Chapter 426 Hongxuan Returns Home
"Mother, mother, look at Xuan'er's music box. Is it pretty?"
Hongxuan came to the door like a happy little bird, jumping and showing the music box in his hand to everyone with excitement on his face.
The prince had not seen Xuan'er for many days, so he naturally missed the child.
When he saw Xuan'er running towards him, he naturally opened his arms and prepared to hug the child.
However, to the prince's surprise, the child was overjoyed, thinking that his mother had returned.
When he saw that the person in front of him was actually his father, his expectations were instantly dashed, and were replaced by deep disappointment and dissatisfaction.
"Where's my mother?"
Xuan'er's eyes widened. He hid the music box in his hand tightly behind his back and stared at his father with anger on his face, as if he was a stranger.
Upon seeing this, the prince smiled and said, "Xuan'er, come quickly to Father!"
As he said that, he quickly stepped forward, wanting to hug Xuan'er again.
However, the little guy's face was full of disgust. Not only did he not jump into the prince's arms as the prince wished, but he hid behind Yanhong.
Yanhong stood aside, watching this scene, feeling a little embarrassed.
She quickly smiled and coaxed:
"Good boy, why don't you kiss your Ama! The music box in your hand was given to you by your Amato!"
As soon as the words fell, the music box in Hongxuan's hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang". Then, Hongxuan's heart-wrenching cry was heard:
"Who cares about his things? I only want my mother!"
Yanhong hurriedly picked up Hongxuan and kept coaxing him, while shouting to the maids inside the door: "Quick, go and invite Miss Cailian over!"
The prince had no choice but to take Hongxuan from Yanhong's arms and teased him jokingly:
"Xuan'er, you are so naughty. Ama doesn't like you anymore!"
Suddenly, a loud and violent cough resounded through the sky, as if it was going to burst one's eardrums.
Then, a low and slightly hoarse voice came:
"That's right, Your Majesty, you are now on the rise!
Not only is he a prince, he also holds military power and is accompanied by a wife who is in tune with him.
In comparison, our Bijun is naturally yesterday's flower!"
When the prince heard the voice, he looked up suddenly and found that Master Tong had been standing quietly at the door without him noticing.
Master Tong looked at the prince with a gloomy face and no expression.
The old man slowly took off his official hat and handed it to Yanhong. Seeing this, Yanhong quickly and obediently took the hat and then tactfully turned around and left.
It was sunny just now, but now it is suddenly covered with dark clouds. It looks like it is going to rain.
The prince put Xuan'er down in his arms, walked quickly to Master Tong, clasped his hands together, and said:
"My father-in-law, please accept your respects from my son-in-law!"
However, Master Tong didn't even raise his eyelids. He held Hongxuan in his arms, turned around and walked into the mansion.
Seeing this, the prince was anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to block the door, shouting with a choked voice:
"father in law……"
Master Tong turned his back to the prince with a sullen expression and said coldly:
"Go back and bring me the divorce papers!
If you refuse, I will ask the emperor to allow you to divorce!
Even if my daughter is missing, I will let her leave the palace cleanly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hongxuan suddenly got down from the old man's arms, turned around, knelt down, and kowtowed several times to Master Tong.
I only heard the child crying out in tears:
"My mother is missing, and my grandparents, even at their old age, worry about her every day!
How could Xuan'er go and burden my grandfather who raised me to adulthood!
I am the prince of the palace anyway!"
"Xuan'er..."
Bijun's matter weighed on Grandpa Tong like a mountain. Now, after hearing Xuan'er say this, he excitedly hugged Hongxuan in his arms.
The old man's tears wet Hongxuan's small shoulders, and he choked up and said:
"Now, you are the grandson of my Tong family!"
"No, Grandpa, I want to go back and wait for my mother to come back!"
Hongxuan was thinking: It was because of that woman that my father disliked my mother. Now that woman has a child, I will make sure she doesn't live in peace!
Master Tong slowly stroked his sparse beard. This kid really taught him a lesson.
Mr. Tong's two sons are both officials in other places, and they only see their grandchildren a few times a year. But Xuan'er is more caring than his own grandsons!
The prince was naturally delighted.
He thought that since the people in his house obeyed Master Tong's orders, the eldest wife might be throwing a tantrum, and she would be found soon!
Even if it was a divorce, I think the old man would be relieved when he saw the first wife coming back!
The April rain comes without any warning.
In the morning, the sky was clear, but in a blink of an eye, the sky seemed to be torn open and heavy rain poured down.
The prince, Cailian and Hongxuan hurriedly got on the carriage, which slowly drove towards the prince's palace.
In the carriage, Hongxuan clung tightly to Cailian's arms like a frightened little bird.
The little girl was obviously embarrassed, her body trembling slightly.
Cai Lian looked at Hong Xuan with pity, and instinctively wanted to make him more comfortable, so she gently pushed Hong Xuan, indicating that she should lean on her father.
However, what Cai Lian did not expect was that Hong Xuan left the prince so quickly as if she had been electrocuted, and kept a distance from the prince with a look of disgust on her face.
There was already limited space in this small carriage, and now with three people sitting together, the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Especially Xuan'er, not only did he stay away from the prince, but he also looked at him with hatred on his face, which made the already awkward situation even more awkward.
Seeing this, the prince smiled slightly, as if he didn't take Xuan'er's attitude to heart.
He reached out and gently touched Xuan'er's head, wanting to tease him. After all, he hadn't seen his son for a long time.
However, the prince's action backfired.
Xuan'er shrank back suddenly like a frightened rabbit, and the distance between her and the prince became even greater.
When the prince saw this, he was not angry, but instead deliberately teased Xuan'er.
The prince smiled and said to Xuan'er:
"Silly boy, have you forgotten that when you were little, you were afraid of thunder and had to stay with your father in your mother's room!"
As soon as the prince finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. His smile froze on his face and he felt regretful.
Sure enough, after hearing what the prince said, Hongxuan glared at the prince fiercely, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.
Then, like a sulky kitten, he clung to Cai Lian again, half closing his eyes, as if ready to sleep until he returned home.
