Childhood Sweethearts of a Family: The Delicate Girl

Chapter 15

Emperor Jiaqing Li Han didn't seem to care much about Zhu Bicong's indifferent attitude. He naturally withdrew the hand he handed out, and turned his back behind him, with no embarrassment on his face.

At the age of 42, he is no longer young. Li Han, who needs to worry about state affairs every day, can already see frowns on his face.His temples also had white hair, which was caught in the middle of the black hair, which was somewhat conspicuous.

His figure was a little fatter, and even though his dignity remained unchanged in every move, he was no longer handsome and handsome as he was when he was young.Standing in front of him is Zhu Bicong who is in his thirties, but due to proper maintenance, apart from his mature charm, he looks only 26 or [-] years old.

Li Han greedily looked at Zhu Bicong, who was still as pretty as he remembered, as if he couldn't get enough of it.But Zhu Bicong's eyes only fell on his daughter Qi Yingyu, turning a blind eye to Li Han and his overly hot eyes.

There were only the three of them in the hall, and no one spoke or made a sound, so it was very quiet.

Although Qi Yingyu is only seven years old, she is already old enough to understand some things.She knew that the person in bright yellow clothes standing in front of her was very distinguished, and she could also feel that her mother was not in a good mood.

A child's mind is always very simple, because Qi Yingyu sensed that her mother was in a bad mood, so Qi Yingyu naturally attributed the reason to Li Han in front of her.In addition, Qi Yingyu herself had a feeling of resistance to Li Han, not to mention the majesty of Li Han, which made it hard not to feel pressure.

The queen was also in the hall before, but when Li Han appeared later, she retreated outside the hall after saluting, and signaled all the maids to leave.

The emperor is already 42 years old, and the empress is three years older than the emperor, and she is not young anymore.She is at this age, but she still has to arrange for him to meet with Zhu Bicong in order to please the emperor, without showing any complaints or dislike.

Although she not only doesn't like it at all, but also hates Zhu Bicong.Who would like such a woman who, even after being married, has been missed by her husband for more than ten years?
The maid beside the empress knew that the empress must be in a bad mood at the moment, and nothing could comfort her, so she kept her mouth shut very wisely.

Staying here feels stuffy, but not staying here has nowhere to go.If she walks around at will at this time, if something goes wrong and someone finds out that the emperor and Zhu Bicong met, the emperor can't figure out how to get bored with her.

Thinking of these things, the empress was so upset that the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled into a ball.Turning her face to the side and looking at the courteous lady, the empress slightly pursed her lips, and asked her, "How old is the young lady of Fenyonghou's mansion this year?"

The palace maid bowed down and blessed the queen, and then said, "If you go back to your highness, the eldest lady of the Qi family will be seven years old after the new year."

seven years old?The queen's heart moved, and she suddenly smiled.

In the hall, Li Han, who was not annoyed by Zhu Bicong's ignorance, turned his attention to Qi Yingyu.The little girl Yuxue is cute, with big and bright almond eyes, looking at him timidly, she looks completely pitiful.

Noticing that Li Han was looking at her, Qi Yingyu unconsciously dodged slightly behind Zhu Bicong, holding Zhu Bicong tighter with one hand, while holding her own skirt tightly with the other hand.

After watching Qi Yingyu for a while, Li Han first broke the silence in the hall. "You look pretty, but it's a pity that you don't look like you..." Li Han looked at Qi Yingyu, but said to Zhu Bicong.

Impatient with dealing with him, Zhu Bicong protected Qi Yingyu, but only said to Li Han, "Is there anything you want? If Your Majesty has nothing to do..."

Before Zhu Bicong finished speaking, Li Han interrupted her, "It's only once a year, so why don't you want to see me?"

"Yes, I don't want to see you." Zhu Bicong raised his eyes, looked straight at Li Han without fear, and answered him clearly, without showing any affection.She had always wanted to avoid it, but Li Han's only words made her feel unbearable.

Seeing that Zhu Bicong was no longer the same as before, Li Han laughed instead.He just twitched the corners of his mouth, but the frown on his face became more obvious.

"Are you annoyed?" Li Han's voice seemed to reveal a little bit of joy, "Why are you annoyed? Did I say something wrong? All year round, it's just this day that I still have the chance to see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly put on a straight face, "You are less and less afraid of me, who gave you the confidence?" Li Han glanced at Qi Yingyu and said again, "You have sons and daughters now, don't you Do you know that it is easier for me to handle you now than in the past?"

"In the past, you were alone and I didn't move you because I was afraid of hurting you. Later, you relied on your mother and married Fen Yonghou. Now that your mother is gone, you have no more to rely on, and you have so many more concerns...how do you Never learn to be meek, never learn to bow your head?"

Zhu Bicong was indifferent to Li Han's uncertain appearance, and he had the posture of "the mountain collapsed before me, and I will stand still".

She still didn't avoid Li Han's eyes, but just looked at him, and said unhurriedly, "In the past, court ladies were not afraid of His Majesty, and now they are even more so."

"You will, you don't want to." Li Han was very sure.

