In the cold winter, the cold wind is sluggish, wantonly bullying the branches that do not stick to the leaves, and the snow falls silently, only the crisp sound of the thick snow falling on the thin branches.

Prince Chung's Mansion.

"Yu'er, today my mother wants to enter the palace to greet your imperial grandmother, do you want to enter the palace with my mother?" Prince Zhong sighed lightly on the hot tea in the tea cup, and Princess Zhong's loving face loomed under the heat.

Xiao Yu bowed his head with a smile, and his clear eyes were decorated with warmth, "Mother, the child has not entered the palace to visit the imperial grandmother for a long time, and today I just entered the palace to greet the imperial grandmother." After a pause, Xiao Jue wiped a fox smile on his lips, and said firmly: "Mother entered the palace today, I'm afraid it's not just to ask for peace for the imperial grandmother?" ”

Prince Zhong smiled and beckoned to Xiao Yu, "Yu'er, come here, my mother has something to tell you." Xiao Yu still walked to the side of Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong, and consciously leaned over and clung to her ear, "Mother, you say, the child listens." ”

Prince Zhong raised her eyes and looked at the door of the house, paused for a moment, and saw that there was no sound of movement, so she lowered her voice and said: "Yu'er, my mother entered the palace today to negotiate with your imperial grandmother about asking for your seal. ”

"That's great!" Xiao Yu stroked his palms and smiled, suddenly paused, his smile was temporarily retracted, his eyes were deep, and he was bound to say: "Mother, not only me, Chang'an must also be sealed, so that it is not a grievance Chang'an." "How can Xiao Yu turn a blind eye to the gossip in the capital, it is said that Chang'an has suffered a loss from marrying him, even so, he wants the world to polish his eyes, he wants the world to see, whether he and Chang'an are a match made in heaven or make the pearl dusty.

Prince Zhong bowed her head slightly, and said gently: "That's nature, let's see it today." Let's go, Yu'er, it's not early, let's go into the palace today to have lunch with your imperial grandmother, and you must not leave a trace at that time. Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong tidied up Xiao Yu's clothes slightly, and the mother and son went out of the house to the palace.

Palace.

"Imperial grandmother, imperial grandmother, where are you, Yu'er has come to see you!" As soon as he stepped into the queen mother's bedroom, Xiao Yu scurried around like a wild horse, childishly looking here and there, and not forgetting to shout, "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er is here, Yu'er is here again!" ”

"Ouch, Yu'er, the imperial grandmother is here!" The Queen Mother walked tremblingly to Xiao Yu, who was playing with the night pearl, with the support of her grandmother, and reached out to hold Xiao Yu's hand, with a little complaint in her love, "Yu'er, why haven't you come to see the imperial grandmother for so long, don't you want the imperial grandmother?" The Queen Mother feigned anger, her face sank slightly, and her innate majesty emanated, which made a palace maid and eunuch feel frightened.

Xiao Yu hurriedly put down the night pearl, snuggled up to the queen mother affectionately, and hurriedly defended, "Yu'er misses the imperial grandmother, Yu'er misses the imperial grandmother very much!" Imperial grandmother, Yu'er has come to see you, don't be angry, don't be fierce, Yu'er likes smiling imperial grandmothers. Saying that, Xiao Yu grinned and smirked, but in an instant, he suddenly held the Queen Mother's hand and rubbed it back and forth, and angrily scolded the palace people beside the Queen Mother, "Why are the hands of the Imperial Grandmother so cold, you, damn, damn!" Xiao Yu turned his head to look at the Queen Mother, his misty eyes showed a sad expression, and he coaxed softly: "Grandmother Huang is not afraid, Yu'er will give you warmth, warmth." ”

A group of palace maids and eunuchs knelt down together, trembling and admitting their mistakes, "The slave (slave) should die, the slave (slave) should die, ask the queen mother for forgiveness, ask the little prince for forgiveness......"

"Yu'er, what's going on?" Prince Zhong heard Xiao Yu's angry scolding from a long distance, and hurriedly walked over, and saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs kneeling tremblingly, and kept leaning over and kowtowing, shouting for mercy, but seeing that the Queen Mother had no gloom on her face, but it was a rare joy and relief, which made Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong wonder for a while, and wondered: "Isn't Yu'er in trouble?" ”

The Queen Mother gathered up her majesty, and for a while she was like a loving old man in an ordinary family, she touched Xiao Yu's cheek lovingly, turned around and smiled: "It's not Yu'er who is in trouble, Yu'er, it's that I've grown up and knows that I feel sorry for the emperor's grandmother." Okay, you all get up, Ruyi, you go and invite the emperor to come to Cining Palace for dinner at noon, auspicious, and tell to prepare dinner. ”

"Yes." As soon as they were done, they were immediately relieved, got up and performed their duties, and the tea and pastries were brought up after a while.

Seeing that Xiao Yu was still depressed and holding his hand, his misty eyes were wrapped in an angry look, and he just sat aside angrily, did not speak, and glared at the palace maid and eunuch childishly. Seeing this, the Queen Mother was very nervous, patted Xiao Yu's hand gently, and smiled lovingly, "Yu'er, no matter what they do, it's the imperial grandmother who is old." When the words fell, a little sadness appeared on the queen mother's face, and she said with emotion: "Time is not forgiving, Yu'er, you have to grow up quickly." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu stood up anxiously and said angrily: "Imperial grandmother is talking nonsense! The royal grandmother is not old! The imperial grandmother will not be old, Yu'er will not be able to say no! For some reason, Xiao Yu's eyes were slightly red, his heart was sour, and he hugged the Queen Mother unexpectedly, "Imperial grandmother, you have to stay with Yu'er all the time, all the time, is it okay for Yu'er to pull the hook with you." ”

Looking at Xiao Yu's childish but sad face, the Queen Mother only felt that her throat was sore, both relieved and helpless, so she had to coax Xiao Yu, "Okay, good, the imperial grandmother promised Yu'er that she would always accompany Yu'er to grow up...... Yu'er, don't let the imperial grandmother wait too long! The Queen Mother still trembled and stretched out her armor-worn little finger, the bright red and Xiao Yu's pure whiteness were intertwined, and the Queen Mother's eyes were slightly red, "Yu'er, grow up quickly." ”

When Prince Zhong saw the warm scene of her ancestors and grandchildren, she was happy and sad, and she couldn't help but have red eyes.

