Huanhuan hugged Qinniang and cried for a long time. Qin Niang patted her back vigorously and comforted her seriously.

After crying for a long time, Huanhuan gradually couldn't cry. Qin Niang saw that her mood was stable, and hurriedly helped her up to eat. After eating, Huanhuan went to see Ling'er again. When I met Ling'er, I ran into Ling'er talking to a maid she had never seen before.

Qin Niang introduced to Huanhuan: "Miss, this is Mo Niang newly sent by the prince, she is as old as me, and the cooking is delicious, and the roasted fish moxibustion that Miss just ate is made by Mo Niang." ”

Huanhuan nodded at her, and Na Mo Niang saluted her, then smiled and stretched out her hand to gesture something.

Seeing this, Huanhuan glanced at Qin Niang, who understood and nodded. It turns out that this Mo Niang can't say live. Huanhuan stepped forward to help her up, and said to her with a smile: "Mo Niang's cooking is delicious, thank you for taking care of me." ”

When Mo Niang heard this, she looked at Qin Niang, looked at Huanhuan again, and smiled and stretched out her finger to Huanhuan's stomach.

Huanhuan smiled awkwardly: "Was Mo Niang called by Li Zerong to serve me and the baby in my womb?" ”

Mo Niang nodded hurriedly, Qin Niang looked at Huanhuan distressedly on the side, thinking that Huanhuan would deny it, but heard her say.

"That's going to be hard work, I eat a lot."

Mo Niang smiled even more when she heard this, nodded again and again, and then shook her head again and again. Mo Niang looks very happy, with a matchmaker mole hanging on the corner of her mouth, a pair of small fleshy eyes, plus a small garlic nose and a bright smile, which gives her a kind of magic, which can make people feel kind and loved at a glance.

After chatting casually with Ling'er, Huanhuan took out the purse containing candied fruit in his arms and fed one to Ling'er. Yue Sheng said: "The candied fruit that Qin Niang bought this time is excellent, I promise that you will never forget its taste once you taste it." ”

Ling'er bent her eyes and tasted it seriously, then gave an exaggerated thumbs up, and said happily: "This candied fruit is really delicious, it is almost the same as the candied fruit sent back by the son." ”

After being reminded by Ling'er, Huan Huanfang remembered where the familiarity of this candied fruit was for her. A long time ago, Brother Huanhuan sent his first letter with a large packet of candied fruit, and the taste of the candied fruit was as wonderful as the candied fruit eaten today.

"Qin Niang bought the right place, can you buy some for me tomorrow?" Huanhuan smiled and turned his head to Qin Niang.

Qin Niang did not respond in a hurry as before, her eyes were slightly dodgy, and her expression was entangled. Seeing that Huanhuan had been staring at her, waiting for her to answer. She replied hesitantly: "Miss doesn't know, this candied fruit was given by the prince, and Qin Niang doesn't know where to buy it." ”

Li Zerong gave it to her? Huanhuan looked down at the purse containing the candied fruit, and suddenly became angry in his heart, and directly threw the purse to the ground. Without saying goodbye to Ling'er, Qin Niang and Mo Niang, he hurried back to the house.

Qin Niang stood there stupidly, Ling'er frowned, looked at the purse on the ground, and suddenly felt that the candied fruit lying on the tip of her tongue was sweeter.

Mo Niang didn't know why, thinking that Huanhuan was losing her temper during pregnancy, and she was angry when she saw that she couldn't buy candied fruit. Hurriedly picked up the purse on the ground, patted it clean with his hand, handed it to Qin Niang, and gestured with his fingers.

Qin Niang knew what she meant, but she couldn't help but sigh again and again, took the purse, and carefully put it in her sleeve.

Huanhuan sat back on the bed, one hand touching his lower abdomen, and the other hand reaching under the pillow to hold the dagger. His eyes were staring at the thin quilt, in a daze.

"Miss?"

Qin Niang screamed tentatively outside.

Huanhuan just stared at the door, looking at the figure outside the door, not wanting to make a sound. Qin Niang stood outside the door for a long time, Huanhuan watched her raise her hand and knock on the door several times, but she couldn't make up her mind, and every time she raised it high and slowly put it down.

"Qin Niang, what's wrong?"

Huanhuan couldn't help but ask, seeing Qin Niang's hesitant appearance outside the door, he knew that she had something to say to herself.

