Chang Anqing

Chapter 177 Zhao Yi's True Love
When Li Sui helped Mrs. Chen enter and sit down, the soft curtain behind him was raised again, and Li Zhang, who was tall and tall, walked in quietly under the leadership of Huichun, but his expression was somewhat indescribable. complicated.

"Huichun, order someone to prepare the meal."

"Ai--"

Hearing Chen's order with a calm expression, Huichun and Li Sui smiled at each other, and quickly responded, and bowed to Li Zhang with unconcealed joy when they left.

"I haven't seen you these days, why have you lost weight—"

Mrs. Chen pulled Li Sui to sit by her side, looked carefully at her daughter's face, and couldn't help but gently caressed the face of her daughter in front of her. Thinking of the death of Empress Yang's child, although she didn't mention it in her mouth, she understood in her heart that the daughter in front of her and Yang Yang The queen grew up together and loved her compatriots and sisters, so how could she not worry about her.

Seeing Chen's gradually sentimental gaze, Li Sui turned his head and looked at his father who was sitting alone under the window without saying a word. He was clearly here, but he was still alone and cold.

Everyone in the world admires the handsome man of the Li family in Longxi. .

But who would have thought that his father, who has always been as gentle as jade and treated others well, would be so cramped and cautious in front of his mother.

"Just now when Aye saw me when he left the palace, he also said the same thing as A Niang—"

Hearing his daughter's words mentioning himself, Li Zhang couldn't help looking over, but Chen Shi who was sitting next to Li Sui just paused, but didn't look over, as if he had already ignored the other person in the room.

Sensing Chen's indifference, Li Zhang's complicated and restless eyes gradually returned to calm and gloomy. At this moment, the sound of footsteps gradually sounded outside, and Hui Chunzhong, who was carrying tea and snacks, came in again, helping Li Zhang and Li Sui served some refreshments and looked at the strange silence in the room before finally making a sound.

"Princess, Erlang has come to greet you."

Hearing Hui Chun's words, Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he silently looked at the person under the window, his gaze became colder in an instant.

"Let them in."

After the words fell, Li Sui glanced at the silent father, and the next moment the wet nurse walked in with the little man in her arms.

Almost instantly, Li Zhang's expression under the window became a little gloomy when he noticed the people passing by, but at the same time, Chen's indifferent expression had already faded away, revealing a gentleness that Li Zhang hadn't seen for a long time.

"Erlang came to greet the princess. I hope the princess is safe and well. I greet the princess. I hope the princess will live forever."

Listening to the nurse's words, the little child saluted Chen Shi and Li Suicha in a dignified manner, and Chen Shi happily embraced Erlang in her arms, and handed over the easy-to-digest snacks on the table beside her. In front of Erlang.

Seeing the child holding the dim sum like a treasure and refusing to let go, Li Sui smiled and sat Erlang on his lap, then took the lucky money that had been prepared from Nian Nu and gave it to the wet nurse, saying: "You will take care of these Erlang keep it."

Seeing that the nurse accepted it respectfully and with restrained eyes, Mrs. Chen said slowly: "Ling Erlang has seen the Duke."

The wet nurse followed Chen's eyes and looked at Li Zhang under the window before realizing the identity of the person who came. The relaxed smile suddenly disappeared, and when she walked over with Erlang in her arms, her face was serious and nervous like never before. .

"Kingdom."

Seeing the nurse carefully hugging a small person, when Li Zhang met those pure and clear eyes, he couldn't help but think of the killing in his mind.

He knew that if Qinghe wanted to prevent him from meeting this child, she would have various ways to do it, and at this moment she clearly wanted to tell him clearly with this pair of clean eyes and the young and innocent life in front of him, the relationship between him and her What lies between them is not only family rivalry, but also endless killing and bloodshed.

When it was time to eat, the wet nurse had already retreated with Erlang, everyone in the house was summoned by Hua Chun, only Nian Nu and Yu Nu were left with her.

"I know you like to eat soup cakes, so Huichun got up early this morning to get busy, try her cooking."

Seeing the delicious food on the table, Mrs. Chen smiled and gestured to Li Sui. Seeing that Huichun was going to share the soup and cakes, Li Sui smiled and looked at Li Zhang who was sitting next to Mrs. Chen, and then said like a baby "Aniang, today's New Year's Eve, Chun Niang and the others are detained here to accompany us for dinner. Why don't you teach them to have fun on their own?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, Chen Shi paused, but Nian Nu had already received Li Sui's look, and after winking with Yu Nu, he bowed to Li Sui and the others while talking and laughing, and pulled Hui Chun back.

When the house fell into peace again, how could Mrs. Chen not understand Li Sui's intentions? At this moment, seeing the meaning in her daughter's eyes, Li Zhang finally coughed lightly, and stretched out his hand with a smile in his eyes. Rolling up his sleeves lightly, he served Chen Shi and Li Sui a bowl of hot soup cakes himself.

Li Sui silently looked at Chen Shi whose expression changed, smiled and lowered his head to take a bite, then looked at Chen Shi and Li Zhang and urged: "The soup cakes made by Chun Niang are delicious, and they are not inferior to those in the palace. "

Seeing the rare childlike appearance of her daughter in front of her, Chen couldn't help laughing out loud, and shook her head helplessly, but she didn't sink her face in the end, and looked down at the bowl of soup cakes that were still steaming hot. Shi lowered her head and picked some up with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. In the mist, Shi Chen saw Li Zhang and Ah Man who were buried in the soup and cakes beside her, and a small hole suddenly opened in her heart, and it was difficult for a while. The warm current that she noticed but couldn't stop slowly overflowed from it, making her unable to bear to lower her head even more, and her eyes gradually glowed with warmth.

