Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 912 Performing Shadow Puppet Play

On the day of the Queen's funeral, it rained heavily in the capital.

The heavy rain brought a long-lost coolness, dispelling the summer heat in the capital.

"God, please bless the Queen and Auntie to live a free life."

Xiao Fuyuan stood at the entrance of Chonghua Palace with her hands clasped together, praying for the queen who left the palace.

After the queen's "funeral", the emperor had been immersed in sadness and often sat alone in Chonghua Palace to "remember" the queen.

He even delegated government affairs to the young prince.

After the queen left, the queen mother was in a bad mood, so Zhen took Xiao Fuyuan into the palace every day to accompany the queen mother and relieve her boredom.

One day, Xiao Fuyuan and the prince passed by Chonghua Palace and saw a swing surrounded by flowers and trees through the palace gate.

The swing was made by the queen when little Fuyuan went to Chonghua Palace for the first time.

The wind was moving that day, and she was sitting on the swing. The queen had a gentle smile on her face.

The swing swung high, and the queen followed her skirt as she looked outside the wall.

When he met the queen for the first time, Xiao Fuyuan knew that the queen was unhappy and that this high wall imprisoned her.

Now that the queen is out, Xiao Fuyuan is happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiao Yuanbao, come to me."

The emperor appeared next to the swing. Because the emperor took off his bright yellow clothes and wore ordinary household clothes, Xiao Fuyuan did not recognize him for a moment.

"Father."

"Cousin."

The prince and Xiao Fuyuan came to the emperor.

The emperor carried little Fuyuan to the swing frame and pushed her to rock slowly.

"If my little princess is still alive, she must be as cute as Little Yuanbao." The emperor murmured.

Xiao Fuyuan knew that the main reason why the emperor doted on her was because of the little princess who had left early.

"If the little princess was still alive, maybe the queen wouldn't beg..."

The emperor's voice was filled with sadness.

Xiao Fuyuan didn't know how to comfort the emperor's cousin.

"Xiao Yuanbao, do you think that if I were born into an ordinary family, would my little princess be able to grow up safely and live in harmony with the queen?" the emperor asked.

Xiao Fuyuan felt that it was a bit silly for the Nine-Five-year-old Emperor to ask the question.

"Cousin of the Emperor, you don't even know how ordinary people live? In the past, ordinary people in our village couldn't afford to eat, so they sold their daughters to rich families as slaves. Grandma said that during the famine years, local children who ate tree roots and Guanyin could not even grow up. "Xiao Fuyuan said to the emperor's cousin.

"Ordinary people's lives are not easy." Xiao Fukuoka emphasized.

The emperor's cousin only saw the helplessness of being an emperor, but he did not know that ordinary people also suffered from ordinary people's misfortune.

The emperor rubbed Xiao Fuyuan's little head and fell into deep thought.

Xiao Fuyuan and the prince stayed with the emperor in Chonghua Palace until evening. The emperor took the two children to swing, eat, and fly kites like a loving father in an ordinary family...

The next day, the emperor resumed his court service.

He is still the emperor who is ninety-five years old.

Of course, it was the Queen Mother who was pleased with this.

Capital City, Shen Mansion.

The deceased queen Meng Zhiyan and Xiao Fuyuan's mother Lin Ran played chess against each other.

"I heard that the emperor was heartbroken." Lin Ran said.

"Your Majesty has been the emperor for a long time, so naturally he has some acting skills." Meng Zhiyan said with a mocking look on her face.

Lin Ran shook his head and said, "You can't say that. You two are also childhood sweethearts, and he also has true feelings for you."

Meng Zhiyan put away the sarcasm on her face.

That's how many years ago it was.

They grew up in Ningcheng together and came to the capital together. She underestimated the last resort between the emperor and the empress, and at the same time overestimated the friendship between childhood sweethearts. Meng Zhiyan picked up a chess piece and said, "The only thing I'm grateful for is that he was finally willing to let me go free."

