Chapter 598 Wishful thinking
Yun Qingluo carefully supported Yuan Qingling's slender arm, and the two of them slowly walked towards the courtyard where Yuan Qingling lived.
After entering the courtyard, the scene that came into view was almost the same as Yun Qingluo's memory.
I saw that the pear tree in the yard was still standing tall, and the swing under it was hanging quietly, as if silently telling stories of the past.
However, the swing was now covered with thick snow, and its original appearance was almost unrecognizable.
Yuan Qingling also stopped to admire the beautiful scenery. She smiled and said:
"In winter, this yard looks a bit bleak. Mother specially asked the housekeeper to buy a batch of wintersweets and transplant them to your yard.
When these wintersweets were first transplanted here, there weren’t even any buds left. But who would have thought that they would now be blooming so beautifully and proudly in the snow.
Yun Qingluo let go of Yuan Qingling's arm, walked lightly towards the potted plants, bent down slightly, got close to the plum blossoms, and gently sniffed the subtle fragrance.
Although this cool fragrance is elegant, it has a unique charm that makes people intoxicated and fascinated by it.
"Wow, it's so beautiful and smells so good. Thank you for your hard work, mother. I'm sure your sister-in-law has also spent a lot of energy and thought on this matter, right? Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law." Yun Qingluo stood up and said to Yuan Qingling with gratitude on her face.
My mother has not been in good health, and my father would certainly not want her to be too tired to take care of this matter, so in the end this matter will probably have to be accomplished by me, the gentle, virtuous and capable sister-in-law.
Yuan Qingling was indeed happy when she saw that Yun Qingluo immediately thought that it was her credit.
But she smiled sweetly and said, "Speaking of which, it was your eldest and second brothers who did it themselves. I was afraid that the plants wouldn't survive after being transplanted, so I specially asked someone to make them into potted plants and moved them here directly. When your eldest and second brothers heard about it, they took turns to supervise the work, and I actually did the least."
Yun Qingluo chuckled and returned to Yuan Qingling, helping her walk into the house.
"This shows that big brother loves sister-in-law. It's a good thing that big brother is so caring. Sister-in-law can order him around. I guess big brother is already very happy."
Yuan Qingling said embarrassedly, "My husband is busy all day, running around outside and working hard. How can I bother him with such a small matter?"
Yun Qingluo disagreed with this, "Sister-in-law, maybe my brother would enjoy it."
Yuan Qingling seemed to be thinking about something.
The two talked for a while in Yuan Qingling's room, and Yuan Qingling took the initiative to say, "You look tired, so you should take a nap first. I will go back and rest as well."
Yun Qingluo nodded and did not try to persuade him to stay.
The Yun family members haven't finished discussing the matter yet.
"Yunying, haven't they finished their discussion yet?" Yun Qingluo walked to the door and asked Yunying who was admiring the plum blossoms in the yard.
Yunying nodded, "I went to see it once before, and a few people were naming the young master."
Yun Qingluo nodded and said, "Go and bring the two little guys back, and let them get some sleep."
Yunying nodded and hurried out of the yard to pick someone up.
"Mother, mother, you asked Sister Yunying to find us. Do you miss us?" Mo Zhiyuan's childish and joyful voice came from afar.
At this moment, Yun Qingluo was bending over, concentrating on arranging the bedding on the bed.
Hearing Mo Zhiyuan's call, he quickly put down the work in his hands and walked out to greet him.
"Yes, mother missed you, so she asked sister Yunying to bring you back. Did you have fun at grandpa's place? Were you naughty and disturbed grandpa and the others' conversation?"
"No, my brother and I were very well-behaved. In the middle of the process, they even asked my brother for his opinion, and he was so awesome. Grandfather immediately said it was a good idea after hearing it." Mo Zhiyuan said proudly, as if she was the one being praised.
"That's great. I'm proud of you."
Yun Qingluo smiled and picked up the two children. Mo Junye struggled a little, "Mother is tired, I can walk by myself."
Mo Zhiyuan followed suit, "Yes, mother is tired, Zhiyuan will go by herself."
Yun Qingluo smiled and said, "No matter how tired I am, I can still carry you. I want to carry you into the house. Can you fulfill my wish?"
The two of them replied obediently.
Seeing this, Yun Qingluo kissed both of them on the face and said, "Good boy, come on, let's go inside. Mother made pajamas for you with very soft fabrics. Put them on later and sleep with Mother for a while."
After saying that, he walked towards the house.
Yunying had already lifted the door curtain, and only lowered it after Yun Qingluo walked into the room.
Although no one had lived in the house for a long time, it was spotless and very clean.
