The monarch's father didn't want to say more, and the eunuch who guarded the palace had already sang: "Your Majesty Xià Yuqi-" The emperor turned and walked away, and the beads on his forehead made a familiar sound.

His dark crown robe, mopping the ground, His Royal Highness's courtiers knelt solemnly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be happy forever!" ”

He was so majestic, so high. The old minister's sideburns were already spotted, but he knelt in front of my father in the prime of life, stunned and stunned.

The majesty of the king, the first time we met, it was he who interpreted it to me.

In this life, I have never seen him look like a relative, but too many times, I have seen him leaning on the fence with lovesickness. The people of Chang'an all know that their king once drafted the most romantic edict in the world, looking for a sword when he was diving.

For example, her daughter Jingwu.

Born to be a mother.

I looked up again, and saw that my brother had already walked to me on his knees, he smiled softly and comfortingly, he stretched out his hand and picked me up: "Si'er, my father's Shanglin Garden, there are many, many rare and exotic beasts!" It's fun! You're staying in Yichun/Gong, and my brother will visit you whenever he has time, okay? ”

"Brother," I whispered, "I don't like ...... here."

The elder brother was stunned for a moment, and sadness suddenly flashed in his eyes: "I'll go and beg my father, and when you grow up, you will move to Yichun/Palace, and my brother will ...... I can't bear you. ”

"Brother, I heard A-Niang and Mama say, are you going to take me back?"

"No," he smiled, and touched my head again, "Father misses you too." ”

"That can't ......" I don't like to talk anymore.

The elder brother said, "Si'er, let's not talk about this, I'll take you to the Middle Palace." ”

"What is the Middle Palace?" I asked, looking up.

"The queen of my father's emperor is called the mother of the middle palace."

“…… Queen, isn't it our mother? ”

The prince was stunned. I could see that his eyes were full of tears, as if they were about to pour out as soon as he lifted his eyelids.

He treats me well, and I really don't want him to be sad. Then he said: "Brother, let's not talk about Niangniang, Erya is hungry, and Erya wants to eat wonton." ”

He lowered his waist, tidied up his skirt for me, and smiled dotingly: "Si'er, there are delicious things in Jiaofang Palace, brother will take you there!" He also said, "The queen who lives in the Jiaofang Palace, not our mother, but we must respect her-"

I casually asked, "Why?" ”

"Because...... She is the queen of her father's emperor. The elder brother suddenly became a little strict: "...... She treats us well, too. ”

The middle palace Jiaofang Palace, that is the most prosperous palace in the world. My brother said that this was our mother's home. If she were still here, it would be my brother and me's home.

Since the beginning of Gaozu Lu, there have been eleven queens of our Han Dynasty living here. My brother and I's mother-in-law, Gong Mourning Queen Xu, is also one of them.

It has witnessed the eleven queens of the Han Palace from their red faces to their twilight years, and how many stories the Han Palace has always been in the pepper room.

Can be old in the pepper room, it is a blessing, Emperor Wu Empress Chen was deposed Changmen, Emperor Jing Empress Bo Shi relocated in Zhaotai, recently said, Liu Zheng and Si's biological mother, the daughter of Xu Men who is kind to the monarch's father, also lived in the Jiaofang in the prime of life, the Jiaofang Jiaofang, these two words also became a curse.

Changle Weiyang, the queen of ancient times, only lives in Weiyang, and does not see Changle.

She was a wonderful, very gentle woman. The first time I saw her in the Jiaofang Palace, I felt cordial, if my mother was still alive in the world, maybe she would be like her.

The palace lamp of the pepper room exited two rows, and the palace people who picked up the lamp were in a graceful posture, and Yingying was lined up, and the palace lamp was dim, with a little warm warmth. Like clusters of fireflies flying in the mountains, if you hold it in your hand, I'm afraid it will melt.

The stove burned so brightly that the bright light of the fire rushed through the black coals until it reached his knees. I rubbed my hands and loosened the sink, and my brother reached out and tightened it tightly, and said with a smile: "It's just a little warm, so I'm greedy for cold, and I'll freeze you!" ”

I smiled: "Brother, you are even better than Ermao!" ”

The palace maid whispered next to her brother: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the queen mother will be here soon, and she is freshening up at the moment." ”

The prince's brother smiled: "My own family, red tape doesn't matter. The mother is still so thoughtful. ”

Donggong was born gentle and amiable, and the palace maid was not restrained in front of him, and said with a chuckle: "As soon as the mother heard that the prince and the princess were coming, she was so happy that somehow, how could this son not dress up......"

He smiled and gave way, pushing me forward: "This is Jingwu, you recognize it." ”

The woman in the palace only looked at me, and then knelt: "The servant sees Her Royal Highness Princess Jingwu, may Her Royal Highness the princess be a thousand years old Yongtai!" ”

I was stunned, but the prince's brother touched my arm and said with a smile: "Si'er, you are the princess from the queen of Yan, and they should respect you." ”

Before long, the bead curtain was squeezing, and a palace woman in a very gorgeous costume came out of it, because she said to the prince's brother: "The queen mother is here......" is not a rusty singing ceremony, it seems to be just a little bit, let the prince know that the queen has come. At a glance, the relationship between the East Palace and the pepper room can be regarded as good.

