The Great Qian Empire, the one hundred and thirty-fourth year of the imperial calendar, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The fluttering snow covered the whole of Kyoto in silver, and it is said that the snow is a good year, and the first day of the new year is full of snow, and the people of Kyoto are in a particularly good mood.

In the deep palace of the imperial city.

After the Chinese New Year, the concubines in the inner palace naturally received various rewards from His Majesty, of course, everyone will never get the same.

Early in the morning, I went to Fengrui Palace to greet the queen's mother, and Concubine Ning took her personal maid and slowly returned to her own Moon Palace, which was very close to the Star Picking Palace, and the two palaces were designed by the same skilled craftsman-

Collect the moon and pick the stars, which others cannot.

There have been a lot of rumors about the Star Picking Hall and the Moon Gathering Palace, but Concubine Ning has never taken it seriously. In the eyes of His Majesty, she has always been a dispensable role in the harem, with no deep background and no amazing wisdom, she is just the most ordinary of the three thousand concubines.

If it weren't for giving birth to a dragon son, Concubine Ning understood that she would never get this palace, let alone be named the imperial concubine.

"Mother!"

Snow-covered white walls.

At the gate of the Moon Palace, Qin Jinlin, who was in a purple python robe, stood there straight, with a rare gentle smile on his always indifferent face.

Hearing Qin Jinlin's voice, Concubine Ning's expressionless face swelled with joy, she immediately subconsciously quickened her pace, and soon came to Qin Jinlin's face: "Lin'er, when did you come?" ”

Concubine Ning habitually raised her hand and touched the back of Qin Jinlin's hand, which was cold and a little terrifying.

"Why don't you go in?"

Concubine Ning frowned and asked angrily.

"Huh."

Qin Jinlin just smiled faintly: "Mother, have you said hello to the queen?" ”

"Hmm."

Concubine Ning nodded, a touch of helplessness flashed in her eyes, she had long been accustomed to the queen's difficulties over the years. However, the queen's temper seems to be getting worse and worse recently, Concubine Ning has been living in the Moon Palace, and she is ignoring the affairs in the palace, but she also feels that this year may not be peaceful.

"Then let's go inside."

Hearing Concubine Ning's words, Qin Jinlin opened his mouth lightly, he didn't seem to see the look in Concubine Ning's eyes, and his face was still full of smiles: "Mother, I'll stay with you today." You must tell Huanyu to cook me something delicious. ”

"Whatever His Highness wants to eat, Huanyu will naturally do his best."

Concubine Ning's side of the palace maid Huanyu immediately volunteered on the side, from Concubine Ning moved to the Moon Palace, Huanyu has been waiting by her side, it can be said that she watched Qin Jinlin grow up, in the eyes of others, Qin Jinlin is an indifferent second prince, but in Huanyu's eyes, Qin Jinlin is a very filial and obedient child.

Hearing Huanyu's words, Qin Jinlin nodded with a smile, and then raised his hand to help Concubine Ning and walked into the gate of the Moon Palace.

The Moon Hall is a two-way courtyard, the courtyard of the first entrance is full of green calyx plums, these plum blossoms bloom just right, almost blending with the white snow, the fragrance of that courtyard, in this cold winter day is still refreshing.

When Qin Jinlin saw those plum blossoms, his footsteps paused slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"What's wrong?"

Concubine Ning on the side couldn't help but look sideways at her son with some confusion.

"It's nothing, mother, are those wisteria from the Star Picking Hall on the other side still there?"

Qin Jinlin's gaze crossed the courtyard wall of the Moon Hall and looked at the Star Picking Hall opposite, although there were often palace people cleaning there, but it had been a long time since the master had moved in, and the entire palace was deserted.

"Do you remember those wisterias, they died a long time ago and were cleaned up."

Concubine Ning smiled and shook her head: "Since Sister Rong left, the courtyard has been empty." ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Ning's eyes flashed as if she had thought of something: "Lin'er, don't you remember what happened when you were a child?" ”

"Huh?"

Qin Jinlin was really stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's all right."

Concubine Ning did not continue this topic, in this deep palace, what can be said and what cannot be said, Concubine Ning is still very clear.

"Oh."

Qin Jinlin didn't continue to ask, when he mentioned Concubine Rong, who had died a long time ago, his expression became cold, that lady treated him like a parent, and now Qin Jinlin can still remember her voice and smile, but it's a pity...... Hongyan has a thin life, and after her death, the Star Picking Hall was empty, and no one moved in again......

There are a lot of palace people in the Moon Palace, and the temperature of the inner hall is also very warm, and the emperor's rewards are still piled up indoors, and there are a lot of silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, these, every year Concubine Ning has to distribute a lot to the palace people, and the rest will be brought back to Nanjun's hometown in July every year to those relatives in her family.

All day long, Qin Jinlin accompanied Concubine Ning, and the mother and son always seemed to have endless topics, and after the sun set, Qin Jinlin slowly left under Concubine Ning's reluctant gaze.

Leaving the Moon Palace, Qin Jinlin stood at the gate and subconsciously glanced at the gate of the Star Picking Palace-

"Concubine Rong, your wisteria here is so beautiful."

"The second prince likes it? Then you will live here in the future and be a son of Hongu, okay? ”

"Not good, not good! The mother will be sad. ”

In her memory, Concubine Rong's appearance is still clear, and her childhood memories are also so clear.

Qin Jinlin stared at the Star Picking Hall, and after a long time, he slowly turned around and left.
