His face was still the same gentle smile as he left in the morning. After walking in, he saw Miaoyan holding me tightly, making my back hit the edge of the table, and said with a smile: "Okay Miaoyan, your mother is in poor health, don't do this."

When Miaoyan heard this, she immediately let go of her hand, but she seemed to be reluctant to leave me too far, so she raised her head from my arms.

"Mom, are you sick?"

I knew what "illness" meant to Miaoyan, so I hurriedly shook my head: "Mom is not sick. I just haven't had a good rest and I feel a little dizzy."

"Sit down quickly!"

She said, holding my hand and pulling me down. Pei Yuanhao looked at me with his hands behind his back, his eyes and smile were extremely gentle, and he even felt a little relieved. Susu and Madam Wu watched from the side, without saying much, but just carefully clothed the food and retreated aside.

Pei Yuanhao seemed to think they were "annoying" and waved his hand: "You all go down."

"yes."

At this moment, the two of them left, and there were only three of us left in the room.

I was still a little overwhelmed. After a long time, I slowly raised my head and looked at Miaoyan.

I was not sick, but after all, I was not when I was young. Whether I stayed up late or went up the mountains and seas, as long as I was not injured, I was full of energy. But now I don’t sleep all night and feel so uncomfortable that I lost my soul. I watched them do things, but I had to wait several beats before I could react.

It seems that staying up late is really not good.

I said to Miaoyan: "Why are you here?"

"Mom, I..."

"Miaoyan wants to see you, so I will bring her here."

He took this sentence, smiled and sat down slowly, watching Miaoyan standing beside me, looking cautious, and even breathing seemed so cautious - remembering that when she was taken away by Eunuch Yu and the others yesterday, she had just heard the truth from the past from me, and knew the pain I had suffered, she was obviously scared, and was afraid that I would fall into that situation again, and even leave her.

So, the posture of standing beside me is almost a protective look.

I suddenly felt relieved all over my body.

Yes, no matter what I have experienced in the past or how much suffering I have suffered, as long as there is someone who shouts to others, "Don't hurt her anymore"; as long as there is someone who feels sorry for my pain; as long as there is someone who is willing to protect me, my life will not be exhausted.

What's more, this person who protects me is my daughter.

I smiled so hard that I couldn't even think of how gentle I could be. I looked at her: "Mom also wants to see Miaoyan. When I see you, I feel much more comfortable."

When she heard me say this, she felt relieved, dragged the stool next to me closer to me, and then sat down.

She reached out and grabbed my hand: "Have you eaten well, mom?"

"certainly."

"They have prepared a very delicious hot soup. Do you want a bowl of it?"

"OK."

...

She immediately reached out to the table to serve me a bowl of hot soup. Just as she was about to hand it to me, she heard a "ah" sound coming from beside her. When she turned around, she saw Pei Yuanhao covering her mouth, yawned a big yawn, then lowered her head and rubbed her eyebrows hard.

Miaoyan immediately asked, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Pei Yuanhao looked up at us and immediately cheered up and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Although it was "okay", the fatigue on his face was fully visible, especially his blood-filled and red eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawn. He reached out to cover his mouth, and tears burst out from the corners of his eyes.

...

He was like me last night and didn't sleep all night, but I started to sleep for a while not long after he left. Even though he is still in chaos, he can still hold on. But judging from his appearance, he seems to be even more depressed than me.

Could it be that he hasn't been able to sleep all day today?

Thinking of this, I turned to look at Miaoyan again... I suddenly felt like I understood something.

Yesterday, when Miaoyan left Yihua Palace, she was still asking him a lot of questions. She obviously couldn't accept our past and what his father had done to me, but now, she came to see me with Pei Yuanhao. It seems that Pei Yuanhao spent all the time on her.

Miaoyan looked at him, put the bowl of hot soup in front of me, then turned his head and served it in a bowl, and carefully turned it in front of him.

"Father, have some soup."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao had just finished yawning, but he was still a little confused. At this time, he lowered his head and looked at the bowl of soup that was still slightly rippling. He looked up at her, his eyes flashing slightly.

"Father, drink soup."

"……good."

There was a joy that could not help but speak on his face. He slowly picked up the bowl, gently scooped up a spoonful and blew it. It was cool, but he looked at me again: "Do you drink?"

I lowered my head and said, "I have it myself."

