Chapter 184: Visiting relatives in prison
He quickly turned over from the thatched prison bed, patted the dust on his body, and tidied up his clothes in a hurry. Du Shaoqing smiled awkwardly: "Why are you here? This is the Ministry of Justice Prison. Besides, why are you bringing your children here? It's okay for your husband, and you'll go out in a few days."
The prison guard opened the prison door, and then consciously called his colleagues out to make room for the princess and princesses. The princess put down the food box and took off the bag he was carrying. After opening it, it was some Du Shaoqing's change of clothes. "You are wronged and you are imprisoned. How can you sit down and watch? You are in the Wuhou Prison. I want to come. My father refused to let you go and said he would avoid suspicion. Who knew that he had even put you in the Ministry of Justice."
Xiao Xuanxuan led her little tiger cub, and seemed not to care much about her parents' conversation. Instead, she bit her finger and stared at the food box brought by her mother. She watched her mother change her father's clothes and started chatting. Xuanxuan thought for a while and ran over and hugged Du Shaoqing's calves: "Dad, do you miss Xuanxuan?"
"Haha, of course, I think every day that our new home is empty, so my father lives alone, so boring." Du Shaoqing leaned over and hugged his daughter and smiled.
"Oh..." the little girl asked a long voice to express her understanding, "So you moved here? It's not empty to live here."
Puff... Du Shaoqing couldn't help laughing. Who moved to prison without any trouble?
"Dad, you must be hungry, why don't we have a meal first?" The little girl said as she naughtyly signaled Du Shaoqing to Du Shaoqing. How could Du Shaoqing know where this little foodie was hungry himself.
"Oh, it's okay, Daddy isn't too hungry, let's wait a while before eating." Du Shaoqing deliberately objected.
"Ah? But Xuanxuan is already hungry. Why don't you eat it now? These are all dishes made by Uncle Tiger himself, so he is waiting at the door." The little girl pointed outside and said.
At this time, Dahu, who had not seen for a long time, poked his head out from the prison door and smiled: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, Dahu will deliver you food every time in the future."
Du Shaoqing was about to say thank you for your hard work, but then he thought, it was wrong, "Dahu, what do you mean is that I want to live here in the future?"
"Ahem, absolutely not. Madam said, if you stay in prison for one day, Dahu will give you a day of food, and I guarantee that you won't suffer." Dahu hurriedly explained.
Then the two chatted for a while, and Dahu stepped out with tactfulness. The little girl had already taken the opportunity to open the food box and pick up the chopsticks and start eating.
The princess scolded: "Xuanxuan, that's specially done for your father. Don't move... How did I tell you when I came?"
The little girl said aggrievedly: "I just want to taste it for my father if it's delicious."
This child, who was so greedy and said so smart, made Du Shaoqing feel so distressed. He immediately brought him over and stopped his wife and said, "No need to do this. Let you two see me eating alone, how can you eat? Our baby daughter can eat whatever she wants. Come on, Dad, feed you.
Madam, you sit down too. Since we arrived in Chang'an, our family of three hasn't eaten two meals together."
The princess sat down as she said. Because there were only a pair of chopsticks, Du Shaoqing fed his daughter a bite like a child, and also a bite of his wife. The princess was shy at first, but then shed tears in her eyes and choked: "Husband, I am useless. I have pleaded with my father, but he just refused to let you go, saying that she would block the mouths of the Tubo people."
Du Shaoqing reached out to wipe away the tears and comforted his wife: "Don't make things difficult for Your Majesty, he is already carrying the pressure of all officials. Letting me out may lead to a war between the two countries, and he has no choice.
Don't worry, it doesn't matter if I'm here, I'll be released after a while.
Everyone is very nice to me here and will not suffer."
The princess turned her head and looked at the surrounding environment. The prison was not very light, and the floor was covered with thatch. How could there be any environment?
The little girl Xuanxuan sat in her father's arms and heard it, and said intriguedly: "Is it really fun in prison?"
Du Shaoqing patted his chest and said, "It's fun, there are many prison guards playing with his father every day."
"Ah? That's really fun. Mom, let's live here with my dad. I've been playing around in the palace, it's not interesting." Xiao Xuanxuan said excitedly. At her age, she doesn't seem to know what a prison is.
Du Shaoqing was so scared by the child's words that he almost dropped his chopsticks. What a joke, how could you two stay in with you? Do you think this is a five-star hotel?
"Ahem, this is an adult's place, and children are not allowed to live in, so you can't live here. Go back soon after dinner, so Dad can only stay for a few days before he has to go out."
"Really?" The little girl changed her father so quickly, and she was very suspicious and turned to look at her mother.
After listening to his daughter's advice, the princess had a sudden idea and nodded, "Your father is right, children are not allowed to live there.
So after dinner, let Dahu take you to find grandma, so that his mother can stay here with her dad."
I'll go... Du Shaoqing turned his head in surprise and looked at his princess wife, "Madam, you're not kidding, is this a prison? Are you a princess, and you want to stay in the prison with me? Do you think this prison of the Ministry of Justice is an inn run by our family? Besides, what are you involved in? Just take good care of the children at home."
The princess actually said a little arrogantly: "My father is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and is rich in the world. If it is said that the Ministry of Justice was run by my family, it would be correct.
The Minister of Justice is my uncle Wang Li Daozong, so it is not a problem to arrange it.
What's wrong with me being a princess? My husband is suffering in prison and I can't save you, so I'll live with you. Humph, maybe my father can't stand me for suffering and let us go.
That’s the decision, don’t worry about the child, the child will take good care of the mother.”
Du Shaoqing put down his daughter and stood up and shouted: "No, absolutely not, why are you messing around? Listen to me and take the child back."
"Husband, I can accompany you to suffer. You don't have to worry. This is the fastest way to save you. I'll go find Uncle Li Daozong."
After holding the wife, Du Shaoqing explained earnestly: "Madam, your Majesty is also trying his best to save me, my son-in-law, so don't cause trouble. Now is the time for us to work together to treat the outside world. We must take the overall situation into consideration. Don't be willful. If you believe in your father, he will not cheat your son-in-law."
He persuaded him with kind words, and finally persuaded his wife. If the princess had followed her to live in the Ministry of Justice prison, I wonder what the people in Chang'an City would respond?
At this time, a burst of laughter came from outside the cell: "Ha, it seems that our brothers were not the time to come. Brother Du is having a heart-to-heart talk with his wife."
Another person said, "Yes, yes, let's not disturb the warmth of the couple. Wait for a while outside. It's probably almost the same time. It's said that Brother Du is fighting against two in Youzhou for one hour. Brother Du, let's go outside to guard the gate for you.
By the way, Xiao Xuanxuan, do you want to go out with your uncle to play?"
Xiao Xuanxuan looked back and snorted proudly: "Uncle bearded is a bad guy, Xuanxuan doesn't want to play with you!"
