Chapter 209: Going to the Border, Reluctant
Regardless of what others think, Shang Yue has made up his mind.
For the next three days, as soon as he finished his court sessions, he would stay in Changle Palace with Nan Yan and the children.
Le Yu and Le Zhi already knew that their father was going to the border, so they ran to Changle Palace as soon as school was over, hoping to stay with their father for a while longer.
The weather was very good on the day he left. Facing the morning glow, Nan Yan and a few children stood on the palace gate, silently watching the departing figure.
Shang Yue, dressed in armor, suddenly turned around and saw the figures above the palace gate. A trace of reluctance flashed across his eyes.
He said silently in his heart, I will definitely come back safely.
I was afraid that if I continued to watch him, he would be reluctant to leave, so I had to turn around and leave.
Until the figure disappeared, Lezhi's tears suddenly flowed out.
"Mother, Father is gone."
Nan Yan felt very upset too. When she saw her daughter crying, she almost cried too.
She stepped over and sniffed, then turned around with a smile on her face. She squatted down and held the little girl's arm, saying, "Father will come back after he defeats the Yuan Dynasty. Be good, Zhizhi, don't cry."
"Woooooooo..."
Lezhi suddenly threw herself into Nanyan's arms and burst into tears.
Le Yu on the side pursed his lips tightly, tears glistening in his eyes, and he stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
Compared to Le Zhi who was crying loudly, he was equally pitiful, and Nan Yan also pulled him into her arms.
Le Yu hugged Nan Yan tightly and buried his head in Nan Yan's shoulder. Soon, Nan Yan felt the wetness on her shoulder.
His father said that men don't shed tears easily, but he really couldn't bear to leave his father.
"Be good, don't cry, father will definitely be back soon."
When Nan Yan said this, in fact, she was not only comforting the child, but also comforting herself.
Le Yu and Le Zhi couldn't stop crying. Nan Yan was afraid that if they continued crying like this, their eyes would be hurt, so she advised them:
"Alright, alright, stop crying. If your father knew you were so upset after he left, he would be heartbroken."
With Nan Yan's comfort, the two children gradually calmed down. Although they were still reluctant to see their father leave, their tears finally stopped.
At this moment, the two little guys' eyes were already red and swollen.
Le Xuan and Le Ci, who were held by the nanny at the side, had no idea what was going on. They looked at their mother and their royal brothers and sisters happily.
When Nan Yan stood up and saw them, the sadness in her heart dissipated a lot.
She pinched the two little guys' cheeks and joked, "You two little guys are really heartless. I really envy you."
When Le Xuan and Le Ci saw their mother pinching their faces, their smiles grew even wider, and even their gums where no teeth had grown could be seen.
"Mother, Father...Father..." Le Xuan stretched out his chubby little hand and pointed in the direction his father left with a smile.
"Yes, Father left over there, Xuanxuan is very smart."
As if he knew he was being praised, the smile on Le Xuan's face grew wider.
After Nan Yan took the four children back, she asked someone to go to the Imperial Hospital to get some medicine to apply to Le Yu and Le Zhi's eyes. Their skin was tender, and if they didn't apply the medicine today, they would definitely feel worse tomorrow.
"Mother, I want to sleep with you tonight." Le Zhi said softly while applying medicine.
Nan Yan said lovingly, "Okay, you will sleep with mother tonight."
There was finally a smile on the little girl's face.
Le Yu pursed his lips and said after a long while: "Mother, I also want to sleep in Changle Palace tonight."
"Okay, you all rest here tonight."
On the first night that Shang Yue left, Nan Yan slept with Le Zhi, and Le Yu slept with his two younger brothers in the side hall.
The next day.
I went to bed early at night and Nan Yan got up very early.
Le Yu and Le Zhi's eyes were much better than yesterday. After breakfast and applying some medicine, they went to find the tutor for lessons.
Although only one person was missing, Nan Yan felt as if a lot of people were missing, and suddenly felt a little lonely.
Perhaps the Queen Mother had the same feeling as Nan Yan, so she asked someone to take Le Xuanle to the Cining Palace to accompany her.
The entire Changle Palace fell silent, and Nan Yan felt a little uncomfortable.
She went to the study and found a few miscellaneous books to read, but she couldn't concentrate at all.
It was obvious that she always found it interesting whether reading miscellaneous notes or account books.
After thinking it over, she asked someone to summon Ruan Yurou and Qin Siyao into the palace. She wanted to talk to them.
"Aunt, aunt..."
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
Yinling smiled and said, "Madam, Miss Zhiyi is here."
Nan Zhiyi is lively, naughty and cute. After returning to the capital, she studies in the Imperial College. She would come to Changle Palace from time to time. The palace people in Changle Palace like her very much.
Nan Yan naturally heard her niece's voice. A smile suddenly appeared on her face and she stood up and walked out.
As soon as she reached the palace gate, she saw a little girl jumping and running towards her.
She was wearing a pink skirt, looking pretty and lovely, just like a peach blossom fairy.
"I have seen your aunt." The little girl ran to Nan Yan and bowed.
Although she is usually very naughty, she is never careless about learning etiquette and following manners.
"Zhiyi, get up quickly." Nan Yan helped the little girl up.
"Aunt, you are as beautiful today as usual." The little girl said sweetly as she stood up.
She still remembered that her grandmother and mother had told her that her aunt was in a bad mood because her uncle had left, and she should entertain her aunt.
She was also very sad when her father left, and she understood her aunt's sadness.
Nan Yan was amused by her, touched her head and said, "Zhi Yi is as beautiful as usual!"
"Hehe." The little girl who was praised laughed, revealing her two pointed little canine teeth, and said crisply: "Everyone says that I look like my aunt, so I must be beautiful."
Nan Yan and Nan Luo look alike, and Nan Zhiyi looks like Nan Luo, and indeed looks three points like Nan Yan.
The corners of Nan Yan's mouth curled up wider and wider as the little girl teased her.
Nan Zhiyi felt relieved when he saw that his aunt was happy.
Her aunt was very kind to her and she thought her aunt was very happy every day.
After the aunt and niece talked for a few words, Ruan Yurou, Qin Siyao and their youngest son Nan Zhili arrived, which shows how fast the little girl ran just now.
"Greetings, aunt." Nan Zhili followed his grandmother and bowed to Nan Yan.
The one and a half year old boy can already walk steadily, has a rich vocabulary and can perform formal greetings in a very proper manner.
Compared to his naughty sister, he seems much more "stable".
"Know the etiquette and don't be polite."
Nan Yan held Nan Zhili in her arms. The little guy was held by his beautiful aunt. He opened his big eyes shyly and didn't dare to look, and his face blushed silently.
The little guy has fair skin and looks very much like Qin Siyao. One can tell from his eyes and eyebrows that he will become a very heroic man in the future.
"Mom, sister-in-law, come in and sit down."
After spending the whole afternoon with them, Qin Siyao took the two children back home.