"The prince has arrived."

The eunuch's shrill voice ruined the quiet of the years, and the Queen Mother and Princess Zhong immediately restrained their expressions, only Xiao Yu still looked at the Queen Mother stupidly, and was extremely happy, "The imperial grandmother promised Yu'er, Yu'er is happy!" ”

A trace of imperceptible anger flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she patted Xiao Yu's head lovingly, pulled Xiao Yu to sit beside her, and gently instructed: "Yu'er, sit next to the imperial grandmother obediently, come, eat some nest silk candy, the imperial grandmother remembers that Yu'er loves to eat this nest of silk candy the most." ”

Xiao Yu nodded busily, "Yu'er likes to eat, Chang'an also likes to eat, but the imperial grandmother doesn't like to eat......"

"Imperial grandmother, my grandson has asked you to say goodbye." The prince strode over, saluted the queen mother respectfully, but looked at Xiao Yu on the side without a trace, the narrow phoenix eyes were dark for a moment, but they were hidden in the blink of an eye, and turned to salute Prince Zhong, "The imperial aunt is fine." ”

didn't wait for Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong to speak, but I heard the Queen Mother's voice that was not angry and arrogant, "What is the matter with the prince coming today?" ”

"Back to the emperor's grandmother, my grandson heard that Cousin Yu entered the palace today, thinking that I haven't seen Cousin Yu for a long time...... Cousin Yu, do you want to go to the Imperial Garden with me to enjoy the plum blossoms? The prince's smile was shallow, and there was no other emotion on his not very handsome face.

Xiao Yu nested beside the Queen Mother, cautiously looked up at the prince a few times, suddenly approached the queen mother's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Imperial grandmother, who is this person, Yu'er, Yu'er doesn't like him!" Xiao Yu held his mouth and stared at the prince defensively.

The Queen Mother squeezed Xiao Yu's hand with pity, and coaxed softly: "Okay, Yu'er doesn't like him, so we won't see him, and the imperial grandmother helped Yu'er get rid of him." The queen mother raised her eyes to the prince, there was no warmth between her eyebrows, and said coldly: "Since there is nothing to do, the prince, you can go, as the prince, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country, you should focus on major affairs, ask your father and ministers for advice, don't do nothing, you go." ”

The prince's eyes were surging with waves, and his fists were clenched, but his face was light and light, and he said respectfully: "What the imperial grandmother said is true, my grandson will go to the imperial study to listen to his father's teachings." The crown prince turned to look at Prince Zhong, most of the respect in his eyes was gone, he just made a routine salute, but smiled at Xiao Yu, his expression was inexplicable, "Cousin Yu, cousin will take you to the imperial garden another day." With that, he turned and walked out.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, her eyes fierce, "I don't know what kind of heart I have." Prince Zhong also looked at the figure of the crown prince, frowning lightly and thoughtfully. Only Xiao Yu didn't know it, and happily bit the nest candy, "It's delicious, it's delicious, Yu'er likes it!" ”

"Ugh." The Queen Mother sighed lightly, looking at Xiao Yu's innocent face full of distress, seeing that Xiao Yu's mouth was stained with some sugar sprinkles, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, reached out and took out the embroidered handkerchief, and wiped it slowly and carefully for Xiao Yu, "Yu'er, if you see that person in the future, you will avoid him, don't let him bully him." If he bullied Yu'er, Yu'er will talk to the imperial grandmother, remember? ”

Xiao Yu licked the sweetness on her lips, staring at the unfinished Wosi candy, and nodded as if she didn't understand, "Imperial grandmother, Yu'er knows, Yu'er doesn't like that person, so Yu'er won't play with him!" He's bad, he's bad! ”

Xiao Yu's "mouth and heartlessness" made the queen mother's body unconscious, and her inquiring eyes fell on the princess and princess who was sitting at the bottom, quite puzzled, "Why does Yu'er say that the prince is bad?" Isn't it the prince, what did he do to Yu'er? When the words fell, his eyebrows immediately appeared majestic.

Prince Zhong and Princess Zhong looked at Xiao Yu who was making a fuss and shook her head, and said firmly: "No, Yu'er and the prince haven't seen each other for a long time, and the last time I saw it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Yu'er and the prince didn't have any contact......" Prince Zhong frowned slightly, "Yu'er, why do you say the prince is bad?" ”

Xiao Yu's eyes were suddenly dazed, and he shook his head ignorantly, "Yu'er doesn't know, but Yu'er just knows that he's bad!" Mother, grandmother, you believe Yu'er, Yu'er didn't lie! Xiao Yu was anxious to prove herself, so she suddenly got up and ran to Prince Zhong, her eyes were red for a while, and she held Prince Zhong's hand and spoke earnestly, "Mother, Yu'er didn't coax her mother and grandmother!" ”

"Okay, well, my mother and the imperial grandmother know that what Yu'er said is true, Yu'er don't worry, but you can't say this in front of the imperial uncle for a while, do you know?"
