Chapter 717 The caring father who gets confused
"Drive!"
"Faster!"
In the night, a low, cold voice rang out, slowly reverberating in the air.
The moonlight reflected on the man's face and on his sweat-soaked forehead, revealing a bit of anxiety.
Mu Yihan had been exhausted all the way, but now, he finally hurried to the capital.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he shook off the soldiers who were kneeling respectfully behind him and rushed towards the Jiang Mansion.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, and with it, his heartbeat.
Rushing back to the capital from the southern province, Mu Yihan was very happy that the world was at peace.
However, just twenty years after leaving the capital.
He saw that in a small temple, there were several men, women, old and young, praying for the princess and lighting lanterns.
At first, Mu Yihan didn't understand what it meant, and thought it was just a normal prayer for safety.
But when he asked, he heard an old woman say that Princess Fuxing was sick.
And it was news from the city!
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yihan was suddenly very nervous.
He wanted to grow wings and fly back to the lady.
"Nuobao, it's Daddy's fault. He shouldn't have left you for so long." Mu Yihan's face was pale. He turned around and left the temple, and he felt his throat burning.
In order to get back quickly, he grabbed the reins tightly, and his palms were all red.
The horse that had been with him for many years seemed to be able to sense the urgency of his master.
So it endured the fatigue and continued to run all the way, refusing to stop even when blisters appeared on its hooves.
Until it entered the city gate...
Meanwhile, in Jiang's house, everyone stared at the full moon and laughed for a long time, and finally sat down again to continue the feast.
Li Qiqiao also brought two pots of osmanthus wine and one pot of rose water to cheer everyone up.
Little Nuobao ate the hot crab meat pot and drank the sweet rose water. When he looked up, his little mouth was stained with a circle of roses, which looked red and funny.
Feng hurriedly took out a handkerchief and was about to wipe it for the lady.
But at this moment, there was a sudden clanging sound outside the house gate.
The noise was so loud that even those sitting in the inner courtyard could hear it clearly.
Sun Chunxue looked up in confusion, "Listen, there are people outside? Who can come to our house so late?"
"Could it be Jia Ji and Lin Chunlai? When I went to their house to invite people during the day, I heard that they went to Cang Province to buy special roast chicken together. Could they be back now?" Jiang Fenghu muttered curiously.
But soon, the suspense was revealed!
The servants outside the courtyard exclaimed twice, and then the hanging flower door opened. The next moment, a tall and wide outline appeared at the entrance of the small door.
Xiao Nuobao still had half a piece of crab meat in his mouth. He looked up when he heard the voice, and his two big eyes almost trembled.
Is it daddy?
It's the daddy she missed day and night who is back!
"Daddy! Is it really you? You are finally back. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival!"
The little fat girl left the crab meat pot, but she was too excited.
Then, with her little face red from eating spicy food, she ran towards Mu Yihan like a little ball.
Mu Yihan came over with big strides, and easily lifted the little Nuobao into his arms.
But he didn't care about his happiness. Instead, he stared at the little face of the lady, which made him even more nervous.
"Nuobao, let daddy see, what's wrong with you? Did Doctor Wu say when you will get better?" Mu Yihan breathed quickly.
Everyone stood up quickly and was about to step forward to greet him.
But after hearing this, Mrs. Feng was a little confused. What kind of illness is it? The lady has been fine all the time.
Jiang Fengze said hurriedly, "Master Imperial Master, did you misunderstand something? My sister is fine. During the time you were away, she was able to eat and sleep well, and she slept soundly. There is nothing wrong with her."
Little Nuobao raised her feet in dissatisfaction.
Third brother, how can you ruin her image of a little cotton-padded jacket!
At least you should say a few words, saying that she was thinking about her father and lost two pounds.
Mu Yihan held the fat girl's little feet and hurriedly told her about the prayer signs and the incense lamps that he could not see outside the city.
