Father and son meet
Chapter 3: Father and Son Meet
Turning over the screen and entering the inner room, I saw a white ball sitting upright on the bed, with mist in its big eyes and its little mouth turned down.
"Dad, you still remembered to come back to see Hengheng. Hengheng didn't even let Mother Wang in."
Ouch, this made Chu Huaibei heartbroken. He quickly took off his robe that was wet with snow and threw it on the ground. He stepped forward and put the dumpling into his chest with his left hand, and words of apology came out of his mouth like wheels.
"Daddy's little darling, it's Daddy's fault. I was too playful. I won't do it again..."
Sun Mingsi picked up his outer robe on the ground and hung it on the hanger next to him. By the way, he also took off his soaked white fox outer robe.
Turning around and watching Chu Huaibei apologize to the child with a serious face and promise a one-stop service, it seems that she is very skilled in this matter...
Chu Huaibei comforted the child, held the child and sat on the small couch, waving for Sun Mingsi to sit over.
"Hengheng, guess who this is?"
As he said this, he placed the child on the lap of Sun Mingsi, who had just sat down, and stood up to get a bronze mirror from the dressing table.
Sun Mingsi helplessly hugged the child's waist, staring at the child with wide eyes. The more he looked at the child, the more familiar he felt. If his subordinate Jin Yi was present, he would definitely be shocked. This child looked exactly like Sun Mingsi when he was a child!
Chu Huaibei held the mirror in front of them.
"Hengheng, look, do you two look alike?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yiheng and Sun Mingsi stared at the two faces, one big and one small, in the bronze mirror at the same time. The more Sun Mingsi looked, the more dazed he became. His eyes gradually became red and misty, and he burst into tears before he could say a word.
Chu Huaibei was startled, and he put the mirror aside and walked forward to hug the person.
"Huzhi, Huzhi, why are you crying? Aren't you happy? This is your son. Look how much he looks like you!"
"Hengheng, this is you...your mother. If you shout, she will start crying. Oh, oh, what should I do?"
Chu Huaibei was flustered and at a loss. In her opinion, having a son who looked like her should be a happy thing, so why did she burst into tears here?
Little Yiheng turned around and stood up, his eyes level with his unfamiliar mother. He held Sun Mingsi's head and looked at it seriously. His little hands even pulled his sleeves to gently wipe away his tears, but no matter how hard he tried, the tears would never disappear. They were like pearls that had fallen off a string and could not be picked up again.
"Dad, you found Mom. She's as pretty as Hengheng!"
Sun Mingsi gently buried his head in the child's arms and held the child tightly with both hands.
He had a glimmer of expectation when he heard that there was a young master in the Zhenbei Palace two years ago.
People said that the concubine picked it up on the road, but only he knew that it might be the son of the Prince of Zhenbei.
When Jin San came to see him that day, he did not tell him what happened that night. He just said that he had been drugged and was fine now. The investigation had been concluded and he should leave the place quickly.
Now that his previous vague expectation has become a reality, Sun Mingsi's heart was pounding so much that he couldn't speak for a while.
He had originally only wanted to see her outside the mansion, as this was the closest he could get to her. Then, with their sudden reunion, he was overwhelmed with joy at the realization that she hadn't forgotten him. And the current situation gave him renewed hope for life.
The original plan was suspended, but Jin Wu continued to look for the antidote. Even a little bit of hope was good.
Feeling the gentle pat on his back, just like the way to coax a child, Sun Mingsi's mouth curled up, calmed down his excitement, wiped all the tears on his son's little chest, raised his head to look at his son carefully, and kissed his little face.
"Well, Hengheng, I am your mother. I will always be at home with you from now on."
"Okay~" The tender little mouth pressed against the fair face and gave a heavy kiss.
"Bo~"
Chu Huaibei was so jealous that he gave him a big kiss on the other side of his face.
Sun Mingsi's ears gradually turned red and started bleeding.