The elder brother said and said, "My son sees my mother's concubine, and I wish my mother a thousand years of eternal peace and happiness." ”

Picked out a pair of very good-looking hands in his sleeves, wearing emerald green on his wrists, and the moment that hand touched the prince, he paused steadily: "Good boy, you are here!" What about my sister? ”

As soon as the words fell, she saw me, and the moment her eyes were really glued, tears were in her eyes. “…… Si'er. "She called me, she called me that.

I think, if my mother is still here, I was born eight years ago, and I will see you again at this time, but I am afraid that it will be such a scene and such a look. I was suddenly a little moved, and there are rules, how many times have my mother and grandmother taught me-

Because of kneeling: "Jingwu sees the queen mother, may the queen mother be happy forever." ”

It was a greeting that I had just learned, and the people in the palace were so strange that they all loved this set of false etiquette. The queen of the middle palace must have heard it countless times, but just as I finished speaking, a crystal light flashed in her pupils—

With a slight movement, tears actually climbed up his cheeks!

"Si'er ......"

She is my mother, and she is the only person in the palace who is good to me except for my brother after I returned to the Han Palace.

But the joy on her face only passed for a moment, and she glanced at the prince with some timidity—

She is the queen, but she rarely sees the bearing of the mother's world, although she loves the prince, but for a moment it makes me feel that she is a little afraid of the prince.

The crown prince was a little unhappy.

This unhappiness is coming at me.

Donggong didn't look at me, but he was talking to me, and he said slowly: "Si'er, our queen mother is the queen of Gong Xu who has entered Duling, the 'old sword' of her father, and she was hired as his wife when his father was long, and she is in her father's ...... And in my heart, no one can match. There is another meaning hidden in the words: "Si'er, your queen mother, there is only one." ”

I swas. No wonder Queen Wang is so gentle and kind, she has been enshrined as a queen by her father, but the prince still calls her "mother concubine".

I followed behind the prince's brother and shouted timidly: "Mother ......"

She should. When he turned around, the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

This night was the most lively night I had in the palace. Looking back many years later, it was still the warmest night in the cold winter when I first entered the palace.

The queen has treated me very well. There has never been a rift between her and the crown prince. In addition to the claim of "queen mother", the prince respects her and loves her, and is obedient to her, she is the queen, and she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother to the prince.

She hugged the eight-year-old me, and softly asked the palace man who was warming the stove to get closer, and let out a faint heater, rubbing my sideburns slightly itchy. I shrunk into her arms, only feeling warm, like being held by my mother and grandmother in the old house at the corner of Chang'an Street.

This was also my mother's pepper room.

Pepper room, pepper room, with pepper and mud to coat the wall, room temperature and aroma. Where the queen lives, her nobles dare not look at it. My mother, the queen of my father's wife, is here.

The queen is like a ceremony, no matter how noble she is, even if she is favored by her father, she still becomes a ghost under the spring.

How sinister the palace is, the emperor, my majestic father, can't even protect his women. In this house.

How terrible is that.

He forsaken me like a wreck, but he thought of my birth mother like a liquor. Most of the world's injustices and sins are like this, and they grind people back and forth. If I hadn't been instructed to return to Shanglin Yuan at my father's behest, maybe I wouldn't have known the story buried in the South Garden for the rest of my life.

South Park Bereavement. Therefore, the sword is deep.

Later, my brother and I stood side by side at the head of the city, and spent the festival with the people on the night of Shangyuan. I pestle it, and when I saw my father watching coldly, I thought: Will my father's people know that they have the most affectionate king in the world?

At the beginning of spring, I finally moved to Shanglin Yuan Yichun/Palace, which is still the kindness of the "mother" Queen Wang and the queen begging for the monarch's father - my trip has been delayed for a long time.

When leaving, it is a grand majesty. The prince's brother sent it in person.

Ten miles of red silk, there is no plan for baht. The people of Chang'an City know that this guard of honor was placed by the princess, and the one who moved into Shanglin Yuan was the princess of the Han family.

The last time someone from the palace came, it was a long time ago, and the palace people were deposed in Zhaotai and abandoned by the emperor. It is similar to the fate of Empress Jingdi Bo.

It turned out that Jingwu's life, in the eyes of the monarch's father, was nothing more than that.

His abandoned wives and daughters all lived in the forest.

I was in Yichun/Gong, like a long joint, and in another year, I jumped up half a head. Mama and A-Niang no longer chase me to feed, I am much more sensible.

Once, A-Niang asked me: "Jingwu, do you remember what happened outside the palace?" ”

Even Ah Niang called me "Jingwu", and she even asked me if I remembered the "Erya". I'm not a "second girl"!

I shook my head: "Ah Niang, you have forgotten about Jì Erya, and Erya has also forgotten." ”

A-Niang was a little sad, she looked up at the new willows on the branches, her eyes were full of tears, she sighed: "Erya, don't blame your brother, he ......"

I shook my head and wiped my tears: "Of course it's not weird! Brother is for my good! I think it's better to be here than outside. - I've grown so much taller! ”
