Doting the evil king and foolish concubine

Chapter 281: Children’s Love (2)
Meng Jueran remained silent in the carriage, Xueshu left, but he did not lift the curtain of the carriage to look at her.But the carriage stopped in place for a long time before he said solemnly, "Let's go!"

At night, Xueshu patrolled the city wall.Outside the city gate, to the west, in the open field, there are dots of lights.Xueshu knew that it was a temporary tent set up for refugees in the capital of the Principality of Meng, and the imperial court gave them porridge and food every day to make ends meet.The past few days have been considered peaceful, and the refugees have no dissatisfaction or disturbance.But Xueshu's heart is always uneasy, maybe it's a woman's perception, she always feels that it is still difficult to hide the danger under the calm.

Now that the capital is under martial law, Xueshu dare not slack off at all. During the day, she and her father stepped up to train soldiers and strengthen the city walls.In the evening, Xueshu will make another inspection on the city wall before returning to the palace.Now the defense of the palace is handed over to Cheng Yanyan.She has the talent of a general, not only has a meticulous mind, but also has a very unique vision, and her military strategy is no less than that of Xueshu.

Xue Shu went down the city wall and walked to a room near the city gate. Under the light, her father was still reading.Ever since she took over the important task of defending the capital, Yan Shouju moved from the palace to live with the soldiers in the city guard army, watching their training during the day and explaining the art of war to them at night. Everyone has a lot of respect for him.Seeing the bright eyes of her father Wang, who seemed to have returned to her former pride, Xueshu was quite relieved.

"Father, why are you still up? Didn't I tell you earlier that you are not allowed to stay up late?" Xue Shu pushed open the door and said angrily.

Yan Shouzhen put down his book and smiled, "Girl, haven't you slept yet? Go back, my father is here, and everyone in the capital will surely get a good night's sleep."

Xue Shu nodded heavily, "Father, have you taken your medicine on time? Tomorrow I will ask Cheng Feng to do acupuncture on your legs again."

His father was in the palace, and Cheng Feng had always helped him with acupuncture. Now that he moved here, he was busy directing soldiers to drill all day long, and he never had a moment of leisure. Cheng Feng was very helpless.At that time, Xueshu only thought that the imperial doctor Cheng Feng was extraordinary, but she didn't expect that his family background was also quite remarkable. He was the only younger brother of the Prime Minister Cheng Yuanshan, with amazing talent and superb medical skills.It is said that he admired the princess Meng Wanhua very much back then, but unfortunately, the beautiful woman left her hometown, and her soul was hurt for thousands of miles, so he became disheartened and entered the palace as an imperial doctor, never marrying for life.Now, he and his father have become close friends, and both of them have the intention of seeing each other later.

Xueshu returned to the palace in the middle of the night, the palace had already given the key, she was hesitating whether to go back, the palace door suddenly opened slowly, "Princess Ming, come in quickly!" It was Cheng Yanyan's voice, at this moment she unexpectedly Also did not sleep.

Xueshu stepped in and saw that it was her, "The time has passed, how can you violate the rules and not take the spoon?"

"Do I dare to give you a spoon? If you haven't come back, will the empress be safe? Now the emperor and empress have a harem waiting for you! They love you too much, they won't even look at you, and they will never fall asleep. You go back and report that you are safe. "Cheng Yanyan said solemnly.

It turned out that she was guarding the palace gate just to wait for her. Xueshu was moved, "Yanyan, I won't come back so late in the future. Today I went to the father's place for a visit."

"I don't mean to blame you. You don't care about yourself, don't you care about the elderly and children. Cheng Yi and Cheng Yao didn't see you today, and they didn't sleep until late at night. They went to sleep when they were tired from crying."

When Xueshu heard this, her eyes flooded immediately, "Yanyan, you should also go to rest quickly, I'll go and see the child."

