Xinrou has grown up a lot, and the thirteen-year-old girl, although she is still childish, is about to become a beautiful little girl. She was dressed in a white obscene dress, her black hair was scattered, and she looked smart, and Liu Ruxin, who had just come to him, was printed in the same mold.
Back then, Liu Ruxin was also so young and innocent, however, now she is also a little old, especially after that miscarriage...... Thinking that the thirteen-year-old girl in front of him was the crystallization of the love between them, and she was a witness of time, Meng Hongyu couldn't help but feel that the years were unforgiving.
"Father, it's been a long time since you've come to see Rou'er...... Rou'er really, really misses you......" Xinrou hurriedly told Meng Hongyu how much she missed him, and couldn't help but reddened her eyes as she spoke.
"It's the father who is not good, and the father will definitely come to see you often in the future, okay?" Meng Hongyu heard her crying, and felt even more guilty in his heart, so he comforted her softly.
"Hmm!" Xin Rou nodded with tears in her eyes, then stretched out the little finger of her right hand and said to Meng Hongyu: "Father is not allowed to lie to Rou'er!" Let's take an oath. ”
Meng Hongyu couldn't help but smile, and also stretched out the little finger of his right hand to hook with her, and said, "Okay, my father won't lie to you." ”
As he was talking, nine-year-old Xin Ning held a few pink oleanders in her hand and happily stepped into the door: "Sister sister, you see that Ning'er picked beautiful flowers for you." ”
Seeing Meng Hongyu, she suddenly restrained her smile, walked over in a proper manner, lowered her head, and shouted timidly: "Father." ”
"Ning'er, my father has come to see us, come to my sister's side and let my father take a good look." Xin-rou beckoned to her, beckoning her forward.
She didn't want her to stand still and didn't move, she secretly raised her head and glanced at Meng Hongyu timidly. Meng Hongyu also saw the strangeness and fear of herself in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel sad - how long had it been since she had come to see them? Ning'er is so strange and angry with herself!
Meng Hongyu smiled, beckoned to Xinrou, and said softly: "Ning'er come, let my father hug me." ”
Xin Ning cautiously lifted her steps and slowly walked to Meng Hongyu's side, Meng Hongyu picked her up and let her sit on his lap. However, Xin Ning sat nervously, not even daring to move, Meng Hongyu could feel her small body trembling slightly-Meng Hongyu couldn't help but feel even more guilty, and couldn't help but gently hug her.
Xinrou looked at the scene in front of her and said happily: "Although Rou'er was burned, but my father was able to come to see Rou'er, Rou'er didn't feel any pain at all, Rou'er was really happy today!" ”
Meng Hongyu also saw the joy in her eyes, however, Xinrou's joy made him feel guilty, made him feel distressed, and made him blame himself.
