When the first snow of the year fell in the sky of the capital, Ye Shen finally returned to the capital.

As an imperial envoy, the first thing Ye Shen did when he returned to the capital was naturally to go to Gong Jin to meet the emperor.

The Ye family received news that Ye Shen returned home today yesterday. In order to meet his father who had not seen for a long time at the first time, Ye Chen asked for a day off and stayed in the mansion and waited for Ye Shen's return.

Of course, if Ye Chen wants to follow his wish, he plans to go to Shilipo outside the city to meet Ye Shen, but Lin Wan firmly stops him.

Ye Chen was so young that he only wanted to see his father, but Lin Wan knew the most that there was a saying for an imperial envoy like Ye Shen when he left Beijing and returned to Beijing. Moreover, when Ye Shen returned to the capital, he had to enter the palace first. Of course, Lin Wan could not miss the time when Ye Shen entered the palace to satisfy Ye Chen's little wish.

Ye Chen had to wait patiently.

But the five-year-old child is at an active age, and Ye Chen has a relatively active personality, so how can he stand to wait in Jingsiyuan?

Ye Chen asked for leave and waited at home for Ye Shen, which was indeed Lin Wan's personal agreement, but it did not mean that Lin Wan would indulge Ye Chen.

Look, after Ye Chen had breakfast, Lin Wan stared at Jingsiyuan's study and practiced calligraphy.

This is the price of Ye Chen taking leave. In fact, the homework that Ye Chen has to complete is even heavier than in the school.

However, Ye Chen felt it was worth it. After all, he had not seen his father for a long time. Only by staying at home can he meet his father as soon as possible!

But he has finished reading the book assigned by his mother, why haven’t his father come back yet?!

Ye Chen's eyes floated out the window involuntarily, and his little butt gradually became unsteady. He wanted to go to the front of the mansion to guard it.

Looking at Ye Chen's appearance as if he was sitting on pins and needles and scratching his head, Lin Wan could only sigh and simply asked someone to send a message to Zhang Dageng, asking him to take two servants to drive the carriage to guard the palace gate.

As he grew older, Zhang Dageng became more and more steady, but his mind was as clear and clever as ever.

Without Lin Wan's explanation, he figured out the "guard" in Lin Wan's words.

This guard is naturally not just a literal guard. Regardless of whether Ye Shen left the palace or not, he would send messages to the mansion every half an hour.

Ye Chen naturally didn't understand the significance of Lin Wan's arrangement, so he was still a little relieved and started to pick up his pen to practice calligraphy.

Practicing calligraphy is the most tempting patience, and Ye Chen quickly sank into it.

When Zhang Dageng asked his servant to come back for the first time, Ye Chen had just finished writing one page of words seriously and planned to write the second page.

When I heard that a servant came back to deliver a message, my eyes lit up and put down the pen in my hand and wanted to run out. However, after receiving a stern look from Lin Wan, I hurriedly sent the practiced words to Lin Wan: "Mom, I've finished practicing for a page."

Lin Wan gave Cherry eyes, and when Cherry turned around and left the study, she reached out to take the paper from Ye Chen's hand and started to look carefully.

Ye Chen was less than six years old and only allowed him to practice calligraphy with a pen half a year ago. His requirement was to try to be horizontal and vertical.

But Ye Chen is still small and has limited wrist strength. Even though he has worked very hard, the words he wrote are still a bit unsatisfactory.

However, Lin Wan still saw some progress in his writing.

As a child, he just needs more encouragement, so Lin Wan picked up her pen and circled a few words, and smiled and said, "It's a little better than yesterday, especially the words circled by her mother basically have a horizontal and vertical way."

Ye Chen looked at the words circled by Lin Wan, and compared the other words, his little face turned slightly red, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lin Wan just pretended not to see Ye Chen's discomfort, and only looked at the cherries coming in with the curtain lifted.

"Zhang Dageng asked the servant to come back, but there was no news of the third master leaving the palace yet." Cherry whispered to report the news that the servant had come back.

Ye Chen's little face suddenly collapsed. Why did His Majesty the Emperor say so much to his father? It's almost noon!

"Okay, your father's trip to Jiangnan this time has been a long time and there are many things happening. I want to stay in the palace for more time. You can sit down and continue practicing with peace of mind. Your Majesty the Emperor will never leave your father to spend the night in the palace!" Lin Wan knocked on the table and said.

Ye Chen's little face collapsed even more violently. He persuaded his mother to agree to him to ask for leave, just to see his father earlier.

If he knew that his father hadn't come home yet, why should he ask for leave?

