Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1208 Grievance
She had pretended to be exhausted in front of everyone, but after entering the inner palace, Shang Ruyi's steps became increasingly hurried, especially after she passed the Baifu Gate and looked up to see the tall Qianqiu Palace not far away. Her breathing became disordered and she staggered for several steps and was about to fall.

Yuwen Ye was quick to act and held her in his arms.

"Slower."

Shang Ruyi stood up straight and took a deep breath, but her heart was still beating loudly, as if there was a little person beating a drum in her chest. She tried her best to control her breathing. As she walked forward, she remembered something and murmured in a low voice: "I was locked up in Chengqian Palace for a long time. When I went back, Yuanqian was so aggrieved because he hadn't seen me for so long. He cried as soon as he saw me and wouldn't let me hug him..."

As she spoke, her voice became hoarse and difficult, and her eyes were red when she turned to look at Yu Wenye: "I have been away for such a long time this time, he must have missed me... He must be even angrier."

"..."

Yuwen Ye wanted to say something to her, after all, it was she who refused to listen to him and ran away, who could she complain to at this time? But when he saw Shang Ruyi's red eyes, and she looked aggrieved first, he softened his heart and put his arm around her shoulders and said softly: "The child has not seen me for a long time, so he must be even more angry with me; when the time comes, you can say that I am wrong, and he will not be angry with you."

Shang Ruyi was originally feeling sad, but after hearing this she started to laugh: "Is this okay?"

Yuwen Ye said: "I can't be estranged from both my father and mother."

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble you."

After such a joke, she felt a little better. She walked forward with an anxious pace, but her heartbeat and breathing were not so chaotic. As she walked, she whispered, "Father, he——"

Speaking of this, Yuwen Ye's face turned slightly cold.

He looked ahead and said calmly in an unquestionable tone: "In family matters, there is always someone who is wronged. I can't bear to see Yuan Qian wronged, nor can I bear to see you wronged. That means I am wronged."

"..."

"It's okay for someone to suffer in the court's affairs, but that person cannot be me."

"..."

This statement is already somewhat overbearing.

Shang Ruyi did not doubt that he could do it, and he also knew that he deserved it, but things had already come to light. As a son and a minister, wasn't he afraid to compete with Yuwen Yuan, his father and king?

Shang Ruyi said: "Feng Chen..."

Yuwen Ye turned to look at her: "Yeah."

"..."

Because she hadn't sorted out her thoughts and hesitated for a long time, Shang Ruyi couldn't really say anything. At this moment, they had arrived at Qianqiu Palace. Shang Ruyi had just stepped one leg into the gate when she was caught off guard by a short black shadow that suddenly bumped into her leg.

"Hey……"

Shang Ruyi gasped and took a step back, but Yuwen Ye beside her was quick to support her again. At the same time, the black shadow that bumped into her also took two steps back and sat down on the ground, staggering.

They even heard a bang.

"Oh, my little prince!"

Nanny Feng, who was following closely behind, rushed over and picked up the meat dumpling from the ground. When she looked up again and saw the two of them, as well as Wo Xue who was following behind, she was immediately surprised and delighted, and hurried forward to pay her respects: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and greetings to the Princess!"

Tushe'er, Changwan and others in the hall had already received the news that they would be back today, and had been looking forward to it under the eaves. When they heard Nanny Feng's voice, they immediately ran out. When they saw Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi, they all hurriedly came forward to kowtow and pay their respects.

Especially Tusheer, her eyes were red and she almost cried: "King, Princess..."

Shang Ruyi agreed to this and that and also had to comfort Tushe'er. She didn't feel so constrained even on the battlefield, but what concerned her was Yuan Qian, who was always protected in Nanny Feng's arms and stood in a daze in front of her. He was wearing a brand new red jacket, which seemed to be a new piece of clothing bought for the New Year. He also had a tiger-head hat on his head, which protected his ears and cheeks tightly. Only his nose was slightly red from the cold, which reflected his dark eyes, making him look particularly pitiful and cute.

Yuwen Ye had already leaned down and looked at him: "Yuanzi, Yuanqian, do you still remember daddy?"

"..."

Roudunzi didn't say anything, but just looked at him with eyes wide open, as if he was getting to know him all over again. Shang Ruyi also half-knelt down in front of him, reaching out to touch his chubby face while softly saying, "Yuanzi, mother is back..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yuanzi turned her head and avoided her hand.

At this moment, the originally lively crowd around them suddenly quieted down. Nanny Feng was a little embarrassed and smiled cautiously: "Hey, what's wrong with your Highness? How could you not recognize them? Your Highness and the Princess are your father and mother, don't you recognize them? Take another look."

As she spoke, she tried to coax and pull the child to turn around for them to see, but Yuan Qian seemed to be stubborn and turned away desperately.

Being manipulated, he shouted crisply, "No!"

"...!"

