In the palace, the emperor stood in front of the window, rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the sky outside, raised his feet and walked outside, the unprocessed folds on the bookcase would not be in the mood to take care of them, with his hands behind his back, and slowly walked along the palace road with his hands behind his back.

When the emperor travels, the guard of honor is always sufficient, first of all, a eunuch holding a Huangluo umbrella, and then the climate is a series of people, holding dust, gold stoves, incense boxes, bathtubs, large and small gold bottles, etc., like a big tail behind the emperor.

The emperor didn't think it at first, but then he turned around and looked at it, and suddenly became a little impatient.

Cui Hai, who was half a step behind, has served this emperor for decades, and he knows what the emperor wants to do with just one look.

He stopped and waved his hand behind him, but in a moment, the dozen or so people behind him faded silently like a tide.

It's just early spring, and the oncoming wind is still a little chilly, but after all, unlike the harsh winter, the wind seems to have a bit of tactfulness.

The trees on the side of the road are dotted with tiny buds, which are about to bloom but not open, showing a bit of momentum on the branches.

The emperor stood on the covered bridge between the water pavilion and the shore pool, and suddenly felt unspeakably lonely and lonely.

In the pond below, the foot-long koi carp leisurely walked back and forth, and the colorful colors appeared and disappeared in the lake, and the emperor's heart, which had always been cold and hard, suddenly became a little envious when he saw this.

Sometimes people are not as comfortable as this fish.

There is a dark fragrance coming, the emperor looked up, there are a few tall and straight, majestic magnolia on the side, there is no green leaf on the top, only huge, the white flowers are fragrant and fragrant, like the fragrance of summer lotus flowers is far away and long, and it feels refreshing from so far away.

The emperor looked at the sky in the distance, raised his feet and walked towards the magnolia book, and asked as he walked,

"Ask how King An's mansion is being built, and where is King An now? The last lantern viewing party left without a sound, and he disappeared, I, or is it not his father? ”

"It's just a couple of words about him, where is there such a big temperament to be a son?"

Cui Hai hurriedly glanced at the apprentice who followed behind him, and the apprentice hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

The emperor stood under the magnolia tree for a while, and was just about to raise his feet to leave, when a beautiful woman who got the news stood in the distance, standing in the pavilion, and when she saw the emperor, she did not approach, but just looked forward to it.

When the emperor saw this, he stepped forward, held Concubine Hui's hand, and said warmly, "Your body has just gotten up, and you came out without a cloak." ”

Concubine Hui wore a thin padded gown, bowed her head slightly, and greeted the emperor, with a layer of red clouds floating on her slightly sickly face.

The emperor followed Concubine Hui to the palace not far away, and just sat down, before he could speak, he saw two lines of tears slipping down from Concubine Hui's beautiful cheeks.

"What's going on? If you have anything to say, don't be angry in your heart, the doctor said that your illness has just improved, you are just too heavy-minded, you put everything in your heart and think too much, no matter how good your body is, you can't help it from being ruined like this. ”

Concubine Hui hurriedly wiped her tears, blessed the emperor, and said in a low voice,

"The concubine is fine, but the wind in this spring day is too lingering, and I thought of Anping."

"San'er is too bold and reckless, that is self-inflicted and cannot live, and it also brings the face of the royal family, and your punishment is not too much."

"Just calm her down...... In the end, it's a girl, and now she is locked up in the Huangjue Temple, and she is about to pass the period of flower letters......"

Concubine Hui's tears fell again.

Although Concubine Hui is half old, she is still a good-looking face, which will be hung with tears, her eyebrows are tightly locked, her face is full of sadness, and the sadness and despair in her eyes inadvertently make people's hearts broken.

The emperor leaned on the couch, and when he heard the words, he suddenly laughed a little, and was more angry.

"At the beginning, you said that Wu'er was the same, so I released Xiao Wu, but Anping ......"

"Do you want to lock Xiao Wu back and let Anping out?"

The emperor paused and said nothing.

Concubine Hui's tearful eyes widened in astonishment, and she stayed on the spot and was speechless for a while.

When the emperor left the palace, Concubine Hui wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and the delicate posture on her face was put away, and she couldn't wait to smash all the things on the Duobao Pavilion.

But if you really do this, tomorrow this harem will be spread all over!

When the time comes, let Yu Guifei, that slut, see the joke.

"Biwan." Concubine Hui sat on the couch, twisted the handkerchief tightly, and opened her mouth to call people.

