The New Year is approaching, the weather is getting colder, the cold plums are blooming in the ice and snow, and the palace maids and eunuchs are also preparing for the New Year, and the lights are everywhere, ^

Zi Ling suddenly became inexplicably sad, watching people coming and going, listening to people laughing and making trouble, this family reunion is a good day, but he is alone in the long river of history, with nothing to rely on and nothing to rely on.

Fortunately, Yu'er was by her side. This well-behaved and beautiful little girl has been by Ziling's side for more than two months, although she is not Ziling's biological daughter, but it also comforts Ziling's loneliness and makes her feel at ease. Yes, in this deep palace, Yu'er is her relative, and they can rely on each other.

She leaned against the window and read, looking up at Yu'er from time to time, and she was having fun with the palace ladies in the courtyard.

Yunu brought a pot of fine bergamot tea and gently put the tea on the table: "Miss, Xiaowei from Concubine De's side is here and says she wants to see you." ”

"Xiaowei? Isn't she supposed to serve Concubine De in the Cold Moon Palace? Zi Ling put down the scroll in his hand and asked with a frown.

"Yes, she said that Concubine De asked her to deliver a letter."

Perhaps, is Concubine De Niangniang having something to say to Xinyu? After all, they are mother and daughter, and blood is thicker than water. Zi Ling ordered Xiaowei to be brought into the study.

Xiaowei lowered her head, respectfully took out a letter from her bosom, and said, "This is what Concubine De Niangniang instructed the slave maid to hand over to the concubine Niangniang." Concubine De Niangniang asked the slave maid to greet you for her, saying that she had worked hard for her mother, and hoped that Niangniang would take good care of Princess Xinyu. ”

Zi Ling opened the letter and took out the thin paper with pink light flowers, few numbers, and beautiful handwriting:

Is Yu'er safe? The past is unbearable. The cold night is long, the cold moon is miserable, just ask for a glass of poisonous wine. Regret and hatred, for a long time! There is no resentment in life, but I hope that I will make up for it. Wangjun took pity on my flesh and blood parting, released the previous suspicions, and met with Huaiyu, so that my mother and daughter could reunite. Thank you for your kindness, and then kowtow.

There is deep remorse between the lines, and the thoughts of Yu'er are on the page before, which is touching. Zi Ling couldn't help but cry when he read it.

Yes, Concubine De is Yu'er's biological mother after all, even if thousands of miles apart can't stop the connected bloodline, although the mother's love has long been distorted by her, it is real and deep. Now, she is suffering from remorse in the cold palace, and she is full of remorse! Otherwise, how could she write such a tearful letter?

Holding back the tears rolling in her eyes, Zi Ling asked Xiao Wei, "Did Concubine De Niangniang say anything else?" ”

"Niangniang hopes that you ......^Niangniang misses the princess......" Xiaowei couldn't help choking up and her eyes reddened.

Zi Ling was silent, quietly paced to the desk, studied ink and picked up a pen, and filled in a song "Golden Wisp Song":

Jun also regretted it for a long time, looking forward to the years, releasing his previous suspicions and becoming friends with you. Don't be sad when you add clothes and food, and don't make the phoenix body emaciated. It also reduces, the sorrow of lovesickness. In this life, I don't want to live in this life, ask life, is it bleak here? Will be the heart, for the king.

The little things are ugly, and when spring comes, the frost melts, and the willows are green. From now on, tears must be shed less, and the soul will be kept together. I hope to get it, Heqing Life. He met quietly with jade and left his regret and lovesickness behind. When we see each other, we look forward to looking back. ”（1）

After finishing the book, he sealed the letterhead and asked Xiaowei to send it to the Cold Moon Palace, and also asked Xiaoru to wrap some Tieguanyinhe, bergamot tea and some pastries to send to Concubine De.

In the courtyard, Xinyu's crisp laughter came from afar......

The next day, in the afternoon, the winter sun shone on the snow, the sky and the earth were shining, and Ziling's study was full of brilliance. It was snowmelt and the air was moist, but the weather was colder than yesterday.

After lunch, Zi Ling put a peach-colored cloak on Yu'er, let Yunu hold her, and the three of them went to Cold Moon Palace.

When I arrived at the Ningxue Hall where Concubine De lived, I saw that the road was covered with snow, and the branches of the trees were also crushed by the thick snow. Concubine De sat in the corridor doing needlework while basking in the sun, and when she saw Ziling coming in with Xinyu, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand, regardless of the depth of the snow, and ran over to hug Yu'er.

It can be seen that after not seeing her mother for a long time, Yu'er is also happy, she happily hugged her mother and said, "Mother, Yu'er misses you so much." However, there was still a hint of fear in her eyes.

