Two little guesses, childhood sweethearts. Now is the perfect time for them.

Zhulu watched Wuwu follow all the way to the study, and said to Xiao Chunzi, "Let's go in too." ”

The children are always happy when they see the dim sum.

Meng Qingyun was the only one who didn't like sweets, so he only took a cup of tea and drank it quietly.

Wuwu still likes to lean towards him, and he broke the snack in his hand, gave him half of it, and said, "Brother eat!" ”

Meng Qingyun took it in his hand, but he didn't eat it and said, "Lord Xie." ”

Koharuko served the prince with tea, but who knows, the prince didn't want to drink tea.

He walked to Meng Qingyun's side, looked at his hand and said, "Brother, does it hurt?" ”

Meng Qingyun smiled: "Your Highness, don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all." ”

Changsheng thought about it for a while, and then said seriously: "Brother, in the future, I will definitely read the book and endorse it well, and I will not let you be beaten again." ”

His eyes were sparkling, revealing a serious energy.

Meng Qingyun touched his head when he heard this, and said with a gentle smile: "Your Highness Xie." ”

In the evening, Meng Xiran sent the prince back to Cining Palace and reported to Meng Xilan the prince's academic work.

Meng Xilan was very happy to see the second brother and beckoned him to sit down for tea.

"I heard that the second brother's discipline of the prince has become more and more strict recently."

Meng Xiran got up and replied when she heard this: "Back to Niangniang, the minister is also thinking about the prince." The minister did not dare not be stern......"

Meng Xilan nodded with a smile: "This palace has no intention of blaming you, second brother, you don't have to be so nervous." When the elder brother was chosen, Hongu knew that the second elder brother would think about the prince wholeheartedly. ”

She beckoned him to sit down and speak: "Bengong just feels embarrassed for the second brother." You have always been the mildest of natures, but now you have to keep a straight face every day. ”

Meng Xiran lowered his head and smiled when he heard this: "Don't hide it from Niangniang, every time the minister sees the prince's cute appearance, he can't help but soften his heart." ”

Meng Xiran likes immortality from the bottom of his heart, not only because he is the prince, but most importantly, he is the son of his sister.

"Changsheng is not a coquettish child, but since he has a sister by his side, he has gradually begun to love coquettishness."

Meng Xiran picked up the tea bowl, took a sip lightly, and then said with a smile: "The prince's coquettish appearance is almost exactly the same as when Niangniang was a child. ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said softly: "Really? ”

In her memory, she was not a spoiled child.

Meng Xiran nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, and gestured to a height: "When Niangniang was a child, when she was so old, she was also a time to love to be coquettish. ”

Meng Xilan shook her head and smiled: "This palace is already terrible. ”

Meng Xiran raised her eyes to look at her, and said with a warm gaze: "The minister still remembers......"

No matter how many years have passed, he always remembers his sister's cute appearance when she was a child.

At that time, Meng Xilan was wearing a double bun, fair and pink, like a little doll carved from pink. She followed her eldest brother and him all day long, and she followed whatever they played, and she refused to admit defeat. By the way, Chu Jingchuan is also there, whenever he gets tired of playing, Chu Jingchuan and him always take turns carrying their sister home.

It's really a carefree teenager, amiable and cute.

Meng Xiran thought about it for a while, and his eyes were fixed.

"Brother......" Meng Xilan saw him stunned, and gently opened her mouth to call him.

Meng Xiran came back to his senses and lowered his head: "Weichen is rude." ”

"Brother, do you remember the past?"

To be honest, she envied her brother. I envy that he can still remember the past, and he can still immerse himself in the memories of the past, the corners of his mouth are twitched, and his face is smiling.

For Meng Xilan, her memories are like white paper splashed with thick ink, mottled and shocking.

When she was a child, she can remember very few.

Happy memories will make her relax her vigilance, and only painful memories can keep her awake at all times.

"Niangniang, if you have time in the future, go back to Meng's house and have a look." Meng Xiran pondered for a moment and suddenly proposed.

Family reunion, even if it's just a happy meal.

Meng Xilan's eyes were slightly downcast, and she nodded with a smile: "Of course, this palace is also very concerned about the people and things in the family. ”

Since her grandmother died, Meng Xilan has never been to Meng's house. The feeling of missing her relatives has not diminished in the slightest, but she is afraid of touching the scene.

……

On the fifth day of November, it snowed in the capital and the north wind was cold.

Zhou Youchen, who had been out of the palace for several months, finally returned to the capital.

Meng Xilan took all the concubines to Zhengyang Gate to wait for the emperor's return.

Wu Xue'er, who has been ill for several months, rarely showed her face, and she didn't look like she had changed, just a little thin.

As for Tong Yao, she was placed at the back of the team, and as far as she could see, she could only look at everyone's backs.

Meng Xilan held Changsheng in one hand and worry-free in the other, waiting quietly.

She was afraid that the children would blow a cold wind, so she gathered them under her mink coat.

Changsheng hugged the legs of the queen mother, and only showed a pair of eyes to look at the palace gate.

He misses his father very much, every day.

Zhou Youchen rode a horse, although he was dressed in casual clothes, he still looked extraordinary and heroic.

"Father!" Changsheng watched his father come on horseback, and immediately got out of his mother's mink fur and ran towards him.

