"If it's Yu Yao's business, I already know."

Xie Ning was stunned, his eyes washed by tears looked exceptionally clear, his nose was slightly red, and his hair that had just woken up was a little scattered.

When she looked at him like this, the emperor suddenly had a feeling.

The palms were hot, the heartbeat was faster than usual, and I was a little panicked. There was also a slight dizziness in front of my eyes, as if I was going to be sucked in by these eyes.

"The concubine was negligent and almost caused a catastrophe......"

The emperor's finger lightly touched her lips.

"You can't blame you for this, it's probably my fault. Not long after you gave birth, and you haven't taken care of your children before, and suddenly you have three children by your side, who can guarantee that you can't make a mistake? Even if I am I, I can't guarantee that I haven't done a single wrong thing. ”

Shainin shook his head: "That's different. ”

She and the emperor both understand that some mistakes can be made, and some mistakes cannot be made, as long as one time is enough for a person to regret it for life.

When the emperor said this, he just comforted her and excused her.

But Shainin could not use this reason to excuse himself.

The emperor was about to say something, but suddenly turned around.

Xie Ning's gaze swept over the emperor's shoulder and looked at the door, Princess Yuyao was wearing an apricot-colored skirt and a long red armor, holding the door frame and tilting her head to look at them.

Xie Ning hurriedly wiped the corners of his eyes again and beckoned to Princess Yuyao.

Princess Yuyao walked over slowly, naturally leaning on Xie Ning's side, and leaning her head on her.

The emperor stretched out his hand and tentatively touched Princess Yuyao's hair, and seeing that she did not hide or disgust, he gently touched her head a few times.

"Look, how much she kisses you. She knows that you treat her well and can't leave you for a moment. ”

Xie Ning stretched out his arm and hugged Princess Yuyao, feeling the child's unreserved attachment to her.

During the day, because he couldn't find her, he would rather huddle into her bed with her pillow than seek comfort from others.

"The slave and maid are lazy and unsatisfied, so they change it, and choose another diligent and obedient one. That's all for now, no more talk. ”

Xie Ning hugged Princess Yuyao and answered softly.

The emperor looked at the mother and daughter in front of him, knowing that they were not mother and daughter, but he was in a trance for a while.

It seems that it is most appropriate for them to be together like this. At least, he had never seen Concubine Shu get along with a child like this in front of him before. In my memory, Concubine Shu always wore gorgeous makeup, and she was afraid that her lip grease would be damaged, so she would not kiss her daughter like Xie Ning. If she gets too close, the hedgehog-like protruding steps and hairpins in her hair will stab and hook the child.

The emperor felt that it was not like being a mother.

"When you didn't wake up, Ying Yan kept interceding for you, and he even said that he cried."

"Really?" Shainin raised his head: "What did he say?" ”

"It's all your kind words." The emperor smiled and straightened Princess Yuyao's messy hair, and also straightened Xie Ning: "But I can talk to Ying Yan, and I won't say those words to you." ”

"Why? Since it is a good word, the concubine also wants to hear it. It's not that you say bad things, what's not to say? ”

"He'll be embarrassed, you know, this kid loves face very much, and he feels that he can't lose his dignity as an eldest brother at all times, otherwise how can he set an example for his younger brothers and sisters? After crying in front of me, he felt that he was out of shape. The emperor whispered in Xie Ning's ear: "I have already promised him this, so you should not know, don't let the child lose face." ”

What an old child, but he behaves like a little adult.

Maybe the children in the palace are so sensitive and precocious, right?

"Okay, get up and wash your face, it doesn't matter if you comb your hair or not, there is no one else anyway, it's time for dinner."

Since the emperor has said that he will not mention it again, then he really can't mention it again.

Xie Ning was still a little weak in his heart.

Does the emperor really not mind? Maybe there are still some, but the emperor didn't show it.

But when Xie Ning thought of his reluctance and unhappiness, he felt uncomfortable.

She would rather he get angry and beat her directly, which is better than hiding it in her heart.

Xie Ning got up to freshen up, Qinghe took a skirt to change for her, and whispered in her ear when she combed her hair: "The master doesn't know, the emperor just sent the princess's nurse and palace maid away, and the face was so frightened that the slave and maid's souls were about to disperse." But as soon as he entered the house and saw the master, the emperor's face was like ice and snow meeting the spring sun, and the ice melted all of a sudden. ”

Xie Ning hummed softly, holding a hairpin in his hand.

Qinghe asked again: "Did the master tell the emperor about today's incident in Changchun Garden?" ”

"I haven't said it yet."

Qinghe skillfully pulled up Xie Ning's hair and buttoned it with a hair pin, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, don't be too sad, don't be too angry, you are angry with your body and let others be proud in vain." Who this other person is in her words, the master and servant both know it.

