Chapter 980 Come Back
Chapter 980 Come back
"Aniang, you're showing your emotions too clearly." Bai Qingyan said in a low voice.
Seeing that the maids and eunuchs had left the hall and the hall was empty, Mrs. Dong put the chopsticks back, touched the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes were red, and she refused to admit it: "It's Ah Jue, and Xiao Wu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi are about to go to southern Xinjiang, I just can't bear them, how can I have any emotions?"
"In this case, Ah Bao brought you such a beautiful parrot, you should take a look at it..." Bai Qingyan glanced at the parrot hanging on the porch, and saw the parrot flapping its wings, its feathers glowing brightly in the sun. It was so gorgeous that it attracted the attention of those little maids and eunuchs.
Bai Qingyan looked out again, seeing that there was no one inside or outside the palace, and then whispered to Dong Shi: "Aniang, although you can see it, but Aniang can't show your emotions too much. She and the eunuchs are all smart, for Ayu's safety, Aniang still has to restrain herself, as long as she can see Ayu and know that Ayu is in good health, even Mother Qin... can't reveal Ayu's identity!"
Mrs. Dong immediately cheered up, as the safety of her son was at stake, Mrs. Dong had to restrain her emotions no matter what, just like the day of the palace banquet.
"Auntie is very satisfied to see Ayu!" Dong held back tears, and said to Bai Qing with a smile, "Auntie will restrain her emotions, and I'm sure even Mother Qin...wouldn't let her see the clue .”
Bai Qingyan held Dong's hand: "A Bao believes in Auntie! Auntie, let's eat something first! Get up early this morning and go to court. Abao is already very hungry right now, Auntie won't move. Chopsticks, Ah Bao absolutely dare not touch them."
Dong was amused by Bai Qingyan, raised her hand and poked Bai Qingyan's forehead, got up and served Bai Qingyan a bowl of porridge in person: "Mrs. Have some Gastrodia elata powder, drink more."
"Okay..." She nodded with a smile, and took the porridge bowl from A Niang.
Before he finished his bowl of porridge, someone came outside to report that the ghost-mask prince had been brought over.
Bai Qingyan glanced at the porridge bowl in his hand, and said to Wei Zhong: "My mother and I haven't finished our breakfast yet, you can go and ask Rongdi's ghost-faced lord if he wants to come in together for some."
Wei Zhong was quite surprised, he raised his head and looked at Dong Shi, seeing that Dong Shi was smiling and didn't object, he repeatedly retreated and invited the ghost-faced prince to come in.
Bai Qingyu tightly clutched the clothes beside her, turned her head and told Apulu to wait outside the hall, and then stepped into the threshold of Shouhe Palace.
"This way, please..." Wei Zhong made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyu, and led Bai Qingyu into the hall.
"The ministers have seen the Empress Dowager Zhou, Your Majesty!" Bai Qingyu's hoarse voice sounded, and the blue parrot with bright feathers under the verandah flapped its wings and screamed loudly.
"Nurse Qin, take this animal away..." Mrs. Dong couldn't hold back, and lost her temper to cover up her distress.
Nanny Qin hurriedly responded and ordered the two young eunuchs to carry the parrot that Li Zhijie gave away.
Clutching the hem of her clothes tightly, Dong looked at Bai Qingyu and tried her best to restrain her emotions.
"My lord, sit down!" Bai Qingyan made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyu.
Bai Qingyu lowered her eyes, not daring to look into her mother's eyes, and sat down at the round table.
Under the round table, Bai Qingyan held Dong's trembling hand, and said to Bai Qingyu: "I wonder if the prince has had breakfast? If you don't mind having some together?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers have used it before." Bai Qingyu didn't dare to take off her mask in front of her mother and eldest sister, and didn't dare to let them see her face.
Dong thought that Bai Qingyu was trying to hide her identity, so she nodded: "Since the prince has used it before, then I won't force it."
"My lord came here for the purpose of forming an alliance between the two countries..." Bai Qingyan asked with a serious look.
"Exactly, when the foreign minister heard that Li Zhijie, Yan Wang of Xiliang, came to pay a visit this morning, the foreign minister couldn't sit still," Bai Qingyu said.
Bai Qingyan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Wei Zhong, "Remove all of these, and lead people to retreat."
Wei Zhong understood that Bai Qing said that this was going to be a private conversation, so he took the maids and eunuchs to remove the breakfast, and everyone evacuated outside the hall to wait.
As soon as the door of the main hall was closed, Dong couldn't hold back the tears anymore, staring at Bai Qingyu straight away.
Bai Qingyan held her mother's hand tightly, and Dong covered her lips with a handkerchief, not daring to let herself cry.
Looking at each other, Bai Qingyan's eyes were also red. Seeing that Ayu's hand was tightly clenched on her lap, she patted Ayu's tightly clenched hand, and then lightly clenched it again. In the middle, it is good to be alive...to meet each other.
"Mother, sister..." Bai Qingyu's already hoarse voice became deeper and deeper.
This "A Niang" broke Dong's internal organs like a thousand knives, and made her feel heartbroken, but she didn't even dare to cry.
Her son is such a fresh and handsome son, his voice was originally so pleasant, how could he become like this, but apart from being sad, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but thank God for allowing Ayu to live and bring Ayu back ...
Bai Qingyan's tears were like broken threads, she squeezed Ayu's hand hard, forced a smile on her face, thanked the ancestors of the Bai family for protecting the members of the Bai family in the sky, and thanked God... for letting Ayu come back!
She wanted to touch Ayu's face, but his face was covered by a mask.
Bai Qingyu took Bai Qingyan's hand instead, squeezed it hard, stood up with tears in her eyes, bowed to her mother and elder sister, then lifted the hem of her clothes and knelt down, kowtowing heavily.
Bai Qingyu, the fifth son of the Bai family, is safe and sound...
These words are what Bai Qingyu wants to say the most, and what the Bai family want to hear the most.
But at this time...
Bai Qingyu couldn't speak.
He could only kowtow three times to A Niang and A Sister.
Dong couldn't bear it any longer, got up and rushed to Bai Qingyu's side, she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying even though her face was full of tears, she stretched out her trembling hand, wanting to touch it. He touched his son's face, but he didn't dare to take off his son's mask. He was afraid that if someone came in and saw it, he could only hold his son in his arms and hold him tight! I'm afraid that my son will disappear again, I'm afraid that this is just a dream like before, and when I wake up, there is nothing but herself.
Bai Qingyu gritted her teeth and hugged her mother...
When leaving home, A Niang wanted to hug him, but he felt that he had grown up and was impatient with A Niang hugging him.
But later, when he was in Rongdi, every time he dreamed back in the middle of the night, it was always A Niang's arms and sister's smiling face.
Today, he finally came back, but now is not the time to return to the capital safely.
He will use Rongdi and Xiliang as congratulatory gifts for Auntie's ascension to the throne. When the world is unified, on that day...he will come back and kneel in front of Aniang, Auntie and the Bai family, and say...it's all safe.
Today, I will give an update to the little ancestors, don't begrudge the monthly pass...
