Chapter 440: Where Spring Returns (End)

Previous Chapter

As soon as I returned to the palace, I had just passed the first palace gate, and I saw my father, queen and mother standing in front of the door to greet me.

I haven't seen each other for just ten days, and my father and mother seem to be a few years older, especially my mother, whose eyes are red and swollen, and who has lost a lot of weight on her body.

I called out "Mother" and knelt down and wept.

The concubine also cried, pointed at me and said, "You girl, if you don't want to recognize me as your concubine, go far away, and come back to hurt the concubine's heart, what are you doing?"

Aunt Wan Hui also wiped her tears on the side and said: "Little Emperor, you don't know the stakes so much, the mother couldn't eat and sleep for you for a few days, and finally got sick, how did you raise your mother from childhood to adulthood, and you hurt your heart like this?" The slave maid ......, "Aunt Wanhui, who is over fifty years old, is also choked up.

Only my father sighed, picked me up and looked at it carefully, and said lightly: "It's thin." I couldn't hold back my father's arms anymore and cried.

I cried for a while, calmed down for a while, comforted my mother softly, glanced at Sister Ling Yu, who was a little cramped beside the phoenix, and said with a smile: "Mother, I have grown a lot of knowledge outside the palace, and I have made a friend, I will show you, she still looks five points similar to me." ”

I pulled Sister Yuling and happily pushed her to my father and mother, my father was better, and when I saw her surprise, my face was kind.

The concubine raised her teary eyes and looked her up and down, and suddenly as if she had seen a ghost, she pulled Wan Hui and raised her voice and said, "Auntie...... Aunt...... Look at ......"

I was taken aback, and Sister Yuling was also taken a few steps back.

The mother concubine didn't care about the presence of everyone, and when she saw her retreating, she hurriedly rushed forward, grabbed her hand, and the tears in her eyes fell more and more anxiously: "You...... You...... What's your name?"

Sister Yuling stammered, "My name is Yuling...... Yuling ......"

When the concubine heard this, a trace of suspicion flashed on her beautiful face, and she suddenly shook her head: "No, no...... Yuling ...... Yuling ...... You're Ling Yu, you're Ling Yu, aren't you...... Right?!" Aunt Wan Hui saw that her mother looked like a crazy demon, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her and persuaded: "Niangniang, she is not Ling Yu...... It's just that she looks like Little Diji. ”

The ten fingers of the mother concubine clasped around Aunt Wan Hui's arm, especially I didn't believe it, but I found that Sister Yuling's face suddenly turned white when she heard the mother concubine say, "You are Ling Yu".

The mother's longing eyes stared at her, naturally she didn't let go of her strange appearance, she was more and more sure that she was Ling Yu, pushed away Wan Hui's hand, grabbed her hand and looked at it carefully, she suddenly lifted Sister Yuling's sleeve again, looked behind her ears again, and the tears in her eyes fell like rain: "You are my Ling Yu, you have a red mole on your arm, and you also have a ...... behind your ear The mother concubine has been looking for you for more than ten years, when the city was broken, I was afraid that you and the mother concubine would become prisoners together, so I asked Cuiwen and Xiao Fuzi to send you out of the palace,...... My Ling Yu......" The mother said as she cried silently.

Everyone next to them was dumbfounded, and his father was also moved.

I was also stupid all of a sudden, my mother must be right when she said that. Let's see that she and her mother are actually five points similar, and the more you look at it, the more similar they become. And I, there really isn't anything like my mother's half-star. My face is a little round, with phoenix eyebrows and willow eyes, beautiful and beautiful, but it is too gorgeous, and her face is three points elegant and one point refined.

I was sad in my heart, my mother still pulled her and kept talking, talking about some things when she was a child, the vigilance on Sister Yuling's face gradually faded, and she also looked at her mother with tears in her eyes and asked carefully: "Are you really my mother?" Aunt Cui said that you are probably dead, or you are suffering in the Chu Palace with Emperor Hua......" she said halfway through and couldn't continue.

