"I haven't seen my mother for a long time, I don't know how my mother is lately?" After Li Jingzong saluted Li Ling, he asked Li Ling in a slightly excited voice, he really hadn't seen his daughter for some years, and it seemed that Li Ling had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion after the Mid-Autumn Festival when he first entered the palace, and he hadn't seen him again, and six or seven years had passed.

"With Lao's father in mind, everything is fine." There was a faint smile on Li Ling's face, and her tone was also very flat, which was different from Li Jingzong's slightly excited voice.

Seeing such a moody pear ling, Li Jingzong smiled bitterly and said, "I've worked hard for you all these years." ”

Li Ling didn't answer Li Jingzong's somewhat emotional words, and said directly: "The letter written by this palace to my father, my father should have seen it, right?" I wonder what my father is thinking about? ”

"This ......" Li Jingzong was obviously a little caught off guard, he didn't expect Li Ling to be so direct, Li Jingzong sighed and said, "I am a little worried about my father." ”

"Father is not at ease, or does he not believe it?" Riya's smile was a little cold.

"Ling'er......" Li Jingzong looked at Li'er, his expression was indistinguishable.

"Bengong understands, my father doesn't believe in Bengong, I'm afraid that Bengong will lie to you," the corners of Liling's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and soon Liling covered up this mockery, changed his tone, no longer with a cold attitude, but looked at Lijingzong with some sadness: "Since the death of the mother, in this world, there is no complete belief in the daughter's relatives, right?" ”

Li Jingzong heard Li Ling mention the silhouette of flowers, and Li Jingzong's face was a little loose.

"But my father looks at me now, although I am a noble concubine, but I have always been grounded, the eighth prince has been born for so long, and he has never come to see him, what else does my father suspect?" Rika also sighed.

The "he" in Liling's mouth naturally refers to the emperor's prayer in the east.

"Speaking of which, father hasn't seen your grandson and granddaughter yet, has he?!" Li Ling put away that sadness, and said with a smile instead: "Zhihe, go and let Mingxiu and Lian Yu bring the fifth princess and the eighth prince!" ”

Li Jingzong watched Li Ling go from bland to indifferent to sad and finally happy, and he didn't sigh in his heart, his daughter has long been different, he should really rest assured.

After a while, Mingxiu and Lian Yu came with the fifth princess and the eighth prince, who was still young and was held in Lianyu's arms.

"Le'er, this is your grandfather, scream!" The Eighth Prince is only more than a month old, and it is naturally impossible for the Eighth Prince to be called by the Eighth Prince, so only the fifth princess is called Li Jingzong.

The fifth princess opened her eyes wide, and looked at Li Jingzong with some surprise, she had never seen Li Jingzong, so she was very unfamiliar with the creature "maternal grandfather", but she still said to Li Jingzong crisply: "Maternal grandfather! ”

"Eh, eh!" Li Jingzong replied happily, this is the first time that someone has called him grandfather, although Li Manrou has been married to Gu Minghe for some years, she has never been pregnant, so naturally no one calls him grandfather.

"Mother, who is my grandfather?" Qile couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Ling touched Qile's head, and then said gently: "My grandfather is the father of the concubine, and the father of the concubine has to be called my grandfather!" ”

"Oh." Qile nodded as if he didn't understand, and then couldn't help but look at Li Jingzong.

Li Jingzong only felt that his heart was about to be turned into a little man, it was not that there were no children at home, but he never felt that Qile was so well-behaved, so he couldn't help but hug Qile.

Qile was originally a little resistant, but seeing that her mother didn't have any opinions on this, she pouted and accepted Li Jingzong's embrace.

Li Jingzong hugged Qile while looking at the eighth prince An'er in Lian Yu's arms.

"My daughter gave the Eighth Prince a nickname, called An'er!" Seeing that Li Jingzong was looking at the Eighth Prince, Li Ling took the initiative to say that the Eighth Prince's nickname was An'er.

Li Jingzong was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's good to call An'er!" Peace and sound! ”

"But no, An'er's life is destined to be not peaceful, I named him An'er, I just hope that no matter what happens, he can spend it safely." There is something to say in the words of the pear girl.

"The fifth princess is called Le'er, right? Good! Joy, peace, and joy! Li Jingzong nodded, very happy to see the fifth princess and the eighth prince.

Saying that, Li Jingzong put Qi Le down, and then untied a purse on his body, and after opening the purse, he took out a string of Buddhist beads from it and put it on Qi Le's wrist, Qi Le's wrist was too small to wear the Buddha beads, so Li Jingzong put the Buddha beads directly in Qi Le's hand, and then said: "Take it, this is a gift from your grandfather!" ”

Then Li Jingzong tied the empty purse around his waist again.

Qile seemed to like the string of Buddha beads very much, and looked at it again and again in his hand, and smiled sweetly at Li Jingzong at the end: "Thank you, grandfather!" ”

Li Ling was a little surprised, the purse on Li Jingzong's body had been with Li Jingzong for many years, she remembered that she seemed to have seen Li Jingzong have such a purse by her side when she was very young, even if it was washed and old, she didn't see Li Jingzong throw it away, but she didn't know what was in the purse, but it turned out to be a string of Buddhist beads.

However, since the purse has been with Lijingzong for so many years, this string of Buddhist beads must also be a very important thing for Lijingzong, why did he give Qile a child like this?

After Li Jingzong gave a meeting gift to Qile, he naturally would not leave An'er, he took off the jade wrench of his thumb with his right hand, and then put it in An'er's swaddling clothes, and whispered to An'er, who was completely ignorant: "This is my grandfather's meeting gift to An'er!" An'er, my grandfather's wish in this life depends on you! ”

After that, Li Jingzong turned around and walked away, leaving only a back for Li Ling to fade away.

Li Ling knew what Li Jingzong's wish was in this life.

She picked up the jade wrench that Li Jingzong put in An'er's swaddling clothes, and looked carefully, she knew this wrench, which was a token that could mobilize all the money in the Prime Minister's Mansion, with this jade wrench, she could get all the money that Li Jingzong had gotten over the years, and when she saw Li Jingzong take out this wrench and give it to An'er, and said the sentence "My grandfather's wish depends on you", she knew that her goal today was achieved.

She should be happy that the goal has been achieved, shouldn't she? But why is it a burst of sourness in my heart?

Li Ling didn't speak, holding the jade wrench finger in one hand, and holding Qile's hand in the other, looking at Li Jingzong's slightly old back, and then couldn't help but redden.

When Li Jingzong walked away, Li Ling said to Qile with red eyes: "Le'er, remember, this is your grandfather." ”

Qile nodded and asked ignorantly, "Mother, why are you crying?" Then he raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes for Liling.

Li Ling held Qi Le's little hand, smiled at Qi Le reluctantly, and then looked at the direction of Li Jingzong's departure again, this glance, full of thoughts.

Some people are like this, you don't know whether to love or hate, you should be the closest relative, but you have never been close, you should hate him, but you can't help but be soft on him, feeling sorry for his growing gray hair and aging back.

Over the years, she has been close, hated, resented, and incomprehensible, and in the end she has ignored, used, and understood, and now, she is reluctant.

From now on, I'm afraid there will be no chance to see you again.

"Daddy!" Li Ling opened her mouth lightly and shouted in the direction that there was no one for a long time, no longer a cold "father", but a "father" with indistinguishable feelings, although it was impossible for Li Jingzong to hear it.

Zhihe and Lianyu on the side looked at this scene and couldn't help but want to cry.