There was also a ground heating system, so it was very warm. It was so hot that Yun Qingluo changed into thin clothes.
"Come, let's go down first and take off our outer clothes, otherwise we will sweat from the heat later." Yun Qingluo said as he put the two children down.
Mo Zhiyuan pulled out a small purse from her bosom like a magic trick, "Mother, I brought you some delicious food. My brother brought some too."
After saying that, Mo Zhiyuan looked at Mo Junye, winked, and signaled him with his eyes to take it out quickly.
Mo Junye took out a small crimson purse from his sleeve somewhat embarrassedly.
"Mother, this is the new pastry that my aunt sent to the study. My aunt said that it is a new creation of the royal chef in the mansion. It is delicious. Please try it, mother." Mo Zhiyuan carefully took out the pastry from her purse.
Maybe because of the squeezing along the way, the pastry has broken.
Mo Zhiyuan's eyes immediately turned red, and she pouted in grievance, "The cake is broken, it doesn't look good anymore, mother, I'm sorry, Zhiyuan didn't protect the cake well."
Yun Qingluo touched Mo Zhiyuan's face lovingly, lowered her head and leaned over Mo Zhiyuan's hand, swallowed the broken pieces into her mouth, chewed them a few times and swallowed them, "Mm, it's delicious, how come the cake that Zhiyuan picked is so delicious, it's better than any I've eaten before."
When Mo Zhiyuan heard Yun Qingluo's words, he laughed quickly, "Really? Do you like it, mother? I'll get it for you." As he said that, the little guy was about to run outside.
Yun Qingluo quickly stopped her, "Who did you inherit this impetuous personality from? No, no, we still have to eat dinner tonight. Brother has some cakes in his hand, so just eat some."
Mo Zhiyuan was pulled into Yun Qingluo's arms, and immediately looked at Mo Junye, urging him, "Brother, quickly take out your cakes for mother to taste."
Mo Junye was very happy when he saw Yun Qingluo's expectant eyes. He opened his purse carefully and took out the pastries that were still intact.
Mo Zhiyuan was puzzled, "Why didn't my brother's cake break, but mine did?"
Yun Qingluo chuckled and asked, "Just now on the road, was Zhiyuan running and jumping?"
Mo Zhiyuan thought for a moment and patted his head in annoyance, "I was anxious to see my mother, and I seemed to be running. If I had known earlier, I would have listened to Sister Yunying and run slower."
Yun Qingluo smiled and took Mo Zhiyuan's white and tender hand, kissed the place where she had just patted it, and then said, "Zhiyuan brought the cakes for mother, mother likes it very much."
Upon hearing this, Mo Junye subconsciously took out the pastry and handed it to Yun Qingluo's mouth.
He was slightly startled and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Yun Qingluo had already taken a bite of the pastry, "This flavor is also very delicious, sweet but not greasy, thank you son, mother likes it very much."
Yun Qingluo swallowed the cake in her mouth and took the remaining half of the cake from Mo Junye.
She praised, "My son and daughter are so great. I am really happy. Thank you, son, thank you, daughter. I am so happy to have you accompany me."
Mo Zhiyuan stood on tiptoe and kissed Yun Qingluo's forehead.
"My brother and I are also very happy. It's great that you're back, mother. Zhiyuan must be the happiest princess in the world, having such a good mother and father."
After saying that, he added silently: Dad doesn’t blame me for forgetting what he looks like.
Yun Qingluo couldn't help laughing when she heard Mo Zhiyuan mumbling softly.
Her father must be very jealous.
Yun Qingluo coaxed the two children to sleep and also took a nap for a while.
When Mo Beichen and the others finished their discussion, it was already dark.
It happened that the nanny was going to invite Yun Qingluo and the two children to the front hall for dinner, so he took the job directly.
Mo Beichen walked into the yard and heard no sound at all, so he guessed that he was probably taking a rest.
He walked into the house and found Yunying guarding the stove in the outer room.
When he saw Mo Beichen, he was about to greet him, but Mo Beichen raised his hand to stop him.
Yunying pointed to the inner room and Mo Beichen nodded in understanding.
When she walked into the inner room, she saw the mother and her two children sleeping soundly on the bed.
Mo Junye and Mo Zhiyuan were lying on either side of Yun Qingluo, resting their heads on Yun Qingluo's arms, facing Yun Qingluo, curled up in her arms, with sweet smiles on their little faces. Yun Qingluo also had a smile on her lips, sleeping soundly.
Mo Beichen took a few steps closer. Yun Qingluo sensed his presence and opened her eyes drowsily, just as Mo Beichen lowered his head.
