The first time I saw Mei Yuanniang, it was the winter solstice when Shangguan Zhuo was ten years old.

On that day, he went to Concubine Hui's palace for the first time.

The mother concubine failed to survive the late autumn of that year, and the father sympathized with his young age, and saw that the mother concubine had a good relationship with Concubine Hui before her death, so he handed him over to Concubine Hui and was raised by her.

Concubine Hui has no children and no daughters under her knees, and she was diagnosed as infertile earlier, so she got his cheap son, but she took care of him everywhere.

After the death of his mother, he fell seriously ill, and it was Concubine Hui who took care of him untied, and it took more than half a month to drag him back from the ghost gate.

On the day of the first recovery from a serious illness, it happened to be the winter solstice.

He got up in the morning and packed up to greet Concubine Hui, and when he didn't want to enter the palace, he saw a little girl first.

is delicate and delicate, and the eyebrows and eyes are not like the delicate girls you usually see, but they have a bit of heroism.

Seeing him looking at herself, the girl was not cowardly, smiled at him generously, and said, "You are Your Highness?" Greetings to you. ”

She smiled, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks.

The pear vortex is shallow, and it is cute for a while.

The girls who saw him in the past were all low-eyebrowed, but she was different.

The attendant beside him hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, this is Concubine Hui's niece's niece, the youngest daughter of the Mei family, and her name is Yuan Niang." ”

Shangguan Zhuo nodded slightly, but he knew in his heart: "No courtesy, get up." ”

His face was calm, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, no wonder he was so afraid of life, it turned out to be a child of the Mei family.

The ancestor of the Mei family in Anling is the great Confucian of Western Chu, although there are not many Mei families in the dynasty now, but the father is extremely respectful.

For example, his current adoptive mother, Concubine Hui, has never given birth to a son and a half daughter for more than ten years in the palace, but she is still in the concubine position and has a stable position, many of which are because she was born in the Mei family.

The little girl raised by such a family is naturally generous.

"Shao'er is here, why don't you sit? Come and show your Highness tea. ”

When Concubine Hui came out, she saw that he was still standing, and ordered the palace people with a smile, and she came over to shake his hand, her eyebrows and eyes were full of pity: "Your hands are so cold, how did they do it, they don't know how to get you a soup woman." ”

Before she could finish speaking, a chuckle came from the side.

Concubine Hui glanced back at the other party, and Mei Yuanniang immediately restrained her smile and saluted obediently: "Auntie." ”

Concubine Hui glanced at her, and then introduced him again: "This is the child of the mother's brother's family, because he was born in Yuanyue, so he took the common name Yuanniang." She is a year younger than you, she is spoiled at home on weekdays, and she is the most stingy, Shao'er, you don't have to be like her. ”

As she spoke, she feigned anger and said, "Don't you come to see Your Highness?" ”

Hearing this, Mei Yuanniang immediately stepped forward obediently and saluted again: "Greetings to His Highness." ”

It's just that she quietly grimaced at Shangguan Zhuo from an angle that Concubine Hui couldn't see.

Shangguan Zhuo's heart was slightly sunny, and he unconsciously explained for her: "Miss Fang Cai Mei has already asked Erchen to say goodbye, and she is delicate and cute, and Erchen likes it very much." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Hui quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "She has been living in the palace for the past few days, Shao'er can rest assured, the mother concubine will not let her disturb you." ”

Shangguan Zhuo nodded in response, accompanied her to breakfast, and saw that it was not early, so he got up and said goodbye: "Erchen will go to Wenlin Yuan first." ”

Wenlin Yuan is the place where the princes study, and now that he has recovered from a serious illness, it is time for him to go to class.

After hearing her words, Concubine Hui responded with a smile, and explained to the palace people, and ordered him to serve him.

When Shangguan Zhuo walked to the door, he vaguely heard Concubine Hui's low voice: "I really spoiled you at home, how could you be so rude to the eldest prince?" ”

Then I heard the little girl smile and replied, "I look at his cuteness......"

After that, Shangguan Zhuo couldn't really hear it.

It's just that the first impression of Mei Yuanniang comes from this - unruly.

But later, he learned that the other party had been very restrained that day.

She's not just unruly, she doesn't know what the rules are!

……

"Mei Yuanniang, come down."

