As I wish

Most of the winter in the capital has passed, and the snow has gradually melted, and it is a sign of warming up. On the third day of the first lunar month, Fu Mingjue and Ling Youyao returned to the Ling family together.

As usual, Ling Youyao still didn't see the Song family.

Seeing her look gloomy, Ling Qingyan looked at Fu Mingjue and explained: "On New Year's Eve, my father accompanied my mother to Yongding River to watch fireworks. He accidentally got the wind and cold, but it was not serious. The doctor told me that I couldn't blow the wind in the past few days, so I didn't come out."

Ling Yuwei also said at this moment: "Your mother rarely wanted to go out for a walk that day, but she didn't expect it to be cold." As she said that, she looked at Fu Mingjue again, "I hope the prince will not blame him."

Fu Mingjue said in a faint tone: "My mother-in-law is not in good health, so she should have a good rest. I will visit her with Yao'er later."

Ling Youyao and Ling Qingyan looked at each other, then sighed quietly. They called their mother-in-law, but they were in a strong posture as a superior. This was really like what Fu Mingjue could do.

After a few greetings, Fu Mingjue followed Ling Yuwei to the study room. Ling Youyao and Ling Qingyan sat in the courtyard and stared at each other with big eyes.

After a while of silence, Ling Youyao took the initiative to speak: "Brother, is your health okay?"

"It's not a big deal, don't worry." Ling Qingyan looked at the direction of the study and asked, "Why is the prince thinking about coming back with you this time?"

"I don't know." She couldn't guess what Fu Mingjue was thinking.

Ling Qingyan heard her words and felt that tea was a little hot and said, "I don't think you know, but since he said he would go to visit his mother with you later, you can go together, but you have to go before lunch."

"I understand." Thinking of Song, Ling Youyao's expression became a little sad.

The last time I saw Song, she climbed up from the lake after falling into the water, and happened to see Song stumble towards her, hugging her soaked all over. Ling Youyao could clearly feel her worries and fear, but for some reason, Song returned to her former distant and indifferent attitude.

Ling Qingyan knew what she was thinking, so he said, "Since my mother was willing to go out a few days ago, I think she was in a good mood, let alone the prince is with you, so don't think too much."

Ling Youyao nodded slightly.

Not long after, the door of the study room finally opened. Ling Yu smiled and did not see the awe of Fu Mingjue before, but instead looked like an ordinary elder.

Ling Qingyan saw this scene, a date stuck in his throat and murmured: "What did they say? It's rare to see his father so happy."

Ling Youyao was also confused. Fu Mingjue had always been cold. After just entering for a while, she made her father so happy. It was a damn thing.

Fu Mingjue noticed the hot gaze of the brother and sister, and spoke to Ling Yu for a while and walked towards him.

Ling Qingyan sorted out his clothes and stood up, and said, "Since the prince is here, I'll leave first."

"Oh——" Ling Youyao responded casually, secretly despising Ling Qingyan's behavior of escaping in the face of battle, and then walked towards Fu Mingjue with her skirt.

"I was very happy to see Dad just now. What did you say to him?"

Fu Mingjue naturally held her hand and said, "Some small things in the court."

"Is that true?" Ling Youyao was a little suspicious.

"What did I lie to you?" Fu Mingjue led her through the courtyard and continued: "This year, Your Majesty appointed Cai Yuan as the chief examiner and his father-in-law as the deputy examiner. In addition, there are two invigilators. Often at this time, there are always people trying every means to inquire about the news, and his father-in-law took advantage of this and asked me some things."

To put it bluntly, Ling Yu wanted to take Fu Mingjue and said a few good things to Ling Youyao.

Fu Mingjue said again: "Father-in-law said that you have been naughty since childhood. If you have any bad things, let me forgive you. However, I think you are much more obedient now than when I was a child."

Ling Youyao was stunned: "How did you know?"

She didn't remember her childhood memories of Fu Mingjue, but when she heard his tone, she seemed to know her very well before.

Fu Mingjue looked at the red plum tree on the wall and said in a low voice: "When Qingwei went to Chongwenguan to listen to school, you would always follow him. Every time you looked through the window, you could see you squatting in the yard to catch crickets."

When he mentioned Ling Qingwei, he was always so calm, as if he didn't care, but Ling Youyao knew that he still couldn't let go.

Ling Youyao looked at his side face quietly, trying to see a strange look in his calm eyes. She even wondered, if it weren't for the accident back then, what would be the situation now? Who would be the person who came back with Fu Mingjue today?

Fu Mingjue glanced at the condensation in her eyes and asked, "What did you think of?"

Ling Youyao suddenly came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what happened when I was a child."

"You were young at that time and probably didn't remember it. If you can't remember it, don't think about it." He looked natural and couldn't see any regret.

But the more he did this, the heavier Ling Youyao was in a mood.

The two of them walked through the hanging flower door and arrived at the Song family's yard. The courtyard was lonely, with only a red plum tree standing tall, and the doors and windows were closed tightly. You could vaguely hear the crisp sound of wooden fish in the room.

Hongliu was coming out of the kitchen with medicine when she saw Ling Youyao and Fu Mingjue, and hurriedly came up, "I will meet the prince, princess."

"Get up," Ling Youyao's eyes fell on the closed door, "I heard from my brother that my mother was suffering from a cold, so she thought about coming over to see her."

Hong Liu looked embarrassed, but due to Fu Mingjue's presence, he said: "Wait a moment, I will inform my wife first."

"Um."

After watching Hongliu enter, Ling Youyao turned around and said to Fu Mingjue: "Mom is in bad health. It's rare to see people in recent years. If Mom doesn't want to see us, let's go back?"

Fu Mingjue tightened her hand and said, "Mother-in-law will meet us."

Ling Youyao looked at his firm eyes and said nothing after all. With Fu Mingjue here, maybe her mother would meet her.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally saw Hongliu retreating from the room. She blessed the two of them: “Madam, please come in.”

Ling Youyao was stunned, and a light gradually condensed in her dim eyes, and she said in surprise: "Do you want to see me?"

Hongliu smiled gently, and saw that she was so sad that she felt a little sad, and said, "Yes, second lady, please come in and talk to your son-in-law."

Fu Mingjue looked at Ling Youyao silently, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, and just led her into it, "Let's go."

The thick sandalwood in the house had not completely dissipated. Song was sitting there quietly, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes were quiet and calm, and he could still vaguely see his beauty back then.

Ling Youyao stopped her steps ten steps away from her, and looked at her silently. It was not until a long time later that she struggled to squeeze out a word from her throat: "Mom"
