I was looking at the ten princes Qi Qing in a daze, Qi Qing was also looking at me with big round eyes, his little face was flushed, he was full of gold and jade, and his childishness had not faded, and he was looking at me with a smile and panting.

I haven't said anything yet, but he said tenderly, "Eighth sister-in-law!" Then he pounced on me.

I was unguarded and was thrown to the ground all of a sudden, the wound was slightly opened, and I grinned in pain, Qi Qing hurriedly got up and helped me: "Eighth sister-in-law, eighth sister-in-law, I pressed you, right?" ”

I looked at this little kid and said secretly in my heart: Oh, it really hurts my mother, if I didn't see that he was still a minor, I would have beaten him! I trembled and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

Qingge had already come in with a medicine box, and while checking my injury, he reprimanded Qi Qing: "I just said that the master should not come in, I have to come, don't say that the mother will not be able to see each other before she has freshened up, even if this injury is not healed, it is inconvenient to see people." ”

I stopped Qingge from looking at my wounds: "It's okay, didn't you say it all." ”

Qingge glanced at Qi Qing again, withdrew his hand, and packed up the medicine box.

Qi Qing pouted, and the boss looked unhappy: "I'm just here to see." ”

I smiled: "Okay, Qingge, you go down first and prepare early, I'll wash myself here." ”

Qingge pursed his lips, looked at me reluctantly, didn't move, I smiled: "But it's going to rebel, I actually don't move, yes, even the prince and prince dare to reprimand, Qingge, are you going crazy?" ”

Qingge smiled angrily: "Yes, I'll go to the kitchen." Before leaving, he gave a blank look and frightened.

Qi Qing stuck out his tongue and grimaced.

I re-put on the veil and prepared to wash my face, and asked Qi Qing: "Say, what is the matter with the eighth sister-in-law?" We didn't have anything to do with each other before, did we? Isn't it? ”

Qi Qing looked at this and that unhappily: "I just don't have anyone to play with me, and the queen mother has no time to accompany me recently, I heard a few old palace people say that the eighth sister-in-law is here, so I rushed over early in the morning." ”

I put a handkerchief on my face and thought to myself, "What a child."

Seeing that I didn't react, Qi Qing said childishly: "Besides, I have an intersection with the eighth sister-in-law, haven't you seen it at the Chongyang Palace banquet?" It's also an old acquaintance, sister-in-law, you can play with me. ”

I thought about it, and there was no harm, and there was one more person to be a palace tour guide, and no one dared to criticize me for eating and playing, so I took down the veil: "Okay, I'll play with you!" ”

When Qi Qing heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really? ”

I nodded: "Of course it's true, or retract the hook?" ”

Qi Qing hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the hook: "It's decided!" ”

I whispered: "However, your father has sent someone here, and you won't allow me to go out until the injury is healed, do you have a way to avoid it?" ”

Qi Qing thought about it and smiled brightly: "This is easy, I'll give you a set of palace maid's clothes, anyway, there are not many people in this palace who know you." ”

I was also very happy to hear it: "Okay, let's do it!" ”

……

Hurriedly urged by Qi Qing to have breakfast, I took Qingge out, then changed the clothes of the palace maid, and slipped out with Qi Qing from the corner door at the back.

The tour guide took me to the stone road far away from Chenji Palace, and asked me tenderly: "Eighth sister-in-law, do you have any places you want to go?" ”

I thought for a moment: "Cold Palace! ”

Qi Qing seemed to be choked: "Eighth sister-in-law, what are you doing there?" ”

I looked at the palace people coming and going: "Don't call me the eighth sister-in-law, I will be heard by the palace people." ”

Qi Qing's fleshy little face twisted together: "What is that calling you?" ”

"It's called Chuxi, okay, let's go!"

"Where are you going, sister-in-law—no, Chuxi."

"Cold Palace." I pulled Qi Qing forward, stopped halfway through, Qi Qing bumped into me all of a sudden, rubbed his little face and said unhappily, "Why did you stop?" ”

I smiled awkwardly, "I don't know where the cold palace is......"

Qi Qing shook his head, pretended to sigh as an old man, pulled me around, and walked in the opposite direction: "Chu Xi, you are so stupid, how can you be the mother of the world in the future." ”

I knocked on Qi Qing's head and laughed angrily: "You little broken child, you dare to talk about me!" ”

Qi Qing shook his head in front of him, pretending to clear his throat: "cough cough cough, dare to say this about this king again, be careful that this king has sent you down!" ”

"Yes, lord, the slave and maid don't dare anymore."

Qi Qing was happy to hear this, jumping up and down and pulling me away, while babbling and talking about taking me to eat pastries for a while, I looked at the child in front of me and thought: Sure enough, it's still a child!

All the way to the cold palace, in a small corner of the palace, secluded and quiet, but like a chic place, not like a cold palace, if it were not for the cumulative patina on the door knocker, I would think that this is just a concubine's place, not a cold palace.

Qi Qing stood on the steps in front of the door, turned around and asked me, "Chu Xi, you haven't told me that Weishenme is coming to the cold palace?" ”

I looked at it carefully and replied, "Two reasons, one, I haven't been here, and two, curiosity." Qiqing, don't you have these two reasons? ”

Qi Qing nodded, seemed to agree with my words, and then complained to me: "Chu Xi, your Qi Qing is so lively, call me Ah Qing." ”

I nodded, looked at the palace gate of the cold palace, and wondered: "No one enters or leaves here all year round, how can the food and clothing of the people inside be good?" ”

Qi Qing pointed to a huge wooden drawer-like box on the courtyard wall: "Oh, that's it, on the fifteenth day of the new year, the people outside put some supplies and food, or cloth and rice noodles there, and the people inside pull them inside, just like the nursery outside the palace, isn't it like many people abandon their babies?" ”

I secretly admired what a clever thought, Qi Qing had already knocked on the door, so I stood quietly outside the door and waited for the people inside to open the door.

After a while, a woman opened the door, looked at me and Qi Qing and asked softly, "If you don't dislike it, why don't you go in and sit down?" ”

I smiled and bowed to the woman and went in, and the door was closed behind me, and there was a different scene before me.

It is already a cold and bleak season, the grass and trees in the courtyard have withered and yellowed, but you can still see that the flowers and trees in the once warm days are luxuriant, the small palace room is simple but clean, the fields in the open space outside are neat, the tea on the stone table in the courtyard is still steaming, and the stone bench is still placed on a thick coarse cloth cushion.

Qi Qing was already sitting on the stone bench, and unceremoniously picked up the small snacks on the table and ate them, and praised the deliciousness, I hurriedly went over to stop it, but the woman behind me had already spoken: "Let him go, you can also sit down." ”

I sat aside, and the woman carefully poured the tea and handed it to me, and I hurriedly thanked me: "You don't wonder why we are here?" ”

The woman drank her tea carefully: "I am here by fate. ”

I had many, many questions to ask, and she looked at my expression, smiled, and said slowly: "I am the concubine of the first emperor, and I have been here for many years. ”

I was greatly surprised, she looked like she was only thirty years old, how could she be the concubine of the first emperor, now that the saint is already a sixtieth year, how can this concubine be so young?
