Chapter 124 Father's Body
She had neglected a lot before because she was so happy, but now when she thought about it carefully, Yu Yanran's steps were natural and she didn't look like she was receiving a favor at all.
Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let Yu Yanran sleep on the floor as he did before?
Thinking of this, Nanny Feng opened the cabinet and checked, and found that the bedding in the cabinet did not seem to have been moved.
A thought came to my mind: Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has some unspeakable secret?
Sleeping in the same bed with a woman but nothing happening seems abnormal no matter how you look at it.
With doubts, Nanny Feng came to the outer room.
At this time, Yu Yanran had finished washing and was putting on makeup.
Nanny Feng didn't say anything. She waited aside until Yu Yanran finished putting on her makeup. After she sent the maid away, she asked, "Miss Yu, did you sleep in the same bed with the Crown Prince last night?"
"Yeah." Yu Yanran nodded with a red face.
"Then does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have..."
After a blushing conversation, Nanny Feng roughly understood what happened last night.
Before coming to the East Palace, Yu Yanran was specially taught by the old maid, and she took the initiative last night.
But Zhao Xing still didn't touch her last night.
After listening to this, Nanny Feng frowned and left the East Palace and went to the Imperial Palace.
……
When Zhao Xing finished his martial arts practice and returned to Chaoyang Palace, he learned that Yu Yanran had already returned to her own courtyard.
So he asked someone to call her over to have breakfast with him.
After waiting for a while, Yu Yanran finally arrived at Chaoyang Palace.
Seeing Yu Yanran's red eyes, as if she had been crying, Zhao Xing was stunned and frowned, "What's wrong? Did Aunt Feng punish you?"
He had previously instructed Madam Feng to let Yu Yanran sleep a little longer. Madam Feng had been in the palace for so many years, it was impossible for her not to hear the hidden meaning in his words, so how could she punish Yu Yanran?
"No." Yu Yanran quickly shook her head.
"Then why are your eyes crying?" Zhao Xing asked.
"I'm not crying, there's sand in my eyes." Yu Yanran said in a low voice.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Zhao Xing raised his voice a little.
There's even sand in it. Are you thinking I'm a fool?
Yu Yanran's personality is a bit weak to put it nicely, and she is submissive to put it bluntly. Seeing that Zhao Xing was a little angry, she was afraid and lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, do you dislike me?"
Zhao Xing didn't touch her last night, and she didn't think much about it at first.
But when she returned to the hospital, Mother Xu saw that she was normal and felt something was wrong, so she asked about what happened last night.
Although Yu Yanran was shy, she still spoke out the story in bits and pieces when asked by Xu's mother.
After listening to this, Mother Xu came to the conclusion that Zhao Xing didn't like Yu Yanran.
After hearing this, Yu Yanran started crying.
For women in ancient times, the education they received from childhood was the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.
The husband guides his wife.
As a woman, it is natural to be very sad if you cannot be liked by your man.
Zhao Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. He sent away all the maids and eunuchs who were serving in the room, looked at Yu Yanran who was standing there with her head lowered, and said, "Come here."
Yu Yanran raised her head and glanced at Zhao Xing, tears still in her eyes, but she still walked forward obediently and stopped a few steps away.
"Move a little closer." Zhao Xing said.
Yu Yanran took a few steps forward after hearing this.
Zhao Xing reached out and took Yu Yanran's hand, and with a little force, Yu Yanran fell into his arms.
"I didn't favor you last night, not because I don't like you, but because you are too young." Zhao Xing leaned close to Yu Yanran's ear and said.
Feeling the heat coming from her ears, Yu Yanran's ears turned red.
Yu Yanran looked up at Zhao Xing and said, "But I have already reached the age of marriage."
Zhao Xing: "..."
Okay, what he just said was a little stupid.
In Yu Yanran’s or everyone’s mind, a girl’s coming of age means she has reached adulthood and can get married and have children.
"Just remember that I don't dislike you. Don't think too much about it, okay?" Zhao Xing lifted her chin and looked into her eyes.
