Chapter 228 The Prince forbids the Queen Mother to hurt her
Shen Yuanwei felt a little embarrassed when the child looked at her.
She coughed lightly, trying to maintain her image, "Actually, Mom has a minor illness, neurasthenia, and can't stand hearing children crying. She gets a headache and gets anxious when she hears them."
The two children believed it. They felt so sorry for their mother that they buried their heads in her arms to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, Mom. We are four years old. We won't cry and make a fuss like our younger brothers and sisters and disturb Mom—"
They covered their mouths and whispered, "We will be good and keep our mouths shut."
Shen Yuanwei was delighted by the two adorable children.
Xiao Lingzhao stood aside with his arms folded, staring at Shen Yuanwei with a half-smile.
Yeah?
I get nervous when I'm taking care of the children, but when I'm not taking care of the children, I'm more excited than anyone else to go watch the fun. How come I don't get nervous then?
Shen Yuanwei looked up at Xiao Lingzhao and winked at him, "Husband~"
Xiao Lingzhao laughed out loud when she called him "husband" in a tender voice.
He did not expose Shen Yuanwei's lies.
A grown man does not need to be so serious with his wife. If he is, will his wife still beg and coax him like this in the future?
Tsk, if you don't like taking care of the child, then don't do it. Anyway, they can afford a wet nurse and maids and nannies. If the mother wants to have some free time, then just hide away. As long as she is still with the child and can hug the child and give him a kiss when he is well behaved, that's enough.
Xiao Lingzhao smiled dotingly, then turned and left.
"I'll go see if Divine Doctor Song has arrived, and have someone urge the kitchen. Our sensible eldest prince is worried about his mother's hunger. If the kitchen doesn't send food, and your mother is starving, I'm afraid he will secretly scold me."
Shen Yuanwei laughed.
The two children were also amused and giggled.
After Xiao Lingzhao walked away, Shen Yuanwei whispered something to her eldest son.
"Yun'er, mother has a great mission for you, please don't tell anyone, okay?"
When Xie Chengyun heard this, he immediately sat up, his face serious and looking very reliable.
"Okay, I promise not to tell anyone."
Xie Congyuan looked at his brother and was very unhappy that his mother had left him behind.
He pulled his mother's sleeve and wanted to join in the fun, "Mom, why don't you give this task to me?"
Shen Yuanwei tapped her youngest son's forehead and said, "You are not as reliable as your brother. You will be responsible for eating, drinking and having fun. This task still depends on your brother."
Xie Congyuan covered his forehead and snorted, "Humph, you look down on me."
Xie Chengyun curled up the corners of his mouth proudly and straightened his back even more.
Shen Yuanwei pointed to a table not far away and called her youngest son, "Yuan'er, go get me a glass of water. I'm thirsty."
Xie Congyuan looked at his mother dimly, and said as he lifted the quilt, "If mom wants to have a secret conversation with brother, just tell me to stay away. I will stay away obediently. You don't have to assign a special job to me."
Shen Yuanwei burst out laughing.
How could her youngest son be so talkative?
Xie Congyuan put on his shoes and walked to the table, then turned around and asked Shen Yuanwei, "Mom, how long should I pour this glass of water?"
Without waiting for Shen Yuanwei to answer, he continued, "Forget it, you talk to your brother slowly, and I'll pour it slowly. By the time you finish talking, my glass will be full."
Shen Yuanwei laughed out loud.
Xie Chengyun was also amused by his younger brother.
His brother is so cute.
Everyone who sees it loves it.
Xie Congyuan turned his head to look at his mother whose cheeks were flushed with laughter, and smiled proudly as well.
Although he is unreliable and not as reliable as his brother, he is also very well-behaved and lovable, right?
He is not jealous of his brother, nor does he waste time on himself. He knows that his brother is a good person, and he is also a good person. He is just very good.
Shen Yuanwei glanced at the cute little fat boy with a smile, and then whispered to Yun'er about things in the palace.
"Yun'er, this matter concerns mother's life and death. From now on, mother will tell you again every day. When you return to the palace..."
Xie Chengyun pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the small task his mother gave him.
Listen and nod.
…
The Imperial Palace.
When the sky was completely bright, Xie Tianyou also returned to Empress Dowager Jiang's bedroom.
As he walked and cried, his red eyes were particularly noticeable.
Queen Mother Jiang was having breakfast when she heard the palace maid say that her son Ayou had returned. She happily stood up and prepared to go out to pick up her younger son.
Before she reached the door, her youngest son walked in silently with a pair of red rabbit eyes and appeared in front of her.
Those eyes were even more red and swollen than when they were seen at the palace gate the day before yesterday. One could tell at a glance that he had suffered a great injustice.
Queen Mother Jiang's heart tightened and she immediately stepped forward.
She held her son's arm tightly with one hand and gently touched his eyes with the other hand. She said in a trembling voice with heartache, "Ayou, why are you crying like this? Did Shen Yuanwei bully you again? You cried all the way back to the palace from their general's mansion early in the morning. Did she drive you back with cold words?"
Without waiting for Xie Tianyou to speak, Queen Mother Jiang was so angry that she trembled, waved her sleeves and cursed angrily.
"Shen Yuanwei, that bitch!"
"Upon hearing the news of her death, my son, a great prince, ran out to mourn for her. She escaped death, and my son stayed at her general's mansion for a whole day and night. But she was so heartless and sent my son back early in the morning. Does she still have a conscience?"
"Ayou, don't be afraid. Your mother will definitely make up for the injustice you have suffered!"
"We must not swallow this anger so easily!"
Xie Tianyou opened his pair of red and swollen eyes and looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.
Originally, when he got off the carriage and entered the palace, he had adjusted his mood and stopped crying. He didn't want to be laughed at or lead people to make wild speculations.
But now, when he heard that his mother cared about him and wanted to support him and stand up for him, he couldn't help but burst into tears again.
He wiped his tears hurriedly and shook his head at his mother.
"No, mother, don't go looking for trouble with Sister Yuan Wei..."
"She didn't bully me. She treated me very well. Really. In the past few years at the border, she and Brother Xiao treated me as a family member. They took me wherever they went. They were afraid that I would be bullied, so they took me with them no matter how far they went. They never thought I was a nuisance or a burden..."
"If she hadn't been so nice to me, I wouldn't have liked her so much, so mother, I don't allow you to embarrass Sister Yuan Wei, you can't."
Queen Mother Jiang patted her son's back gently.
Listening to her son sobbing on her shoulder, her heart ached and her eyes were red.
She said softly.
"Silly child, she is not really nice to you. If she really is nice to you and knows that you have deep feelings for her, she should be with you."
"But you see, she knew clearly that you were a patient, and that you couldn't lose her, but she still resolutely pushed you away and drove you away. She ruthlessly drove you, a patient, back into the darkness. Don't you feel wronged? Don't you hate her?"
"She doesn't want you anymore, why do you still like her so much, huh?"
Xie Tianyou was silent for a moment, then he slowly shook his head.
He felt that his mother was wrong.
