Chapter III
Daddy led me out, but my eyes kept looking back to see if Chu Muxiu had come out......
"Daddy, wait for me......" When I saw that everyone had dispersed, I immediately let go of Daddy's hand to find him.
"Ah Candle, Ah Candle...... What are you going to do, don't run around...... "Daddy was going to hold me, after all, this is the palace, Daddy is afraid that I will cause some trouble with my temperament. But I ran so fast that I was gone in the blink of an eye.
I ran to him, and he came back and went back alone, "This brother, my name is Ah Candle, what are you calling?" I asked him as I followed him, and he was so fast that I had to trot to catch up.
He didn't hear me, he didn't pay any attention to me, his face was stiff, and he was walking quickly forward.
"I think we're very close together, can you be friends with me?" Although I thought he was strange, I still followed him cheekily, and I was always the kind of person who didn't stop until he reached his goal.
"Shepherd!
"Uncle!" I saw a middle-aged man the same age as my father shouting at that Chu Muxiu on the other side, and Chu Muxiu actually grinned.
The uncle in Chu Muxiu's mouth is Li Kaihe, the prince of the dynasty, the brother of Concubine Feng Shu, and the uncle of Chu Muxiu.
I paused: "Shepherd? Is this his name? ”
As soon as the elder brother saw the middle-aged man, he changed his unruly attitude in the main hall just now, and ran towards the man with joy in his eyes.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"I'm here to take you home!"
Chu Muxiu threw himself into Mrs. Li's arms, and then followed him back.
When I came back to my senses again, I saw a back, "My family lives in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my brother must come to me when he is free!" When I saw that he was about to turn and leave, I cried out with all my might.
But he didn't look back, and suddenly he didn't know where he was, let alone promised me......
"Aunt Song, I'm back!" As soon as the carriage stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion, I couldn't wait to stick my head out of the small window.
"Be careful, don't wrestle!" Daddy carried me out of the carriage.
When Aunt Song heard me calling her outside the gate, she immediately ran out, "Master! After Aunt Song greeted Daddy, she took my hand, "Ah Candle come in quickly, it's windy outside!" ”
I took out the Ruyi cake wrapped tightly in a handkerchief from the bag of my clothes and handed it to Aunt Song, "Aunt Song, you see, this is a reward from the Queen Mother, I think such a good thing must be left for you to eat." ”
Aunt Song hugged me in her arms and smiled from ear to ear, "Little Ah Zhu has grown up and knows that it hurts!" ”
I poked my head out of Aunt Song's arms: "Aunt Song, do you say I'm handsome, when I was in the main hall today, the Queen Mother praised me for being good-looking." ”
Aunt Song pinched my face, "Ah Candle is the best-looking, if she grows up, she will definitely be a beauty!" ”
"But I saw an elder brother in the palace today, and Ah Candle thinks he is better than Ah Candle!"
Aunt Song laid out the quilt for me behind her: "Oh, which family's son, where does the family live, and who is the surname?" ”
Speaking of this, I was not happy in my heart, and scratched my head, "Well, I don't know, it seems to be called Mu'er, but I told him, I live in the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask him to come to play with me......"
"We're so smart!"
"Hahahaha......"
Aunt Song didn't get married when she was young, and of course she didn't have children. So she regarded me and her children as her heart and liver, and completely played the role of my mother.
In fact, I like to stick to Aunt Song very much, because I have no mother since I was a child, every time I think about my mother, I hold Aunt Song, I think about it more, I want to call her mother......
The palace is large, but it is very desolate, especially at night.
"Where's the prince?" Mrs. Li asked the maid who passed by.
"The prince has been staying in the ancestral hall of the lady since he came back from the palace, and he has never come out again." The maid was holding a cup of tea in her hand and was bowing her head to reply.
"I see, you go down first!" Taifu sighed and ordered to go down.
"Yes!"
