Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Beautiful and Strong Miserable Dad 27

After returning to the palace, Zhuo Zhuo clearly felt that Feng Pansheng had become busier, and more people were entering and leaving the palace every day. In addition to the familiar Shen Xingyun, Gan Song and others, there were also many officials wearing court robes, as well as some military generals.

A few days ago, when Zhuozhuo was playing in the study, he saw several civil officials, military generals and strategists arguing fiercely over a map. Feng Pansheng seemed to take it very seriously and he didn't even look at anything else while these people were arguing.

Zhuozhuo wanted to go over and see what was on the map, but she felt a bit listless and didn't go. Instead, she collapsed on the couch and slept until the evening. When she woke up, she saw more memorials piled on the desk in front of Feng Pansheng. She felt disappointed and went to play in the yard.

That day, Zhuozhuo lay on the pavilion railing, watching the koi fish in the small lake. The warm autumn sun shone on her, and she felt drowsy. Just as she was about to drift off, she saw a group of eunuchs carrying something to the main courtyard. Everyone who saw them along the way suppressed their excitement.

What could be so strange? Zhuozhuo wanted to go and see. She leaned against the railing to stand up, but she forgot she was standing on a seat. The sun made her feel a little dizzy, and she swayed and fell into the lake.

Plop.

Zhuozhuo swatted away the gathered koi fish. She sank to the bottom, then instinctively struggled to swim upwards. But her layers of clothing were soaked and too heavy. After struggling several times, Zhuozhu couldn't reach the surface. She drank a bellyful of water, completely draining her strength.

9972 screamed and began to instruct Zhuozhuo on how to paddle, but she was only three years old and could barely communicate normally, but she was too panicked when she was drowning to follow instructions at all.

Seeing Zhuozhuo about to sink to the bottom again, 9972 was almost panicked. He quickly transferred his points to Zhuozhuo and opened the system store to buy props. Just before 9972 put the protective ring on Zhuozhuo, a dark figure swam over swiftly, picked up Zhuozhuo, and rushed out of the water.

Zhuozhuo seemed to be in the water for a long time, but in fact it was less than a minute. After being rescued to the shore, he cried and spit out water, "Daddy!"

Everyone wrapped Zhuozhuo in dry outer clothes. Some went to ask Bai Zhu for help, and some rushed to send her back to the yard, but on the way, Feng Pansheng, who had heard the news, took her into his arms.

Feng Pansheng's heart nearly leaped when he heard Zhuozhuo had fallen into the water, but that wasn't as strong as the feeling of holding her chilly little body in his arms. He felt as if he had split in two. His body continued to walk woodenly, but his soul had lost its color. That was until Bai Zhu arrived and told him to put Zhuozhuo on the bed.

Feng Pansheng put Zhuozhuo down and watched Bai Zhu examine him skillfully and calmly. He held his breath and asked the moment Bai Zhu withdrew his hand, "How is it?"

"It's not a big deal if you fall into the water. You just choked on the water and got frightened. You will wake up soon." Bai Zhu first reassured Feng Pansheng and was about to say something else, but seeing Feng Pansheng's tense look, he closed his mouth again. It's better to wait until Zhuozhuo wakes up before saying anything else.

Zhuozhu fainted due to emotional ups and downs and lack of oxygen. She woke up soon after. The first thing she saw was Feng Pansheng standing by her bed. She immediately pouted and started crying, "Wow, Daddy, I'm so scared..."

Feng Pansheng held her and her blanket in his arms, rubbing her burning little face. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Daddy will have the lake filled up right away."

"No, without the lake, Yuyu will have no home." Zhuozhuo cried for a while, venting his emotions, then leaned obediently into Feng Pansheng's arms and began to talk to him, "Daddy, please scoop out all the water. The water is too bad."

Feng Pansheng, who had been extremely worried, was amused by this remark and his tense mood relaxed. "Without water, fish will die."

"What should I do then?" Zhuozhuo was in a dilemma. She didn't want Yu Yu to die, but the feeling of drowning was too horrible. She really wanted to take revenge on the water.

"We can scoop out half of the water in the lake to make the water shallower, so shallow that Zhuo Zhuo won't be drowned if he falls in." But the water is so little that it makes no difference whether there is water or not.

Zhuozhuo's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to say "OK", she remembered something and said dejectedly, "But after the rain, there will be more water."

Feng Pansheng, realizing Zhuozhuo's unwavering dissatisfaction with the lake, immediately gave up on the idea of ​​saving it and said, "Then fill up the lake and keep the fish in a tank."

“How do you keep it in a water tank?”

Feng Pansheng gave a few instructions and had someone prepare the water tank. He then brought a cup of warm water to Zhuozhuo, "Does your throat hurt? Have some water."

"It hurts," Zhuozhuo drank the water obediently and said softly, "Daddy, I'm so afraid of the pain."

"Well, talk less, Zhuozhuo doesn't feel any pain anymore. Daddy will never let Zhuozhuo have such an accident again." Thinking of the feeling when he held Zhuozhuo in his arms, Feng Pansheng didn't want to experience it again until his death.

Feng Pansheng lost his father as a child, his uncle, mother, and grandfather as a teenager, but he was too weak back then. Besides grief, he was also sustained by anger and hatred. Now that his vengeance had been exacted, Zhuozhuo was his spiritual support, his everything. He couldn't afford to lose her.

After Zhuozhuo finished drinking, Feng Pansheng bent his index finger and gently scratched her neck, comforting her that it didn't hurt anymore. A moment later, the servants brought in a water jar, and Feng Pansheng held Zhuozhuo to look at it.

