First Concubine

Chapter 280 Extra: A loving mother and a filial son (4)

 The father-in-law weighed the weight and hummed: "Okay, be more careful next time! Not everyone has such a good temper like my father-in-law!" As he said this, he put the silver lock into his sleeve.

A hint of secret joy flashed across Aunt Zhuang's eyes, but she was not secretly happy that she had bribed many father-in-laws. She was about to leave, but she heard Grandpa Duo exclaim, "Ah! What is this?" She saw a purple belt at Duo'er's feet. This... this was not the one that the emperor accidentally lost in the Xi clan. That one? Grandpa Duo picked it up and asked Duo'er sternly, "What happened? You actually stole the royal thing!"

Duo'er was so frightened that her legs became weak. She glanced at Aunt Zhuang and saw Aunt Zhuang winking at her. She closed her eyes and forced herself to answer: "I didn't steal it, it was...I picked it up!"

Xun Yi arrived at the scene and heard Duo'er's last words. Could it be that...she was the woman who snatched the tiger cub from him? Xun Yi strode forward and grabbed Duo'er's wrist. A silk handkerchief flew out of Duo'er's hand. At this time, Xun Yi believed that she was the black-hearted woman. Xun Yi smiled evilly and said in a loud voice: "My dear father-in-law, when did I throw away my belt?"

 Eunuch Duo replied truthfully: "Reply to the emperor, half a month ago."

"It's been half a month." Xun Yi raised his eyebrows, his smiling eyes swept over the faces of Duo'er and Aunt Zhuang with different expressions, and said: "It is a heinous crime to hide royal items secretly! Put them into a violent room! Without me, According to the instructions, no food is allowed!”

　　Duo'er was almost dying of anxiety, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life! This servant didn't know that it was the Emperor's belt at first! That day, the Emperor was wearing casual clothes..."

"Haha, I know now, so I regret it. I want to be like a dragon and a phoenix. I deliberately rush into my palace to lure me to meet you? It's a stupid plan!" Duo'er and Aunt Zhuang dragged her down.

Aunt Zhuang was so regretful that her intestines were turning green. Didn't Qing'er say that the little emperor had ripped off her belly? He also stuffed Doudu into his arms little by little. Wasn't this because he was interested in the little master?

When Shui Linglong walked to the imperial garden, she heard a commotion. She asked her son, "What happened?"

Xun Huan raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Oh, it's nothing, just two flies. Brother Huang drove them away."

Shui Linglong was not interested in getting to the bottom of it. She knelt down and held Xun Huan's hand and said softly: "I got the bodhi seed. When the prince refines the elixir, Xun Huan, you can be like a normal person." Then, our family of five The mouth can be reunited.

Xun Huan smiled gracefully, and his slender jade-like fingers slowly lingered on Shui Linglong's face, "Yeah, I get it." Not very excited!

Shui Linglong's eyes moved slightly and her tone increased, "Believe me, I can really cure you this time!"

Xun Huan just smiled and nodded. Shui Linglong sighed secretly, why doesn't this child believe it? Shui Linglong changed the subject, "Did you have a good meal during my absence?"

"Of course, I have a cup of milk, an egg, and half a bowl of noodles in the morning, a full bowl of rice at noon, and a little less in the evening, half a bowl, but I eat them all. So, I'm not sick!" In the palace, Sister Nao finished her answer very seriously and looked at Zhuge Yu as if she was taking credit, "I'm so obedient, how are you going to reward me?"

Fifteen-year-old Sister Mi'er is tall and graceful, her appearance is like Shui Linglong, but more beautiful than Shui Linglong. When Zhuge Yu looked at her like this, he seemed to see his former wife in a trance. He was fifteen years old when he met her. Time flies, years pass by, and their children are now so old.

Sister Mi shook Zhuge Yu's arm and said, "Father, are you hungry? I'll cook for you! My brother is about to finish school!"

Zhuge Yu stroked his daughter's temples lovingly, "No, just ask the kitchen to cook. You sit down and talk with me." Looking at his daughter will make him think of her, and his heart will hurt and make him feel lonely when he thinks of her, but he is still I can’t help but think about it.

Sister Nan smiled coquettishly, and her sweet and lovely look made Zhuge Yu feel like he was going back in time. He was slightly startled, and touched her eyebrows with his big palm, "Linglong."

Sister Min's eyes trembled and she quickly turned her back. Tears were already streaming down her face. She wiped them away and said with a smile as usual: "I'm going to cook!"

 Zhuge Yu's eyes were filled with sadness and loss, "I'm sorry, I..."