"Yeah." Yu Yanran blushed and looked evasive. Seeing Yu Yanran's cute appearance, Zhao Xing was a little impulsive and lowered his head to kiss her.
Yu Yanran was stunned for a while before she closed her eyes.
After a long while, Zhao Xing released Yu Yanran, panting heavily, and said, "Okay, come and have dinner with me."
Yu Yanran came back to her senses and got up from Zhao Xing's arms in a panic.
……
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
After dinner, Zhao Xing wanted to take a walk and chat with Yu Yanran to make her feel completely at ease, but his father sent someone to call him to the palace.
"I heard that you kept Mr. Yu's granddaughter in bed with you last night, but did not favor her. Fu'er, tell me the truth, do you have any unspeakable secrets?" The emperor said in a serious tone.
He only has one son, Zhao Xing, and he is counting on Zhao Xing to carry on the family line. Otherwise, he would not have let Yu Yanran go to the Eastern Palace early.
Before, Zhao Xing did not favor palace maids, and he was relieved about it, thinking that Zhao Xing was very self-controlled.
But Zhao Xing had called Yu Yanran to talk to him several times at the polo match before, and it was obvious that he liked her.
The emperor would not be happy if he did not favor Yu Yanran.
Zhao Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Father, I really have no problem. I just feel that I am still young and I am afraid of hurting my body. Don't worry, I will definitely let you hold your grandson in a few years."
"Are you telling the truth?" The emperor said in disbelief, "Fuer, you are the crown prince, and having children is of great importance. If you really have any health problems, don't be afraid to seek medical treatment. The imperial doctors in the palace are very skilled and will definitely be able to cure you."
"Father, what I said is true. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and I am very strong. What could be the problem?" Zhao Xing said helplessly.
I always feel weird talking about this issue with others, even my own father.
"Then... ahem..."
Before the official finished speaking, he started coughing violently.
"Father, are you okay?"
Zhao Xing hurried forward to caress his father's back and shouted, "Someone, go get the imperial physician."
"I... cough cough... I'm fine... cough... I'm fine, no need to call the imperial physician."
The official coughed for a while, felt better, and stopped Zhao Xing.
"Father, let's ask the imperial physician to come and see you."
Zhao Xing noticed that although his father had stopped coughing, his face looked pale, and he said worriedly.
The official looked at Eunuch Liu and said, "All of you go down."
"Yes!" Eunuch Liu responded and retreated with the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall.
"Fuer, sit down and talk."
The official moved to the side to make room for Zhao Xing and said.
"Father, are you hiding something from me?" Zhao Xing asked as he sat down.
Calculating the time, it seems that only a few years have passed since the emperor passed away in the original drama.
Although the emperor's death at that time was partly the reason for Prince Yan's rebellion.
But the emperor's health was actually failing at that time, and Prince Yan's rebellion could only be regarded as a catalyst.
Although he did not die young in this time and space, his father's health was very poor due to overwork over the years and the loss of several children.
My father is only in his early fifties now, but he looks very old.
"I won't hide it from you. I feel my health has been getting worse over the years. That's why I'm so anxious to see you have children." The emperor smiled with a calm expression.
"Father!" Zhao Xing's eyes reddened when he heard that.
Although his father was a little weak and not tough enough, Zhao Xing disagreed with many of his father's ways of doing things.
But his father's feelings for him were real, and Zhao Xing could feel the deep fatherly love in him.
"Don't cry!" The emperor rubbed Zhao Xing's head and smiled, "You are the crown prince, the future emperor of the Song Dynasty, how can you cry! I can still hold on for a few more years. You are still young now, and I am worried."
"Father, you will definitely live a long life. Don't work so hard in the future. Get more rest." Zhao Xing said while holding back tears.
"If you don't want me to work so hard, just leave your bloodline earlier. Then I will pass the throne to you earlier and you can enjoy the days of playing with your grandchildren." The emperor said with a smile.
He had no attachment to the throne. If Zhao Xing were a few years older now, he really wanted to pass the throne to Zhao Xing, live a leisurely life and protect Zhao Xing.
