Hearing the other party's voice, the blood in Zhu Yunxuan's whole body seemed to have froze, and the hand on Min'er's waist gradually tightened. Min'er didn't notice it, but hesitantly wanted to but didn't dare to reach out to pick it up. Lantern until Zhu Yunxuan reminded him in a low voice: "If you want to, take it."
Only then did the little baby happily take the lantern, and thanked the other party obediently: "Thank you, Uncle."
Liang Zhen's gaze fell on Zhu Yunxuan's wrist, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger. Zhu Yunxuan came back to his senses, changed his hand to hold the child, pulled down his sleeves unobtrusively, nodded with him, without showing any emotion, and said calmly: "Thanks."
When passing by, Liang Zhen raised his hand to lightly block it, Zhu Yunxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the guard behind him immediately took a step forward, with his long sword drawn halfway, watching Liang Zhen vigilantly.
Liang Zhen let out a "tsk", and stared at Zhu Yunxuan with a good eye, only to see that his eyelashes were half closed, and all the emotions were sunk in his eyes, and he couldn't see clearly.
After a brief stalemate, Liang Zhen moved away, and Zhu Yunxuan hugged the child and walked forward without looking back.
Min'er lay on Zhu Yunxuan's shoulder and turned her head, staring blankly at Liang Zhen who had been standing there watching them go away, as if she had sensed the change in Zhu Yunxuan's mood, the little baby called him timidly: "Little uncle …”
Zhu Yunxuan patted him on the back and comforted him softly: "It's okay."
"Uncle is watching us."
"… Um."
After that, Zhu Yunxuan walked around the market absent-mindedly with the child in his arms for more than half an hour, and finally met Zhu Yunjing and the others in front of a juggling stall. Zhu Yunjing saw that he was happy at the beginning, but now he looked devastated and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
Min'er was holding up his rabbit lantern to show off to Ming'er: "Look at my little rabbit lantern, it's so cute, it was given to me by an uncle."
Zhu Yunjing: "..."
He looked at the restless Zhu Yunxuan, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, only reminded him: "Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look."
Going forward, you will reach the seaside. As the night gets darker, everyone flocks here and puts sky lanterns on the beach to pray for blessings.
The slowly rising sky lanterns flickered brightly, continuously drifting towards the black night sky, shining like stars.
Min'er tilted her head up, staring intently at the sky lanterns floating farther and farther away, and exclaimed from time to time. Zhu Yunjing and He Huailing had already led Ming'er to light the lamp, the child took Zhu Yunxuan's hand and looked at him longingly: "Little uncle, I also want to light the lamp."
Zhu Yunxuan suppressed the turbulent thoughts in his heart and nodded: "Okay."
Walking to the stall selling sky lanterns, Zhu Yunxuan asked for paper and a pen, but he didn't know what to write when he picked up the pen. After a moment of silence, he asked the child in a low voice: "Jiner, do you have any wishes?"
The child thought about it carefully, then shook his head again, Zhu Yunxuan sighed softly, and in the end only wrote the words "Haiyan Heqing" on the paper.
Handed the pen back to the stall owner. The moment the other party caught it, Zhu Yunxuan was stunned again. At some point, the person opposite was replaced by the man wearing the mask. He had already taken the pen and paper from Zhu Yunxuan's hand and smiled. With a smile, I added three words "good day" on the back of the note.
Handing the sky lantern tied with a blessing note to Zhu Yunxuan, Liang Zhen blinked and disappeared into the crowd in an instant. Zhu Yunxuan stood there in a daze, until Min'er next to him called him softly, and then came back to his senses in a trance.
"Uncle, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing... let's go, let's go ahead and put up the sky lantern."
It was almost Haishi when we returned to the General Military Mansion, Tired of playing, he fell asleep lying in Zhu Yunxuan's arms in the car, Zhu Yunxuan carried him out of the car and handed him to Zhu Yunjing, Zhu Yunjing didn't pick him up, Reminding him: "Don't you want to take him to sleep with you? Anyway, he is asleep right now, you just carry him to your place."
Zhu Yunxuan glanced at the child in his arms, then shook his head slightly: "Forget it, if he wakes up later, he might cry if he doesn't see you."
"You, you just think too much."
The two of them were talking, and the little baby had already woken up rubbing his eyes. He saw Zhu Yunxuan in a daze, and subconsciously grabbed his arm. Uncle, will you sleep with me?"
Only then did the child wake up completely, glanced at Zhu Yunxuan, then turned to look at Zhu Yunjing, hesitated for a long time, then nodded: "Okay."
Zhu Yunxuan hugged the child tightly, Zhu Yunjing said with a smile: "Let me just say, if you take him all night, he will be willing to get close to you now."
Zhu Yunxuan smiled with red eyes: "Yes."
After carrying the child back to the residence, Zhu Yunxuan was still in a daze, but Gao An was overjoyed, and quickly directed the people to wait on Zhu Yunxuan and the little prince to wash and change clothes, showing great hospitality.
"Your Highness, are you still hungry? Do you want to have a late-night snack? Can this servant go and ask someone to make it for you?"
