Chapter 438 Mother and Daughter Recognize Xuan Xiaoying Returns Home (8)
Biqing hurriedly stabilized her figure, and said excitedly: "Oh, you are back, the princess has been waiting for you for a long time! You, you go and have a look!"
King Zhongshan thought something happened to the princess, but seeing Biqing's expression didn't look like it: "What's the matter?"
Bi Qing pursed her lips and pressed the corners of her raised lips: "Go and see for yourself! Something serious has happened!"
King Zhongshan frowned and went to Wenfangyuan.
From a long distance, he heard the hearty laughter of the princess, and his footsteps stopped immediately, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he listened again, and he was sure that the woman who laughed like a child was his wife, and instantly felt like a ghost.
When she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she always smiled like this, like a little lunatic. Later, she became a princess, and gradually restrained her temper. After giving birth to four children, she became more and more airy, but she really lost her smile. After Xuan Xiaoying disappeared.
He can still see her smile from time to time, but he can't feel the slightest joy from her smile, unlike now, when he hasn't even met her, he can already imagine her laughing forward and backward.
The slightly depressed mood due to the obstruction of the rescue operation was infected by this kind of laughter, and gradually improved.
He raised his hand and opened the curtain. As soon as he entered, he saw a little girl sitting on the lap of the princess, her back was facing him, and she couldn't see her face clearly. what? Why did Sakura shrink?
The concubine found him, her eyes were bright and her brows were full of smiles: "Xiao Lian, look, father is back."
Xuan Xiaoying slowly turned her head and looked at the middle-aged man who was standing in the doorway. The man was very handsome, but also very serious, giving people a feeling that strangers should not enter. Xuan Xiaoying knew that every child in the village had a father and a mother, but there was no concubine mother and king father. She didn't quite understand the meaning of these two titles, she just thought that king father was this person's name, so she opened her mouth and called out obediently. One voice: "Father."
King Zhongshan was completely stunned!
Seeing his stupid appearance, the princess laughed out loud, but soon she shed tears again, and walked to her husband with the child in her arms, sobbing, "My lord, Xiao Ying has been found, our Xiao Ying has found it!" It's..."
King Zhongshan slowly carried his daughter into his arms. The daughter was so light that she could barely feel the weight, and she was too thin. The little arm that was a little thicker than his thumb was afraid of being accidentally broken. Now, his chest began to heave violently, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked straight at Xuan Xiaoying: "Xiao, Xiaoying?"
"My name is Xiaolian." She still couldn't get used to her new name.
King Zhongshan didn’t care about Sakura or Lian, as long as it was his daughter, he lifted her up high like a rising sun.
Xuan Xiaoying had never been to such a high place before, so she let out a "huh" and then giggled.
"It's my child! It's my child!" King Zhongshan trembled excitedly, and carried her back into his arms. His eyes, which were never wet, were now slightly teary.
He is a man, he doesn't need a substitute, he doesn't need to use another child to deceive himself, in his eyes, Xiao Ying is his adopted daughter, but she has never been his Xuan Xiao Ying. For three years, he has endured the torment of losing his daughter every day, and at this moment, he finally saw——
"Sakura, call me King Father!"
Xuan Xiaoying obediently said: "Father."
"Hey! Call again."
"Father Wang." It doesn't matter how many you call it, isn't it just a name? It's not like she can't shout.
King Zhongshan was so happy that he, who had never even kissed his eldest son, kissed Xuan Xiaoying's face several times in a row, until Xuan Xiaoying tilted her head and said, "Your beard hurts so much", he was reluctant. Sherdi put her daughter down.
But soon, he discovered that his daughter's right foot could not bear the force, and his face sank immediately: "What's going on?"
The concubine briefly told him what happened, and he was furious: "It's better for Sakura to fall by herself. If I find out who pushed her, I will definitely make that person die!"
Xuan Xiaoying didn't play for long, and she missed the peasant woman. The princess carried her back to the peasant woman's room. Now the peasant woman lives in the house where Xuan Xiaoying lost her, and she is still in Wenfangyuan. Although it is a bit unreasonable, the princess is too I can't bear to part with my daughter, and I feel better if I live closer.
Under the service of the maids, the peasant woman changed into clean and crisp clothes. She has never lived in such a luxurious house. Even if the peasant woman takes a step, she is afraid of dirtying the carpet.
Xuan Xiaoying was carried in by the princess, and stretched out her hand to the peasant woman.
The peasant woman took her into her arms and gave the princess a lame gift.
The princess smiled slightly, took her hand and said, "Don't be so alien to me, treat this place as your own home, and we will all be one family from now on."
The peasant woman nodded awkwardly, and said with a dry smile, "Yes, yes."
"Tell me what kind of food you like to eat, and tell me what you lack. There is no one in this house who is afraid to listen to you. Whatever you want to do, let them do it. You are welcome! There is no one in the house. I've already said hello to the porter's side, if you want to go out, there will be a carriage to pick you up." The princess said sincerely.
The peasant woman was flattered and said thanks.
The princess looked at the yawning daughter in the peasant woman's arms, and asked dotingly: "Is Xiaolian sleepy? Can the concubine take a bath for you?"
Xuan Xiaoying looked at the peasant woman.
The peasant woman laughed and said, "Let's wash Xiaolian together..."
The princess and the peasant woman gave Xuan Xiaoying a bath together.
The bathtub is very large, filled with many toys, expensive soap locusts, and exudes a fragrance that the peasant woman has never smelled.
After washing Xuan Xiaoying, the peasant woman went to take a bath wisely. The princess accompanied her daughter to lie on the bed that the peasant woman had just sat on, took out those rattles and rattles... one by one, and said like every treasure: "This is yours. I bought it when I was a year old, remember? I bought this one when I was a year old, and this one was a gift from my grandpa...You like playing rattles the most..."
Xuan Xiaoying listened to her quietly, and slowly closed her eyes.
After all, it is a child. I don’t know how to choose a bed, and I fall asleep when I am tired from playing.
The princess hugged her, not enough to kiss her, nor enough to look at her.
The peasant woman said: "Why don't you, you sleep with her?"
The princess wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "No, she will be sad if she wakes up and won't see you." It is already a gift from God that her daughter can return to her side. She owes her so much, how can she be sad? ?
After staying with her daughter for a while, the princess got up and left the room. She felt vaguely that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't remember it.
When she fell asleep until midnight, Xuan Xiaoying woke up from the urge to urinate, and she sat up slowly by herself without disturbing the peasant woman as usual.
She reached out her small hand and slowly opened the curtain, but suddenly saw a little girl about her age, wearing a white skirt, barefoot, holding a puppet, looking at her with deep eyes.