The mother concubine had already hugged her, crying and laughing at her father, and said to Aunt Wanhui: "Your Majesty, aunt, look at her, she is really my Ling Yu, my Ling Yu ......" As she spoke, she suddenly put her hands on her chest and fell softly to the ground.

The father was shocked, and when she fell to the ground, he had already copied her in his hand, picked her up and shouted to the palace people: "Hurry up and pass the imperial doctor." With that, he personally hugged her and rushed to the palace.

Aunt Wan Hui was also panicked, but she pulled Sister Ling Yu to the palace as well, and everyone else followed into the palace, and I fell to the last side, and only walked slowly.

It's so good that Sister Yuling turned out to be the daughter of her mother who was exiled, and I brought her into the palace by mistake.

I thought about it, but I was stunned and shed tears on my face, and I didn't know whether to be happy for my mother and sister Ling Yu or sad for my own life experience.

The fragrance around me was blowing, and the eldest emperor's sister was helped to my side by the palace maid, and when she saw me crying, she looked at me carefully, and then said slowly: "I only know that you are my second emperor sister Chu Linxiang, my sister, this has never changed." I felt a warm heart when I heard this, hugged her, and called: "Sister Huanghuang." And he could no longer speak.

The eldest sister sighed, looked into my eyes and said, "In this palace, you treat me as your sister, treat me sincerely." Don't say anything about it, I won't let others snatch it away from you. ”

I was stunned when I heard this, she meant ......, no wonder she thought like this, I was not my father's biological daughter, and now I am not my mother's child, everything about me is like a blessing that has fallen from the world, if someone wants to take it back, they will accept it. I hurriedly waved my hand: "No, no, no...... Sister Huang, I didn't mean that......"

She reached out and touched my face, and suddenly smiled: "You are so kind, don't worry, I won't mess around, I'm just worried so I have such a thought." Her smile had the nobility and inviolability of the orthodox imperial bloodline, I knew she was right, but I didn't think so in my heart, if Sister Ling Yu took everything that belonged to me, it should be, I didn't have a trace of resentment.

When she returned to the palace to inquire, the concubine was just overjoyed, and her blood surged before she fainted temporarily, and Imperial Doctor Qin woke up after a few stitches for her.

As soon as she woke up, she was anxious to see Sister Ling Yu, Aunt Wan Hui pulled her to the collapse of the concubine, when I went in to visit, what I saw was the concubine pulling her to babble and talking, and when she saw me, she didn't let go, she just said to me: "Lin Xiang, come over and see your sister Ling Yu quickly." ”

I smiled and saluted, and Sister Ling Yu stood up and bowed her head.

The concubine glanced at me, and pulled her to say non-stop, I sat on the side and was embarrassed, every word and every look of the concubine was looking at Sister Ling Yu, and there was no room for me to interject.

I fidgeted and wanted to leave. Suddenly, Sister Ling Yu asked in a low voice and hesitantly: "Mother, I heard that my father was locked up in the 'Qiyun Palace', I ...... Can I visit him?"

I was stunned, and my mother was also stunned, and only closed her eyes after a while, and said tiredly: "What are you going to do to see him?" He is nothing but a sinner in the whole kingdom of China. ”

"But! Even if he is a sinner in the whole world, he is also my father!" Sister Ling Yu suddenly stood up and said loudly, Linglong's chest rose and fell because of excitement: "I thought it would ...... I originally thought that my mother and concubine also suffered with my father, and we have been inquiring for many years, and finally learned that my father and his relatives in the palace were all in the Chu Palace. I didn't expect ...... Didn't expect ......"

The mother concubine suddenly opened her eyes, her usually gentle and clear eyes shot a cold chill, stood up and stared straight at her red face, and said word by word with her endless words: "I didn't expect that I was the palace concubine of Emperor Chu, enjoying all the glory and wealth, while your so-called father and emperor were locked up in the abandoned palace, sad and sad, all you have to say is these words." ”

After she finished speaking, tears rolled down her cheeks, trembling all over, and the whole person exuded desperate pain, even I felt it.