At most two quarters of an hour, it’s time to get off the school!

When Ye Chen's little face collapsed, Lin Wan knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel angry and funny.

Yesterday, Ye Chen was trying to ask for leave, but Lin Wan refused, so she couldn't help but say good things to Ye Chen from the side. Thinking about the first time Ye Chen went to the clan to study since he was three years old, he nodded in agreement.

However, before nodding, Lin Wan gave Ye Chen a reminder: "Brother Chen, do you still remember what your father said on the day you went to the clan to study?"

Ye Chen tilted his head and thought about it seriously. What Ri Ye Shen said was a little confused in Ye Chen's heart.

After all, he was only three years old at that time.

Looking at Ye Chen's appearance, Lin Wan knew that Ye Chen probably didn't remember it, but she did not blame Ye Chen. The child's memory arc was not long. It would be good for a child as old as Ye Chen to remember the past. Besides, how many people could remember what happened when they were two or three years old, so she told the agreement between Ye Chen and Ye Shen that day.

In fact, Ye Shen and Lin Wan never thought of enlightening Ye Chen so early. It was Ye Chen who proposed to go to the clan to study.

When Ye Chen proposed it, Ye Shen did not object, and seemed to be very content. However, Lin Wan really didn't want her child to start urinating like that, and hoped that the child would have a happy childhood.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen insisted on it himself, so Lin Wan discussed with Ye Shen, and Ye Shen came forward to have a conversation with Ye Chen, and made a request to Ye Chen, that is, he should not be half-hearted, nor should he fish for three days and two days.

After some discussion, the father and son finally gave Ye Chen a stipulation, which was that Ye Chen had the opportunity to take leave five times a year.

Lin Wan was speechless when she learned the agreement between the father and son.

Such a young child may get sick if he gets a little wind and gets cold. He can only take five leave a year. Is it possible?

The facts made Lin Wan look at her with admiration. In addition to some majeure factors, even if Ye Chen was sick in the past two years, as long as he could get up, he would grit his teeth and persevere. He did not let himself use up the five chances of taking leave every year, and he only used it once this year.

Lin Wan specially proposed that it was just a test of Ye Chen.

"Mom, don't worry, after taking this leave, I won't ask for leave this year!" Ye Chen understood that Lin Wan was talking about the number of times she asked for leave. The trolley slapped his little chest and made a loud noise. That pride was really no one!

In fact, Lin Wan knew very well that Ye Shen had to report to His Majesty the Emperor when he returned to Beijing from Jiangnan this time, and His Majesty the Emperor wanted to know a lot. It would be great if he could come out of the palace at noon, and it might be even later!

Ye Chen is very likely to have lost his chance to take leave this time.

But Lin Wan would not remind Ye Chen that she would always give this kid some setbacks and give him more memory and more attention.

Sure enough, when I waited from morning to noon, I couldn't wait until Ye Shen came back, but I waited for Zhang Dagen and others.

It turned out that the palace knew that the Ye family must have been looking forward to Ye Shen going home early, but His Majesty the Emperor had many things to ask Ye Shen, so he specially asked the eunuch to spread the news.

Wu originally thought that Ye Shen would come back to share lunch with everyone. Yesterday, she got the news and posted the order to the kitchen to make a few more dishes that Ye Shen likes. She wanted to reward Ye Shen with good health.

The dishes in the kitchen were all cooked, and they could be served when Ye Shen came back. As a result, Ye Shen was left in the palace by His Majesty the Emperor for lunch.

After a careful preparation, Wu was naturally quite disappointed, but Ye Shen was able to stay in the palace for lunch with His Majesty the Emperor, which made Wu very proud.

There are many officials in the capital, and there are many people with higher official positions than Ye Shen, but there are not many officials who can be kept by the emperor for lunch. This is His Majesty’s recognition and trust in Ye Shen, and it is Ye Shen’s glory and the glory of the Ye family.

Although the dishes in the kitchen are to reward the deep leaves, since the kitchen is ready, it is naturally not wasted.

Lin Wan suggested to Wu that she would just open today's lunch in Dad Ye's yard just like Ye Shen came back.

Although Ye Shen was unable to come back to enjoy it together, because the excitement and honor brought by His Majesty the Emperor kept Ye Shen for lunch together was enough to dispel the regret of Ye Shen's absence, the lunch was very happy.

When the meal was over, Dad Ye stroked his beard and breathed a sigh of relief at God. Although he didn't say anything, Lin Wan seemed to hear Dad Ye's heart from Dad Ye's tone, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and chuckled gently.

