Almond rarely went home, and Chu Yan said that he would cook for her.

Almond was surprised, she had only been away from home for a year, and her brother could stir-fry?

However, in the market, watching my brother carefully select the ingredients, it is indeed decent.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, almonds have bought a lot of things for the family, and big fish and meat are also indispensable.

She gave Chu Yan a hand, and the two of them were busy for a while.

As a result, when it was time for lunch, Father Chu did not return.

After some inquiry, I learned that he was drinking with his co-workers in the restaurant.

When he saw Almond, he just looked her up and down.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Almond is back, you don't have to worry about me, I'll go back at night." ”

The woman cautiously advised, "The almonds are leaving in the evening." ”

Father Chu glanced at her, and the wine in his hand shook the table fiercely.

The woman didn't dare to say any more, but hurriedly took the almond and Chu Yan away.

Back home, Almond told Chu Yan again with a solemn expression.

"You can put away the money, don't let your father see it."

Chu Yan's expressionless face had been expressionless since he saw Father Chu, and he was slightly moved.

"Let's eat."

He smiled and opened his mouth and pulled the family to sit down to eat.

My sister finally came back, but don't let these bad things disturb your mind.

In the afternoon, Almond took his mother and brother to visit Qianmen Street.

This is the busiest street in the capital, and I passed by here when I was riding in a horse-drawn carriage today.

Thinking of this, Almond looked back, and sure enough, he found that the people arranged by Sheng Jingyu were far behind them.

So worried about her? She won't run away.

Almond pouted and entered a silk village.

"Mother, you can make some new clothes for yourself and your brother."

The woman shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, it's too expensive here, so let's keep the silver." ”

Almond shook her arm helplessly, "Mother, it's okay." I'll give you the silver next month. ”

Hearing this, the woman was willing to agree.

Almond chose a few pieces of cloth of different colors, enough to make five or six clothes, and then he paid the money satisfied.

After that, I bought some dry goods, took my younger brother to choose a few books, and then went home.

The days are shorter in autumn, so by the time you get home, it's already dark.

At dinner, the atmosphere was noticeably less lively than before.

Almond looked at Chu Yan, who was obviously depressed, and there was a faint reluctance in his heart.

"Yan'er, you study hard at home, and my sister will come back to see you when she is free."

Hearing this, Chu Yan slowly clenched his fists, his eyelashes drooped and he was silent.

Almond sighed, stood up, and hugged her from behind.

"My sister is gone."

The hour is not early, the palace banquet (seven o'clock in the evening) begins, and she is almost rushing back now.

Almond turned to leave, but was grabbed by the arm.

She looked down, Chu Yan still lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly, but the hand that held her was very hard.

Almond waited quietly, and after a while, Chu Yan spoke.

"Sister, I'...... I will definitely enter the palace to find you as soon as possible, you wait for me. ”

Unexpectedly, he held back for a long time, and he actually held back these words, Almond was shocked, afraid that he would do something stupid.

"How did you get into the palace? Although everyone wants to go to that glory and wealth, is it so good? There are many dangers in the palace, what are you doing here? ”

As for her, Almond felt that she was purely lucky to meet such an understanding master as His Majesty.

She didn't think that the palace was really as simple as it seemed.

Every day, palace maids and eunuchs will be punished and killed, which is on the surface; There are countless minions who have disappeared in private.

For this reason, she has always been cautious and cautious in her words and deeds.

But in front of Sheng Jingyu, she was unconsciously stupid, but fortunately, His Majesty didn't care about her.

Chu Yan was silent for a while, and then said:

"I want to study medicine, I have inquired, as long as the medical hall recommends me, and I pass the examination of the Tai Hospital, I can enter the palace to work."

Studying medicine? Almonds subconsciously want to refute.

"You are so talented at reading, can't you study hard? In the future, he will gain fame and fame, and then enter the court as an official. ”

Chu Yan showed a look of pain on his face when he heard this.

"Sister, I can't wait! I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that something happened to you in the palace. You also said that the palace is a place to eat people! Daddy sent you to the palace, I really ...... after I know It's really uncomfortable! It's all my fault...... It's all my fault! It's because I'm incompetent, and I want my sister to come into the palace to treat me! ”

Seeing that Chu Yan was getting more and more excited, holding his chest and looking stimulated, Almond was frightened and hurriedly hugged him.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, my sister knows!"

Speaking of which, he wanted to study medicine for her sake.

The women on the side also hurriedly came up to support Chu Yan, and after hearing what he said, tears fell again.

"It's all my mother's fault......"

The almond's head was big, and he hurriedly coaxed his younger brother and promised to let him study medicine, and Chu Yan slowly calmed down.

"I'm sorry, sister, I'm so excited......"

"Sister, let's go, don't delay."

Seeing that Chu Yan had returned to being a well-behaved and sensible younger brother, Almond still patted his head with some relief.

"What's the matter to say slowly, my sister is not going to be obedient, you take your time to enter the palace, and think about it in the long run, you know?"

Chu Yan nodded, looking lonely.

Almonds came with a full package, but now empty, and she went out with the package on her back, and the carriage was already waiting outside the door.

She turned around three times in one step, and Chu Yan was standing by the door, staring at her without blinking, and her eyes were already red.

Almond was also very uncomfortable, but even if he was reluctant, he got into the car ruthlessly.

She restrained herself from lifting the curtains and walked all the way, until the guard guarding the palace gate outside the car spoke, and she put her hand out of the window and showed the token.

The carriage entered the palace, and the noise of the capital gradually faded away.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the palace, and His Majesty treats her very well, but she is not used to being here.

Entering the palace, it is like a free bird flying into the birdcage and becoming a canary in a cage, even if it is clothed and fed, it still yearns for freedom and wants to fly out of the cage.

Almond thought that she still preferred her simple little home, warm and peaceful.

There were her parents, her brother, all the people she cared about.

Although there is His Majesty in the palace, His Majesty is the Ninety-Five Supreme, and she is just a commoner.

They are very different from each other, and they are not from the same world at all.

Even if they get along with each other too closely, Almond doesn't dare to have the slightest delusion.

The palace is not her belonging, and when she reaches the age in the future, she and His Majesty will apply to leave the palace.

Almond thought about it for a long time, and didn't come back to his senses until the carriage stopped.

She was just about to get out of the car, but she saw a large knobby hand poking in outside the car curtain.

She was stunned, and the ghost sent her hand down.

When the curtain was lifted, revealing the owner of the hands, Almond suddenly felt that all he had thought about was in vain.

At this time, the palms are close to each other, the eyes are facing each other, and the years are quiet.

If the owner loves, is considerate, and cares, what about being a canary?
