Chapter 5: The Queen
A month later, the last flower on the pear tree in the Yiqing Pavilion also jumped down, and it danced a melodious dance with the breeze. Slowly throwing himself into the embrace of the land, the big pear tree was completely changed into a green outfit.
I got to know Moran and I under the big tree, and when I looked up, I could see my mother, who was lying on her side on the chaise longue, looking at us with a smile. Just like countless days ago.
Even my mother didn't ask me, nor did she ask Mo Dye why she beat the second brother that day. Nothing happened, as if that night a month ago was a nightmare.
"Brother Mozen, look" As I turned my head, I saw the magpie that had been chubby landing on a very low branch near us. The coat color is smooth, but maybe it's too fat. The branches were swaying, or maybe it just wanted to swing.
Mo Dye quietly leaned into my ear and said, "An'er, be quiet, let's go catch it." ”
We tiptoed close to it, but its ears were so clever that before we could get close, it fluttered and dragged its chubby body and flew away.
I saw it fly out of the wall, and I immediately rushed out, shouting "Wait, magpie wait for me" as I ran. ”
When the concubine saw us running out, she raised her voice and shouted, "An'er, Xiaoran, you run slowly." ”
I just looked up at the magpies in the sky. When he turned the corner, he collided with his second brother. Most of the swollen areas on the second brother's face that were stained with ink have also disappeared. Thinking that my mother was still lying on the sickbed and couldn't move, I didn't want to pay attention to him. I also completely forgot that my second brother always secretly brought me cherry blossom cheese.
When the second brother saw me, he looked like a child who had done something wrong, and his eyes were erratic. We were in a stalemate for more than a minute, and then I turned and left. The second brother suddenly became anxious, "An'er, I didn't complain to my father, really, my father happened to see him that day." It's true! I had someone make you a lot of cherry blossom cheese. But ......, I don't dare go to you! ”
My heart moved slightly, but when I turned around, I saw the queen mother, she and my mother are people of two worlds, she is the kind of person who is truly graceful and luxurious, two rows of huge honor guards, she got down from the phoenix, put her hand in the hand of the maid, she step by step from far to near, every step is elegant and atmospheric. The phoenix on his head swayed slightly, and the long hem of his clothes rested on the ground. When we were three or four paces away. Stopped.
It was the first time I had been so close to the Queen Mother, her makeup was gorgeous and exquisite, just such a beautiful person, it made my heart tremble slightly. I knew a long time later that it was a person's aura.
She didn't even see me. said to the second brother, "Che'er, come here!" The tone was firm and undeniable. I remembered that every time my mother called me, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she silently sympathized with the second brother for a minute.
The second brother looked at me, and then at the queen's mother, as if he had something to say to me, and finally swallowed it all in his stomach. Then he moved towards the queen step by step. The queen mother took the second brother's hand and walked in the middle of the guard of honor, as if she was receiving a pilgrimage. She walked a few steps and stopped, this time her voice was a little more stern, "Don't play with irrelevant people in the future, you will forget your identity in anger", and the last two words of identity were bitten very hard.
Even though I was very young at the time, I could still see that I was disliked. I can still remember that scene a long time later, and the queen mother also taught me a lesson, that is, there is dignity and inferiority in this palace.
Ink Dye watched the scene from behind. He just clenched his fist tightly and put it down again. He came to me and said, "An'er, let's go back, the concubine should be worried." ”
"Hmm" I looked up at the sky, where there was still the shadow of a magpie. Then he pulled the corner of his ink-dyed clothes and walked back. I looked at the neat hair combed by the ink dye, and turned my face sideways to see the beautiful eyebrows and eyes of the ink dye. The sun stretches our shadows long, long. Although we will be disliked, and my father doesn't love us, we have a mother, ink dyeing, gardenias, and Linglong, and we are so happy.
When I grew up, I was ashamed of my former jealousy of my second brother and hated my second brother. In fact, our fate was doomed at the moment of birth, and we were not wrong, but we were born in the emperor's family.
