Chapter 62062 Yan Yan Yu Fei
Chapter 62
Qi Jingyan looked at the tearful eyes of the girl in front of him, reached out and gently pressed her head back onto his lap, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Cry if you want to. It's uncomfortable to hold it in like this."
Meng Yuning wanted to cry, but after what he did to her, she couldn't cry anymore. She put her hands on the bed and sat up: "I'm fine, Your Highness."
Qi Jingyan seemed unconvinced and wiped the corner of her eye with his thumb: "If you are sad, there is no need to force a smile."
Meng Yuning wiped her eyes: "I'm really fine."
She was lying on Yi'er's lap and crying peacefully, but he insisted on moving her onto his lap...
I have to say, this guy really knows how to ruin the atmosphere.
Yi'er was young and didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Aning stopped crying, he felt relieved. He went to Aning, wiped her tears with his little hands, and kissed her on the face.
Meng Yuning hugged Yier and kissed him back, and both the big and the small smiled.
Qi Jingyan looked at this scene and laughed too.
Meng Yuning asked, "Yier, do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Yier shook his head: "Yier is not sleepy anymore."
Meng Yuning didn't want to sleep anymore, so she carried Yi'er downstairs and said, "Your Highness, it's cool now. Let's go stroll around the garden."
Qi Jingyan: "Okay."
As he spoke, he supported the bed with one hand and the wheelchair with the other, and tried to move himself to the wheelchair. Meng Yuning stopped him and said, "Your Highness, is this how you got to the bed just now?"
Qi Jingyan nodded: "Yeah."
Meng Yuning remembered Divine Doctor Tang's previous warnings and angrily slapped him on the arm. "Your Highness, can you still be obedient? Do you still want your leg to heal?"
It was the first time Yi'er had seen someone so rude to his brother, and even hit him. He blinked in fear, looked at his brother, then at An Ning, and said in a baby voice, "An Ning, Yi'er, be obedient."
Seeing that Yi'er seemed frightened, Meng Yuning touched his little hand and comforted him silently, but did not say anything.
She regretted it after beating and scolding him. Who is this man? He is the cold-blooded and ruthless Prince Shen. How could she be so rude to him?
She looked at Qi Jingyan quietly, wanting to see his reaction, and thought to herself that if he was unhappy, she would apologize immediately.
Unexpectedly, Qi Jingyan reached out and touched the place where he had just been slapped, and actually smiled, "An Ning, I will be obedient from now on. If I don't, you can hit me like this."
Meng Yuning was shocked. No, maybe this guy is addicted to being beaten?
Yi'er looked at An Ning's expression and thought she was still angry, so she reached out and patted her brother on the shoulder twice: "Yi'er hit your brother, An Ning, don't be angry."
Meng Yuning carried Yi'er and walked out: "Your Highness, wait, I'll call someone to help you."
Qi Jingyan: "Okay, I'll wait."
Meng Yuning went outside and said something to Mu Yun. Mu Yun went back into the house and soon came out pushing Qi Jingyan.
The group went to visit the garden.
Aning held Yi'er's hand and walked leisurely in front, while Mu Yun pushed Qi Jingyan and followed behind.
With the help of the craftsmen, the guard brothers have repaired the entire mansion. The craftsmen also withdrew from the mansion yesterday. There were suddenly fewer people in the mansion. Coupled with the departure of Yu Xiao and Cai Yuezhao, the huge courtyard became a little too quiet.
Meng Yuning felt a little sad when she thought about Sister Zhao's visit a few days ago, but she quickly adjusted her mood and walked with Yi'er to a mango tree. Pointing at the densely packed green mangoes hanging on it, she smiled and said, "Yier, when the mangoes are ripe, let's make mango jam and dried mangoes to eat."
Yier nodded: "Yier likes mango sauce and dried mangoes."
Meng Yuning pinched Yi'er's chubby face and said, "You haven't even tried it yet, how come you like it so much?"
Yier said seriously: "Yier likes all the dishes cooked by An Ning."
Meng Yuning laughed out loud, picked up the little girl and gave her a kiss: "Okay, then Aning, make more delicious dishes for Yi'er in the future."
The group continued to walk forward. Meng Yuning counted carefully and found that there were more than ten courtyards of various sizes in this former residence of Prince Yu Nan.
Meng Yuning thought for a moment and asked Qi Jingyan, "Your Highness, let's give these courtyards names. This will make it easier to explain."
Qi Jingyan agreed, "A Ning, come up."
As Meng Yuning walked, she thought, "How about calling the main courtyard where we live Yanfuju?"
The singing of orioles and the chirping of swallows herald the new year. Swallows leave in autumn and return in spring, symbolizing spring and vitality. I hope Qi Jingyan will be like this, and not be like in the book, always thinking about atonement with death.
Qi Jingyan's eyes lit up.
Swallows are flying, a pair of swallows on the beams, the swallows are returning, a pair of swallows are flying in the light rain...
Images of two swallows flying side by side flashed through Qi Jingyan's mind, and the corners of his lips curled up high: "Okay, let's call it Yan Fuju."
Seeing his prince smiling with a face full of amorous feelings, Mu Yun looked up at the sky.
Meng Yuning didn't notice Qi Jingyan's smile, and continued walking forward with Yi'er in her hand: "This courtyard is used as an outer study, right? Then let's call it Qingke Hall."
"No matter how many times the wind blows, I will still be strong."① I hope Qi Jingyan will be as tenacious and unyielding as bamboo and live a long life.
Qingke, bamboo? Qi Jingyan's eyes lit up again.
