Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

living room reunion

Nangong Shunv looked at Qi Yuxiao who was playing not far away, her heart was complicated and emotional.

The quality of this child is really easy to feel pity, for example, the people around her are very close, but never clingy.

This scale is difficult even for adults to control, let alone a three-year-old child?

Perhaps this is nature, this child is born with such a precious character.She is mostly defenseless towards the people around her, and she seldom admits to life, but she never clings to anyone or asks others to do something for her.

At this moment, Nangong Shunv brought Qi Yuxiao to the main hall with some ulterior purpose, and she didn't know what the two of them were doing in the room. It had been more than two hours, even Nangong Shunv It was a bit annoying to wait, but Qi Yuxiao didn't show any dissatisfaction or complaints.

Xianyi sat in Nangong Shunv's arms for a while, and after getting Nangong Shunv's permission, she ran to the side to play alone, looking back from time to time, and occasionally ran to Nangong Shunv with her head raised. With a serious face, she asked if Nangong Shu was hot and thirsty.After getting a negative answer, she would quickly run back to continue playing, how can such a child not like her?Is it just because it's not your own?

Nangong Shunv thought of the child's biological mother, the girl who was as pure as water.

A hint of melancholy welled up in Nangong Shunv's heart, she beckoned, and Qi Yuxiao happily ran over, calling sweetly: "Second aunt~!"

Nangong Shunv smiled and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat off the little guy's face, and said softly: "Second Aunt has some business to go out of the palace, how about Yuxiao playing in the yard by herself?"

Qi Yuxiao nodded and asked, "When will Second Aunt come back?"

Nangong Shunv: "I might sleep out today. If you have something to do, go find Qiu Ju. Your father and mother will be coming out soon."

Qi Yuxiao turned his head to look at the closed palace door, and then looked up at Shunv Nangong. She didn't refuse but showed unconcealable reluctance. Shunv Nangong raised her hand and touched the top of Qi Yuxiao's head, He whispered a few words in her ear, got up and left.

... The chess game in the room has also reached its final juncture. After the black and white twins kept raising each other's pieces in a square inch, it finally came to an end.

Qi Yan held a sunspot in his hand for several breaths, and put the chess piece back into the chess box with a chuckle: "Your Highness is superb at chess, I throw the piece and admit defeat."

A knowing smile bloomed on Nangong Jingnv's face, she straightened her waist and replied lightly: "Accepted." Nangong Jingnv looked at Qi Yan, and the other party's face was calm, which somewhat made her feel a bit boring.

"Did you try your best in this game of chess?" Nangong Jingnv herself was surprised why she would ask such a question.She looked at Qi Yan, the other's expression didn't even fluctuate, as if what she asked was just an insignificant question.

The more Qi Yan behaves like this, the more uncomfortable Nangong Jingnu feels. In her perception, this is not the behavior that a loser should have...

The thoughts in Nangong Jingnv's mind had already started to overflow, so Qi Yan slowly pulled her eyes away from the chessboard, smiled gently, and replied softly: "Of course I did my best, Your Highness has improved so much in chess, Your Majesty Humbled."

Nangong Jingnv pursed her lips and said nothing, Qi Yan said again: "According to the agreement just now, the subject lost and I will let His Highness handle it."

Nangong Jingnv said without interest: "Forget it, it's just a joke. It's just a game of chess..."

But Qi Yan replied seriously: "No, if the minister wins this game of chess, he will definitely ask His Highness for the lottery."

Nangong Jingnu and Qi Yan looked at each other for a long time, and said: "Then, you can do something for me."

Qi Yan: "Okay."

……

The servant girl from the imperial dining hall came to report: Lunch has been prepared.

Qiu Ju raised her eyes to look at the sky, then at Qi Yuxiao who was playing alone in the yard, pushed open the palace door and walked in.

Qiu Ju knocked on the door of the bedroom: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, lunch is ready. His Highness Yan Yang has been playing in the yard for two hours. Do you want her to come in?"

As soon as Qi Yan heard that Xiao Yuxiao was coming, she got up and walked out, Nangong Jingnv also followed.

Qi Yan: "Yu Xiao!"

Qi Yuxiao was digging the soil in the corner, when he heard Qi Yan's call, he put down the branch in his hand and rushed over: "Father~!"

Qi Yan squatted down, saw Qi Yuxiao's dirty little face, smiled and took out a silk handkerchief from his cuff: "Are you here alone? Why don't you let someone tell you?"

Qi Yuxiao smiled brightly: "The ants in the yard are moving, and I'm helping!"

After Qi Yan finished wiping Qi Yuxiao's face, seeing that her hands and cuffs were also covered with dirt, she immediately picked her up: "Father will take you in to wash your hands."

Turning around, just in time to see Nangong Jingnv following out, Qi Yuxiao called out sweetly: "Mother."

Nangong Jingnv nodded: "Take her in for a bath, I will wait for you in the imperial dining hall."

……

In order to create some "opportunities" for her Royal Highness the princess and the son-in-law, Qiu Ju took her servants and retreated without Nangong Jingnv's order. However, Qi Yuxiao, who was only three years old, could not eat independently. He took her bowl naturally: "What would Yuxiao want to eat?"