The wind is cold in winter, the plum blossoms are in full bloom in the Imperial Garden, and the air is full of fragrance.

But there was a young man standing under the tree, looking helpless and worried.

He frowned and looked at the girl in the tree.

Wearing a bright red jacket and skirt, sitting on the branch without any image, the pair of embroidered shoes swayed and swayed, Dongzhu was a little dazzling under the shadow of the sun, which made Shangguan Zhuo Zhuofa purse his lips.

She looked at him condescendingly, shaking her head like a rattle, and the pearls on her head shook with it, and the jingle was beautiful.

"Your Highness, you come up together, you can look outside the palace wall from here!"

The little girl tried to coax him, but Shangguan Zhuo was not fooled at all: "Looking out from you is Yongfu Palace, far away from the palace." But if you don't come down, the palace will now ask someone to tell the mother concubine that you can see the Buddha statue all night tonight. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Yuanniang suddenly pursed her lips, said bored, and said, "Okay, then I'll come down, you want to take my flowers-"

As she spoke, she casually threw the plum blossom branch in her hand towards him.

Shangguan Zhuo subconsciously went to pick it up, but saw that the little girl actually clapped her hands and was about to jump down from the tree!

"Don't ......"

He didn't finish a word, and the little girl fell straight down like fire.

Shangguan Zhuo didn't have time to think, he had already become a human flesh wall and made a cushion for her.

"Hmm......"

The two rolled in the snow, and Shangguan Zhuo was pressed to the ground, not forgetting to firmly protect the girl in his arms.

Mei Yuanniang didn't expect him to follow her, she was surprised at first, and then laughed with joy: "Your Highness, you are stupid, I know kung fu, you can't fall me at such a distance!" ”

When she laughed, the pear vortex became a little deeper, and her eyes were like crescents, full of fine fragments of light.

Shangguan Zhuo only felt that his heart was empty for a moment.

It took him a while to regain his breath, but he said with a tense face, "Get up." ”

Seeing this, Mei Yuanniang reacted, hurriedly got up from the ground, and stretched out her hand to him again: "I'll pull you up." ”

The hands were a little red from the cold, and the snow on them turned into water, stained with crystal clear.

He pursed his lips, slowly got up from the ground, and said, "Let's go, go back to the palace." ”

At this look, Mei Yuanniang hurriedly grabbed his arm and shook it, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, are you angry?" I was wrong—"

The little girl's eyes blinked, and her long eyelashes were like crow wings, as if the wind had fanned his heart.

Shangguan Zhuo sighed, and was about to say something, but saw her hugging his arm, stopping him from walking, and said coquettishly: "I really know it's wrong, Your Highness, brother, Brother Shao, you ......"

Shangguan Zhuo's breath staggered instantly: "What do you call me?" ”

Mei Yuanniang blinked helplessly: "Shao, brother, ......"

"Flowers for you."

He shoved the plum blossom he was guarding into her hand and ran away.

And Mei Yuanniang, who was standing in place, was stunned at first, then looked at the intact plum blossom in her hand, and instantly chased after her eyebrows: "Your Highness, you really protect my flowers......"

"Re-called!"

"What...... Brother Shao? ”

"Hmm."

"Brother Shao!"

"Hmm."

"Brother Shao, Brother Shao!"

“…… Well. ”

The daylight was very good, and the girl held a plum blossom in her arms and sprinkled the fragrance all the way.

Also, the boy tried hard, but he couldn't help but soften his face, and a smile quietly spread.

……

After the Spring Festival, Shangguan Zhuo knew why Mei Yuanniang had lived in the palace for more than a month.

Her father, the elder brother of Concubine Hui, was promoted to Kyoto after the New Year, and although he received a leisurely official position, he could be regarded as having a foothold in the palace. Love Book House

Concubine Hui was very happy because of this, these things didn't feel anything for Shangguan Zhuo, the only thing he felt a little happy about was that Yuan Niang could enter the palace from time to time.

Concubine Hui has no children under her knees, only an adopted son, Shangguan Zhuo, she loves it as if she is an eyeball, but unfortunately Shangguan Zhuo is older, and the time with her is short, although the mother and son are also close, but if they are really affectionate, they don't.

What's more, the niece and nephew are different, and she is a likable niece and nephew.