After saying that, I also scooped up a spoonful and blew it twice, and took a sip carefully. The soup was stewed for a long time and the taste was very strong. For someone who survived the night and had a bad appetite, this soup really came just right, so I took two more sips.

Then he raised his head and saw Pei Yuanhao holding a spoon and looking at me.

When he met my gaze, he didn't say anything, but the smile in his eyes became deeper, as if the soup had already brought great satisfaction before it could be drunk. At this time, he lowered his head and took a sip, and he felt like he had come back to life.

So, the two of us sat like this, holding our own soup bowls and sipped slowly.

Just then, I heard a low voice coming from beside me.

When I turned around, I saw a wonderful statement.

Her eyes were red, and she looked at us and was sobbing softly.

I panicked and hurriedly put down the bowl in my hand: "Miaoyan, what's wrong with you?"

She was like a frightened little rabbit with red eyes. When she heard me ask, she immediately reached out to cover her eyes and shook her head desperately: "I'm fine, I'm fine."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "..."

Pei Yuanhao and I looked at each other, looked at each other, and then looked at her.

Both of them fell silent.

She sat between us, small and thin, but she was already a big girl, in her teens, knowing many things and understanding many truths, and even began to hide her emotions. At that moment, I also understood that it was the first time that three people in the family were sitting at the same dining table since she recovered from the illness and woke up. She served us soup, and the two of us sat quietly and drank the soup.

This is so quiet and plain.

But for her, for us, it seems that after going through thousands of difficulties and dangers, this moment happened.

It was the moment we owe her.

Thinking of this, my heart was also a little sour. I subconsciously reached out to pull her hand down, but found that she was particularly stubborn and covered her eyes hard. When I felt that I was pulling her, I choked and said in a choked voice: "My eyes hurt, don't pull me!"

So my hand shrank back.

Pei Yuanhao sat next to her, looked at her for a while, and slowly put down the bowl in his hand.

Then, he said softly: "Miaoyan, your eyes no longer hurt, put down your hands."

“…”

"Obe obedient, let it go."

“…”

She didn't know if she didn't hear it or was unwilling to be obedient, but she still covered her eyes like this. After a long time, she finally let go slowly.

Then, I saw two eyes that were crying red and slightly swollen.

There are also tears on the face of embarrassing face.

She looked at us, and after a while, she rubbed her eyes randomly with her sleeves, and then said, "Father, mother, you haven't finished your soup yet."

Pei Yuanhao looked down at his bowl, then reached out and picked up his bowl again. I also picked up my bowl, but said, "Mom has drunk enough. Come on, Miaoyan, you can drink some too."

After saying that, I scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it gently, and then delivered it to her mouth.

We didn't ask her why her eyes hurt, nor did we ask where the tears on her face came from. We just brought the spoon to her mouth. She looked at me blankly, as if she had forgotten how to react. When the soup was delivered to her mouth, she opened her mouth intuition.

I fed her a spoonful of soup.

At this time, Pei Yuanhao said from the side: "Come on, you can take a sip."

As he said that, he also followed my example and cooled the soup, handed the spoon in front of Miaoyan. Miaoyan looked at him and drank his soup obediently.

So, we both did this, one spoonful of you and one spoonful of me, and fed her a spoonful of soup in the bowl one spoonful of spoonfuls.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment.

I couldn't hear the wind outside, nor did I disturb the servants and palace maids. Under the orange-red, warm candlelight, there were only three people, parents and daughter, who gathered a table of hearty dishes and fed them to the child's carefully cooled soup.

Perhaps, someone had such expectations. This picture was also staged day after day, year after year in the homes of ordinary people, but at this moment, he got such a precious tranquility in the colorful palace.

I almost heard the sound of Miaoyan's tears falling from her eyes and falling into the soup.

I don’t know how long it took, but she finally finished drinking the soup from my bowl. When I slowly put down the bowl, she suddenly said, “Father, mother, can we be a family in the future. Will this often happen?”

“…”

“…”

My hands that put the bowl were slightly stiff.

The spoon hit the wall of the bowl and made a tingling sound.

Pei Yuanhao also looked up at me. His eyes were a little tender and had not yet faded. At this moment, a little smile appeared, and then he said softly to Miaoyan: "This is to ask your mother if she agrees."

“…”

When Miaoyan heard this, she immediately turned her head and looked at me: "Mom!"
