After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 479 The Adopted Daughter's Anxiety

The Queen Mother looked at her son, of whom she had always been proud, with some heartache. All her glory came from the son in front of her. If it was not absolutely necessary, she really did not want to make her son sad.

"They are a match made in heaven, destined to be husband and wife. Even the master of horoscopes said that there is no horoscope more compatible than this. Why do you have to stop them?" The Queen Mother took the initiative to say.

The emperor still looked very upset: "I don't know either. I always feel like I've lost something very important."

The Queen Mother's heart tightened, but she still said cruelly: "How could I lose her? Niuniu married into the royal family. Isn't this getting a good daughter-in-law?"

The emperor shook his head. Although he couldn't figure it out clearly now, he could still sense that something was wrong.

"Mother, let me think about it again, let me think about it again..."

The emperor left Shoukang Palace in a daze.

The Empress Dowager could do nothing, even though Concubine Shun's child was born safely recently and was given a noble title at birth. The Emperor also gave her a nickname, Baoer.

Even the emperor liked the various beauties sent to him by the eldest princess, but it still couldn't completely divert his attention.

"What a sin! If it weren't for the Li family, things would be so much better now..." The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.

The emperor did not sleep well for several nights in a row, and he could not get rid of the feeling of losing an important treasure in his heart.

That night, he lay in bed for a rare while and then fell into a deep sleep.

He felt that this dream was too familiar.

He had this dream many years ago. In the dream, he had a wife, sons and daughters, and his life was smooth sailing. He was simply the happiest person in the world.

This time the dream seemed to have more details. He saw his wife's face, which was so familiar.

But the clearer you see, the more you know.

He was very happy, but his wife in the dream did not seem to be always happy, and she sometimes showed a sad expression.

He saw more and more clearly that his wife's sadness did not come from anything else, but from him.

He didn't seem to respect her that much, and he often upset her.

The emperor in the dream was at a loss. He wanted to do something to make amends, but until the end of the dream, the only thing in his mind was his wife's sad eyes.

The emperor had not come to Shoukang Palace for several days in a row, and the empress dowager was very relieved. She finally dared to keep Niu Niu in her palace to eat and play with the little girl. It seemed as if the days had returned to last year.

Concubine Shun often brought Princess Baoer to play with Niu Niu.

Niu Niu seems to have an inexplicable attraction to children. Like Changshou, Baoer also likes Niu Niu very much. When accompanying Niu Niu, Baoer never cries or makes a fuss, but looks at sister Niu Niu with her beautiful eyes like obsidian.

Niu Niu and Li Xuan spent more time playing together and inevitably neglected their other friends. It was during these two days in class that the little girl suddenly discovered that Qin Jingshu seemed unhappy.

"Did you encounter any unpleasant things?"

After class, Niu Niu did not leave immediately. Instead, she grabbed her good friend's sleeve and asked.

Qin Jingshu forced a smile on her face and said, "It's a family matter."

Niu Niu looked a little helpless, and she quickly comforted him, "Although I can't help you much, maybe if you talk to me, you will feel less sad." Qin Jingshu took Niu Niu to the rockery in the Imperial Garden. There were few people coming and going in this place, so it was also their secret base.

It seemed that because the first long-term contact between the two was in the rockery, Qin Jingshu felt an inexplicable sense of security as soon as she entered the rockery.

"It's my aunt. My family sent me a message saying that she is seriously ill and I don't know if she can survive this spring...." Qin Jingshu looked depressed.

Niu Niu also heard from Qin Jingshu that she had a very good relationship with her aunt. Lady Xian Guogong did not give her much love and care, but she could always find the feeling of a mother in her aunt.

"Then you should not stay in the palace. Go out and spend more time with her. Family is the most important." Niu Niu said.

Qin Jingshu shook her head: "Mother wants me to stay in the palace, she doesn't want me to go home..."

Lady Xian Guogong's plan was naturally not to give up on her daughter becoming the queen. She hoped that her daughter could catch the future crown prince from among the royal family members who came to the palace to study.

"If she doesn't let you go back, why don't you go back? We don't have to listen to our parents all the time." Niu Niu said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Qin Jingshu looked at her in surprise: "You have always been the best kid, how can you say such a thing..."

Niuniu raised her chin slightly and said, "If I encounter such a thing, I will definitely leave the palace. Even if my parents don't allow me, I will run away by myself."

Qin Jingshu stared at Niu Niu with sparkling eyes. She could always feel extraordinary courage from her good friend.

"Family is more important than anything else!" Niu Niu said with clenched fists.

Qin Jingshu also made up her mind: "Okay, I'll go tell my mother that I want to leave the palace."

Niu Niu stretched out her little hand and patted her good friend's little head. Her family always patted her like this. It was a rare opportunity for her to pat others. She couldn't help but think that this feeling was really good.

After Qin Jingshu and Niu Niu separated, she followed Concubine Xian into the main hall. Even though she had made up her mind, she still had to muster up the courage before speaking.

Although Concubine Li was old-fashioned and conservative, she was very attentive to her adopted daughter and naturally noticed something was wrong with her at the first time.

"Is there anything you want? Tell mother and I will prepare it for you in two days." Concubine Li Xian tried hard to force a gentle smile.

Qin Jingshu shook her head: "I want to leave the palace... My aunt is seriously ill, she has always loved me very much... I'm sorry..."

When Qin Jingshu said this, she didn't dare to look at Concubine Li's expression at all. She couldn't help but wonder if her mother would be angry, and whether she would think that she was an ungrateful little girl who only cared about her family.

But she didn't expect that the next second, she was embraced in a warm embrace.

Li Xianfei hugged her and said softly, "Good child, it's normal for you to miss your family. There's no need to apologize to me."

Qin Jingshu felt a lump in her throat when she heard that, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

Concubine Li gently wiped the tears from her adopted daughter's face with a handkerchief.

"After I report to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, I think you will be able to leave the palace." Concubine Li Xian comforted.

"Mother, don't you blame me? Don't you think I'm ungrateful? After all, entering the palace to accompany the ladies is an honor that an ordinary girl would never beg for..." Qin Jingshu said in a low voice.

Concubine Li Xian looked at her adopted daughter with strange eyes: "Isn't it normal for a child to miss his family? Who told you these words?"
