Great Qi Palace.

A corner of the harem, in the Wenxiu Palace.

Next to the dimly lit light, a pretty woman in plain clothes was sewing a man's shirt.

Every stitch and thread is extremely serious.

"Master, it's getting so late."

"It's better to go and rest early, and sew again tomorrow?"

Xiaomei, the personal maid, really couldn't look at it, so she stepped forward and whispered to her. Such a scene is obviously not once or twice. In the long run, the eyes of his own master can't bear it at all.

"Only the last sleeve is missing, and the sewing is finished."

"It's okay to go back to rest later, and while I'm still in good health, I can sew a few more clothes for him. In a few years, when I am old, my hands will not be as dexterous as they are now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sew clothes for him. ”

Concubine Xiu didn't raise her head, still staring intently at the needle and thread in her hand.

"But ......, master."

"Hey."

Xiaomei was very helpless, she had persuaded her countless times before. But she was still very persistent and didn't listen to her persuasion at all.

Over the years, whenever there is a little time, his master will bury his head in sewing. Before you know it, all kinds of men's clothes have filled a whole wardrobe.

Day after day, year after year.

Thinking about it, it makes people feel extremely distressed.

"I don't know when the six princes will be able to come back?"

"I'm a little bit of a stranger about him, too."

Xiaomei was the only one who knew that Su Li was still alive. She was born like Concubine Xiu, and she was an ordinary maid in the palace before Emperor Jingde ascended the throne.

Time flies, more than 20 years have passed, and she has also changed from a young and beautiful girl to a middle-aged woman with wrinkles on her face. He has never married in his life, but silently stays by Concubine Xiu's side. The two are called master and servant, but in fact, they are more sisters.

In the deep palace, the two depend on each other. Although the dwelling is very simple, although it is not favored by the emperor. But they live far more freely than the other women in the palace.

There is no excessive expectation, and there is no more disappointment.

Su Li has changed from a toddler to a handsome teenager.

She was fortunate enough to have witnessed it with her own eyes.

"You should be back soon, right?"

"I wonder if he's thin? Or fat? ”

"I don't know if the clothes I made fit him?"

Gently bite off the silk thread with your mouth, and the sleeves are finally sewn. The black men's shirt does not look luxurious. The whole shirt is up and down, and there is not a single gold and silver thread.

It's just that at the cuff of it, there is a plum blossom that blooms.

Plum blossoms are noble.

She liked it, and he liked it.

*

Outside the window, a black figure appeared.

Listening to the conversation between the two in the room, his heart was particularly uncomfortable. Out of the corner of his eye, two lines of tears flowed.

"It's been eight years."

Time flies, and he has been gone for eight years.

His mother was noticeably older. At the sideburns, there are already some white threads.

He should have come back sooner.

*

"Bang bang bang."

I couldn't bear it anymore and walked to the door. Trembling stretched out his hand and gently tapped the door.

"Who is it?"

Xiaomei looked puzzled and shouted loudly.

Being in the harem, naturally don't worry about safety. But it's already so late, who will come?

Wenxiu Palace, there have been no other visitors for several years.

"Bang bang bang."

No one answered outside, and the knock on the door rang out again.

"Let's go open the door first."

"Don't wake up Xiaolan."

In Wenxiu Palace, there are only one master, two maids and three people. Xiaolan is responsible for cleaning up on weekdays, and Xiaomei is responsible for serving her on weekdays.

At this time, Xiaolan had already gone to rest first.

"Hmm."

Xiaomei nodded lightly and walked towards the door.

"Squeak."

Little by little, the doors opened.

Outside, it was pitch black.

By the faint light of the candle, a black figure could be seen standing outside the door. He wore a silver mask on his face, and the candlelight shone with a dazzling white light.

"Who are you?"

The person outside the door was a little thin, and the clothes on his body were obviously not the palace guards. At his chin, there was a faint stubble popping out, and it was obviously not a eunuch in the palace.

There were no other men in the palace at all.

Who is he?

Xiaomei quickly took a few steps back, casually picking up a vase on the side of the shelf. If someone comes but has a little misconduct, she will strike first.

"Aunt May."

"I haven't seen you for years, so don't come unharmed."

The person who came smiled faintly and spoke, like a spring breeze gently blowing.

“？？？”

"Click."

Xiaomei looked shocked, and the vase in her hand fell to the ground, shattering instantly. The sound suddenly came, alarming Concubine Xiu in the room, and hurriedly ran towards the door.

"You, you, you."

Mei stretched out her finger and pointed at him. For a moment, I couldn't say anything.

"Li'er."

"Huh."

A shadow quickly flashed past Xiaomei and pounced on the arms of the person outside the door. Her hand hugged him tightly, and the tears instantly slipped down and she began to howl and cry.

"Woohoo."

Even though he still wears a mask, even though the night hides his figure. But the mother and son are connected, and she can know that this is his son just by looking at him.

"Mother, the child is not filial."

Su Li gently patted her back, and the corners of his eyes also burst into tears.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Suddenly, there was a sound that woke Xiaolan from her sleep. I didn't have time to get dressed, I just wore a nightdress, and hurriedly ran over here.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

His own master actually hugged a man late at night. Is she already asleep? Or are you still in a dream? I couldn't help but reach out and pinch myself hard.

"Sss

It hurts, it hurts, it's obviously not a dream.

"Aunt Lan."

"Your disheveled appearance is very indecent."

Su Li shook his head and chuckled, and said to her.

"You, you, you."

She, like Xiaomei, was full of shock.

"How is that possible?"

"Is it a human or a ghost?"

Xiaolan's eyes widened, wanting to take a closer look.

She didn't know the news that Su Lishang was still alive, not because she didn't trust her and didn't tell her in advance. Xiaomei also knew the real news because she was close to her and heard her master's self-talk.

"Mother, let's go back to the room."

"It's still a little cold, don't hurt your body."

Su Li carefully supported his mother and walked towards the room.

"Huh?"

"Why are you pulling me?"

Xiaolan was about to go in with her, but Xiaomei grabbed her arm. Her face was puzzled, and she asked her in a word.

"They mother and son haven't seen each other for many years."

"There's definitely a lot more to be said."

"The two of us will go to the kitchen first and prepare some of his favorite foods for the sixth prince."

Xiaomei shook her head slightly, pulling her to turn away.

"Hmm."

Hearing this, Xiaolan nodded lightly in agreement.

"It's like a dream."

"Why did the Sixth Prince suddenly come back to life?"

Xiaolan still looked confused and couldn't figure it out.

"Anyway."

"It's good that the six princes can come back."

"The master no longer has to think about it with tears every day."

Xiaomei shook her head helplessly, but she didn't say much.

"That's right, just come back."

Endless joy filled the faces of the two.

Wenxiu Palace is no longer as deserted as it used to be.

Su Li's return is like a bright moon.

Instantly illuminated, dim Wenxiu Palace.
