The women of the cold palace were either complaining about their food or talking to themselves every day, and the dilapidated and lifeless palace crushed all their burning yearning and love, their delicate hope like a budding flower with morning dew, into the earth, including me.

Concubine Rong, a delicate and kind woman, may soon be like them, but now I desperately want to tear a hole in this cage that has trapped me through her, and peek into the outside world.

In the next two months, I often went to Concubine Rong's place to listen to her tell the stories in the palace, and Concubine Rong always only told me happy things, such as stepping on spring and bowing in spring, bathing in the hot springs of the summer resort in summer, going to horse racing and hunting in autumn, and holding folk lantern festival parties in the palace in winter.

So much so that when I was young and playful, I wanted to turn into a bird and fly out of this palace gate immediately, but life is full of flavors, how can there only be happiness. Later, when I actually went outside, I realized that the bloody cruelty in the palace was a hundred times more terrifying than the cold winter of the cold palace!

Of course, Concubine Rong said the most about her prince - Jiang Qi, a boy of the same age as me, from Concubine Rong's mouth, I met this naughty and well-behaved child, he rode a horse for the first time, fought for the first time, and memorized poems for the first time, I know how much I want to see him!

In the past ten years, apart from my father-in-law and a few guards, I have never seen any other men, let alone any playmates.

I eagerly awaited this man, and I desperately hoped that he would bring me into the world of children, so that I would no longer have to understand the strange adults, the sad or crazy women and the father-in-law who was forever squinting at us with contempt, and I could take off all the weight and be a child.

That day was not long in coming. At this time, Concubine Rong was terminally ill and couldn't get out of bed, but fortunately, her consciousness was still awake.

Early in the morning, I heard a noise outside: "Third prince, you can't go in," it was the voice of the guards, "Get out of the way!" It was an angry and childish male voice, and then the sound of a sword being drawn was heard.

There were already many people in the cold palace who came to watch the excitement, but the people outside the door were not afraid at all, and shouted loudly: "I have to go in today, if anyone wants to stop me, even if they stab me with a sword." ”

"Squeak-" The door opened.

A boy as old as me stood at the door, he was wearing a purple tassel of Dongzhu, a four-clawed yellow python cloak embroidered with gold embroidered from the East China Sea, and green fox fur boots, the sable fur collar made his lips red and teeth white, but his black and round eyes were full of eagerness, and he was really better than a girl!

Although I have never seen too many people of the opposite sex, I deeply believe that the most beautiful men in the world are just that!

"Where is Concubine Rong," he looked eagerly at everyone, but when they saw that the door was open, and where could they manage so much, they flocked to the door, and he was crowded into a crowd of women in coarse linen clothes, unable to enter or get out.

The guards outside the door drew their knives and stood at the door, and the women chirped: "Let us out, let us out!" But he didn't dare to take another half step.

"I know, I'll take you," I replied with my hands raised, and then he noticed me in the crowd, and slowly walked in front of me, against the flow of people.

He followed me through the long corridor and made many more turns before he finally came to Concubine Rong's courtyard in the northeast corner. He rushed in without even thanking me.

Probably he didn't look at me carefully along the way, and only regarded me as a little girl who helped him by chance, maybe no different from the maidservant father-in-law he saw by chance every day, but I really regarded him as my playmate in my heart, and a beam of light shone into this dark world.

I followed, and though I knew I shouldn't have bothered them at this time, for some reason I always felt that as soon as I turned around, this sudden arrival would disappear.

He whispered "Mother Concubine...... in front of Concubine Rong's bed The mother concubine ...... "Mama hurriedly made tea for him, and then came over and coaxed me with a smile: "Gu Yu, I made a good thing for you in the yard yesterday." ”

I was curious but didn't want to leave, it just so happened that Concubine Rong woke up at this time, and she must have been very happy to see her child, she shouted: "Qi'er, why are you here?" He pointed at me and said, "She brought me here," Concubine Rong held her hands to get up, and he gently helped her up.

Concubine Rong waved at me and motioned for me to come over, I walked quickly to her side, "Thank you" Concubine Rong looked at me, barely squeezed out a smile, her lips were white, her eyes were more and more blank, I only smiled silently.

"Qi'er, did your father allow you to come?" She asked him weakly,

"No, I broke in, I want to come to see you, who dares to stop me?" He replied, his anger still gone, and his eyes were already red. "Then go back quickly, or your father will punish you," she said, pushing him out of the way, looking worried.

"Mother, let me see you, I'll leave right away," the tears in his eyes finally couldn't help falling, and Concubine Rong didn't push him.

Then my grandmother gave me another look, and I had to follow her out. "Mama, what's the fun?" She hurriedly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's the swing mile that the slave maid tied yesterday," she pointed to the distance.

Sure enough, it was a swing, watching it sway slightly in the wind alone, I suddenly had a sour nose, and said to Mama: "Mama, when will Concubine Rong's illness be cured?" The tears she had just held back could not be stopped, her messy gray hair covered her eyes, and she seemed to be older than when she first arrived......

After a while, Jiang Qi came out, and unlike when he came, he was already crying in a trance. "I'll take you out!" He didn't say anything, just walked after me.

His sobs were intermittent, as if he was trying to suppress himself.

I sent him out of here, we didn't say a word, somehow my heart was empty.

This person, he originally only lived in the story of Concubine Rong, but why did he break into my world so really, and since then, the galloping horse, the arrow hitting the bull's-eye, and the image of reading at the desk have all come from.

He hasn't been here since.

Except for a few green pines, the other plants and trees in this cold palace are gradually withering and withering. The north wind was howling, and there were not many rustling leaves left, hanging on the branches, and the dark green meadow, which had been left unattended, was now bare, revealing only the ugly yellow ground.

Concubine Rong's illness is getting worse and worse, and the concubine's face is getting worse day by day, and this winter has been extraordinarily long.
