After leaving the school, Meng Xinzhu felt a little sad. Seeing the two brothers today evoked her inner longing for her mother and her longing for home. Although they were born in different time and space, they were connected by the same fate and both belonged to this world.
Orphan. She has experienced their age, and when she was on the island, she often missed her family members who were nowhere to be found. Although her eyes did not shed tears, she secretly cried in her heart.
But she was luckier than them, because everyone around her was as lonely as she was at that time. But it was different here. Whenever they saw other brothers and sisters being held in the arms of their mother and asking for warmth, they felt that same feeling in their hearts.
Several people could understand. Perhaps it was this same loneliness that made her want to care about them.
Hongde Longqiu looked at Meng Xinzhu beside him. She was a little quiet today. "Xinzhu, what's wrong with you? Could it be that you were wronged in school?" Meng Xinzhu turned around, looked at him, and then suddenly leaned against his
In his arms, he was stunned. She had never been so proactive before, and he was really surprised. "Xinzhu, what's wrong?"
Meng Xinzhu leaned against his chest and said, "Long Qiu, I especially want a warm embrace today."
Hongde Longqiu smiled and hugged her, "Do you realize now that my embrace is very warm?"
"Long Qiu, please pay more attention to your children and don't let them be like me. You know that I have lived on an island since I was a child, living a life with only companions, no parents, brothers and sisters, although I have become accustomed to that kind of loneliness.
But deep down in my heart I am still attached to my family and my relatives. I know that kind of pain, so don’t let your children live that kind of life." Meng Xinzhu raised her head and looked at him, "You are an emperor.
But he is also a father, so don’t let your children only know that they have a father, but that they have a father.”
"You want me to spend more time with them?"
"It's not hope, it's should. You are their father, blood is thicker than water. And they are Yue's future and your future. Caring about them means caring about Yue, caring about your country and your people. I think.
To be a successful emperor is not only personal success, but also cultivating a future successful emperor for Yue. Only in this way can it be considered a complete success."
Hongde Longqiu smiled and hugged her tightly, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, concubine, for reminding me. I will pay more attention to it in the future."
"However, don't act like a leader is inspecting," Meng Xinzhu raised her head and stretched out her hand to pull up the corners of his mouth. "You must keep smiling, like a father, not a majestic emperor."
Hongde Longqiu couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I promise you, the father will not smile stingily at his children."
When he saw Teng Ming again, he not only saluted, but also smiled at Meng Xinzhu. After the class was over, he took the initiative to come to her and handed her something wrapped in a silk handkerchief, which Meng Xinzhu had brought to worship the day before yesterday.
He said that Concubine Hong’s pastries were left to her by her mother because she was the first person to pay homage to Concubine Hong.
Meng Xinzhu looked at him and gently touched his hair, "Tengming, if you are willing, you can tell me anything in the future."
Teng Ming looked at her for a long time before nodding.
During this period, Hongde Longqiu would come to the school every one or two days. Although he was smiling and amiable every time he came, his children were already accustomed to the majesty of their father, and they still acted like leaders every time they met.
Just like the inspection, Meng Xinzhu was really speechless about this. Alas, this habit may be difficult to change. This is the father-son relationship with royal characteristics.
That day, Meng Xinzhu was looking for books in the school library. Teng Ming quietly walked to the door of the room and stood by the door and secretly looked at her. Meng Xinzhu smiled. She already felt that someone was peeping at her. She didn't know what the little guy was talking about.
idea.
After a long time, Meng Xinzhu heard someone walking into the study room. She turned around and said, "Tengming, are you okay?"
Tengming bit his lip, thought for a long time, and suddenly knelt down on his knees, "Tengming is brave, please ask Concubine Zhu for help."
Is there anything so serious? Meng Xinzhu stepped forward to help the little guy up, "Let's talk about it. If I can help, I will definitely help."
"Please help me persuade my eldest brother!"
"Teng Xiao?"
"Yes. Although the eldest brother is the eldest son of the emperor, he has an eye disease. His mother and concubine died young. It is good enough if the brothers and sisters are not ridiculed. There is no help at all. Although the father cares about us, he also needs to care.
Other brothers and sisters." Tengming looked at Concubine Zhu, "Over the years, the empress is the only one who comes to worship during the birth sacrifice of the concubine. She is also the only one who does not ridicule Tengming and shed tears, and the only one who is willing to give Tengming
Help people.”
Meng Xinzhu gently held Teng Ming in her arms. In fact, she had already guessed a little about their living conditions.
"My dear, apart from my father, Tengming only has his eldest brother as his only relative, but Tengming has never seen his eldest brother smile. The eldest brother never talks much and never leaves the house. All the lessons are relayed by Tengming."
Ming leaned against the bamboo concubine and said, "My queen, Teng Ming wants to beg you for my eldest brother. Please help me, don't let my eldest brother suffer from eye diseases anymore, don't let my eldest brother close himself off anymore. Teng Ming hopes to see his smile."
"Am I sure I can help him?"
"Except for Tengming, the eldest brother never interferes with other people's affairs. But after the mother-concubine's birthday ceremony, the eldest brother would mention the empress to Tengming. Tengming understood that although those cakes are not expensive, the eldest brother is the same as Tengming.
, I feel the love of my empress. Although the eldest brother cannot see, he is not weaker than anyone else in all his homework. If Tengming doesn't understand something, the eldest brother can give him some pointers. Tengming knows that he is not weaker than anyone else.
He is a prince. It's just because of his eye disease that he doesn't want to hear other people's ridicule, and he doesn't want others to think that he is a useless person. He doesn't need other people's pity. Therefore, he doesn't want to see people. Teng Ming tried to persuade him, but it was of no use.
.But the empress is very intelligent, and your care has already made my elder brother realize something. Teng Ming feels that maybe the elder brother can listen to what the empress said."
Pushing open the door, Meng Xinzhu saw Teng Xiao sitting quietly at the desk. Hearing a sound, Teng Xiao moved his head, listened carefully, and felt that the footsteps today were a bit strange, "Ming, is it you?"
"
"It's Zhu Fei!"
Teng Xiao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and was about to salute, but Meng Xinzhu dissuaded her. "I wonder what your Majesty will teach you when you come this time?"
Meng Xinzhu smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you a story."
Teng Xiao was stunned again, "Teng Xiao appreciates your kindness and doesn't dare to bother her."
"I'm not telling you stories because you're lonely and bored, and these stories are not meant to relieve your boredom." Teng Xiao tilted his head and frowned. Meng Xinzhu stood up, walked to the incense table, and looked at the picture of a beautiful woman holding a fan.
, "I believe this is what your mother-in-law hopes you can finish listening to these stories."