When she married him and gave birth to Ah Man with him, she once thought that she was the happiest and most perfect person in the world.

Doting on her husband, lovely and filial daughter.

If this life continues like this, she will not be the most perfect princess in Da Zhou.

But no one, not even herself, thought that all the happiness would collapse so quickly, so quickly that she was caught off guard.

In the past few years, how long has it been since she had a meal like this, she seems to have forgotten.

Over the years, she has already gotten used to it without knowing it. She is used to guarding this table alone, eating porridge and vegetarian food, day after day.

When the meal was over, Li Zhang knew that Mrs. Chen had something to say to her daughter, so he had already taken the opportunity to leave, leaving a short time alone for the mother and daughter in the house.

In the silence, Mrs. Chen quietly looked at the charming girl in front of her, and gently raised her hand to caress Li Sui's temple with a smile, but she did not speak.

"Auntie, do you have something to say?"

Sensing the meaningful smile in Chen's eyes, Li Sui asked the question with that gentle stroking hand.

Chen Shi heard the words and smiled, then lightly stroked the cheeks of the young girl Ruxue and said: "In the past, Auntie couldn't help worrying about you, but now, Auntie realizes that Auntie's worries are unnecessary."

Hearing Chen's sudden words, Li Sui looked over in surprise, but saw that Chen's rare smile deepened.

"A few days ago, Zhao Yi came over."

Zhao Yi?

Hearing this name, Li Sui was even more puzzled.

Zhao Yi came to Yuqing Temple?
Seeing the rare astonishment in the girl's eyes, Chen smiled and put down his hand, and gently held Li Sui's hand word by word, as if reassuring her, and looked at her seriously in his eyes and said: "Auntie can see Come out, he didn't come to visit me as a monarch and minister, but as your husband, he came to visit my mother."

"Do you know what he told me?"

Seeing Li Sui shaking his head silently, Chen's smile was full of tenderness, but his words became lower and lower little by little.

"His father died when he was three years old, and her mother, Mrs. Zhang, raised him alone. However, Mrs. Zhang died from overwork when he was only eight years old. In order to find a coffin for her mother, he sold him With all his belongings, he went to a Taoist temple to become a Taoist boy in order to survive, and he was only 12 years old under the blessing of an old fairy, but he resolutely entered the battlefield."

"Now he holds a lot of power and is in a high position. Everyone fears and envies him, but he has never been able to sit around and have a meal with his family."

"There are flowers that can be broken straight away, don't wait for no flowers to break branches. This is what he asked me, and he is also asking your father."

Hearing Chen's words, Li Sui's hands tingled slightly. She had never thought of what Chen said.

Looking at the dazed Li Sui, Chen gradually recalled that day, with the face of a charming girl in front of her, that lonely and lonely young man came to her majestically and asked her what to do again. Words that cannot be calmed——

"The princess resolutely left Chang'an for the princess of Yongning. The princess sent her to the Taiwei's mansion for several years for the princess, and she was alone. good, but never asked her what she wanted."

"No matter how dignified and calm the princess is, she is still just a 16-year-old boudoir lady. Everyone in this world thinks that she is born with a lot of honor and favor, and has everything, but a daughter in this world can act coquettishly and foolishly in front of her father. Whispering in the arms of the mother, what does the princess have? Gorgeous clothes, bright Zhu Cui, are they more important than the company of the princess and the duke—”

"Next, I saw the princess who was wronged and disdained to argue in the shooting field, and I also saw the princess walking alone in the crowd isolated from the world on the night of Qixi Festival. The princess and the Duke are the closest relatives of the princess, but I once thought that the princess's current temperament is the fruit planted in childhood. She seems to be prosperous and unrestrained in the world, but she is actually sensitive and suspicious, but she never believes everything around her. It's not because she doesn't want to, but because she dares not. Gongke once planned for her."

"Today I took the liberty to come here, but I just took it for granted that I would like to show the love of the princess, and I ask the princess to forgive me—"

"Auntie—"

Hearing Chen Shi's words and noticing the choking in her words, Li Sui couldn't restrain the fluctuation in his heart anymore, and fell into Chen Shi's warm embrace in a daze, but gradually closed his eyes and shed tears.

At this moment, Chen didn't say anything, let alone what to say, in order to face this daughter who has always loved them deeply and never complained about them.

Embracing the person in her arms tightly, all emotions rushed out like a tide, but stuck in her throat like a thorn, unable to swallow.

While lowering her head, looking at her daughter who was hiding in her arms for the first time and weeping silently, Chen choked up, but a gratified and reassuring smile appeared on her face.

And in her ears, Zhao Yi's trembling promise with her standing behind the soft curtain when he left that day still echoed.

"Yi, I am grateful to the princess and the Duke of the country, and are willing to marry the princess to me. In the past, I was alone waiting for me when I returned home, but in the future, my family will be waiting. The master is alone, Princess Yuling is only the princess, and she will only be the princess. She is my wife, and is the person I, Zhao Yi, will hold hands with for the rest of my life. Let her walk alone in this world."