On that afternoon, Ye Chen was sleeping in Jingsiyuan. He thought he could see his father by opening his eyes, but when he woke up from the sleep, he got the news that his father had not left the palace, and he couldn't get angry in his heart.

Ye Chen, who had never been angry, sat on the bed with Zhang Xiao’s face bulging for a while without any movement. Lin Wan reached out and pinched his bulging face gently, looked at him with a funny look and asked, "I'm very disappointed?"

Ye Chen looked up at Lin Wan, not knowing what to say.

My mother was so sad that she was about to cry when she saw him, but she still laughed!

"Mom knows that Brother Chen misses his father, so she has accumulated a lot of words to tell your father, and be patient and wait. Maybe your father will come back in a while! Come on, put on your clothes and let's drink milk and have some snacks. Today, Madam Bai personally made Brother Chen's favorite snacks." Lin Wan understood the meaning of Ye Chen's eyes at a glance, and felt a little sore in her heart. She reached out and hugged Ye Chen in her arms and patted her gently. She let go before Ye Chen resisted, picked up Ye Chen's clothes and helped him put them on, and said while helping.

Since Lin Wan got pregnant again, Ye Chen knew that she would be brother soon, so she realized that she had grown up and was no longer so sticky. Even if Lin Wan wanted to hug him, she would be rejected by him.

However, Lin Wan was overthinking today. Ye Chen had no intention of struggling. She even hoped that Lin Wan would hug him for a while. Unfortunately, Lin Wan let go quickly, so Lin Wan unexpectedly found a look of loss flashing in Ye Chen's eyes.

This made Lin Wan's movements pause slightly, and she felt the urge to hug Ye Chen back into her arms.

Lin Wan did not reach out in the end, because the loss in Ye Chen's eyes flashed like she was dazzled and disappeared. Lin Wan knew very well that it would not make much sense if she reached out to hug Ye Chen again.

I missed some opportunities, but it also made her realize that she still has shortcomings in being a mother. I just hope that I can be more careful and never miss such opportunities in the years to come, and do my best not to leave more regrets and losses in the hearts of my children.

Ye Chen didn't know that his little look made Lin Wan think so much, but he just raised his hand and raised his foot to cooperate with Lin Wan.

Ye Chen started to learn to wear clothes by himself since he was three years old. Now, as long as the dress is not too complicated, he can wear it neatly without the help of others.

But today I felt that it was really wonderful to ask my mother to help him dress. He couldn't bear to refuse his mother's help, so he let her dress neatly.

In order to suppress the indescribable little emotions that came to my heart, Ye Chen whispered, "Mom, when will my dad come back? If I had known that I wouldn't see my dad yet, I wouldn't have asked for leave. I'd waste my chance to take a leave!"

Hearing Ye Chen's last words, Lin Wan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing and said to herself: Oh, how can my brother Chen be so cute!

Lin Wan thought and smiled while involuntarily reached out and pinched Ye Chen's little face gently.

Ye Chen certainly knew that Lin Wan was laughing at her, and her little face turned red, and she flashed to the side, making her little face escape from Lin Wan's claws. The awkwardness made Lin Wan laugh even more.

Lin Wan's laughter made Ye Chen crawl aside for a few times, but the bed was so big, where could he hide? Lin Wan was soon grabbed in his hand.

Looking at his little arms and short legs that were being picked up, Ye Chen could only accept his fate. In the face of absolute power, he could only give up struggling.

"Go and drink milk quickly. It will be bad if it is cold!" Lin Wan carried Ye Chen out of bed, helped him put on his shoes, and patted his little fat butt twice.

Ye Chen covered his butt and ran away in panic, which naturally made Lin Wan laugh again.

Hearing Lin Wan's laughter behind her, Ye Chen staggered and almost threw herself to the ground. When he stood firm with the door frame, he turned around and looked at Lin Wan who bent over and said, "Mom, is it really good for you to always joke with your son like this?"

Lin Wan didn't expect Ye Chen to say such words. How could this make people laugh. She straightened her waist and glared at Ye Chen and said, "Where did you say so much? Drink your milk!"

The little brat, before the hair grows out, he has such a great self-esteem!

When Lin Wan came out of the inner room, Ye Chen had already drank several sips of milk, with white milk marks on his lips, and inexplicably had the illusion of growing a white beard.

The more Lin Wan looked at her, the more she felt that it was Ye Chen who had bulged her face before because she missed her father, or Ye Chen who had a stern face because of her smile, or Ye Chen who had a slutty beard at the moment, they were all very cute.
