147. Childhood sweetheart
[Extra: Deyin Baiyu (I)]
After his cousin Wei Feng ascended the throne, Wei Deyin jumped from "Princess Heyi" to "Princess Heyi" at the age of ten.
Jinshang gave her a princess mansion outside the palace, but because she was too young, the emperor and the queen mother were reluctant, so Wei Deyin did not move out of the palace and still lived in the former Rongyin Palace. This move is exactly like the queen's mother's mind, there is no one in the harem, there is no one to talk to on weekdays, Wei Deyin stayed in the palace, and accidentally went to the Wushuang Hall to see her, and played with the three children, but it did not seem that the palace was too deserted.
On this day, the master got out of class and assigned a few homework, and Wei Deyin came out of the upper study and went straight to the Wushuang Palace.
The first few friends who were in class together chased her out and wanted to talk to her, but when they saw that she ran away as soon as she slipped away, they had to stop. Because there are not many imperial heirs in this generation, not only the princes and princesses can come to the study, but also the sons and daughters of high-ranking officials and important ministers in the court can also enter the palace to study and read to the imperial heirs.
Wei Deyin's companion is Han Sumei, the daughter of Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar, Han Sumei is one year older than her, eleven this year, with a peugeot appearance, clear eyebrows, and a generous and cheerful personality, and Wei Deyin is a handkerchief friend.
"Your Highnessβ" Han Sumei chased out of the upper study, and then looked under the corridor, where was there still the shadow of Wei Deyin?
When Wei Deyin arrived at the Wushuang Palace, he hurried to see Wei Wuwu.
The little princess Wei Wuwu had an illness before, the low-grade fever did not go away, and she had diarrhea, which made the queen mother anxious. Wei Deyin came to visit Wei Wuwu almost every day, but fortunately, the little guy was almost better yesterday, the fever had subsided, and the person was in good spirits, but the little face with a big palm had lost weight, and it was distressing to look at.
When Wei Deyin arrived, Wei Wuwu was lying in the cradle bed, holding a golden lychee bell in his little hand, jingling the bell, and shaking it curiously. Standing beside the cradle bed were two boys of the same age, one in a royal blue brocade robe and the other in an azure brocade robe, staring at their sister in the bed with good eyes, as if they would rush up at once if she felt the slightest discomfort.
Seeing Wei Deyin coming, Wei Zhiheng and Wei Zhilu turned around and shouted, "Auntie." β
After the New Year, Zhiyan and Zhiyu will be five years old, and it is time to go to the study to study. Wei Deyin pinched their faces and asked, "Why are you two standing here and not going outside to play?" β
These children have inherited the advantages of their parents, and they are born with pink and jade, jade snow is cute, and their skin is too good to be true, smooth and tender. Wei Deyin has grown up and gradually understood how beautiful, I don't know how much I envy these children at this time.
Wei Zhiheng held a copy of "Chu Ci" in his hand, sat upside down on the embroidered pier next to the cradle, and the old god was saying: "Auntie doesn't know, I want to stay here to see my sister, and my sister will cry if she can't see me." β
Wei Deyin stared at the book in his hand, a little surprised, "Childish words, you read Chu Ci at such a young age?" β
Wei Zhiheng nodded. Not only "Chu Ci", but also "The Book of Songs" and "Tang Three Hundred" He finished reading.
Wei Deyin said that he wanted to test him, but the little guy had no fear on his face, and said generously.
As a result, no matter what Wei Deyin asked, he could memorize it, and he memorized it like a stream. Wei Deyin was quite devastated, you must know that she has only started to learn "Chu Ci" now, and she can't memorize it as well as this little nephew in some places.
Wei Zhilu saw that his aunt's eyes were full of reverence when she looked at her brother, and she couldn't help but tear down the stage, "Auntie, my brother can only study, that day Yin Ge's grandson fought with his brother, and his brother couldn't beat others, and in the end, I went up to help, so my brother was not beaten." β
Wei Zhiheng was exposed by his younger brother, paused, and said with some embarrassment: "...... He's fatter than me. β
Yin Ge's grandson is the same generation as them, the son of Su Xi's cousin, named Yin Baiyu, who is as old as the two of them, and is a round little fat man. That time, I didn't know what conflict Zhi Yan and Yin Baiyu had, the two little dolls twisted into a ball and fought. Yin Baiyu relied on her weight advantage and pressed on Zhiyan all of a sudden, overwhelming Zhiyan, and later it was her younger brother Zhiyu who came to help, and the two won disgracefully when they fought one.
