When the little dream woke up, it was like a dream with a staggered time. It was as if the first sight of a long, long time ago, the handsome face, the deep concern, the affectionate and gentle call of anxiety, appeared in front of me again, echoing in my ears. Is this a dream? Is it an unrealistic luxury?

His hand held hers, warm, real. His tears were in his eyes, painful, and sorrowful.

She closed her eyes, turned her heart sideways, and didn't look away, tears falling silently from the corners of her eyes. He turned her over, and she "snorted" and opened his hand with her back to him. He tried to pick her up, but she broke free, still cold.

After a moment of silence, she heard Fu Lin's soft, bitter voice full of guilt: "Wanru, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lost my temper that day, do you know why I'm so angry?" I'm actually eating a dead man's vinegar. But you're so stubborn, you don't even explain it to me, it's really not like you used to be. However, if you don't come to me, my mind is full of you, even when I was in court. Why didn't you come to me yet? The other day, I hated and missed you. But as soon as Lian'er came to me, told me that you vomited blood, and told me that you didn't think about tea and dinner these days, and you couldn't sleep at night, my heart was broken, and I couldn't deceive myself anymore. Once you calm down, you will even feel ridiculous, I believe that you didn't go there because you were thinking about Bogol, you didn't love Bogol when he was alive, how could you have feelings for him after he died? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was wrong, but why should I do this? Why didn't you tell me when you were so sick? If Xia He hadn't seen you vomiting blood, and ran desperately to tell me, how long would you have to hide it from me? Are you punishing me? Well, I tell you that your goal has been achieved, and this punishment is very heavy, and my heart hurts and hurts! ”

An emperor, such an affectionate confession will move any concubine when she hears it. But the more Xiaomeng listened, the more angry she became, the more angry she became, she sat up suddenly, looked directly at Fulin and counterattacked: "You are in pain? Am I not in pain? I hurt a thousand times and ten thousand times more than you. You are the emperor on top, you can say that you will turn your face. You don't understand why I didn't go to you, but did you look for me again? I don't understand why you didn't take the initiative, it's obviously you who are wrong, aren't you? Of course, you won't come to me, because you don't have a place to go, and there are so many concubines waiting to comfort your heartache that you can't take care of them, how can you think of me? When your heart hurts, you can still be with other women. You, are you really heartbroken? Hypocrisy, I think you're so happy. Speaking of this, he choked up, and Xiaomeng actually cried out loud.

Fulin was stunned for a while, how is this like that gentle and graceful grace? What's going on? After thinking about it, he snorted and laughed: "I understand, Concubine Ai is jealous." Right? He pulled down Xiaomeng's little hand that was crying and covering her eyes, scratched her little nose, and quipped: "It turns out that not only my Wanru's vinegar, but Wanru's vinegar is even more powerful." In the lower bow, admire, admire, the title of the vinegar king will be given to you. All right? ”

"Hmph, you're the vinegar king! You are still a vinegar bucket, a vinegar vat, and a vinegar ancestor! Xiaomeng beat him sadly.

Fu Lin said, "Good, good, I am." For the sake of my willingness to become a vinegar king, spare me, don't be angry anymore, okay? This is not good for your health, I am very worried. ”

Xiaomeng raised his head, saw that Fu Lin really looked worried, and sighed lightly and said, "Well, if I want to forgive you." But from now on, you have to promise me three things, oh no, four things. ”

"Okay, a hundred."

Xiaomeng nodded with satisfaction, and wrenched his hand: "First, don't call me Wanru in the future." ”

"What's that called?" Fu Lin is very strange, this has always been a nickname between them, the emperor and concubine rarely call her by her name, only because she loves Concubine Dong E so much, it is difficult for other concubines to let him call them by their names, how can it be ......

"Call ......" Xiaomeng wanted to say that she would call Xiaomeng, she had always cared about this matter: "Just call it Aifei." ”

"Oh. No problem, as long as Aifei is happy. ”

"Second, don't lose your temper with me in the future, if you lose your temper very fiercely, I'll be afraid. And, moreover, you must know that in the face of love, we are equal, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. Love is just the true love of two men and women. ”

Fulin nodded, it sounded fresh, but he agreed. Fu Lin is different from ordinary emperors, so Xiao Meng was able to be so presumptuous. This is Xiaomeng's luck.

