Chapter 494: Helping in times of need is the most precious
Concubine Rou was so happy at the moment that she didn't have time to blame these things.
She looked Ye Hanyi up and down, and hurriedly pulled him to sit down.
"Did you have a smooth journey? Are your parents in good health? Are your grandparents still healthy?"
Ye Hanyi answered each question seriously. "My father was injured last time and he recovered for a while. He's fully recovered now. My mother is also very nice, but she likes to nag. During the time when my father was recovering from his injury, my ears were almost covered with calluses from her nagging."
"Grandfather has always been in good health. This time, he ran faster than anyone else. He didn't say it, but I know he was anxious to see you, Aunt. Grandmother missed you too, but she's never been far away, so it's inconvenient for her to travel, so she couldn't come with us."
When Concubine Rou heard her words, her eyes couldn't help but feel hot and a surge of emotions surged in her heart.
She turned her head away and quietly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
"I miss them too, even in my dreams."
Ye Hanyi looked at Concubine Rou, with a feeling of sadness and melancholy in his eyes.
"My grandfather didn't say anything about my entry into the palace today, but he was actually envious. He also wanted to enter the palace to see you, but it wasn't logical."
Concubine Rou thought of the scene when she was a child, sitting on her father's shoulders and playing. Her father, who was always serious, was always gentle and loving in front of her.
He is a very good father.
The only thing he did against his own will was sending her to the palace.
At first, Concubine Rou had resented him, but as time passed, Concubine Rou gradually understood her father's trade-offs and helplessness, which were compromises and concessions that had to be made under the imperial power.
Concubine Rou suppressed her thoughts and said, "Tomorrow I will ask the Emperor for a favor and allow my father to enter the palace to meet him. The Emperor will definitely agree."
Emperor Defeng had previously misunderstood the Diannan Prefecture, so he would definitely agree to this matter as a token of grace.
Concubine Rou is 90% sure.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hanyi felt happy.
Concubine Rou asked about Lu Zhiran's condition again, and Ye Hanyi answered truthfully, "She looks fine, but it's snowing lately and the ground is slippery, so it's inconvenient for her to come into the palace to pay her respects to you."
"I understand. Taking care of the baby is the most important thing right now."
Concubine Rou is not the kind of evil mother-in-law who insists her pregnant daughter-in-law set rules in front of her.
Concubine Rou asked about Ge Xubai again.
She had heard about this from Lu Zhiran, and she also knew that her father came to Beijing to report on his work partly because of Ge Xubai.
Since Ye Hanyi is going to marry this man, Concubine Rou will naturally pay more attention to him.
Ye Hanyi quietly told Ge Xubai that he had sent his personal soldiers to Diannan Prefecture to protect her.
"At that time, everyone wanted to protect themselves and stay away from Diannan Prefecture, but he was willing to send people to protect me. I think he is a reliable person."
If we say that at the beginning Ye Hanyi was only attracted to Ge Xubai because of his beauty, and later in their correspondence, she only had vague feelings for him, but after this incident, Ye Hanyi's feelings towards him changed, and she inexplicably felt a little nervous about the upcoming "meeting".
She was worried that Ge Xubai would be bullied by his grandfather.
After hearing the inside story, Concubine Rou began to feel somewhat favorable towards Ge Xubai.
"It is truly a blessing to help someone in need. He is indeed quite responsible."
Ye Hanyi added, "He is General Gu's only disciple. He was personally taught by General Gu, so his character is naturally good."
When Concubine Rou heard the name, a smile appeared in her eyes.
"The disciples he taught are indeed not bad."
Ye Hanyi looked at her quietly, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't dare to.
Concubine Rou reached out and poked her.
"Little brat, put away your messy curiosity and don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
Ye Hanyi touched his forehead and chuckled.
"I didn't ask anything."
Concubine Rou glared at her, "I can see through your little tricks at a glance."
Ye Hanyi stuck out her tongue.
Concubine Rou said sternly, "That Ge Xubai is a reliable person, which is naturally a good thing. But he is far away in Xiping, and it will be difficult to transfer him. If you really get married to him, you will have to live in Xiping for a long time in the future. Xiping is a long way from southern Yunnan. Have you really thought it through?"
Ye Hanyi had thought about this a long time ago. "No matter how far Xiping and southern Yunnan are, I can go back anytime I want. Besides, I also want to visit places outside of southern Yunnan."
Concubine Rou was stunned, and a complicated look appeared in her eyes.
"Yes, you are different from me. You are free."
Unlike her, who is trapped in this deep palace and has no control over her own life.
Ye Hanyi saw the sadness in Concubine Rou's eyes and felt a little helpless.
I think I said something wrong just now.
Concubine Rou smiled and quickly changed the subject, so Ye Hanyi didn't say anything more.
The aunt and niece gathered together, with endless things to talk about, and there was constant laughter in Xiyan Palace.
Ye Hanyi stayed overnight in Xiyan Palace.
Emperor Defeng came to Xiyan Palace for dinner, and Ye Hanyi hurriedly bowed.
Emperor Defeng smiled kindly, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You've grown taller, little girl."
Ye Hanyi was secretly shocked when he saw the condition of Emperor Defeng.
He seemed to have aged more than ten years, even older than his grandfather, and his face was shrouded in a heavy air of death.
He was just afraid that his time was running out.
Ye Hanyi had many thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show any of them on his face.
Emperor Defeng asked about the King of Southern Yunnan again, and Ye Hanyi answered seriously, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Grandfather is in good health, but..."
She hesitated halfway through her words.
Emperor Defeng asked, "What's the matter? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to hide anything in front of me."
Ye Hanyi glanced at Concubine Rou with a melancholy look on his face.
"Grandfather misses my aunt very much. When I entered the palace yesterday, he was envious. But etiquette is such that he cannot go beyond the rules even if he misses her so much."
There was also a hint of sadness in Concubine Rou's eyes.
Emperor Defeng was moved.
"My beloved concubine has been in the palace for more than 20 years, right?"
Concubine Rou said softly, "Your Majesty, it has been twenty-five years."
Emperor Defeng sighed softly, "You and your daughter haven't seen each other for twenty-five years. It is truly my fault that you and your daughter have been separated for so long."
Concubine Rou quickly apologized, and Ye Hanyi also stood up.
"emperor……"
Emperor Defeng waved his hand and interrupted her.
"Everyone, stand up. I'm just chatting with you. There's no need to be so nervous. Father-daughter reunion is a natural human relationship. It was fine if the King of Diannan didn't come to the capital before, but now that he has arrived, I have absolutely no reason to stop you from reuniting. Tomorrow I will summon the King of Diannan to the palace, and then you and your daughter can have a good reunion."
When Concubine Rou heard this, her eyes immediately lit up with surprise, and Ye Hanyi's eyes also lit up with joy.
They both bowed to express their gratitude.
That night, Concubine Rou was so happy that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
It was Jinse who reminded her, "If your majesty doesn't get a good rest tonight, the prince will be worried tomorrow if he sees you looking unwell."
After hearing this, Concubine Rou suppressed her excitement and fell asleep.
