In March, the warbler flies and the grass grows in spring.

It coincides with the Shangsi Festival. The rivers and canals inside and outside the capital are full of brightly dressed girls.

They walked along the water, smiling brightly, causing the young men to be distracted from time to time, and looking back to the crisp laughter.

From time to time, the teenagers peeked at the girl who was like a delicate flower on the other side, and the ladies here also secretly looked over there with the fan in their hands.

Most of the boys and girls who came here today are young men and girls from big families, and they all know each other well.

However, in the hearts of the girls, even if they are all big families, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Judging a teenager is not only indispensable for family background, appearance, demeanor, talent, etc.

The girls looked around and whispered together,

"It seems that they are still the second prince, and the third prince is more outstanding, but unfortunately they didn't come today."

"Why don't you say that the emperor is more outstanding, the young man ascended the throne, and now the throne is empty, I heard that there is not even a concubine to sleep."

"Tsk, I don't want to, the emperor, but it's a pity that the second prince and the third prince are still too young, and when they grow up, I will become an old girl......"

The girls were giggling and discussing, on a day like today, there are no taboos, and they are not afraid of offending the royal family.

"Female junior, hugging gold bricks......"

"If you want me to say, the second prince is outstanding, it's too ridiculous, as long as you go out, you must take a car, and it's okay to take a car.

There was a rocking chair on it, and the second prince sat in the car shaking his head, holding a purple clay pot in his hand......

That's ridiculous......"

"You can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour......

The girls' eyes were like water, and a new round of glances at the teenagers began, and laughter came from time to time.

In an attic not far away, in front of the window stood a young man of about twenty years old, very handsome, with two sword eyebrows raised upward, if he smiled affectionately, those peach blossom eyes must be bright color, so that everyone is fascinated.

This man is very reminiscent of Xiao Yue, the king of Jin when he was young, and His Majesty the emperor who later left the east.

Although the man did not have the coldness that His Majesty the Emperor had peculiar, there was not the slightest warmth on his face.

The whole person faintly exudes a domineering spirit that reigns over the world and is like no one else.

He looked at the curved water in the distance, turned around, squinted his eyes, and said lazily in his mouth,

"Have you figured it out?"

In front of him sat two teenagers several years younger than him, one of whom was the older one who sat on his side, one foot bent on the chair, his shoulder bent and leaning on the back of the chair as if he had no bones, and the other foot hung on the chair and swayed.

Another young man, although he sat very well and looked very similar to Xiao Yue, but those eyes were like Gu Nian, and a pair of black eyes looked at this and that excitedly.

"What do we think? This Jiangshan father and uncle give you the eldest brother and you alone, but it has nothing to do with us. Isn't it, third brother? ”

The boneless young man was Xiao Yun, the second son of Gu Nian and Xiao Yue, and he solemnly corrected.

The third brother in his mouth is Xiao Xuan, who is two years younger than him.

As for the eldest brother, it is naturally the current emperor Xiao Xi, the one whose nickname is Xu'er.

A few years ago, Xiao Xi, who was only fifteen years old, ascended the throne as emperor, and the young emperor, at the beginning of his reign, showed outstanding talent as the son of heaven.

He made good use of the good men of Zhengchen, cared for the people of the world, and continued to smooth the border.

He is vast and virtuous, but his iron fist is not inferior to the two emperors above, and even more forbearant and deep than them.

Now in just a few years, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all convinced and even frightened by this young emperor who ascended the throne as a young man.

This emperor has always been deep and unpredictable about people, but when he treats his family, his handsome face, which is usually easy and unrelenting in front of people, is full of relaxation, and his voice is also lazy.

He glanced at Xiao Yun,

"Who taught you that? My grandfather, my grandmother and uncle were not in the capital, and even my uncle and aunt have now gone to Jiangnan.

Even if they were, they wouldn't say anything like that.