As soon as she arrived at Ziyun Palace, Mei Xiang came up to her in a hurry, "I don't know what's going on today, the two children are arguing endlessly, sleeping for a while and waking up for a while, and I can't see you when I open my eyes, so I will cry for a while."

Xueshu was even more worried when she heard this, "Is the child sick?"

"Doctor Cheng has seen it, the child is very healthy, presumably the older he is, the more careful he is, and he knows about Lian Niang." Mei Xiang said with a smile.

Xue Shu also smiled.

When Xueshu walked into the inner palace wearing the silver soft armor of Princess Wanhua back then, the grandparents were stunned for a moment when they saw her, their eyes were misty, as if they were looking at the heroic Meng Wanhua back then.It was the grandfather who came back to his senses first, "Shu'er, no matter how busy the city is, you must come back in time. The child will not see you for a day, and he will make a fuss when he misses you."

"Grandpa, I made you and grandma worry." Xue Shu glanced at grandma, seeing her turning around and quietly wiping her tears, she must have touched the scene, thinking of her daughter, she felt uncomfortable.

"Silly girl, what are you talking about! Who are you for? A family doesn't talk about two things, hurry up and see the child." Grandpa said anxiously.

Xueshu hurriedly stood beside the dragon couch, and saw that the two children were really still awake, kicking their calves, with tears still hanging from the corners of their eyes.Now that they are four months old, their faces are really getting more and more beautiful and more and more lovable.Before Xue Shu could make a sound, the four little spirit foxes stood up first and squeaked. The two children turned their faces, and when they saw Xue Shu, they suddenly burst into tears with a "wow", as if they were acting like a spoiled child.

Xue Shu was sad and uncomfortable, and now she could no longer hold two of them in her arms at the same time, so she had to hold the good girl Meng Yao first, looking at her delicate and pink face, she looked very much like her father , Xueshu smiled happily.Seeing that Meng Yi was crying so much in the cold, grandma hurriedly picked up Meng Yi and stuffed her into her arms, and the two children stopped crying immediately.Xueshu smiled and hugged the two children, turned around the screen, walked outside and sat down on the soft couch.

She didn't dare to approach the dragon bed. Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the earth dragon is still burning in the palace, just because she is afraid that the child will be cold.As soon as Xueshu sat down, the four little spirit foxes jumped over and surrounded Xueshu, squeaking and being affectionate, as if they were acting like a baby, Xueshu really couldn't do anything with them.The grandpa and grandma let out a long sigh of relief, and the two sat together looking at Xue Shu, the two children, and the four spirit foxes, their eyes were indescribably soft, as if the scene was both weird and peaceful.

Meng Yi and Meng Yao looked at Xueshu, with bubbles in her mouth, with a happy expression, and stretched out her small hands to grab Xueshu's hair scattered on her forehead, looking very attached.But Xueshu knows that in the middle of the night, the child can no longer toss about like this, otherwise, grandpa and grandma won't be able to rest and suffer even more.

"Grandpa, grandma, if I take the child back to Lanyue Hall, you can rest? I think these two little guys are very energetic, and they won't be able to sleep in a while." Xueshu asked tentatively.

"That can't be done, the child must never leave my eyes, then I will feel more restless and unable to sleep." As soon as Xueshu opened her mouth, grandma strongly objected.

"Mei Xiang, go and get two thin quilts, Shu'er, you can sleep in this Purple Cloud Palace today!"

When Xueshu heard this, she became anxious, "Grandma, this is absolutely impossible. After the child is asleep, I still want to return to the Moon Hall."

"If you dawdle for a while, it will be dawn. Child, you are too tired and can't stand the toss, so why not sleep here? This is grandma's bedroom, who can say anything?"

"Well, there are important things to do tomorrow morning. I will go to the side hall to rest in the future. Shu'er, your grandma and children will be handed over to you in the evening." Grandpa said, and went straight outside the palace without waiting for Xueshu to respond. .