"Third, this third, it's too difficult for you, so let's not talk about it." Xiaomeng frowned, so he made a fuss.

"You say, you say, I can do it."

"Okay, you don't have any jokes. The concubines did not allow the emperor to find other concubines to spend the night. What do you think? Regret agreeing so quickly, right? ”

"Hehe, I promise. What's so hard about that? "As rumored, as long as she asks, Shunzhi will be more dedicated than any emperor in history. Xiaomeng smiled with satisfaction. This smile, like a peach blossom blooming, is extremely delicate: "Slowly." There is also the fourth, if this fourth is said, the emperor must be very angry. ”

"Oh, concubine, let's hear it."

Xiaomeng deliberately respectfully and humbly requested: "Please don't be angry about this matter, and listen to the concubine first." The concubine thought that the concubine was actually very pitiful. In fact, we are also responsible for that incident, Concubine Taigui is just a mother, and she is not wrong. Her son is gone at such a young age, she can't bear this blow, and her spirit is about to collapse. Please take pity on her current situation, you go and talk to the Queen Mother, and let her send someone to take care of the concubine, is it okay? Even if it is, we can make up for the mistakes we have made and accumulate virtues? ”

Fu Lin was silent, and there was no expression on his handsome face. Xiaomeng also waited quietly, she knew that she couldn't say too much, everything that should be said was enough. The Son of Heaven is very smart, he will think about it himself.

Finally, Fu Lin finally nodded. He sighed, "Then, I ask you to promise one thing as well. ”

Xiaomeng raised her little face and listened intently. "Please treat yourself well in the future, cherish yourself, don't move around at will, don't go to Ningshou Palace to help people do things, and don't vomit blood again. You just need to eat well, sleep well, and recuperate. Promised? ”

"Well, definitely, definitely." Xiaomeng is full of promises. In fact, this time the vomiting of blood was mainly heart disease, and I ate it out of jealousy. Now the knot in my heart has been resolved, and most of the illness has disappeared. It's just that you still need to take the medicine for cold and wind control.

At dinner the next day, Fulin drove to Chengqian Palace, saw a table of light food, and said happily: "Concubine Ai has always been simple, but it is not like this. Xiaomeng smiled, she was not Concubine Dong E, she was always so bitter about herself, but she didn't have any taste because of a cold, so she was lighter.

Fulin instructed Xia He to serve him a bowl of porridge for him and accompany Xiaomeng to finish dinner. Then he took Xiaomeng's hand and entered, "Look, concubine." He opened a brocade box he had brought with him. Suddenly, the dormitory was as bright as day, and the crystal clear ball emitted a faint dazzling light.

"What is this?"

"This is the pearl of the night, I don't recognize it. The one I gave you last time was smaller, and you put it on your men's hat. Forgot? But this one is big, and it's hard to find such a big one. This is what I prepared for my concubine, so that I could give it to the emperor as a birthday gift. It will be the Queen Mother's birthday in two days, and recently the concubine has been in poor health, and I think that the concubine should have forgotten about it a long time ago, and I am afraid that she will embarrass you again, so I have to prepare it for you. ”

"Emperor Xie, everything is well thought out for the concubines." Xiaomeng is sincerely grateful. In fact, Concubine Dong E is really happy to get the true feelings of such an excellent boy. It's a pity that there are only two short years left for such true love.

After that, the imperial concubine played checkers again, but nowadays, they often play two-color checkers by themselves, and sometimes, they also join in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and six people play together. At the insistence of Fu Lin this night, I fell asleep on the second watch. Xiaomeng is still too early.

In the past two days, for the Queen Mother's birthday, Xiaomeng has been quietly preparing. What's the point of just giving a night pearl, it's not fun at all.

The night before the birthday banquet began, Xiaomeng found some excuses to prevent the emperor from coming to Chengqian's palace to spend the night. Then he took the ten palace maids and eunuchs of the Chengqian Palace to the imperial dining room. All the ingredients prepared by the head of the imperial dining room were all ready, Xiao Meng didn't forget to give him a big ingot, and he learned from TV to buy people's hearts in the palace, sure enough, the old manager smiled. Without further ado, Xiaomeng began to instruct her palace maids and eunuchs to do it together, and they were busy turning on their backs and tossing for a whole night.

