Ye Zhen felt that the reason she could get up early in the morning to cook breakfast was absolutely because of her strong perseverance and love for her daughter.
Therefore, Mo Rongzhan's face was not very good.
"Don't look so sullen. If Ming Yu sees it later, she will think that you don't like to see her." Ye Zhen pulled Mo Rongzhan's sleeve, reminding him to keep a gentle smile.
Mo Rongzhan took her hand. "After breakfast, go back to bed."
"Okay." Ye Zhen nodded vigorously, "Whatever you say. I have asked Ming Xi to bring Ming Yu here. In a while, you have to smile at your daughter more. You are so good-looking, so you will look better when you smile. You used to spoil your daughter so much that I was jealous of you."
"Really?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows, not believing that she would be jealous of her daughter.
How could Ye Zhen really be jealous of her daughter? Instead, she was jealous that her daughter always stuck to Mo Rongzhan at that time. "Ming Yu is our daughter. You are right to love your daughter. I will not be jealous."
"Mmm." Mo Rongzhan nodded faintly, but in his heart, he was sure that Ye Zhen would be jealous of his daughter. Even if he doted on his daughter, he had to consider her feelings.
At this time, the voice of the maid came from outside. It was Ming Xi and Ming Yu.
Along with them was San 'er.
"Father, mother." Ming Xi entered the door and saluted Mo Rongzhan and looked back at Ming Yu.
Although Ming Yu did not open her mouth to greet them, she followed Ming Xi's salute.
"Come, sit down. Today's breakfast is all made by me. It's all your favorite food." Ye Zhen was very happy to see that Ming Yu was willing to come and have breakfast with them. As for whether she called them father and mother, she felt that she could wait for the future.
Ming Xi took Ming Yu's hand and sat down. "This doesn't look like what I like, but what Ming Yu likes."
"Is there anything you don't like?" Mo Rongzhan asked faintly.
"No …" Ming Xi said. He was not picky and ate basically everything.
Mo Rongzhan's handsome face looked indifferent. "Then sit down."
"Yes." Ming Xi's tone was serious, but his eyes were still smiling. He took San 'er's hand and sat down.
Ming Yu was led by Ye Zhen to sit beside her. She looked at Ming Xi with some surprise and then at Mo Rongzhan. After four years of separation, he seemed to be a little different.
In the past, Big Brother's temperament was similar to Father Emperor's. At a young age, he would always keep a straight face and not talk or laugh. Now, he actually knew how to joke, and when he spoke, there was always a smile.
But such a Ming Xi made it even more difficult to see what he was thinking.
And Father … he seemed even colder than before.
"Ming Yu, this is shrimp dumpling." Ye Zhen picked up a dumpling for Ming Yu. "It used to be your favorite."
"Thank you." Ming Yu thanked him softly and lowered her head to focus on eating.
Ye Zhen took two more for Mo Rongzhan. "Ah Zhan, you eat too."
Ming Yu looked up and observed. It was rare to see a gentle smile on her father's face.
She remembered that although her father used to be cold, he would always smile warmly in front of her and her mother. Especially when he was with her mother, it was as if he had become another person.
"Ming Yu, do you want to go back to the palace or … stay for a few more days?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"Back to the palace." Ming Yu whispered, "I have to go to class."
Ye Zhen said, "Then I will send you back to the palace."
Ming Xi looked up and wanted to say that he would send her back, but after a glance at Ye Zhen, he lowered his head again. "Eat more."
"Yan Xiaoliu can also send me back." Ming Yu whispered.
"Your father has something to say to Yan Xiaoliu." Ye Zhen found an excuse to send Yan Xiaoliu away.
Mo Rongzhan's gray eyes were calm, without any change in emotion. He acquiesced to Yao Yao's impromptu excuse. Anyway, when Yan Xiaoliu wanted to see him last night, he did not agree.
Ming Yu did not refuse this time.
…
…
After breakfast, Ye Zhen sent Ming Yu back to the palace. In fact, she didn't have to do it herself, but in addition to wanting to spend more time with Ming Yu, she had another thing to do. Mo Rongzhan knew what she was going to do, so he did not stop her.
In the carriage, Ming Yu sat opposite Ye Zhen. She kept her head down and did not look at Ye Zhen sitting opposite her.
"Ming Yu, your father and I want to go to the State of Qi. Would you … would you like to go with us?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"What?" Ming Yu looked up sharply. Where to?
Ye Zhen said, "The State of Qi, but it may be a little dangerous. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."
"What are we going to do in the State of Qi?" Ming Yu asked. She remembered that Xiao Wang and the others had also gone to the State of Qi, but they had not returned yet.
"To find your uncle." Ye Zhen smiled. "I just want to tell you that we will go to the State of Qi in a few days. If you want, you can come with us."
Ming Yu did not agree or refuse, but answered in a low voice, "Oh."
The mother and daughter were silent again, facing each other without a word.
King Qin's Mansion was not far from the palace. They soon arrived outside the palace gate. With Ming Yu's token, they entered the palace directly.
"Are you going to see father?" Ming Yu got out of the carriage and saw Ning Xiang and Han Lu already waiting outside.
When Ning Xiang and Han Lu saw Ye Zhen, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Only then did Ye Zhen realize that the father Ming Yu was talking about was Murong Ke.
It sounded … really strange.
"I have something to say to him." Ye Zhen whispered, "He should be out of court at this time."
"He should be in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. I'll take you there." Ming Yu whispered, straightening her small body and leading the way.
Ye Zhen's mouth showed a slight smile and followed Ming Yu to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When she was still living in the palace, apart from the Yong Shou Palace, the place she visited the most was the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Mother …" When Fu De, who was guarding the door, saw her, he came down to salute but was stopped by Ye Zhen. He hurriedly changed his words, "Greetings to the Princess."
"Eunuch Fu, long time no see. How are you?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile.
Fu De's eyes reddened. "Thanks to you, this slave is fine."
"I came to see the Emperor. Eunuch Fu, please inform him of my arrival." Ye Zhen said in a low voice.
"Please wait a moment." Fu De said, then turned and went into the Palace of Heavenly Purity to report.
Ming Yu bit her lip. "I'll go back first."
Ye Zhen looked down at her daughter's delicate and lovely face. She resisted the urge to kiss her. "Good."
"Let's go." Ming Yu said to the two palace maids and left without looking back.
Fu De also came out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. "Princess, the Emperor invites you in."
Ye Zhen thanked him with a smile, but when she looked up, she saw two acquaintances coming out.
It was Song Jiong and Teng Ye.
Song Jiong gave her a salute. "You are here."
"Lord Song." Ye Zhen nodded gently, feeling that Teng Ye was still full of hostility towards her.
"The Emperor is inside, please." Song Jiong said politely, pulling Teng Ye away.
