Distant memories flooded into Feng Danyuan's mind.
At that time, something happened to Wei Zi, and he was going to risk his own life to save her. Feng Jiayu, who was only three years old, seemed to feel something and was clamoring to catch fish, so he had no choice but to go to the lake with the child in his arms.
The child's energy was limited after all, and he fell asleep soon after, but his little hands were tightly holding his clothes. He casually took a pebble from the lakeside and put it into the child's palm.
Unexpectedly, the little guy kept the stone.
At this time, the little fat man's parents, Luo Helin and Luo Dengshi, came over.
Luo Dengshi said to the little fat man: "Xiaoye, don't disturb Xiaoyu when he sleeps."
Luo Helin saluted Feng Danyuan and said apologetically: "My child disturbed you, I'm sorry."
"No problem." Feng Danyuan smiled at the little fat man.
Luo Helin was secretly surprised. According to the reputation of the court officials, King Chen was not easy to get along with, otherwise he would not be impeached by the officials from time to time. It was not that he was domineering, but that he did not observe etiquette.
"There's only one cup of tea before the next exam." Luo Dengshi tactfully reminded Wei Zi not to let the child sleep for too long.
When Feng Danyuan heard this, he glanced at Master Li who was not far away.
Master Li hurried over and asked, "What is King Chen's order?"
"Tell Mr. Xie that the next exam will be postponed by one stick of incense." Feng Danyuan ordered calmly.
"Ah? Yes."
"Mom, I'm hungry." The little fat man said, holding his stomach.
"Okay, let's go get something to eat."
Mr. and Mrs. Luo took the little fat man away.
Feng Danyuan glanced at the prince, who reacted quickly: "Xiaoyu will definitely be hungry when she wakes up, I will send someone to prepare food right now!"
Feng Danyuan looked at Feng Weihuan: "Who bullied Xiaoyu?"
Feng Weihuan was startled, and soon realized that his eldest brother must have guessed that Xiaoyu didn't mention the things behind his parents' backs.
This matter cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide it.
She said softly: "After you left back then, Xiaoyu often cried and looked for his mother and father. Once when he went to the palace, the little prince of Princess Taiping's family couldn't compete with Xiaoyu, so he scolded him as 'a man who has no father to teach him and no mother to raise him.
"Child. Xiaoyu was very sad. She stood by the lake alone, tears falling, but she didn't say a word——"
Hearing this, Wei Zi's heart seemed to be squeezed hard, and she almost couldn't breathe with the discomfort, and her eyes turned red.
Feng Danyuan's face looked as usual, but his whole body suddenly felt cold, as if winter had suddenly arrived.
The little guy in his arms seemed to feel it, and couldn't help but move. Feng Danyuan patted his back gently, silently comforting him.
Feng Weihuan continued: "When the Queen learned about it, she was furious and punished Princess Taiping severely for the crime of 'inadequate discipline'. Princess Taiping asked the young prince to apologize to Xiao Yu, and the young prince agreed. But Xiao Yu said, I don't want it.
Your apology."
"After returning home, Xiaoyu asked me if my father and mother would not come back. I told him that if my father found my mother, they would definitely come back. Xiaoyu nodded and said, I understand."
"After this, Xiaoyu stopped talking about his parents and became different. He was no longer a well-behaved child. He began to work hard to grow up in his own way."
Feng Weihuan looked at Feng Danyuan: "This is the first time I have heard about that little stone. We all tried our best to tell him that he has many relatives. He is the same as other children. Some people love him and some people love him.
.But--"
He smiled slightly and said: "Parents are different in a child's heart after all. What he needs most is his father and mother."