Concubine De carried Yu'er to the corridor, and looked back to see Ziling walking the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and she said with a little apology: "This cold palace is not as good as the outside." The snow that filled the courtyard was also uncleaned. There are not many people, and now it is not as good as before, and I can't even call the palace maids and eunuchs here. ”

Yunu wiped the snow off the upper of Zi Ling's shoes and untied her cloak.

Concubine De asked the palace ladies to bring stools and put them in the corridor, and tea and pastries were added to the table.

Concubine De said: "This cold palace is not as good as the outside. Even the charcoal has been reduced, so we have to save it. The sun is so warm, it's better to bask in the sun to keep warm, and I often work in this corridor. ”

It seems that she does not shy away from her situation at this time, and always says: "This cold palace...... This cold palace ......" But Ziling could hear the bitterness and bitterness in her words.

She had lost a lot of weight and was much haggard. It can be seen that she has suffered a lot in this. After all, she is the niece of the Queen Mother, and with the care of the Queen Mother, the palace maids and eunuchs don't dare to embarrass her, and the food and accommodation are not too bad, but she is still so thin, is it because she is mentally tormented? It can be seen that she really knows her mistakes and regrets it?

Thinking about it, in the cold palace, even the queen mother's niece had a hard time, it can be seen that if ordinary concubines were beaten into the cold palace, that life would be even more unbearable.

Cold Moon Palace, what a cold and affectionate name. Zi Ling couldn't help but shudder, perhaps because of a cold wind blowing through ......

As soon as she sat down, Yu'er snuggled up to Zi Ling and ate the osmanthus cake in Zi Ling's hand. Concubine De sat opposite, seeing this warm scene, her eyes were a little lonely.

Concubine De opened her mouth and said: "Yu'er and my sister are so close, it can be seen that my sister really cares for her." Although I am an incompetent mother, Yu'er is a piece of flesh and bone that fell from my body after all, and I am finally relieved to hand over Yu'er to my sister. I hope my sister will take care of Yu'er, this child has a mother like me, it's really pitiful, I'm really sorry for her......" Before she finished speaking, Concubine De hid her face and sobbed.

Yu'er was eating osmanthus cake, and when she saw her mother crying, she was stunned for a moment, and also cried: "Yu'er will be well-behaved, don't cry mother, don't beat Yu'er...... Yu'er will be obedient......"

Hearing Yu'er's cry, Concubine De cried even more sadly.

Ziling hurriedly picked up Yu'er and coaxed her: "Yu'er is good, the mother doesn't cry, the mother loves Yu'er the most, how can she beat Yu'er...... Yu'er didn't cry...... "Finally stopped Yu'er's tears, Ziling asked Yunu to take Yu'er to play in the west room.

Concubine De's red and swollen eyes said, "It's really rude, it made my sister laugh." Her temples were slightly scattered, and her green sleeves were mottled with tears, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

This poor woman, she only focuses on her husband and children all her life, and the so-called "husband" has to be shared with many women! Pushing others and himself, Zi Ling can't help but feel self-pity, even if he is now deeply favored, but the man is like a wandering floating cloud, fickle and elusive, who knows when he will be disgusted with her? Duo says:

"The hibiscus flower of the past, the broken intestine grass today. How long can Israel get good for others? ”（2）

Xu Hui also instructed Wu Meiniang back then: "Those who are talented are long, and those who are short are short." "That being said, being pregnant is like being pregnant, and it can only be seen after a long time. But how much time is a man willing to spend getting to know a woman? If you want to be full of talent, you have to be enough to be "the king", it is simply difficult to Shu Dao!

Therefore, for women, it is really "no talent is virtue", and it is not as practical and direct as the world's appearance - directly attract men, directly exchange for favor, and directly win benefits for yourself!

Looking at Concubine De's ordinary face as ordinary as herself, Ziling seemed to understand her difficulties and suffering.

After washing her face and coming back, Concubine De's spirit improved slightly, and she sat and gossiped with Ziling. Although they are not familiar with each other, they have endless things to say about Yu'er's life and interesting things.

Before you know it, it's Shen Shi. (3) The warm day has receded the heat, and the wind has become colder. Ziling took Yu'er and prepared to leave, but Concubine De was very reluctant.

At the gate of the Cold Moon Palace, Concubine De thanked Ziling: "Thank you sister for bringing Yu'er to see me, I hope my sister can come often in the future." ”

"If there is time, it will come often."

"Also, sister, don't let the emperor know that you brought Xinyu to Cold Moon Palace. I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry, it's not good to affect you and Yu'er. ”

"Ziling is clear, I hope my sister is relieved."

After that, Ziling quietly took Xinyu to see Concubine De several times. Meng Hongyu didn't seem to know about this, or pretended not to know. After the Queen Mother found out, she also pretended not to know, and she was better for Ziling than before.
