I don't know if the voice I just heard in my dream was his, nor do I know if the words I answered in my mist, I really said it, and whether he was really heard by him. When I was about to see the reason from his face, I only saw his expression of neither joy nor anger, which made me unable to tell it.
But be careful in front of him and you will never be wrong.
As he said, I hugged Miaoyan without moving, but slowly sat upright. Although his hand was holding my shoulder, as if he wanted to press me to lie back on the couch, there were only three of us in the room, Miaoyan was ignorant and I really didn't have the intention to lie down like this in front of him.
So she slowly sat upright, moved a seat in her arms with Miaoyan in her arms, and then she calmed down and whispered in a low voice.
I hurriedly lowered my head and said softly: "Don't be afraid of my witty words, I'm here."
He also sat down on the edge of the couch and said, "It's okay, she will do this every time she wakes up, just coax it."
As he said that, he pinched the blanket covering us and frowned: "Why is it covered so thin? What if you catch a cold?"
I didn't say anything.
In fact, after the stove in the room was lit up, the whole room was warm. In addition, I hugged Miaoyan, the two of them would catch a cold when they slept together. I even sweated a little, but when I saw him just now, all the sweat suddenly shrank back, and I even felt a little cold at this moment.
As he said, Miaoyan wasn't really scared, she shrank into my arms and became quiet.
As soon as he sat on the couch, I felt a little uneasy. If I had to get up and go down to the ground, I had to pass him, but when I saw him, I didn't seem to be able to get out of the way, and I sat there stiffly for a moment.
His hand was put down from my shoulders, and then gently touched Miaoyan's face, as if teasing her, and said while teasing: "Nianshen comes here to ask you for peace."
"Um."
"I heard that he used something here."
"One bowl of rice, half a bowl of soup."
"He has been separated from you for so many years, but he is still so close to you."
“…”
I think he knew about this, and Nianshen never ate when he went to another palace, so he used a meal here today and was shocked to Kouer on the spot. Even he would mention this matter.
When I mentioned Mindan, I felt a little sad and said in a low voice: "He has grown up a lot."
"What kind of person do you think he will be in the future?"
“…”
I was a little surprised. I didn't know why he ran to this room, sat next to the couch, and talked to me about Nian Shen. However, since it was Nian Shen's business, I had a little "responsible" meaning. After thinking about it, I said softly: "Your Highness is a kind man."
"Renren?" He repeated these two words and looked at me with his eyes flashing: "Do you want to say that if he ascends the throne in the future, he will be a benevolent king?"
"I didn't think about the matter of ascension to the throne and benevolent monarch. I only thought of an old saying."
"……What?"
"The kind are invincible."
Pei Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, but immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had understood.
His breath blew across his face, and it felt a little hot. I stepped back a little. At this time, I saw a flash of candlelight outside. Susu and Madam Wu and others walked in with a few candlesticks. Seeing him sitting next to my couch, they were stunned for a moment, but they didn't say anything. Then they saw a few little palace maids entering one after another, holding boxes in their hands, and starting to place plates and bowls on the table.
I frowned slightly: "This is-"
"I know you haven't used dinner yet, so I specially asked them to come here."
"..." I looked at him.
"Let's go together."
He has already arrived at the door, so I can't drive him back. After all, this place is actually his territory. If you want to get out, it's not my turn to drive him, it's him who drives me. Moreover, I realized that I only stayed in the palace for the past two days, and tomorrow night will definitely be the New Year banquet for the palace. When he, the queen, and all the concubines, civil and military officials bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, I have already stated in advance that I will not attend any banquet, so the "reunion" he wants can only be tonight, this meal.
If it were anything else, I wouldn't give anything, but this one might be something Miaoyan could get in this life. Of course, I wouldn't have the heart to refuse a short reunion.
So, he nodded slightly: "Yes."
Seeing that I agreed, a smile appeared on his face.
Perhaps because there were more candlesticks in the room, the light became brighter. I just saw that his appearance as if he was about to be swallowed by the darkness was completely gone at this moment, leaving only a gentle smile, full of warmth.
He stood up and I came down with Miaoyan in my arms.
After lifting the thin quilt on his body, he immediately felt a chill. Madam Wu hurriedly brought me a big dress and put it on. After passing the tea, the food on the table was already arranged.
The last large pot of steaming soup was delivered by Eunuch Yu and his men.
The room suddenly felt an attractive fragrance.
I pulled Miaoyan to the side to wash her hands. Pei Yuanhao had already walked to the table and sat down, and then said with a smile: "I heard that you didn't eat anything during the day, but you can let go of your stomach and eat more at night. These dishes were specially ordered to prepare by the imperial kitchen, and they used half of the peppers they hid."