"Did Miss sleep?" Qin Niang stood outside the door, her tone was full of joy, Xu was surprised that Huanhuan was willing to pay attention to her, and then asked, "Qin Niang has something to say to Miss, is it okay?" ”

Huanhuan sighed, secretly regretting in his heart, he left in a hurry after dropping his purse just now, maybe he hurt Qin Niang's heart, but what was wrong with Qin Niang?

"Qin Niang, come in, I'm not asleep."

Qin Niang gently pushed the door, but found that she couldn't push it open, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, the door is up." ”

Huanhuan had to put on his coat and get out of bed to open the door for Qin Niang. Qin Niang entered the house, grabbed Huanhuan's arm tightly with both hands, looked at Huanhuan with teary eyes, and her lower lip squirmed a few times. It was like a little wind that could dust the tears from her eyes.

"What's wrong with Qin Niang today?" Huanhuan took her to sit down against the table and poured her a cup of tea, but found that the tea was cold, so she had to smile awkwardly at Qin Niang, and said softly, "Qin Niang, I'll give you hot tea, okay?" ”

Qin Niang grabbed Huanhuan's hand, shook her head lovingly, and said softly, "Miss doesn't need to." Is there still Mademoiselle's grape wine? When Qin Niang is as old as you, she loves to secretly drink the master's grape wine in the palace. ”

Seeing that Qin Niang wanted to drink grape wine, Huan Huan smiled and quipped: "It turns out that Qin Niang is the grapes of Ji Nu'er." ”

As he spoke, he took out the remaining jar of grape wine from the cabinet, and when he saw the jar of grape wine, Huanhuan remembered the appearance of Qin Niang's desperate delivery of the package, and couldn't help but show sadness in his eyes.

Pouring grapes, Qin Niang thanked Huanhuan for his first gratitude.

"What does Qin Niang want to say to me?"

"Miss, Qin Niang is leaving. Yesterday afternoon, I received a letter from my mother's brother, who told me that my mother was still alive and missed me. ”

Hearing that Qin Niang was leaving, the corners of Huanhuan's eyes were sour, but she was still happy for Qin Niang, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Qin Niang also has a brother, it's so good." Qin Niang, go back quickly, and meet your mother and brother. ”

When talking about his mother and brother, Huanhuan felt a throbbing pain in his heart. It would be nice if she could see her mother and brother like Qin Niang. But on the surface, he still pretended to be relaxed, and looked sadly at the gray hair on the top of Qin Niang's head with his good-looking peach blossom eyes.

"Does Li Zerong know?" Huanhuan held Qin Niang's hand and held it tightly, for fear that a person in front of him would leave her if he was not careful. added, "I'm afraid that my words in this palace don't count." ”

"The prince is self-promised. Does the young lady know my relationship with the prince? ”

Huanhuan saw Qin Niang tilting her head, with a childish tone, and deliberately asked. I only felt that Qin Niang was cute, and hurriedly responded and asked, "Oh? Qin Niang still has a relationship with the prince? ”

"Mademoiselle, I have forgotten what I said to you when I came into the house. Hahaha, that was a long time ago, I was in the palace at your age, no, I should have entered the palace a few years later, as a maid in the harem, and served the concubines in the harem. Qin Niang's eyes were no longer on Huanhuan, but at the bookcase on the slanted square, and she recounted the past with vigour, "I only have one wish to enter the palace, hoping to meet a young harem master with a soft temper." ”

"Then Qin Niang has met?"

Qin Niang lowered her eyes and smiled, her eyes were shining, and she continued to speak: "The little master I met is the best concubine in the world. She is brighter and more moving than the early morning sun, and more breathtaking than the fairy of the nine heavens. She likes to wear red clothes and clothes, but how can the harem let her mess around. I remember the first year she entered the palace, she was depressed all day long, and she didn't say a word. During that year, I felt that I was the most unlucky harem maid. I know that she is the princess sent by the Liangguo of the Western Regions, and every time I see her, I call her a mother, but she never returns to me at that time. ”

When Huanhuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that this lady is a sad character. ”

"Definitely. About a year later, His Majesty forcibly pampered her, and then she became pregnant. His Majesty likes her appearance, and she has an imperial heir, and she is constantly favored. But she was still not happy, perhaps because I greeted her with a smile every day when I saw her, she always liked to take me to the tall building in the evening to watch the sunset, and went every day. She began to speak to me, and she spoke very poorly, always a few words that were put together at random. But every time I understood what she meant, she liked to be close to me even more. ”

"And then?" Seeing her pause, Huanhuan hurriedly urged.