Bi Wan, who was standing outside the palace gate, heard the summons, and hurriedly walked in and checked it for Concubine Hui, "Niangniang." ”

Concubine Hui saw that there was no one in the hall, so she opened her mouth and cursed in a low voice, and her vicious words seemed to be mixed with ice ballast from the red lips word by word.

"This hypocrite actually put Xiao Wu and Anping out for me to choose ......"

Her voice was very soft, and only Bi Wan, who was standing in front of her, could hear it, Bi Wan just didn't hear it, and stood with her hands down, waiting for Concubine Hui's orders.

Concubine Hui gritted her teeth for a while before continuing,

"Xu Ge, that dog thing, haven't replied yet?"

Bi Wan shook her head, "Elder Xu Ge has always been cunning and cunning, and His Royal Highness is now ...... It's like that again, and he naturally wants to hug His Majesty's thigh. ”

"After all, no matter what His Majesty is doing now, he is still an elder."

"Dream his big dreams!" Concubine Hui hated so much that poison was about to appear in her eyes,

"In this world, it can only be my son's, I'm lucky, one child is gone, and there is another child, unlike the woman Yu Guifei, some are a wild seed."

She gritted her teeth, "These people are waiting for me, one day ......"

Seeing that Bi Wan was silent, Concubine Hui said slowly, "Do you think it's because I'm out of shape that the emperor can't look down on me, isn't it?" ”

Bi Wan's body lowered slightly, and she said that she didn't dare.

"Everyone in the world knows that he loves concubines to the point of almost being favored, why do he still promote us unfavored concubines from time to time."

Is it because he values affection? Hehe, whether a person cares about you or not, he can feel it, he followed me all the way, and when he saw me sick like this, there was half a point of pity in his eyes? ”

"He is in this harem, and he really only loves the concubine, but this love is not as pure as others think."

"Think about it, how many years has she been in the palace, and how old is Junping now......"

"This palace, where is there any love."

Under the same sky, Xiao Wei's heart was full of mixed flavors at this time.

He stood inside the window, and Xu Han stood outside the window.

Originally, they should have happily prepared for the marriage, which he had been planning for a long time to get.

It's just that now, although the marriage is also being prepared, there is less excitement in the end.

Xu Han came in generously from the entrance of the princess's mansion, carrying the red date cakes he bought when he entered the market, fried chestnuts, dried longan, orange cakes and other foods on the windowsill, and everything was complete in the south and north.

Similarly, Xu Han bought two copies, went to see the eldest princess of Shuyang and kept one, and sent the other one to Xiao Wei.

At this moment, she was lying on the windowsill, laughing while eating, peeling a chestnut and stuffing the chestnut meat into Xiao Wei's mouth through the hollow pane.

After swallowing the contents of her mouth, she said,

"At that time, when His Majesty made a decree to choose a relative for you, he said that if you mess with others and only give them to you, let me elope with you."

"He also said that even if our reputation is a little ugly, we can live our own lives, and we must find someone we like, otherwise we will have to survive this life."

The chestnut meat was stuck in Xiao Wei's throat, and he coughed lightly a few times before he relieved his breath, thinking that this future mother-in-law was really fierce enough.

But...... It's really to his liking.

He bit the flesh and looked at his sweetheart outside the window, and he was afraid for a while.

Fortunately, I persevered in this relationship, otherwise, I don't know who was cheaper.

There was a plate of orange cakes on the windowsill, the frosting on the orange cake was neither thick nor thin, it looked delicious, Xiao Xiao saw Xu Han's appearance, and immediately smiled on his forehead.

Obviously, she bought this thing to comfort herself, but it all went into her belly.

He turned around and walked into the room, took a paper cutter, cut the orange cake into small pieces, forked a piece and stretched it out, and when Xu Han came over to eat, he quickly put it in his mouth.

Xu Han watched the orange cake turn a corner halfway, and actually entered his belly, and suddenly he didn't follow, raised his hand and pinched a piece to stuff it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the person in the window leaned out, clasped the back of her head with one hand, and held her shoulder with the other, and then, a sweet, fragrant, crispy and sticky lip covered hers, turning her into sweet and sticky, and it has been sweet in her heart.

After a long kiss, Xiao Wei only felt that the whole person had become in a good mood, and sometimes he remembered his sweetheart on the other side, God had already loved him, and those unbearable pasts.

Those tangled and resentful things should be like those muddy waters in the ditch, and they should not let themselves linger on them anymore.