Later, Yin Baiyu was naturally punished by his grandfather Yin Ge Lao, and apologized to the two little princes, and the matter was over.
Zhiyu didn't give his brother face at all, "But I can beat him, and my father said that a man should be a man who should be martial arts, so that he can protect his mother and sister in the future." β
Not to be outdone: "Have you memorized the Tang poems that your mother asked you to memorize?" β
Childish: "......" The little guy immediately stopped talking, he was busy learning martial arts with the master invited by his father in the past few days, and Tang Shi didn't even look at it.
Zhiyan jumped down from the embroidery pier and walked out of the hall, "I'll tell you that you haven't read a book in the past few days." β
Zhiyu hurriedly chased after him and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, brother, brother, we have something to say......"
Wei Deyin watched the two of them bickering and thought it was very interesting. Wei Wuwu in the cradle also giggled.
In the end, Zhiyu still didn't stop Zhiyan, and the two of them dragged to the Wushuang Hall and took a look inside.
Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Zhiyan asked the palace maid standing at the door, "Where is my mother?" β
In the face of such a small little guy, the palace maid carefully chose the words, "Niangniang and His Majesty are resting in the warm pavilion." β
After lunch today, I usually take a lunch break with the queen for half an hour. Zhiyan took his brother's hand and walked lightly towards the warm pavilion. Every time my father and mother were together, they didn't ask them to watch in front of them, and the two little ones became curious, but they forgot what they were here for, and just wanted to secretly see what their father and mother were doing.
The two of them walked behind the screen of the rosewood inlaid luodian base, Zhiyan stretched out his head first, and Zhiyu's head was next to him, and two pairs of big black eyes looked at the window couch at the same time.
I saw my father lying on the couch on his side, hugging his mother tightly, and his long body almost covered his mother.
Zhiyan and Zhiyu looked at the two people who were inseparable from each other, blinked, and winked again. Still Zhiyan reacted in time, quickly stretched out his little paw to cover his brother's eyes, and dragged him out of the warm pavilion.

Su Xi woke up from her dream, as if she heard the voices of her two sons.
"Hmm, have you been here...... childish words" Before she finished speaking, she felt that Wei Feng hugged herself too tightly, and her shoulders hurt. She struggled slightly, wanting to turn her head to look at Wei Feng, but his head was buried in her neck socket, she couldn't move, blinked her eyes, and asked puzzledly, "Cousin Tingzhou?" β
Wei Feng didn't say a word, his arms wrapped around her body hard, as if he wanted to embed her into his own flesh.
Su Xi laughed, "What's wrong with you, are you having a nightmare?" It's almost time, you still have to go to the study, it's time to get up, right? β
A nightmare indeed. For Wei Feng, there is no more terrifying dream.
In the dream, just like Su Xi had told him in his previous life, she did not marry him, and finally married into the Luyang Marquis Mansion. In the last life, they always seemed to be a little bit off fate, and they kept missing it, they each had their own lives, she and Fu Shaoyun were childhood sweethearts, and Li Yanding became married. And he didn't have her in his life. The last time I saw her, she was covered in wounds, lying helpless and pitiful in front of him, reaching out and grabbing his sleeve, like a dying little animal, and even breathing was terrifying.
He was right in front of her, but there was nothing he could do.
Later, he ascended the throne and clearly got the world, but he always felt as if something was missing, and his heart was empty.
Until he went to her grave to take a look.
Looking at the two words "Su Xi" on the tombstone, the few meetings he had with her gradually became clear. When she was three years old, she stood in front of him, and the jade snow was pink, and invited him to eat her leftover snacks; When she was ten years old, she rescued a cat under a tree in the governor's palace, and the cat pounced on her head and fell to the ground in a hurry; At the age of twelve, she overheard him talking to Yin Mingming, and was discovered by him, with an embarrassed face, and said "I didn't see anything."
β¦β¦
Unfortunately, he woke up too late, and by the time he noticed something, she was gone.
The huge court, without her by her side, is so lonely.
