After getting off the ground, his feet were weak and weak, and he stumbled and was about to fall backwards, but he grabbed his waist. He didn't pick me up like he used to, he just helped me and asked, "Can you go?" "I didn't want to rely on him anymore because he treated me with such an attitude, so I nodded and said I could go. With his help, I walked out of the inner sanctum, and the breeze blew in my face, and I heard the laughter of children in the courtyard.

I couldn't help but pause, or rather, I was deterred, "Is Yuan'er in the courtyard?" ”

Ah Ping replied lightly: "Well, go out and have a look." ”

"No, I'll go back inside." I wanted to turn around but he wouldn't let me, and I was forced to go out with me, I grabbed the door frame and shook my head at him: "Don't." He stared at me, "You can't bear to let Yuan'er have no mother at such a young age?" ”

I lowered my head to avoid his gaze and argued, "I'm his mother, I didn't disown him." ”

"I don't even see the face, and there is equal to nothing."

I couldn't help but be stunned, he had never spoken like this to me before, but I didn't dare to raise my eyes to look at his expression, for fear that there would be disappointment and coldness in those black eyes. I may be able to accept the former, but I can't face the latter.

In the silence, Ah Ping suddenly brought me forward, and I was caught off guard by being pulled off the door frame, and my feet were also vacated, and the whole person was lifted out. Suddenly, the small figure escaped into my uneasy sight, trying to avoid turning away, but I couldn't, and my eyes suddenly tightened. Because Yuan'er's right hand was wrapped in a thick layer of white gauze and was hanging around his neck, he was playing with a little girl on the ground at the moment.

"What's wrong with Yuan'er?" When he asked, his voice tightened.

I didn't hear Ah Ping's response, but Xiao Yuan'er heard my voice and turned around, he blinked his eyes twice, and instead of rushing over happily as usual, he stood timidly and looked at me timidly and didn't speak.

The little girl noticed that her companion had shifted her attention, and she also looked over, it was a little girl with big eyes and a watery look, who stood up much taller than Yuan'er, and should be older than Yuan'er. There was curiosity in her eyes, and she pulled Xiao Yuan'er's clothes: "What's wrong, Your Highness?" Who is she? ”

Yuan'er turned her head, as if she didn't know how to answer. At this time, Yun Gu, who had been standing next to her, wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Ah Ping with her eyes, and Yun Gu retreated. So the focus on the field was on Yuan'er, he thought for a moment and then looked at me again, and called hesitantly: "Lan? ”

At this time, I couldn't turn around anymore, I stood there and watched Xiao Yuan'er walk towards me step by step, and when I got to the back, I found that my legs were trembling, if it wasn't for Ah Ping supporting my waist, I would have fallen to the ground.

Xiao Yuan'er walked up to me and looked up, her black eyes blinked, there was no confusion or confusion in her head, she just looked at me simply, but suddenly bumped into my lap without warning.

I was so frightened that I had to step back for fear of touching his injured right arm, which was being hoisted up. The knee was bent and Yuan Er hugged him with one hand, and then he was heard shouting: "Lan is awake, no longer sleeping." ”

Tears welled up in my eyes, I was deliberately alienating the child, but he thought I was sleeping, and expressed his happiness when he saw that I finally got up.

How can I feel embarrassed by this?

I struggled with Ah Ping's arm, and after he let go, I squatted down and wrapped my arms around Xiao Yuan'er, and said in a tense voice: "What's wrong with your right hand?" At first, he didn't quite understand what I meant, and when I tapped his right arm, I saw him frowning and saying, "It hurts." "The so-called mother-son heart-to-heart, hurt in the child's body and painful in the mother's heart, I am afraid to see Xiao Yuan'er is one thing, but his injury is another thing, I looked up in distress and asked: "How did Yuan'er's right arm hurt?" ”

Yun Gu walked out from the side and looked at Ah Ping, and then said to me: "Your Royal Highness broke your arm because of a fall from climbing a tree. ”

Climb trees? Fracture! I was shocked and angry: "How could he let him climb a tree at such a young age?" Yun Gu's eyes shrank, and explained in a low voice: "His Royal Highness sneaked out to play, and many people went to look for him, and when he found it, His Royal Highness fell under the tree and fainted. ”

"Why didn't anyone report this to me?"

"At that time, the mother was asleep."

Yun Gu's words silenced me, what right do I have to blame others for not reporting to me? And where was Xiao Yuan'er when she was injured? Lying in bed and sticking to self-isolation.

There is a crack in the ice lake in my heart, and Yuan'er is the one who chiseled this crack. Especially when he said with tears in his eyes in front of me, "Lan Huhu, pain." "I couldn't help but take him into my arms anymore, but I had to be careful not to press on his injured arm.