Xiao Wei felt warm in his heart, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, it is said that after the two made the holy decree of marriage, they could not meet at will at will.

But none of them complied with this inexplicable opportunity, and they often saw each other.

Xu Han's cheeks were crimson on the windowsill, seeing that it was not too late, he immediately put away the food box and wanted to leave, walked a few steps, turned around and looked at Xiao Wei, and finally waved away.

The people Xiao Xiao befriended before the death of the old concubine were quite decent, most of these people were the children of the noble family, and they knew the most about the personnel of the court.

In the past, he was so favored, and now he personally gave the marriage, a few days ago, I saw Xiao Wei only shrinking at home and not going out, and when Xiao Wei put everything down these days, the friends, personnel, fun, and intellectuals all gathered together to ask him to invite him to eat and drink.

The family affair was achieved after thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Wei put down the big stone in his heart, and he didn't know how happy he was, this would not say that please eat and drink, please eat anything.

For the kindness of the big guy, he didn't even say a word.

Among them, there must also be Jin Yuwei's brothers who followed him to the frontier and experienced life and death.

When the wine was hot, someone asked about the customs of the northern barbarians on the frontier.

Xiao Wei picked up a few things that could be said that everyone was afraid of the unknown, and these young noble children were disgusted and afraid of the Northern Barbarians.

Xiao Wei thought about it, and briefly described the battle in which Batai led people to attack Limen Pass at that time, and finally said,

"In fact, the Northern Barbarians are not very good, as long as my Eastern Yuan army and people are one, I don't have to worry about keeping the Northern Barbarians out."

Although Xiao Wei's words were concise, everyone present could imagine the agitation of the battle situation at that time, and the tragedy of the two armies when they intersected in short combat, and everyone listened to it with great affection.

The eldest princess of Liyang was imprisoned, Xu Xiuyan took over the case, carefully investigated the people who interacted with Liyang, and recorded them one by one, and presented them to the emperor for the next day.

On this day, he was going to visit an important witness, and he went to the Seven Star Tower, and stood in the beautifully carved room, and he listened to the enthusiasm of the next door.

The door was pushed open and a young girl walked in.

The girl walked up to him and looked at him for a long time before she said, "Don't you really regret it?" ”

"Regret what?" Xu Xiuyan said in a cold tone.

The girl Xu Yuelian did sneer when she heard this, "What do you say you want, you are here for her, does she know?" Appreciate it? She doesn't know anything, brother, you're going to put your life in it. ”

Xu Yuelian said this, and she couldn't help choking in her voice.

Xu Xiuyan got up and walked in front of Xu Yuelian, hesitated, raised his hand and touched her hair,

"Don't be sad, I'm fine, am I?"

Xu Yuelian put his hands away, cried and said, "What am I sad about, I'm not sad, I dislike you for being stupid." ”

"You do this, and no one else knows anything."

"Why?"

Xu Xiuyan's indifferent face finally cracked, sighed, held Xu Yuelian in his arms a little awkwardly, and said lightly,

"Lian'er, I missed it once, this time, I don't want to be wrong again, I will die when I die, if someone else dies, someone will be sad and sad for him."

When Xu Yuelian heard this, she was so angry that she slapped him hard,

"Xu Xiuyan, you idiot."

"Father is already very displeased with you, if you know that you are investigating him, do you know what will happen?"

Xu Yuelian quickly cleaned up her emotions, pushed Xu Xiuyan away, wiped her tears, looked at Xu Xiuyan calmly, and asked him.

Xu Xiuyan lowered his eyes,

"I know, why does the emperor trust me, doesn't he just want to use me? Coincidentally, I also want to know whether he has done anything about the Huo family. ”

Xu Yuelian sneered,

"Do you still need to check? If you think about it, didn't Uncle Huo Qi check it? Otherwise, how could the emperor rehabilitate the Huo family. “

"The eldest sister is his biological daughter, and she can say that she will be kicked out of the house, let alone a child like you and me."

Xu Xiuyan pursed his lips when he heard this,

"I'm sorry, because of me, your situation is even more difficult, I didn't expect that my father would want you to marry Uncle Huo Qi."

"Lian'er, Uncle Huo Qi is also a person you have always admired, if you really marry him, it will be a blessing."

