The next afternoon.

Chang'an, in the Taiji Palace.

Inside the cold palace.

It's rare that the sun is just right today, and Limmu ordered someone to pull out the brocade that was rectified in the year before last and dry it well, and these little attendants who had just entered the palace and were divided into the cold palace all jumped and shouted with joy, and followed behind Limmu.

After all, it's just a bunch of teenage kids......

Ryan watched the children innocently follow behind Limme, who was already gray-haired and dyed with sideburns, and asked in a chattering voice if he had dried the brocade quilt today, if he could also take out some of the seeds of the cold melons that had been harvested in the damp weather a few days ago, and expose them to dryness together, so that he could use them to grind his teeth.

When Limmu heard this, he shook his head and sighed with a bitter smile:

"You gluttonous ...... How can the seeds of cold melon be eaten casually? I don't know if I can eat or not......"

"It's okay, it's okay to ...... Mom"

A little waiter who was young and not tall jumped a few times with a smile, but the black hat on his head almost fell off, and he hurriedly held it with his hand, and grinned and said:

"Xiao Fu'er ate it a few days ago, it's okay, it's okay!"

When Limmu heard this, he scolded for a while, but after all, he couldn't bear the cuteness of this child, so he nodded in agreement.

Immediately, a burst of laughter and applause rang out.

Such a lively and joyful scene made Ryan stunned, so he just stood in place, watching in a daze as those little servants rushed to the inner room to get cold melon seeds to dry.

Maybe it was because he smiled very gently, maybe it was because he was watching very attentively, in short, Ryan attracted the attention of that little Fu'er, and after a while, the child ran to himself, raised his little face, looked at this tall and thin brother, who was always looking at them indifferently these days, and then said softly:

"Brother, what's your name?"

Ryan was stunned, looked down at the little child interestingly, and then glanced into the distance, only to find that Nalimmu himself was also busy taking care of another group of children, most of them couldn't take care of him, so he smiled, squatted down, reached out and gently stroked the child's head, and said with a smile:

"Me? My name is ......"

A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally smiled faintly:

"My name is An Yi."

"An Yi?"

Xiao Fu'er blinked again, and said with envy in her eyes:

"My brother's name is so nice...... It's not like Little Fu'er......"

Ryan shook his head and said lightly:

"No matter how good it sounds, it's not just a name. What's more, the name of your little Fu'er shows that your parents sincerely put you in their hearts and regarded you as a Fu'er, isn't it better? ”

When Xiao Fu'er heard this, she was a little happy, and then frowned again:

"Really...... If Daddy and Auntie really take Xiao Fu'er so seriously...... But why don't you leave Fu'er by your side? ”

Ryan was stroking Xiao Fu'er's hand for a slight pause, and said lightly after a long time:

"yes...... Why? But maybe, Tai Ban still doesn't want you to be bad, right? After all, to them, you are the most important person in the world, but they ...... If you even have to go to Huangquan together, how can you keep you from having an accident?

Therefore, it is better to be disabled than to stay alive...... Just to keep you. ”

This muttering, Xiao Fu'er seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand, just blinked her big eyes, and said softly after a while:

"Brother, don't cry, is it okay for Xiaofu'er to play cat hunting with you?"

Ryan was stunned again:

"Crying? How did my brother cry? ”

"Didn't my brother cry? But Xiao Fu'er felt that her brother was crying......"

Xiao Fu'er looked at Ryan worriedly, but he was stunned and lost his mind for a while, and finally smiled and said:

"My brother didn't cry...... Thank you......"

For a while, there was only this one word.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Fu'er stretched out her little hand and patted Ryan's skinny face, and said softly:

"Brother doesn't cry...... Don't cry. You see, my brother's white jade whisk is so beautiful, Xiao Fu'er feels very envious! Mu Mu said, in this Taiji Palace, only the two elder brothers who have been blessed by the first queen can use white jade to whisk the dust! Is my brother the one who uses this whisk every day to sweep away the dust from His Majesty the Golden Dragon's body, so that he can happily fly up to the sky to find his favorite cloud pool to bathe? ”

Ryan was really stunned:

"Your Majesty the True Dragon? A golden body? Fly to the sky and bathe in the ...... Uh......"

He had heard that Limmu liked these children, and always made up some old things into pillow children's words and coaxed them to sleep.

Now it seems that he has also been made up into one of the children's languages......

He smiled, lowered his eyes, looked at the white jade whisk dust in his arms, his eyes were gentle, and he said lightly after a while:

"Well, yes...... The gift of the first queen's mother, my brother got it.

It's just that the gift that my brother received from the former queen mother is not only the unique white jade dust in this Taiji Palace...... There's more, much more. ”

Xiao Fu'er's eyes widened in surprise:

"Ah, it turns out that the first saint is so good? Ahh......h Xiao Fu'er also wants to meet her...... She's such a nice person! ”

"yes...... She's really a nice person, a big good person. But sometimes, my brother really hopes that she shouldn't be so good to her brother at the beginning, so that my brother will at least ......"

Ryan said this, but suddenly stopped, just shook his head and smiled:

"yes...... She's really nice......"

"Isn't my brother happy?"

Xiao Fu'er looked at Ryan who was so depressed, and couldn't help but say lightly:

"Isn't my brother happy? Isn't it a good thing that the first saint is good to her brother? ”

"No, the first saint Niangniang's kindness to her brother is really a good thing."

Ryan lowered his eyes and said lightly after a while:

"It's just that you're still young, you don't understand, there are some good things, some good intentions...... For those who are in it, it may not be as good and as desirable as outsiders see......

Sometimes, your kindness is just out of intolerance, or just out of responsibility, but it will make others feel that life is worse than death, and the pain is unspeakable. ”

Ryan sighed.

