"What are we going to do, mother?"
After leaving the city gate, Aqiong, who was leaning against the carriage window, stared at the scenery on both sides of the road with wide eyes, which he had never seen before, and asked worriedly.
In the past, whenever her father and mother took her and her brother out, they would go straight to her grandfather's house.
Today, without her father by her side, her mother took her and her brother to a strange place. She was so scared. Was her mother going to sell her and her brother away?
She looked at the official road outside where there were few pedestrians, and then looked at the vast mountains and forests in the distance. She felt that there seemed to be monsters hiding in the mountains and forests, and she felt more and more scared!
She shrank timidly to her brother's side, hiding in his arms, glancing at her mother with her little eyes, "Mother... shall we go back to the palace?"
Zhu Wuhuan was resting with her eyes closed, but when she heard her daughter's voice, she opened her eyes.
As soon as I looked over, I met my daughter's frightened gaze.
She laughed, "Little fool, why are you so scared? Could it be that your mother could run away with you and your brother and abandon your father?"
Just as she said this, she suddenly felt like teasing the child, and deliberately said slowly, "Hey, it seems possible! Your father is so annoying. Since we have escaped from the palace today, let's leave him behind and go out and roam the world together."
"..." Feng Yuxiao would not be fooled by his evil mother. He raised his head and looked helplessly at his playful mother, then turned his head to look at his sister's reaction curiously.
My younger sister is a cute little fool. She will definitely be frightened by our mother, right?
expect.
Sure enough, when the stupid Arjun heard what his mother said, his eyes widened!
Yes!
Not only is it possible that the Queen Mother would sell her and her brother, she might also run away with her and her brother and abandon her father!
She was suddenly extremely anxious, her little mouth pouting as if she was about to cry, "Father! Wuuuuuuu Father! Go back! Let's go back! I want Father!"
Seeing that his daughter was about to cry with anxiety, Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but burst out laughing!
What an idiot!
Seeing her daughter's eyes were red, she quickly smiled and hugged the little thing into her arms, pinching the little thing's cheek and said, "Aqiong, why do you love your father so much, huh? If someone didn't know, they would think you were your father's child!"
With tears in his eyes, Arjun earnestly defended himself, "No, that's not the case. My brother was born by our father, the emperor, and I was born by our mother, the empress. A man gives birth to a man, and a woman gives birth to a woman. That's how it is..."
Zhu Wuhuan laughed out loud at his daughter's ignorant theory!
What kind of idiot is this? She dares to say that there is no child in the world more stupid than her daughter. Who would disagree?
Arjun didn't realize she had made a fool of herself. Tears welled up in her eyes as she grabbed her mother's sleeve and shouted, "Let's go back to find our father, mother. We can't abandon our father. We have to have him!"
Zhu Wuhuan laughed and coaxed, "Okay, okay, mother won't abandon father! Don't cry, don't worry, be good, mother was just lying to you, look, brother didn't cry, did he? Mother was just teasing you--"
Arqiong turned his head to look at his grinning brother opposite him. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was bullied by his mother again.
She pouted, rubbed her eyes unhappily, and said fiercely, "Mother, you are so bad! I will complain to the emperor! When I get back later, I will complain to the emperor!"
Zhu Wuhuan laughed so hard, "Oh no, that won't do. Mother is scared to death. Ah Qiong, please don't complain to Father. Father will scold Mother..."
Arjun was very proud, "I will tell my father and let him spank my mother!"
She thought for a moment, then pointed at her brother and said, "Let Father take the feather duster and beat Mother like he did to my brother that day!"
"..." Feng Yuxiao, who was innocently implicated, looked at his sister dimly and rolled his eyes at her. What had he done wrong? Why did his sister bring up the past and step on him?
"Hahaha--"
Zhu Wuhuan was particularly amused by his son’s reaction, it was so funny!
She was no longer sleepy and she entertained her son and daughter along the way. The two little cuties completely dispelled the boredom of the carriage ride.
In such a joyful atmosphere, the carriage soon arrived in front of the farm where Feng Yushu and her siblings were imprisoned.
The head of the village had known for a long time that the Empress and the Crown Prince and Princess would come, and he had been waiting outside the village with his men for a long time.
At this moment, seeing the queen's procession coming from afar, he immediately led his men to kneel down and kowtow to pay their respects.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years—"
The greeting was so loud that Zhu Wuhuan in the carriage could hear it from afar.
The two children leaned over the window and looked out curiously. Their eyes swept over the adults who came to pay their respects and fell on a few of the children.
Wow, those little boys who are the same age as my uncle, are the ones that the Queen Mother told them that they should call cousins?
Well, he is worthy of being their cousin. Although I don’t know him, I feel that he looks so familiar when I see his face. Is he a relative?
As the two children looked at their cousin happily, Zhu Wuhuan also took a look through the window.
Well, those children who were secretly looking over here should be the crown prince’s legitimate son and the children of the second and fourth princes.
As for the Crown Prince's daughter Feng Yushu, the girl has grown taller and has become a graceful young lady. She is no longer a child.
The carriage stopped in front of the person who came to pay his respects.
Suqiu stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and helped her queen and two young masters get out of the carriage.
As soon as Zhu Wuhuan got off the carriage, Feng Yushu, who was kneeling in the front, raised her head and looked at him happily, her eyes full of excitement and eagerness!
She wore the phoenix hairpin that Zhu Wuhuan had given her when she left the palace. More than three years had passed, and the hairpin was still as bright as ever.
"Fifth Aunt..."
She looked at Zhu Wuhuan without blinking, called out softly, and some anxiety welled up in her eyes.
She didn't know if Fifth Aunt was still the same Fifth Aunt from back then, and whether she would still be as tolerant and caring towards her, the daughter of a sinner...
Fortunately, Zhu Wuhuan didn't make her feel uneasy for long, and warmed her heart again as he did in the past.
"Shu'er, I haven't seen you for three years. You've grown so big. Hurry up and get up."
Zhu Wuhuan walked up to Feng Yushu with his two little tails, smiled, stretched out his hand, held Feng Yushu's arm and pulled her up.
Feng Yushu stood up and looked at the still gentle Fifth Aunt. Tears welled up in her eyes with joy. "Fifth Aunt, are you here to take me back to Beijing? I thought you had forgotten me..."
Zhu Wuhuan smiled and gently tapped the little girl's forehead. "I haven't forgotten. You are the first little girl who called me Aunt Wu. How could Aunt Wu forget?"
She gently hugged the poor girl whose eyes were filled with tears and said, "Dear, Aunt Wu is here to take you home. Don't cry, dear."
When Feng Yushu heard the heartwarming words "Aunt Wu is here to take you home", she could no longer hold back her tears, and they flowed like a river bursting its dam.