"Didn't you like Eleven Niang so much back then? At that time, it was not bad to help Eleven Niang take care of Uncle Seven. ”

The corners of Xu Yuelian's mouth raised a sharp angle, and she said coldly,

"Hmph, I'm not a soft persimmon, I think I can pinch it as much as I want, let me tell you, if it was in the past, let me marry Uncle Huo Qi, I would have married, but now it's ......"

"I don't go with him."

"He really has the face to say that he destroyed the Huo family back then, and now he wants to send me over, so can Huo Qi treat me well?"

"I don't want it, if he forces me to be in a hurry, it's a big deal that the fish will die and the net will be broken."

"Lian'er, before I die, I will definitely settle you and my eldest sister well, and let you live the life you want."

The man who has always been silent and indifferent solemnly promised his sister.

Xu Yuelian replied to him with a roll of her eyes without appreciation,

"You take care of yourself, don't investigate the case, let yourself die early, although I don't want to rely on you, but in the end, I don't panic with you."

Xu Xiuyan rubbed Xu Yuelian's head again, causing Xu Yuelian to complain, not at all like a cold and lonely girl in front of outsiders.

……

After Xiao Wei accompanied everyone to drink twice, he got up and went to the beginning to settle the bill, and instructed that if the people inside still had any needs, they should write it down and go to the princess's mansion to settle the bill.

Walking on the granite road in the streets and alleys of the capital, the spring rain suddenly fell in the sky, and the long shop flags on the roadside swayed with the wind, and sometimes they were rolled up again.

Just walked to the corner of the street, a carriage came this way, and a man sat on the wheel of the carriage, saw Xiao Wei, and called loudly,

"Xiao Shizi...... I've got you......"

The person who came was extremely excited, staggered out of the car, and pounced on Xiao Wei, speaking incoherently,

"My lord, Your Majesty is waiting to see you in the palace. The little one went to the princess's mansion and pounced on it, and went to several restaurants, ouch, if I can't find you again, the little one will have to apologize for his crimes. ”

Xiao Wei saw the eunuch's excited appearance, his eyebrows and eyes were warm,

"Grandpa Gao, didn't you find me, let's go with you, it's too late, it's not far from here to Miyagi."

"I won't let my father-in-law be punished."

However, Xiao Wei still found a place to bathe first, and then followed Gonggong Gao into the palace to see the emperor.

I just drank wine in the restaurant, and I couldn't go to see the emperor like that, which was a big disrespectful crime.

The emperor seemed to be waiting for him, and when he saw him, he personally helped him up, just like every time they met before.

Xiao Wei has been confused these days, and he is really confused, after all, his grandfathers are dead, and now, his life experience has been broken, and the emperor has not made any moves.

Maybe this is the heart of the emperor? It's always unpredictable.

He was still so affectionate.

"Your wedding date has also been set, although it is controlled by the Ministry of Etiquette, but in the end, the king of Zhenbei has a heavy responsibility, after you marry her, don't let her nest in the inner house, I, but I still have to continue to reuse her."

When he said this, he had a soft smile on his face, like an impeccable elder.

Xiao Xiao lowered his head, "Back to Your Majesty, whatever the King of Zhenbei wants to do, the ministers are all supportive." ”

The Emperor nodded and said with relief, "That's good." ”

"By the way, you just came in outside, I heard that you went to drink, right, you must not have eaten anything, this is the walnut soup just sent by the imperial dining room, I remember that you like to eat, just right, you fill your stomach with a little."

Xiao Wei bent down and silently finished a bowl under the emperor's kind gaze.

He didn't eat any wine at the banquet just now, after all, he had just been poisoned, and his body had not recovered, and the reason why he changed his clothes was just because he was contaminated with alcohol.

He doesn't like to eat this walnut soup very much, but it's because Huo Shiniang loved to eat it in the past, and he fell in love with her because he missed her.

Today's walnut soup doesn't seem to taste at all, and some thoughts suddenly popped up in Xiao Wei's heart that he wanted to laugh.

In fact, this is the most terrifying, the blunt knife cuts the flesh, the sharp blade hangs above the head, and I don't know when it will fall.

When the bowl of walnut soup was used up, the emperor knocked on the table, and someone came in and put the dishes and chopsticks down, and the room became silent again.

"Your aunt was sick two days ago and was in a coma for several days, I didn't want to talk to you, so as not to worry, but now that your marriage is decided, her concern is over, you go and see her, just, don't talk too long."

Xiao Wei said in a low voice, "Your Majesty." ”

Then, he followed Cui Hai to Concubine Yu's palace.

Indeed, as the emperor said, Concubine Yu leaned on the bed with a pale face.

