Chapter 294: I love Xier so much that I won’t bully her
Accompanied by a hearty laugh coming from outside the door, everyone turned their eyes to the door.
"Haha, I heard that Xier brought a child back, so I came to see." As the words fell, a figure slowly walked into the hall.
Chu Tianlong, dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe and with steady and powerful steps, strode into Chu Zixi's Zhaoyang Palace.
Chu Zixi heard the familiar voice, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. She said softly: "Father."
Chu Tianlong nodded slightly in response, and then his gaze quickly shifted to the little boy next to him.
The little boy's skin was as white as snow, like a flawless jade, emitting a faint luster; his eyes were clear as a spring, revealing purity and innocence.
The little fellow tightly grasped the corner of Chu Zixi's clothes and called in a soft voice: "Mom~" The voice was crisp and pleasant, like the tender buds of early spring, so fresh and tender that people couldn't help but want to touch it gently.
However, this call made Chu Tianlong stunned. He frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Xier, he called you mother? What's going on?"
His tone was full of surprise and disbelief. After all, in his mind, Chu Zixi had always been that pure and innocent girl who had not yet married. How could she suddenly have such a big child?
Chu Zixi was relieved to see the emperor's delight. She smiled and explained to the emperor, "Father, Xiaobai is an orphan that Jun Feimo and I met by chance outside the palace. He was alone and helpless at the time, and was really pitiful. So we took pity on him and brought him back to the palace, adopted him as our adopted son, and gave him a warm home."
After hearing this, Chu Tianlong's doubts immediately disappeared without a trace.
He took a deep breath, then turned his gaze back to Jun Bai and looked at him carefully.
The child has a pretty face and extraordinary temperament, and there is an indescribable spirit of agility all over his body that makes people love him.
Chu Tianlong nodded in praise, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Good, good, good! This child is fair and cute, so likable!" He said "good" three times in a row, his tone full of appreciation for Jun Bai.
Then, he turned around and said to Eunuch Su beside him, "Little Su, go pick out some interesting things for Xiaobai to play with. I will have dinner in Zhaoyang Palace tonight, remember to notify the imperial kitchen to prepare more food suitable for children's taste."
"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's order." Eunuch Su bowed and accepted the order, then left quickly to carry out the emperor's will.
On the palace corridor, Eunuch Su walked briskly, carefully holding a plate of exquisite toys in his hands, with a bright smile on his face.
There were all kinds of toys on the plate, including a slingshot made of wood and cowhide. Although it looked simple, it exuded a rustic atmosphere; there was also a small and exquisite rattle with exquisite patterns painted on it, as well as some other objects.
Jun Bai stood aside, watching all this quietly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly unconsciously.
He muttered to himself: "Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?" However, when his gaze inadvertently met Chu Tianlong's eyes full of expectation.
After hesitating for a moment, Jun Bai picked up the slingshot from the plate and gently played with it in his hand.
Chu Tianlong stared at the scene in front of him, with complex emotions in his eyes. He felt reluctant that his daughter was about to marry far away in a foreign country, but he was also happy to see her happy.
He opened his mouth slowly and said, "Xier, in the blink of an eye you will be marrying far away to the country of Dongyang. Your father feels mixed emotions and it's really not pleasant." After saying that, he sighed softly, as if he wanted to release all the sorrow in his heart.
When Chu Zixi heard her father's words, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She responded softly, "Father, don't worry. Although I'm married far away, I still miss you in my heart. In the future, I will write to you frequently to keep in touch with you and come back to visit you."
After hearing this, Chu Tianlong showed a relieved smile on his face.
He patted Chu Zixi's hand gently, his eyes flashing with a soft light, and he slowly said: "Xi'er, every May, Chu is in the spring when flowers bloom and ice and snow melt, and the climate is pleasant; and the summer in Chu is not as hot as Dongyang, it is much cooler. You can choose to return to the country at that time, you can escape the heat and accompany me, so that I can have more time to take a good look at you."
Chu Zixi smiled and nodded to show her agreement.
At this time, Jun Feimo, who was standing aside, stepped forward, looked at Chu Tianlong with a firm and sincere look, and promised solemnly: "Please rest assured, King Chu, since I have married Xier as my concubine, she is the person I cherish most. I will protect her as a rare treasure, and this will never change in this life."
Chu Tianlong looked at Jun Feimo with a serious and firm gaze. He said with a hint of majesty in his voice: "You must keep your word. I only have this one daughter. If you bully her, I will not let you go."
Jun Feimo smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he assured the emperor: "I love Xier so much that I won't bully her or let her suffer any grievances."
Chu Tianlong nodded, seeming to be quite satisfied with the answer.
As night fell, the Zhaoyang Palace was brightly lit, and a group of people sat happily around a large round table, enjoying this rare dinner time.
The table was filled with various exquisite dishes, but these delicacies seemed to be no match for the warm and harmonious atmosphere at this moment.
Everyone was laughing and talking, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
As night fell, after dinner, Chu Tianlong got up and left Zhaoyang Palace, leaving Jun Feimo and Chu Zixi behind.
They smiled at each other, held hands, and walked out of the palace together.
Jun Feimo was still holding Jun Bai in one hand.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, they lightly walked out of the palace and came to Qian's mansion.
The door of Qian's house was closed and there was silence.
However, when they went around to the southwest corner of the mansion, they found that it was brightly lit and noisy, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding tranquility.
Jun Feimo and Chu Zixi used their lightness skills to land silently on the roof of the Qian Mansion like ghosts in the night.
I saw a spacious courtyard below, with bright lanterns lit all around, illuminating the entire place.
A ragged and haggard old man was kneeling on the cold, hard ground. He was Liu Laosan.
His knees were rubbed until they were bleeding, but he didn't dare to move at all.
His face was filled with fear and despair. He looked helplessly ahead, and kept begging for mercy: "Master, please forgive me! I couldn't bear to see the food being thrown away, so I secretly tasted a few bites..."
