MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 60

In the evening, Xie Qin stayed in the East Courtyard.

The two were lying on the bed side by side, Xie Qin said, "My grandmother would have people go to the Huguo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to offer incense every year on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. In previous years, people would go there. This year, it's King Ding's turn to fast in the Huguo Temple for January. , Your Majesty ordered me to accompany you. If you are interested, I will take you to Zhuangzi to stay for a few nights."

He paused and added, "There is a hot spring in that village."

For the ancestors of the royal family of Daye, there must be members of the royal family who eat fast at Huguo Temple and pray to Buddha for one month.

In the previous generation, Emperor Zhao, who had not yet ascended the throne, had always fasted on behalf of the sky. In this generation, Emperor Zhao let the three princes take turns, and this year, it was His Royal Highness Prince Ding's turn.

Yin Mingyu didn't care about those, but was very interested in the hot springs, and even agreed.

Xie Qin thought about it for a long time before he said again: "I probably don't have time to spare. You can invite your aunt and cousin to go with you."

When Yin Mingyu heard this, the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily, "Then I will invite my aunt and cousin together."

She looked too happy, but Xie Qin was not very happy, so he said lightly: "Cousin is only a few months younger than you, and this time I came to Beijing to find a good marriage through Xie's family."

Yin Mingyu said with a smile: "grandmother and mother said the same thing before, but my mother has to worry about my cousin's marriage. We'll just marry my cousin."

The corners of Xie Qin's mouth rose slightly, and he gave a soft "um".

Yin Mingyu slept for a while in the afternoon, but couldn't sleep a little at night. He didn't want to disturb Xie Qin's sleep, and he didn't dare to move, so he closed his eyes and thought about the hot spring village.

She thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but she fell asleep unconsciously after closing her eyes for a long time.

In my sleep, I suddenly heard someone shouting in my ear. After struggling for a while, I opened my eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Qin had already sat up, frowned and put on his clothes, and replied, "Just now, someone from the main hospital said that Ce'er was ill and refused to take the medicine. She cried and called you, and grandmother asked you to come and see."

Yin Mingyu became more awake and asked, "Are you sick? What's wrong?"

"The wind is cold and the fever is hot. Maybe I went to school during the day and caught a cold."

At this time, the wind chill is very easy to kill. Yin Mingyu quickly got up and put on his clothes. The maid outside at night heard the movement of them getting up, reported it, and came in to help them.

Both of them simply pulled their hair into a bun and hurried to the main courtyard, where they heard Xie Ce crying outside.

Mrs. Xie was anxiously coaxing Xie Ce to drink the medicine, but Xie Ce was ill, unwell, and had a great temper. After tasting a spoonful of the extremely bitter soup, she was very resistant and did not drink it.

As soon as Xie Qin and Yin Mingyu entered the room, Mrs. Xie hurriedly said, "You guys are here. If you still can't persuade him, you can't let him cry like this anymore. You have to open your mouth and feed him."

Xie Ce cried out of breath, opened his eyes slightly to see Yin Mingyu, and opened his small hands to cry "Mother".

Yin Mingyu just walked outside, and his body was full of cold air. How could he pass by like this, he stood by the brazier and coaxed: "Xiao Langjun, drink the medicine first."

Xie Ce's little hand stretched forward vigorously, shaking his head uncontrollably, crying while shaking: "Wuwuwu...don't drink medicine..."

Madam Xie was so anxious that she urged, "Don't bake, just hug him."

Yin Mingyu had to walk over and hug Xie Ce.

As soon as Xie Ce got into her arms, he immediately hugged her neck tightly, crying and calling "Mother", sobbing and choking very pitifully.

Yin Mingyu actually didn't hold Xie Ce many times, but a small child, a small body, hugged her wholeheartedly, especially when she was ill, she was not hard-hearted, she was naturally a little soft-hearted, so she gently hugged him. Shoot from behind.

Xie Ce cried a little less, but he was still sobbing, and his body was shaking slightly.

Madam Xie was overjoyed when she saw this, and said, "Second Mother, give him medicine."

When Xie Ce heard this, he buried his head in Yin Mingyu's neck and shoulders, kept shaking his head, and choked out, "Don't drink...don't drink..."

Xie Qin frowned and said, "I must drink medicine."

His tone was too blunt and he looked extremely stern. Xie Ce's cry suddenly became louder, and he refused while crying: "Wuwuwu...don't drink..."

Madam Xie was in a hurry, she even freed one hand and slapped Xie Qin's arm a few times, "He's sick, why are you murdering him?!"

Xie Qin had never been beaten, and looked at Mrs. Xie in disbelief, "..."

After Mrs. Xie beat him, she ignored his reaction at all, approached Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce, and coaxed distressedly: "Ce'er, don't cry, your great-grandmother's heart taught you to cry..."

Xie Ce was not light, Yin Mingyu had been holding him for a long time, and his arms were a little tired, so he sat on the bed.

Xie Qin recovered from the "beating". Seeing that Xie Ce was gradually calming down in Yin Mingyu's arms, he asked Mrs. Xie, "Grandmother, how did Ce'er get cold? Can you send someone to inform mother?"

Madam Xie was angry again, but she resisted her anger and said, "I didn't teach anyone to go to the Western Courtyard."

