Twenty-Twenty-Three: Father
Ding Zhou also went out for a cup of tea or so, and hurried back to Zhaoxi Palace.
"Little master, Lord Yao is talking to the emperor in the Taihe Hall at this time, Mrs. Fang is also here, the emperor said that he will let Lord Yao come over in a while."
Yao Chuxi breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did you come back so quickly?" It's not so fast to go back and forth from here to Taihe Palace, right? ”
It's like a Scud.
Ding Zhou scratched his head and said with a smile, "The little master is too worried, when the servant went out, he met the father-in-law of Xiaoduan, he was ordered by the emperor to come here to inform you, and he happened to meet the minion, so he directly explained to the minion." ”
Yao Chuxi replied and instructed him: "I have to trouble you to keep an eye on the outside at all times, don't let your parents come, we are all panicking." ”
It seems that Yao Chuxi is really excited this time.
Zhao Xi Palace has its own gatekeeper to reply, Yao Chuxi was in a hurry but forgot about it.
Ding Zhou kept smiling and promised to go out of the palace gate.
Han Shanggong was barely able to get off the ground, but in order to avoid collision, he also wrapped a cloth strap on his shoulder to fix it, and the wound only healed, but he couldn't bump it or move around.
Hearing that the master's father was coming here, Han Shanggong was as happy as his master.
Nothing is worth the reality of the family reunion, the emperor's arrangement is really wonderful, and he completely made the master happy a year ago.
Seeing the sincerity of the master's smile, the sincerity of the urgency, and the absence of any hypocrisy, it can be seen how much she misses her father.
Han Shanggong couldn't remember his father's appearance at all, he only felt that as he grew older, the appearance and image of his relatives became more and more blurred in his mind, and there was still a framework left in the previous years, and he could vaguely think about it, but now he can't remember it at all.
Many times she thinks that if she meets face-to-face, she is afraid that she will not be able to recognize her.
When she entered the palace to serve the queen mother, she was as big as the rain and snow two or three years ago, as if she was about a year and a half younger than them, at that time her father and mother were not young, and her father had a trace of white hair on his head.
Where else can you recognize that?
Han Shanggong, who had not seen his family for decades, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw his master so excited.
If you want to say that you don't miss it at all, it's all lip service, how can you not want to be away from home for many years? It's just that a few years ago, I really thought about it, and I thought about it sadly, after the Queen Mother was gone in the past few years, Han Shanggong thought about everything, and it was useless to think about it or not, it was better to live the rest of your life well, and the right should be to repay your parents for their nurturing grace.
When Yao Zhice and Fang Shi arrived at Zhaoxi Palace, it was when there was no wind, and the wind was very strong at noon, and the branches outside the tree were trembling, if it was like the spring and autumn period, it must be full of leaves and rattling together.
Especially if the wind is still blowing cold, if his father and mother come here at that time, Yao Chuxi will not be at ease.
Please An excerpt was handed over suddenly, but it is not difficult to see that this is a surprise, if you guess correctly, it is the emperor and the two of them that have agreed.
It seems that after looking around, Yao Chuxi himself was kept in the dark.
Han Shanggong ordered an emerald gold light flower skirt for Yao Chuxi, wearing a honey-colored plum blossom pattern inlaid with otter hair on the upper body, and two or three hairpins on the head were sparse, which was fresh and eye-catching.
Yao Chuxi's heart was nervous and excited, and when he saw his father, his heart instantly relaxed, and the tight thread was no longer tight, and all his thoughts and worries turned into tears moist at the corners of his eyes at this moment.
Yao Zhice also made a lot of preparations for entering the palace this time, so he said that this dress was selected by the Fang family for a long time, and he reluctantly settled on this dark brown dress.
"Xi'er!" Yao Zhice choked up twice, thinking that he would be happy to meet this time, but when he saw his daughter who he hadn't seen for many years, he still couldn't hold back.
My throat was a little sour and slightly painful.
Yao Chuxi did the same, called his father, and then couldn't hold back any longer, two tears slipped down his cheeks.
Fang Shi felt a little helpless in front of his officials and daughters on the side, and said in a relieved voice, "If you have anything to say, Xi'er has just finished confinement, don't blow the wind." ”
Yao Zhice relieved himself and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory... Let's go in and talk! ”
It's not that it's been a long time since the confinement was born, it's been a few months, Yao Chuxi laughed at his mother's excuse for not finding it well, and also laughed at his father's uprightness, saying what to worry about.
"Was the road going well when you came? It's not cold, is it..."Yao Chuxi gently held Yao Zhice, and asked a series of questions on the way.
Yao Zhice also had a lot of questions to ask, but he was all pushed back by his daughter's questions.
"It went smoothly, the emperor arranged it very properly, and it wasn't cold, so I went straight to the Taihe Hall when I entered the palace, and I used some snacks there..."
