"Uh......h Mother, Mother ...... "A thin child was standing guard inside the closed door, looking expectantly out of the pane, looking for his familiar figure.

"Ignorant wild child, is that your mother? Your mother is the noble queen mother, and you can only call her 'Li' as a vulgar. Xu was disturbed by his crying, and Mama Lin, the head of this cold palace, scolded impatiently.

"Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of a mouse loves to make holes, and this Li Kunlun's son is also like her, looking cowering and lowly."

The other palace people were also talking about it.

Only the child's brother, a handsome boy who was not much fatter than him, stepped forward, hugged his younger brother comfortingly, and gently persuaded: "Dog, mother has only been summoned by His Majesty to bed, and will be back soon...... It's a good thing for mothers......"

But the weeping child did not listen, and said unhappily: "No, no, every time Your Majesty bullies her mother and dislikes her for being ugly, and her mother will cry every time she comes back......

Even a small child is very sensitive to his mother's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, Sima Yao naturally knows that what his younger brother said is right, every time he goes to bed and returns, Li Lingrong has no happy expression at all, just hides his face and cries bitterly.

Li Lingrong, known as "Li Kunlun", is the ugliest textile maid in the palace, she is tall and has a black face, which is not a big deal in modern times. However, in the aesthetics of the time, petite and fair-skinned women were generally considered to be beautiful, so almost no men would favor women with such appearance.

And coincidentally, because Sima Yu's two sons-in-law and three concubines died, and there were no concubines in the harem who had no heirs, so Sima Yu invited a very famous Taoist priest named Xu Mai to enter the palace to help see which woman had the appearance of a suitable man, and this person fell in love with Li Lingrong at a glance among the many concubines and palace maids.

When Sima Yu saw it, although he was very reckless in his heart, he still reluctantly shared sex with Li Lingrong for the sake of his heir. Sure enough, this Kunlun maid lived up to expectations and gave birth to two princes in a row, so although Sima Yu didn't like her very much, he still called her to have sex regularly, and comforted herself that she was just a sow with cubs on her head.

The future emperor, the nine-year-old Sima Yao, like his younger brother, the seven-year-old Sima Daozi, was kept in the most cold and uninhabited palace in this palace at this time, and he didn't even know his name on the royal family tree, but Li Lingrong gave the two of them milk names according to the customs of the countryside, one called a cat and the other a dog.

Sima Daozi raised his little face full of tears, and asked his brother expectantly: "Brother, are the two of us really His Majesty's sons?" Why does he never come to visit us? Others look down on us? Isn't the emperor the most honorable person in the world? ”

This question was difficult for a nine-year-old child to answer, so Sima Yao could only turn his face to the side in embarrassment and said lightly: "Maybe they forgot......"

Can this kind of thing be forgotten? The young dog looked up at his brother stupidly, unsure if he had misheard or if he thought he was a fool.

Sima Yao, who is called "cat", has already fallen into deep thought, this palace is very cold, and winter is coming, my mother's health has not been good, if this year's charcoal fire is still the same as in previous years, if it is not sent for a long time, it is inevitable that my mother will suffer from wind and cold again.

At this moment the dog jumped up for joy, and barked one after another: "Mother, mother! ”

Looking from afar, sure enough, at the end of the distant palace road, there was a familiar figure, which was his mother.

From such a distance, you can see that your brother is really ...... Well, the eyes are good.

Although the cat was also very happy in his heart, he was very introverted and vigilant by nature, and he didn't want to fall on the tongue of others, so he gently held his brother's hand and said, "Shhh ”

The dog nodded as if he didn't understand, and sure enough, he saw that Mama Lin, who was serving Li Lingrong in the hall, had a bad face, and was looking at herself with a frown, and hurriedly silenced.

Li Lingrong walked outside the door, then politely tapped the door gently, and called: "Mama Lin, please open the door for me, I'm back." ”

One is the emperor's woman, the other is the grandmother who sprinkled the sweep, and Li Lingrong actually called her "you", which shows how helpless the mother and son in this palace are.

Mama Lin opened the door for her without even saying a word of greeting, and said, "The bath bucket and hot water are ready, you go and wash it, the water should be cold in a while." ”

When the water is cold, isn't it because you are a slave and maid who is not good at being an errand?

However, Li Lingrong didn't dare to argue with her, so he hurriedly answered "yes", hugged the two children, kissed each other, and asked, "Are you well-behaved at home?" ”

The dog immediately coquettishly said: "The dog is the most well-behaved, and he has been waiting for his mother at the door." ”

The cat just scratched its head, looking shy.

Li Lingrong was unwell, but he still smiled and said: "Your Majesty said that I miss you very much, and I specially rewarded you with fruits to eat, you can take it and eat it, the cat is the elder brother, let the younger brother eat more." ”

The cat nodded, but the dog's face was full of crying, and he picked up the box of fruits and couldn't wait to open it, and was immediately fascinated by the intoxicating fragrance, and looked at it stupidly, looking reluctant to eat.

Li Lingrong saw that the two of them were fine, so he relieved himself and entered the simple bathroom.

Gou Erwu hugged the box of fruits and said happily: "Brother, it turns out that Your Majesty is still thinking about us." ”

You stupid boy, you will believe your mother's words, if Your Majesty really misses us, he would have come to see us in person, and no matter how bad it is, he will call the two of us to see each other.

I'm afraid that His Majesty didn't mention the two of us at all, and it was just my mother who came back desperately to ask for a pastry.

The cat understood in her heart, but she didn't want to shatter her brother's beautiful fantasies, so she just smiled and let him eat it while it was hot.

