Chapter Ninety-Five: Reminiscing About the Past
In the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial garden is bright and sunny, and the sound of laughter is constant. "Mother, mother, you can play with Kai'er for a while." The little child shook his mother's hand and said coquettishly, the child looked very cute, and the appearance of his small mouth was even more pitiful, and anyone who saw such a picture would feel heartwarming.
"The mother concubine can't run, let the honeysuckle play with you." Fu Qingwu took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead for Huangfu Runkai, looking very fond of this child.
"That Kai'er won't play anymore, accompany the mother concubine." After speaking, he patted Fu Qingwu lightly on the back, which made Fu Qingwu very happy.
But after all, it is a child's heart, where can he really sit still, but after a while, he ran away and played with the palace maids.
"Our little prince is really sensible, and the mother is really blessed." Honeysuckle laughed on the side, Fu Qingwu looked at the children running and laughing in the distance, and there was also a look of satisfaction on his face. It's been five years, Chu Xiangwan has left the palace for five years, her good life has passed for five years, she is now Concubine Li, and she is no longer the submissive little concubine before, with this child, Huangfu Jingwen's favor for her has increased day by day, making her the most sacred concubine in this palace after Chu Xiangwan. Originally, she just wanted to borrow Kai'er to get more Sacred Heart, but as time went by, she liked this child more and more, as if this child was really a piece of meat that fell from her body, and she couldn't give it up.
Zizhang beside her smashed Qian'er's arm and motioned for her to restrain her expression. Qian'er was unhappy when she heard Honeysuckle's words, what do you mean by "our little prince"? This child is obviously her young lady's. Chu Xiangwan's disappearance is already a well-known secret in the palace, and the cause of the incident is the drunken nonsense of a doctor who doesn't know the severity or the whispers of the little palace maid in Guan Ju Palace, in short, the news that the imperial concubine is no longer in the palace has spread like this, but no one dares to mention it on the surface. Chu Huaifeng even went to the palace to ask the emperor about the matter because he knew about it, but was stopped by Zizhang, and finally learned the truth, so he also sent people to look for Chu Xiangwan everywhere, but unfortunately there was still no news.
Although Qian'er is not good at scheming, but after following Concubine Li for five years, she has more or less understood that this Concubine Li is not as gentle and harmless as it seems on the surface, and she does not have any deep sisterly affection for Chu Xiangwan. All of this may be for the only man in the harem. Zizhang also persuaded her, let her be patient, don't annoy Concubine Li, their task is to take care of the little prince. Therefore, Qian'er has been protecting the little prince like protecting her own life over the years, although Zizhang once revealed that Miss left the palace voluntarily, but she always had a feeling that Miss would definitely come back.
"See the Emperor." Kai'er in front of him ran too fast, didn't pay attention to someone coming, his small body couldn't stop, and he hit the body of the person who came at once, it was Huangfu Jingwen, so he withdrew from the school and kowtowed like an adult: "Erchen see my father." ”
"Okay, okay, get up." Huangfu Jingwen will be happy when he sees this child, looking at this child, he seems to be able to see Chu Xiangwan's appearance, although this child is very similar to his facial features, but this child's body can always let him see Chu Xiangwan's shadow. For a moment, he fell into deep thought.
"The concubines see the emperor." Fu Qingwu came over from afar and knelt down to say goodbye.
"Well, get up." Huangfu Jingwen came back to his senses.
"Come, mother concubine, don't be tired of your father." Fu Qingwu stretched out his hand.
"No, no, no, I want my father." The child is tired of being in the arms of Huangfu Jingwen and does not let go.
"Okay, it's good for my father to hold Kai'er and rest for a while."
"Yes."
After a while, the child fell asleep, and Fu Qingwu instructed Zizhang and Qian'er, "You guys take the second prince down." ”
Zizhang is nothing, but Qian'er's face was unhappy for a moment, this Fu Qingwu is like this every time, as long as the emperor is there, he will try his best to separate her and Zizhang, the purpose is just to not want them to be in front of the emperor so that the emperor will think of the old people, but she still thought that Fu Qingwu really had a deep sisterhood with the young lady.
Zizhang and Qian'er went back to the hall with the child in their arms, and Huangfu Jingwen sat on the stone bench, looking at the plum blossoms in the garden. "'Plum blossoms fall thousands of pieces, still affectionate, learning snow with the wind,' used to be her favorite plum blossom in winter, but now it's 'a long time to see the people on the railing'." Huangfu Jingwen's sigh fell on Fu Qingwu's ears, making her face darken, the emperor always remembers Chu Xiangwan, it is her pain and her luck, success is also Xiao He defeat Xiao He is exactly like this, even if she hates in her heart, she has to endure it as much as possible, and she has to use Chu Xiangwan's sisterhood to firmly tie the emperor's heart.
"The emperor misses the imperial concubine again?" Fu Qingwu's hand touched Huangfu Jingwen's.
"Yes, every flower and scene in this palace is my memories with her. It's been five years, and she's been away from me for so long. Huangfu Jingwen said sadly.
"The emperor is affectionate and moving, sister, she is really a blessing." Fu Qingwu was sincere when he said this.
"What a blessing? In the past, she was suppressed by the queen mother and framed by the concubines, and her life was not comfortable, but now outside the palace, I don't know what kind of hard life she is living, I am sorry for her. ”
"The emperor sent someone to Jiangnan to look for it for a few more days, right? Is there a clue this time? Fu Qingwu tentatively said that she wanted to know the latest news so that she could deal with it.
Huangfu Jingwen shook his head: "Most of the people sent out have already returned, but they still haven't found anything. Hmph, there are too many good deeds who report false letters, today they say that they are here, tomorrow they say that they have seen them there, but unfortunately none of them are true. ”
"Don't be angry, my sister will find it back sooner or later." Fu Qingwu comforted, in fact, if Chu Xiangwan really came back, everything she got now would be lost, how could she be willing. Therefore, it's okay that Chu Xiangwan doesn't come back, once he comes back, the first person who will do it will be Fu Qingwu.
"Concubine Li, you have worked very hard in the past few years, Kai'er, you have taken good care of you, I am very pleased." Huangfu Jingwen turned his head and held Fu Qingwu's shoulder and said with a smile.
"The emperor is serious, it is right to take care of the prince, my sister used to be very good to me, and Kai'er was also very lovely, but now that my sister is not here, I should share my worries for the emperor." Fu Qingwu looked like he knew the righteousness.
"Good. Ma Hui," Huangfu Jingwen instructed, "go to the treasury and get the glazed bright moon jade hairpin that Nanyue entered the palace the day before yesterday and give it to Concubine Li." ”
"Your Majesty." Fu Qingwu knelt down, Chu Xiangwan is really a good card, as long as she plays this card well, she will always be so invincible in the palace.