Xiao Wei's heart was sour, and he tried his best to hold back the moistness in the corners of his eyes, although the people in the hall went down, saying that they wanted the two to talk well, but Cui Hai was on the side.

Even if he had a thousand words, he couldn't say them.

In the past, Concubine Yu's health was still good, why did she be in a coma for several days this time?

Thinking of Concubine Yu's illness, the resentment in Xiao Wei's chest almost overflowed.

How could it be so coincidental that his life experience here had just been revealed, and Concubine Yu fell ill and fell into a coma over there?

He didn't believe it was an accident, and the timing was too good.

Xiao Wei stood by the door, looked at Concubine Yu, approached step by step, and when he arrived in front of Concubine Yu, he didn't say anything, just knelt down and rested his head on the edge of the bed.

Concubine Yu stretched out her hand tremblingly, patted Xiao Wei's shoulder, and choked up, "Aunt is fine......

Her emotions seemed to have a broken embankment, and she couldn't hold it back anymore and cried bitterly.

Cui Hai, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help but look up, looked at the two people, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Xiao Wei didn't look up, but Concubine Ren Yu stroked his head, "You know everything?" Concubine Yu asked softly.

Xiao Wei nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "I ......"

He glanced vaguely at where Cui Hai was.

Concubine Yu said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

In other words, Cui Hai is his own person.

A trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Wei's heart, and he continued, "Grandmother called the old town North King to come to the mansion......

Hearing this, Concubine Yu showed a look of burden,

"Unexpectedly, Prince Xu still remembers the events of the year, and there are promises, worthy of being a member of the Xu family."

"I thought it was going to be a secret forever."

"By the way, didn't the eldest sister take the drug in the palace back then, and her memory was erased?"

The eldest sister in her mouth is naturally the eldest princess of Shuyang.

When Xiao Xiao heard what she said, his heart was even more sour, he was suddenly glad that of course he didn't continue to get to the bottom of it, he thought that only his grandfather's death was caused by the events of the year, but he didn't expect that his grandmother's amnesia and madness were also caused by drugs.

They really worked hard for him.

Thankfully, thankfully, my grandmother is still there!

He moved his knees, raised his head, looked directly at Concubine Yu, and asked the question he wanted to know, and the eldest princess of Shuyang had also answered.

"You...... Did you enter the palace voluntarily? ”

Concubine Yu took his hand, let him get up, let him sit on the edge of the bed, pale face, squeezed out a smile,

"I don't want to lie to you, I didn't enter the palace voluntarily at the beginning, but in the end, over the years, you have enjoyed the glory and wealth, and you don't need to feel guilty about it."

Concubine Yu said it very easily, but Xiao Wei was about to cry.

He suddenly understood very well the attitude that Xu Han had in the face of the matter of and separation.

Of course, he hopes that the young mother can remarry, but it must be the person she really wants to marry, not forced to compromise for some reason.

Concubine Yu looked at Xiao Wei, reached out and touched the tear mole in the corner of his eye, her eyes were gentle and affectionate, he looked like her husband!

"No mother will fail to protect her child, so you don't have to blame yourself, Zheng'er, your life is precious, don't let hatred ruin reason, if you are not completely sure, do not take revenge."

When she said these words, Concubine Yu had no sadness on her face, only calmness and calmness.

She has been favored by the emperor for more than 20 years, not only because of her beauty, but more importantly, by her mind.

"Zheng'er, your grandfather and grandmother taught you so many skills, you must develop them, even if the capital is not good, the frontier is also good, only by holding your own destiny, whether it is life or death, whether it is ups and downs, can you choose by yourself."

Concubine Yu's voice became very gentle, "Zheng'er, take care of your grandmother." ”

Concubine Yu told some things carefully, and seeing the time passing, Cui Hai had to come out to remind her.

"Mother, it's almost time."

Concubine Yu seemed to have endless words, and patted Xiao Wei's hand, "You go, remember my words, don't be impulsive." ”

Xiao Wei nodded fiercely, turned to look at the door, and walked.

Concubine Yu kept smiling and watched him leave.

When he walked to the door, Xiao Wei suddenly turned around, looked at Yu Guifei in the distance, suddenly raised his feet, ran back quickly, threw himself on the side of the bed, hugged Yu Guifei, and whispered softly in her ear in a low voice, with a crying voice,

"Mother......

This is the first time he has called his mother, he has a mother!

It's not an aunt, it's a mother!