The queen mother's birthday banquet was really lively, and the harem concubines and civil and military officials all carefully prepared gifts to congratulate her birthday. Generally, after the queen mother accepts everyone's birthday greetings and gifts at the banquet, and watches the song and dance, she will move to the imperial garden with the emperor and his concubines to watch the play.

The banquet was too lively, and the dishes of the banquet were also very rich: Baishou peach, crane abalone, jade palm offering longevity, longevity dragon beard noodles, phoenix opera peony, phoenix birth, Yipin official swallow, braised fish bones, hundred birds returning to the nest, etc., Xiaomeng was dumbfounded, so many delicious things, those prepared by themselves are really not suitable for offering treasures at this time, so they have to present the night pearl first, and the toast will stop.

After nightfall, the queen mother, the emperor and the concubines moved to the imperial garden, and sang on the stage for a long time, and the moon was in the sky. Xiaomeng glanced at Xia He, and Xia He comprehended and went down to prepare.

Xiaomeng bent his knees and said to the Queen Mother: "Huang Eniang, last night the concubine made a birthday cake for Huang Eniang, which can be used as a supper, please taste it." ”

"Oh!? Birthday cake, hehe, this mourner has never heard of it. The Queen Mother smiled.

"Erchen hasn't seen it either, it's still made by Concubine Ai herself, so I want to see it, and I'll present it quickly." Fulin was also interested.

"Wow." Little dreams should be inherited. With a slap of his hand, I saw Chun Xing holding a 12-inch double-layered birthday cake, followed by Xia He, Qiu Ju, Dong Mei and so on in the Chengqian Palace behind Chun Xing, all holding huge wine jugs, wine cups, juice and cake cutting and eating utensils.

The 12-inch double-tiered birthday cake was placed in front of the Queen Mother, attracting the eyes of the two and the concubines. - I've never seen such a novel food.

"What is this made of? So beautiful. The Queen Mother was amazed.

"It's made of flour, eggs, cream, sugar, and so on. On one side is ice cream cream, inside is cake, on top of which are assorted fruits, and on top are flowers made of cream. And these words, 'Happy birthday to the Queen Mother!' Chitose Chitose Chitose! These words are all written in cream, so you can eat them too. In our hometown, everyone eats this kind of birthday cake when they celebrate their birthday. It represents sweetness, peace, and reunion. ”

Xiaomeng explained with a smile that she was very happy when she saw the emotion in the eyes of the Queen Mother and the smile of the emperor's approval.

"How do you eat it? Such a beautiful mourner is reluctant to eat. ”

"Queen Mother, you still have to make a wish, you can only eat it after making a birthday wish."

"Yo, I still have to make a wish."

"Hmm." Xiaomeng nodded, and together with Xia He, he lit five colored candles and inserted them on the cake. At this point, the cake is even more beautiful. The crowd was amazed.

Xiaomeng smiled: "The number of candles represents the number of years, and the concubines use five as representatives, you don't have to be afraid of candle tears dripping on the cake, because candle tears can also be eaten." Okay, now we're going to sing Happy Birthday. Spring apricots, summer lotus, autumn chrysanthemums, winter plums, everyone sings together, ready to sing. ”

"I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, I wish you a happy birthday." Everyone gathered around the birthday cake and sang over and over again. The happy melody and lyrics are extremely simple and infectious, and when they were heard the second time, the emperor and the concubines couldn't help but sing along. The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang closed her mouth happily.

"Alright. Huang Eniang, please put your hands together and make a wish. It is said that the wish you made on your birthday will definitely come true. Xiaomeng folded his hands and closed his eyes and demonstrated. The Queen Mother also took her wish seriously.

"What wish did the emperor make?" Fu Lin asked with a smile.

"Confidentiality." The Queen Mother put her finger to her lips and said mysteriously, and everyone laughed.

Xiaomeng said again: "Please blow out the candle from the emperor." The Queen Mother did so.

"Okay, please ask the emperor to cut the cake herself and share it for everyone to taste." Xiaomeng handed the cutter to the Queen Mother, and was busy distributing small trays.

The queen mother and the emperor nodded frequently after tasting it, and the concubines also praised each other. "It's delicious." "It's delicious."

Xiaomeng smiled, at this moment, how grateful she was to Mother Xiangqin's teachings on weekdays. Occasionally I turned around and saw a pair of amazingly beautiful but frightening eyes staring at her, a sneering smile rippled on her lips, she didn't eat the cake, just looked at it all coldly, that was - Concubine Jing, Xiaomeng couldn't help but shudder.