Zhu Bicong finally looked away and looked at Qi Yingyu, "I don't want to. Since your Majesty has nothing to do, the minister's wife will leave first."

Li Han watched the retreating figures of Zhu Bicong and Qi Yingyu, and did not make a sound to stop him, but his palms hanging by his side and hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.

Xiao Linyuan was led by her mother and followed the maid to a magnificent palace. She looked up at the words on the plaque at the entrance of the palace.She just happened to recognize these words, so she knew that this place was "Jade Spring Palace".

There is a garden in Yuquan Palace. In the garden, there are many rockeries, jagged rocks, and a small stream dug by hand, but there is no gurgling water winding through it because it is winter.

Most of the flowers and plants have withered in winter, and there are only two red plums in full bloom in the garden. The plum blossoms are delicate and pretty, and the plum fragrance is overflowing and refreshing.

Mrs. Lin led Lin Yuan and followed the maid through the garden and along the corridor for a long time, only the raised eaves at one corner of the palace could be seen.After leaving the corridor, a gorgeous palace with glazed tiles was displayed in front of them.

When the palace guards at the entrance of the hall saw the maid bringing Mrs. Lin and Lin Yuan over, they immediately went into the hall to report to Concubine Hui.When Mrs. Lin and Lin Yuan walked outside the gate of the palace, the palace servant had already returned, and Dao Huifei empress invited them in.

Lin Yuan stepped into the palace and felt a benevolent gaze, so she raised her head to look.She looked up and saw a gorgeously dressed woman sitting at the top of the hall.

The man had a kind face and a sincere smile.Even though she was wearing golden jewelry, she felt very heavy, Lin Yuan thought silently.

Seeing her eldest sister, Mrs. Lin was very happy, but there were still many palace people around at the moment, so she didn't express this emotion much.

She first brought Lin Yuan forward and saluted Concubine Hui solemnly, and after being dismissed, she stood respectfully.After Concubine Hui ordered someone to give her a seat, and sent all the palace people away, leaving only two personal maids brought into the palace from Yingwuhou's Mansion, Mrs. Lin showed a smile on her face.

Concubine Hui is also like Mrs. Lin.She was just a dignified and honorable concubine Hui, and when she pushed the maids away, she only faced her sister and niece, so she was just her sister and great aunt.

"Sister Yuan, come quickly to my aunt." Concubine Hui looked at the cute little niece, and couldn't help calling her to come closer.It was hard for her younger sister to have such a daughter, and she loved her so much, she deserved more love as a great aunt.

Although Lin Yuan felt that her aunt was amiable and respectable, after hearing Concubine Hui's words, she still took a peek at her mother.After the mother nodded, she walked over.

After all, she was still in the palace, even if she was with her aunt now, Lin Yuan was still a little cautious.She walked up to Concubine Hui and looked at the person in front of her with wide eyes.

Concubine Hui was slightly older than Lin Yuan's mother by two years, and she was no longer young like the queen.Lin Yuan looked at the person in front of her for a while, then smiled sweetly, and said, "Hello, Auntie!"

Concubine Hui, who has two daughters, doesn't care much about little girls, and she doesn't personally deliver Lin Yuan like the third sister Xiao Wang. She has different emotions, but she understands the cuteness of little girls. Tian Nunuo shouted, and felt extra happy.

Concubine Hui smiled and took off an emerald bracelet from her hand to put it on for Lin Yuan, and then pulled her to ask questions carefully.

After Lin Yuan said a few words to her aunt, she was probably sure that her aunt was fine, so she seemed to let go a little bit, she was not so restrained, and became lively and playful again.

Concubine Hui laughed out loud at being teased by her, and the more she liked this little niece.After she and Lin Yuan talked about something unnutritious in the first novel, she turned to her sister and asked about the daily routine.

I don't know how long it took to chat like this, and the palace servants came into the palace again and reported that Mrs. Hou Hou had arrived.When Lin Yuan heard the words "Fen Yong Hou Madam" and understood what it meant, she couldn't help blinking her eyes lightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

Concubine Hui ordered the maids to invite people in, and smiled and said to her younger sister, Mrs. Lin, "Third sister may not know about my friendship with Mrs. Qi. Mrs. Qi was still in the palace and Empress Dowager Duanyizhao. He helped me a lot when I served by my side, and our family happened to have some friendship with the Fenyonghou Mansion..."

When Concubine Hui said this, Zhu Bicong had already led Qi Yingyu into the hall, and Xiao Linyuan, who saw Qi Yingyu, couldn't sit still for a while.Nanxi Academy was on holiday during the New Year's Eve, so she hadn't seen Qi Yingyu for a while, and she was not unhappy to see her in the palace.

It happened that Concubine Hui had something to say to the other two adults, so she ordered the palace servants to lead Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu to play with her two daughters.She had already greeted her two daughters earlier, so it didn't matter if she passed by suddenly.

Lin Yuan and Qi Yingyu understood that it was adults' business, and they were a little excited and happy to see each other, so they didn't have any reluctance.After they bid farewell to their mother and concubine Hui, they held hands and followed the maid.