The dog saw that Mama Lin was nowhere to be seen, but the door that was usually closed was open, so he took the cat's hand and said, "Brother, let's go to the garden to eat, I haven't gone out to play for a long time." ”

The cat is also fascinated to look at the small courtyard with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, this remote courtyard has a tall osmanthus tree, the fragrance is very beautiful, people feel happy.

He looked at his younger brother's yearning eyes, and said softly: "Let's go, let's go out secretly for a while, and we'll be back soon." ”

The two were afraid of alarming Mama Lin, so they tiptoed out one after the other.

The dog hugged the fruit tightly, lest it fall off, and the two walked to the osmanthus tree, and the dog stared at the golden flower and asked, "Brother, what kind of tree is this?" Why does it smell so good? It's more delicious than my snacks. ”

The cat also looked at the osmanthus tree with a happy face and said, "This is called osmanthus, also called Muxi." ”

The dog barked happily: "The wooden rhino cake that Sister Chen brought us last time was made of this fragrant flower?" ”

Mao'er nodded, thinking of the gentle and obedient woman, I was afraid that in the palace, the only palace person who didn't mind the embarrassing identity of the two of them and was willing to treat the two of them well was this Sister Chen. She works as an errand in the dining room, often brings snacks for her brothers, and she is beautiful, even Li Lingrong likes her very much.

The dog put aside the box that had been in his arms for a long time, and tried to stand on tiptoe to pluck the flowers from the tree.

The cat smiled: "What is my brother going to pick this flower for?" If you like, there are many fallen tweed on the ground, and it is also possible to take them back and make a sachet for your mother. ”

The dog said seriously: "I'm going to pick it and give it to Sister Chen, thank her for making so many delicious things for us." ”

The cat thought for a while, and felt that it was very reasonable, so she untied the veil in her arms, spread it out, and said, "Brother, you are under the tree, and if I climb up and shake the branches, the flowers will fall down by themselves, and will not it be faster than you to summarize?" ”

The dog said happily: "Okay, okay, brother, you are so smart." ”

The cat climbed up, and sure enough, the osmanthus on the branch fell one after another, and fell into the hands of the young child holding the handkerchief, and at this time there was a fragrant breeze faintly, and this picture was very interesting.

The two of them had a good time, but they didn't notice that there was a group of palace people coming in the distance, led by a beautiful beauty like a hibiscus, her body was soft, her skin was fair, and there was a faint anger between her delicate eyebrows, which was the most favored concubine Xu Shuyi today.

Everyone slowly approached, and Xu Shuyi saw that two poorly dressed children were playing under the best-growing osmanthus tree in this palace, and couldn't help frowning, and glanced at her personal female official, Lady Wang.

The princess stepped forward and asked, "You two children, which palace are you?" How dare you play in the Imperial Garden? ”

The cat lying on the tree was startled and narrowly fell off the tree.

Seeing that there were many people coming, how could he have seen such a big pomp, and he couldn't help but weakly replied: "Slave maid, named Gou'er......"

When all the female officials heard his vulgar name, they couldn't help but laugh together, and the female official Wang was kind, so she said to him kindly: "We Xu Shuyi want to enjoy the flowers here, you two should retreat quickly." ”

The cat hurriedly slid down from the tree, pulled his younger brother and saluted the female officials, and was about to leave with his younger brother.

The dog never forgot his box of fruits, and quickly shook off his brother's hand and picked up the box of fruits before leaving.

Xu Shuyi had sharp eyes, and noticed that the box containing the fruit was not something that ordinary people could use, but a very delicate gold-painted box, so she asked out loud: "Slow, where did you get this box of fruit?" ”

The dog didn't know why, but proudly replied, "It was my father who gave it to me...... Well, my brother and I ate it. ”

There are only two people in the entire Jin court royal family who can be called "Father Emperor", that is, Sima Yao and Sima Daozi.

Xu Shuyi has been favored for a long time but has never been able to get pregnant, she heard that these two children are the emperor's sons, the biological son of the lowly maid Li Lingrong, she can't help but be angry from her heart, evil is born to the side of the gall, the more she looks at these two children, the more unpleasant it is.

She deliberately pretended not to believe it, and said to the princess: "This child stole food from nowhere, and he is so open-mouthed, according to the palace rules, how to punish him for taking the master's things privately?" ”

Lady Wang carefully observed the clothes of the two children, and found that although they were shabby, they were really princely clothes, and couldn't help but say softly to Xu Shuyi: "Niangniang, I'm afraid that these two children are really princes......

Xu Shuyi interrupted her words and ordered: "If you have no evidence, do you think that you can escape punishment by saying that you are the prince?" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, the cat hurriedly said: "Niangniang, we are really the sons of His Majesty, this matter is very important, how dare the two of us lie?" ”

Xu Shuyi said with a smile: "Since you are the prince, tell me, what is your name, will Your Majesty's son be called 'dog'er'?" ”

The cat had never heard others call her real name, so naturally she didn't know that she should be called Sima Yao, and he was choked by Xu Shuyi's words, and he immediately choked, unable to tell the difference.

But the dog said, "My brother's name is cat, and my mother said that we are kittens and puppies to feed." ”

These words are really vulgar, all the female officials laughed together, that is, some people were the same as the female officials before, thinking that these two children were really princes, and it was really hard to believe at this time, who would have thought that there were such two princes who did not know the number of etiquette in the Jin court, which was the most important etiquette?

As soon as Xu Shuyi smiled, she said to the female official Wang who was accompanying her: "Give me a palm." ”