Yun Qingluo gave Mo Beichen a brilliant smile. Mo Beichen bent down and gently kissed Yun Qingluo on the forehead.
Mo Beichen nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Mo Zhiyuan mutter, "Mother."
She slowly opened her eyes, and Mo Junye also woke up after hearing the noise.
"Dad, are you done?" Mo Zhiyuan asked happily when he saw Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen tapped Mo Zhiyuan's forehead and said with a smile, "I'm done with my work, so I came to see you guys. Did you sleep well?"
Mo Zhiyuan nodded and snuggled into Yun Qingluo's arms, "Yeah, I slept very well. Mother's arms smell so good and are so comfortable."
Yun Qingluo smiled and said, "You two are really light sleepers. Now that you are awake, get up and let your father dress you personally."
Mo Junye and Mo Zhiyuan crawled up and sat up after hearing this. Mo Junye was a little skeptical, "Dad, can you put on clothes?"
Yun Qingluo smiled and said, "It would be better if you know how to do it. If not, you can take this opportunity to learn it. My mother's arm is numb and she will have to wait a while before she can move it. I think your father is here to call us to eat."
Mo Beichen glanced at Yun Qingluo and told the two children to sit in the front, "Come, line up, Daddy will dress you. Who said Daddy can't? When I took you to the morning court, your clothes were all Daddy's."
Mo Junye lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. It had been so long that he had forgotten it.
Yun Qingluo smiled and moved a little further inside. "How old was he then? How could he remember so much?"
Mo Beichen said, "Our Jun Ye's handwriting is now more beautiful than A Niang's. Your uncle has been praising you all the time, so I think the Grand Master is also very satisfied with you."
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhiyuan quickly said, "Grandfather is lying. He clearly said that I am the best. I can even do horse stance."
Yun Qingluo was pleasantly surprised, "It's so great, mother really didn't realize it, it seems that our family is going to have a female general."
While the family of four was chatting and laughing, someone came from outside to urge them.
"Look how happy I am. I forgot about the important things. The meal is already being served in the front hall. Let's hurry up and don't let my father-in-law and Yunmu wait for too long."
Yun Qingluo glared at him when she heard that. "How dare you not tell me earlier? Hurry up and help me. I'll get up and put on my clothes."
"Madam, please wait a moment. Okay, you two come down. Yunying, put shoes on them." Mo Beichen carried the two little guys to the soft couch beside him and called Yunying to come in and put shoes on the two children.
He turned around to help Yun Qingluo up, and massaged her arm first, "Are you feeling better?"
Yun Qingluo nodded, "It's much better now, but I stayed in the same position for too long, so it's a little numb. It will be fine after a while. Get up quickly, I need to put on my clothes."
Yun Qingluo typically threw things away after use, which made Mo Beichen chuckle.
Yun Qingluo turned her head and looked at him, "What are you laughing at?"
Mo Beichen walked to the shelf nearby, took the clothes, and put them on Yun Qingluo directly.
By the way, I answered her, "Madam, your habit of throwing things away after use is not very good. We will slowly change it when we return to the palace."
Mo Beichen emphasized the last few words.
When Yun Qingluo heard his words and saw his expression, she knew that this person was not serious.
Thinking that the two children were still here, she looked away embarrassedly.
However, Mo Beichen's wishful thinking was wrong.
After finishing the meal, return to the palace.
When Mo Beichen finished washing up and was getting ready for bed, he found that the two children, who had fallen asleep in the carriage and had been sent to their respective residences, were lying on the dragon bed, curled up in Yun Qingluo's arms, playing games with Yun Qingluo.
He came out of the shower in a hurry, without drying his hair, and came out in a bathrobe. As a result, he saw the scene he least wanted to see at the moment.
I originally wanted to ask someone to take the two children away, but when I saw the smiling faces of the two children, I had to give up the idea.
Yun Qingluo looked at Mo Beichen with a helpless look and chuckled, attracting the attention of the two little guys.
"Dad, you've finished washing. Come quickly, come quickly. We've reserved a seat for you. We're trying to unlock this Lu Ban lock, but we can't unlock it after trying so hard. Dad, please help us." Mo Zhiyuan raised his hand and called Mo Beichen to come over quickly.
Mo Beichen lowered his head and took a look, then sighed, "Father suddenly remembered that he still has some official business to deal with. You guys play with mother first, and father will be back to accompany you later."
After saying this, Mo Beichen put on a coat and hurriedly turned around and left.
Mo Zhiyuan and Mo Junye looked at their father's fleeing back in confusion. Mo Zhiyuan muttered, "Dad was obviously walking this way in a hurry, why did he leave halfway?"
