Chapter 293: Father and Daughter Connected
Zhao Yan stayed in the palace until it was almost dark before returning. In order to wait for the punishment result, he had made great contributions to the Liao Kingdom, but in the end he caused a great disaster for destroying the alliance. He also personally killed the Siolibo and others who came to form the alliance. It can be said that the nature is very bad. If it were another person, there would be no discussion at all, and it would be a death sentence.
However, Zhao Yan made great contributions first, which could be compared with his merits and demerits. In addition, he was a prince, so although the consequences of his killing of Silibo were serious, it was not a big deal for him. However, some ministers still advocated severe punishment for Zhao Yan for certain purposes, but some ministers were more fair and did not agree with this approach. As a result, the two gangs quarreled in the hall for a long time. Finally, under Zhao Shula's side-to-side handling, the punishment for Zhao Yan was very light, and they just handed him over to Zongzheng Temple.
Zongzheng Temple is an institution that specializes in managing the royal family. Generally, if the royal family violates the law, as long as it is not serious, they will be sent here for disposal. However, those who work in Zongzheng Temple are all royal families, and everyone is a relative. Therefore, even if you enter Zongzheng Temple, you will usually be confined to a few days in confinement. If you are more serious, you may be beaten and rarely die. The national law violated by Zhao Yan is only sent to Zongzheng Temple, which can be said to be no punishment at all.
Originally, after Zhao Yan received his own punishment, he should have been escorted to Zongzheng Temple to wait for disposal, but he went back to the royal palace directly. This was mainly because the person who served Zongzheng was Zhao Zongsheng, who had sent his daughter to Zhao Yan's mansion to lose weight before, and Zhao Yan's biological uncle. Last time Zhao Yan helped him so much, Zhao Yingning soon married a good man after losing weight. This time, Zhao Zongsheng directly asked Zhao Yan to go home and stay home and think about it for a month, which was not a punishment at all.
After Zhao Yan thanked Zhao Zongsheng, he immediately rushed home. First, he wanted to see his daughter earlier, and second, he was worried that Yelu Si would return to the palace alone, and he didn't know how Cao Ying would deal with her. Although Cao Ying's personality should not do anything out of order, Zhao Yan was still worried.
After finally waiting for the carriage to return to the palace, Zhao Yan jumped out of the carriage and then rushed directly into the palace. The guards at the door saw Zhao Yan coming back and were about to report to the palace, but Zhao Yan waved his hand and signaled that they didn't need to report. Then they went straight into the palace. Later, they almost trotted into the inner palace.
As soon as I entered the inner palace, I saw two girls, Xiao Douya and Mixue, guarding behind the gate of the inner palace. When I saw him, I immediately came forward in surprise and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, Princess and the others are all holding a banquet. I'm waiting for the prince to come back and hold a banquet!"
"Okay, you guys lead the way!" Zhao Yan didn't know which yard Xue Ning'er lived in, so he immediately ordered.
Mixue also saw that Zhao Yan was very anxious and immediately led the way. Xiao Douya followed Zhao Yan and said, "Your Majesty, you are back. The little princess born by Majesty Xue is so beautiful. It's very fun. The fourth sister said that I was clumsy and forbid me to hug the little princess. In addition, the fourth sister missed the prince very much. I heard her crying in the quilt several times..."
Xiao Douya obviously missed Zhao Yan very much, and it was endless as soon as he talked about it, but Zhao Yan was not bored. He listened to Xiao Douya nagging while walking. After all, he had been away from home for so long and needed to know more about the situation at home. It just so happened that Xiao Douya was talking nonsense and dared to say anything. For example, Zhao Yan knew from her that Cao Ying would actually cry in the quilt because of herself.
After a while, Zhao Yan followed Mixue to the yard where Xue Ning'er lived. Only then did he realize that the yard where Xue Ning'er lived was next to his original yard, and the other side of his yard was Cao Ying's yard. It seemed that this was specially arranged by Cao Ying.
Zhao Yan hurried into Xue Ning'er's room. As soon as he entered the living room, he heard a burst of laughter from a woman from the bedroom next to him. Zhao Yan immediately stopped and listened with his ears. As a result, he soon heard the voices of his two sisters inside, as well as the voices of Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er. In the end, even Yelu Si's laughter was mixed. It seemed that they got along well, at least on the surface, it sounded very happy.
Hearing Yelu Si's laughter inside, Zhao Yan also felt half relieved and stepped into the room. At first glance, he saw Xue Ning'er half lying on the bed, holding a small baby in her arms breastfeeding. Cao Ying, Yelu Si, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang were around the bed and watching the baby laugh, looking happy.
"Husband, why are you back so late?" Xue Ning'er, who was half lying on the bed, was the first to see Zhao Yan. She immediately shouted loudly with surprise on her face, and sat up from the bed excitedly.
