Alright! Ancestor, he really was an ancestor.
When Xuan Tianhua saw the two people standing at the entrance of the fu, his heart definitely collapsed.
Emperor Tianwu and Zhang Yuan, the two people's appearance and servant attire, no matter how one looked at it, it was awkward. He didn't know where Tianwu's clothes came from, they were a bit thin and the buttons were tightly fastened, looking very comical.
Xuan Tianhua did not go to the entrance to welcome them, only standing in the front yard. There was still some distance between them and the fu, but it was enough for them to see each other clearly.
Tianwu glared at him and roared angrily: "Why aren't you inviting the ancestor in!"
Xuan Tianhua felt a headache coming on, but he quickly waved his hand at the guards at the entrance: "Let them in!"
The guards never thought that this old man would actually obtain the right to enter Chun Palace with such a rude sentence. Also, when they looked at His Highness the Seventh Prince again, he didn't seem to be angry, what was going on? Chun Palace was really too strange recently! Strange woman, now a strange old man came, were the ancestor's words spoken casually? His Highness the Seventh Prince was a prince, then wouldn't his ancestor be …
At this moment, the guards clearly had the same thought, unconsciously looking at each other, they all saw the same message in each other's eyes. Someone first mouthed silently, "Your Majesty?"
The others nodded, in this world, other than the Emperor, who would dare to say such words to His Highness the Seventh Prince?
Therefore, they withered, what were they doing just now? They stopped the Emperor! Did they not want to live anymore? They didn't have long to live!
Everyone lowered their heads, starting to count the remaining days of their lives.
Back to Emperor Tianwu and that Zhang Yuan, when the two of them entered the courtyard, the first to welcome them were the cats and dogs of Chun Palace.
Animals didn't care who you were. In addition, these pets were extremely adorable. As soon as they saw people coming, they rushed forward happily, wagging their tails and pouncing on them!
Tianwu was first stunned, then he seemed to have reacted to something. He started to look around the front yard of the Chun Palace in shock, from the Hundred Flowers Forest to the Kingfisher circling the shoulders, from the Cats and Dogs biting the robe to the green bamboo fence. Finally, his gaze landed on the colorful gauze that was continuously swaying under the autumn wind. For some reason, his eyes suddenly became moist.
He raised his hand and wiped his face. When he put it down again, he no longer had the dignified aura from before. Instead, it was replaced by an old appearance that he was unwilling to admit, filled with reminiscence.
Zhang Yuan saw through the trick and silently took half a step back to make way for Tianwu.
Tianwu turned to the left and walked towards a piece of sky-blue gauze hanging from a bamboo fence. That gauze was not big and was long in shape, only half the length of an arm. However, it pulled Tianwu's thoughts back to over twenty years ago.
That year, he went out on patrol in plain clothes. In the prime of his middle age, he purposely got rid of his bodyguards and entered the forest alone. During this time, he accidentally entered a village. A young girl who had just reached marriageable age saw the wound on his arm that had been torn by a small animal in the forest and was very anxious. She picked herbs from the mountain and tore her own skirt to bandage him. She also pleaded with the village head for him to temporarily stay.
He was born in the imperial family and all the women he had seen were of noble birth. They didn't show their feet when they walked, they didn't show their teeth when they smiled. If there was even the slightest mistake in their words or actions, they would be reprimanded and strictly disciplined by their families.
However, the woman in the village completely refreshed his old ideas. She made him understand that when a girl rolled up her sleeves and revealed half of her white and slender wrists, she was actually very beautiful. Girls could also roll up their trousers and go into the river barefoot to catch fish. Girls could also jump up and curse people. Girls could also loudly say that they liked someone in front of everyone with a smile on their face, as if it was a matter of course. They didn't need to be shy and didn't need to be afraid of being laughed at by others.
If you agreed, you could take her hand and meet your parents, worship the mountain gods, worship the heaven and earth, and live happily together. If you didn't agree, you had to say it just as loudly. The girl wouldn't feel like she had lost face. They would still smile and wish you the best when you found the girl you loved. Then, they would smile and sing, sing, and dance. Very soon, they would forget about this episode.
He was a dragon among men, so his appearance was naturally not bad. Furthermore, he was born in the imperial family and had good martial arts and knowledge. Very soon, he became famous in the village. At a bonfire party, six girls confessed their love to him, but he only held the hand of the girl named Yun Pianpian who tore her skirt to treat his injury.
At that time, Yun Pianpian didn't know what kind of person he was, but she still married him without hesitation. The two of them lived together for a long time until an epidemic destroyed the entire village. If Tianwu hadn't taken her away in time, Yun Pianpian's life would have been lost.
The two of them left the mountain, and the imperial bodyguards came to their aid. They found the best doctor to treat them, and Yun Pianpian finally knew what kind of person her husband was.
Tianwu sank into his memories and didn't want to pull himself out for a long time. Xuan Tianhua knew that he couldn't let him continue to think like this, so he stepped forward and softly called out to him, "Imperial Father." His voice was like dust, and it was the most calming.
Tianwu came back to his senses and smiled bitterly. He reached out to touch the corner of the gauze, but he knew that it wasn't the same one.
"Your mother … is she well?" He asked Xuan Tianhua, "You just returned to the capital, so you should have seen her, right?"
Xuan Tian Hua nodded; however, he smiled bitterly and said: "When has mother ever wronged herself. Also, seeing how she has turned son's residence into this state, father Emperor should know that she is doing very well."
