When I woke up early the next morning, my neck was really sore and sore, and it seemed that it was not wise to put too much on my head. For the arrival of Xiao Er last night, no one found out, it was like a false dream.

I opened the door in a very good mood, and a shaggy black head frightened me to quickly put back the smiling face again! This...... Isn't this the black wind of the prime minister's family? Of course, it is also the black wind in the clouds.

When Twilight arrived, she saw this scene: me and a dog staring at each other.

"Whew~" The black wind in front of me lost a lot of weight, and a pair of black eyes looked at me very aggrievedly, as if I had been greatly wronged.

While touching its head, I asked Twilight, "Hasn't this black wind been staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion all the time?" ”

Twilight didn't have the slightest surprise and touched its head, "It was sent by Prime Minister Yun last night, saying that it was getting less and less to eat, and hoped that the princess could take care of it, and said ......" She paused, "and said that this is also what Yun Zhong wanted."

"Princess, tell me quickly, why did the prime minister give you a dog? How does it have to do with Lord Yun? She looked curious.

"This ......," I smiled awkwardly, "probably because I've been with this dog a few times." "Look at its thin body, the owner is gone......

"Then I'll take care of you, Blackie."

"Whew~" It tilted its head and stuck out its tongue to lick my palm.

What is hoped for in the cloud?

For almost a day, I was playing with Xiao Hei. Ever since I fed him some meat buns, he has started to stick to me, and sure enough, he is a foodie.

But there are times when I have a headache -

I don't know how many times I've been to the Imperial Garden, so take a breath and take a break. Every time Black Wind sneaks out by himself, he comes to this place, and this time he doesn't know which rockery to hide behind again.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei come out!"

"Wang!" A black shadow suddenly appeared behind the rockery, and it was Xiao Hei. I was about to make a move on it, but I saw a familiar face.

Murong Lizhu?

Could it be that Xiao Hei comes to find this young lady every time he sneaks out?

"Don't blame it, princess, I also happened to meet Black Wind in the Imperial Garden a few days ago, and every time I come back, I will bring it something to eat." After speaking, he took out the meat from a basket and fed it to Xiao Hei, who saw the meat's eyes straightened.

"It's okay, if Miss Murong likes ......" The rest of the words couldn't be said, this was given to me by Prime Minister Yun, how could I give it away.

She seemed to see my embarrassment, and said: "Prime Minister Yun sent you to take care of it, which means that you are the best choice for its new owner, and I am not good to be loved." After that, he arranged the basket, "I only hope that the princess will allow me to come and see it more in the future." ”

"It's nature." I said apologetically, I don't know why, I always felt like I owed her a lot of money.

"Miss Murong also likes plum blossoms?" I saw my eyes staring at a plum blossom and couldn't help but ask.

She didn't seem to hear, she was still watching, or maybe she saw something else through them, thoughtful.

"I remember that at the plum blossom banquet, they were all bones, but now they are blooming so beautifully."

Plum Blossom Banquet ...... ...... in the cloud

"Alas, why don't you talk about the past again, and plum blossom viewing should be a pleasing thing to the eye." She smiled like a gentle water lily, but I couldn't laugh.

She took my hand, "Princess, can I call you later?" As if he was afraid that I would not agree, he said, "Don't worry, I'm just shouting in private." ”

I looked at her in amazement, this sudden closeness actually made me subconsciously resist, we haven't gotten acquainted with each other yet. However, it's better to have more friends than multiple enemies.

I nodded.

On the way back, I carried a few plum blossoms in my arms. Passing by the emperor's bedroom, which is brightly lit. I wanted to sneak away, but I didn't want the black wind to run over and smell randomly.

The sniffed guard looked frightened, and hurriedly took something out of his bosom and threw it on the ground.

Not only was I stunned, but the other guard was also stunned, that is...... A piece of osmanthus cake!

Then Black Wind ran away. I smiled apologetically at them, and I wanted to leave this place of right and wrong, but suddenly I remembered something.

"Is the emperor bed?" I asked in a whisper.

"Xu is discussing with Prime Minister Yun, and the princess is going in, and he will report it later." The guard finally came back to his senses.

Prime Minister Yun is here? Are you still looking for the emperor to discuss matters so late?

"No, I'll come back next time." Anyway, hurry up and chase my little black.

Since the queen mother didn't come to the princess ceremony, I felt that the gap between the mother and son was definitely not shallow. Since I promised the queen mother that I would see her often in the future, I still have to go, but I need to ask the emperor for orders.

Looks like I'll have to come back tomorrow.

But the next day, I still couldn't see the emperor, because he went to the early court.

"Princess, do you know? The battle has finally been won at the border. Twilight told me secretly, "In the past, I always lost the battle. ”

"And the Eastern Wu Dynasty?" I poured out the water in the plum vase and replaced it with a new one, and the plum blossom was still as if it were yesterday.

"Well, I heard that it was a young soldier who gave a plan, so he won the battle." Someone looked admiring, and I was afraid that the young soldier was already among her sweethearts.

I rolled my eyes, regardless of her, this will be the emperor's next dynasty. Although the looting of Wuhua Town may have been done by the people of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, I still think it is better to have no war.

"Princess, where are you going? Wait, slave! ”

"Go to the emperor!"

When I met the emperor, the emperor was writing in the study.

"Your Majesty?" I tried to whisper. There was no one else in the room, but when he remembered that he had put his own mother under house arrest, the voice of "brother" became more and more unable to shout. I told Twilight to wait at the door, and I went in first.

