Chapter 118 Mom's Gift
Xie Zhiruo has been to this banquet hall in Zhaoyang Palace many times before, so she is quite familiar with it. When you first walk outside the banquet hall, you can hear the lively sound inside. There is almost no banquet in Zhaoyang Palace now. In the past two years, no banquet has been held except to celebrate Xiao Che'er's birthday. Maybe this is also because there is no hostess in Zhaoyang Palace.
Originally, they were not qualified to participate in such a banquet like Fang'er. After all, they have been given to Mu Yunting by the queen, but Mu Yunting has not accepted them until now, so their current status is very embarrassing. However, when the queen saw that they were pitiful, she allowed them to come and participate, which was also a recognition of their current identity from the side. After all, they have always lived in the yard of Mu Yunting's former concubine.
As soon as Xie Zhiruo entered the banquet hall, she saw Fanger and Sun Luo, who were greeting the guests behind the queen. When she saw that the three people were still girl's headdresses, she felt even more unspeakable. Did Mu Yunting not touch the three of them at such a time?
And the protagonist of today's banquet was sitting quietly in his position, sticking out his little head and looking in the direction of the door. When he saw Mu Yunchen coming in, his big clear eyes were obviously bright. It was hoped that when he did not see Xie Zhiruo around Mu Yunchen, who had never been able to face, his eyes darkened in an instant. His mother Mom didn't come to his birthday party with his fourth uncle. He thought he would see his mother tonight.
The banquets in the palace are all the same. No matter what the reason is, the substance is almost the same. However, Mu Yunting knew that Xiao Cheer was young and would not like to enjoy singing and dancing at all, so he asked people to find some famous juggling outside to perform for Xiao Cheer.
Xiao Cheer was very happy to see such a novel expression for the first time. He laughed less in front of people, but he laughed many times at night. It can be seen that he is also very satisfied with Mu Yunting's arrangement.
The birthday banquet is still going on. Xiao Cheer is no longer interested in watching the performance before. When everyone didn't pay much attention to him, he sneaked out without being noticed.
And when no one paid attention, Xie Zhiruo also quietly retreated and followed Xiao Cheer's footsteps.
"Well, why didn't my mother come to my birthday party!" Xiao Cheer walked out of the banquet hall to the small garden not far away.
"The little son?" Xie Zhiru came forward and shouted softly when she saw that there was no one around.
Xiao Che'er looked back at the maid of honor doubtfully and frowned with some vigilance. The frown looked exactly the same as Mu Yunting!
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Looking at Xie Zhier, who is on alert, Xie Zhiruo is a little gratified but more heartache. It is gratified that her Cheer has a sense of self-protection, and she will have a guarded heart when she meets strangers. What is sad is that as Che'er's biological mother, she can't see him with her true face in front of people, and she has to do everything secretly.
"Don't be afraid, little boy. I brought gifts for your mother." Xie Zhiruo tried her best to make her expression look kind.
"Mom? Did my mother ask you to bring me a gift? When Xie Zhiruo mentioned the word mother, Xiao Che'er's gloomy eyes instantly lit up, and her previous defense against Xie Zhiruo was also thrown out of the sky.
"Yes, yes, does the little boy want it?"
"Think, think about it, I don't know what my mother sent to Xiao Che'er?" Xiao Cheer tilted her little head and thought about what good things her mother would send to him.
Looking at Xiao Cheer's expectant eyes, Xie Zhiruo felt a little embarrassed, because she felt that her gift was really out of hand. Compared with what those people gave to Xiao Cheer tonight, it was more than a difference!
"Yes, my mother said that she made this thing for Xiao Che'er herself..." Although she couldn't do it, Xie Zhiruo still took out the prepared gift from her arms and handed it to Xiao Che'er's eyes.
Xiao Cheer took the shape of accessories in Xie Zhiruo's hand, and her big eyes were full of doubts.
"Is this a gift from my mother?"
Xie Zhiruo looked at her baby son holding the lame Lian Xinpei she made for him in his hand and really had the impulse to find a hole to drill small. She also practiced a lot, but no matter what she did, she looked like this. Originally, she wanted to exchange something for a gift, but she felt that there was nothing more suitable for Xiao Cheer than this heart admiration. Even if she can't take it out, she has to give it. I hope her baby son doesn't dislike it too much.
"Well, this is Lian Xinpei. Mom said that even if you can't see her every day in the future, but when you see this Lian Xinpei, it is equivalent to seeing her!"