Who told you that? ”

Xiao Xi narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Xiao Yun smiled and pushed Xiao Xuan,

"No matter who taught it, the rules can't be messed up, this is what my mother said when she left, eldest brother, don't throw things at me, you still let me lie down more......"

Xiao Xuan touched the melon seeds and knocked them on his hand, and said while knocking,

"I'm so young, I don't want to take any errands. If it weren't for my father, when my mother went out of Beijing to visit a miracle doctor, she would have brought me with her. ”

He pursed his lips,

"My father was the most treacherous...... I just want to dominate my mother's ......"

Xiao Yun shook his foot and kicked his footstool, "Is there a better miracle doctor in this world than Zhang Chunzi?" Mother's body has been refusing to get better, but she just wants to go out of the palace to play. ”

"Big brother, you have come through so many hardships all these years, and you still need us, when you get married, your mother will definitely come back."

Xiao Xuan nodded on the side, "My mother said that it is best for a man to get married after twenty, big brother, you are about to turn twenty." ”

Xiao Xi let out a long breath, and then turned to look at the little ladies by the canal in the distance.

Other people's families are like black-eyed chickens who are fighting for the throne by the princes, but the two younger brothers below him, one is lazier than the other, and let them help, as if they wanted their lives.

Time flies so fast, he was only fifteen years old when he ascended the throne, and now he has passed the crown ceremony.

Soon, he will be able to see his parents.

Although he has often received letters from his mother in recent years, no matter how beautiful the language is, it is more pleasant to be without a real person around.

Thousands of miles away, the scenery is just as pleasant, this year, Xiao Yue is also about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and has been successfully upgraded to a middle-aged beautiful uncle, compared with that year, his charm has not decreased but increased.

Gu Nian is the same, at the age of thirty, she looks like a twenty-seven or eighteen young woman, with a beautiful face, and between her gestures, she is full of brilliance.

For so many years, the husband and wife have a heart-to-heart relationship, starting a few years ago, first playing in the territory of Dongli Dynasty, and later going to Nanyan, Huaguo, and even went to run on the prairie of Beiban.

It wasn't until the year before last that Gu Nian was taken out of the happy vein, and they settled down in Guangyang Mansion.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yue was dancing with a sword in the courtyard, and there was a voice calling for 'Daddy', and then a small figure appeared at the door, with little short legs crossing the threshold and running towards her.

Xiao Yue threw the sword in his hand to the dark one who was standing on the side, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly greeted him and hugged the villain.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Nian also came out of the house and patted her daughter's little buttocks,

"As soon as I open my eyes, I don't see you and I'm going to get up, I was probably your little lover in my previous life!"

She had heard that her daughter was her father's little lover in her previous life.

What's more, this is the daughter that Xiao Yue has been looking forward to for a long time, and she is like a jewel in the palm of her hand, and even her name is Bao'er.

Bao'er was born small, but round and jade, black and shiny, long and dense, especially love to laugh, even when she falls asleep, she often giggles twice.

Xiao Yue simply regarded her as a treasure, holding her in his hand and not letting go, and taking her for more time than Gu Nian.

When he was young, it was common to feed and pee on the, and sometimes even if his daughter's urine was sprinkled on him, he didn't care.

It is said that the urine of a baby is like the urine of a puppy, not to mention that it is my own daughter, and I dry my clothes by myself when I get wet.

Now Bao'er is also two years old, milky white skin, round eyes, Yuxue cute, outstretched little fat hands, and there are a few small sagging meat vortices on the back of the hands.

She had just cleaned her face with a handkerchief, and the hair on her forehead was a little wet and sticky to the door of her head.

Xiao Yue teased her, and then went to the house and wiped it with a dry handkerchief, and Bao'er obediently asked her father to help her wipe her hair, which was completely different from the pig-like appearance when she was going to help her wash her face just now.

Gu Nian watched the interaction between the father and daughter on the side, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "This forehead hair grows fast, and I will let the grandmother who can cut her hair outside come to the door to cut it." ”

Xiao Yue kissed his daughter's apple face, "Bao'er, can Daddy help you cut it?" ”

At the same time, he also raised his hand to ensure that he would cut no worse than the mother who was on her shoulders outside.