Therefore, Concubine Hui will take Mei Yuanniang to the palace from time to time, she knows Mei Yuanniang's temperament, for fear that these two children will have conflicts, but she doesn't know that it is in line with Shangguan Zhuo's thoughts.

The sun and the moon flow, and the grass grew and the warbler flew.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Five years is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

The Miss Mei family, who would take him up the mountain to climb trees, go into the water to catch fish, and did all the trick-making things, has now become a slim girl.

It's just that his temperament hasn't changed much.

"You haven't changed, you're still the same...... Stuffy! ”

It was in the afternoon, the girl held her cheeks, looked at Shangguan Zhuo who was drawing, and added a brush to the paper as if she was messing around.

It ruined his painting in an instant.

Shangguan Zhuo just smiled good-natured and said, "Don't make trouble." ”

This is the homework assigned by the master of Guoxue, and he easily drew it, but who knew that it was ruined by the little girl.

However, seeing her pouting and boring look, she added: "When I finish painting, can I secretly take you to Wenlin Garden?" ”

Wenlin Yuan is the place where the princes take classes, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter, not even the inner servants, let alone Mei Yuanniang.

But she had taken a fancy to the sour jujube tree in Wenlin Garden earlier, and she was thinking about stealing jujube to eat, and she had already talked to him several times.

Sure enough, after hearing Guan Zhuo's words, the smile in Mei Yuanniang's eyes instantly increased: "Really? ”

Seeing Shangguan Zhuo nodded, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Pull the hook." ”

When the girl in front of her laughs, the dimples are sweet and intoxicating.

Shangguan Zhuo always felt that she had honey on her body, otherwise why did he feel that his heart was sweet when he saw her?

"Okay, pull the hook."

With his promise, the little girl did not make trouble anymore, but sat obediently on his threshold, and held a handful of weeds from nowhere, like green caterpillars, changing in her hands, as if she was making something.

Shangguan Zhuo couldn't see it really, just looked at her slender back, and the rearranged paper failed to draw the picture of the country and mountains that the master wanted.

And it became a beauty roll.

Shangguan Zhuo couldn't take her to pick dates in the end.

When he finally put away his thoughts, and even hid the painting well, he adjusted his expression and planned to take the little girl out, when he saw the waiter coming first.

"Greetings to Your Highness, greetings to Miss Mei."

Shangguan Zhuo nodded in response and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Mrs. Mei is here, please Miss Mei over."

Shangguan Zhuo's expression was slightly stunned, and a bit of bitterness instantly spread in his heart.

Yes, she is not a child in the palace, she has just entered the palace to accompany Concubine Hui these days, but she can't live in the palace for a long time.

This is not her home.

Before he could say anything, he saw Mei Yuanniang have a bitter face, hid behind Shangguan Zhuo, shook his arm, and said, "Brother Shao, I don't want to go back, my mother wants to arrest me to go back to study!" ”

is still at ease in the palace, and when she goes home, she has to see the female ring, her head is big!

The little girl's appearance amused him, she shook her head with a smile, and said, "Okay, this palace will go with you, okay?" ”

When he saw that the little girl was unhappy, he was a little happy in his heart, but his face was still gentle and soft: "Madame, come here, you can't see it, right?" ”

Seeing this, Mei Yuanniang nodded unwillingly: "Okay then......"

She was expecting Ai Ai to accompany Shangguan Zhuo over, and then saw her own mother gouging out her eyes: "Bastard girl, you dare to go with His Royal Highness?" Don't make amends to His Highness yet! ”

According to the rules, standing next to Shangguan Zhuo, Mei Yuanniang should take half a step backward to show her humility.

But she stuck to Shangguan Zhuo and didn't pay attention to those rules at all.

Mrs. Mei was frightened into a cold sweat, but Concubine Hui covered her lips and chuckled: "Okay, what's this?" The two children are playing well, and they don't care about this. Shao'er, Yuan Niang, come and sit here. ”

When Mei Yuanniang heard this, she immediately winked at her own mother, and then pasted Concubine Hui with a smile: "It's still good aunt, look at my mother, I don't know, I think I picked it up on the street, and I am so fierce to me!" ”

As she spoke, she wrinkled her nose again, rubbed Concubine Hui, and said, "You say, I'm so cute, how can my mother be willing to give it up!" ”

Concubine Hui was rubbed by her, doted on the tip of her nose, and said, "You ghost." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Mei on the side also smiled helplessly: "Niangniang, you can be regarded as seeing it, everyone else is raising a caring little padded jacket, but our family is different, this is raising a little white-eyed wolf!" ”

Shangguan Zhuo sat there and didn't talk, but he retorted in his heart.

