Chapter Ninety-Four: The Feeling of Home
In the carriage, Qianping and Jinqiu talked from time to time, but I didn't say a word. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info came back this time, my mood is not all joy, but also sadness, this sadness comes from a person far away in the northern desert, thinking of him in my heart, naturally no matter where I go, I can't let go.
I don't know what he is doing at this time, is he quietly practicing calligraphy in the study, or is he thinking about things with a slight frown, or is he thinking about the other party like me? I have never missed someone so deeply, this feeling is both annoying and liking.
In this way, I thought all the way, and before I knew it, I had arrived in the state of Chu.
Outside the main hall, the imperial grandmother and the imperial brother had already appeared there, and I hurriedly walked up.
"Imperial Grandmother, Bingxi is back." When I walked up to my grandmother, I said, tears flowed uncontrollably, and I cried with joy, and after saying that, I threw myself into her old man's arms like a child.
The imperial grandmother's face was full of smiles, kind eyes, and said kindly: "It's good to come back, you will be gone for a year, but the mourning family is looking forward to it every day, and finally looking forward to you back." β
"Yes, Imperial Sister, Imperial Grandmother is talking about you every day!"
The royal brother on the side, the current king, couldn't help but speak.
I got up from the arms of the imperial grandmother, looked at the imperial brother next to me and said, "What about the imperial brother, can you miss Bingxi like the imperial grandmother?" β
The imperial brother said seriously: "You, after a year, your naughty temperament has not changed at all." β
I didn't think so, stuck out my tongue at the imperial brother, and then smiled at the imperial grandmother.
The imperial brother shook his head helplessly, but it was the smile on the face of the imperial grandmother, and it could be seen that the imperial grandmother was very happy today.
In Renshou Palace, the imperial grandmother instructed the imperial dining room in the palace to prepare a lot of dishes, such as jade blue soup, small pork ribs with sauce flavor, lotus seed red bean paste, and ruyi periwincho............... I look at all the delicacies in front of me, and they are all my favorite foods.
I suddenly felt relieved in my heart, it turned out that my preferences, the imperial grandmother still remembered. I was moved for a while.
Renshou Palace, in addition to me and the imperial grandmother, there are also the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law, the so-called imperial sister-in-law is the queen of the imperial brother, Nalan Minhui, is the daughter of Ling Yin Nalan Fu, the woman has a good character, a gentle personality, and acts decently and generously, and is deeply loved by the imperial grandmother and appreciated by the imperial brother. Under her control, the harem is also well organized, saving a lot of worry for the royal brother.
"Come, this is specially ordered by the mourning family to make it in the imperial dining room, and they are all dishes you like to eat on weekdays." As she spoke, the imperial grandmother put a small piece of sauce-flavored pork ribs in my bowl.
"Thank you, Grandmother." I said, so I picked up the small ribs with chopsticks and put them in my mouth, and the taste was still crispy and delicious.
Seeing my greed at the moment, the imperial brother couldn't help but ask: "The Northern Desert is also a big country, and all kinds of delicacies are also available, why, that Murong Chenxi didn't treat you well and abused you?" β
As soon as the emperor's words came out, I choked while I was eating.
"Ahem, ahemγγγγγγγ"
"Slow down, eat slowly, I haven't seen you for a year, and your impatience hasn't changed at all." Grandmother patted me on the back in distress.
It wasn't until the contents of my mouth were swallowed in my stomach that I breathed a sigh of relief, I looked at the imperial brother and hurriedly explained: "Imperial brother, you misunderstood, Chen Xi treats me very well." β
"I saw you gobbling up food just now, and I thought you were being bullied in the Northern Desert, and you didn't eat and drink well." The royal brother smiled suddenly.
I thought to myself, Brother Huang, you and I grew up together, others don't know, don't you know your own sister? I have always been the only one who bullies others, how can I be bullied, this worry is probably superfluous. But seeing that the imperial brother was so concerned, he couldn't help but be happy.
"No, your imperial sister and I have a good life in the Northern Desert, you can rest assured of this." I patted my chest and said confidently to the imperial brother.
"It's just γγγγγγγγγγγγ"
"Just what?" The royal brother asked.
I looked at the imperial brother and sister-in-law, and then looked at the imperial grandmother, and said word by word: "It's just that no matter how good the outside is, it's not as good as the Chu State, the place where I was born and raised, it feels like home, this is my home, and in my heart, it can't be replaced anywhere." β
This place has my childhood memories, there are my dearest people, no matter where I go in the future, I will remember this place, miss it.
The imperial brother listened and nodded thoughtfully.
Nalan Minhui, the imperial sister-in-law who didn't say a word on the side, pursed her lips and laughed lightly, she said: "What Bingxi said is very true, but after listening to what Bingxi said just now, it seems that this fourth prince of the Northern Desert should take good care of you." β
"Imperial sister-in-law." I interrupted her, but I didn't expect the royal sister-in-law to focus on this topic, and just begged her to stop making fun of me.
The imperial sister-in-law, who has always been gentle and elegant, also learned to laugh today, and my face couldn't help but turn red when I said it, and I smiled stupidly, and then shyly lowered my head to eat and said nothing. Fortunately, the fourth master didn't come, otherwise he wouldn't know how to make fun of me afterwards when he saw me like this.
