Chapter 238 Family Happiness
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. That night, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace. Coincidentally, when he arrived, Hongyao had also finished school and had dinner with Huimin.
The emperor looked at the three children sitting around a table, and Concubine Xian was waiting for him tenderly. It was quite heartwarming.
The emperor's originally irritable mood suddenly dissipated a little.
The emperor personally stepped forward to help Huimin up, and took Huimin's hand and walked to the table.
"Today's dishes are quite rich."
Huimin smiled and said, "The three children are all growing up, so they need something more abundant. Besides, the emperor is coming, so I have to behave well."
Looking at Huimin's smile, the emperor also smiled.
"sit down."
Huimin had a faint smile on her face and sat down next to the emperor as she walked around the table.
In winter, the weather is cold and more pots are used.
Today we use mutton pot.
Hongxi ate happily. The emperor was very happy to see his son who could eat so much. He said to Huimin:
"Hongxi always has a good appetite."
The emperor also expressed his concern for Wen Yi. When he mentioned that Wen Yi had personally made a silk ribbon for Hongxi today, the emperor also said with emotion:
"I remember your mother was the best at making silk laces," the emperor then looked at Hongxi and said with satisfaction, "You two siblings have a good relationship."
The emperor was furious after this incident of fratricide.
It just so happened that Wen Yi and Hong Xi had such a good relationship at this time, and the emperor felt comforted.
The emperor was very happy as his beloved sons and daughters were around him and they were all having a great time.
"Hongyao has grown a lot taller recently," the emperor observed carefully, "and he has lost weight too."
"It's a period of growth, so you can't be careless about your diet."
Hongyao also laughed, "My son has been eating a lot more recently. Although I have lost weight, I am still doing well."
"If we talk about the thinnest person, it has to be my eighth brother. His body is so thin that it looks like bones. I often advise him to eat more, but it's better for my eighth brother to have someone watching him. When he eats by himself, he always..."
"Father, please help me persuade my eighth brother."
Seeing Hongyao sincerely caring about his younger brother, the brotherly love and respect between them formed a sharp contrast with the Fourth Prince.
The emperor now thinks of the unfilial Fourth Prince no matter what he sees.
The emperor nodded and said, "Hongjun is indeed weaker than ordinary children. Concubine Hui needs to pay more attention to him."
As the emperor said this, he looked at Hongyao and then at Hongxi, and felt more and more satisfied.
The boy grew taller and his body became thinner, and he became a teenager.
He is still young, chubby and plump, and looks blessed.
It’s still Concubine Xian who knows how to raise a child.
The emperor saw Hongxi eating hard and said jokingly:
"Hongyao has lost weight, but our Hongxi is still a little fat boy."
As he spoke, the emperor patted Hongxi's round belly.
"This is really real and solid."
When Hongxi saw the emperor acting like this, his eyes widened.
Hongxi quickly swallowed the meatball in his mouth, "Father, Hongxi is not fat."
As he spoke, Hongxi looked at Huimin and complained to his mother.
"Mother, look, Father is laughing at Hongxi."
Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Huimin also smiled and defended her son.
"Yes, our Hongxi is not fat. He is a blessed baby."
As she spoke, Huimin glared at the emperor coquettishly.
Seeing Huimin like this, the emperor laughed and also coaxed Hongxi.
"Yes, yes, it's Ama's fault. Hongxi is not fat."
"Otherwise my beloved concubine will be angry."
Huimin showed a shy expression at the right time.
"Emperor~"
The emperor looked at his adorable little son and enjoyed the family happiness.
When Hongxi called himself "Ama", the emperor felt that it was just like being with an ordinary family.
The Fourth Prince had just committed the crime of killing his brother and was even so ambitious that he wanted to be the emperor himself. The Emperor was very dissatisfied.
But in Chengqian Palace, the current atmosphere just fills the void in the emperor's heart.
The five people were having their meal happily, and Su Peisheng was serving food to the emperor.
I was surprised when I saw this scene. I thought it was Concubine Xian who had a solution.
Over the years, the emperor has been satisfied with Concubine Xian and rarely says anything about her. But how could Su Peisheng, who has served the emperor for so many years, not understand what the emperor is thinking?
The virtuous imperial concubine is really good at this.
Over the past ten years, no matter how many concubines in the harem rose and fell, Concubine Xian remained standing.
For those who were once favored, that favor is gone like a passing cloud, nowhere to be found.
But this person, who has never been the emperor's favorite, still sits firmly on the high throne.
Now, An said that the emperor doesn’t have this person in his heart?
After dinner, Hongyao would usually stay with Huimin and talk to his brother for another quarter of an hour before leaving.
But this time is different from the past, the emperor has always been special.
The emperor watched Hongyao grow up gradually. This son had been his favorite since he was young.
The emperor himself came to Hongyao's enlightenment and would visit him every few days. At that time, there were few children in the palace and the three princes spent the most time with the emperor, among whom Hongyao was the closest, and the father-son relationship was the deepest.
Now Hongyao has grown up. He is friendly to his brothers, respectful to his elders, praised by his teacher, and excels in both literature and martial arts.
Hongqing, Hongyao and Hongjun are the ones that the emperor has invested a lot of effort in.
Among these three children, Hongjun was the emperor's favorite who accompanied him during his illnesses many times when he was young. Although Hongqing had defects, the emperor also took him into consideration. He put a lot of thought into the arrangements for Hahazhuzi.
The emperor, out of his love for his son, called Hongyao to his side. He asked about Hongyao's food and accommodation, and asked if Hahazhuzi was obedient.
Hongyao answered one by one, and the emperor began to recall Hongyao's childhood memories.
"When you were little, you were as naughty as Hongxi. Hongjun was a quiet person, but he also loved to run behind you."
……
After saying this, the emperor began to randomly check Hongyao's recitation. Seeing that Hongyao answered fluently, he was even more satisfied.
Only after this did the emperor let Hongyao go.
Then the emperor played with Wen Yi and Hongxi for a long time, acting like a good father.
When the emperor and Huimin were alone in the main hall, the emperor was still feeling emotional.
"Time flies by so fast. I still remember how rosy Hongyao looked when he was just born. Now the child has grown up."
Watching the emperor sigh and recall the past, he expressed that as a father, he felt that children grow up really fast.
Huimin agreed with the emperor, saying every word to make sure he didn't fall to the ground, but she was quite disdainful in her heart. It was true that children grew up fast, but as a mother, she knew the details of their growth and the process of growing up. The emperor, as a father, was really...
For the children of the royal family, their father does not seem like a father but more like a king.
Children call themselves "sons of ministers", but in many cases, these ministers are their essence.
If you treat the emperor as your father, he might even think you are overstepping the boundaries.
The princes lived in fear and tread on thin ice with the emperor.
Always pay attention to your words and actions. As you get older, every word you say will be broken down and looked at carefully.
Mothers play two roles at the same time, both mother and father.
Encourage children to make progress and protect them from wind and rain.
Sometimes, a child’s father can even be the biggest storm they ever go through.
If you're not careful, your spine will be broken.