Seeing that she heard the taste, Qin Niang smiled proudly, raised a glass of grape wine and took a sip directly, and continued: "She is too naïve, you must know that no one can be trusted in the harem, but she will tell me everything." She said that she didn't like it here, she liked to ride a horse to catch sheep in the grassland, and she liked to drink grapes from the Western Regions. The Western Regions Liangguo will pay tribute to the key country every year, and there are cans of grapes in the tribute, and His Majesty will send all the grapes from the Liangguo of the Western Regions to Niangniang every year, just asking Niangniang to look at him with a smile. But the mother never laughs, she rarely laughs. The grape wine of the Liangguo Kingdom in the Western Regions is the best grape wine in the world, and the grape wine in the capital city is not as good as it. It didn't take long for Niangniang to give birth to the emperor's heir, and she took the word style for him, hoping that he could be free and free from anything for a lifetime. ”

Huanhuan reacted immediately when he heard the wind word, and said in a dumb voice: "It's the third prince." ”

Qin Niang nodded, ignoring Huanhuan's reaction, and said to herself: "Xu is because Niangniang is missed by His Majesty, he is very fond of the third prince, and the eldest prince and the second prince are far ahead. Even so, Niangniang still couldn't accept him. He never asked about the three princes, and he didn't pity him at all. When the third prince was more than a year old, His Majesty came to Niangniang's palace drunk, and wanted to force Niangniang Yanhao. The mother had already prepared and hid a dagger under the pillow. She didn't dare to stab the emperor, and when His Majesty took a step closer, she stabbed herself in the shoulder once. By the end, the bones of the shoulders were pierced with several holes, and there was blood all over the shoulders. Seeing her resolute attitude, His Majesty left indignantly, not wanting to spoil Ah Rong, who served Niangniang with me. Ah Rong is the biological mother of the prince, a poor person with a thin life. She doesn't stand out in the house, she is very responsible, I only remember that her eyes are extremely beautiful, a pair of fox eyes that charm all beings. Two days after Ah Rong gave birth to the prince, she died of a fierce illness. When she died, only me and Niangniang stayed by her side, and she had only one obsession before she died, hoping that Her Majesty would come to see her. ”

Huanhuan couldn't help but sigh: "This lady and Ah Rong are both poor people. Has Your Majesty come to see her? ”

Qin Niang shook her head and said with a sad expression: "Knowing Ah Rong's wish, Niangniang hurriedly ran to see Your Majesty." But he didn't want to, His Majesty pressed Niangniang's shoulder that had been pierced by a dagger and had not yet healed. said contemptuously: You hurt her. Although Niangniang doesn't know much about the Central Plains, she knows the meaning of this sentence. I remember that on the way back from seeing His Majesty, she actually began to sob, and I have never seen my mother cry. I kept speaking the Western Regions dialect in my mouth, I couldn't understand it, but when I heard the tone, I knew that Niangniang was blaming herself and was very painful. By the time we returned, Rong was gone. Since then, the six princes have been raised by their mothers. Xu is out of guilt, Niangniang is very good to the six princes, more attentive than anyone else, during that time, Niangniang often had a smile on her face. It was also from that time that Niangniang threw away the dagger hidden under her pillow and was willing to serve His Majesty. never thought that it was because of His Majesty's favor that he killed his mother. ”

Huanhuan gasped, she felt Qin Niang's body chill, and the hand she was holding trembled slightly. Hurriedly reached out and patted her on the back, comforting: "If Qin Niang feels pain, she won't talk about it, and the slave can not listen." ”

Qin Niang shook her head, sighed lightly, and continued: "After a long time, I realized that it was Niangniang's conspiracy. Niangniang has long wanted to end the world, but her special identity, she can't commit suicide, she can't run away. If you want to be liberated, you can only rely on others. She was poisoned to death, and the doctor said that Niangniang had been poisoned and could not be cured. His Majesty was very sad and stayed by his mother's side every day. What I didn't expect was that His Majesty would speak Western Regions, but he didn't speak very fluently. In the last few days, Niangniang was delirious, and she kept calling a Western Regions dialect in her mouth. I don't understand, but I think Your Majesty does. Because every time Niangniang said that, His Majesty would take her hand and nod and repeat the Western Regions dialect. ”

"What does that Western Regions dialect mean?"

"I am the eagle of the prairie freedom." Qin Niang stood up suddenly, pushed open the window, and the sky outside was still remnant of the afterglow, and the sun was setting in the west. "In the past, I only knew that Niangniang's name in the Western Regions was Bourgud, but I didn't know that she was called Eagle. She wanted to return to the grassland until she died and be a free eagle. ”
