Extra: Little Daddy, I want to go home!
More than a month has passed since the Wanglongtai Heavenly Worship Service.
During this month, Xie Shuangbai and Rong Ye were busy every day.
They have to clean up the mess left behind by the late Emperor Rongyu.
In the harem, Concubine Li Shu went crazy because of her son's sudden death.
Once, the palace maids failed to keep an eye on her, allowing her to escape and run into Rong Chi who was strolling in the garden.
She ran over excitedly, hugged Rong Chi and cried without letting go, shouting Rong Chi's son, which scared Rong Chi so much that he stood there and dared not move.
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby were so frightened by this scene that they froze in place, not knowing what to do.
It was Rong Chi's personal eunuch who quickly asked a little servant to run and call Xie Shuangbai.
After Xie Shuangbai heard this, he hurried over with his men. Rong Chi saw him and cried, "Little Daddy, Little Daddy, save Chi'er!"
Xie Shuangbai felt heartbroken when he saw him crying miserably.
When Rong Yi saw this, he immediately rushed forward and pulled Concubine Li Shu away.
The maids and eunuchs in Concubine Li's palace rushed over, fell to their knees in fear, and shouted, "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Xie Shuangbai looked at the crazy woman on the ground and felt sorry for her. After all, she was also a victim.
She looked at Rong Chi crying sadly and shouted, "Tuan'er, don't you recognize your mother? Your mother misses you so much, my Tuan'er!"
Concubine Li Shu cried heart-wrenchingly, and the eunuchs and palace maids kneeling beside her could not bear to watch.
Xie Shuangbai sighed and ordered, "Take Concubine Li Shu away and keep her under close watch. Don't neglect her."
"Yes." The palace maids and eunuchs who took care of Concubine Li Shu hurriedly carried her back.
Concubine Li Shu looked at the palace maids who were trying to separate her and Rong Chi, and struggled like crazy.
In the end, Rong Yi knocked Concubine Li unconscious, and the palace maids and eunuchs beside her took her back.
Xie Shuangbai hugged Rong Chi. Rong Chi looked at Concubine Li Shu being taken away, hugged Xie Shuangbai tightly, and rubbed his neck.
"Little Daddy, who is that man? Why is he holding me and calling me son?"
Xie Shuangbai paused. If some things are not explained clearly, children will have wild thoughts. It is better to explain them clearly. Don't underestimate children's understanding ability.
He explained, "Do you remember you had a little cousin? He was two years younger than you. He got into trouble some time ago and is gone. The woman just now was his mother.
You two brothers look a bit alike, and she mistook you for him."
Rong Chi leaned in Xie Shuangbai's arms and thought: "Little Daddy is so pitiful!"
Xie Shuangbai pinched his soft little face: "Yes, so Chi'er, don't blame her, okay?"
"Little Daddy Chi'er wasn't angry with her. I was just, just scared, and she didn't hurt me."
"Then let's not tell your dad, okay?"
"Well, Chi'er won't tell Daddy."
Although the two said they would not tell Rongye, there were no secrets in the palace.
Rong Ye returned to Ronghua Palace immediately after the court session. Before he even had time to change his clothes, he asked, "Shuangshuang, I heard that Concubine Li Shu almost hurt Chi'er today?"
Xie Shuangbai took his clothes and put them on the rack. "I told you not to tell you, but they told you again."
"What secrets are there in the palace?" He hugged Xie Shuangbai and asked, "What's going on?"
Rong Ye remained silent for a long time after listening to this. Xie Shuangbai leaned in his arms and said softly, "I think it would be better to dismiss all of Rong Yu's concubines!"
Rong Ye nodded: "That's what I was thinking. It's so chaotic and chaotic. It would be better to get rid of them and have some peace and quiet."
The next morning at court, Rong Ye issued an edict.
When Concubine Li Shu's family heard the emperor's decree, they burst into tears of gratitude.
They never thought that the concubines who entered the palace could return home. This is really the emperor's great grace!
At noon, Concubine Li Shu's family met her at the corner gate of the palace.
She no longer recognizes people. Whenever she sees someone, she asks, "Have you seen my son?"
When Li's mother saw her crazy daughter, she cried sadly.