Bao'er likes her father the most, so she is naturally willing, so she immediately climbed to the small stool in front of Gu Nian's dresser and waited for Xiao Yue to help her cut her hair.

Seeing this, Gu Nian whispered, "You have never cut it, will you cut it?" Be careful to cut it badly, my daughter is crying, see how you coax. ”

And Xiao Yue didn't blush, and his heart didn't skip a beat, "Don't worry, I think I killed so many people at the beginning, the knife edges were all neat, and cutting hair was just a trivial matter." ”

Gu Nian took a sip, "Hu Qin, is cutting your hair the same as those things?" She put her hands around her chest and said with a smile,

"Don't blame me for not reminding you then."

After speaking, he went outside and instructed his subordinates to pack their luggage, seeing that Xu'er was almost twenty years old, and he hadn't seen the children for several years.

Take advantage of today's good light to go back to Beijing to live for a while.

Xiao Yue took the scissors and reassured her with a face.

Bao'er sat obediently on the stool, her eyes closed, motionless, waiting for her father to help her cut her hair.

As soon as Xiao Yue cut it, the hair on his forehead was a little crooked, Bao'er took a look in front of the bronze mirror and asked Xiao Yue to repair it again.

So, the more it was repaired, the shorter it became, the shorter it was, and finally it was neat on both sides, but the original black and thick forehead hair was now like a leek that had been harvested, and only a short stubble remained.

Bao'er looked at herself in the bronze mirror, tears gradually accumulated in her eyes, and finally fell silently, her mouth was as flat as a duck's beak.

Xiao Yue's face, which had always been indifferent, showed a little embarrassment, and he glanced at the empty inner room, originally thought that cutting his hair was just a very simple matter, but he didn't expect it to be cut like this.

His daughter was very aggrieved, and he was annoyed that he couldn't shed his tears.

Gu Nian ordered the astragalus outside, and after a dark one, he walked in, saw that the atmosphere inside was abnormal, and when he saw Bao'er's forehead again, he couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.

Bao'er couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell like pearls, and her flat mouth finally let out a 'wow' and cried.

Xiao Yue threw away the scissors in his hand, hurriedly hugged his daughter and coaxed her, who knows, the more coaxed, the more sad Bao'er became, and the louder she cried.

He coaxed left and right, but he didn't see his daughter stop crying, and suddenly looked at Gu Nian, who was watching the play on the side, like a help.

Seeing that Gu Nian had no conscience, he couldn't stop snickering on the side.

In the end, as a last resort, Xiao Yue remembered that she was going to leave for the capital tomorrow, and then her daughter would be able to meet her three elder brothers, so she used this to coax her.

Sure enough, Bao'er stopped crying and looked at her father with sobbing eyes, like a rabbit with two eyes.

But after a while, Boa began to cry again.

"Little Ancestor, why are you crying again?" Xiao Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Bao'er cried and hugged Xiao Yue's arm, "Daddy cut Bao'er's hair so ugly, what should the three brothers do if they don't like Bao'er?" ”

"No, we have to walk for two months on the way, and when we arrive in the capital, Bao'er's hair has already grown, and my brothers have never seen Bao'er, and when they see Bao'er, they will only love."

Gu Nian couldn't continue to snicker on the side, laughing and comforting Bao'er.

Bao'er burst into tears and began to look forward to the day when she would meet her brothers.

In the evening, Xiao Yue went to say goodbye to some people in Guangyang Mansion and came back in the second half of the night.

Gu Nian was sleeping sweetly with Bao'er, and suddenly felt a movement in his arms, and dimly saw the man picking up Bao'er and sending it to the nurse outside the door, and then went to the clean room, and when he came out again, he had a faint smell of wine and the fragrance of juniper soap.

His sturdy body, like Bao'er, burrowed into Gu Nian's arms.