Then he turned to Nanny Tong and the others, knocked on the cane, and scolded, "You can't even take care of the child!"

Nanny Tong and others kowtowed and pleaded guilty, not daring to argue.

Yin Mingyu raised his head and glanced at it, and then said to Xie Ce, who was much calmer in his arms, just sobbing: "Xiao Langjun, can we drink medicine?"

"Don't..." Xie Ce shook his head and hid in her arms, not showing his face.

Xie Qin came over with a medicine bowl in his hand, as if he wanted to feed him hard.

Yin Mingyu was afraid that the child would cry again. He rarely made trouble again. The voice was really high. She hugged him and was directly impacted, so she raised her hand to stop Xie Qin.

Xie Qin disagreed, "The medicine must be drunk."

Xie Ce put all his strength into Yin Mingyu's arms and turned his back to Xie Qin.

Yin Mingyu suddenly lowered his head and said, "Xiao Langjun, is the medicine bitter?"

Xie Ce twitched and responded: "Bitter..."

Yin Mingyu asked again, "Do you want to see your father drink such a bitter medicine?"

Xie Ce stopped crying, raised his head, and glanced at his stern father with watery eyes.

Xie Qin was expressionless and looked at Yin Mingyu seriously.

Yin Mingyu was not afraid of Xie Qin, and continued to seduce the little doll: "How about you and your father alone? Do you want to watch Xiaolang? As long as you drink medicine, your father also drinks bitter medicine."

Xie Ce's face was full of heartbeat, but he didn't dare to answer, leaning in her arms and looking at his father carefully.

When the old lady Xie heard it, she immediately called the shots: "As long as Ce'er drinks, let your father drink it!"

Xie Qin: "…"

Yin Mingyu reached out to him, "Lang Jun, bring the medicine here."

Xie Qin walked over with a cold face and handed the medicine bowl to Yin Mingyu. Seeing Xie Ce staring at him eagerly, he was silent for a moment, but he still picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of the soup medicine.

When Yin Mingyu saw him, he took a spoonful and turned his back to Xie Ce to wink at him.

After he finished drinking it one by one, what Xie Ce was drinking, he had to pretend.

Xie Qin understood her wink, and after a pause, he took the bowl again, using the bowl to cover it, pretending to take a sip.

Then, he scooped another spoonful and brought it to Xie Ce's mouth.

Xie Ce still didn't want to open his mouth, Yin Mingyu quietly kicked Xie Qin from below and asked, "Lang Jun, is it hard?"

Xie Qin gave her a warning look, and then said to Xie Ce, "Bitter, if you don't drink it, I won't drink it again."

Xie Ce, the son, didn't know what kind of love he had for his father. He wanted to see his father drink the bitter soup, but he slowly opened his mouth.

Madam Xie was overjoyed, and the servants who served Xie Ce were also overjoyed.

No one wanted Xie Ce's condition to worsen.

But Xie Qin pretended to take a sip, then fed Xie Ce a sip, and the bowl of medicine was gone.

Xie Ce's face twitched together in bitterness, and then choked with grievances.

Yin Mingyu was quick-witted, and a piece of candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth.

Xie Ce snorted subconsciously and forgot to cry for the time being.

It was too late at this time, and Xie Qin persuaded Mrs. Xie to go back and rest, "Grandma, Erniang and I are here."

Mrs. Xie was still worried, but she glanced at her great-grandson in Yin Mingyu's arms. She was not needed here at all, so she still turned back step by step.

After taking the medicine, you have to take a good rest, Xie Ce doesn't let go, Yin Mingyu can only accompany him here.

Xie Qin did not intend to leave either.

Xie Ce held Yin Mingyu in his arms, and when he looked up, he saw his father also sitting on the bed, and hurriedly hugged her tighter, then looked at his father vigilantly.

Xie Qin: "…"

When the three of them lay down, Xie Qin was worried that Yin Mingyu would fall asleep and press on Xie Ce. He originally planned to sleep between them, but Xie Ce was unhappy; he was sleeping on the other side of Yin Mingyu, but Xie Ce was still unhappy, and even reached out his hand to push him. he.

Xie Qin had itchy hands, but when he was sick, he suppressed it and let Xie Ce sleep in the middle.

Xie Ce was extremely satisfied, rolled around in the middle, rolled into Yin Mingyu's arms, and fell asleep in her arms not long after.

Yin Mingyu put him upright in the middle, covered him with a quilt, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xie Qin was not at ease, so he stretched out an arm to protect Xie Ce vainly.

And his worries were very reasonable. After Yin Mingyu fell asleep, he began to turn over freely, almost pressing Xie Ce several times, but Xie Qin blocked him.

Later, Xie Qin simply protected Xie Ce in his arms, but even so, the space between the father and son on the bed was compressed again and again, occupying a small position "wronged".

Finally, on the second day, the sun rose and Xie Ce was the first to wake up from his sleep.

He was protected by Xie Qin in his arms, and the whole person was covered under the quilt, arching and arching, the quilt was bulging, and he finally climbed out.

Xie Ce blushed, and when he saw the two sleeping people on the bed, he twisted happily for a moment, abandoned his father, got into Yin Mingyu's quilt, lay beside her, and soon coaxed himself to sleep again. .
