52, the palace (two watches)

But the carriage stopped only a little at the gate before proceeding on its way. The main gate of the palace has always been open. What's more, she has nothing to do with Prince Gong's mansion, how could she open the main door for her. It seems that the guards are planning to go around to the corner gate of the palace. At this time, Sheng Xuejian opened the curtain and asked, "Does the fourth aunt really live in the palace?" ”

In fact, Sheng Xue was puzzled in her heart, although the fourth aunt was married to the general manager of the palace, she would not be able to live in the palace, right? The guard smiled, slowed down the speed of the carriage and explained: "Miss doesn't know, the chief who lives in Prince Gong's mansion is a retinue who followed the prince to fight in all directions, and in this palace, the prince specially split a piece of residence for our commander-in-chief. ”

Another guard also said: "Our prince is famous for his love and righteousness, and Prince Gong's mansion is not like the deep mansion compound next to it, you don't have to be afraid, Fifth Miss." The guards thought that Sheng Xue was shocked by the majesty of the palace, so he comforted him. Sheng Xue saw that she nodded, and lowered the curtain.

The two guards didn't know that she just entrusted her younger brother to her aunt, and then she was going to Chizhou to find her father. The carriage turned around the corner and came to a corner gate. There was already a soft sedan waiting there. Sheng Xue saw that her younger brother had just gotten off the carriage, and a round-faced grandmother greeted her, and said softly: "I look forward to Miss Biao coming!" There was a rush of enthusiasm in that tone, which made Sheng Xuejian's heart warm.

The nurse got out of the car with Sheng Xuehan in her arms, and when she turned her head, she saw the round-faced grandmother, and immediately smiled on her face: "Chunxiang!" The round-faced grandmother had just opened the curtain for Sheng Xuejian, and when she turned around and saw the nurse, she was also happy. The two of them were old acquaintances in the Bai family, and later married with the young lady of the Bai family. Now that we can meet again, we are all excited and emotional.

Mama Chunxiang stepped forward a few steps, holding the nurse's arm, her eyebrows and eyes were warm: "I can't imagine that in my lifetime, we can see each other again, it's really not easy." These words were sensational, and even Sheng Xue in the sedan chair couldn't help but wet his eyes. The guard smiled and persuaded him, "Isn't this a meeting?" Don't waste time here, our consul's wife is still waiting! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! You see I'm all confused! Mama Chunxiang rubbed her eyes and hurriedly ordered the people below to get up the sedan chair. I have to sigh at the size of the palace, and from the door to my aunt's residence, I have to use a sedan chair to carry it. Luzhou Shengfu is incomparable. Sheng Xue thought about it for a while, and saw how her aunt was going to say that she was going to Chizhou.

Along the way, Mama Chunxiang held the sedan chair and told Sheng Xuejian about the pattern and rules of the palace, and told her some things to pay attention to. After all, they are relatives of the emperor and the country, and the rules that should be there are strict in the end. "Miss Biao, this Prince Gong's mansion is very large, and there are more than 100 large and small rooms. The prince's family lives in Dongyuan. The West Garden is the study and martial arts training ground of the princes, and the large area of the South Garden is the prince's meeting hall and the Tibetan Sword Building. This north garden is inhabited by the people of the royal palace. Our consul's wife lives in the courtyard of Beiyuan. ”

At the end, Mama Chunxiang added another sentence and said: "Prince Gong's Mansion is not too prohibitive, but Miss Biao still don't go to the West Garden and the East Garden, so as not to collide." Sheng Xue saw that she had memorized Mama Chunxiang's words one by one, and nodded cautiously. Although she can't stay in Shengjing for a few days, she still needs to be careful.

It was the kung fu of speaking, and the sedan chair had already arrived at the residence of the fourth aunt Bai He. Sheng Xue saw that the sedan chair followed Mama Chunxiang through the main gate and the hanging flower gate, and walked along the hand-copying verandah to the innermost main house. Mama Chunxiang opened the bead curtain at the door and said happily: "Madam, Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin are here!" ”

"Quick! Please come in! A gentle voice rang out from inside the door. The voice was warm and soft, very familiar, like a mother's voice. When I thought of my mother Sheng Xue, I couldn't help but have a sour nose when I saw it. She was even more curious about what this fourth aunt looked like. Turning the door, there was a young beautiful woman sitting on the couch in the middle of the room, different from her mother's amazement, her eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, it was a warm age, soothing the sadness in people's hearts. She looks five points like her mother.

Bai He looked at the female doll in front of her, with the same face as her sister when she was a child, and the kind of family affection that was thicker than water was rendered in the bottom of her heart in an instant. She couldn't help but open her arms and shouted at Sheng Xuejian: "Good boy, come to my aunt!" Probably because family affection has its own power, Sheng Xue, who has always been cautious and vigilant, rushed towards Bai He's arms.

"Auntie!" Plunging into her aunt's arms, Sheng Xue finally couldn't hold back crying, she buried her head in her aunt's arms, not wanting people to see her tears. After so many days of solitary support, he suddenly found a support, like a bird that was about to die of thirst, and finally saw the water source. It's like a child who has lost his soul and finally found a home.

Sheng Xue's reaction made Bai He's heart even more sad, she slowly patted Sheng Xuejian's back with one hand, but she couldn't help but shed tears. Mama Chunxiang had no choice but to step forward and comfort: "Madam, Miss Cousin, don't cry, how happy you are when we first met." Madam, Miss Cousin has been tired all the way, and she is hungry at this time. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! We haven't eaten yet! "The people of the Bai family like to call Sheng Xuejian's milk name, which makes Sheng Xuejian feel even more cordial. Bai He let go of Sheng Xuejian, took her hand and walked to the table, the girls had already set up a table full of dishes. "This is your home, whatever Ah Man wants to eat, my aunt will let someone make it for you! After a while, your two cousins got out of school and took you to play together. ”

Although Bai He is Bai Zhi's younger sister, Bai He gave birth to children earlier than Bai Zhi, so Sheng Xuejian has two seven-and-a-half-year-old cousins, and the two are still twins, which often makes people unable to distinguish. But Sheng Xue saw that she still had any thoughts to play now, she only thought about going to Chizhou to take care of her father, to find out the murderer of her mother, and to take revenge!

Bai He looked at Sheng Xue and didn't move his chopsticks, looking depressed. Vaguely guessed Sheng Xuejian's thoughts, so he waved his hand and said to Chunxiang's grandmother: "Tell them all to go down." Mama Chunxiang nodded, took a group of subordinates out, and left Bai He and Sheng Xue in the room.

"I know you want revenge, you want to go to Chizhou." Bai He looked at Sheng Xue with a serious expression. "But have you ever thought that with your current strength, you are enough to compete with the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Bai He sandwiched a piece of chicken and put it in Sheng Xuejian's bowl and said, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to take revenge!" (To be continued.) )
