Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day to enter the palace.

The sky was fluttering with snow, and it was still dawn.

In the heavy snowfall, Meng Xilan said goodbye to her family one by one.

"Dad, after my daughter is gone, please don't work too hard, everything must be focused on your body." I wanted to keep calm all the time, but my tone couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Lan'er......" Mrs. Meng wet her clothes with tears, holding her hand, unwilling to let go, just wanting to look at her more and touch her.

Stepmother Feng and eldest sister-in-law Qiao Huiyun also burst into tears, and the eldest brother Meng Xizhao was reluctant and said, "Lan'er, don't worry, your second brother will be waiting for you outside the palace gate." ”

Meng Xilan looked at her brother and smiled slightly: "In the future, it will be up to my brother to take care of my grandmother and father on my behalf." ”

Meng Xizhao's eyes were slightly condensed, and she nodded seriously, reassuring her.

He personally opened the sedan curtain, helped his sister in and sat down, and Zhuqing Zhulu also followed him into the carriage.

The wheels turned, Meng Xilan beckoned, her eyes were full of tears, and in addition to the bitterness of parting, there was also resolute firmness in her heart.

This time she entered the palace, and if she didn't succeed, she would become a benevolent, and she couldn't make a mistake again.

After the long street, Meng Xilan lifted a corner of the curtain, and from a distance, she could see the palace gate slowly opening, and the Praetorian Guards on both sides were waiting for them.

The Imperial Palace, a place that everyone in the world dreams of. But in Meng Xilan's heart, this is the darkest, cruelest, and dirtiest place in the world.

The road was slippery on a snowy day, and several little eunuchs outside the palace gate were sweeping the snow on the bluestone road, and when they saw the palace gate slowly opening, they hurriedly stopped their work and stood with their heads down.

A young man in a gray coat walked out slowly, he was not very old, his body was straight, and his face was noble, but he was not like the prince in the palace, and he was only followed by an entourage.

Looking from a distance, Meng Xilan recognized who that person was, and with the hidden joy in her heart, she hurriedly got out of the car and called, "Second brother." ”

Meng Xiran also hurriedly ran up, stretched out his hand to help her, and said, "What are you anxious about?" Fall carefully. ”

Meng Xilan smiled and clasped the hand of her second brother Meng Xiran, looking at his gentle and bright eyes, her heart was slightly sour.

Meng Xiran saw that her sister seemed to have sadness on her face, so she only said: "I haven't seen her for a few months, and my sister seems to have grown taller again." After speaking, he tightened her hand: "Sister, don't worry, although this palace is not as comfortable as at home, it is also a good place for people to gain knowledge." Moreover, with me, the second brother won't make you feel lonely. ”

Meng Xilan nodded heavily.

"There are many rules in the palace, and the first day is the hardest. The Queen Mother, the Empress, and Concubine Ning and Concubine Jing have to go to everything they should go. ”

Meng Xilan nodded, she was not afraid of hard work, but she was afraid that she would not have a chance to show her face.

As he spoke, a white-faced and beardless steward eunuch walked over unhurriedly with two little eunuchs and a blue-topped sedan chair.

Meng Xilan still had a little impression of them, the person who was the leader was Gonggong Lu, who was the person next to the Queen Mother.

"The miscellaneous family has seen Meng Gongzi and Meng Girl."

Meng Xilan was slightly blessed, and replied to him: "Greetings to my father-in-law." After speaking, he quickly took a purse and handed it over, "I am new to the school, be careful, and invite my father-in-law to have tea." ”

Gonggong Lu accepted her salute with a smile, "Please get the girl in the sedan chair, and the miscellaneous family will take you to see the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Grandpa Xie."

Meng Xiran sent her sister to the sedan chair, and then whispered: "I'm in the East Fourth Institute, if there's anything going on, just let someone pass on the word." ”

Gonggong Lu looked at the reluctant appearance of their brother and sister, and said with a smile: "Son, relax and go to the imperial study to accompany the Fourth Highness to work hard." I'll leave it to the miscellaneous family here, and I will never wronged the girl. ”

Meng Xiran saluted Gonggong Lu and politely said "There is labor". followed, standing in place, watching the sedan chair go away, and after a while, I saw Meng Xilan come out, wave at him, and smile with crooked eyebrows.

The sedan chair walked along the bluestone brick palace road in the direction of Cining Palace, and the road it walked did not seem to be the one in memory.

As he walked, there was a noise, and the sedan chair suddenly stopped halfway.

Father-in-law Lu said through the sedan curtain, "Girl, wait a moment." ”

Meng Xilan lifted the corner of the curtain to see what was happening outside.

It turned out that a group of little eunuchs who were plowing the snow were chasing an unidentified little boy.

Meng Xilan couldn't see the child's face clearly, and only heard someone call him "little madman".

The forbidden place of the palace, how can there be a madman? Moreover, he is still a running child.

Meng Xilan observed quietly, searching her mind for memories about this.

As soon as Gonggong Lu appeared, the group of little eunuchs hurriedly retreated to the side and stood with their hands down. The boy was about to run, but he slipped on the snow, and the eunuchs immediately surrounded him and pinned him to the ground.

Although the boy looked thin and thin, he had no small strength, and it took three or five men to subdue him.

Gonggong Lu walked over slowly, spat at him, and directly stepped on his head with his foot, "What a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die, you dare to sneak out!" Today, the miscellaneous family has to teach you the rules well. With that, he picked up a broom and struck him on the head and in the face.

The boy covered his beaten face and didn't say a word, and his brown eyes were suddenly full of anger and hatred, and they were very hideous.

Meng Xilan frowned, continued to think, and ...... She noticed his distinctive brown eyes!

Changqing Palace...... Lunatic...... Brown......

Soon, Meng Xilan thought of who he was.

He is the ninth son of the current emperor, the ninth prince Zhou Youchen!

Because his biological mother was Turkic, his eyes were brown.

In her previous life, Meng Xilan had heard a little about him, but she didn't expect that those rumors were true. should have been a prince with a noble status, but at this moment, he was trampled under the feet of a minion, so humiliated!

A louder slap sounded on the palace road.

Meng Xilan knew that she shouldn't be nosy, but she still couldn't help but get off the sedan chair and said, "Father-in-law, the hour waits for no one, I bother you to continue to lead the way, I want to go to the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess to say goodbye as soon as possible." ”

When Gonggong Lu heard this, he hurriedly changed his smile and said, "Don't worry, girl, we won't be too late." After saying that, he turned around and slapped him a few times.

It's really ruthless and vicious.

Meng Xilan glanced at Zhou Youchen again, he was rudely dragged up and pushed forward, his ears and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, shocking.

She looked at Zhou Youchen, staring at the face that was hideous because of anger, obviously she was still a child, but her eyes were so sharp that it made people's hearts palpitate. You can see that he hates everyone here.

Meng Xilan's heart was drumming.

In his previous life, he hadn't met Zhou Youchen, but why would he ...... now? Was it just a simple accident?