At this time, Cao Ying, Princess Bao'an and others also saw Zhao Yan, and they stood up excitedly. Princess Shoukang rushed forward with a quick glance, then looked at Zhao Yan up and down, and suddenly said with a smile: "Third brother, you have been leaving for a year, leaving Sister Ying'er and Sister Ning'er at home to be scared. Don't do such things again in the future!"
In contrast, Princess Bao'an also stepped forward, looked at Zhao Yan for a few glances and suddenly wiped her tears and said, "My third brother is darker than before, and he has lost a lot of weight. I don't know how much suffering he has suffered this year. Come and see Xiao Siyue. I'm sorry that she has never seen her father until she was born."
When Zhao Yan heard this, he didn't bother to say hello to Cao Ying and the others. He walked up to Xue Ning'er in two steps, bent down to look at his daughter lying in the other person's arms. Although the little guy was not yet full moon, he was already white and fat, and his hair was very thick. With his small facial features, he looked so cute no matter how he looked.
"Ning'er is incompetent and failed to give birth to a child for her husband. Please punish her!" Xue Ning'er suddenly spoke, with a hint of apology on her face. Although she also likes Xiao Siyue very much, it still made her very regretful that she was unable to give birth to a boy.
"Follower, having boys and girls is not something you can control, what can I punish?" Zhao Yan laughed when she heard this. Then he carefully took his daughter from Xue Ning'er, then hugged her gently and said, "In addition, compared to this, I still like my daughter more. If anyone dares to bully my daughter in the future, I will beat him to death!"
Perhaps because he understood Zhao Yan's words, Xiao Siyue in his arms turned her big black eyes and looked at him, and suddenly she showed an innocent smile. This made Zhao Yan feel that his heart had been melted in an instant, and at the same time, she suddenly felt a sense of happiness and responsibility as a father in her heart.
Seeing the kindness in Zhao Yan's eyes, Xue Ning'er was also sure that he really liked his daughter, which made her finally relieved. Yelu Si next to her was also a little worried about having a boy or a girl, but now seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, she finally let go of this worry. Of course, she still hoped that she could have a boy, but it didn't matter if she had a girl.
Zhao Yan hugged Xiao Siyue and teased her for a long time, but the little guy seemed to really like him. He kept laughing from the beginning, which made Princess Bao'an and the others amazed. They all said that father and daughter were in love. It seemed that Xiao Siyue would definitely be closer to Zhao Yan when she grew up.
Princess Bao'an and the others had already prepared a welcoming banquet for Zhao Yan and Yelu Si. It was getting late now, and Zhao Yan didn't want Cao Ying and the others to be hungry, so he finally reluctantly gave his daughter to the wet nurse. Although Xue Ning'er's body was still a little weak, she could already go downstairs and the welcoming banquet was in the outer hall, so she also came out with Zhao Yan and the others.
However, just as everyone was walking towards the outer hall, Cao Ying suddenly came to Zhao Yan and whispered: "Husband, you are so good at it. You quietly aroused a princess from Liao and was pregnant. Will you also get the princess from Xixia or Dali back next time?"
Hearing Cao Ying's jealous words, Zhao Yan also replied helplessly: "Madam, this matter is very complicated, I can't explain it clearly for a while. After the banquet, I will definitely tell you in detail!"
"Hmph, I don't care. Anyway, my sister Sier called me sister just now. No matter what her identity was before, I wouldn't show mercy if she made any mistakes in the future." Cao Ying said to Zhao Yan. Although she was jealous, she was also a person who knew the general. Moreover, when Yelu Si saw her, she lowered her posture and did not have the princess' airs, which also made her breath much less.
"Of course, my wife is the princess, and you will naturally take charge of everything in the mansion. Even if I make a mistake, my wife will punish me. I will never complain!" Zhao Yan said with a smile. At this time, he knew that he could never go against Cao Ying's intention, but should lower his posture so that Cao Ying could vent his anger.
Seeing that Zhao Yan was not serious, Cao Ying angrily reached out to twist his waist, but he didn't use any force at all. Then he quickly walked to the front hall. When Zhao Yan saw this, he smiled slightly and quickly followed.
The whole family sat together, and Zhao Yan was nearly a year away from home. Everyone had a lot to say, especially Princess Bao'an, who pulled Zhao Yan to feel distressed for a long time. After all, although they were called siblings, they were actually closer to mother and son in terms of relationship. No matter how nonsense Zhao Yan used to be, his feelings for Princess Bao'an were very sincere, which also affected Zhao Yan after traveling through time.
The welcome banquet lasted until the second update and the genius dispersed. Zhao Yan didn't drink much at the banquet. Instead, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang were too happy to see him, so they drank a few more drinks. In the end, their faces were red and the maid helped them to rest. Cao Ying didn't drink much because she had to wait for Zhao Yan's explanation.
Zhao Yan first sent Yelu Si back to his room to rest, and then came to Cao Ying's yard, thinking about how to say his own experience and how he got together with Yelu Si? However, what Zhao Yan never expected was that as soon as he entered Cao Ying's bedroom, he immediately felt a soft body pounce on him.