The ancestral hall was full of candles and brightly lit, because Chu Muxiu knew that his mother was afraid of the dark. On the tribute platform are all the snacks that the concubine loves to eat, and the incense in the stove has never been extinguished. In the middle of the ancestral hall is the spiritual seat of the concubine, which is engraved with the words "The position of the loving mother Feng Shufei." ”
I saw Chu Muxiu kneeling on the coffin, facing the spiritual position of Concubine Shu, there were tears in his eyes, and he kowtowed, "Mother, the son is not filial, I will only make you angry when you are alive, and now that you are gone, the bones are still unclear." I stand in front of the enemy today, watching them act as a prestige and get away with it, but I can't do anything, even your spiritual position has not been moved into the imperial mausoleum, the sons are useless, the sons are useless......" blood stains appeared on the ground little by little.
"Mu'er, what are you doing, stop it, don't knock again!" Taifu walked in and saw Chu Muxiu torturing himself like this, and immediately ran forward to stop him.
Chu Muxiu pulled the Taifu, "Uncle, why, why are the father and mother gone, they are gone, I am the only one left in this world, why am I the only one alive, it is better for me to die with them......"
Taifu helped Chu Muxiu wipe his tears, and said earnestly, "Mu'er, put away your tears, a dignified man should stand up to the sky, even if he bleeds, he can't shed tears." Your mother was seriously ill that day, and I swore in front of her bed that as long as I, Li Kaihe, lived, I would protect you! ”
Chu Muxiu opened the Taifu's hand: "But uncle, I am not reconciled, the Zhao family ordered someone to poison and murder my mother and concubine, and Chu Hanyuan's murder of his father and usurpation of the throne is even more criminal." As the saying goes, good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, I know the hookup of Zhao's mother and son, do you want me to pretend to be deaf and dumb, tolerate everywhere, and live a life under the fence? ”
Li Kaihe also followed Chu Muxiu: "Mu'er, the wall has ears, it's better not to say this kind of thing in the future." Remember, your life was bought in exchange for your mother's life, if you die, then who will rehabilitate your mother, do you want to watch your mother's spiritual position never enter the imperial tomb, do you want to watch her become a lonely ghost? It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now that the Zhao family is in a high position, many important ministers in the court have been bribed by her, and they are willing to do unseemly things for her, you and I must not act rashly, otherwise if you are not careful, your and my little lives will not be guaranteed......"
Chu Muxiu wiped away his tears, and after listening to Li Kaihe's words, he seemed to lift his spirits, "Uncle, why can wicked people like them live so happily?" ”
Li Kaihe squatted down and put his hand on Chu Muxiu's shoulder, "Now you can't complain about others, if you want to blame it, you will blame you for being born in the wrong child, but you were born in this deceitful emperor's family." What you have to do now is to study hard and practice martial arts well, only when you become strong, others will not dare to bully you, so that you don't have to look at Zhao's face to avenge your mother's concubine! ”
Chu Muxiu clenched his fists and looked at Concubine Shu's spiritual position with a hideous expression.
After that day, I would always think of that Chu Muxiu, and I even dreamed of it several times......
"Aunt Song, why hasn't it been half a month, and that brother hasn't come to me yet?" That night I sat on the threshold with my chin in my hands on my chin and looked at the stars.
Aunt Song made the bed for me in the house again, and she said that this quilt should be moved more often, otherwise it will become stiff and not warm in winter.
"Maybe he has something to delay, or maybe he forgot about it!"
"Forget, how can you forget, is it really so bad to remember at a young age?" I wondered whether I should believe Aunt Song's words or not.
He didn't come to me, and Daddy didn't let me go out, not to mention that even if I did, I didn't know where his family lived, so I chose to stay in the house obediently.
The days went by like this, and I sat under the osmanthus tree every day, waiting for the sunset, and waiting for him......
Spring goes to autumn, and throughout the year, osmanthus blooms and falls, and falls and blooms again. The osmanthus tree has grown very tall, I used to be able to reach out and touch it, but now my father is holding me, and I can't pick the osmanthus flower.
I'm waiting for 10 years......
Ten years is enough time to change everything, I have grown taller, I can't grow, I have become a slim girl, but my temperament has not changed, I am still as anxious as when I was a child, I am still playful and love to eat, no wonder Aunt Song said that I have grown up, and my skin is getting thicker and thicker.
In the past ten years, I still dream of Chu Muxiu by chance, in fact, I have never forgotten him, but I have a thought in my heart. I used to fantasize about a lot of scenes when I met him, and I even thought about what to say.
But ten years later, he still hasn't come to me, and I haven't waited for him anymore......