Sitting in Zhu Yunxuan's arms, Xi'er looked at Gao An, who was smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what the other party was talking to him, and looked up at Zhu Yunxuan: "Little uncle, who is he? ?”
Zhu Yunxuan caressed his son's little face with a funny face, and told Gao An: "Go to the kitchen and see for yourself, the cooks here should know what Min'er likes to eat, bring some food here, don't make too much, or eat too much After a while he couldn't sleep again."
"No! This servant is going now!
Min'er twisted her body in Zhu Yunxuan's arms, and asked him in a low voice: "Little uncle, did you give me those little rabbits and dogs made of bamboo?"
Zhu Yunxuan patted his head: "Yu'er knows?"
"Daddy said..."
"Do you like it?"
"I like it!" The child nodded vigorously.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and told him: "My little uncle gave it to my Min'er, but those things were not made by my little uncle, but...an uncle made it for my Min'er."
Chu'er blinked slightly: "Which uncle?"
"Xiao'er will know in the future." Zhu Yunxuan squeezed the child's palm lightly, without further explanation.
The kitchen brought over a small bowl of custard, and Zhu Yunxuan held the baby and slowly fed it to him spoonful by spoonful. Min'er stared at him for a while, and when Zhu Yunxuan brought the food to his mouth again, she murmured in a low voice: "Little uncle eats too, so don't be unhappy little uncle."
Zhu Yunxuan suddenly came back to his senses, and forced a smile on his face: "My little uncle is not hungry, and my little uncle is not unhappy, why would you say that?"
The child pouted: "Yu'er guessed, the little uncle is not happy to see that uncle at night..."
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Miner, who was only three years old, would be so sensitive. Being exposed by his son, he felt more and more embarrassed, but he didn't want to admit it: "No, my little uncle is very happy to have Min'er by his side."
"Really?"
"real."
After feeding the child, Zhu Yunxuan took the hot handkerchief handed over by the servant, wiped the child's face with his own hands, Min'er remained motionless, and obediently let him move, and finally grinned sweetly at him: "Thank you little uncle. "
Zhu Yunxuan's heart softened: "Good boy."
Huo'er put her arms around his neck, pressed it against his neck, gave him a hard kiss on the face, and after she was done, she shyly slipped into his arms and said coquettishly, "Ji'er likes little uncle very much."
The smile in Zhu Yunxuan's eyes deepened, he bowed his head, and printed a kiss on the child's soft and tender face: "Little uncle also likes Xiao'er."
After being carried to bed, the little guy was still very excited, tossing and turning and refusing to sleep, he grabbed Zhu Yunxuan's arm and asked him to tell him a story.
Zhu Yunxuan patted him on the back and said slowly: "Once upon a time there was a little rabbit..."
"Rabbit!" As soon as he heard the rabbit, the little guy's eyes lit up immediately.
"Well, the little rabbit is a lonely little rabbit. Other rabbits have daddies, but he doesn't. He always asks why I don't have a daddy. No one can answer him. In fact, he also has a daddy, his rabbit daddy." In the moon palace, when the time comes, he will come and take him to the moon palace too, but the rabbit father is very worried, he doesn't know if the little rabbit will go with him, he is afraid that the little rabbit will not want him, Xiaoer, you say little Rabbit, is he willing to go to the Moon Palace with Rabbit Daddy?"
The child stared blankly, and then nodded lightly after a long time: "I'm going."
Zhu Yunxuan had a sore nose, smiled and kissed his forehead: "Good baby."
Zhu'er stared at him with bright black eyes, and asked cautiously, "Little uncle, are you my father?"
Seeing the child's expectant and apprehensive eyes, Zhu Yunxuan was slightly taken aback, and said, "Do you want me to be your father?"
The child flattened his mouth in grievance, and his eyes slowly turned red: "I already have a father, but the mother said that my father is not my father, oh..."
Zhu Yunxuan hugged the child into his arms, blamed himself and felt distressed, choked up and said: "Ji'er don't cry anymore. You're good. If you have a father, I'm your real father. Daddy is here to pick you up and go to the Moon Palace." , Can you go with Daddy?"
"Why didn't Daddy want to have a baby before?"
The little child was crying out of breath in his arms. Zhu Yunxuan sat up, hugged him, and coaxed him while patting him on the back: "Daddy's good baby, don't cry, it's Daddy who is bad!" , from now on, Daddy will never abandon Miner again."
Outside the door, Zhu Yunjing stopped in his tracks. He came here specially to see the worrying one big and one small. Hearing the faint voice coming from inside, Zhu Yunjing smiled and sighed, and didn't push the door to go in again. After a moment, he turned and left.
Inside the inn, Liang Zhen leaned against the window, quietly looking in the direction of the General Military Mansion, with only faintly visible lights in his eyes.
The night diffused into his pitch-black eyes, covering up all the hidden emotions.
Someone opened the door and came in to bring him tea. Seeing him like this, he hesitated and asked, "Major General, we have been here for almost two months. When will we go back?"
Liang Zhen closed his eyes and smiled, "What's the rush, the matter is not over yet."
