Chapter 497 Today’s Reunion Is Hard-Earned
Li Suining drank a bowl of porridge obediently and became completely sober.
"What do you want to do today?" Bai Yu'an asked softly, "Do you want to go out for a walk? Second brother will take you to buy lanterns?"
The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and my family is busy before the New Year, so I haven’t prepared lanterns for the little one.
Li Suining shook his little head, looking like he was worried about something.
"Second brother, I want to go to the palace to see Sister Fuxing." She raised her head and said with some concern, "Sister Fuxing is staying alone in the Imperial Master's Palace now. I feel a little sorry for her."
Bai Yu'an's expression changed slightly. He actually hesitated for a while. He wanted to tell his sister to go see Fuxing together, but he felt that this was not a good idea. He didn't expect that his sister would take the initiative to suggest going to see Fuxing.
He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, if you want to go, I will go with you."
"Thank you, second brother!" said the little dumpling happily.
Bai Yu'an helped Xiaotuanzi choose a festive outfit, and carried her to find Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu.
"Dad, Mom!" As soon as he entered the house, the little girl called out in a baby voice.
"Sister!" Two more childish voices sounded. It turned out that Xiaoba and Xiaojiu were both there. When they saw their sister coming, they immediately came over.
"Come, come to daddy." Bai Yunfeng called out.
Bai Yu'an quickly sent the person over. He saw that the third and fourth brothers were there and nodded at them.
Soon, little Tuanzi sat in Bai Yunfeng's arms. She curiously watched her father and mother choosing patterns for new clothes, preparing to give everyone a brand new look for the Lantern Festival.
"Which one does Suining like?" Wei Ranzhu asked with a smile, "You choose first. Once you've chosen, let your younger brothers and sisters choose."
Bai Yian and Bai Mian'an also climbed up immediately and squeezed around Bai Yunfeng, wanting to be closer to their sister.
Xiaomian, who was obviously a chatterbox, immediately stretched out her hand and pointed at a pattern with flowers, "This one, sister, choose this one."
Xiao Yian also stretched out his little hand and pointed to a pattern of a kitten playing with a butterfly. He looked at Li Suining with sparkling eyes, obviously wanting Li Suining to choose this one.
"Okay, both of you, be quiet and let your sister choose." Wei Ranzhu laughed and asked Li Suining, "Which one does our Suining like?"
Li Suining looked at his younger siblings and pointed at the floral pattern. "This is for my ninth sister!"
Then she pointed to another one and said, "This one is for Eighth Brother."
She understood that her younger siblings chose these two because they liked them, so she wouldn't compete with them for them.
She looked at the remaining patterns again and quickly chose one with a small butterfly. "Mom, I like this one."
"Okay." Wei Ranzhu knew that the little girl was sensible, so she asked Xiaoba and Xiaojiu, "Are you satisfied with what I chose for you?"
The two little ones nodded together.
"Okay, I'll take care of the arrangements for the rest." Wei Ranzhu began to choose patterns for others.
"Dad, Mom," Li Suining finally spoke at the right time, "I want to stay in the palace for a few days, is that okay?"
"Hmm?" Wei Ranzhu subconsciously glanced over, his expression clearly reluctant. "Why do you want to go to the palace again after just coming back?"
"Yeah, is there something you're not used to at home?" Bai Yunfeng obviously didn't want Li Suining to enter the palace either. It was too dangerous there. "Or if you need anything, Daddy will buy it for you, okay?"
Li Suining immediately shook her head. "No, my family is very good and we have everything we need. I also want to stay home for a few more days, but... when we entered the palace last night, Sister Fuxing was injured, and I want to go and keep her company."
She didn't dare tell Fuxing that he was poisoned, for fear that his father and mother would worry even more.
"Is that so?" Wei Ranzhu sighed softly. "This lucky star is quite pitiful. He has no one to rely on in the imperial city. This time he helped his family a lot. If you want to go, go ahead."
"Yes, then when you meet Miss Fuxing, thank her on behalf of your father." Bai Yunfeng had no choice but to let him go.
"Then..." Bai Yunfeng looked at his sons.
"Dad, Mom, I'm sending my sister to the palace." Bai Yu'an said proactively. He could feel Xiao Wu's gaze, but he ignored it.
"Okay, Qing'an is probably busy right now, so you can take your sister there." Bai Yunfeng nodded in agreement.
Wei Ranzhu put on her shoes and picked up Li Suining. "Come on, Mom will go back and pack some clothes for you. How long are you planning to stay this time?"
"Aren't you going to the palace during the Lantern Festival?" Li Suining had already made up his mind. "Then I'll come back with you."
"Okay!" Wei Ranzhu took Li Suining to pack up.
Bai Yu'an planned to go over and take a look together, but was stopped by Xiao Wu.
The two brothers, one standing and the other sitting in a wheelchair, were silent under the eaves.
"Third brother, if you don't have anything to say, I'll go find my sister first." Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Bai Yu'an raised his leg and prepared to leave.
"Brother, no matter what you want to do, I just want to remind you," Xiao Wu looked up at his back, "Think more about your sister. It's not easy for our family to be reunited today."
Bai Yu'an knew that Xiao Wu must have misunderstood and thought that he was the one who instigated Li Suining to go to the palace to find Fuxing. He didn't want to explain and left without looking back.
Soon, Li Suining packed up his things and the brother and sister finally set off.
On the way, Bai Yu'an asked Li Suining softly, "Sister, besides seeing Fuxing being poisoned last night, did you see anything else?"
Li Suining shook her head. When she saw Sister Fuxing being poisoned, she was so scared that she quickly went to find her eldest brother. She really didn't have time to see what happened afterwards.
"Second brother, are you worried that Sister Fuxing might be in other danger?" Little Dumpling asked, tilting his head.
Bai Yu'an pulled the corner of his mouth, "Second brother is more worried about you. Remember, Fuxing... is more powerful than you think. She... may really need our care right now, but if it's just the two of you, and something dangerous really happens, you have to protect yourself first, understand?"
"Yeah!" Little Dumpling nodded, seemingly understanding, and then turned to comfort Bai Yu'an, "Second brother, don't worry, I will protect her, and I will also protect Sister Fuxing. Don't forget, I have a secret weapon."
Bai Yu'an smiled and shook his head, gently pinching the little guy's nose, "I know, of course my sister is the best."
The brother and sister chatted and laughed all the way and soon entered the palace. Li Suining was familiar with the place and brought Bai Yu'an to the door of the National Master's Palace.
"Second brother, this is it. Sister Fuxing lives here." Little Dumpling said excitedly.
Bai Yuan nodded in understanding. He had not been to the palace many times, let alone to the harem.
He glanced at the tall palace gate and found it hard to imagine that Fuxing had such a high status in the palace.
"I'll knock on the door!" He took a few steps forward, knocked on the door hard, and then stood with Xiaotuanzi, waiting for someone to open the door.
