Chapter 123: Antecedents of Father-Son Grudges
"An An wants Chenchen and his father to dine with An An."
The glass-like eyes shimmered with stars, and the soft tone was irresistible.
The final result was that Xia Luochen and the emperor sat in the farthest place without disturbing the river water, and finished the meal with a cold face.
Although Bai Youan has been trying to enliven the atmosphere of the table, he found that when facing the emperor, Xia Luochen seemed to be unable to enter the salt.
Forget it, let's find a way next time, let's eat it first.
"Brother Chen, you try this, the sweet shrimp from the south is delicious." Song Yu's face was slightly red, and after struggling for a long time, he still mustered up the courage to use chopsticks to clip shrimp for Xia Luochen.
This action attracted the attention of everyone present, and Bai Youan also stopped his action of pulling rice, but his face was still buried in the bowl, but he only raised his eyes slightly, and his eyes turned around.
Broken! It seems that there are two women who like Xianyuan, and they are both beautiful sisters, so how to choose the fish?
It's tangled, it's tangled.
It doesn't seem like it's a good thing to be too appealing.
But Bai Youan should have been too worried, Xia Luochen suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth elegantly and stood up.
"I'm full, and I still have some official business to take care of in the study."
After speaking, he left without looking back, and the shrimp in the bowl just now had not moved.
The atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while, and the emperor blew his beard and glared, eager to pull this rebel over now.
Every time there is a woman who wants to be good to him, he looks like a ghost, and now there is still no woman in the year of the weak crown, and he is really anxious to die of his old father.
Bai Youan was also dumbfounded, Xianyuan was really a wooden man, such a beautiful sister took the initiative to show her goodwill, and she could ignore it.
But the most embarrassing thing was Song Yu, her eyes were slightly red, and she seemed to be able to cry in the next second.
How could Bai You'an, who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, see this scene? Stretched out his small hand and grabbed the sweet shrimp in Xia Luochen's bowl directly, and stuffed it into his bulging mouth.
"Sister, An An loves to eat this sweet shrimp, it's delicious."
The flesh on his cheeks moved as he spoke, like a little hamster stealing food.
"An An likes her sister to peel shrimp for An An more." Song Yu knew that Bai Youan was comforting herself, and burst into laughter.
Hearing Bai Youan call Song Yu as his sister, the emperor corrected: "An An, is it not appropriate for you to call An Guifei and Song Yu sisters?"
"Hey, how can the emperor say that? The princess is still young, so she naturally doesn't understand this, and the princess can be regarded as dividing people into three, six, nine, etc., and treating them equally, which is the princess's demeanor. ”
When I heard this, the one who disagreed with her the most was Concubine An, and when she said it, she praised Bai You'an's behavior, which is the charm of language.
The bluffing emperor nodded quite approvingly, and his eyes were particularly bright when he looked at Concubine An.
"What the concubine said is very true."
Bai Youan watched the two of them talk quietly, one with doting eyes, the other with a shy and slightly disgusted look, which seemed to be different from the relationship between the emperor and Emperor Su Guifei that he had seen before.
However, the young Bai Youan still didn't understand why.
After the end, Bai Youan wanted to find Xia Luochen as soon as possible, but was stopped by the emperor and whispered alone.
"An An, I ask you, is Chen'er injured?" Although the emperor was calm, the concern in his eyes still couldn't deceive people.
These words made Bai Youan hesitate for a while, her eyes flickered and dodged, Xia Luochen obviously didn't want the emperor to know, but the emperor asked her quietly.
"An'an, I know that Chen'er won't let you tell me, he resents me." The emperor's voice seemed to have aged a lot for a while, and there was a faint wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
I could always feel that Xia Luochen was not kind to people, but Bai Youan didn't know why, and now he couldn't help asking, "Why?"
The emperor retreated left and right, and pulled Bai Youan to sit on the steps together, friendly and casual, and patted her little hands with his rough big hands.
"That was many years ago." The emperor hadn't mentioned it to anyone for a long time, but looking at Bai Youan's clear eyes, he had a desire to speak.
"Chen'er wasn't like that when he was young, he was as active as you, but since that accident ten years ago, he has had a dislike for me."
Bai Youan stretched out his little hand to support his chin, his black grape-like eyes were full of questions, and he quietly waited for the emperor to continue.
"Ten years ago, Emperor Su's second child could not be saved, she was grief-stricken, all the clues pointed to the queen at that time, that is, Chen'er's biological mother, I believe in the queen's personality, but the evidence is conclusive, plus the foundation of the court is unstable, and the support of the Su family is needed, I can only put the queen into the cold palace first, I was going to make a show, and I will release it soon, but I didn't expect ......"
At this, his face was grief-stricken, and it seemed that he could no longer continue.
"So, the queen is dead, isn't she?" Although I didn't hear the follow-up plot, Bai Youan could also think of it.
The emperor nodded: "The queen was so humiliated that she committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam in the cold palace, and this matter was over, and in the end, she couldn't return her innocence."
Now Bai Youan seems to understand why Xia Luochen can't accept the emperor so much, if the queen is really wronged, then the emperor is the murderer of his biological mother.
Unexpectedly his cold face, Bai Youan felt a throbbing pain in his heart, it turned out that Xianyuan had endured so much suffering.
"An An, you also think that I have done something wrong, for so many years, I have been trying to find a way to make up for it, but he didn't give me a chance." The emperor looked up with a painful face, and his heart was also very sad.
Many years have passed since the gap between father and son, but it has not yet been bridged.
From Bai Youan's point of view, she really can't defend the emperor, because in her heart, Xia Luochen is the best immortal.
"An An, for so many years, you are the only person who can get close to him, and my father also loves you, so now I can only ask you for help."
At this time, the emperor, where is there still half a point of majesty on weekdays, just like an ordinary father, with pain and remorse.
Just looking at it also made Bai You's heart unbearable, but this was not an important reason why she told the truth, she wanted to know who had contact with Xia Luochen when she was a child.
"Father, after Chenchen was born, did anything bizarre happen? Or out of your sight. ”
The emperor didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, it really happened.
"When I was young, I had a high fever, which was particularly dangerous, and I almost died, and the queen was still alive at that time, and I heard that there was a way to resolve it when I got the monk, but I wanted to take away the half moon, and I never left the queen's side except for that time."
"Does the father know who the enlightened monk is? And who introduced it? Bai Youan continued to ask.
The emperor thought for a moment and said: "It seems that it is someone from the Su family who brought it to Taichang Temple, and the senior monk calls himself a Penglai immortal, which is very rare."
These words made Bai You'an feel alarmed