Maybe the royal brother rarely saw me who has always been very arrogant, and I would have an embarrassed side, snickering on the side, I secretly scolded the imperial brother a few times in my heart, and I had to have a good opportunity to retaliate in the future, hum, I don't know how to say a few words for me.
Fortunately, the imperial grandmother helped me out of the siege.
"Okay, don't talk patronizingly, Bingxi has just come back, and there will be time in the future, look at the dishes on this table, don't be burdened by the busy work of the mourning family."
The queen mother spoke, the imperial brother and the imperial sister-in-law looked at each other, nodded in response, focusing on the delicacies in front of me, I secretly glanced at the imperial grandmother, I didn't want to, just met the kind eyes of the imperial grandmother, and secretly cast a grateful gaze to her.
After dinner, the imperial brother and sister-in-law asked the imperial grandmother to say goodbye and left the Renshou Hall together, except for a few palace maids who served around them, there were only two people left in the Renshou Palace, me and the imperial grandmother.
"Bingxi, don't go back to the Cold Tide Hall tonight, stay here to talk to the imperial grandmother." The Imperial Grandmother pulled me to her side, and the Imperial Grandmother looked at me expectantly like a child, with a smile in her eyes.
"Okay, well, Bingxi won't go back tonight, just accompany the imperial grandmother in the Renshou Palace." I sat next to my grandmother, and I felt a lot of happiness.
I haven't seen her for a year, in the eyes of others, she is the queen mother who is high, and she is a strong and powerful woman in the Chu State, but in my eyes, she is just an ordinary person like an ordinary grandmother, eager to be accompanied by her relatives, deep in the palace of Nuoda, the biggest fear is loneliness and loneliness, no matter how high the status is, if there is no one around you who can talk from time to time, that is the greatest sorrow in life.
"Grandmother Huang, how are you doing this year?" I asked, remembering that in the days in the Northern Desert, the person who couldn't let go of the most in my heart was the imperial grandmother.
"Except that you are not around, everything else is fine, but Bingxi you, tell the imperial grandmother quickly, whether that Northern Desert Murong Chenxi bullied you, if he bullied you, you can tell me, the imperial grandmother can't spare him."
The imperial grandmother's series of questions, every word shows concern, you can see that the imperial grandmother is no less concerned than me.
Then the imperial grandmother continued: "You don't know that you are leaving, you always feel that something is missing in the palace, but the imperial grandmother thinks of you every day, and she knows how good it is to keep you by her side when she doesn't let you marry so far." β
In the words of the imperial grandmother, I heard that I regretted marrying me far away to the Northern Desert.
Remembering the emperor's grandmother's firm attitude, as the queen mother of the Chu State, every decision was carefully considered, once it was made that could not be easily changed, she didn't want to regret it today.
I smiled at the imperial grandmother and said, "Imperial grandmother, what about Bingxi, I have a good life in the Northern Desert, although Murong Chenxi looks cold and a little stern on the surface, he has experienced a lot in the past year, Bingxi knows very well in his heart that he treats me really well." β
Going around and around, I don't say whether I have a relationship with him in a past life, but in this life, he has tried his best to treat me sincerely, and I know that I am constantly involved with him.
"Oh? Is it? It's rare to see you praise others so much, listening to you say this, this Murong Chenxi is indeed good to you. In this way, the mourning family's original decision was right. The imperial grandmother said with relief.
"Except for Murong Chenxi, what about the others? You are not as good as you are in the Chu State in the Northern Desert, those people in the royal family are not as simple as you imagined, you need to pay attention to proportions in everything you do, and don't get into trouble. β
I listened carefully to the emperor's grandmother's explanations and took them to heart.
She's lived most of her life, and she's used to seeing a lot of things, and it's not like I haven't encountered what she said, but I don't want to tell her this, so as not to worry her. It is no longer time to serve and fulfill filial piety in front of her, she is old, and she should be enjoying the blessings, and she doesn't want to make her sad because of her own affairs. The road in the future needs me to walk on my own, I can't always live under the protection of the imperial grandmother, life will only grow after some setbacks, I believe that in the future, I will go on with confidence, because there is also Chenxi, he will accompany me to go down.
"I know, Imperial Grandmother, your granddaughter Bingxi has grown up, and she is no longer the ignorant and willful little girl, I will go on well in the future."
These words were not only said to the imperial grandmother, but also to oneself.
The imperial grandmother was stunned at first, and then laughed happily, she said: "Hehe, I haven't seen it for a year, my Xiaoice Xi has really grown up, it seems that this Murong Chenxi really chose the right one." β
"Imperial grandmother." I said coquettishly to the imperial grandmother, "In my heart, I will always be the imperial grandmother who loves me the most, and no one can replace her." β
The imperial grandmother still smiled happily, "I haven't hurt you for so many years, I have to stay a few more days when I come back this time, and I will accompany the mourning family well." β
"Yes, Bingxi obeys!" I replied, looking at the imperial grandmother with a smile on my face.