"Since she is not sick, then what's going on!"
After listening, the Feng family and others suddenly realized and couldn't help laughing.
Fengze quickly explained with a smile, "So that's how it is. Don't worry, Master Imperial Master, it was just a false news to confuse Gu Jun. It was just a trick."
Hearing that it was just a misunderstanding, Mu Yihan's heart finally relaxed a little.
But even so, he still couldn't be completely assured.
Just like that, Mu Yihan lifted up Xiao Nuobao's arms, pinched her fat legs, and poked her belly, like a worried old farmer checking the New Year pig, until he was sure that the girl was still a little fat girl, then he showed a satisfied look. Xiao Nuobao
was like a fish fried in a pot. She was turned over several times by her father, and her little fat was poked all over.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this. This is really a real father.
How can you guarantee health with milk fat?
When he was done, Jiang Fengze also invited the Imperial Master to take a seat.
"You've worked hard along the way. Come sit down and enjoy the moon with us. Second sister-in-law, bring some osmanthus wine."
"Okay, there's a pot of crab meatballs in the kitchen that haven't been fried yet. I'll go make some too, so that I can welcome the Imperial Master." Li Qiqiao was like a hardworking little bee.
Mu Yihan nodded, his arms still tightly around the lady. After sitting down, he didn't complain. He picked up the crab meat pot left over by the lady and started to feast on it.
The worry along the way almost made him forget about his hunger. It was
n't until he saw that the lady was fine and held her in his arms that Mu Yihan remembered that he hadn't eaten for most of the day.
Xiao Nuobao sat on his father's lap and looked at his cheeks distressedly, and found that he had indeed lost a lot of weight.
However, he thought that the thief would soon be killed by the epidemic.
She smiled with her little white teeth, hugged her father's neck and said coquettishly, "Daddy, your trip to Southern Province was really hard, but don't worry, Nuobao didn't eat in vain at home, I have prepared a surprise for you!"
Needless to say, this night.
The "custody rights" of little Nuobao must be tightly grasped in Mu Yihan's hands.
On the exquisite step-out bed, Mu Yihan closed his eyes, listening to the mosquito-like snoring in his ears, as if it were heavenly music, and he had never slept so soundly.
When it was light again, Mu Yihan opened his eyelids, rubbed the footprints on his face, and then gently moved the little fat girl lying on his chest to the pillow.
Then he walked out the door and ordered someone to bring back the two boxes.
Inside were all the gifts brought back from the Gu family's house when the family was confiscated.
"Nuobao will definitely like it when she sees it. It's enough for her to play for half a day."
Mu Yihan lowered his eyes and thought about it, and his face showed the kindness of an old father.
But on weekdays, there were too many small gifts, so this time, he wanted to add some more.
So, Mu Yihan took them to the back garden.
Then, he went to lift the quilts of Fengjing and Fengmiao, grabbed the two sleepy boys, and dragged them directly to do hard labor.
"Make all these treasure boxes look like treasure hunts. You can hide them in the bushes, on the branches, or behind the rocks."
"After you hide them, draw a treasure map. Don't make it too difficult or too easy. I will reward you if you do it well."
The two boys were still yawning, but when they heard that they were going to work for their sister, they quickly hid the gifts and drew the treasure map.
They acted like good brothers.
When they finished all this, when Mu Yihan came to check, he narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, as if his heart was filled with something.
It was just a pity for the two boys. They were tired again and stood by the side, yawning non-stop.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here, go back and get some sleep."
Mu Yihan raised his big hand, hummed and shook his head, and patted someone on the back of the neck. The
job of coaxing the child was done.
Next, it was time to deal with business.
Mu Yihan left the back garden, walked along the corridor, and headed towards Fengze's house.
When he was away, Jiang Fengze kept the peace in the capital, which was very good.
And now, he is back.
It's time to turn defense into offense, clean up the remnants outside the city, and completely restore peace to Nanji!
