Chapter 242 Thoughts
"There is a place where people like to eat a kind of fish called sardines, especially live fish. However, this kind of fish is lazy by nature and can easily die of suffocation during transportation..."
Qin Mingqi told the story he remembered, and the First Emperor listened to it with great interest. It turned out that children can be taught by putting big truths into these small stories.
Deep in his memory, the First Emperor seemed to remember something vaguely. He envied from the bottom of his heart such a child who had the protection of his parents.
"Your Majesty, I have finished speaking. Please tell me whether I am right or not?"
Qin Mingqi saw that he had finished speaking and he was in a daze.
"Yes, that's right. It's late today. Go to bed early. You can go hunting with me tomorrow."
"Here!"
A group of people followed Qi Le downstairs. The originally lively room suddenly became much quieter. The First Emperor poured himself a glass of wine and walked to the window.
Looking at the bright moon outside the window, he was drinking alone and humming a tune. If older people were present, they would definitely recognize that it was the song that Zhao State used to play to put children to sleep.
The person who once protected him as he grew up, ended up being the one who stabbed him the deepest, so that he will trust others throughout his life.
The happiest moments in his life were few and far between. Seeing Qin Yue and the others looking carefree made him extremely envious. If possible, he actually hoped that Qin Xingfu would appear before he was born. In that case, would he be happier in his life?
In Science City, the lights in Qin Xingfu's office remained on until midnight. Qin Xingfu put down his pen, rubbed his neck and waist, packed up all the documents, turned off the lights and returned to his rest room.
When he turned on the light, he saw someone on the bed and was awakened by the light.
"Why didn't you go home? Are you waiting for me?"
Qin Xingfu closed the door, walked to the bed and asked.
"No, I went back. The children were left behind by the Emperor. I was not used to it, so I came here."
Gongshu Yuan stood up and helped her get her pajamas.
"Oh~ Nothing happened today?"
Qin Xingfu was worried that the children would talk nonsense and make the First Emperor angry.
"No, they went there in the afternoon. His Majesty tested their riding and archery skills, and they received rewards. Han Jing got the saddle that His Majesty had used in his battles, and Qin Shan and Qin Chuan got the bows and arrows that he had used. I heard that one of them was made by the former king himself."
While he was talking, Qin Xingfu had already taken off her clothes and took the pajamas from his hand.
"It's OK as long as it's nothing. Go to sleep. I'll take a shower and be back soon."
"Well, I'll wait for you!"
It wasn't just Gongshu Yuan who had trouble sleeping tonight. Yue Xin and the others couldn't sleep either. It was the first time since the children grew up that they didn't spend the night at home. Qin Xingfu was not there either, which made them feel that this home was so desolate.
It was late at night, the moonlight was pouring down like water, illuminating the earth. Figures quietly got up from the bed, rubbed their eyes, and walked to the window.
Under the moonlight, several people came to the table at the door of Qin Xingfu's room and sat down, gently picked up the wine glasses, and drank towards the bright moon. Looking around, it seemed that someone was missing, but Gongshu Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
"He went to see his master."
Xu He's voice suddenly sounded, explaining Gongshu Yuan's whereabouts. Yue Xin shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.
"Then there are only a few of us." Ying Bu said with emotion.
"Days like this are rare. Come on, let's have a drink together!" Ying Bu raised his glass and suggested. Everyone responded and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
"There's braised pig's head in the kitchen, I'll go cut some." Ying Hou stood up and walked towards the kitchen with great interest. Seeing this, Ying Bu hurriedly followed to help.
Mi Fu yawned, sat down slowly, and said with a smile: "Gongshu Yuan is really smart. He knew that the children were not here and went to find the adults."
"After all, he is still young. In a few years, he won't have to go through so much trouble." Tan Yao drank his tea calmly, but he was worried about the children's situation in the palace.
At this time, the children who were being missed had already fallen asleep and were sleeping soundly, without any worries about being shy.
"It's rare that the Emperor likes this. Is this the first time that the Emperor has invited the children to stay overnight?"
Yue Xin was worried that such an action would put the children on too high a pedestal, as neither the Crown Prince nor Master Dening deserved such treatment.
Mi Fu took a sip of wine and then put down the cup.
"It seems so. Perhaps it's due to the help of Ying Hui and the others."
They all knew how favored Hu Hai had been. Ying Hui was sweet-spoken, so he would surely be favored by the emperor as well.
Queen Ying and Ying Bu came over with the dishes. When Ying Bu saw that everyone was there, he spoke to them.
"That Zhao Gao died today. He was angered to death. Haha..."
This question immediately attracted the attention of several people, and they were all waiting for his next words.
"The old man is old, and his health is not very good after he fell during the Chinese New Year. He doesn't even have a servant. As soon as he received his pension, his children came to ask for it. His family had a quarrel about splitting up before..."
They all disliked the people and things that Qin Xingfu hated. They originally wanted to take revenge, but she stopped them when she found out. So they only tricked Yan Le.
Several people were chatting together and having a great time.
Qin Xingfu was exhausted after a whole day of mental work. After taking a bath, she began to take care of her skin seriously, hoping to relax herself. However, at this moment, Gongshu Yuan quietly walked behind her and gently hugged her.
“I’m really tired today!”
Qin Xingfu sighed and said, because she had overused her brain, she no longer had the energy to think about other things.
"I won't disturb you. I will feel more at ease just holding you like this. I am always worried whether the children will kick off the quilt when they sleep at night. They are still young and need our care."
Gongshu Yuan said softly.
"Don't worry too much. The children have many older brothers and sisters who will take good care of them."
Qin Xingfu comforted.
After completing the skin care, Qin Xingfu couldn't help but yawn, then pulled Gongshu Yuan towards the bed.
"Okay, it's time to rest. We still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow. If you are still worried about the children, you can go back tomorrow to spend more time with them."
The two of them lay on the bed, hugging each other tightly. Gongshu Yuan could only feel a little relieved when he hugged her. He kissed her forehead gently and said softly.
"Good night!"
But Qin Xingfu threw her seductive eyes to the blind man and fell asleep with her head stuck to the pillow. Gongshu Yuan noticed that her hair was still wet, so he gently helped her dry it.
Looking at his hands, Gongshu Yuan felt like laughing. The skills he used to use for fighting and saving his life were now being used to coax her hair. However, he was happy with it.
Some people think grape juice is sour and say they are freeloaders, so what? Some people don’t have this blessing yet.
As he was thinking, Gongshu Yuan fell asleep, and Qin Xingfu beside him frowned in his sleep.
