Chapter 228 Four Years Old
Two months passed in this non-stop life.
As we enter late spring in March, the weather turns warmer.
Pei Tingyue finally found time to go to Chengming Palace the night before her fourth birthday.
Xie Chen was surprised by her arrival, "Why is Tingyue here?"
Pei Tingyue tilted her head and asked, "Your Majesty is not happy that I am here?"
Xie Chen took her hand and sat down on the couch. "I'm happy. But Tingyue has been working hard. You should just rest when you have time. Why come to me?"
Pei Tingyue refused to sit down next to him. Instead, she climbed onto his legs, hugged him and said, "I'm really tired, but I want to see the emperor."
Xie Chen didn't hide the pain in his eyes, and sighed: "Then hold me and have a good rest."
He has seen the woman's hard work over the past few months.
Sometimes he felt so distressed that he even wanted to say, "Don't be tired, come to my arms, I will take care of everything for you."
In the end, reason suppressed this thought.
He could shield her from the storms of the previous dynasty, but if he handled the affairs of the harem for her, the world would laugh at her incompetence.
Moreover, although he saw that she was tired, she was in high spirits and must have been willing to do so.
From this we can see that his Tingyue is not a dodder, but will grow into a towering tree and truly stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
In this case, he had no reason and could not stop it.
So, he could only do something insignificant.
Go see her late at night, take her to bed for a good sleep, and massage her body to relax her.
Pei Tingyue placed her little face on his shoulder, rested for a while, then nuzzled him affectionately and kissed his pale lips, "I made peach blossom cake for His Majesty, would you like some?"
Xie Chen frowned even more tightly: "Why bother making the cakes yourself when you can just ask the imperial kitchen to make them?"
Pei Tingyue leaned closer to him: "I haven't done it for the emperor in a long time. Now that I have some free time, I naturally want to do it."
Xie Chen said nothing more.
He stood up and took out the small plate of peach blossom cake from the food box. Under Pei Tingyue's gaze, he ate it bite by bite.
When he was halfway through eating, Pei Tingyue stopped him, "Your Majesty, if you feel full, please stop eating."
Xie Chen turned a deaf ear to it.
Finished the whole dish.
This was her gift, so he naturally couldn't waste any of it.
After rinsing his mouth, Xie Chen carried Pei Tingyue to the side hall and said, "Let's take a bath together."
Pei Tingyue laughed secretly.
This person has been a vegetarian for two months and finally can't help it?
Well, actually, she kind of wanted to.
After soaking in the warm pool water for a while, Pei Tingyue felt a little drowsy. She forced herself to stay awake and planned to seduce.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chen only kissed her seriously for a while, then said, "I'll give you a shoulder massage."
Pei Tingyue was puzzled.
What kind of thinking does this person have?
We were kissing so well, shouldn’t we take the next step?
What shoulders are you pinching?
But since he said so, it was not easy to refuse his kindness, so I agreed.
Pei Tingyue felt very comfortable being served like this, and her consciousness gradually sank.
After everyone was completely quiet, Xie Chen let go of his hand, chuckled, and said, "Have a good rest."
After saying that, he carried her out of the water, dried her, and carefully placed her on the dragon bed, then lay down beside her.
*
Have a good night's sleep.
When Pei Tingyue got up the next day, he no longer felt tired and his head no longer hurt. He could be described as refreshed.
She touched the place beside her and it was cold. It seemed that it had been there for a long time.
Pei Tingyue was a little confused.
He has a day off today, and his fourth birthday party is in the afternoon. Why is he getting up so early?
She lifted the quilt and got off the bed. Without washing up first, she went to look for someone.
Found someone in the warm room.
He is...
Educate Xiaosi with earnest words.
"I must fight for my dignity..."
"Don't grab things that you don't like..."
"We need to be more ambitious..."
Pei Tingyue couldn't help but smile.
This is advance guidance. I'm afraid that Xiao Si will make a fool of himself during the celebration.
However, Xiao Si is only one year old and can’t understand.
"Your Majesty, even if you tell Yuzhou, he won't understand."
Xie Chen thought about Xiao Si and said, "He will understand, otherwise I will spank him."
I don't know what's wrong with this.
Xiao Si became excited and danced with joy.
Kick him in the face.
Xie Chen: “…”
His face suddenly darkened.
Pei Tingyue's head is a little big.
I finally understand why this sentence is so familiar.
When Concubine Song mentioned it at the beginning, Xiao Si had already shown rebellious tendencies, and now that it was mentioned again, this rebellious tendencies came out again.
Okay.
She has to clean up the mess caused by her son's mistakes.
Pei Tingyue frowned slightly, walked forward, picked up Xiao Si, and looked at that handsome face, "Let me see quickly, did you kick the emperor?"
Seeing her concern, Xie Chen stopped being angry and said softly, "I'm fine, Tingyue, don't worry."
Pei Tingyue pretended to blow it for him.
Xie Chen was completely healed.
After the two of them had their meal, they had nothing to do, so they teased Xiao Si in the warm room.
There were still several hours before the first birthday banquet. Pei Tingyue suggested, "The crabapple trees in the back hall of Chengming Palace are in bloom. The maids said they are so beautiful. I don't have time to go and see them. Your Majesty, please accompany me."
Xie Chen nodded: "Okay."
He didn't want to bring Xiao Si with him and wanted to have some time alone with his wife.
But Pei Tingyue still brought it.
It’s not that she can’t leave her child, but she wants Xiao Si to be in the painting.
After the painting was completed, it was sent to the northern border to be shown to the major general.
The Major General will definitely be pleased to see Xiao Si grow up this big.
The northern border is really too far away.
Moreover, the place is desolate and windy, with strong sandstorms that can blow for months at a time, making it difficult to send a letter.
So after all this time, Pei Tingyue only received one message from the Northern Frontier.
Three pages of eloquent writing, and... two teeth.
The teeth are clumpy.
It is said that the tent was blown open and yellow sand came in. The sand entered Tuantuan's bowl. No one noticed it, so Tuantuan ate and his teeth fell out.
In the letter, the major general expressed his apologies to the dog and said that he had re-made its teeth with gold ones, which looked very impressive.
Pei Tingyue wanted to laugh when she saw the content of the letter. After laughing for a while, she realized that her face was cold and she was actually crying.
I miss her, but I also feel happy for her.
Such a free and unrestrained person is a true young general.
Pei Tingyue had written her a reply, but she didn't know whether she received it or not.
Today is Xiao Si’s fourth birthday, so naturally I have to send her something, otherwise I would be letting her down as my “mother”.
The palace painter arrived soon.
Under the bright red sky, I drew a picture of Xiao Si standing on a stone bench, I drew a picture of Pei Tingyue holding Xiao Si, and there was another picture of a family of three in a pavilion.
They all look very happy.
Pei Tingyue was satisfied, but Xie Chen was not.
He pulled Pei Tingyue to sit under a tree and asked the painter to draw a picture for them alone.
It turns out beautifully when drawn.
Under the crabapple blossoms, in the rain of petals, a noble and cold man sits in the arms of an unparalleled beautiful woman. The two look at each other and smile, with endless affection in their hearts.