Lin Ran smiled: "I always miss the days when we were children in Ningcheng. It would be great if you, me, the emperor, and Shen Junshan could always stay when we were children. In this way, you don't have to be trapped in the palace wall, and I won't be disfigured. , The peaceful life we ​​talked about when we were young seems to have never happened again after leaving Ningcheng. "

Meng Zhiyan said: "I escaped from the palace, and now you are going again."

Lin Ran smiled and said: "You and I are different. You can be free only when you leave the palace, and I can only protect what I want to protect when I enter the palace."

Meng Zhiyan asked: "Where is your daughter? If you ascend to that high position, your daughter will lose a lot of freedom from now on."

Lin Ran thought for a while and said: "Xiao Yuanbao is the daughter of heaven and earth, nothing can restrain her."

Lin Ran asked again: "Where are you going next?"

Meng Zhiyan said: "Ningcheng is my final destination. But now I just want to travel around the world."

Lin Ran said: "Why don't you go to the southeast coast, where my ships are, and follow the Bai family's merchant ships to take a look. You haven't seen the sea yet, have you?"

Meng Zhiyan smiled and said, "It's just what I wanted."

"Mom, daddy."

A clear child's voice brought a smile to Lin Ran's lips.

"It's Xiao Yuan Bao who's here. Go and accompany me. My late queen is gone." Meng Zhiyan put the chess pieces into the chessboard and said.

Lin Ran stood up.

Xiao Fuyuan ran to the corridor and plunged into Lin Ran's arms.

"Slow down." Zhen, who had accompanied Xiao Fuyuan to the Shen Mansion, shouted from behind.

Lin Ran saw Mrs. Zhen coming and went to greet her.

"It's a really hot day."

Lin Ran invited Zhen to the place where he played chess under the corridor, which was surrounded by flowers and trees and faced a living spring.

It's the most refreshing thing.

Mrs. Zhen was sitting where Meng Zhiyan had been sitting just now.

Lin Ran carefully wiped the sweat off Xiao Fuyuan's forehead with a handkerchief, and ordered someone to get an ice bowl of iced mung bean soup for Xiao Fuyuan.

Xiao Fuyuan drank a bowl of mung bean soup with Lin Ran's hand, wiped his mouth, and saw a familiar figure flashing across the corridor.

She tilted her head and looked quietly, then raised her head and smiled at Lin Ran.

"Mother, my mother said that you will be leaving the capital in a few days. Please let me stay with you these days."

Xiaofu's big round eyes showed reluctance.

Lin Ran looked at Zhen with a grateful face, but at the same time he felt guilty.

As Xiao Fuyuan's biological mother, she felt that she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a biological mother, and now she was putting herself in danger.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Who told her to be the princess of Xiyue Kingdom?

"Where's daddy?" Xiao Fuyuan asked Lin Ran.

"Your dad is in the backyard. He has arranged a new shadow puppet show and is waiting to show you."

Lin Ran stood up as he spoke, and together with Zhen, he held Xiao Fuyuan's hand and walked through the long flower corridor towards the backyard.

Arriving in the backyard, Shen Junshan was playing with the props of the shadow puppet show.

"Sister-in-law and daughter are here."

When Shen Junshan saw little Fuyuan, he stretched out his hands and picked her up.

"Dad, I want to do a shadow puppet show." Xiao Fu was in Shen Junshan's arms. She couldn't wait to rehearse a new shadow puppet show with Shen Junshan.

Shen Junshan put down Xiao Fuyuan, raised the curtain, and performed shadow play with Xiao Fuyuan.

This shadow play is the story of an exiled princess who decided to return to her mother country to save the common people after seeing the cruel and incompetent new monarch in her mother country and the people's lives in ruins.

Xiao Fuyuan plays the princess, and Shen Junshan plays the courtier who persuades the princess to return to the country.

Zhen and Lin Ran sat aside and watched with immersion. Xiao Fuyuan and Shen Junshan acted to the emotional point, making Zhen shed tears.
