The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 264 A Restless Night (1)
During the Lantern Festival, the night was quiet, and when Chen Shuo hurried to the Yunyanghou Mansion, Chu Qing was watching the lanterns with his three children.

The 14-year-old Chu Man followed her father affectionately, with a happy smile on her face that she had rarely seen in the past two years.

After Han Zhu got married last year, both Chu Qing and A Xun were reluctant to part with him, but only Chu Man was in a good mood because of his sister's departure.She knew that her father preferred her sister-in-law, and she also knew that a concubine daughter like herself was no match for her sister-in-law, so she didn't go to her father's side when her sister-in-law was around, and she didn't serve as a foil for her sister-in-law.She is obedient, and her father still loves her as much as before.

"Daddy, this lantern riddle is so difficult, can you give me some hints?" Chu Man couldn't figure it out after contemplating the lantern under the eaves for a long time, she turned her head and said coquettishly to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing married the eldest daughter, and the younger daughter became a big girl in a blink of an eye, and she was going to marry off in two or three years, and she was very sad. In addition, after the death of Aunt Xia, although the younger daughter became a lot more introverted, she did not do anything foolish anymore. He still liked her very much, and looked at her with a smile, "That won't work, a lantern riddle is a tael of silver, if you can't guess it, let your third brother guess."

His eyes turned to the eldest son behind him.

Chu Hong is 16 years old, born like a Zhilan Yushu, and his talent is often praised by his husband. It is no problem to guess a lantern riddle, but he did not tell his sister the answer, but looked at his younger brother who was beside him, "Ah Xun wants Don't guess?" The lantern riddles were pasted on the lanterns, Ah Xun didn't know many words, but he had read them to the little guy before.

Ah Xun shook his head, looked at the fourth sister who had been by his father's side all the time, and drooped his head resentfully.

He misses his sister, and doesn't want to watch lanterns with his third brother and fourth sister.

He wanted to stand beside his father, and wanted him to hold him in his arms, but his father refused, saying that he had grown up and could no longer act like a baby with him, and he was not allowed to call him daddy anymore, but only called him father.

Ah Xun doesn't want to grow up at all.

Wanting to cry, knowing that his father didn't want to see him cry, Ah Xun lowered his head and said, "Father, I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep." At the end, his voice trembled and tears rolled down his face. Walk.Qi Zhi was standing not far away, Ah Xun couldn't help stretching out his hand towards him, raised his small arm halfway, remembering that his father said he wanted him to walk by himself, and put it down when he was about to meet Qi Zhi, his face was full of tears, covered by the top of his head The lantern was shining clearly, and she was so obedient that she didn't cry out.

Qi Zhi's eyes moved slightly, but as if he didn't see it, he turned around and followed Xiao Shizi, only when the boy couldn't hold on anymore and threw himself into his arms, Qi Zhi lifted him into his arms while walking forward, gently Pat him on the back.

He thought he was moving fast enough, but Chu Qing sensed that something was wrong with his son, so he kept staring at this side. Knowing that his son was crying, Chu Qing frowned, and continued to guess two lantern riddles with Chu Hong brothers and sisters as if nothing had happened, and then let them each Back in the room, he went to his younger son with his hands behind his back.

Not allowing people outside to make any noise, Chu Qing quietly walked to the door of the inner room.

Inside the room, Ah Xun was sitting on the bed, crying and wiping away tears, "I want Daddy to hold her hand, I don't like Fourth Sister, I don't like her..."

Qi Zhi pushed the boy's hand away expressionlessly, and wiped his face with a warm handkerchief, "Only a worthless boy will always be held by his father and call his father a spoiled child. The young master calls his father that way, let alone his elder sister. The fourth girl wears skirts, so does the eldest son also wear skirts?"

"I don't wear skirts!" Ah Xun raised his head to argue, and wanted to say something more, but the handkerchief wiped his mouth and blocked his mouth.Ah Xun quickly closed it, and when Qi Zhi removed the veil, he immediately said aggrievedly: "I'm only six years old, brother Jun was held by his father last year, last year he was eight years old!"

The boy stopped crying, Qi Zhi squatted down to help him wipe his hands, "He is worthless, the prince doesn't follow him, my cousin sleeps by himself when he is three years old, and he has already entered the palace to study at the age of six, and he can only go home twice a month. Young Master Biao didn’t cry either, does your son want to be like Brother Jun or Young Master Biao?”

Ah Xun curled his lips, of course he wants to learn from his cousin and brother-in-law, but he was not happy to say that Qi Zhi couldn't beat Qi Zhi. He touched his little face, pointed at the table and said, "I want to paint my face!" My sister said that I don't want to paint after crying in winter. The face will become wrinkled.

Qi Zhi turned to get it for him, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Ah Xun stretched out his fat fingers and dug two balls of balm on his face, just about to rub it, he saw a familiar figure walking in the door.The little guy's eyes widened, and he instinctively wanted to call Daddy, but he closed it again without making a sound, and was about to get off the ground and put on his shoes to salute his father, but Chu Qing had already arrived, and said with a smile, "Wipe your face first."

Ah Xun wiped his face with his head down.

Chu Qing signaled Qi Zhi to go out first, and saw his son's feet hanging under the edge of the bed. Although he was wearing socks, he pulled the quilt over and covered his son, stared at him for a while, and asked, "Did you cry just now? Because I You are not allowed to call Daddy and refuse to lead you away?"

Ah Xun bowed his head and did not speak, his red and tender lips were pouted, he didn't know whether he knew this trick or learned it from his sister.

Thinking of his son will bear it, dare not cry in front of him, but turned around and threw himself into the arms of the guard pitifully, and the guard had to persuade him not to blame his father, Chu Qing couldn't express his heartache, and there was something wrong with his son crying It should also be crying to him and complaining to him.

"Ah Xun is obedient, I treat you like this because I hope you will grow up to be a great general like your father..."

"I will learn kung fu hard!" As if to prove something, Ah Xun raised his head and said, his big eyes were watery after crying.

Chu Qing nodded in satisfaction, and patted his son's head. He didn't want to do such a bad thing. Tears welled up in the boy's eyes, and he threw himself into his arms, "But I also want Daddy to hug me. He will also become a great general." A child has a child's reason, Ah Xun couldn't figure it out, he studied kung fu hard, why would he be useless if his father hugged him?
Crying again, Chu Qing hugged her son and said helplessly, "People will laugh at you when they see them."