"Father, you haven't changed your shoes yet." Sister Mi interrupted Zhuge Yu, took dry shoes from the shoe cabinet, knelt down and changed his shoes for him. She didn't dare to look up for fear that her father would see her hair. Red eyes.

 Going to the small kitchen to cook some home-cooked dishes, Sister Shen asked her servants to bring the dishes into the house. Brother Hong hadn't come back yet, so the two of them sat aside and waited. Zhuge Yu did nothing, just looked at his daughter with a fond smile in his eyes, "What are you doing?"

Sister Min stared at the needle and thread moving rapidly in her hands and replied: "My brother has grown taller again. The new winter coat I made is two inches too short. I will make a new one."

Zhuge Yu leaned back in his chair, tilted his head slightly and looked at his daughter. He seemed to see his wife again, and his throat... felt a little swollen and painful. I don't know how much time passed, Sister Shen rubbed her sore eyes, folded the finished clothes and put them on the bedside, then opened the suitcase that Zhuge Yu brought back from the Xi tribe, and put the brocade clothes, winter clothes, underwear, and underwear. Take out all the trousers. These clothes are all made of Shui Linglong. Zhuge Yu cherishes them very much and is reluctant to throw them away if they are broken, so Sister Nao will check them every once in a while. After careful screening, Sister Nan picked out a brocade dress and a set of winter clothes and began to sew and mend them.

 After Sister Nan finished mending all the clothes, Brother Hong finally returned to the palace. Brother Hong inherited Zhuge Yu's appearance advantages, handsome, masculine, and tall. He strode into the room, like a bright ray of sunshine shining in, and the whole room suddenly lit up because of him, "Haha! Father, sister, I'm back!"

Zhuge Yu smiled kindly and said, "Come in and sit down."

Sister Mi glanced at him, but her face sank, "What have you done? Are you back so late? Didn't you know we were waiting for you to eat?"

Brother Hong, who was originally so arrogant and high-spirited, immediately stiffened after hearing his sister's shout. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "Good sister, don't be angry. It's almost the Chinese New Year. I went to the street to buy some fireworks. In a few days, I'll just play with you!"

Sister Nan got up, fetched hot water and washed his hands. While washing, she hummed: "Wouldn't you ask the servants to go shopping? You have to go there in person. Being hungry for a long time is not good for your stomach. Do you want to grow longer?" Are you tall? You are too weak, so no girl will look down on you..."

  Brother Hong smiled and listened to his sister's thoughts. He felt his sister's gentle fingertips lingering on his palm. He felt happy to be loved by his mother. For more than ten years, his sister had taken care of him and his father like a daughter, a wife, and a mother. He knew that his sister was trying hard to fill the vacancy of Linglong in the hearts of their father and son.

　　“I’m in a daze again!” Sister Min wiped her brother’s hand with a handkerchief. Seeing that he was in a daze, she gave him a blow.

 Brother Hong came to his senses and smiled, "You are so fierce, be careful not to find your in-laws!"

Sister Min turned around with the washbasin in hand and walked towards the clean room, "Huh! I don't want to get married yet!" If she gets married, what will these two men do?

After dinner, the three of them sat in the warm pavilion and chatted. This was the happiest moment for them every day. Zhuge Yu and Brother Hong sat on the edge of the Kang, and Sister Nao sat cross-legged inside. At this time, it was replaced by two grown men. Serving their little queen. Zhuge Yu cooked scented tea, Brother Hong peeled walnuts, and Sister Nao ate and drank with a smile. After finishing the fifth walnut, Zhuge Yu brought the plate to the round table nearby and said, "You can't eat any more, or you'll get angry."

Sister Mian shrugged and said, "By the way, Father, Mrs. Yao sent me an invitation for her birthday on the 21st of this month."

 Zhuge Yu looked troubled, "I will not stop bathing that day."

 Brother Hong spread his hands and said, "I want to go to school."

Zhuge Yu looked at his daughter with a slightly wrinkled face, caressed her hair and said, "If you want to meet Handkerchief, go and see her. If you don't want to go, just stay at the house. There is no need to socialize."

Sister Min smiled and said, "I just got together with them a few days ago, so I won't go."

The three of them chatted happily for a while. Zhuge Yu got up and went to the secret room to refine the elixir. The children went back to the yard, but Sister Min turned around and went to the small kitchen. Xun Huan's heart was damaged and he had been relying on the elixir refined by Zhuge Yu to maintain his health over the years. Refining the heart-protecting elixir took a lot of energy and energy. Zhuge Yu was very weak every time he finished refining it, but he always chose to take a rest. Therefore, others do not know his condition.
