Chapter 36: Changqing

On this day, as soon as the sun rose on the branches, the longer the cold Chonghua Hall sounded, the laughter of a child.

"Virtuous Mother!" Zihan rushed into the hall and pounced on Chang'an at once.

Chang'an was surprised and delighted, picked up Zihan to his lap, reached out and picked up a piece of sugar steamed cheese from the breakfast dishes and handed it to her, and said with a gentle smile, "Why did Zihan come here so early?" ”

Before the words fell, Hexiang, who was chasing all the way behind, also rushed into the hall at this time. She leaned against the door, gasping for air. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zihan sitting on Chang'an's lap, eating with sugar steamed cheese with relish, so he smiled bitterly and said to Chang'an, "Concubine Xian, the emperor is really fast, and the slaves and maids can't catch up." ”

Looking at Hexiang's appearance, the evening fragrance on the side couldn't help but hide her mouth and snicker.

Zihan stared at her big watery eyes, looked at Hexiang disapprerovantly, and said, "Who told you to run too slowly?" ”

Such childish words provoked Chang'an and several palace people in the palace to laugh.

Now Hexiang's face was even more flushed, and she struggled to justify, "Now that the emperor is older, it's really getting more and more difficult to manage, and the aunt who watched the emperor two days ago flashed her waist......"

As soon as these words came out, there was a smile. Chang An glanced out the window with a smile and asked out loud, "Is Zhao Ronghua here too?" ”

He Xiang shook his head and said, "No, the little master is still resting in the hall at this time." ”

Chang'an bowed slightly, thinking about what Aunt Chen said a few days ago, and felt even more elusive in his heart.

"Virtuous mother, I still want it."

Zihan interrupted Chang'an's thoughts with a loud voice.

She stretched out her little hand to grab another piece of sugar crisp on the plate, Chang'an was amused by her action, and directly pushed the plate in front of her, and then ordered, "Evening fragrance, go and get some cream melon seeds and plum for Diji." ”

Wanxiang smiled and bowed, and should go down.

Zihan was eating sugar crisp, his mouth was stuffed full, but his little hands didn't forget to eat another food.

Seeing this scene, Chang'an secretly felt a little funny, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the residue from the corners of Zihan's mouth. Zihan quickly finished eating half a plate of sugar crisp, leaned on Chang'an's arms, yawned, and said in a low voice, "Concubine Xian, why didn't you come to see me on Zihan's birthday?" ”

Chang'an's heart froze, and he turned to smile and said, "Didn't Concubine Xian send you a gift?" ”

"That's different!" Zihan suddenly got up and looked at Chang'an unhappily, "Zihan hasn't seen the virtuous concubine for a long time, so Zihan went to ask his father...... But the father said...... He said......"

Hearing that Zihan was speechless, Chang'an was anxious, and couldn't help asking, "What did your father say?" ”

"Father said......" Zihan raised his head, cautiously glanced at Chang'an's face, and his voice gradually lowered, "Father said that Concubine Xian has been sick recently, so don't let Zihan disturb Concubine Xian......"

When she heard this, a sour sadness came up in her heart. But then he easily concealed the look on his face, Gu Zi picked up a piece of sugar crisp and chewed it slowly, as if he didn't realize it.

At this time, Wanxiang had already brought several plates of food, and when Zihan saw that there was something delicious, he suddenly turned happy, and hurriedly jumped down from Chang'an's arms and threw himself in front of the table.

Seeing her so lively and cute, Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and said softly, "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

Zihan nodded again and again, but never stopped the movements in his hand. Finally, when she had eaten enough, she stretched out her hand to face Hexiang. Hexiang immediately understood, and hurriedly trotted forward to pick her up and put her on the couch.

Zihan sat comfortably beside Chang'an and grinned at her, "Concubine Xian, do you know? On Zihan's birthday, Zhong Jieyu came. But I didn't like her at all, so I broke the bracelet she gave her, and she lost her temper, and she looked fierce, which was really scared to death......"

Zihan said as he thought back to the situation at that time, and the expression on his face was a little more frightened.

Chang'an listened to her, and couldn't help but think of Zhong Yuxiu's angry expression in his mind, and he faintly felt a little funny, I was afraid that in the dark, this little guy also helped her get angry with Zhong Yuxiu.

Chang An stretched out his hand to stroke the broken hair in front of Zihan's forehead, and just wanted to say something, when suddenly the bead curtain outside the door moved, and in an instant, he saw Hanyan come in with a happy face.

Since Chang'an fell out of favor, she has never seen Hanyan so happy, and she thinks that there must be something good today. She was just about to ask, but Han Yan had already rushed ahead of her and said, "Master, look who is coming." ”

Chang'an was just about to get up, Shen Changqing had already walked into the hall and called her with a smile, "Chang'an." ”

When Chang'an saw Changqing, he almost couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and wanted to pounce on it all at once. She stood in front of Changqing and looked at him in disbelief, almost crying with joy, "Why is my brother here?" ”

Changqing explained the smile at the corner of his eyes, and turned around with Chang'an, but saw a girl who looked like four or five years old sitting on the couch, frowning at him, so he smiled and asked out loud, "Chang'an, is this ......?"

