Chapter 823 Red Coral Bracelet
The next day, Tong Yuhua's coffin was sent back to Jinling.
The Si family had already received the news, and someone came to pick them up. They took the water route. Although Nan Yan's body had not fully recovered, she still insisted on going to the door and carefully instructed the escorts to make sure to send her grandmother's coffin back to Jinling safely.
When she saw the group of people slowly leaving, she felt dizzy again.
Fortunately, Zhu Feng, who was beside her, protected her.
"Are you okay?"
Nan Yan looked up at him and shook her head gently: "I'm fine."
The double blow of mental and physical suffering made her look much more haggard. Although a long talk with Zhu Feng prevented her from completely falling into sadness, it would take time to completely extricate herself from that kind of loss.
Fortunately, I have a husband who can comfort me.
besides--
"Yeah."
A childish voice sounded in her ears. Nan Yan turned her head and saw Princess Anping in Aunt Tongyun's arms, yawning with her mouth wide open.
Like a little kitten.
As soon as he saw her, Nan Yan felt as if a fresh breeze blew into his heart, and the haze lingering in his heart was blown away a lot.
When Zhu Feng heard the voice, he also walked over with a smile.
"Why are you yawning again at this time? Didn't you sleep well?"
Aunt Tongyun said, "Your Majesty, the princess cried most of the night last night."
"Oh? What happened?"
"Just won't sleep."
"I slept so well during the day."
Everyone smiled bitterly. In fact, this is what often happens to children, they fall asleep upside down.
He is so sleepy during the day that he becomes full of energy at night and cries loudly, disturbing everyone's sleep.
Nan Yan tapped her nose and said, "It's really annoying."
Zhu Feng also smiled. Just then a gust of wind blew, making it a bit cold. He said softly, "It's cold outside. Let's go back first."
"Um."
Nan Yan took the swaddling clothes from Aunt Tongyun and held the baby in her arms. Zhu Feng stayed by her side, one hand protecting her from behind. Then the group turned around and walked back.
Back at Yishou Hall, the room was warm. Nan Yan unwrapped the swaddling clothes and put the child back into the cradle.
In fact, she didn't have to do these things herself and let Aunt Tongyun and the nanny do it, but Nan Yan still insisted on holding the baby when she could and accompanying the baby when she could.
Zhu Feng knew that there was still a void in her heart.
I would rather let her be busy and immersed in the world of having children than let her be idle and think about the tragedy of losing a child.
After Princess Anping was put back into the cradle, she yawned and was ready to sleep again.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "We can't let her sleep any longer. If she continues to sleep, she'll make so much noise that no one can sleep at night."
So, he reached out and fiddled with her little hand.
Feeling harassed, Princess Anping pouted and slowly opened her eyes.
This was the first time she opened her eyes.
Before, I could only see her swollen eyes, which were two long slits. I felt that her eyes would be very big after opening them. Now, I saw that they were indeed a pair of big eyes, clear and bright. When I looked at them, it was as if I could see through people's hearts at once.
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, look, she has opened her eyes."
"Yes, I saw it."
Zhu Feng also sat beside the cradle, looking down at the little princess.
His mouth was full of smiles. I don’t know if it was because he had been smiling a lot these past two days while accompanying the children, but he had a new laugh line on his face.
Originally, he had a very resolute face and hard contours, but the extra laugh lines made him look a lot softer.
Even the hostility in his eyes dissipated a lot.
Looking at my daughter in the cradle, her eyes are big and watery, her nose is straight and delicate, and her little mouth is red.
In the future, she will definitely be a beauty.
He raised his head, looked at Nan Yan, and said softly, "Like you."
Nan Yan laughed and said, "Who said that? Everyone says that daughters look like their fathers, and sons will—"
As soon as I said this, the thorn in my heart was pricked again.
Both of their expressions froze slightly. Nan Yan pursed her lips, swallowed the rest of her words, lowered her head, and looked quietly at the little princess in the cradle.
Zhu Feng looked at her for a while, then reached out and gently stroked her face.
"Don't think about it."
"Um."
Every time, whenever she unconsciously mentioned the child, Zhu Feng would tell her this, and she would try her best to calm herself down, although she didn't know when the pain in her heart would go away.
But at this time, the little princess yawned loudly again, and it seemed that she was going to sleep again.
Zhu Feng said: "How about letting her sleep?"
"This won't work."
Nan Yan's scalp felt numb again.
Thinking of the loud crying in Yishou Hall at night, Zhu Feng was obviously unable to sleep because of the noise, but now when he saw that the little princess was sleepy, he softened his heart again.
Sure enough, the daughter cannot be taken care of by her father.
She simply picked up the little princess, shook her gently twice, and said softly: "You are not allowed to sleep, little lazy boy. If you sleep, no one else can sleep at night."
The child was shaken twice by her and couldn't sleep, feeling aggrieved.
Her mouth pursed and she was about to cry.
Aunt Tongyun and the others watched from the side, all smiling bitterly, and whispered, "Your Highness, be careful, the princess is about to cry again."
At this moment, Zhu Feng suddenly remembered something and turned back to Ye Zheng and said, "Bring that thing to me."
When Ye Zheng heard this, he ran out in a hurry.
Nan Yan asked, "What?"
"You'll find out in a moment."
Mysterious.
After a while, Ye Zheng came back with a small brocade box in his hand. Zhu Feng took it, opened it, and took out a small bracelet from it.
It is a very delicately woven black thread with a bright red coral bead strung on it.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide: "This is——"
Zhu Feng said, "I asked them to make a bracelet with the one they found, and give it to the child."
Nan Yan glanced at him.
A hint of smile appeared in his eyes.
She held the little princess in her arms and came in front of Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng's big hands were exceptionally deft, and he carefully tied the bracelet around the princess's chubby wrist.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zheng next to him showed a "kind" smile on his face.
Come to think of it, the red coral bracelet has a really unfortunate fate.
At first, Zhu Feng used roundabout means to let him take it and give it to the female official of Shangbao. After something happened, the female official of Shangbao returned it to him. Zhu Feng got furious again, so he had to keep it.
After much difficulty, I gave it to the Imperial Concubine a while ago, but unfortunately, the Imperial Concubine was kidnapped again.
This bracelet became the only clue to find her.
Unfortunately, only one red coral bead was found.
Now, it has been made into a bracelet and tied around the wrist of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Finally, it has a beginning and an end.