Where is the white-eyed wolf, it is clearly a candied plum, sweet and sour, all the way from the throat to the heart.

The little girl quietly grimaced at him, causing Shangguan Zhuo's lips to bend as well.

is so cute, where is anyone willing to treat her badly?

Even he thinks that she wants the stars in the sky, and he is willing to build a ladder and climb up to pick them for her.

Mei Yuanniang still let Mrs. Mei take her away, the Mei family is in Shangjing, no matter how much Concubine Hui likes her, it is not good for her biological mother and daughter to be separated day by day.

It was Mei Yuanniang's eyes that were red, which made her feel particularly distressed, because she smiled and coaxed: "Autumn hunting will be going in a while, then Yuanniang will go with you, let Brother Shao take you to play, okay?" ”

Mei Yuanniang got this promise, and immediately responded with a smile, she peeked at Shangguan Zhuo, and saw that the other party gave her a reassuring look.

When she left satisfied, Concubine Hui sighed softly and said, "This child, seeing that she is about to be in time, is still like a child." ”

Shangguan Zhuo rarely accosted: "She's fine." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Hui glanced at him in surprise, and then smiled: "This palace thought you would hate her back then, after all, this child is really noisy." ”

At that time, she took Shangguan Zhuo to her side.

She has no children, and she doesn't know how to take care of them, because of her own health, she never thought that she would have children in this life.

In this palace, there are also rare honest people, and Shangguan Zhuo's biological mother, Concubine Shu, is one of them.

As one of the four concubines, she is a good-natured person, gentle and able to drip water, and she also takes care of her.

It is precisely because of this that after the death of Concubine Shu, she fought for the emperor and raised the child in her own name.

She was cautious at that time, for fear that the child would be raised crookedly by herself, and she was afraid that the child would be separated from herself, and her hair would begin to fall out all day long.

Who knew that Mei Yuanniang, the little girl, was also very naughty, not only destroying all the flowers and plants in the palace, but even making a bastard thing of taking him to the imperial garden to fish for koi to stew.

Concubine Hui was shocked and scared, afraid that there would be something wrong with these two children, and that Shangguan Zhuo would be impatient with the little girl, so when she was punished, she ignored the little girl's pleas for mercy and severely punished her.

Who knows, the one who protected Mei Yuanniang became Shangguan Zhuo.

He took the little girl behind him seriously, and said to her: "The mother concubine punished the son, because the son wanted to eat fish and forced her to go." ”

Where did Concubine Hui believe this, and then looked at the little girl smiling behind him like a fox, and became more and more helpless.

In the end, both of them were punished to the Buddhist hall, but after that, the relationship got better and better.

Concubine Hui thought of the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "Now that you are all so old, the mother concubine is also old." ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Zhuo said with a gentle expression: "The concubine is not old, and the sons think you are very good-looking." ”

The words, coming out of his mouth, seemed sincere and convincing.

Concubine Hui smiled dotingly and said, "You have more contact with Yuan Niang now, but you are getting poorer and poorer." Okay, it's not too early, you can go back and rest, won't your father have to test your homework tomorrow? Raise your spirits, don't let your father down. ”

Shangguan Zhuo responded, exchanged a few words with her and went.

I just remembered one thing on the way, so I turned back again.

Her hall had never been very fond of being served, and now it was empty.

Shangguan Zhuo was about to raise his feet and walk in, but he heard Concubine Hui's voice: "These two children are fateful, do you say that in the future, will they become a couple?" ”

His footsteps stopped.

He felt that a bunch of rabbits had been stuffed into his chest, and he was jumping back and forth like crazy, and he was about to crush one of his hearts.

Shangguan Zhuo couldn't even remember how he went back to the dormitory, he only remembered that he hadn't slept all night, and he had written the Qingxin Secret more than 100 times, but his eyes were full of that girl.
