Chapter 19: A Sleepless Night

Xiyi Pavilion, I don't seem to have heard of this place in my memory. When Aunt Liu taught the etiquette in the palace, she didn't mention this place, and Yan Yue didn't pay attention to this place in these days when she was in the palace. What greater grace will there be in the Hopes? Yan Yue didn't want any grace, but she could only walk in the direction of Naxi Yi Pavilion.

"Excuse me, sister, how to get to Xiyi Pavilion?" Yan Yue stopped a girl who was dressed as a palace maid in a hurry and asked.

"You're much older than me, how can I afford to call my sister!" The palace maid replied coldly, and left quickly without a pause at all. Yan Yue couldn't help but be annoyed, look at the appearance of this palace maid is almost in her early 20s, how can she be older than her, the age of this body should only be 18 years old. Is it because the birthmark on the face affects the overall appearance? Still makes people unable to see their age?

Yan Yue thought about it and walked slowly. I regret in my heart that I should go to the dining room once after leaving the Qinzheng Palace just now, and there is a trustworthy clove there, so I can ask her. It's good now, I only heard that Na Xi Yi Pavilion is in the northernmost part of the palace, but there is also due north, northeast and northwest in the north, this palace is so big, I want to find all the palaces in the north, I don't know how long it will take.

A woman in palace clothes came belatedly, and she looked curly and graceful in the light of dusk. This time, Yan Yue learned the lesson of the last time she asked for directions, and look at the woman in the palace costume is about thirty, it shouldn't be a problem to call her sister. prepared a warm smiling face, pinched and pinched her throat again, Yan Yue made a sweet voice: "May I ask my sister, how to get to Xiyi Pavilion?" ”

The woman in the palace costume stopped, looked at Yan Yue in surprise, stared at Yan Yue for a long, long time, and when Yan Yue was a little at a loss, she said in surprise: "Auntie, don't you know that you have to kneel when you see your master?" You can't just enter the palace at such an age, right? ”

Yan Yue had the urge to vomit blood, and she was called the wrong person by herself, this palace woman was not the palace maid in this palace, but the little master with some identity. What's even more hateful is that this woman actually calls herself aunt, is she so old? This feeling made Yan Yue want to look in the mirror with all her might. Fortunately, this woman was stunned by Yan Yue, and still said in a sweet voice: "Auntie, keep moving forward, don't turn around, the northernmost house is Xiyi Pavilion." ”

"I'm not an aunt, I'm only eighteen years old this year, eighteen years old!" Yan Yue gritted her teeth and announced, but the woman ignored it at all, and quickly left gracefully. Only let Yan Yue keep muttering behind her, and waited until the woman was far away, and Yan Yue slowly returned to normal.

Yan Yue was originally in a low mood, and coupled with the disturbance of these two women, she felt even more angry. Almost rushed into Xiyi Pavilion with anger, but was stunned when he saw the people under the lights! is still dressed in white, with a white hibiscus on his head and a white jade ring on his ears. The white face is not powdered, but it is still as beautiful as a fairy. She seemed to have been standing there quietly, staring in the direction Yan Yue had come from. And she is the mother of Yan Yue's body - Li Yunniang.

"Erniang!" Yan Yue shouted a little hesitantly, stammered a little, and wiped her eyes with her hands, wondering if she was dazzled.

"Yue'er! Mother's month! Li Yunniang shouted excitedly, tears rolling down her eyes.

Yan Yue's mind began to run rapidly, remembering that she seemed to have really heard of Xiyi Pavilion before, and it seemed that this was a place where palace maids and eunuchs would meet their relatives outside the palace. It's just that Yan Yue never thought that she would be related to this place, so she never remembered it. It's just that why did Murong Yan allow Li Yunniang to enter the palace, did he realize that he had no feelings for Yan Qin, and was ready to use Li Yunniang to contain himself!

Yan Yue thought about it, but she didn't know when she had been taken into a warm embrace. Mother's embrace, with a kind of warmth, a familiar fragrance, that feeling is so quiet, as if under the blue sky, rippling in the turquoise lake, lying on the fragrant earth, at that moment time seems to stop, at that moment Yan Yue forgot everything, only felt the whole body leisurely and comfortable.

"The emperor sent an edict, saying that you have made a meritorious contribution to the medicine, and I will let my mother enter the palace to meet you. Wei Niang once thought that as long as she saw her mother's Yue'er again in this life, and saw that everything was fine with her mother's Yue'er, she would be at ease even if her mother died. Li Yunniang cried and recounted, only to hear Yan Yue's heart was also sour.

"Mother, I'm fine, I'm really fine." Yan Yue directly omitted the two words in front of her mother and no longer called her Erniang.

"Then did the emperor embarrass you? Did Yan Qin bully you again? Eat well? Did you sleep well? Li Yunniang asked one by one. Yan Yue smiled and explained little by little.

"Is my mother good in the house? And what happened to my father? Has Madame ever bullied you? Inspired by Li Yunniang, Yan Yue also asked about the affairs of the house. In Yan Yue's memory, the person known as her mother has never had a good look at Li Yunniang, and she is trying to make things difficult for Li Yunniang's mother and daughter. After such a change in the house, I don't know if the general's wife will be distracted and less embarrassed.

"Since Yan Qin was canonized as a beauty, the emperor also gave your father the grace to take the general back to the mansion from prison. It's just that the general was weak after being injured, coupled with a bad mood, and has been bedridden. The people in the house have no freedom except for entering and leaving, and the rest is the same as before. It's just that there are many guards guarding outside the house, which makes people uncomfortable to look at. Li Yunniang spoke eloquently, and Yan Yue frowned when she heard it.

