Chapter 120 Return Home
When the Queen's procession appeared at the gate of the Song Mansion, all the Song family members looked confused and felt uneasy.
This feeling of uneasiness started yesterday when the news came that the Queen was going to visit the Song Mansion. What made them uneasy was that the palace rules stated that the queen was not allowed to leave the palace at will.
Song Huaixi had just entered the palace for a few days, and he was back already. It's inevitable that people worry whether something has happened in the palace.
Everyone waited in front of the door and watched the magnificent sedan chair belonging to the Queen slowly approaching.
Before the sedan chair came to a complete stop, Song Huaixi could not wait to open the curtain, revealing an excited face, and shouted to the people in front of the mansion gate: "Dad and Mom! Brother and sister-in-law! Huaixi misses you so much!"
When everyone saw how high his spirits were, their uneasiness immediately disappeared. Hurrying forward to greet him.
"Empress, why are you back?" Lin Rugui hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to find out what was going on.
"Mom? Why don't you call me Huaixi anymore?" He was slightly stunned. Lin Rugui's name made him feel a little unfamiliar. Song Huaixi pursed her lips in confusion: "They all call me that in the palace, why do you call me that too, mother?"
"Silly child." Lin Rugui listened to his childish question and explained with a smile: "Huai Xi, you are of noble status now, so we naturally cannot neglect you."
Seeing that there was a large group of palace servants following him, Song Zigen said, "Stop standing outside and come inside to talk."
Song Huaixi entered the Song Mansion and found that his original home seemed to have changed a lot. Become wide and beautiful.
"Is this our home?" Song Huaixi looked around and was very surprised: "How beautiful!"
The originally square courtyard has now become spacious, the blue bricks on the ground are smooth and clean, with a faint luster under the sunlight. Several vigorous pine and cypress trees are planted in the garden, and the scattered shadows of the trees bring a sense of simplicity and tranquility.
Going further in, you will see quaint lanterns hanging under the exquisite eaves of the corridor. The doors and windows are exquisitely carved.
Song Huaixi walked among them, looking and touching, his eyes widened. I didn't expect their family to have changed so much.
Seeing his surprise, Zhao Qionghuan smiled and said, "Why? Didn't Chunhua Chaolu tell you? These are all bought for us by the emperor."
"Zhao Fangye? Zhao Fangye is so nice!"
Knowing that all these were done by Zhao Fangye for the Song family, Song Huaixi couldn't help feeling sweet in his heart.
It turned out that Chunhua and Chaolu said that there were new things in the house, and he thought they were just some small items. I didn't expect that it would be so different when I actually saw it.
Zhao Qionghuan saw the sweetness on his brows and joked, "Yes, yes, this is all thanks to Huaixi. The emperor loves her and loves her dog too."
At the dinner table, the family asked Song Huaixi how he was doing in the palace. Chunhua and Chaolu, who came back with him, replied, "Your Highness is living well in the palace, and the Emperor loves you very much."
Song Huaixi's cheeks were red and he looked a little embarrassed. The whole family felt relieved to see him like this. It seems like he is living a good life.
She looks even better than before she returned to Beijing. It seems that the life of luxury in the palace is really nourishing. It looks more and more round and smooth.
"Huai Xi, what is the reason for your return this time?" Lin Rugui didn't get an answer just now, and now it was brought up again.
She was always uneasy for some unknown reason.
Home is not like the palace. Song Huaixi feels more comfortable and doesn't need to pay attention to his manners all the time.
"I... am just bored... and miss my mother." Song Huaixi couldn't think too much. He chewed his words and said incoherently: "Zhao Fangye said that I can come back anytime I want."
this.....
As a family, you look at me and I look at you. They were all surprised that Zhao Fangye was too indulgent towards Song Huaixi. How can the mother of a country just come back like that? Isn't that very impolite?
Lin Rugui and Song Zigen looked at each other and exchanged glances. Then Song Zigen said with a smile: "Why does Huaixi miss home? Isn't the palace good?"
"Hmm..." Song Huaixi put down his bowl and chopsticks, frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It's not bad at all, the palace is also very good."
"The palace is very beautiful, with many large houses. The snacks in the palace are also delicious. Zhao Fangye is also very good to me. But..."
Song Huaixi hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say: "But...no one is talking...Zhao Fangye is very busy, and I feel very lonely..."
After hearing his words, everyone fell silent.
After all, the palace is not as comfortable as home. It is normal for Song Huaixi to feel lonely. After all, the only person he could rely on in the palace was Zhao Fangye.
Once he left Zhao Fangye, the focus of his life would no longer be there. But Zhao Fangye was the king of a country and it was impossible for him to indulge in love affairs every day.
Song Zigen recalled the instructions he had given him in Hanzhou. I had expected it then. Obviously the kid didn't listen. I can't help but reiterate it to him again.
"Huai Xi." Song Zigen's slightly old but kind eyes looked at him: "Do you remember what Daddy said to you before?"
"What?" Song Huaixi bit his chopsticks and said, "Dad, you said a lot to me before."
Song Zigen smiled softly: "Silly child. Daddy once told you that you can't always be around the emperor. Life is so long, you should find something you like to do. This way you won't be lonely."
"Oh!" Song Huaixi dug out their conversation from his memory: "I remember!"
It was just that he was reuniting with Zhao Fangye at the time, and Song Zigeng’s words were so profound that he didn’t remember much in the end. Now when I hear Song Zigen talk about him again, I finally understand.
Supporting his chin with his hand, Song Huaixi was a little distressed: "Then what should I do?"
"Well, just think about it slowly." Lin Rugui picked up some food for him and said, "Eat first, and then you can talk to mom for a while."
Before the palace gates were closed, Song Huaixi was brought back to the palace by people sent by Zhao Fangye. I thought Song Huaixi would be in a better mood after playing at home for a day.
But unexpectedly, Song Huaixi frowned and no one knew what he was thinking. I often get distracted during dinner.
"What's wrong? You look absent-minded." After dinner, the two sat on the soft couch in the imperial study. Zhao Fangye pinched his chin and asked, "Are you unhappy to go home?"
"Happy!" Coming back to her senses, Song Huaixi leaned forward and pecked him on the lips: "Thank you, our house has become so beautiful."
Smiling and touching his cheek, Zhao Fangye interlocked his fingers with his: "Why are you so blank, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about doing something. Daddy said that I can't always be around you. I have to find something to do." Song Huaixi spoke without hesitation.
If Zhao Fangye didn't know what kind of person Song Zigen was, he would have suspected that he was trying to sow discord.
Song Zigen in the Song Mansion suddenly yawned. He murmured, "This is strange. Could it be that someone is saying something bad about me?"