Zhou Youchen saw it from a distance and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

He immediately rolled over and dismounted, walked to the platform, knelt on one knee, and picked up the panting Changsheng.

Changsheng was held high by him, and he laughed and screamed for a while.

"Father...... Father ......" Changsheng muttered, "My son misses you so much." ”

As he spoke, he took out the jade wrench that his father had given him, "This son has been carrying it with him. ”

Zhou Youchen smiled heartily when he heard this, and rubbed his little face with a slightly stubble chin.

Changsheng was tickled by him, and hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy: "Itchy...... It's so itchy......"

While the father and son were playing, Meng Xilan walked slowly, she looked at Zhou Youchen, who had not seen her for several months, and curtsied: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace, the emperor has worked hard all the way." ”

Zhou Youchen held Changsheng in one hand, helped her with the other, and gently brought her to him.

His face was a little tanned, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Lan'er, how are you doing?" Zhou Youchen ignored the others, but only looked at her alone.

"Everything is fine with the concubine." Meng Xilan replied with a smile.

Who knows, when Zhou Youchen heard this, he frowned slightly, and only said, "Really?" I'm not by your side, don't you want me? ”

Meng Xilan nodded lightly: "Of course the concubines miss the emperor, the concubines are the same as the crown prince, they miss the emperor every day." ”

When Zhou Youchen heard this, he hugged her waist and hugged her into his arms.

"You don't know how much I miss you......"

He said this with a deep sigh in his tone.

Meng Xilan meekly leaned into his arms and gently hugged him back.

The emperor, who had been looking forward to it day and night, finally returned, but in his eyes, he only had the queen mother alone, and he couldn't see anyone else at all......

Those concubines who came in costume could only leave unwillingly after greeting them.

Zhou Youchen and Meng Xilan returned to Cining Palace together.

Meng Xilan hesitated slightly, before she got up and knelt in front of Zhou Youchen and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something she wants to explain to the emperor. ”

Zhou Youchen took off his coat, looked at her respectful appearance, and said, "Don't be like this, if you have something to say." ”

Meng Xilan still knelt still: "No, the concubine still kneels and says it well." After speaking, she looked back at Zhulu and said, "You go and bring the second prince." ”

As soon as he heard the words "Second Prince", Zhou Youchen's face changed slightly.

"The kid...... It's time to hold it up and let me take a look. ”

Meng Xilan's mood became heavy.

"Your Majesty, the second prince is ...... It's a little different from normal children......"

Zhou Youchen had heard about this for a long time, and people outside were spreading about it.

Zhou Youchen frowned and said, "I know...... Whatever he is, he is my son, and I will treat him well. ”

Meng Xilan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this: "The concubine and the emperor have the same heart, so the concubine wants to raise the second prince in person." ”

Suddenly, Zhulu held the second prince who was still in infancy and carefully sent it to the emperor.

Zhou Youchen lowered his eyes and frowned.

Meng Xilan saw that his expression had changed, and hurriedly said: "The second prince is congenitally deficient, so he has the disease of rabbit deficiency. The master said that when the second prince grows up, he can help him stitch and heal, but his appearance will be different from ordinary people. ”

The child slept soundly, not knowing that anyone was grieving for him.

"If even Jiao Changqing can't do it, I guess no one has a way."

Zhou Youchen wanted to touch the child, but stopped halfway.

Meng Xilan took the child from Zhulu's arms, approached him, and said, "Please take a closer look at the emperor, in fact, this child's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the emperor." ”

Father and son are father and son, and blood can't deceive people.

However, unlike Changsheng, his eyes are not brown, but black, which follows his mother.

Zhou Youchen looked at the child silently, and his expression became a little heavy.

"Your Majesty, it's a reason for the concubines to keep the second prince by their side." Meng Xilan handed over the child to Zhulu again.

"When the second prince was born, Sister Tong was weak after giving birth, and the concubine gave birth to the child like this, and she didn't want to be frightened, so she sent the child to the nursing mother to take care of. Unexpectedly, when she came to her senses and saw the child, she almost went crazy...... almost strangled the second prince with his own hands. ”

Meng Xilan did not avoid the important and trivial, nor did she protect and favoritism. In her opinion, this is an absolutely unforgivable mistake.

After hearing this, Zhou Youchen stretched out his hand and slapped the table heavily and said, "This poisonous woman! ”

Meng Xilan said softly: "Don't be in a hurry for the emperor, the concubine has already punished her." ”

"Punishment alone is useless! Such a ruthless woman, it is only a scourge to keep it. ”

Zhou Youchen's heart was already filled with murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, she is the biological mother of the second prince, you can save her life for the sake of the child."

Meng Xilan said softly: "If the child grows up, ask who his biological mother is?" And where? If the concubine told him the truth, he would be sad. ”

This child's life is more difficult than ordinary people. Even his biological mother thinks he is a monster, how many people in this world can treat her sincerely?

Zhou Youchen's heart moved when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he was not regarded as a monster...... Evil ......

"Your Majesty, you can hand over the second prince to the concubines. The concubine will treat him well. ”

Zhou Youchen silently held her hand and secretly exerted force.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have spoiled that woman, let alone let her have this child."