Wei Feng hugged Su Xi, motionless, and said in a dumb throat for a long time: "I won't go today." "Fortunately, it was just a dream, but fortunately, Su Xi was in his arms, and he didn't marry anyone else, nor did he leave him.

Wei Deyin played with Wei Wuwu for a while, and saw that it was not early, and the homework assigned by the master today had not been completed, so he didn't stay long and returned to the Rongyin Palace.
The next day, when the master was lecturing above, Han Sumei picked up a book and put it in front of his face, and secretly looked at Wei Deyin, "Your Highness, where did you go yesterday?" Didn't we say we would go to my house to play? β
Wei Deyin blinked and smiled embarrassedly, "I forgot." She just watched her little niece go.
Han Sumei invited: "Then the day after tomorrow, my brother's birthday, will you go?" My mother specially invited a chef from Jiangnan, who would make a variety of dim sum, and also invited a singing troupe, which would be lively at that time. β
"Go." Wei Deyin's eyes were crooked, and he happily agreed. Maybe it's because she doesn't have many friends, she likes lively places, the palace is usually quiet, she speaks loudly, she may be trained, she likes to listen to the troupe, and likes to make other friends.
"Ahem." The two of them were talking below, and the master on the stage coughed lightly, and the bottom immediately fell silent.
A few days later, it was Han Sumei's brother Han Chen's birthday.
Wei Deyin asked the Queen Mother early, and when the Queen Mother saw that she was old, she didn't detain her like she did when she was a child, and arranged four palace maids and two grandmothers, as well as seven or eight guards, to follow her out of the palace. When she arrived at the University Scholar's Mansion, Han Sumei and Han Chen stood at the door and welcomed her into the mansion.
Han Chen is thirteen this year, with handsome facial features, with a youthful youth, and he smiled very cheerfully when he looked at Wei Deyin.
"See Your Highness."
Wei Deyin took out the prepared gift and handed it to Han Chen, "Sister Mei said that you went to Sansong Academy to study, then you should be able to use this set of four treasures of the study." I begged it from my sister-in-law and gave it to you. β
The smile on Han Chen's face deepened, "Thank you, Your Highness." β
Because of his young age, he doesn't have to worry too much about the difference between men and women. The other guests were all in Han Chen's maple garden, and when Han Chen led Wei Deyin over, he saw several twelve or thirteen-year-old teenagers sitting in a circle under a camphor tree, playing with pitching pots.
After a few rounds of play, they got farther and farther away, and the caliber of the pot became smaller and smaller, and finally only two or three people remained.
Wei Deyin saw Su Baiyu sitting in the middle at a glance, Su Baiyu was wearing an azure robe today, he was very tall, and he was the most upright among the teenagers of the same age when he sits. The other two didn't hit, he raised his hand, only took a look, and threw the arrow in his handβ
Just listen to the crisp sound of "ding", and the arrow feather enters the pot.
There were a few cheers around.
"Good!"
"Su Gongzi is so accurate!"
Next to him, Han Sumei also smiled and echoed: "Young Master Su is really amazing!" β
This sound attracted the attention of the people on the other side, and they all turned their heads to look. Su Baiyu's eyebrows were indifferent, and he turned around, slightly stunned when he looked at Wei Deyin. He and Wei Deyin haven't seen each other for a long time, the last time they met, it was during the little princess Wei Wuwu's 100-day banquet, Wei Deyin lived in the palace, he lived outside the palace, and the two of them were getting older, so it was not so easy to meet.
Su Baiyu's gaze turned slightly, and landed on Han Chen next to Wei Deyin, and his thin lips pursed without a trace.
Han Chen introduced Wei Deyin's identity to the rest of the people, and several people saluted one after another.
"It's windy outside, go down and sit in the house." Han Chen knew that Wei Deyin was not in good health when he was a child, so he said thoughtfully.
Wei Deyin said okay and followed Han Chen to the house.
The next few people stood up, probably because they were afraid of Wei Deyin's identity, and they didn't play as much as they wanted just now, discussed it, and prepared to go to the backyard lake to enjoy the scenery. Su Baiyu stood still, looking at the backs of Han Chen and Wei Deyin.
Wei Deyin took two steps, didn't know what to remember, suddenly stopped, and while Han Chen and Han Sumei were talking, he looked back at Su Baiyu, bent his eyes, and secretly smiled at him.