Qi Yuxiao glanced at it, then pointed to the shredded mutton on the table: "Meat meat."

Qi Yan picked up a piece of mutton and tore it into small strips and mixed it with the rice. After thinking about it, he scooped up a little leek and sprinkled it on top.

Qi Yan: "Come on, open your mouth."

Qi Yuxiao chewed a few times and said happily, "It's delicious!"

Qi Yan hooked the corner of her mouth, her heart felt soft.

If you look carefully, you can see some shadows of Xiaodie when she was young in the brows of the little guy, and even the taste is so similar.

Qi Yan remembered that when she and Xiaodie were young, she would take care of Xiaodie's meals at all banquets, and also tear the mutton into smaller pieces and pile them together, and sprinkle a few drops of leek flowers...

Qi Yuxiao brought his cheerful temperament to the dining hall, and spoke as soon as he had time in his small mouth.

Qi Yuxiao: "Father~, when will you take me to ride a horse?"

Qi Yan: "If you have free time these few days, come and have another bite."

Qi Yuxiao looked away, and said again: "Can father accompany Yuxiao these few days?"

Qi Yan: "I will accompany you as much as possible, come, have a bite."

Qi Yuxiao just opened his mouth to bite the rice, chewed it a few times and asked vaguely: "Then when you ride a horse, does mother also go with you?"

Qi Yan replied patiently: "I can't decide this, you can ask your mother yourself."

Qi Yuxiao stole a glance at Nangong Jingnv, lowered her voice and said, "Father~, you should ask~!"

Qi Yan: "Come on, open your mouth..."

Nangong Jingnv put down her chopsticks and looked at the father and daughter in front of her.

The rice in Qi Yan's bowl was basically untouched, and Qi Yuxiao only ate less than half of the bowl.She looked at the faces of the two of them, and found that Qi Yan had a great talent for raising children. After thinking about it carefully, she was soon relieved. This person's gentle personality and gentle tone are indeed easy for children to like.

But Qi Yuxiao's noise was something that Nangong Jingnv didn't expect, it was even worse than her own back then, and now she became more determined to replace the jelly grass and ganoderma lucidum.

Seeing Qi Yan remove the grains of rice sticking to Qi Yuxiao's cheeks, holding a spoon and chasing Qi Yuxiao's head that was shaking like a rattle drum, and softly coaxing her to take another bite, Nangong Jingnv couldn't bear it. I kept thinking: how could this person be more like a mother than myself?She has never seen a man who can coax a child so patiently and gently.

Nangong Jingnv had almost finished eating, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Let me come."

One big and one small turned their heads together, Nangong Jingnv stretched out her hand: "Give me the bowl, you can eat first."

Qi Yan: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnv took the bowl and glanced at Qi Yuxiao. The latter obediently climbed down from the chair and went around to the opposite side and climbed onto the chair next to Nangong Jingnv. This time, she didn't need to be hugged...

The huge imperial dining hall finally returned to its proper tranquility. Nangong Jingnv didn't even ask Qi Yuxiao what he wanted to eat, and just picked out some light, soft and glutinous food, suitable for children, and fed it to Qi Yuxiao. Then he opened his mouth obediently, and he could eat whatever his mother fed him—not picky eaters anymore.

Qi Yan couldn't help sighing softly when he saw it: So this little guy also knows how to "be proud of being favored"?Didn't you just say you don't like vegetables?Didn't this also be eaten...

Although Qi Yan was eating in silence, she kept paying attention to Nangong Jingnv. Although she did not interact with Qi Yuxiao, she fed every mouthful of food with great care, and the dishes were well matched, and she was waiting for Qi Yuxiao to give her food. The food in the mouth is swallowed before feeding.

Qi Yan thought with relief: Nangong Jingnv may not like this child, but her kind nature determines that she will never treat this child harshly.

After dinner, Nangong Jingnv sent Qiu Ju to the Nuan Pavilion to pick up two clean clothes, while she went to the study to study.

But not long after, the big and the young appeared in the study holding hands...

After a lot of hard work, Nangong Jingnv had to put down the scroll in her hand, and the family of three went to the racecourse to ride a horse.

For three days like this, the father and daughter appeared on time to "harass" Nangong Jingnv, and finally on the third night, "Nangongrang" issued three imperial decrees in a row.

Previously, Zuo Pushe, Minister of Shangshu, begged him to resign and return to his hometown due to his advanced age. After more than half a year, Nangong Rang finally gave his permission.

Then it was: promotion of Lu Boyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, to Zuo Pushe of Zhongshu Province.

The third imperial decree is: Qi Yan, the prefect of Jinzhou, has made great achievements in governing the region, and he was specially transferred back to Beijing and promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Overnight, Qi Yan changed from the local prefect to the six ministers, and there is no reason not to go to court...

Less than an hour after Qi Yan received the imperial decree, a palace servant came to report: His Highness Zhen Zhen has arrived.

Qi Yan got up and received the imperial decree in the wooden box and placed it on a high place, and knelt down outside the bedroom: "My lord, Qi Yan sees Your Highness."

Nangong Jingnu: "Get up, no one is left here to serve you."