A good person has become like this after entering the palace. She originally had the best chance of becoming the queen, but unexpectedly...
What a cruel fate!
Nanny Chang felt very uncomfortable watching the empress dowager becoming increasingly thin. After breakfast today, she reported to the empress dowager:
"The Empress Dowager Li Shufei's family took her away at noon.
The Emperor issued an edict this morning, stating that all the concubines in the former Empress's palace can return home on their own."
The Queen Mother clutched her Buddhist beads and said after a while, "It's better to go back. This harem is not a place for people to stay!"
Nanny Chang paused while pouring tea, put down the teacup and stepped back.
The Queen Mother suddenly said, "It seems that it is time for an old woman like me to move on."
Nanny Chang exclaimed in surprise, "The Empress Dowager!"
The Queen Mother shook her head, "No need to persuade me anymore, I have figured it out.
Yu'er is gone, Tuan'er is gone too, and this palace is ultimately no longer in my thoughts."
Nanny Chang said, "Empress Dowager, the Emperor is still here, the Crown Prince is still here, how could you not have any thoughts?"
"Don't force a melon that's not sweet. I know deep down that the second son hates me, and Chi'er doesn't even feel close to me, his grandmother. I, an old woman, will spend the rest of my life with the Buddha!"
"My Lady, no matter where you go, I will follow you!"
The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Chang and was also deeply moved, "Chang Ling, at the end of the day, it's still you!"
Nanny Chang wiped her tears and asked, "Madam, where are you going?"
"The palace is not far from Lingshan Temple, so let's go there!"
Matron Chang asked, "When are we going to leave so I can prepare in advance?"
The Queen Mother turned her rosary beads and said, "Just one or two days."
Xie Shuangbai had just cooked some sweet soup in the small kitchen, and when he entered the house he saw Rong Ye with a dark face.
He put down the sweet soup, hugged him, and asked softly, "Who offended you?"
Rong Ye threw the memorial in his hand away.
Xie Shuangbai picked it up and took a look.
"The Empress Dowager is going to the palace?"
Xie Shuangbai instantly understood what Rong Ye was angry about. He hugged him and comforted him, "Don't you still have Chi'er and I by your side? Don't be angry, let's not be angry!"
Rong Ye leaned in Xie Shuangbai's arms, feeling aggrieved like a child.
"She just doesn't like me. She only likes the boss. Now that the boss is gone, this place has no meaning to her!"
Xie Shuangbai sighed. Rong Ye and the Queen Mother just had different personalities.
Rong Ye is a very reserved person. He obviously cares but doesn't say it.
The Queen Mother is a person with a strong desire for control and a strong personality.
She treated Rongye so badly before, and now she is asked to swallow her pride, which makes things very awkward between the two of them.
The Queen Mother's departure from the palace may not be a bad thing; perhaps it can preserve a little bit of the mother-son relationship.
"Daddy, little daddy!"
Xie Shuangbai stepped out of Rongye's arms and saw Rong Chi running over. He smiled and said, "Chi'er, why are you here?"
Rong Chi frowned like Rong Ye, "Little Daddy, I don't like the red house. It's so big here, and there's no one to play with me! When are we going home?"
Xie Shuangbai held him in his arms, "Baby, don't you like it here? Didn't you tell your little daddy that you like it here?"
Rong Chi folded his hands, "But there is no playground here, no Brother Yibao, and no children to play with me.
And everywhere I go, a lot of people follow me, and I don’t like it!”
He blinked his big eyes and asked, "Daddy, when are we going home? I want to go home!"
Xie Shuangbai kissed his little face: "This will be our home from now on!"
Rong Chi stared with wide eyes and asked in confusion: "Ah? The red house is my home? What about our previous home? I liked our previous home better!"
Xie Shuangbai said: "Wherever Daddy and I are with you, that is our home.
If you like playgrounds, we can bring them in. If you want children to play with you, we can find those children to play with you.
It doesn't matter where we are, what matters is that we are together, and that's home, you know?"
Rong Chi shook his head, not quite understanding, then nodded. He thought for a moment and said:
"Chi'er understands. As long as Daddy and Little Daddy are with Chi'er, that's home for Chi'er!"
Xie Shuangbai touched his little head and said, "Chi'er is so smart!"
