Chapter 482 The Emperor
"Mother."
Wei Qingyan called out sweetly, hugging Lan Shu back, "Daughter misses you too."
Lan Shu wanted to cry after hearing this, but today was a reunion day, and she didn't want her tears to spoil the fun, so she tried her best to hold back her tears, let go of Wei Qingyan, and said with a smile, "Let me see, have you lost weight?"
Wei Qingyan smiled and let her look at him.
She was not as thin and listless as I had imagined. Instead, she seemed a little plumper than when she left, and her complexion was rosy, which showed that she had been well taken care of along the way.
Although Abu repeatedly told her that Qingyan was fine, as a mother, she only thought of her son as a way to comfort her. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she was truly relieved.
He only asked, "Was it very tiring on the way? How was your meal? Did you have morning sickness? How was your sleep at night? Was your little one making a fuss?"
Lan Shu asked many questions in one breath. Without waiting for Wei Qingyan's answer, she thought her daughter was now a twin and it would be hard for her to stand. She quickly asked the palace servants to bring up the sedan chair and said, "Let's talk while we walk."
Wei Qingyan smiled and said, "Mother, I will tell you about this later. Please meet Xing'er first."
Lan Shu slapped her forehead and said, "Look at my brain, I'm really confused."
He was so focused on his daughter that he neglected his future daughter-in-law who came back with her.
She followed Wei Qingyan's gaze and saw a pretty and lovely girl. A smile immediately appeared in her eyes.
When Xing'er heard Wei Qingyan's words, her ears blushed slightly as she moved forward and greeted Lan Shu. Thinking that this was the first time she met her future mother-in-law, she felt inexplicably nervous.
Lan Shu held her hand, "Xiao Xing'er, you must have come a long way, but Auntie Lan is really happy to see you.
Abu is away from home temporarily and will be back after the war. From now on, you should treat this place as your own home. If you need anything, just tell Aunt Lan. Don't be shy with her."
She was naturally happy that her son was engaged, and she wanted to call herself his mother. However, if she did that before the wedding, it would be disrespectful to the girl.
She decided to be Aunt Lan for a while, but she had been used to being spontaneous since she was a child, while her future daughter-in-law was a little princess who grew up in luxury. She was really afraid that she would be careless or negligent.
Xing'er hadn't expected the Imperial Concubine of Great Wei to be so easygoing and unassuming. She hurriedly said, "Xing'er, it's not hard. Xing'er is also happy to see you and won't be shy with you."
"That's good, that's good. Auntie Lan is a rough person. If there's anything wrong, Xing'er can talk to Auntie Lan, or talk to your sister, and we can deal with it slowly in the future."
Lan Shu looked at Xing'er with a smile. The more she looked at her, the happier she became.
What a nice girl, with clear eyes and lovely expression. No wonder Abu felt shy when talking about this girl.
If she were a man, she would be happy to marry such a girl. Now that she has such a daughter-in-law, her heart is filled with joy.
How could she not be happy? She had originally thought that her son had died in the battle, but unexpectedly he was resurrected. Now he was engaged and would be the groom soon.
For her as a mother, this was simply God's blessing to her and her child.
Thinking of this, the smile in her eyes deepened a little.
He casually returned all the bracelets on his wrists to Xing'er's hands. Then he felt that it was not enough, so he inserted a rare hairpin on Xing'er's head.
One cannot refuse a gift from an elder.
Xing'er's face became more and more red with embarrassment.
There is also such a tradition in their Pu country. If the mother-in-law is satisfied with her future daughter-in-law, she will give her a gift.
The level of satisfaction can be reflected in the value of the gift.
She had been accustomed to seeing rare treasures since she was a child, so she could naturally tell that what Lan Shu gave her was not an ordinary item.
The imperial concubine must be very satisfied with herself.
The eldest prince and the fifth prince watched from the side, feeling happy and relieved at the same time. Xing'er, the future mother-in-law, seemed easy to get along with, so they hurried forward to pay their respects.
Lan Shu chatted with the two of them for a while, saying things like "don't be so formal, treat this as your home."
The two princes were simple-minded, but not without understanding. Knowing that Wei Qingyan's family was reunited today, they took their sister and took their leave, saying that they would visit again in the future.