He seemed to be in a good mood, and he didn't care too much, and laughed, "This young soldier is really a talent, I must use him well." ”

I hesitated, "Your Majesty? ”

"It's Yue'er, what's the matter with looking for me? It's rare for you to come to see me. He looked like he had just noticed me, and his eyebrows were habitually raised.

"I ...... I want to see the Queen Mother. The voice grew quieter and quieter, and I didn't dare to look at his expression.

The person in front of me didn't speak for a long time, and when I was about to give up, the touch on my head startled me.

"Yue'er, you can go whenever you want, as many times as you want, and you don't have to be so afraid of me." He sighed and said, "Because I am your brother, not the emperor." ”

I raised my head in a daze, considering how credible this statement was, there was no way, the companion was like a tiger. This is also the reason I understood when I saw him execute a maid who knocked over a dish last time.

He withdrew his hand from my head and instead picked up something from his desk and handed it to me. An intricate jade token engraved with an unopened plum blossom.

In ancient times, there was a sage gentleman who loved Julian, but he had a soft spot for unbloomed plum blossoms, and I couldn't help but shake my head in my heart.

"This is the access token for the palaces, so no one will stop you now."

I held it and got cold in my hand. In this way, I can also go picking plum blossoms openly, and I can't help but smile when I think of it.

It's just that why do you think that today's emperor feels a little different to me? Is it because the border has won?

As soon as she leaves the door, Twilight asks anxiously, "How is it?" Did the emperor allow it? ”

I flashed the token in my hand to her, "Of course!" ”

"Wow, the emperor actually gave this to you, the emperor is really good to you." Her face was full of disbelief.

I smiled, noncommittal.

The Queen Mother was visibly happy to see me, and I greeted me with a smile. Speaking of which, she is also a mother in her last years.

"You're finally here, E-Niang has been looking forward to you for a long time." As soon as she saw me put down what I was doing, she smiled and there were a few cracks in the corners of her eyes.

"I asked the emperor for an edict today, and the emperor said that I can come to see you whenever I want in the future." After speaking, show her the token in her hand.

She held it in the palm of her hand and pondered it for a while, thoughtfully, and then handed it to me again, "This is very important, you have to take good care of it." I nodded solemnly.

"Okay, it's good to come, I'll go prepare something to eat." After saying that, he went out happily.

I began to look at the room: a simple table and chairs, a bed, a dresser, a few pots of flowers.

"Twilight, how long has the Queen Mother been here?"

"It seems that it has been here since the emperor came to power."

"Then why did the emperor put his biological mother under house arrest?" I muttered.

"I don't know about this slave, but princess, you are mistaken."

I was surprised to see her glance around and whispered, "The emperor was not born by the queen mother." ”

I looked at her in amazement, never expecting to wait for her to follow.

"The emperor was actually born to the former Concubine Xin, but his biological mother died after giving birth to him, and then until the emperor was twelve years old, the queen mother, who was still the queen at the time, adopted him. Later, the Queen Mother gave birth to you again, and unfortunately you were taken captive. Then the emperor became the emperor, and the queen mother became the queen mother......"

As soon as Twilight opened her mouth, she couldn't stop, but I was so dazed that I had to stop her, "Didn't you just enter the palace, how do you know so much?" ”

"I'm secretly asking about the next person, I'm afraid that if you ask me again, I can't ask again." She said smugly. Just as I was about to praise her for her wit, footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Cauliflower cake is here!" The Queen Mother walked in with a plate of things, green and green, looking very attractive, different from the osmanthus cake she saw last night.

"Taste it, this is made by E-Niang herself."

I picked up a piece and it melted in my mouth, and it was delicious, "Is it made of cauliflower?" ”

"That's right, I watched those cauliflower bloom and didn't eat and waste, so I made it after the osmanthus cake."

"Yes, it's delicious. Twilight, you can taste it too. I picked up a piece and gave it to Twilight, who first didn't take it, and then took it after seeing the Queen Mother nod.

"Princess, it's just delicious, the slave has never eaten such a delicious pastry."

"Eat slowly, don't choke." It seems that the Queen Mother is very happy.

When there was still a piece of cauliflower cake left, I finally couldn't help asking, "Why did the emperor put you under house arrest?" ”

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, turned her head and glanced at Dusk Huan, the girl was also clever, and she didn't forget to cover the door after she went out.

At this time, the queen mother sighed three times in a row before she said: "It's also my sin, no wonder he." It's also good to be in this quiet garden, and I don't want to go out anymore. ”

I didn't seem to understand, and I wanted to ask carefully, but seeing her remorseful and sad expression, I thought about it or forget it. Later, when it is time to know, it will be known. But before she thought about it, the Queen Mother spoke again.

"When I was still the queen, I killed the emperor's biological mother, and at that time, I only thought that I couldn't let her gain power, otherwise my queen's position would not be guaranteed...... In the end, Concubine Xin died, and his child was naturally raised by me. After speaking, she sighed heavily, "Later, her own child was taken away can be regarded as retribution." ”

She held my hand tightly, I couldn't think of such a warm hand that would kill, I wanted to pull my hand but didn't move.

As if she was expecting something, she let go of my hand, "The palace is like this, Yue'er, you'll understand when you grow up." She turned her back to me, her back slightly straight, "If you don't want to come in the future, come less." ”

When I walked out the door, it took me a long time to come back to my senses. Surviving in the palace is even more complicated than I imagined, is it really as Su Han said that I am "not suitable to live in the palace". I looked at Twilight, who was busy catching butterflies in the distance, and maybe, not really.