Gu Nian didn't open his eyes, he had just finished bathing, and there was still moisture on his body, and the March day was a little cool, and when he got into her arms, she shrank a little.

Xiao Yue naturally noticed her changes and knew that she was awake, so he immediately unceremoniously pressed her under him, ready to do a big job.

Gu Nian was so sleepy by him that he shrank back and pushed him, "What you went to drink was just a parting wine, how can it be like drinking deer blood, in the middle of the night, what is the trouble." ”

Xiao Yue didn't want to talk to her at this time, he just wanted to roll the sheets with her a few times, so he pressed her and kissed her cheek, and his hand didn't stop.

Gu Nian's cheeks were itchy by his drooping hair, so he pushed his chest,

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, don't forget that you haven't told Xu'er and them about Bao'er until now."

"I don't know why you are hiding it from them, they know about Bao'er's birth, and they don't know how happy they will be."

Xiao Yue pressed her body and reached out to remove her skirt, "It's not good for me to arrange this?" Otherwise, if your father-in-law knows that you are pregnant, and does not chase you back to Beijing, do you think you can still be so free? ”

"I'm hiding it for you."

Gu Nian was made a little crying and laughing by his scoundrel, "Then thank you for the emperor's mercy......"

Xiao Yue turned over, lay on the bed, and let her sit on his body, with a wolf-like light in the eyes of the two phoenixes.

"If the mother is grateful to the little one, there is nothing to repay, why don't you wait with your body?"

Gu Nian was pulled by him, forced to lower his head, and lay on top of him, knowing that he had nothing good in his head.

and waiting......

However, she also knew that indeed, if Kyori's father and children knew, they would definitely urge them to go back.

In the end, she was handed over to Ren Jun at that time.

The bed swayed, and the man's breath and the woman's delicate mouth merged......

After getting on the road, everything went smoothly, and after two months of driving on the road, they finally arrived in the capital, and before dark, the carriage of the three entered the palace in a low-key manner.

Xu Er and her two younger brothers had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when they saw Gu Nian getting off the carriage, the three of them hugged her and surrounded her, "Mother." ”

Gu Nian carefully looked at them one by one from top to bottom, she was not without apprehension in her heart, when she went out, she said that she was not in good health and went to find a good doctor, but her sons are so smart, where would she not know that it was just an excuse.

She looked at the three similar faces in front of her, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but cry.

Xu Er hugged her shoulders, helped her wipe away her tears, and then looked at the carriage, her father had not yet come down.

He sneered in his heart, even if his father knew him, he knew that he shouldn't have pretended to be sick to his mother back then, and threw this huge country to him with his imperial uncle.

When the curtain opened, the first thing that popped out was a small head, with pink beads on it, and when it was raised, it revealed a face carved in pink below.

The three brothers were stunned...... Where did this little girl come from, the first to speak was Xiao Yun, his temper was not at all the same as what he showed in front of outsiders, or rather, he was actually a little similar to the young Xiao Yue, a little hot.

He sneered,

"Mother, did your father do something sorry for you outside, no wonder he didn't dare to come out to meet people, it turned out that even his daughter was born with someone else?"

Xiao Xuan said indignantly on the side, "Mother, don't be afraid, there is no father, you still have our three brothers, let's go back to the palace." ”

Xu'er coughed, "Okay, don't make any noise, you haven't figured anything out, is it useful to be noisy?" ”

He let go of Gu Nian and slowly walked to the side of the car, looking at the little girl with a pink carving, looking up at him with a happy face.

"Brother, I'm Bao'er."

"Daddy said that my brother will definitely like me when he sees me, then brother, do you like me?"

Boa had never met her brothers, only from her parents' mouths and her father's portraits, but as soon as she saw them, she fell in love with them.

When she was in Guangyang Mansion, she envied that Cuihua next door had brothers and sisters.

Her mother said that she had three older brothers and an older sister, the Chaoyang sister of the emperor's uncle's family.