After all, these three people are princesses and princes of a country. It is indeed inappropriate to bring them to see the emperor rashly.
In addition, the emperor had already prepared a palace banquet to welcome distinguished guests tonight, so he agreed to the two princes' request and let them go back to rest first so that they could attend the palace banquet in the evening.
After the three people left, the mother and daughter got into the sedan chair, and Wei Qingyan answered Lan Shu's initial questions.
The two chatted all the way to the outside of the imperial study. A eunuch there had already received the news and informed the emperor.
Therefore, when Wei Qingyan got off the sedan chair, he saw the emperor waiting outside the imperial study.
only……
Wei Qingyan blinked, and blinked again.
The majestic father in the past was now holding a baby in one hand, and one of his tender white hands would pull his hair from time to time.
So much so that a few strands of his black hair, which were tied up by the jade crown, hung down on his shoulders, which looked really funny.
Wei Qingyan was already happy to see his father, and seeing this scene, he laughed out loud. He took two quick steps and was about to salute when he heard the emperor say, "No need to salute, go sit inside."
The emperor knew what he looked like now, but he had gotten used to it after a few months. What he had wanted in the first place was an ordinary life.
Who told him to please his two little kids? They like him holding them. Isn't it normal for an old father to help his wife take care of the kids?
But besides being a father, he is also an emperor, so people find it strange to see him like this now.
But after seeing it so many times, he got used to it. Didn’t he see that the palace maids around him were all calm? He thought his eldest son would be the same in the future.
Therefore, he looked very calm.
Just at this moment, the little princess Panpan's hand pulled his hanging hair again. He had no choice but to follow Panpan's force and tilted his head to look at Wei Qingyan.
Wei Qingyan wanted to help him carry Panpan away, but the emperor glanced at her belly and glared at her in feigned anger, "This is a little monkey. You are a twin now, how can you carry her?"
He was angry that his daughter ran away to Pu State while pregnant, but he also felt that he had no right to do so. If the people under him were more capable, why would his daughter have to suffer so much?
Now that she still doesn't take her pregnancy seriously and is even thinking about holding Panpan, what should she do if Panpan is not obedient and kicks her?
He took the opportunity to vent the anger that had been suppressed in his heart, but it was mostly worry and heartache, so there was no dignity or deterrence.
Seeing that Panpan was still holding the emperor's hair, Lan Shu took away the unreasonably well-behaved little son.
The emperor used one of his free hands to lightly support Wei Qingyan's waist, his head still tilted, and urged Wei Qingyan, "Come on, come on, go inside and sit down and talk."
Wei Qingyan heard the distress in the emperor's tone and quickly took his free arm, saying in a coquettish tone, "Father, I miss you so much."
The old father didn't show it on his face, but his heart had already softened into a puddle of water. His eldest son, Dabao, had always been introverted, and the fact that he could say such a thing showed that he really missed him.
It’s worth loving her.
Wei Qingyan then turned his gaze to Panpan's face.
This face is exactly the same as the face of the master when he was a child in the dream
This is her master, the fat monk.
She gently squeezed Panpan's hand and said in her heart, "Master, you will be very happy in this life."
Panpan seemed to sense something and grinned at her.
Wei Qingyan's eyes suddenly turned red. The emperor noticed her expression and thought she was just excited about returning home, so he wanted to comfort her.
But he didn't know what to say, so the last words came out were, "Although you have brothers and sisters, the position you and Abu hold in father's heart is unshakable."
Even when you grow up, get married, and have wives, your father will still love you.
Upon hearing this, Lan Shu rolled her eyes towards the sky.
It's getting more and more sensational.
Wei Qingyan burst out laughing, and the family reunited and reminisced about the past amidst the laughter.
Because she came back alone this time, the emperor had no plans to let her live outside the palace. He ordered people to clean up the Eastern Palace early, and he and Lan Shu took their two children to personally send her to the Eastern Palace.
Lan Shu checked the East Palace again and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before following the emperor back to their own bedroom.
After the twins were taken away by the wet nurse, the emperor sat on the couch, his shoulders drooping, and he sighed deeply, "Alas, I am really old."
Lan Shu was not prepared for his sudden sigh and asked, "What's wrong?"
The emperor looked at her with dim eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Lan Shu caught this familiar look and asked warily, "What do you want to do?"