"How can you do this in front of your children..."
Chu Huaibei showed his big white teeth and smiled like a cat stealing some meat.
"Hengheng, is your father back?"
Uncle Deng's voice came from outside the door. It seemed that Chu Huaibei knew that she had run out for some fresh air. He clicked his tongue.
"Uncle Deng, I'm back. Do you want to give me acupuncture again?"
"You're smart and didn't stay outside for too long."
As he was speaking, Deng Ran came in carrying a medicine box.
"This... Hengheng's father?"
When he saw the person on the small couch, Deng Ran reacted instantly, after all, the child looked so much like him.
Before, he heard Aunt Wen say that Hengheng didn't look like the prince. As a doctor, he felt that there was a little resemblance between his eyebrows and eyes. Now looking at him, oh wow, it was just as Aunt Wen said, this child looked exactly like his father.
"Yeah, Uncle Deng, isn't Hengheng's dad good-looking? Hehe, he looks just like our Hengheng!"
While Chu Huaibei was chatting, he undressed and lay down on the bed waiting for the acupuncture.
"It's good to find her. The Concubine will be relieved. Let's spread the word that the palace has a good concubine. Let those who are eager to enter the palace think twice."
Silver needles were flying in Deng Ran's hands.
"Okay, after you finish the injection, I'll take them to see their mother."
Chu Huaibei pondered the complicated connections among the aristocratic families in the Northern Territory, and none of them would be suitable for a marriage. She had originally considered finding a merchant family, but after much searching, she found no one she could trust without reservation. Furthermore, a child from a wealthy family wouldn't be able to handle important responsibilities, so her marriage had been delayed until now. Now, there was finally a solution.
"Uncle Deng, how is Huaibei's injury? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Please let me know. Thank you very much."
Sun Mingsi waited for them to finish talking, paused, and asked.
"She's not allowed to bathe, only wipe herself. The wound on her leg opened up again today. Try to keep her indoors as much as possible and out of the wind."
Deng Ran stopped, rolled up his trouser legs and re-applied medicine and bandaged her wound.
"besides······"
Deng Ran paused for a moment.
"For the next month, you are not allowed to have sex. She has injured her lungs and needs to rest. Don't listen to her nonsense that she is already well. I will tell you when she is fully recovered."
In an instant, all the skin of Sun Mingshi Teng exposed outside his clothes turned red, like a cooked shrimp. Even holding Hengheng felt like a hot potato. He wanted to just leave him alone and go out to find a deserted place to get some fresh air and cool down.
"Okay, Uncle Deng, I understand."
He replied pretending to be calm.
"Uncle Deng, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Don't worry, I cherish my life very much and will definitely behave myself."
Chu Huaibei looked at Sun Mingsi's embarrassment and quickly changed the subject. He was secretly impressed by the beauty's shyness, which made her even more attractive.
"Your Majesty, you'd better keep your word!"
Deng Ran pulled out the last silver needle and slowly packed up the medicine box.
"Keep lying down for a while. I'll make you some medicine now. After you finish the medicine, I'll go find the Toffee."
After packing up, he left a message and went out to boil medicine.
Chu Huaibei put on his clothes, leaned against the folded bedding, and stared at people with bright eyes.
How could there be such a handsome man, with such shiny black hair, not in any bun, just tied loosely behind his back.
Her eyebrows were naturally smoky and willowy, each one perfectly shaped. Her eyes were large and bright, and even the folds of her upper eyelids looked as if they had been meticulously sculpted by an artist. The corners of her eyes were tinged with pink, and her gaze was so vivid that it was impossible to look away.
His long eyelashes are naturally curled, thick and dense, with built-in eyeliner. All the false eyelashes, mascara and eyeliner in his previous life are out of date. Tsk, how good-looking his parents must be to give birth to such a beautiful person!
I really can't even feel jealous when I look like this, I can just admire her. Hehe, now, mine, hehe...
