Chapter 67 Your presence is a blessing
After being treated by Ouyang Tongji, Song Zigen's health gradually improved.
Song Huaixi has lived in the Song Mansion for some time. Zhao Fangye did not mention returning home either.
One day, after Zhao Fangye went to court.
Song Huaixi had nothing to do, so he went to Lin Rugui's yard to talk to her.
Seeing him coming, Lin Rugui sat on a stool while embroidering the flowers in her hands and said, "Huai Xi is here? Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten, mother." Song Huaixi sat beside her, very intimately.
Seeing him acting coquettishly towards her, Lin Rugui put the embroidery frame aside.
Touching his head, he teased him with a smile: "You only come to my place to cling to me when the prince is at court. You usually stick to the prince."
Being teased by her mother, Song Huaixi blushed as she lay on her mother's knees, but did not refute.
Lin Rugui was very pleased to see him like this.
Lin Rugui stroked his youngest son's head with his hand. Although he felt a little reluctant, he still said seriously, "Huaixi, you and the prince will return to the palace tomorrow."
"Why?" Upon hearing this, Song Huaixi immediately raised her head, and the blush on her face was replaced by confusion.
After returning to the Song Mansion and staying with his parents, brother and sister-in-law, Song Huaixi felt very safe and happy.
But why did mother ask him to go back?
"Mom, don't you like me staying at home?" Getting up from Lin Rugui's knees, Song Huaixi looked at her with disappointment in his eyes and said, "But I want to stay at home with you."
"Huai Xi, mother can't bear to leave you either. But you are now the Princess of Ning after all. What's it like to stay at your mother's house forever?"
Seeing him like this, Lin Rugui took his hand and explained, "The prince has started to go to court again. It is not convenient for him to go back and forth because he is busy with court affairs. It is tiring to travel back and forth. The prince thinks that you are worried about your father and you have lived at home for so long. You should also understand and be considerate of the prince."
Song Huaixi thought about it for a moment and it seemed to be the case. Zhao Fangye was very busy, running back and forth between the Song Mansion, the Imperial Palace, and the military camp every day.
Sometimes Adjutant Sun would send a lot of documents over. These days, when Song Huaixi woke up at night, he could still see Zhao Fangye's back as he handled documents by candlelight.
Seeing that he was persuaded, Lin Rugui continued, "Your father is getting better now, Huaixi, don't worry. Go and tell the prince that you will return home tomorrow. Don't be ignorant anymore."
Song Huaixi nodded, still a little reluctant, but still whispered: "I know."
"Good boy." Lin Rugui patted his head with relief: "Also, Aunt Zhang will not go back with you."
Song Huaixi and Zhao Fangye are now inseparable, and Nanny Zhang, an old lady from the Song family, is by his side. After all, there are some bad things.
At the beginning, she was asked to remind Song Huaixi not to violate the prince's taboo, but now it is no longer necessary.
Everyone in the Song family saw how Zhao Fangye treated Song Huaixi.
In the evening, Zhao Fangye came back a little early after finishing his business.
Seeing that Song Huaixi was still awake, he sat on the edge of the bed and rang the small bell on the bed curtain.
The warm yellow candlelight shone on his fair face, and his long, curly eyelashes cast a circle of shadows on his cheeks. She was lost in thought, quiet and well-behaved.
Zhao Fangye's fatigue from the day completely disappeared the moment he saw Song Huaixi.
She took off her outer robe, rolled up her sleeves and walked over to hug him: "What are you thinking about, Huaixi? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Zhao Fangye's arms still carried the coolness from outside, and Song Huaixi immediately came back to his senses.
She reached out and hugged his neck, her voice soft and full of joy: "You're back!"
Zhao Fangye lowered his head and kissed him lightly on the lips. He then put his arms around his waist and leaned his head on his shoulder: "Do you miss your husband?"
“I thought about it!”
Song Huaixi turned around and looked at him without hesitation, her eyes sparkling with Zhao Fangye's shadow.
Zhao Fangye's heart was moved by his gaze. He tilted his head and kissed his fair and slender neck and whispered, "Be good."
During the past few days of court attendance, the prince's party had caused him a lot of trouble.
There was a sudden flood in Hanzhou, and the court was appointing officials to provide disaster relief. Following the advice of the Grand Censor and the Prince's cronies, the Emperor passed this mess to Zhao Fangye.
The disaster-stricken area in Hanzhou is large. A flood left people homeless, and after the flood, an epidemic broke out. The situation was critical, but local officials did nothing.
For a time, the people complained and began to distrust the emperor's rule. In addition, the treasury deficit in the previous period increased taxes.
People's lives were already difficult, and now they were hit by this disaster. The large number of refugees gradually caused riots.
A large number of disaster victims gathered together and wandered around, spreading the disease to the surrounding areas. If this continues, the consequences will be disastrous.
The court needed someone who represented the royal majesty to appease the people, but Hanzhou was dangerous and no one was willing to gamble their lives. They are all making excuses.
Seeing this, the prince's party would naturally not miss such a good opportunity.
The prince is now under house arrest, and the emperor has not yet given the order for his release. Right now, Prince Ning is the most suitable person in the court.
They wished that Zhao Fangye would get sick and die in Hanzhou. He immediately suggested to the emperor that Prince Ning should go to Hanzhou to provide disaster relief.
Of course the emperor would not refuse. No matter how you look at it, this is a good thing for him.
It would be great if Zhao Fangye could stop the riots and appease the people. If he died in Hanzhou, he would be even happier.
Thinking about the things happening in the court, Zhao Fangye's eyes were filled with coldness. The body in my arms is soft and warm.
Zhao Fangye's expression softened as he hugged him, and he did not tell him that he was going to Hanzhou.
"I've been busy these days and haven't had time to spend with Huaixi. How about I take you outing when the weather warms up?"
"OK!"
Song Huaixi immediately became happy when he heard it. But thinking of what my mother said today, I shook my head again: "Zhao Fangye, are you very tired? Then I don't want to go outing."
Zhao Fangye was stunned as if his heart was suddenly filled with warmth.
She hugged him tightly and smelled his warm fragrance, whispering: "How can I be tired when accompanying Huai Xi?"
"Really?"
Song Huaixi turned around and held Zhao Fangye's handsome face, and saw the faint blue color under his eyes.
Feeling a little distressed, Song Huaixi held his face and said seriously: "But you look so tired. Zhao Fangye. Is there any way I can make you less tired? Let's go back to the palace, so you won't be so tired."
He continued, "Go back to the palace, I'll serve you tea, feed you, and dress you, okay?"
These are what Zhao Fangye did to him on a daily basis.
Lin Rugui's words today made Song Huaixi inadvertently think of something.
It seemed that it was Zhao Fangye who had always taken care of him and indulged him. But it seemed like I didn't help Zhao Fangye at all.
He also wanted to do something for Zhao Fangye.
Hearing him preparing to serve him tea and water, Zhao Fangye couldn't help laughing.
But I feel extremely comforted in my heart. No matter how dirty, disgusting, cold and cruel the world ahead of him is. When you turn around, there is always a warm place to stay behind you.
It can make him come alive again when he is exhausted and full of disappointment.
Zhao Fangye held him tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to embed him into his heart.
"No, Huaixi, you don't need to do anything for me. Your presence is a blessing."