Xiao Fu'er blinked, but put her soft body into Ryan's arms, and snuggled even more, and then whispered:

"Brother doesn't like the first saint to treat you so well? But Xiao Fu'er saw that his brother cherished this white jade whisk very much! Look at it's all polished so bright! Xiao Fu'er listened to Mumu every day, saying that if you want to do a good job, you must be happy in your heart. If you want to wipe something clean, then you must love and cherish it.

Everything is spiritual, if people don't like it, then it will be sad, no matter how much you rub it, it won't shine. ”

Ryan was stunned and wanted to refute, but found that he couldn't say anything:

Yes...... Do you really not like it?

If you don't like this unique pair of white jade whisks, why is it the same as my brother, who always wipes and wipes and wipes and wipes and wipes and wipes every day?

And why has it never been ...... over the years?

For some reason, his eyebrows, which had become depressed over the years, suddenly brightened. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a hint of relief to the smile.

Xiaofu's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and smiled:

"It's just as good-looking! It's just as good-looking! ”

Ryan was stunned, but looked at him and smiled:

"What's as good-looking?"

"Brother! My brother came here a few days ago to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Xiaofu'er, who is generally good-looking! ”

Ryan was stunned again, frowning slightly:

"What do you say? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... Been here? ”

"Hmmm! I've been there! When my brother laughs, he really looks as good as His Royal Highness the Prince! It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't laugh......"

Xiao Fu'er's later words, Ryan couldn't listen to it anymore, just stunned in a daze, for a long time, he suddenly got up, his eyes burning.

Prince...... Your Highness!

A moment later.

Tai Chi Palace.

In the Imperial Palace.

was rolling a new volume of poems in one hand, watching the palace attendants packing up their things back and forth, preparing to leave the palace before Mei Niang, seeing Ryan sweeping away the previous depression, he walked in in high spirits, saluted first, and then said lightly:

"Mother's ......"

"It's better to call Sister Wu! Over the years, I still listen to this name, and I can hear it. ”

Mei Niang said a word, but Ruian's eyes were instantly hot, and it took a while to barely restrain her emotions, and she responded softly:

"Niangniang is right, but now, in the end, Niangniang is also Niangniang, and she can't be like this anymore ......"

"There is no one else at the moment, so I should call my sister, so it's better to call my sister."

Mei Niang replied without raising her head.

Ryan's eyes moistened again, and after a while, he nodded:

"Wu ...... Sister ......"

As soon as this long-standing title came out, Ryan's eyes were slightly wet again, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"I haven't called my sister like this in these years, but I'm rusty...... Sister Wu, General Fang Ruian was in the cold palace and heard a message. ”

"What's the news?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I entered the cold palace a few days ago."

Mei Niang raised her head suddenly, looked at Ryan for a moment, and then said softly:

"Is it for the day the queen saw off?"

"Not really. but later ......"

Ryan said:

"Later, the queen has been removed from the cold palace."

Mei Niang's eyes widened slightly, put down the scrolls and poetry books in her hands, and said lightly after a while:

"Did you ask for what?"

"I asked, but I said that there was something important that fell at the queen's place, but I wanted to ask the queen to come back."

Mei Niang was silent, and Ryan continued:

"One more thing...... Long before the queen left, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took his close attendant early and prepared a silver crown of filial piety...... said that he was going to worship his biological mother Liu.

But sister, you also know that over the years, the queen has never allowed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go down to worship his biological mother.

Even the tomb of the Liu family, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not know where it is. ”

Mei Niang tilted her head slightly, her eyes wavering:

"But in the side hall of the main hall of Tali, didn't a secret room be specially built to worship the spiritual seat of the Liu family? Maybe ......"

"Sister, you said, that is the spiritual position, but it is not the place where he is buried. According to the system and etiquette, the current Royal Highness of the Crown Prince is already the son of the queen's middle palace. He wants to worship his biological mother with filial piety, and unless he goes to the place where he is buried, he is not allowed to wear filial piety clothes.

But now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even wears a silver crown...... Sister, don't you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too rude?

After all, it is the Wang family, who is his current mother, who died as the queen, and he can only wear plain filial piety clothes, plain gold crowns, and white hostas wrapped in plain linen to show filial piety!

Silver Crown......

That's only as the father of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our lord ......"

Ryan really couldn't say that word, just shook his head and sighed:

"Sister, don't you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has hidden some resentment against the Lord now?"

Mei Niang was silent, and said lightly after a long time:

"I don't know about this matter, but let's see how Jiro deals with it in the future!"

As soon as Mei Niang said this, Ryan couldn't say anything anymore, so she could only shake her head and sigh:

My sister said so, and Ryan could only watch for my sister.

It's just my sister, Ryan still thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unpredictable, and there are many secrets in his palace...... My sister is better to watch this child more for the Lord. ”

After finishing speaking, he retired to Mei Niang.

Mei Niang nodded, watched him leave, and then sighed softly, and a whisper escaped from her lips:

“…… What about you? Ryan...... You...... But what is the thought, what is the matter...... Hide it from me and Jiro......"

Before she could finish her words, she saw Murong Yan turn around and walk out from behind the hall, looking at her with a solemn expression:

"Do you want to continue?"

"Hmm."

"Is it looking at him? Or do you want to protect him? ”

“…… Protect him. ”

Mei Niang was silent for a long time, and finally spit out a firm word:

"In any case, if something happens to the two brothers, the first one who will be unforgivable will be Jiro. So please Miss Murong must keep the two brothers. ”

Murong Yan looked at her and said lightly after a while:

"Li Zhi has you, which is his great blessing."

Then, without waiting for Mei Niang to frown and refute, she didn't care if it was a big crime against the sky to call her name, but she just turned around and left.