At this time, Chang'an suddenly remembered that Zihan was still in the palace, and said busily, "This is the emperor's eldest daughter, Emperor Shuyi." ”

Shen Changqing bowed his head and bent his knees, "Weichen Shen Changqing has seen the emperor. ”

Zihan pursed her lips, but she was reluctant to have someone salute her like this.

Seeing this, Chang'an smiled slightly, "Zihan, is it okay for the virtuous concubine to ask Xiao Dezi and Xiao Shanzi to play with you?" ”

When Zihan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said happily, "Okay!" They run fast! I'm going to play with them! ”

Chang'an laughed twice, turned around and called for evening fragrance and lotus incense, and took Zihan down.

After everyone retreated, Chang'an Fang poured two cups of tea, handed one of them to Changqing, and said with a smile, "When did my brother come, why didn't anyone notify him?" ”

Changqing took a sip of tea, and his tone was also happy, "Thinking that you are in the palace, there are many rules for everything, so it won't be really troublesome......"

Before he finished speaking, Changqing coughed a few times. Chang'an thought that he was choking, and hurriedly patted him on the back, but his cough was heavy and heavy, and after a few coughs, even his face turned a little pale. Chang'an's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Is my brother sick?" ”

Changqing coughed and waved his hand, "It's out of the way...... Out of the way...... It's just a little wind chill......"

Seeing that he was coughing so badly, Chang An faintly felt a little bad, "Do you want me to send a doctor to take a look?" The wind chill can't be delayed. ”

When Changqing heard this, he shook his head again and again, "No need, I have already seen the doctor, and I will be fine if I drink the medicine on time." ”

Chang'an heard that he had already seen the doctor, so he no longer insisted, and only gently instructed, "Then you have to listen to the doctor, and you have to take the medicine." ”

When Changqing heard this, he didn't feel a little funny, "Can I not even know this?" Suddenly, he thought of something again, and said with a smile, "I'm coming back here, one is to come to see you, and the other is that my father and Aunt Lan have brought you a lot of things, and I have already given Hanyan a lot." ”

Chang'an heard that Changqing only mentioned his father and Aunt Lan, and his heart was sullen, and he couldn't help but say loudly, "Then my mother ......"

Changqing was also stunned, and then said with a relieved face, "I came in a hurry this time, and I haven't had time to go to the eldest lady yet......"

Chang'an smiled miserably, undeniable. When did she start caring about her mother? Mother now has Changle to take care of, where is the heart to take care of her.

Changqing seemed to see Chang'an's thoughts, and comforted him with a wide expression, "Auntie has always been very worried about you, and the people in the family are thinking about you, hoping that you can come back to Lin'an to have a look." ”

There was a warm and soft place in Chang'an's heart that was gently touched. As far as she is concerned, is she still a family? She is used to seeing her mother's coldness and her father's neglect, and the only thing worth thinking about is probably Changqing and Changle. She remembered that before entering the palace, she and Chu Luo had returned to the Shen Mansion together. Both her father and mother persuaded her to enter the palace in unison. But now, she has entered the palace, she has become a virtuous concubine, but she is facing 3,000 people in the harem. She can't have Chu Luo alone anymore, she has also tasted neglected, is all this what her parents want?

She couldn't help but be silent, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed down, and asked instead, "Didn't my sister-in-law come with you?" ”

At the mention of Changqing's wife, Gu Qiuyi, his eyebrows suddenly darkened.

Shen Changqing has been married for several years. His family affairs were arranged by his father, and after the eight-character invitation was written, Shen Changqing married his wife whom he had never met.

And soon after that, Chang'an also came out of the cabinet.

Chang'an actually doesn't have any impression of this sister-in-law who hasn't met a few times, but from the fact that they have been married for many years and have no children, Chang'an guesses that their relationship should not be very good.

Sure enough, as soon as Chang'an asked about Gu, Changqing's face immediately became ugly, and as soon as he was excited, he coughed even more.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chang'an hurriedly added water and brought it to Changqing. Changqing took a big sip, his breath calmed down a little, he looked at Chang'an, there was indescribable emotion between his eyebrows, but his tone was only faint, "She is busy with things in the house, so she doesn't have time to come together." ”

Chang An bowed slightly, and didn't ask too much.

She lifted the teapot and wanted to give Changqing another cup of tea, but he was already about to get up and leave.

"How...... Leaving in such a moment? Chang An frowned, extremely reluctant.

Changqing bowed slightly, and said, "There are rules in the palace, and the concubine's family is not allowed to visit the palace for too long." ”

Chang'an was a little sad in his heart, thinking that Changqing had been on the road for so long, but he only said these few words to her, and he was a little unbearable, but thinking of his current situation, he couldn't ask Chu Luo for extra kindness, so he only said, "That brother, the journey is safe." ”

Changqing bowed slightly, coughed a few more times, and gradually walked away under Chang'an's gaze.

Han Yan happened to bring food, but when he saw that Changqing had already left, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why did Lord Shen leave so quickly?" ”

Chang'an tried her best to calm her emotions, but there was still a tear stain in the corner of her eye, she didn't speak, turned around and entered the hall.

Hanyan finally saw Chang'an happy, but it still ended miserably, and it was inevitable that there was some injustice in his heart. She looked at Chang'an's departing back, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