Where is this grace, this is simply house arrest. Murong Yan has been looking for evidence that Yan Wenzhong collaborated with the enemy and treason, but he has never found any definite evidence. Thinking that the prison was so heavy that ordinary people couldn't enter it at all, it was better to lock my father in the prison than to lock him in the house, so that if someone wanted to contact his father, he would definitely find an opportunity to enter the house. In that case, Murong Yan would be caught in one go.

"Madame also suddenly changed her temperament for some reason, and she did not embarrass her mother during this time. A few days ago, Mrs. was allowed by the emperor to enter the palace to visit Yan Qin, and when she returned home, she called her mother to her, saying that you and Yan Qin are in the palace together, after all, they are sisters and must take care of each other. In this way, there is hope for the Yan Mansion to return to its former glory. Your father also asked you when you studied medicine. Mother estimates that you and Yuechen have always been like brothers and sisters, and they usually walk around together, these should be taught by Yuechen. Li Yunniang came one by one, she would associate Yan Yue's medical skills, and the explanation was much more appropriate than Yan Yue's thoughts.

As for why the lady changed her temperament, Yan Yue didn't need to think about it to know, it must have been Yan Qin who told her mother that Yan Yue had attracted the attention of the emperor in the palace, and she often walked around in front of the emperor's eyes. That's why the ladies have the phrase to take care of each other.

"Mother, if Yue'er leaves this palace one day, I wonder if my mother is willing to leave with Yue'er?" Yan Yue asked suddenly. This palace is not a place where he stays for a long time, and he will leave one day.

Just by asking this question, Li Yunniang was so excited that tears flashed, and her lips trembled. Bantian Fang said: "If you have the opportunity, you must go to Jiangcheng and be filial to your grandparents for your mother." ”

In Li Yunniang's trembling voice, Yan Yue listened to a sad love story.

Li Yunniang was originally from the Jiangcheng family, and her father had four brothers in her generation, and Li Yunniang's father was the third, and Li Yunniang was the only daughter in the family. Twenty years ago, Yan Wenzhong passed by Jiangcheng and met Li Yunniang for the first time at a banquet. At that time, Li Yunniang was in her prime of life, with a beautiful appearance and a moonlight, and the two fell in love at first sight. At that time, Yan Wenzhong already had a marriage match, although he was not married, but the position of the main wife already had the master, and if Li Yunniang married in the past, she could only be a concubine. Therefore, Li Yunniang's father resolutely disagreed with the marriage between the two after understanding the situation, but Li Yunniang, who has always had a gentle personality, has paranoid stubbornness in this matter. In the end, he left a letter and eloped with Yan Wenzhong late one night.

In the year after marriage, the two were in close love, but they also lived happily. The second year, the general's wife entered the mansion, and it happened that Li Yunniang gave birth to Yan Yue. It was also in this year that everything changed. Yan Yue's ugliness was despised by Yan Wenzhong, and some people even slandered Yan Yue's life experience behind her back, saying that Yan Yue was not the general's blood, but Li Yunniang's cheating with others. The general's wife is even more despicable, on the surface she loves Li Yunniang and Yan Yue, but behind her back, she supports her subordinates to abuse the mother and son. But what reached Yan Wenzhong's ears was that Li Yunniang and Yan Yue were ignorant, so Yan Wenzhong became more and more cold to Li Yunniang, and he couldn't see each other for half a year.

It's been twenty years, and Yan Yue is eighteen years old. In the past 20 years, with the promotion of Yan Wenzhong's position, his family has also moved several places one after another. I don't know if I was too angry with my parents at the beginning, Li Yunniang asked someone to send a few letters to the family, but she didn't get any reply from her parents. Now I wonder if my relatives at home are okay?

The more Li Yunniang spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't cry anymore.

"Since you can't communicate with the letter, why don't you go home to see your grandparents?" Yan Yue was a little strange, although there were no advanced means of transportation in this ancient world, it was not so much that she couldn't even catch up with the road. I haven't seen my loved ones for 20 years, and this feeling must be that I can't sleep at night.

"I wanted to wait for the child to go home to visit together, but when the old man looked at the child's face, maybe all the anger would disappear. Unexpectedly, not long after Yan Yue was born, the old lady of Yan Mansion died, and some people said that Yan Yue's birth killed the old lady. Li Yunniang can only keep filial piety in the house, and this guard is three years. When Li Yunniang proposed to return to her hometown to visit relatives for the second time, she was just in time for Yan Qin's mother to give birth to Yan Qin, and Yan Wenzhong took Li Yunniang's ideal of waiting in front of his wife, so he kept Li Yunniang again. And when he wanted to go back to his hometown to visit relatives for the third time, he was delayed because of Yan Yue's illness. In short, it has been dragged down again and again, and it will be delayed for 20 years. Li Yunniang choked and cried, according to Yan Yue's memory, this Li Yunniang's personality was very cowardly, and she couldn't make up her mind when she encountered something, so she could only cry.

"Mother, don't cry, if you have the opportunity, Yue'er will take you back to Jiangcheng and visit your grandparents together!" Yan Yue said seriously, hoping that day would come quickly.

This night, the mother and daughter were basically sleepless, the two laughed and cried, and it was already dawn inadvertently! In Yan Yue's reluctant gaze, Li Yunniang was sent away from the palace.