"You have to tell the emperor about this, Princess Mingshou is so arrogant, according to the slave maid, no one can help her except the emperor, Princess Mingwei is not only a sister, but her status is greatly inferior, just look at it today, the two have no sisterhood at all, Princess Mingshou will not sell her face. As for the others, it's too late to fall into the well, and they won't come back to help us. Come back and talk to the emperor, this matter will be settled early, and if it drags on, the slave and maid are worried that they don't know what will happen. ”

"I know."

It's just a little unspeakable, and I think it's even more difficult to say than what happened to Princess Yuyao just now.

No wonder people always say that family ugliness should not be publicized, this kind of embarrassing thing to expose is really doubly difficult to say by yourself.

"What about the second prince?"

"I just woke up, and the nurse fed him."

The dinner was very rich, because of the presence of the emperor, it was different from last night. The emperor sat on the top, Xie Ning and Princess Yuyao sat on one side, and the eldest prince himself sat on the other side. Princess Yuyao really can't leave Xie Ning for a while, she is more sticky than a few days ago, she has to feed Xie Ning when she eats a mouthful, and she has to hand the soup to her mouth before she is willing to drink it.

The second prince couldn't eat yet, so he was held by the nurse and watched. A pair of big black eyes looked at this, and then at that, without stopping.

"It's rare for him to see so many people eating together, doesn't he think it's fresh?" The emperor asked the nurse to bring the second prince over, and fed him a little soup with chopsticks, and the second prince smacked his lips and showed a toothless smirk to the emperor.

Princess Yuyao looked at this fat doll and waited quietly for Xie Ning to feed her another bite.

Seeing this, the emperor shook his head and said softly: "She is really getting more and more pampered, you see what you are used to children." ”

Xie Ning wiped the corners of her mouth for her: "She is not sure, she knew that I shouldn't go out today." ”

The eldest prince said softly: "Today's incident is also because I am not optimistic about my sister. ”

The emperor paused lightly on the tooth chopsticks inlaid with silver rhombic flowers: "Okay, don't fight to get the wrong one by one." I've only seen those who fight for merit, but I haven't seen anyone who fights for faults. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, the eldest prince didn't dare to speak anymore, and lowered his head and ate sullenly. The emperor sandwiched a piece of lotus root for him, and the eldest prince was flattered and said first: "Thank you, father." Then he ate the lotus root.

Xie Ning felt that there was a fried mountain delicacies that tasted very good. You can also eat it in the palace, but it is all dry goods, and this kind of seasonal food is generally not presented in the imperial dining room. This is also a common practice in the imperial dining room. Fresh is always better than dry, and as for the subtle differences in taste, it is natural that seasoning and processing processes make up for it.

But mountain delicacies, seafood, these are always to eat a fresh word.

The emperor said to her: "Don't patronize Yuyao, you haven't eaten a few bites yourself." ”

Shainin said, "I'm eating too." ”

This is something that can't be helped, the emperor has sent Princess Yuyao's nurse and palace maid away, the newcomer will definitely not be able to make up for it tonight, and she refuses to eat by herself, what if Xie Ning doesn't feed her?

When Princess Yuyao had almost eaten, she put some soup in a bowl and ate it with rice, which was considered to be full of water.

She was thinking about how to tell the emperor about Xie Liu's mother and daughter, and when the dining table was removed, the emperor took a few of them with him, hugged the second prince, and walked in the bamboo forest of Qingbitang to eat.

The emperor asked the eldest prince how well he learned the flute, and the eldest prince was a little embarrassed: "The qi is not enough, the hands have no strength, and the holes are not accurate." ”

"Take your time and don't rush." The emperor thought for a while, smiled and said, "When the birthday festival is celebrated this year, you will play a tune for me." ”

The eldest prince's eyes lit up, and he replied loudly: "Yes, the retainers obey the order." ”

As for Princess Yuyao, the emperor said: "Yuyao can say peace and longevity to her father when the time comes." ”

This is also the meaning of praying for the child's speedy recovery.

Xie Ning pinched the second prince's little fleshy hand, and said with a smile: "What should we do with the second prince?" I can't even kowtow, and I can't say an auspicious word. ”

"Then you mother, even give your son's share together, you give me a double birthday gift."

The word birthday gift was said by the emperor very ambiguously, and Xie Ning's face turned red.

Why is this man like this? It's all children in front of me, and that's what they say.

Although they are still young and can't understand, Shainin himself will be weak-hearted.

When he returned to the house, Xie Ning personally brought a cup of tea to the emperor, and sat next to the emperor on the couch, with a look of "asking for something".

"What do you want to say? Let's talk about it. ”

"The concubine went to Changchun Garden today, and saw my aunt and cousin, they did not return to their hometown after entering the palace last time, and they were still stranded in Beijing, and this time they also followed out of the capital to the garden, and were taken in by Princess Mingshou to live in Changchun Garden." Xie Ning paused for a moment and then said: "The concubine thinks that it is not good to trouble Princess Mingshou, and wants to ask for a favor from the emperor, so she will send someone to pick them up, and take advantage of the sunny road to send them back to their hometown." ”
