After Xiao Ran's fever subsided, he stayed in the palace to rest. Although he had already woken up, his heart attack and physical illness caused his illness to come back and forth again and again. This made the imperial physician helpless and could only report truthfully to Emperor Xixuan.
After the morning court today, Emperor Xixuan appeared in front of Xiao Ran's couch.
Xiao Ran's expression was desolate at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When he looked up, he suddenly saw his father standing beside the couch. He was stunned for a moment, then wanted to stand up and salute, "I don't know if the father is coming, my son is disrespectful."
Emperor Xixuan walked up, held his shoulders, and said warmly, "You don't have to be in good health, so you don't need to be more polite, just lie down and talk!"
Only then did Xiao Ran straighten up and lean on the bed wall, and said with a guilty conscience, "Father, why are you here?"
I don't know how much my father saw how much I lost my way just now.
Emperor Xixuan sat down on the chair brought by the palace servant, looked at him, and said slowly, "The imperial doctor said that your condition is repeated, and it is difficult to treat. The father is worried about you, and he will come over after the next day."
Xiao Ran's face was full of guilt, "It's the useless son and minister that makes the father, mother and concubine worry."
"You don't have to blame yourself, if you say it's a physical illness, then take your medicine." Having said this, Emperor Xixuan considered his tone before opening his mouth, "But the imperial doctor said that you have a heart disease, and a heart disease needs heart medicine. Doctor, you can tell the royal father, what are you worried about? Maybe the royal father can help you solve it."
Xiao Ran was shocked to meet his father's loving eyes, and after listening to his gentle and enticing voice, he suddenly wanted to tell him what was on his mind.
From childhood to adulthood, the mother-in-law was like a strict gentleman. He asked him to do the best in everything. She arranged for him to learn all the homework and skills, and asked him to the highest standard.
Compared with the strict encouragement of the mother and the concubine, the father is more like a good teacher and friend. He will discuss and share anything with the father, so the relationship between him and the father is more intimate.
It's just that he was ashamed to say it at this time, because the person he liked was the fiancee in name of the first emperor's brother. He was afraid that his father would accuse him of being ignorant of human relations, and he was hesitating in his heart.
Emperor Xixuan could see the hesitation of his fourth son. In front of him, this son was more like a blank piece of paper, and he had not been exposed to any exaggeration. He had dealt with civil and military officials, harem concubines, and descendants of the royal family. , My heart is full of twists and turns, and I need to be on guard at all times, so I prefer Xiao Ran, who is more like him, just like Bai Zhi.
"Do you still need to hide in front of the father?" Emperor Xixuan stroked his beard and looked at him with an encouraging expression.
Xiao Ran hesitated for a while, and finally decided to find someone to talk to about his suffering.
Over the years, he has never told the second person about his secret love for Qingyan and his guilt for the eldest brother.
"Father, Erchen fell in love with a girl. Five years ago, Erchen was young and frivolous. Relying on his own identity, he did not take others seriously, so the first time he met her was very dramatic, and Erchen almost taught him a lesson. She, but," he fell into the memory, his whole face filled with a smile, "she is a very smart and agile girl, she is not afraid of me because of my son's identity, on the contrary, she taught my son a lesson. pause."
He shook his head, as if he was very helpless to who he was at the time, "Erchen was definitely not convinced at that time, but I didn't expect that she was poisoned because of Erchen, and Erchen felt very guilty, and the second time he was assassinated because of someone She was implicated, again and again, Erchen brought her many disasters, but she never blamed Erchen for this, so Erchen began to pay attention to her."
Emperor Xixuan listened quietly, the son in front of him, as soon as he opened the chatterbox, he couldn't stop it, as if he could not find a way to vent after holding it in his heart for a long time.
"Of course, I was just curious about her at that time, thinking about her small body, how could she have so many great truths, sensible and smart, and gradually, we became friends," Xiao Ran raised his head Looking at Emperor Xixuan, there was a little excitement in his eyes, "Father, do you know? It turns out that having a friend is like this. It is very happy to have the same blessings and difficulties. I used to think that I didn't need friends until I met a friend. After I got on her, I realized that there are many things in the world that Erchen has never touched before, it is so novel."
His eyes were bright and clear, and Emperor Xixuan was surprised. Rao had raised him for so many years, but he had never seen him like this.
"The more I get along with her, the more Erchen appreciates her. Gradually, she slowly changes in Erchen's heart. When she sees her, her heart beats faster, her face turns red and hot, she can't help but get nervous when she talks to her, and she is very concerned about her presence in her. The image in front of her, and she will always pay attention to her. Her frowns and smiles can make Erchen cherish in her heart for a long time. Until the five years of separation, Erchen relied on those memories to miss her, and now she is back. Now, Erchen realizes that he can't let go of her for a long time."
Xiao Ran spoke every word, and was extremely serious and solemn, but he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.
Seeing the appearance of his youngest son, Emperor Xixuan, as a past person, could already see that his love was deeply rooted, and when he thought of that person's identity, Emperor Xixuan felt that his whole head began to hurt.
"The girl you mentioned is not Chu Qingyan of Xiao Xu's family, right!"
Xiao Ran was startled, he didn't expect that the royal father would know about it!
But when he thought that his father was the smartest person he knew, he was not surprised.
He touched his nose, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly at his father, "Father, if the person Erchen said was her, would you be angry? Erchen actually disregarded human relations and fell in love with his future sister-in-law. ."
Emperor Xixuan sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "Ran'er, you, you, why are you so confused?"
Xiao Ran lowered his head and retorted, "Father, I can't control emotional matters. It has to be tempted, and I can't control it. I can only watch myself fall soberly."
Emperor Xixuan was speechless by what he said, because he could feel this feeling, who wasn't emotional when he was young
The two were silent for a while, as if they both needed time to figure this out.
After a while, Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head, "Father, I have a question for you."
When Xiao Ran was confused in the past, he always came to ask him for advice, so Emperor Xixuan nodded and motioned him to say it.
Xiao Ran took a deep breath, and then asked an irrelevant question, "Father, if there is something you really want, what would you do?"
Emperor Xixuan said without hesitation, "Look for ways to get it."
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Xixuan reacted with a "squeak" in his heart, what was he asking.
I saw Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, bright and compelling!
