Chapter 343: Loving Father (1)
In the matter of the jade beauty, Gao Welfare really didn't dare to say a word.
Just because the emperor said that if he talks too much, he will be killed immediately.
He already owed his mother a life before, and he really didn't dare to make the emperor unhappy anymore.
In fact, the emperor's favor to Song Huaiyu was just a deliberately made scene for outsiders to see. As for what the purpose is, it is not for him to guess as a minion. However, eighty percent is to share the worries of the mother.
However, Gao Fuli knows one thing very well in his heart, that is, the emperor's heart for the queen's mother will never change because of those warblers and swallows in the palace.
If Niangniang knew that the emperor had summoned a lucky jade beauty for seven nights, but he hadn't even touched a finger of her, I don't know if I would feel happy or ridiculous?
Zhulu listened to these words, and her heart was still bottomless,
"Xiao Lizi, can you not sell it to me?"
Gao Fuli glanced at her and said, "My good sister, I just want you to put your heart in your stomach." ”
The emperor will not be interested in the jade beauty.
Sometimes, Gao Fuli even felt that in the eyes of the emperor, there was only one woman in the world. And everyone else is just someone else.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhulu stopped forcing him and turned around to leave.
Gao Fuli stretched out his hand to hold her: "It's all here, sister, just sit for a while." I'll tell the kitchen to set the table. ”
Seeing him holding his hand, Zhu Lu frowned slightly: "Father-in-law Gao is polite, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to do in the palace." ”
Gao Fuli saw her throwing her hand with disgust, and an inexplicable impulse suddenly surged in her heart, and the whole person blocked in front of her and said, "We have known each other for so many years, why do you have to be so angry with me?" Just sit a little longer, I just have something to say to you. ”
Seeing that his attitude was wrong, Zhu Lu looked directly into her eyes and said, "Grandpa Gao, what else is there to say between me and you." ”
Gao Fuli took a step closer and said aggressively: "Don't talk about the masters, just talk about you and me." ”
It was the first time Zhulu had seen him like this, and they had occasionally laughed and joked in the past, but he had never looked at her with such eyes.
"Zhulu, you know my mind......" Gao Fuli's face turned slightly red, he was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke.
Zhu Lu was shocked when she heard this, took a few steps back and said, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, my heart for you, Niangniang knows, and you know it." For the first time in his life, Gao Fulu showed his true feelings to people, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and he was embarrassed and uneasy.
Zhulu also panicked in her heart, she settled down, and then said, "Xiao Lizi, how have we come over all these years?" I just want to serve Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly, and I don't have any other ideas! ”
"Do you dislike me, dislike me for being a eunuch!" Gao Fuli mustered up the courage and asked the words that he pressed in his heart.
Zhulu lowered her eyes and shook her head: "We are all slaves, no one has to dislike anyone, I just never thought about these things." ”
The love of men and women...... She doesn't do anything wishful thinking anymore.
Gao Fuli saw that she rejected herself, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Although I am a eunuch, I am also an upright man. If my sister is willing to follow me, I will treat you well for the rest of my life. ”
Zhu Lu's heart sank when she heard this, but she still shook her head: "Xiao Lizi, don't think about this anymore." Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, inside and outside the palace, there are so many things that need our help. ”
Zhulu's tone softened, and it sounded like it was full of helplessness.
Gao Fuli also relented, what is the use of him being embarrassed for her?
And whether she wants it or not, in the end, it doesn't have to be a nod from the mother.
"Got it, my sister went back to the palace earlier, be careful on the road."
After Zhulu left, Gao Fuli looked at the empty main hall, and his heart was also empty.
When he was a child, he lived like a beggar, only begging for three meals to eat, and never expected that there would be such a big place to live.
Now, he also wants something, but unfortunately, he is still alone.
While talking, the little maid in the family stepped forward and said, "Master, the meal is ready." ”
Gao Welfare is still in the mood to eat, and after thinking about it, he got up and said, "It's all cleaned up." I went back to the palace and didn't come back for a few days. ”
In fact, this outer house is just a decoration, and the high welfare occasionally takes the time to come back to sit, and it is rare to have a night over.
The emperor's temperament is weak, and the people who serve him often need him to personally relieve the siege if they are not to his liking.
Seven days of grace have finally come to an end.
Tonight, the emperor was alone in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and no one's name was ordered.
When Meng Xilan learned of this, she sent Xiao Chunzi to send ginseng tea.
Zhou Youchen saw the ginseng tea and asked, "Is Lan'er sleeping now?" ”
Xiao Chunzi shook her head slightly: "Niangniang still has a bed to rest, the worry-free little master has had a little cough in the past two days, and she can't sleep well at night, and Niangniang is accompanying her." ”
Zhou Youchen paused slightly: "Worry-free sick?" ”
"Yes."
Why didn't he know that he was sick...... But if you think about it carefully, when he went to Cining Palace in the past two days, he didn't see the child.
It seems that he was still negligent.
Zhou Youchen put down the brush in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go, go back to Cining Palace." ”
Worry-free is not seriously ill, but has a cold.