Aunt Wan Hui, who was waiting outside, heard these words, hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of her mother, shook her hand and begged: "Niangniang, why don't you tell the truth, saying these nonsense words to anger yourself and hurt the harmony of your mother and daughter?" Empress...... You know how hard it was for us back then, mother...... You say something, tell Emperor Ling Yu that this is not the case, it is not like this......" She cried so much that she fell to the ground.

I was also at a loss and wanted to step forward to help, but I was afraid of my mother's eyes.

The concubine suddenly said coldly: "Auntie, get up." She decided in her heart that I was such a person, and it was useless to say anything. She closed her eyes and slowly lay down on the couch again, saying no more.

Aunt Wanhui's gray hair shook in front of my eyes, and I finally couldn't help but help her up and said, "Auntie, don't cry, if you have something to say, speak slowly." Sister Ling Yu will understand. ”

Sister Ling Yu's face was flushed, and she stomped her feet and went out.

Wan Hui saw that the concubine closed her eyes tightly, and tears continued to leak out of the corners of her eyes, so she pulled me and begged: "Now I'm afraid that Niangniang won't be able to listen to anything." You hurry up and get Emperor Lingyu back. I have something to say to you. ”

She seemed to have made a big decision, and she urged again and again.

I couldn't just search all over the Chu Palace to find Sister Ling Yu hiding in a secluded garden, and dragged her to Aunt Wanhui.

When Aunt Wan Hui saw us arriving, she knelt down solemnly and said, "The slave maid is Wan Hui, the aunt of the Shangfu Bureau in the Hua Palace, and I am here to meet the two emperors of Huaguo, Emperor Ling Yu and Emperor Ling Xiang. ”

She made a solemn salute, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Aunt Wan Hui calmly brushed my hand away and insisted on bowing.

"Emperor Ling Xiang, don't you also want to know your identity? In fact, you should have guessed that you are also an emperor of Huaguo, and you and Emperor Lingyu are half-sisters. ......" she said slowly, from how the mother concubine sent away Emperor Lingyu that day, how she committed suicide and martyrdom, and finally how she became the concubine of her father at that time, she said slowly without concealment.

She asked, "What should you do in such a situation?" she asked. Emperor Lingxiang, for you, for the sake of us, for a few of us from the Hua Palace, gritted her teeth, step by step to today. She just wanted to see her own flesh and blood one day in her life, and see Emperor Lingyu......" she wiped her tears and said: "In the past ten years, Niangniang has not forgotten for a moment how to find the child she misses......"

My aunt said a few more secrets about the concubine's affairs in the palace, which was really bloody and tearful. Listening to the two of us sobbing, Sister Ling Yu couldn't cry anymore. Only then did I realize how difficult my mother had been over the years, and how lucky I was.

After the aunt finished speaking, she turned around and took out a small mahogany box, opened it and said to Sister Ling Yu: "Every time Niangniang makes clothes for Emperor Ling Xiang, there must be a share of yours, according to her own imagination, every stitch and thread is sewn by herself." This is just one of them, and several other boxes are stored in the storeroom, and no one can touch them. ”

When I saw it, I only felt that the golden light was dazzling, and all of them were embroidered with gold and silver, and the materials were all of the highest quality. When Sister Ling Yu saw it, she didn't know what to say.

My aunt wiped her tears and said: "Even if you don't say this, the mother desperately sent you out of the palace to save your life, you look at the other Huaguo Emperor Ji Zongji has a few good endings now, except that Emperor Ling Xiang is by the side of the mother, and recognizes the emperor as his father, otherwise it will be difficult." Niangniang told the slave maid that when she committed suicide and martyrdom that day, she and Emperor Hua broke off their relationship and went their separate ways. Poor God, I can't die ......"

