Chapter 1: The Palace of Golden Meaning
In September, Yujing City is like a big steamer, steaming every corner of this palace.
A few small yellow doors that were sprinkled and swept did not dare to be lazy, kneeling on the steps under the scorching sun, and wiping the white jade steps that were not dusty over and over again.
Xiao Yuan stopped, looked up at the countless layers of white jade steps in front of him, and sighed lowly.
The weather was so hot, but she felt a chill emanating from the bottom of her heart to her limbs.
The little embroidered shoes on her feet were swam in the water, creaking when she walked, and if she wasn't careful, she would slip and stumble.
Xiao Yuan simply sat on the white jade steps, took off his shoes, threw them away, and rubbed them with his little feet.
"Your Highness, get up quickly, it's very cold on the steps."
The dark and thin little girl wanted to reach out and pull Xiao Yuan, but she didn't dare to touch it, so her hand stopped in mid-air for a while before she retracted and wiped her wet clothes.
"What's your name?"
Xiao Yuan threw out the wet socks as well, stretched out a pair of little feet and shook them.
The black girl was very cramped, and the palace clothes on her body, which were obviously changed from old clothes, were almost wrenched by her hands: "If you go back to Your Highness, the maid has no name." Everyone shouted the black girl. β
"It's hard to hear!" Xiao Yuanhao snorted, "You are good-looking, let's call you Chu Chu." β
She squeezed out a puddle of water from her clothes, stretched out her fingers, dipped it in water, and wrote the word "Chu Chu" on the white jade steps.
Chu Chu was very excited, and immediately knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Yuan, almost falling on his back and rolling down the steps.
Xiao Yuan pulled her: "I can't climb anymore, let's rest and climb again." β
Bai Yujie couldn't see the end at a glance, and when he climbed up, he could see his father.
The Queen Mother is not in the palace, and in this palace, only Xiao Qian can protect her.
Looking at Chu Chu beside him, who was so excited that his eyes were full of tears, Xiao Yuan was afraid for a while, if it weren't for this dark and thin little palace maid who happened to pass by, she was afraid that she would have to go to see Lord Yama again as soon as she crossed over.
Xiao Yuan had been in the water for too long, first with a flood mixed with yellow mud, then it was dark in front of him, and then when he opened his eyes, there was a shallow pond.
The water didn't look deep, and when she tried to stand up, she realized that she was no longer the grassroots civil servant who was fighting on the front line of the flood fight, but had become a little Lori.
And the palace maid who was watching coldly on the shore gradually blurred her face.
Fortunately, Chu Chu, who was passing by, saved her.
The two little girls rested enough, held hands, and continued to fight this high and cold white jade step.
"Where did you come from, wild girl, go quickly!"
finally climbed up, but two silver-armored guards surrounded him.
Xiao Yuanhao felt a sense of fear rise in her heart, for fear that the long sword on the guard's waist would fall on her head the next moment.
She let go of Chu Chu's hand, passed between the guard's legs, ran to the door of the main hall with bare feet, and climbed over the high threshold.
As soon as his bare feet touched the cold ground, Xiao Yuan shivered.
The movement at the door alarmed the man on the golden phoenix throne, he seemed to be awakened from his sleep, and he was still angry to get up, and he didn't look at the little girl in the hall, and said to Gao Hongan, the minister who was waiting beside him: "Who is making noise outside?" Drag it out! β
Gao Hongan responded, waved his hand to the guards in the palace, and immediately someone came up to drag Xiao Yuan.
The huge fear made Xiao Yuan cry uncontrollably: "Ah Weng! Awn help me! β
The courtiers in the palace immediately exchanged their heads and whispered.
Xiao Qian frowned, and suddenly smiled again: "Who brought his little girl into the palace?" Let her go, don't freak out the little girl. β
Xiao Yuan broke free from the guard's big hand, and immediately ran barefoot in front of Xiao Gan.
Gao Hongan got up in a hurry again, stretched out his hands, and came over like an old hen to stop Xiao Yuanhao: "Quick! Stop her! Don't be alarmed, Your Majesty! β
Xiao Yuanhao passed under the armpit of the little old man in front of her, crying all the way forward, she only had the man sitting on the golden phoenix throne in her eyes - her father, Xiao Qian.
"Awn! Don't you want me? I'm Ah Hao! Don't you remember me? β
The smile on the corner of Xiao Qian's mouth instantly froze.
There was a moment of silence in the main hall.
Hula, a sturdy old man sitting on the second on the right, stood up suddenly, his expression was stunned, he took two steps forward, stood in front of the little Xiao Yuanhao, looked down at Xiao Yuan for a long time, and then squatted down suddenly: "Okay-"
"Ahh
Xiao Qian was faster than him, walked up to Xiao Yuanhao like the wind, and grabbed Xiao Yuanhao in front of the sturdy old man: "Hey, why are you wet?" β
Xiao Yuan could clearly see the fleeting complex emotions in Xiao Qian's eyes.
Her heart cooled down little by little, how much a father who didn't even know his own daughter could love her!
It seems that the memory of the four-year-old girl is really unreliable.
"Your Majesty!" Gao Hongan, the minister, seemed much more excited than Xiao Qian, "The tenth princess can speak!" β
Xiao Yuan, who was lying on Xiao Gan's shoulder, felt Xiao Qian's body tremble slightly.
She heard the irrepressible joy in Xiao Qian's voice, and her heart finally settled down a little.
"Ah, why did you suddenly speak?"
Xiao Yuan's good little hand grabbed Xiao Gan's collar tightly, and he didn't need to pretend at all, and the fear from his heart naturally revealed: "Ah Weng, I'm afraid, someone pushed me into the goldfish pond!" β
She spoke in a milky voice, but she was well organized, and the fear in her tone easily infected Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian patted her gently, his fierce eyes swept over the ministers in the hall one by one, and suddenly sneered: "You guys are really good means!" In order to force isolation, he refused to let go of even the last drop of the queen's blood! She is what you call the 'Jade Queen'! β
The ministers stood up and knelt down again.
No one dared to be the first to speak, and no one dared to touch the king's mold at this time.
Prime Minister Xiao Longzhuang looked at the chair beside him and secretly thought to himself, maybe from the day the Jade Queen died, there should be no more chairs for the courtiers in the Jinyi Palace. It's time for them to stand up to the court like Chen Guo's courtiers.
Xiao Yuanhao sneezed softly, finally breaking the terrifying atmosphere in this hall.
Internal supervisor Gao Hongan wanted to take over Xiao Yuanhao, but Xiao Yuanhao immediately grabbed Xiao Gan's shirt: "Ah Weng, I'm afraid of ......"
Xiao Qian turned around and slowly paced up in the hall.
This small and fragrant body was lying softly in his arms at the moment, and a pair of almond eyes were black and white, full of trust.
These eyes really look like Aman.
Xiao Qian couldn't help but give Xiao Yuanhao a light peck.
This is his and Aman's child.
He remembered that Ah Man was holding his hand tightly, calling his cousin, and begging him to be nice to Ah Man...... Ah Man's eyes were the same as Xiao Yuanhao at this moment, full of unconditional trust.
Xiao Qian hugged Xiao Yuan's good hands and couldn't help but tighten and tightenβhow could he and Aman's children let others be so bad!
"Dingguo Gong!"
Xiao Qian walked quickly to the sturdy old man who was just there, and said softly to Xiao Yuan, who was lying in his arms: "Ah Hao, don't be afraid, this is your grandfather." β