She hurriedly turned around, her hand caressing her frightened heart, a little out of breath. Suddenly, I saw Fu Lin's fiery gaze projecting towards him, and that gaze was full of praise and comfort. Undoubtedly, these familiar starry eyes are like a cluster of flames in a cold night, which can always bring her warmth.

Little Dream settled down and diligently poured champagne for everyone, one for each person. The Queen Mother took a sip and asked, "Is this wine?" Why is it so delicious? Like fruit juice. ”

Xiaomeng smiled: "Of course this is wine, this wine is called champagne, in our hometown, oh, the hometown of my Han mother, they usually drink this wine when they celebrate festivals or celebrate happy events." However, don't look at this kind of wine as delicious, you must not drink too much, because it has strong stamina, and if you drink more, you will definitely get drunk, so it is recommended to drink only one or two glasses. In addition, the concubine also prepared freshly squeezed juice for everyone, which can be paired with a sweet birthday cake. And the juice can also be beautified, and the queen and the sisters can drink as much as they want. ”

"Good. I propose to raise a glass and drink champagne together, and toast the emperor's birthday together. "Fulin toasts first.

Everyone raised their glasses together and said: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother for being a thousand years old." ”

Finish drinking. Fulin motioned for Xiaomeng to sit beside him. On his left is the Empress Han, and the seat on the right naturally belongs to her imperial concubine. The concubines sat on both sides. Fulin handed her a small piece of cake. Xiaomeng immediately picked up a finger of cream and rubbed it on the tip of his nose and laughed.

Fu Lin was stunned for a moment, then understood, and immediately fought back with a smile, and also picked a piece of cream and smeared it on the tip of her nose. Xiaomeng immediately applied it to his forehead again, and Fu Lin fought back. Everyone was eating cake and watching the play, and suddenly heard them flirting and scolding, and when they turned their heads to look, they suddenly saw that both of them had creamy faces and big flower faces, and they couldn't help but be in an uproar.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was coaxed into a happy mood by a birthday cake today, and she didn't reprimand herself, just smiled, shook her head, and went to watch the play again. Until late at night, everyone dispersed.

The emperor went to the Chengqian Palace. However, as soon as he entered the dormitory, Fu Lin reversed his attitude of approving all night, and was full of accusations and criticism.

"How many times have I said that your body is already very weak, and this illness is not completely cured, how can you go to the imperial dining room to do those things without sleep? I know your filial piety to the emperor's mother, but don't you have a night pearl? Although the things you have prepared are very novel and good, even I have never heard of them. But I'd rather not want you to please the emperor like this, as long as you give me a good rest and a healthy concubine, do you understand? Although he understood that Fulin's starting point was still distressing her, he showed royal majesty with a handsome face and a stern expression, which made Xiaomeng a little scared.

"In the future, if I see you doing the manual work that only these minions do, or run away to serve others in private, even if I don't punish you, I will beat Xia He to death." Fu Lin knew that Xia He and Concubine Dong E were sisters, so he said this, and sure enough, when he saw Xia He's frightened face, although Concubine Dong E still looked stubborn and pouted unconvinced, she was silent and didn't dare to pout.

As an emperor, there is grace and grace, and only by using both grace and power can the courtiers be suppressed and the world return to the heart. So after Fulin finished playing "Wei", he replaced it with "En". He laughed secretly, stepped forward and hugged Xiaomeng and said softly: "Ai Concubine, I am angry because I feel sorry for you." If you also feel sorry for me, take care of my phoenix body, okay? Doesn't Concubine Ai want to grow old with me for a long time? ”

"I don't want to." She got angry and said deliberately.

This long live lord still hasn't changed, he loses his temper when he wants to, and his temper always comes inexplicably, he is so happy and loving one second, and he can turn his face ruthlessly the next second. No matter what his intentions were, she just didn't like him to lose his temper at every turn.

Seeing that she didn't react, Fu Lin stopped his movements and asked her: "You say, do you want to grow old with me for a long time?" Xiaomeng said stubbornly: "I don't want to." Fu Lin asked again: "Do you want to grow old with me for a long time?" "I don't want to." Deliberate, stubborn, playful.

In this world, everything can be achieved without "thinking".
