Chapter 1141: The Fearful Father's Love
Duanmu Yuyuan just lifted Princess Aguo's curtain, and suddenly heard the little girl's voice coming from behind. He was really shocked. He turned around instantly and looked at the pretty man who gave birth, but he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He stepped on the clouds and approached Princess Aguo, looked her up and down, and said stunningly: "Are you Aguo?"
Aguo nodded and smiled innocently, "It's Aguo. Brother, are you my brother right? Are you here to play with Aguo?"
Duanmu Yuyuan nodded subconsciously.
Aguo cheered, and jumped up with a little foot.
Duanmu Yuyuan was guilty of being a thief, afraid that Princess Aguo would attract guards, so she hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth.
Qiu Huaran suddenly took action and stopped Duanmu Yuyuan's rude hand.
Duanmu Yuyuan asked in a low voice: "What are you doing? You can't let her call you, what should I do if I call someone?"
Qiu Huaran looked at Princess Aguo who was obviously very scared and said, "She won't call anyone. Aguo knows that if she calls someone, we can't play with her."
After hearing this, Aguo slowly let go of her shoulders, nodded timidly, and then covered her mouth with her little hands, indicating that she would not shout again.
Duanmu Yuyuan said, "Okay." Instead, he asked curiously, "Aguo, have you been living here and never been out?"
Aguo asked in confusion: "Go out? Where to go?"
Duanmu Yuyuan was slightly stunned and looked at Qiu Huaran.
Aguo continued: "Aguo has many playmates here, so you can't abandon them, otherwise... they will become bronze men."
Qiu Huaran thought more than Duanmu Yuyuan. He heard a different message from Princess Aguo's words. How could a father, even if he pampered his children, raise her in the boudoir as an ignorant girl who was ignorant of the world? Moreover, he instilled in her incredible ideas. What does Aguo mean to be the emperor?! Aguo is his daughter, but neither physically nor emotionally nor with him!
Qiu Huaran felt that the emperor's thoughts were a bit weird.
Qiu Huaran asked according to Aguo's words: "What playmates do you have?"
Aguo pursed his lips and smiled, like an extremely beautiful butterfly. He spread his wings, tiptoed, and gently flew to the bronze mirror. He pointed to one of the bronze statue ladies and said, "This is A Cai, who helped me comb my hair." He pointed to another bronze statue maid, "This is A Yan, who will help me make beautiful dresses. Her hands are just a coincidence." When Aguo said this, his eyes were bright like black grapes, as if introducing his good friends to them, and there was a little bit of pride in his tone.
She turned around, and like dancing, she came to the head of the bed again, knelt in front of the first bronze statue maid, bent down, raised her head, looked at the maid's face, stretched out her hand, wiped the maid's face, then looked up at Qiu Huaran and Duanmu Yuyuan, and said, "She is my best playmate. Her name is Xiao Taozi, and she is particularly good at telling jokes." Her smile disappeared slightly, "But she became like this because of lying."
Qiu Huaran and Duanmu Yuyuan's hearts suddenly sank.
Originally, both of them thought that these bronze cast maids were imagined as playmates by Princess Aguo, but they did not think that these bronze cast maids were not like this.
So, what did they look like? But...a living life?!
Duanmu Yuyuan asked: "Aguo, what did the little peach look like?"
Aguo gestured, "She loves to laugh very much. There are two dimples here, which is so beautiful."
Duanmu Yuyuan felt that he had not asked the point.
Qiu Huaran squatted down and asked, "Is Xiao Taozi willing to walk barefoot in this hall like you?"
Aguo shook her head and said, "No, she is wearing shoes. She never barefoot."
Qiu Huaran asked again: "Then why did she... become like this?"
Aguo looked at the Tongzhu maid again, with a hint of self-blame in her eyes and said, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't always asked Xiao Taozi..." He raised his hand and pointed to the small window above the hall, "Where is there, she wouldn't have become like this."
Qiu Huaran simply knelt down, unconsciously softened his voice, and asked, "How did Xiao Taozi answer you?"
Aguo pursed her lips and said, "She said, it was outside. There were people outside, there were cars, flowers, and grass... The father said that she had told lies, and God punished her, so she disappeared. I haven't eaten for several days, and I think of Xiao Taozi. The father brought Tong Xiaotao and said that she was punished. As long as she sincerely repents, she will become the little Taozi who loves to talk and laugh."
Qiu Huaran was silent.
Duanmu Yuyuan tried hard to suppress his excitement and asked: "These bronze maids were originally living people?"
Aguo nodded and replied, "They are all maids who take care of me and playmates. Originally, they were just four people playing with me, but later, they all made mistakes and were punished. They turned into bronze statues, and only by sincere repentance can they become back. I use a clean veil to wipe their faces every day, so when they become back, they will still be so beautiful." He paused slightly and continued, "Father said that as long as I am happy every day, they will be as happy as me. So, Aguo is very happy and will smile every day." After saying that, he also pressed the corners of his mouth with two index fingers, showing an exaggerated smile.
Qiu Huaran felt that something was stolen and wanted to roar and break free from this suffocating constraint!
Duanmu Yuyuan felt uneasy. He felt that if the father knew about Aguo, he would have a place among the bronze men. He didn't know why the father acted like this. The father's possessiveness of Aguo was so terrifying. He did not allow anyone in the palace to mention Aguo, but he couldn't help but praise him, just like... there was a peerless treasure that only he knew, and he couldn't help but want to show off, but he was afraid that he would be peeped at.
Duanmu Yuyuan was uneasy and said, "Aguo, we are here to see you today. We cannot tell anyone that, including the father, you must remember, otherwise... we will never come to you to play with you again."
Aguo looked at Duanmu Yuyuan carefully and asked, "Why can't you tell your father? The father said, there is no secret between me and my father. Aguo is the daughter of the father, and everything about Aguo is the father's, so Aguo cannot have secrets. If Aguo lies, he will become that way." His eyes swept to the bronze statue, full of fear. She didn't want to become that way, so... she must not deceive the father. She could not imagine how painful it would be if she kept kneeling there or stood still. Furthermore, if she became like that, who would wipe her face?