However, she suddenly developed fever. Meng Xilan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to boil the soup and medicine.
Getting a small child to drink medicine is always the hardest.
Wuwu cried and shook her head, no matter how Meng Xilan coaxed, she refused to open her mouth.
She is not usually such a willful child, but now she may be because of illness, and she can't be coaxed well.
Coaxed and coaxed, the decoction was cold.
Meng Xilan handed the medicine bowl to Jade and asked her to heat it up again.
Meng Xilan hugged Wuwu with the quilt and hugged her up.
She gently coaxed her and said, "You won't feel bad after taking the medicine." ”
Carefree's little face was flushed, and he coughed a few times from time to time.
While speaking, Zhou Youchen hurriedly walked into the inner hall.
Worry-free cried breathlessly, and was lying on Meng Xilan's shoulder and shedding tears.
Meng Xilan was slightly surprised when she saw Zhou Youchen coming: "Why did the emperor ......?"
Zhou Youchen listened to the carefree faint cry, and frowned: "The child is sick, why don't you tell me?" After speaking, he reached out and probed his forehead.
Sure enough, it's a little hot, which isn't good.
Wuwu was almost five years old, and Meng Xilan had a little difficulty holding her, so she had to bend her knees slightly and said, "She's just a little cold." The emperor doesn't have to worry, let's go back to the Heart Nourishing Palace first. ”
Zhou Youchen saw that she was struggling, so he hurriedly reached out and took Wu Wu and held her in his arms, just like he usually hugged Changsheng: "Children are sick, but they can be big or small, and I can't leave." ”
Meng Xilan's eyes condensed slightly when she heard this.
She thought he didn't care much about worry-free.
Wuwu cried so much that he had no strength, and lay on Zhou Youchen's shoulder with sobs, his eyes were swollen and swollen, and he looked pitiful.
Suddenly, Jade brought in the hot decoction. As soon as he smelled the medicine, he began to cry again.
Jade held the medicine bowl, and didn't know what to do for a while, so she only looked at Meng Xilan and said, "Niangniang, do you want the slave to take the medicine down first." ”
Meng Xilan frowned and shook her head: "No, it's time to drink medicine." ”
She personally picked up the medicine bowl and came to Carefree, scooped a spoonful and brought it to her mouth.
Don't worry about it, don't turn your face away, keep your head down and keep hiding.
Seeing this, Zhou Youchen thought for a while, then sat down with Wuwu in his arms, looked at her eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Wuwu, don't cry." ”
The voice that was not angry and arrogant, coupled with a serious face, instantly quieted Carefree.
She held back her crying and lowered her head with one twitch after another.
Zhou Youchen didn't allow her to bow her head, and continued to stare into her eyes and ordered, "Drink the medicine obediently." ”
Children are also good at looking at the eyes.
Xu was out of fear in his heart, and he didn't dare to say a word "no" anymore.
Meng Xilan hurriedly stepped forward and scooped up a spoonful of medicine again and sent it to her mouth.
Carefree closed his eyes, frowned, and drank the medicine with an expression of extreme pain.
Meng Xilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly continued to feed her.
Halfway through the drink, Wuwu struggled a few times, but she had a pair of stern eyes from Zhou Youchen, her mouth was curled, and she didn't dare to cry anymore.
After tossing for a long time, I finally took the medicine to reduce fever.
Zhou Youchen put the obedient carefree back on the bed, Meng Xilan covered her with a quilt, and patted her gently: "It's okay to take the medicine, go to sleep." ”
Wuwu closed his swollen eyes, hugged his small quilt, and turned to sleep.
Zhou Youchen stood by the bed, not in a hurry to leave, only waiting for her to really fall asleep, before giving Meng Xilan a look.
Meng Xilan knew that he had something to say, so she got up and followed.
The moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are shining.
Zhou Youchen put his hands behind his back, stood in the courtyard, looked up at the moon and said, "Worry-free thing, why don't you tell me?" ”
Meng Xilan's red lips moved slightly: "The emperor has every opportunity, and the concubines don't want to take such a trivial matter to make the emperor worried." ”
Zhou Youchen turned to look at her, and said with a straight face: "Even if it's a small matter, as long as it has something to do with you, you should tell me." ”
Meng Xilan was surprised when she saw his unhappy expression, but she still nodded obediently: "Okay, the concubine knows." After speaking, she walked over slowly, reached out to stroke his back, and asked, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, it will be okay without worry." ”
Her gentle attitude made Zhou Youchen feel even more guilty.
He couldn't help but sigh softly: "I'm really careless, I come to you every day, but I don't know that the child is sick......"
Meng Xilan's eyes were full of tenderness, and she comforted him: "This is not something that the emperor should worry about. ”
Zhou Youchen shook his head: "No, it's true that I was negligent." I didn't think of her as my own child, so I didn't take her to heart. ”
Meng Xilan was silent when she heard this, then took the initiative to hold his hand, and crossed her fingers with him: "It's okay, the coming day is long, our worries are still small." ”