It was called a water tank, but it was actually a white jade basin. Lotus flowers were carved on the outside, and intricate patterns were painted on the inside. The clear water reflected the patterns, making them seem alive. Two koi fish, each about half the length of a palm, swam back and forth in a startled manner.

Zhuozhuo fell in love with it the moment he saw it. He stretched his head to look at it for a long time, then looked up and asked Feng Pansheng, "Daddy, do you have a bigger basin? Yuyu is too crowded in it."

The attendant smiled and said yes, there were also two larger ones carried over and were placed in the yard.

Zhuozhuo urged Feng Pansheng to carry her out to see the baby. Feng Pansheng was so annoyed that he wrapped her up tightly again before carrying her to the yard. Two large water tanks, about 1.5 meters high, were very conspicuous in the yard.

The large water tank wasn't as exquisite as the white jade basin, but it possessed a simple and quaint beauty. It was 70% filled with water, and then filled with water plants, lotus flowers, and lotus leaves. Several large koi fish, half an arm's length long, swam leisurely in it. Because the water was so deep, one could often only catch a fleeting glimpse of the fish's bodies and a quick, fluttering tail.

Zhuozhuo peered at it for a while and said, "It looks just like being in a lake."

When in the lake, the koi will mostly only appear on the water surface when being fed or when someone is feeding them. Most of the time they are in deeper water. Even if they float up, they will sink quickly or hide under lotus leaves or in shadows so that they cannot be seen.

Recently, Feng Pansheng has no time to play with Zhuozhuo, and Zhuozhuo always feels tired and doesn't run around having fun. He especially likes to watch the fish by the lake, guessing where the fish will appear and which fish will appear where. It's also very interesting.

Feng Pan was afraid that Shao Shao would catch a cold, so he took her little hand off the water tank. "Then put all the fish in the tank? We have many tanks, so we only need to put two or three in each tank. We don't have to worry about them getting crowded."

This was the best solution, but Zhuozhuo thought about it for a while and said, "No."

"Um?"

Zhuozhuo said innocently, "In the lake, every fish has its own lake, and in the tank, every fish has only one tank. No, let's not do this anymore." She said seriously, "Daddy, we won't touch the lake anymore. The lake is the fish's home."

Feng Pansheng was incredibly soft-hearted. What kindhearted little darling was this, caring so much about a fish? His voice was particularly gentle. "Okay, I'll listen to Zhuozhuo. Zhuozhuo, do you want to go to the lake again in the future?"

"Yes." Zhuozhuo was a bit conflicted. She wanted to play, but she was also afraid of falling into the lake again. If Zhuozhuo had jumped into the water on her own initiative or with preparation, she wouldn't have been so scared. The main reason was that she fell so suddenly this time, without any warning, it was too scary.

"Then Zhuozhuo should have a good rest and try not to get sick, so that you can continue playing tomorrow." All we need to do is add a high fence around the lake.

Feng Pansheng sent Zhuozhuo back to bed and covered her with a blanket, "Sleep for a while." It was exactly Zhuozhuo's nap time, and she would recover faster after a short sleep.

"Okay." Zhuozhuo's eyelids felt heavy, and she slowly closed them. Then, with a flutter, she opened them again and said to Feng Pansheng, "Daddy, don't be too tired. You should sleep even if you're sleepy."

Feng Pansheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that Zhuozhuo hadn't asked to take a nap with him recently. He felt a little empty and uncomfortable, and said, "Daddy, can you sleep with Zhuozhuo?"

"Okay!" Zhuozhuo was visibly happy, but soon said worriedly, "Isn't Daddy busy today? If Daddy takes a nap with Zhuozhuo, will we have to sleep very late at night?"

Feng Pansheng's heart felt like it was being punched by a soft little fist. He was about to be tortured to death by this sensible little fellow. He said solemnly, "Daddy is not busy. Zhuozhuo, you are the most important. No one else and nothing else can compare to you. If you want Daddy to accompany you, you can go to Daddy anytime, anywhere. Daddy will definitely be with you."

"But it will delay Daddy's business." Zhuozhuo was very distressed.

"Those things are not important."

Feng Pansheng emphasized this again, fearing that Zhuozhuo still had some concerns in his little head, and deliberately said, "Daddy did those things because he thought Zhuozhuo didn't need him anymore. Daddy has a lot of free time, and he can't just sit there and stare blankly or sleep all day, right? He has to do something else to pass the time."

Seeing Zhuozhuo's eyes widen in surprise, Feng Pansheng didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued pitifully, "Daddy isn't happy when he does those things. He's only happy when he's with Zhuozhuo."

Zhuozhuo was stunned. Thinking carefully, it seemed that Feng Pansheng had indeed never smiled while handling official business. So Feng Pansheng wasn't happy while handling official business? She had thought he simply didn't like to smile while working.

The innocent Zhuozhuo who was coaxed suddenly felt guilty and sad, "Daddy, please don't do things you don't like in the future. Zhuozhuo really wants to play with Daddy. Can Daddy accompany Zhuozhuo every day?"

"good."

Zhuozhuo was very happy. "Daddy, I..." She yawned and swallowed what she wanted to say. "I'm so sleepy..."

Feng Pansheng smiled dotingly at the little one who fell asleep in a second, and quietly took off his coat and lay down on the bed. Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep, Feng Pansheng suddenly woke up, realizing something, and suddenly felt uneasy.

Feng Pansheng sat up and stared at Zhuozhuo, touching her forehead and neck. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that she was sleeping very deeply and didn't have the energy as before.