Upon hearing the word "no", Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi were both shocked. When they left, Yuan Qian was still a baby who could only babble and could not speak coherent sentences, but now, he can walk by himself without the help of an adult, and he can even talk!
Surprised, guilt surged like a tide. Shang Ruyi felt sour and painful in her heart. Her eyes were reddened by the hot tears. She leaned down to Yuan Qian and whispered, "Is Yuan Qian angry with me? Is he angry? I'm back. I will never again--"

"Well!"

Without waiting for her to finish her words, Yuan Qian turned around and hugged Nanny Feng tightly without even looking at her.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi was so sad that she almost cried.

When Yuwen Ye saw this scene, he felt guilty and distressed, but when he saw Shang Ruyi being tortured by guilt, he thought for a moment and reached out to pull Yuan Qian out of Nanny Feng's arms.

"well--!"

Nanny Feng and everyone around were startled. Shang Ruyi was also startled and asked hurriedly, "What are you doing?"

Yuwen Ye ignored everyone and walked towards Qianqiu Palace carrying Yuan Qian.

Yuan Qian was still making a fuss, but was suddenly picked up and held like this. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't react at all - after all, no one in the Qianqiu Palace or even in the entire palace dared to treat him like this. He was stunned for a long time, until Yuwen Ye held him and walked into the hall. When the familiar feeling came to his heart, he immediately burst into tears: "Wuwaa, wuwaaa, wow——"

Hearing the child crying like this, Shang Ruyi was heartbroken. Nanny Feng was also panicked and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, please let this servant come."

Yuwen Ye, however, had a sullen face. He waved his hand to ask everyone to leave, sat down and put the child on his knees. He watched little Yuan Qian struggling and crying, and then he clenched his two small fists and hit him randomly, two of which even hit him on the body. He looked like he would never give up unless others did what he wanted.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boy, you're quite energetic."

Although he was smiling, Shang Ruyi couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried forward and said, "Forget it, he's angry, let the nurse hold him."

Nanny Feng didn't dare to say a word at this time, she just stood by carefully, fearing that this arrogant and willful little prince, who had been abandoned by his parents for several months and had nowhere to complain, would burst into tears. However, Yuwen Ye had a "heart of stone". Even though the child was crying breathlessly and his face turned red, he still didn't let go.

Seeing that his usual crying was of no use, Yuan Qian cried a little softer, but kicked his legs hard and hit Yuwen Ye's chest with his little fists.

Of course, this amount of strength was not enough to tickle Yuwen Ye. The more he hit him, the deeper the smile on his face became: "Oh, you are angry. You know how to beat people to vent your anger at such a young age?"

As he said this, he glanced at Shang Ruyi out of the corner of his eye.

Shang Ruyi immediately understood what he meant, so he sat down next to him and gently patted his arm: "Yes, Daddy is not good, let's beat him!"

When Yuan Qian saw Shang Ruyi beating Yuwen Ye, he stopped crying and looked at him with blinked eyes.

Shang Ruyi also watched his reaction quietly, but after a while there was no movement from either side. Yuan Qian pursed his lips, then opened his mouth wide and prepared to cry.

Yuwen Ye whispered, "Come again."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly patted him twice: "Hit him, he's not good!"

Yuan Qian immediately shut up, tears still on his face, his eyes watery, but he just stared at the two of them motionless. Shang Ruyi understood now, and punched Yuwen Ye's arm with her fists, saying, "It's all Daddy's fault. Daddy left and took Mom away with him, which is why Yuan Qian feels so wronged."

Yuan Qian blinked, and the tear that was about to fall shrank back.

Shang Ruyi continued to beat him: "Beat Daddy, and he won't leave from now on."

Yuan Qian's black bean-like eyes suddenly lit up, but then he didn't react. He just looked at Shang Ruyi. But Nanny Feng next to him reacted quickly and whispered, "The princess is also saying she won't leave."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Mother won't leave either!"

"laugh!"

At this moment, it was as if some mechanism in the child's body was opened, and he grinned and laughed. Shang Ruyi's originally knotted heart suddenly relaxed, and the whole person seemed to be fished out from hell. At the same time, he also saw that a small row of white and clean millet teeth had grown in the child's mouth.

When he left, he had just a few small white teeth in his mouth, and now he has several small teeth.

I have been absent too much and for too long.

Seeing that the child was originally so aggrieved, but he actually laughed happily after being coaxed by them, she became more and more sad. With red eyes, she moved closer to her son, smelled the familiar, warm milk fragrance on him, and hugged him tightly into her arms: "Mom, from now on, I will never leave you again."

"..."

Yuan Qian was suddenly embraced by his mother's gentle arms. He had already started smiling, but at this moment he seemed to feel something, and the grievance that was buried deeper in his heart suddenly surged up.

"Wow——"

Inside Qianqiu Palace, the sound of a child crying in grievance could be heard again.