"Ha ha, I know. You bring my mother's gift for me, and I will reward you a lot!" Xiao Che'er said and patted Xie Zhiruo with a good posture.
Looking at the undisguised smile on Xiao Cheer's face, Xie Zhiruo's heart finally fell back to her stomach. She had been worried about whether Xiao Cheer would dislike what she sent. She didn't expect her baby son to be so sensible.
"Little son, little son..." A voice looking for Xiao Cheer came not far away.
"Okay, I also gave you this gift for my mother. I'll go first. Let's go find those people quickly. It's time to be anxious when it's late."
"Okay."
After saying that, Xiao Cheer walked away like those palace people looking for him.
"I'm just bored and go out. Do you need to be so nervous?"
The palace people who found Xiao Che'er exhaled in their hearts, but when they heard Xiao Che'er's adult-like words, everyone felt a little ashamed.
Xie Zhiruo covered her mouth and smiled behind the rockery. Her lovely son...
Xiao Cheer was taken to rest soon after being found. After all, it is not good for children to stay up late, and the banquet dispersed soon after.
In the dark night, two the same dark people are melting in the night.
"What, are you sure you want to go in person?" These two people in black were Mu Yunting and Mu Yunchen, who attended the banquet in the evening.
"Yes."
Mu Yunchen raised his eyebrows and was not talking. This time, they caught the sharp leader of Donghua. Mu Yunting was going to interrogate him in person.
"Now that you have decided, I have nothing to say." He knew that what Mu Yunting decided would not change so easily, so he did not intend to waste his saliva.
"It's just a few days. At that time, I will take Cheer to my palace. You can rest assured that my fourth uncle will not let my little nephew do anything."
Mu Yunting nodded, and then disappeared in the dark night between the last few jumps.
"What the fourth uncle said is that I can live with my mother these days? Don't you have to leave at night?" Mu Yunchen held Xiao Che'er's little hand and walked straight to the yard where Xie Zhiruo and Xiao Che'er played.
"Didn't the fourth uncle tell you just now? You can stay with the fourth uncle for three days, and you can also stay with your mother for three days. Mu Yunchen felt a little helpless in the face of Xiao Cheer's problem. The little guy didn't know how happy he was when he said that he could stay with Xie Zhiruo for a few nights without having to go back to Zhaoyang Palace. In order to ensure the credibility of what he said, he asked him five times along the way.
Although he already knew the answer, Xiao Cheer still smiled happily when he heard Mu Yunchen say it again, because he really wanted to stay with his mother! He has always brought the gifts given to him by his mother, but he can't let his father see them secretly!
After Xie Zhiruo knew that Xiao Cheer could come to live with her, her reaction was the same as that of Xiao Cheer, and she also asked Mu Yunchen directly many times.
"Mom... Xiao Che'er is here." As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Cheer couldn't wait to call out.
Xie Zhiruo, who was making his favorite egg tarts for Xiao Cheer, hurried out and hugged Xiao Cheer who ran to her.
"Che'er, do you miss your mother?" Pinching the little pink face, Xie Zhiruo asked with a smile.
"Of course I think about it. I really want it very much!"
"Ha ha... Well, looking at you so good, I feel like my fourth uncle is superfluous." Mu Yunchen said with some sadness.
"Em, let's go in."
The weather these days looks very good. After learning that Xiao Cheer can come to Mu Yunchen's palace, Xie Zhiruo thought about whether to take Xiao Cheer out to play. Now the weather is not too cold and there is wind. It's best to fly a kite at this time.
After obtaining Mu Yunchen's consent, Xie Zhiruo got up early on the third day to prepare some food that Xiao Cheer liked.
"Mom, where are we going to put paper kites?" Xiao Cheer, sitting in the carriage, looked at the big eagle-patterned kite in Xie Zhiruo's hand and asked curiously.
"It should be on the grass not far from the outskirts of the city." In fact, she was a little worried after she came out with Xiao Cheer. After all, Xiao Cheer's identity is not simple. What should she do if she encounters any dangerous situation at that time? She can't forget what happened two and a half years ago!
Looking at Xie Zhiruo, who was gradually frowning, Mu Yunchen knew what she was thinking and said with relief, "Don't worry so much. I have taken careful protection measures. It will be fine."
Xie Zhiruo was finally relieved by Mu Yunchen's guarantee, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
Soon they arrived at their destination. The address Mu Yunchen chose for them was a very open grassland. Although the grass on the grass has almost withered now, it still makes people feel open up.
