Chapter 2334 New Year's Eve 7
Xinping laughed happily.
When Zhu Feng and his companions followed a series of shallow footprints on the ground and came to Lezhizhai, this was the scene they saw.
Nan Yan originally frowned when she saw Le Zhizhai.
But the closer I got, the clearer I could hear my daughter's laughter coming from inside.
She was not worried that Ruan Mei, who was under house arrest by her, would dare to do anything to Xinping. After all, everyone in the palace knew that Princess Xinping was the emperor's favorite. If anyone hurt a hair on her head, she would have no good life.
But why is Xinping smiling so happily?
When she walked over and saw this scene, she was also stunned.
Xinping was held in Ruan Mei's arms, and she also grabbed Ruan Mei's clothes with both hands. The two of them swung on the swing, high and steady.
And Ruan Mei is still a child after all.
Although he didn't laugh as loudly as Xinping, his face was also filled with a happy smile.
Although no one knew it, this was a rare smile she had shown since she was confined for so long.
Nan Yan was surprised when she saw this scene, but suddenly she thought of something. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and when she looked at the two figures on the swing, a light flashed in her eyes.
The two people were still swinging on the swing and had no idea that the entrance of Lezhizhai was already full of people.
Zhu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, and was surprised and happy when he saw this scene.
What surprised me was that I didn’t expect Xinping to come here.
After so long, he almost forgot about the troublemaker Ruan Mei.
The good news is that nothing happened.
Moreover, Xinping is having so much fun here.
Seeing his daughter laughing and shouting with joy, he could hardly bear to stop her.
At this moment, Chen Lianxiang also followed the crowd here. When she saw Ruan Mei holding Princess Xinping as a swing, she was startled for a moment. She quickly turned around and winked at Fu'er beside her.
Fu'er understood and immediately shouted, "Danger! Put the princess down!"
This shout startled everyone around, and the two people sitting on the swing were even more shocked. Ruan Mei shuddered and almost fell off the swing.
"ah--!"
She uttered a cry of surprise.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng rushed forward and protected her.
He also held Xinping tightly in his arms.
Ruan Mei was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweats and was unable to react for a moment, but Xin Ping in her arms didn't feel the danger at all. Instead, he smiled with joy as soon as he saw Zhu Feng coming.
"Father!"
This crisp cry brought the stunned Ruan Mei back to her senses. When she looked up, she saw Zhu Feng standing nearby. She was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I—"
Zhu Feng had already picked up Xin Ping and, without paying attention to anything else, he just lowered his head and asked, "How is it? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Xinping said with a smile: "No?"
“…”
"Why is Father here?"
“…”
"I am now telling Empress Xi—oh, Empress Xi said that she is no longer Empress Xi. I am now swinging with her."
Zhu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.
Some of the dazed people also rushed forward and expressed their concern.
"Your Highness!"
"Is the princess okay?"
"Ruan Jieyu, you are so careless. How could you take the princess on a swing?"
"That is, what if you fall down?"
Hearing everyone blaming her, Ruan Mei couldn't stand this grievance. She raised her head and glared at everyone, angrily saying, "If you hadn't shouted, would I have failed?"
Chen Lianxiang immediately scolded Fu'er beside her and said angrily: "What are you shouting?"
Fu'er was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just saw that the princess was so young and shouldn't have let her go on the swing. It's too dangerous."
"Ruan Jieyu really doesn't take the princess's safety seriously."
Chen Lianxiang said, "Although you are worried about the princess, the emperor and the queen are here. Is it your turn to shout?"
"I know I was wrong."
"Get out!"
"yes……"
Fu'er stood up and retreated.
Nan Yan just looked at them coldly with the corner of her eyes without saying a word. She took two steps to Zhu Feng's side, glanced at Ruan Mei who was kneeling on the ground, then looked down at Xin Ping who was nestled in her father's arms with a smile on her face.
She asked angrily, "Why did you come here?"
Xinping said, "Mother, I came here to play for a while."
"Everyone was in Qingyin Pavilion listening to the opera. Who allowed you to run out alone?"
"Well……"
"It's getting more and more outrageous!"
“…”
"I'll make sure you don't eat two meals when I get back."
“Woo…”
Xinping was so frightened that she hid her face in Zhu Feng's arms. Zhu Feng gently patted her back with one hand. He was actually more gentle than the stern Nan Yan. He said softly, "Alright, alright, don't talk about her anymore."
“…”
"It's Chinese New Year anyway, and the child likes to play, so let her play for a while."
There are strict fathers and kind mothers in the world, but they are the only ones who are wrong.
Nan Yan shook her head helplessly.
Then she lowered her head and looked at Ruan Mei who was kneeling on the ground.
When Ruan Mei met her gaze, her eyes were still full of dissatisfaction. Nan Yan also knew that it would be difficult for a girl like this who had never suffered a big loss to truly "reflect on her mistakes".
However, even though she was so dissatisfied with herself, she had such a good time playing with Xinping just now.
This is...
Thinking of this, her eyes flickered slightly.
She said, "I almost forgot that Concubine Ruan is still under house arrest in Lezhizhai."
Although Ruan Mei was still somewhat dissatisfied with her, at this moment, she could only lower her head and say, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan looked at her for a while.
Then he smiled faintly and said, "Princess, I am sorry to bother you with your reflections by coming here."
She said she was reflecting on her mistakes, but everyone saw the swing still swinging.
They all remembered the scene just now. Although they only heard the princess's laughter, she was also laughing when she was swinging on the swing with the princess in her arms.
There is no meaning of "reflection" there.
At this moment, Chen Lianxiang came over and said softly, "Your Majesty, please stay away. The swing is still swinging and might hit the princess."
After saying that, he said softly to Xinping, "Princess, were you scared just now?"
Although she was gentle and kind, much better than Ruan Mei's cold and aggressive look, Xin Ping was unwilling to speak when he saw her. He just buried his face in Zhu Feng's arms.
Shen Lianxiang suddenly felt embarrassed.
However, after hearing what she said, someone immediately noticed the swing.
Kang Biyun sneered, "Interesting, Siguo Side is having fun now."
"Yeah, that's pretty easy."
"If everyone reflects on their mistakes like this, then what else can they reflect on?"
Ruan Mei bit her lower lip and glared at those people fiercely. She had been rampant in the harem before, speaking without restraint and offending many people, but her rank was relatively high, so no one could do anything to her.
Now, everyone is here to kick someone when he’s down.