At such a young age, the bones must be very fragile, and how painful it is to break a bone. It's sad that I wasn't there at the time, and it's even more sad that my neglect caused Yuan'er to suffer this pain. Hearing behind him, Ah Ping asked Yun Gu in a shallow voice: "Has Yuan'er eaten?" Yun Gu responded: "No, His Royal Highness had a good time with the slave's daughter and refused to go back to the house for dinner. ”

I rolled my eyes in surprise, "Is that your daughter Aunt Yun?" However, isn't the girl you gave birth to before about the same age as Yuan'er? "How did you suddenly grow so big? Yun Gu smiled when she heard this: "Niangniang, you recognize the wrong person, this is my eldest daughter, and it was my second daughter that I brought when I entered the palace before." ”

I see, it's been too long for me to forget about it, and I hugged the girl at that time. I saw that the little girl was very clever and asked, "What's her name?" Unexpectedly, before Aunt Yun could answer, the little girl replied first: "My name is Xin'er." ”

Yuan'er turned back from my arms and immediately turned from crying to laughter: "Xinxin, come." ”

Xin'er was still young and didn't know how to be afraid, so she walked over and took Xiao Yuan'er's hand and said, "Let's go back and play again." ”

When I looked at it, I saw that the ground was made of yellow sand and had a strange shape, which at first glance looked like a sand table used in war.

"Let's go get ready for dinner." Ah Ping commanded in a low voice beside him.

Yun Gu immediately responded and stopped Xin'er from playing anymore, and the girl obediently let go of Yuan'er's little hand. And Yuan'er raised his eyes and looked at his father, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Back in the hall, the meal was served to the table. Yuan'er sat upright on the chair, while Xin'er stood aside, and I couldn't help but speak: "Let Xin'er eat together." Yun Gu looked surprised, and hurriedly replied: "Xin'er and His Royal Highness have different identities, so they can't eat at the same table." I frowned slightly, and just wanted to speak again but was interrupted by Ah Ping: "This chicken soup Xiaoqi has been boiling for a long time, you can also drink a bowl." As he spoke, he had already filled a bowl of chicken soup and pushed it in front of me.

The chicken broth was fragrant, with a light layer of butter floating on it, but as soon as the smell of meat hit my nose, I felt a sense of nausea welling up. "I've already eaten it, let's give this soup to Yuan'er." I wanted to push the bowl of soup in front of Yuan'er, but Ah Ping held his hand, and he shook his head at me: "He has Yun Gu to help serve the soup, you drink this bowl, do you need me to feed it?" ”

I lowered my eyes, was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's a little oily." ”

He didn't say much, just skimmed off the layer of butter on the soup with a spoon, and the rest of the chicken broth was very clear. I had no choice but to bow my head and drink, there was no greasy taste, and the drink was light and light, and the umami gradually spread on the tip of the tongue.

A bowl bottoms out, at least there is no feeling of wanting to vomit. But seeing that Ah Ping was about to serve soup again, he hurriedly stopped his hand and said, "I don't need to drink it." He looked at him, "I haven't eaten yet." ”

...... "Well, I was wrong.

However, seeing that he served a bowl of soup, he pushed it in front of Yuan'er, and then served another bowl to himself. Yuan'er's eyes were bent, and he bluntly expressed that he loved chicken soup very much and was anxious to drink it. As soon as my heart tightened, I immediately stopped: "Hot! Wait a while before drinking. ”

Yuan'er raised her eyes, "Lan, blow." ”

In fact, I wouldn't have asked him to ask for it, but I couldn't have a sour nose when I heard him ask for this. I thought that half a year of sleep and avoiding him after waking up would inevitably make him strange and alienated from me, but his world never seemed to put me aside.

While blowing the soup, tears rolled down, and my little hand reached over to wipe my tears, "Don't cry, Yuan'er huhu." Thinking that I was uncomfortable, the little face leaned over to me and exhaled, and accidentally sprayed saliva on my face.

It was Ah Ping who stopped him, and Xiao Yuan'er obediently ate something. It was observed that Yuan'er seemed to be a little afraid of his father, and basically he didn't dare to object to what Ah Ping said. Looking back, I saw that Yun Gu quietly left the inner hall with her heart, leaving only our family of three, I don't know if it was the eyes of Ah Ping, but from the atmosphere just now, I could detect that something had changed.

It's like in the past, in Lanyuan, Yun Gu and Yan Qi would often sit at the table together, but just now I just wanted Xin'er's little girl to eat with Yuan'er, so I was intentionally or unintentionally diverted the topic. And interpreting Ah Ping's behavior as stopping my proposal, there is an inexplicable feeling that something seems to be quietly changing when I wake up from a dream.

This change does not include Ah Ping's condensation towards me, but in his condensation of the people around him, like a barrier and a sense of distance. Is this what happened after the imperial power? The so-called lonely family may come from this way.