"By the way, listen to your mother, our mother is very strong, and Yunshu doesn't cry or make trouble, how is it very well-behaved?"
Yao Chuxi smiled a little shyly: "You can go in and see you, won't you know?" ”
At this time, the three princes have already changed their appearance, much stronger than the last time the Fang clan entered the palace, and the size of half a fist has grown, Princess Yunshu is the same, she couldn't see clearly when she was born, and her double eyelids are very big at this time, and it seems that her eyes are about to occupy half of her face.
Yao Zhice was stunned for a moment when he saw the two children, not knowing whether he should step forward or not, standing or sitting, reaching out to hold the children and not just staying there, his helpless appearance made Fang laugh for a while.
"You went over and hugged?" Yao Chuxi said.
"Yes... Right..."Yao Zhice smirked and nodded violently, and when he was about to make a move, he withdrew his hand as if he remembered something, "I just entered the hall, and my body is full of cold air, can't I just touch the child like this..."
After relieving for a while, Yao Zhice carefully cleaned his hands and carefully picked up the third prince.
"This is our son?" Yao Zhice's voice was trembling, which showed how happy he was, "Mi'er is indeed very strong, but it's not like the child next to him who was born for several months and was still wrinkled and unenergetic, looking at it like this, he grew up to be a naughty boy!" ”
I don't know how many times Yao Chuxi has heard that the three princes will be naughty when they grow up.
Yao Zhice put down the third prince, picked up Princess Yunshu on the side, and gently held her in his arms, teasing her from time to time. The third prince is a lazy bastard, and he can be said to be unable to sleep with thunder, but Princess Yunshu is different, with her eyes wide open and Yao Zhice's eyes facing each other, she doesn't cry or make trouble, she giggles.
Her saliva flowed down her chin, Yao Chuxi took a handkerchief and wiped it clean a little helplessly, but Yao Zhice didn't dislike it, and still teased her, like teasing a bird and a cat.
It's not like it's a kid anyway.
The Fang family hadn't seen these two living treasures for a while, and they couldn't take care of Yao Chuxi's daughter at the moment, so they also put the armrest of the shaking bed and looked at the two children with a smile.
"Look at Yun Shu's long, don't your eyebrows and eyes look like Xi'er?"
When Yao Zhice heard this, he quickly turned his head to look at his daughter, then looked down at the little man in his arms, and nodded like a chicken pecking, "Like!" Resemble! It's really like, you must be a good-looking person when you grow up! ”
Can this be understood as boasting about oneself in a different way? Yao Chuxi felt embarrassed.
And the appearance of Fang Cai's father, Yao Chuxi somehow felt a little cute.
The word cuteness doesn't seem to be used in the usual father. In Yao Chuxi's memory, his father has always been on top, often frowning, and frowning even tighter when he reads, as if he was worried about something annoying all the time.
His mother often laughed at him and said, "Your brow is furrowed all day long, and one day you will be able to wrinkle into a well and draw water!" ”
But when the father saw his grandson and granddaughter, it all vanished, and the smile that remained on his face was replaced by it.
To say that the father in the past couldn't bear the cute word, now it's different, he laughs like a silly boy, like some beloved baby.
In his expression, Yao Chuxi imagined the appearance of the emperor seeing the two children for the first time, and he should be as happy as his father, and as happy as his father.
It is inconvenient for a man to spend the night in the Zhaoxi Palace, although he is a father, he is more manly, and he can't break the rules because he is alone. Zhaoxi Palace is the place where the concubines live, and it is true that a man should not be left to live.
Yao Chuxi and Yao Zhice both understood this, although the emperor said that it would be okay to stay overnight, but both of them said no.
The emperor sent Duan Kui over, indicating that he had packed up the house for Yao Zhice to live in, not in Zhaoxi Palace, but in the next place.
I finally entered the palace once, and I really shouldn't leave like this.
The main thing is that Yao Chuxi is favored, and Yao Zhice understands that this is the light of his daughter.
Looking at his daughter's happiness now, he is really happy, even happier than moving to Beijing and being given a yard to live in.
Fang's family felt quite sorry for Han Shanggong, the two of them had gotten along several times like sisters, and Luoxue was like half of her daughter, which also made her sad.
"It's really, how can you be willing to do it to children?" Fang Shi looked at Han Shanggong and Luoxue, and said with a solemn expression, "It's really thanks to you, I... I don't know how to thank you guys..."
Yao Zhice also said, "Xi'er has you by her side, it's really a blessing that she has cultivated for three lifetimes!" ”
"Your lord's wife doesn't have to worry about it, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and besides, the third prince was born with my eyes, and he is very close, if I let him be hurt because of my negligence, then I will be sad for half my life."
Han Shanggong's words were true, plain and bland, without much embellishment and explanation, and without any fakes.