Chu Huaibei was secretly happy. His son's chubby face was getting closer and closer to him. Sun Mingsi sat down on the bed holding the child.
"Don't you have anything to ask?"
His drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, with a hint of uneasiness.
"You're going to hurt me and my family?"
Chu Huaibei asked softly.
"That's definitely not the case!"
Sun Mingsi answered without hesitation.
"That's good, as for the rest, you can tell me when you want to. It's not too late. Everyone has some secrets."
Chu Huaibei answered nonchalantly that there was no such person in the original novel she had read, which meant that he was just a passerby who had nothing to do with life and death. Moreover, she had checked twice and found that this person had no internal strength in his body, and was just an ordinary person with low combat power.
There should be some money at home. That white fox robe is not cheap. Besides, Uncle Deng is an expert in both medicine and poison. If there is anything, it is only a matter of time before he finds out.
There was another reason why she believed him. There had never been a rumor circulating in the streets that she was a woman, which meant that he had not told anyone. If someone was interested, they could make a big deal out of it, or even worse, they could make the military power in the North fall into someone else's hands.
"My name is Shi Ming, and my courtesy name is Huzhi. You can just call me Huzhi. Both my parents are dead, and now there are only you and your child."
Sun Mingsi spoke slowly, his slender white hands gently stroking the child's little bun, his expression trying hard to hide sadness.
"That's just two people. As long as you are willing, my whole family will be your relatives."
Chu Huaibei sat up, leaned over and put his arms around Sun Mingsi, patting and stroking his thin back with his hands, the same movements he made when he coaxed Hengheng to sleep.
"Hmm~"
Sun Mingsi leaned his head gently on Chu Huaibei's shoulder and spoke softly after a long time.
A reassuring silence permeated the room. Yiheng, precociously intelligent, remained silent, even though sweat broke out on his forehead from being squeezed between them. That is, until Uncle Deng knocked on the door and came in.
"Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly."
Sun Mingsi immediately pushed Chu Huaibei when she heard the sound, picked up the child, and turned around to sit back on the small couch opposite. Chu Huaibei had no choice but to lie on the bed in the position he was pushed, pouting his lips and making a kissing gesture. In return, the beauty glared.
Chu Huaibei took the medicine bowl from Uncle Deng and drank it in one gulp. His facial features wrinkled together due to the bitter taste of the medicine, and his expression instantly lost control.
"Uncle Deng, why is this bowl of medicine different from usual? It's too bitter."
"You're different today, too. You went out for a drive. What's wrong?"
Deng Ran took the medicine bowl and said disapprovingly.
"Uh, no problem, I don't dare to have any questions."
Chu Huaibei immediately gave in. She wasn't afraid of pain or fatigue, but she was afraid of bitter things, just like how she never ate bitter melon in her previous life. When seeing a Chinese doctor who could give her acupuncture, she would try not to take medicine.
Why bother? Life is already bitter, and it is absolutely unacceptable to carry bitterness in your mouth.
Little Yiheng patted his mother's arms, slid down, ran to his own little machine, took out a pickled plum, turned around and went to the bed to stuff the plum into his father's mouth.
"Dad, it won't be bitter after you eat it."
"Oh, oh, my Hengheng is so good, daddy, give me a kiss."
Chu Huaibei never misses any opportunity to kiss the child's little face.
"Okay, go to Toffee."
Deng Ran looked at the injury to his eyes and started to tell the man to get back to his business.
"Hey, Uncle Deng, I'll go right away, right away."
While replying to Deng Ran, he asked Sun Mingsi to hold the child, as there was snow outside and it was inconvenient for the child to walk by himself.
"Huzhi, hold Hengheng. Wait for me to get a clean robe to put on you."
She chose the thickest piece of clothing in the closet and put it on the father and son. She also grabbed a piece of clothing for herself. After getting dressed, she walked towards her mother's yard in the backyard.