"Twin bamboos grow together, their hearts tied together with a long knot"②, "The bamboo branches are intertwined, and the bamboo tips are drooping, their love will last for thousands of years"③...
As Qi Jingyan passed by, the lush bamboo forests in the mountains appeared before his eyes. His eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, and his deep voice was filled with indescribable tenderness: "Qingketang is very good."
Hearing the unconcealable tenderness in his prince's tone, Mu Yun couldn't help but rub his arms with his hands.
Qi Jingyan noticed his movements and glanced at him lightly. Mu Yun quickly withdrew his arm and continued to push the wheelchair with an expressionless face.
The group walked to the big banyan tree again. Two swings, one big and one small, had been hung up at some point. Meng Yuning and Yier exclaimed and ran over hand in hand.
Meng Yuning touched the swing, feeling extremely happy: "Your Highness, when was this swing made?"
Qi Jingyan: “A few days ago.”
He asked Mu Jiu to finish it the day after An Ning mentioned it, but later her sister A Zhao moved into the mansion, and she no longer had time to come here to play.
Meng Yuning carried Yi'er to the small swing, asked him to hold on tightly, and gently pushed him to start swinging.
Yi'er held the rope tightly with both hands and laughed excitedly: "Aning, brother, Yi'er is flying."
"Fly, fly, Aning, come and fly too." Meng Yuning said with a smile, and slowly pushed Yier, then sat on the big swing beside her, touched the ground with her toes, and slowly swung, swinging higher and higher.
The feeling of flying was so good that Meng Yuning couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha~"
Yi'er also wanted to learn from Aning and swing higher on his toes, but his two short legs were too short. He kicked in the air several times but couldn't touch the ground. He could only laugh along with Aning.
Qi Jingyan's gaze fell on the face of the girl flying high. Her cheeks were slightly red and she had a bright smile. At this moment, she looked free and innocent, just like a little girl who had not yet grown out of her childishness.
He couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "Slow down."
Meng Yuning: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm really good at swinging."
She used to live in the countryside with her grandmother. There was a swing hanging under the big banyan tree in the village. She often swung there and competed with other children. She always won. If Mu Yun was not here now, she would have wanted to stand up and swing to scare Qi Jingyan.
The two played for a while before finally getting off the boat, still unsatisfied, to continue exploring the garden. Seeing the guards laying the foundation for a house not far away, Meng Yuning asked curiously, "Your Highness, why do we need to build a courtyard here?"
Qi Jingyan replied gently, "Haven't you always wanted a yard?"
Meng Yuning was surprised and delighted, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Is this built for me?"
Qi Jingyan nodded: "Yes. It's quiet here and close to the banyan tree. I thought you would like it, so I built it here."
Meng Yuning was so excited that she almost wanted to spin around in circles: "I love it so much, thank you, Your Highness."
She had suggested several times before that she wanted to live in a yard by herself, but he rejected her every time. She thought it was impossible, but she didn't expect that he actually built a yard for her.
But she was a little confused: "But, Your Highness, there are so many empty courtyards, why bother building a new one?"
Qi Jingyan: "I wonder who lived in those courtyards before. It would be better to rebuild a new one."
Meng Yuning was a little surprised. When they first moved in, Qi Jingyan moved into the main courtyard where the previous King Yu Nan lived without hesitation. She thought he didn't mind these things, but she didn't expect that he would be so particular about the courtyard given to her.
Although she has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, who wouldn't like to have a brand new yard?
Seeing Qi Jingyan always thinking about her, Meng Yuning felt a little warm in her heart. She pulled his sleeve and shook it: "Your Highness, you are so kind."
Although Qi Jingyan did not respond, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Mu Yun looked at Meng Yuning with admiration. He thought that Miss Meng's ability to manipulate people's hearts was truly amazing. With just a few words, she could make His Highness completely intoxicated, throwing away his usual calm and composed demeanor.
If the officials in the court saw that the former Crown Prince was now so obsessed with love, they would probably be so shocked that they would drop their jaws and throw away their tablets.
Qi Jingyan smiled and asked, "A Ning, why don't you give your yard a name too?"
Meng Yuning thought that she wouldn't be able to live in this courtyard for many years. She might have moved out before the two brothers returned to Beijing. She didn't want to spend too much time thinking of a name for it, lest she be reluctant to leave it later. So she just picked a name at random: "Let's call it Jingxinzhai."
Qi Jingyan was stunned. "Is there any history behind this name?" Meng Yuning said casually, "I'm a bit impetuous sometimes. I need to calm down."
Qi Jingyan was puzzled: "Where did you see that?"
Meng Yuning rolled her eyes and said confidently, "I'm greedy for money."
Qi Jingyan chuckled softly, "Profit is what people pursue, and there's nothing wrong with loving money."
Several people were talking as they walked. As they were talking, they saw Mu Feng walking quickly towards them. He stepped forward and bowed, reporting, "Your Highness, Eunuch Song is here to take his leave."
Meng Yuning was curious: "When Eunuch Song came the other day, he said he would stay for two days, so why is he leaving today?"
Mu Feng: "It is said that Eunuch Ma is ill and is anxious to return to the capital to see a doctor. Eunuch Song wants to leave with him so that he can take care of him along the way."
Meng Yuning was very curious: "Isn't Eunuch Ma always full of energy? He could go shopping all day long. How did he suddenly fall ill? What's wrong with him?"
Mu Feng shook his head: "That's not what I said."
Qi Jingyan and Mu Yun looked at each other and remembered what Eunuch Song had said a few days ago.
Qi Jingyan: "Please invite them in."
