Chapter 195: The Brothers' Return
Chapter 195: The Brothers' Return
After a good night's rest, the Qi King strolled around the manor, admiring the bamboo and fish, before making his way to spend time with SuSu.
However, after a few turns, he felt sore and tired, and had to sit down for most of the day.
At this moment, he found himself pondering a question...
Had he really indulged too much in the rear court?
Why was he now feeling sore and tired?
Yet, his dignity remained largely intact.
So, perhaps it wasn't that bad?
Due to his existential crisis, the Qi King lingered a while longer in his chair.
Just as he found SuSu, embraced her, and strolled to admire the flowers and fish again, his sons returned.
It had been some time since he last returned to the royal palace, and with Xiao Liu back in the capital, he had also been away from the manor.
Now, with the thought of his children's return, the Qi King felt a surge of excitement.
In the past few days, Feng Xuan Rui had been thinking of skipping his lessons to visit the Queen and his sister.
While his longing for the Queen might not have been as strong, his desire to see his sister, SuSu, was most certainly genuine.
The young boy had even wept in Feng Xuan Bin's arms the previous night due to his yearning for his sister.
If not for the royal guards watching over them, the two children might have attempted to run away from home last night to find their sister!
Now, upon hearing that his sister had returned, Feng Xuan Rui took especially large strides as he walked.
Feng Xuan Bin, with his short little legs, struggled to keep up, constantly calling out from behind, "Wait for me, wait for me, I miss my sister too!"
Feng Xuan Jie and the others also unconsciously quickened their pace. It was evident that they, too, missed their sister, but being the older brothers, they had to maintain a sense of composure and not act too rashly.
SuSu, like a dove soaring into the woods, rushed over to them.
The Qi King couldn't even keep up as he chased after her.
As SuSu rushed towards them, Feng Xuan Rui opened his arms wide and embraced his little sister tightly.
Holding SuSu in his arms, he even lifted her high off the ground, spinning her around once. It was only then that Feng Xuan Rui finally felt a sense of relief.
His soft and adorable sister was back!
Hehe!
Feng Xuan Rui held onto SuSu until he could no longer bear her weight, and only then did he put her down.
It was at this moment that the Qi King finally caught up, huffing and puffing.
It had been over a month since Feng Xuan Rui last saw his father, and this sudden reunion left him a little dazed.
In recent years, the Qi King had done far too many eccentric things!
There were indeed times when Feng Xuan Rui truly felt annoyed by his father's concubines.
The elders from before, whether they were consorts or concubines, were all rather well-behaved and virtuous.
On rare occasions when they had their own little thoughts, it was mostly for the sake of their children, and they never caused anyone to feel disgusted.
However, the quality of the concubines in recent years truly bothered Feng Xuan Rui.
Because of this, there were times when he looked at his father and felt annoyed.
Yet, having been away from home for so long, the sudden sight of his father first left Feng Xuan Rui stunned. As he snapped back to his senses, he burst out in a cry, "Wah, Father!!!''
The loud wail startled the Qi King, causing him to stumble. He thought to himself, "Someone might mistake him for having passed away, with this boy crying like it's the end!"
Pui pui pui, what was he thinking?
He was the one destined for a long life, guarding over his precious daughter!
So, what was this talk about passing away and such? How inauspicious!
Originally, the Qi King had rushed over because he was worried about SuSu. Now, seeing Feng Xuan Rui in tears, he felt both helpless and amused.
He strode over, lifted Feng Xuan Rui with one hand, and placed him in his arms, patting him gently, "Alright, alright, Father is back now, you hear? From now on, you mustn't be so mischievous. After being away from home for so long, how many times do you think your mother has cried?
Xiao Liu's eyes had swollen several times. Even if they got into trouble next time, there was no need to feel guilty and run. With Father King here, there was nothing to fear."
...
Although the Qi King desperately missed his daughter, he also had a kind and loving heart for his sons.
So, as he muttered on and on, Feng Xuan Rui was deeply touched, and he started crying even louder.
Qi Wangfei:
I just received the news and then saw the father and son hugging and crying.
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought the sky was falling!
Although Feng Xuan Bin hadn't seen his Father King in a few days, his Father King had been teaching him his lessons every day before he left for the other courtyard.
So, the thought of not wanting to see his Father King was just as scary as not wanting to see his teacher! It was better to just think about how adorable his little sister was.
Moreover, with his sixth brother away, he could now have his little sister all to himself.
With this thought, Feng Xuan Bin couldn't help but chuckle, and then he reached out to hold SuSu's hand.
He was a little chubby, and at his age, he wasn't sure if he could manage to carry SuSu without accidentally dropping her.
So, after thinking about it, Feng Xuan Bin gave up on the idea of carrying his little sister and instead decided to hold her hand as they walked in happily together.
However, as soon as he took her hand, Feng Xuan Bo quietly walked to SuSu's other side and gently took her other hand in his own.
SuSu was unaware of the thoughts of her seventh and fifth brothers, and she was delighted to be held by her two brothers. Yet, she was also worried about them.
Her brothers were crying so sadly!
Seeing their distress, her heart ached, and her eyes turned red as well.
The little girl gently bit her lip, her tears threatening to fall at any moment, and she looked absolutely heart-wrenching.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Queen Consort's eyes immediately turned red as well.
She quickly walked over and tried to comfort the crying father and son, "Alright, alright, the sky isn't falling. Why are you crying so sadly?"
As she spoke, the Queen Consort also tugged at the Qi King's sleeve, indicating for him to look at SuSu.
Unconsciously, the Qi King looked over and noticed that SuSu's eyes were red, her small white teeth gently biting her lip, and she was looking at Feng Xuan Rui with a heart-wrenching expression.
With her pitiful appearance, it felt like if they continued crying any longer, this child would fall apart right before their eyes! The Qi King felt a pang of heartache, and as he patted Feng Xuan Rui's back with one hand, he said, "Little Six, it's alright now. Sister is watching, too."
"SuSu, don't be afraid. Father King is just playing around with your brother. I just missed him so much. I'm not hitting him, and I'm not sad or upset. These are tears of joy."
...
SuSu probably understood what tears of joy were.
However, the atmosphere was so poignant that it made her want to cry, too.
As the Qi King comforted them, the Queen Consort also gently picked up SuSu, but SuSu couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
She shyly buried her face in her mother's shoulder and quietly shed little golden tears.
The Queen Consort sensed this, feeling both helpless and heart-wrenching, and she gently patted the child.
Upon hearing that his sister was about to cry, Feng Xuan Rui immediately turned his head and struggled to get out of his Father King's arms. He loudly said, "Sister, don't worry. Your brother is being strong. I didn't cry; I just got something in my eyes!"
As soon as he said this, Feng Xuan Bo couldn't hold back his laughter any longer and burst out laughing.
Feng Xuan Rui, feeling ashamed and annoyed, glared at him with a hiss.
Feng Xuan Bo didn't pay any heed to his reaction and simply rolled his eyes.
From the side, the Qi King watched with eyes that were still slightly red, but a smile hung on his face.