Sister Ling Yu screamed, turned around and went out. I wanted to chase after me again, but Aunt Wanhui grabbed me and said, "Don't go, let her think about it, Niangniang's knot still needs to be untied." ”

I thought about it, wiped my tears and leaned on my aunt's warm embrace, not wanting to move.

……

I'm almost done with my story. Just like the rising sun and the moon, life also has ups and downs, I am only glad that my mother finally found her own child, I am also glad that I have been able to be taken care of by my mother for the past 14 years, I am very happy, and she gave me an incomparable maternal love when she also gave me an extremely honorable identity.

Sister Ling Yu and I finally went to the "Qiyun Palace" to visit our biological father at dusk, he was too old to recognize people anymore. Although the concubine did not want to see him, she also secretly sent someone to take care of his life. It's just that his spirit has long since collapsed, his clothes are clean, his face is elegant, but he no longer has any expression. The two of us looked at each other speechlessly, and finally kowtowed deeply to him, and turned around and walked out of the "Qiyun Palace".

There is no more hatred in the hearts of both of us, and there is no regret. Huadi is now completely integrated with Chudi, and the Yuanjiang River is no longer the dividing line between the two countries, and the two countries complement each other and prosper abnormally.

And I'm ...... is also about to get married, Qin Minghuang personally came to my father and the emperor, and asked for peace with a bride price, wanting to marry me as the queen of Qin.

I looked at his not-so-handsome face behind the beaded curtain and smiled and agreed.

No matter how many years have passed, even though I have reached the last moment of my life, I still remember the grand occasion of my marriage that day.

The night before the wedding, the eldest sister gave me one of the most precious gifts I have ever received. She embroidered a beautiful red wedding dress for me.

The bright red glossy satin is finely embroidered with gold and silver threads of five colorful phoenixes of different shapes, the golden gold thread outlines the long phoenix feathers of the phoenix, and the different feathers in each place of the phoenix are finely embroidered with different peacock feathers, and then carefully brush out the hairs, and look at it from a distance, it really looks like a real phoenix.

The big skirt is spread out in a fan shape, all kinds of flowers are embroidered on the phoenix clothes, and a hollow gold thread of the same color is set on the outside.

As soon as I put on the whole dress, it was extremely luxurious, and I stood like the most beautiful and proud phoenix in the red sea.

The eldest sister looked at me with satisfaction, and choked up: "The eldest sister said, until the day you get married, I will give you a gift, this phoenix costume, it took me three years to make it, do you think it is appropriate to wear it?"

I burst into tears.

Early in the morning of the second day, the morning glow was shining, the golden glow reflected my wedding phoenix dress, I was covered with golden light, and the phoenixes on my body seemed to be alive and brilliant, I could hear the suppressed exclamations of the palace people on both sides of my passing, as well as the relieved eyes of my father and mother in front of me, and next to them, was my husband - Qin Minghuang in a red dragon robe.

His eyes were full of amazement and deep tenderness.

I bowed to my father, the emperor and the concubine, knelt down three times and bowed nine times, and only said: "My daughter will say goodbye to her father and mother, and she will marry to the Qin State, and I wish my father and mother a blessed life and good health!" Yes, they are just my father and mother, at this moment.

After saying that, my mother finally burst into tears with a smile, and my father, who had always been unsmiling, was also moved and took me to his hand.

My hands were slightly cold, his hands were warm and dry, and I smiled at him through the beaded crown. He also clasped my hand tightly.

……

Everyone has an ending for everyone.

Day by day, I sat firmly in my position as queen, governing the Qin State with the husband who "didn't look old", and only occasionally I would smile and remember the willfulness and happiness of the past.

Sister Ling Yu accompanied my mother and concubine in the palace for three years, and finally left a book early one morning and ran away, saying that she wanted to explore the rivers and lakes. And this is already another story of hers.
