Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 416 Father and Daughter

"Ruqing!"

A burly figure stepped into Prince Rui's Mansion, and under the leadership of his servants, walked quickly towards Leng Ruqing's courtyard.

"Father?!"

Leng Ruqing was learning embroidery from her grandmother in the courtyard. When she heard Leng Hong's voice, she was surprised and happy.

"Father, you entered the capital so soon?!"

"When I found out you were pregnant, I couldn't wait to fly here and traveled all night to see my baby girl!"

Leng Hong supported her, with a bright smile on his weathered face: "Girl, you are going to be a mother. Why are you acting so recklessly? Be careful."

"I am so happy to see my father!"

Leng Ruqing grabbed his arm, her eyes shining: "Father, I am learning to be a female worker. Look, how is this tiger head hat made?"

Grabbing the hat that had just begun to take shape on the table, Leng Ruqing looked at Leng Hong expectantly.

"My daughter did it, of course it's good!"

Leng Hong's eyes were gentle, but his expression was a little complicated.

His free and unrestrained daughter, now confined to this small courtyard, has begun to make tactful gestures like ordinary women, and has begun to imitate female workers.

I wonder if she would feel depressed on days like this.

"Father, you must be tired. Come into the room and say something."

Leng Ruqing pulled him into the house.

Asang brought a cup of tea to Leng Hong. He glanced at Asang and then sighed.

"Asang has lost weight, and Ruqing, you have lost weight too."

He looked at Leng Ruqing: "How are you doing here?"

"pretty good."

"There is also Lin Xiuyi in his mansion, are you really good at it?"

"Murong Yao has no intention of her. He gets closer to me every day. He has never spent the night at her place until now." Leng Ruqing said with emotion, "Although I don't like Lin Xiuyi, sometimes I feel that being a woman is really pitiful."

Ah Sang reminded her.

"Princess, that one is not a cheap person. Why do you have to sympathize with her?"

"I heard that she didn't want to marry Prince Rui at first. She was forced to do so."

Leng Hong remained silent.

He knew that Emperor Renjing wanted Prince Rui to marry Lin Xiuyi more than Leng Ruqing.

He could also guess the reason.

The emperor was really suspicious.

He smiled.

"Anyway, if Prince Rui treats you well, then I'll rest assured. When you give birth to a son, you can take him to Hanyang to see him. His father will take him riding a horse and teach him hunting, and let him taste the strongest wine in Hanyang." !”

Leng Ruqing is dissatisfied.

"Father, do you prefer boys?"

"Silly girl, if I am a son, I won't have to leave your side to marry someone else in the future. Then you won't have to be as reluctant to part with your child as your father is."

Leng Ruqing's heart instantly overflowed with sadness.

Just as he was about to speak, Leng Hong stood up.

"I'm in Beijing this time, but I haven't gone to see the emperor yet. I have to go to the palace to see the emperor first, and then I'll come see you."

"it is good."

Leng Hong led his entourage out of Leng Ruqing's yard.

As soon as he walked out, he saw Murong Yao walking towards this side.

"Father-in-law."

"Prince Rui."

Leng Hong also smiled.

Murong Yao was a little confused: "Why did you leave so quickly? Have you seen Ruqing?"

"I just had a few words with her, but I have to go into the palace to see the emperor first, and I can't delay any longer."

Before the vassal king is allowed to enter the capital, he must first go to see the emperor.

He was so anxious about his daughter that he came to visit Leng Ruqing first, which was already a bit inappropriate.

Murong Yao: "I have something to think about..."

"Prince Rui, please wait until I come back to talk about anything else."

Leng Hong interrupted him and left quickly.

After entering the palace, Leng Hong waited for a long time before being summoned by Emperor Renjing.

Walking into the imperial study room, Leng Hong was stunned for a moment.

Compared to the last time we met, Emperor Renjing was much older and haggard.

There were sunken eyes on the originally scholarly face, and when he looked over, he looked a bit sinister.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

"Cough cough~"

Emperor Renjing coughed twice: "You have traveled thousands of miles to come here. It can be seen that you really like this little daughter. Have you met Leng Ruqing?"

"Yes, I really miss my daughter so much that I went to Prince Rui's Mansion to meet her and ask the Emperor to forgive me."

"It's reasonable that you father and daughter haven't seen each other for many days."

After saying that, Emperor Renjing coughed twice more.

Leng Hong looked concerned: "Your Majesty, your body..."

"I'm fine. I've been plagued by inner demons recently, which has caused me to be in a bad state of mind. I've invited some Taoist priests to come over and practice spiritual practice, and I'm feeling better."

"Your Majesty, these are all illusions. I don't think you can indulge in them..."

Halfway through, he realized that Emperor Renjing's face was a little unsightly.

Leng Hong spoke for a moment and then immediately stopped talking.

He felt that the emperor had changed.

Become sensitive and irritable.

Emperor Renjing waved his hand and motioned for the others to step back.

When only two people were left, he slowly spoke.

"I am also very happy that Princess Rui is pregnant. After all, she is my little imperial grandson. But when Prince Rui allows you to come to the capital, he should not just ask you to come and meet Leng Ruqing, right?"

Leng Hong was silent, but his heart was hanging.

Sure enough, Emperor Renjing said.

"You should know that Prince Rui is not content with just being a prince. He has the support of Prince Rong behind him, and now he is your son-in-law. Don't you want him to be more than ten thousand people in the future?"

"The Emperor's clear warning!"

Leng Hong knelt down in an instant: "I am completely loyal to you! Not to mention that you are still alive now. To say the least, you have already appointed the crown prince. After you, the crown prince will naturally ascend the throne. When will it be his turn? King Rui is above all others!"

Emperor Renjing smiled.

"I'm just joking, don't be so nervous."

"The emperor was joking with me, but my words came from the bottom of my heart!"

Emperor Renjing was silent for a few seconds, then stood up from the dragon chair and walked to Leng Hong's side.

He reached out and patted his shoulder.

"You and I have known each other for decades. I know your temperament, so I naturally trust you."

He sighed softly: "If Prince Rui could think like you, I wouldn't be so worried."

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui is young and vigorous. He may have offended you in some way and made you unhappy. However, I feel that... he should not dare to have any serious thoughts."

Emperor Renjing just said coldly.

He didn't answer, but said.

"You have come all the way, and I have ordered a banquet to be prepared in the Imperial Garden. We, the monarchs and ministers, will have a drink and talk."

"Yes."

Leng Hong followed Emperor Renjing to the Imperial Garden.

He ate this meal absentmindedly.

Although Emperor Renjing's tone was kind, there was always a hint of temptation in his words.

By the time the meal was finished, it was already dark.

Leng Hong left in a hurry.

He went to Prince Rui's Mansion, but was told that Leng Ruqing had rested.

"Your Majesty, Princess Leng has been a little sleepy since she became pregnant. Maybe she was a little tired from studying with grandma in the afternoon, so she ate something in the evening and then lay down."

Leng Hong nodded, turned around and retreated.

Outside the courtyard, Murong Yao was already waiting with people.

"Father-in-law, I have ordered people to clean up the yard for you in the east wing. In the next few days, you can rest well in the house and see Ruqing more often."

"Marrying in the capital, although she didn't say it, I can tell that she misses you very much in her heart. You and your daughter have not seen each other for so long, so you should have a lot to say."