She stood on the wheel, threw herself into Xu'er's arms, and then hugged his neck tightly, grinning at him.

Xu'er hugged Bao'er tightly, and said to the people in the carriage,

"You'd better explain what the hell is going on, otherwise, I'll immediately take my mother and younger brothers to live in the Jin Palace, whoever likes to sit on this throne will sit ......"

Xiao Yue jumped down from the carriage and coughed,

"This is your sister......"

He coughed again, "Well, aren't you afraid that your grandfather won't let her play outside if he finds out that your mother is pregnant......

"Okay, okay, it's all the Father's fault, and I hid it from you."

His eyes wandered and he looked at Gu Nian.

It's a pity that Gu Nian only has three children in his eyes, and he doesn't pay any attention to him.

He touched his nose and looked at Xu'er calmly,

"How could I betray your mother, one by one, it's really the opposite."

Xu Er snorted coldly, looked at Bao'er cautiously, and said softly,

"My brother likes Bo'er too."

He lifted Bao'er high above his head, smiling as if he could express his joy for his sister.

Actually, when he saw his sister, he knew that this was his sister, his sister.

However, the father deceived the three brothers for so long, and he always had to be punished.

The mother is too delicate, how can they bear to blame? A sense of anger can only be sent on Xiao Yue's body.

Xiao Yun and Xiao Xuan looked at Gu Nian at the same time, and when they saw her nodding affirmatively, they walked to Xu'er's side one after another, Xiao Yun carefully poked Bao'er's pink cheeks,

"Bao'er, I'm your second brother......"

Bao'er was very happy, and although the road was tiring, this night, she went back and forth in the arms of her three brothers, here and there.

Sure enough, as my father and mother said, my brothers really liked her.

She's really the baby of the family.

One night, the palace was full of her 'giggling' laughter, and in the end, Gu Nian finally coaxed her to sleep, leaving space for the father and son.

After Xiao Yun and Xiao Xuan listened to a few words of Xiao Yue's teachings, they went back to the palace to rest, they had promised to take Bao'er outside the palace tomorrow and take her to eat delicious food, so they had to sleep enough, as for the rest, just wait for the eldest brother and father to say go.

Only father and son were left in the imperial study, Xu Er and Xiao Yue talked about the recent things in the court, Xiao Yue waved his hand and smiled,

"You have been with your imperial grandfather since you were a child, and later by your imperial uncle, you have your own hills and valleys in your chest, I believe you can do a good job."

He paused, "There's just one thing I want to talk to you about. ”

Although Xu Er was angry that his father had been hiding him for so long in the matter of his sister, His Majesty the Young Emperor had always been clear about the importance of the matter, so he stood up respectfully and said,

"Father, please."

Xiao Yue asked him to sit down and said,

"People say that the emperor has to have seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, but in my father's opinion, those are all fake."

"Although your marriage is a private matter, it is also a state matter."

"But my father hopes that you can choose a woman you like as the queen, you are still so young, there is still a long way to go, this deep palace is lonely, it is too tiring to walk alone."

He stared at his son Yingting's face, thinking that his father Xiao Yi wanted to change the crown prince, but he stopped him.

But I didn't expect that in the dark, there was a providence, and the power of this dynasty was still in the hands of his son.

However, he never regretted what he had done.

It's just that he is very aware of the hardships involved, so he hopes that his son can be like him, love women wholeheartedly, and support each other.

A year later, the young emperor got married, and after giving tea to Gu Nian and Xiao Yue, he and the queen sent off their parents who were traveling far away.

He looked at the queen with gentle eyes, reached out to stroke her sideburns, and whispered,

"My father and mother both told me that if I want to be good to you, I will have a couple for the rest of my life, and I promised them that I will only be good to you in this life, and I will be a couple for a lifetime."

The young queen looked at her husband in a daze, and her eyes were full of tears.

For this sentence, she accompanied her husband to overcome obstacles and go through her life, and her husband did fulfill that promise.
