Chapter 3532 Does Father Dislike Me Anymore?
All the way back to Yongzhou City, no one said a word.
The stifling silence was not broken until they returned to the south courtyard gate and dismounted from their horses, and Ruoshui, Delu and others ran out of the mansion crying and shouting.
Ruoshui rushed to Nanyan with red eyes and said, "My lady, I am so worried."
Nan Yan was a little tired, and only smiled faintly: "I'm fine."
At this moment, they saw Princess Xinping, who was following behind Nan Yan and was unusually quiet. Everyone was even more shocked. Delu almost bit his tongue off and stammered, "Master, Master, Master——"
Zhu Feng said impatiently, "The princess is back. Why don't you hurry down and prepare to help her bathe and change clothes?"
Everyone came to their senses and hurriedly said, "Yes!"
So, the entire South Courtyard was in an uproar before dawn, when it should have been the quietest.
Xinping remained quiet and didn't say a word, like a frightened little rabbit, even his ears were tucked up, and he followed Nanyan timidly.
After entering the mansion, Zhu Feng looked back at the two of them and said, "You two should go down and rest first."
At this time, Nan Yan actually hoped that he could be with her.
However, with such a big battle in the north of the city last night, Li Bushan's return to Yue State obviously had a great impact. Of course, he had to deal with the big things first.
So he nodded gently: "Your Majesty should also rest more."
Zhu Feng said nothing and turned and left.
At this moment, a calm and timid voice came from behind: "Father..."
Zhu Feng stopped and looked back at her, only to see Xinping standing there with her head down. Although she had been locked up these days, Li Bushang obviously would not treat her badly, so she did not suffer much, but she was definitely aggrieved. Add to that the chaos when she was rescued before, and now her face was grimacing and her clothes were not very clean. She looked like she had suffered a great injustice.
If it were any other time, Zhu Feng would have picked up his daughter and comforted her.
But now, he just stood there. Although his eyes were still calm, he did not show the kind of doting that everyone thought. He even had a slight sense of alienation.
"What?"
Xinping's eyes were red, and she lowered her head and said nothing.
Nan Yan clearly understood the awkwardness between the father and daughter. She stepped forward and said softly, "Xin Ping, let's talk later. Your father still has important matters to attend to."
Zhu Feng also said: "Take her back."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Xinping raised her head, only able to gaze at her father's back in the faint morning light. Her lips pursed, and she looked as if she was about to cry. Nanyan, however, held her hand as they walked inside, looking back every few steps.
Although Nan Yan had experienced a lot that night, she was still a little frightened and even had many questions in her mind. However, she still had to act like a mother in front of her daughter. So, she took Xin Ping's hand and walked into the room, saying, "Do you know you're wrong this time?"
As she spoke, she had already walked into the room and sat directly on the couch because she was too tired.
As soon as I sat down, I saw Xinping standing in front of me, and suddenly he knelt down with a plop.
"you--"
Nan Yan was startled. Ruoshui and the others around her also hurried over to help her, but Nan Yan thought for a moment and waved them away. She lowered her head to look at her daughter, whose face was still a little pale but whose eyes were red like a little rabbit, and said, "What's wrong?"
Xinping cried softly, "Mom, I know I was wrong."
“…”
This is the first time.
This was the first time that this daughter, who had always been obedient but also willful and stubborn, admitted her mistake in this way.
Originally, when Nan Yan realized that she might have been trying to escape from the South Courtyard but had inadvertently fallen into someone else's trap, she was filled with hatred and wanted to catch her and beat her up, preferably until she was crippled. But now, seeing her daughter kneeling in front of her, her eyes red and her face a mess, clearly having been wronged, her heart softened immediately.
Leaning forward, he got in front of his daughter and said, "Is it wrong to go back now?"
Xinping pursed his lips: "I know."
"What's wrong?"
"I shouldn't have been so willful and ran out on my own initiative, making Mother worry."
"What else?"
"besides--?"
Xinping was also stunned for a moment. In a trance, she also felt that she must have made mistakes in other places. However, from last night until now, she had received too much information that she could never have imagined in the past. Her little brain could not digest these things at all. At this time, when she tried to think about it again, her mind felt like a mess.
She was even more sad, and said in a tearful voice: "I, I still need to think."
As he said this, he burst into tears.
Seeing her like this, Nan Yan felt distressed and wanted to laugh at an inappropriate moment. She quickly hugged her daughter to her arms and said softly, "Okay, okay, I just admitted my mistake. Why are you crying? Mother didn't scold you. Your father didn't scold you either."
Xinping burst into tears and sobbed, "Father, does your Majesty not like me anymore? Will you never talk to me again?"
Nan Yan said hurriedly: "Of course not."
"Then why is he ignoring me?"
"Besides being your father, your father is also His Majesty the Emperor. He has so many things to take care of."
“…”
"Especially last night, there was a battle in the north of the city, so he naturally had to go and make some arrangements."
"But--"
"Besides,"
Nan Yan interrupted her and said with a stern face, "If your father really didn't care about you, would he bring people to rescue you?"
These words immediately dispelled Xinping's doubts, and she immediately burst into laughter: "Yes."
Seeing her changing her expression like turning the pages of a book, Nan Yan smiled helplessly and shook her head, then said, "Okay, don't let your imagination run wild for now. Mother will take you to take a bath and wash off this bad luck."
Xin Ping said happily: "Okay!"
The mother and daughter went to the bathhouse. Fortunately, Ruoshui and the others had made preparations and had hot water ready. The two of them took a thorough bath and went to bed as soon as they came back.
It was not until noon that Zhu Feng returned from the study.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Princess Xinping lying on the bed, clean and fresh-faced. Perhaps she hadn't had a good rest these days, so she was sleeping very soundly at this moment. She didn't even hear him walking to the bedside. Her little mouth was slightly open, and a stream of shiny saliva flowed onto the pillow.
Zhu Feng smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, Nan Yan, who was sleeping beside him, suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw him, she immediately said, "Emperor——"
Before she could finish her words, Zhu Feng raised his hand, signaling her not to speak.
Nan Yan looked down and couldn't help laughing. She carefully stood up and covered her daughter with a blanket, then put on some clothes, got out of bed and walked to Zhu Feng.
"How's it outside?"