Tianwu asked Xuan Tianhua with some excitement, "You … can you find a way to let her see me?" Whether it was inside or outside the palace, Tianwu still didn't dare to rashly go see Consort Yun. He had the ability to knock on the door outside, cause trouble outside, and stir up trouble, but he definitely didn't have the courage to use his identity to push open the door and enter. In his heart, Yun Pian Pian was above all else. If he hadn't been in a hurry to treat the disease she had contracted, he would have thought of a way to satisfy both sides and not expose his identity so easily.
Tianwu's request put Xuan Tianhua in a difficult position. He said, "Just now, when the servants came to report, mother said that perhaps Imperial Father had come. She … won't see you."
"Won't see her." This answer wasn't unexpected, but he still wanted to do his best to fight for it, "Go tell your mother, just say that zhen … just say that I came to ask if there is anything else she needs to add to the newly restored Winter Moon Palace."
Xuan Tianhua was helpless and could only say, "Then Imperial Father, please wait here. This son will be back soon."
He quickly left, and at the same time, sent away all the servants in the front yard. Consort Yun was weaving a flower basket in the courtyard. When she saw Xuan Tianhua come over, she didn't wait for him to ask and took the initiative to say, "I said that I won't see him no matter what. We've already met once before in the palace. We've met for twenty years. You can just tell him this."
Xuan Tianhua helplessly returned, only to see that Tianwu was no longer standing. Instead, he was sitting cross-legged in front of the bamboo fence, facing the flowers, and his hand was constantly stroking a clingy little dog.
He sighed in his heart, but he didn't know how to relay Consort Yun's words. They'd met for twenty years. How was he supposed to tell this old father of his?
He only sighed softly and walked forward, sitting cross-legged next to Tianwu. He only said, "This son has just returned from the eastern border. I originally wanted to immediately enter the palace to report after seeing mother. Since Imperial Father has come, this son will talk to you about the eastern border."
Tianwu nodded. It was as though nothing had happened, only saying: "Go ahead."
The Chun Palace had changed. On the other side, after Feng Yu Heng brought Zirui back to the imperial daughter's manor, she found that Feng Jin Yuan still had not left. Sitting on the steps in front of the imperial daughter's manor, he was dozing off.
She walked forward and stopped in front of Feng Jin Yuan; however, because he was sleeping too soundly, he did not notice that someone had arrived at his side.
Feng Yu Heng looked at this father. He was not even 40 years old, but there was already quite a bit of white hair at his temples. There were also many wrinkles on his face. Even with his eyes closed, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were still clearly visible.
She believed that she had never been a kind person; however, she was not so vicious as to not leave anyone a way out. Even if Feng Jin Yuan had harmed her many times, she still left him alive.
For example, right now, she knew that Feng Jin Yuan had definitely come for a reason. To be able to have this person stand guard outside the imperial daughter's manor for an entire night without leaving, based on Feng Jin Yuan's personality, he definitely could not do such a thing. Thinking about it, he must have encountered some difficulty and needed her help.
Feng Yu Heng thought that as long as his request was not too excessive and she was able to do so, it was not impossible for her to lend a hand. Thus she gently coughed, gesturing for the person on the steps to wake up.
Feng Jin Yuan was immediately woken up. Seeing that Feng Yu Heng had returned, a look of excitement immediately flashed through his eyes. Following this, he turned his gaze to Zirui, who was being held in her hand. A thick feeling of fatherly love that had never appeared on him before was immediately revealed.
He opened his arms and shouted to Zirui with a heart full of hope: "Son, come to father's side."
He originally thought that Zirui would happily dive into his embrace, but the kid only calmly looked at him. Cupping his hands, it could be considered a greeting. He did not even call out his name.
Feng Jin Yuan's gaze immediately landed on the hand that was missing a pinky finger. The eye-catching defect reminded him again and again of what he had done to his son and daughter. His old face immediately dimmed, and the outstretched hand stopped in midair. He could neither retract it nor not retract it. It was very awkward.
In the end, Feng Yu Heng was unable to continue watching this scene. Tugging at Zirui, she gently said: "Father is calling for you. Say something."
Zirui glanced at his elder sister. Although he was puzzled, he still listened to her and unwillingly called out: "Father."
"Ah! Ah! " Feng Jin Yuan was immediately moved, as two lines of tears immediately flowed out. He quickly wiped them away and finally managed to resolve some of the awkwardness.
Feng Zirui, however, was completely indifferent to this. It was as though Feng Jin Yuan was acting, which caused him to feel irritated.
"Father, you did not leave for the entire night. Did you need something from me?" Feng Yu Heng did not want to continue this show of affection, so she took the initiative to ask him.
Feng Jin Yuan heard this and quickly stood up. He had not slept for the entire night and had been sitting there for the majority of the day. It was such that he swayed slightly when he stood up.
In the end, Zirui was still a child. He hated the person in front of him to the extreme, but seeing that he was about to faint, he still subconsciously went forward to support him.
Feng Jin Yuan was moved and wanted to pat Zirui's head; however, Zirui dodged him and quickly returned to his elder sister's side. He did not continue to insist and only laughed at himself. After thinking a bit more, for some reason, he asked a question that caused Feng Yu Heng to immediately withdraw all of her sympathy. He said: "The girl that came to find you this morning, are you familiar with her? Where did she go? "