I washed Miaoyan's hands, wiped them clean, and then walked to the table and saw that it was true that several plates were red and filled with bright red peppers. Even if I didn't taste the spicy taste, it would make me sweat if I just looked at it.
"You can try it and see if it suits the taste."
"Um."
I sat down, picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. It turned out to be spicy and fragrant, very delicious, so I nodded: "Yes."
“How is it?”
"good."
"Then you eat more."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Yes."
I was a little hungry at first, and these fresh and spicy dishes were very appetizing, so I started eating them in big mouthfuls. While eating, I also picked up dishes for Miaoyan beside me. When Pei Yuanhao saw me picking up a piece of spicy chicken to her mouth, he immediately said, "It's so spicy, don't give it to her, right?"
I glanced at him: "She can eat spicy food."
"ah?"
“Eatable.”
After saying that, he touched her mouth with chopsticks, and Miaoyan obediently opened her mouth and ate the piece of chicken.
Pei Yuanhao seemed a little surprised: "She is so spicy?"
I said lightly: "It was not something that I could eat, but I lived with me for more than a year and then I slowly started to eat it. Later, the taste did not change. Then I went to Shu for a while and I could eat spicy food even more."
I even remember that when I went to Sanjiangkou to pick her up and Liu Qinghan into Sichuan, she could not change her face by eating spicy jelly, but Liu Qinghan was so spicy that she burst into tears and snot.
Pei Yuanhao's face was slightly depressed: "I don't know that she has been to so many places."
I was silent for a moment, and then said "ah".
Speaking of which, this is true. Compared with children of the same age, even as the crown prince of the country, Miaoyan's experience can be called "exciting". He has traveled almost all over the country, and he almost went out to sea to wander on the vast sea. It was simply a "legend".
I wonder if it is because my daughter was born in a bumpy carriage, so her life is also full of ups and downs?
Pei Yuanhao was also silent for a while, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Then, he also picked up some dishes for Miaoyan and put them on the plate, but the taste was relatively light, saying, "Although she likes spicy food, she shouldn't just let her go."
"Um."
"When I was a teenager, I tasted all the tastes. When I get older, I will lose all the tastes when I eat."
I didn't know what he meant for a moment. After quieting for a while, I felt a little aware of it. Then I nodded gently, picked up the dishes he sent to the plate, and carefully fed them to Miaoyan.
It was very windy and snow outside, but the room was very quiet.
He put the dishes into the bowl in front of Miaoyan, and I put them for Miaoyan to eat. The three of them cooperated and had a tacit understanding. After a meal, they didn't eat much. He just picked up the cup and took a drink between Miaoyan and me.
After a while of silence, he said again: "By the way, there is one thing I haven't asked you."
I looked up at him.
"What day is Miaoyan's birthday?"
"The tenth day of the first lunar month."
"Um?"
"It's her birthday on the tenth day of January."
He seemed a little surprised: "So close?"
It seems that he forgot when he first met Miaoyan. It was the day when Qinghan and I were rescued by him after experiencing his prison disaster. In fact, Miaoyan was less than two months old at that time, and at that time, she had almost experienced the destruction of her family.
Pei Yuanhao said: "So, she will be ten years old in another ten days."
I nodded: "Yeah."
He suddenly smiled, reached out to rub it, and said, "This is a big day!"
I glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Indeed, for Princess Miaoyan, her tenth birthday is indeed not a trivial matter, especially this year is the first year she has recognized her ancestors. Since Pei Yuanhao said that, he must have wanted some arrangements.
I thought about it and said, "But, it's better to take less care of her, a child."
Pei Yuanhao glanced at me.
I continued, "I don't know how blessed she has in this life, but it's always good for children to cherish blessings."
He was very happy at first, as if he was thinking about doing something for her. After hearing what I said, it seemed like he was blown in by the cold wind and became cold again.
After a while of silence, he didn't say anything, but drank all the remaining wine in the cup, and then poured another glass.
I subconsciously frowned.
Although it has nothing to do with me what he eats and drinks, at this time, if he is sober and rational, then I am willing to say a few words in a good way, but if I get drunk, there is nothing to say.
So, I turned to look at Madam Wu. Madam Wu obviously knew it, but she did not come up directly, but gently retreated. After a while, Madam Yu brought in a stove. Seeing Pei Yuanhao poured another glass of wine, she smiled and went forward and said, "Master, this is probably the third cup."
Pei Yuanhao glanced at him.
