The space fell silent, or Yuan'er's cry broke the stagnant atmosphere, Yun Gu immediately walked to the inner room, and explained in her mouth: "Your Royal Highness has woken up, I'll go see if there is any urine." Yan Qi also got up from the chair and whispered, "I'll go make snacks for Xiao Yuan'er." ”

Then Yun Gu coaxed Yuan'er in the back room and didn't come out, Yan Qi was nowhere to be seen, but Changning, who had been leaning against the door, didn't leave, he hesitated and hesitated before asking in a low voice: "Sister, what happened?" ”

I looked at him and smiled inexplicably, not quite understanding what we were talking about at his age, but he could sense the change in the atmosphere and hesitate to ask what was going on.

"It's okay, it's because your seventh brother is too nervous, can you go and see if your seventh brother made a snack for Xiao Yuan'er?"

Changning obediently answered the call, but after taking two steps, he turned back to me and said, "Sister, if you are sad, don't laugh." "After Changning really walked away, the smile on my face also stiffened, who said that this kid didn't understand, at least he could sense my emotions.

Since this day, there has been no more turmoil in Lan Yuan, and Yan Qi and Yun Gu no longer go outside, but have begun to get busy with another thing. Xiao Yuan'er is about to turn one year old, and I plan to celebrate in the Orchid Garden that day, so I got some red paper to cut.

Yungu will cut window flowers, Changning will tie lanterns, and after a few days, Orchid Garden will be quite colorful.

But seeing that Yuan'er's birthday is still three days away, Orchid Yuan once again ushered in an uninvited guest, and this time I couldn't turn people away like before, because it was Concubine Lu who came.

Concubine Lu's guard of honor is incomparable to others, and before she arrived, there were already palace people shouting "Concubine Lu Niangniang has arrived", and when I came out of the house, everyone had already entered the Orchid Garden. Although he didn't know the intention, he knew that the person who came was not good, so he stepped forward and whispered to Concubine Lu: "Mother." ”

Concubine Lu said with a solemn face: "I've been back for so long, and I haven't seen you come over to say goodbye." ”

I know that no matter how much I say, I am looking for a reason, there is no past, there is no past, and this matter was nodded and agreed by Zhu Yuanzhang, I didn't say it before, and now it is just an opening remarks when it is mentioned.

I waited for the rest of the article, so I lowered my head and said softly: "I'm sorry, mother, it's my daughter-in-law's fault." ”

Sure enough, Concubine Lu went down the slope, "Okay, this palace won't care about you." What about Yuan'er? ”

After a pause, he replied without reacting: "Yuan'er is playing in the house." ”

When Concubine Lu heard this, she raised her voice and called: "Yuan'er? And walked directly indoors, with a posture of looking for it, and at this moment, Yuan'er came out of the house when he heard the sound, and when he saw Concubine Lu, he smiled and shouted crisply: "Eminem, Eminem." ”

The salutations that come out of Yuan'er's mouth are all very simple vowels, much the same, except for me. The word "mother" is too awkward, he can't spit it out, and he doesn't feel appropriate to teach him to call "mother", so he hasn't been around anyway, so he didn't go out of his way to teach.

As soon as Concubine Lu saw Xiao Yuan'er come out, she immediately seemed to change her face, and with a smile I had never seen before, she took two steps forward and bent down to hug Yuan'er. Yuan'er is also a little slippery, hugging Concubine Lu's neck, she went up and kissed her face, the chirp was very loud, and then she shouted: "Eminem." ”

Concubine Lu smiled spontaneously, hugged Xiao Yuan'er and looked at it carefully for a while, then turned her eyes, "Why are the children thin?" ”

I was stunned, was there?

Concubine Lu said again: "It's still good in the palace, not to mention the spaciousness of the place, and the food is also fine, which is like your coarse tea and light rice here, according to the palace, it is better to let Yuan'er go to me." ”

I can be polite and don't care about other things, but this matter is not good, and I immediately replied: "When my daughter-in-law was away before, thanks to the mother and grandfather to take care of Yuan'er, now that I have returned, I will no longer bother my mother." ”

After hearing this, Concubine Lu looked back and asked the person in her arms: "Yuan'er, do you want to follow Eminem?" ”

Yuan'er replied crisply: "Yes." ”

My face changed, she couldn't do this! The child's wishes only follow the mood at the time, it is normal for him to miss Concubine Lu if he hasn't seen Concubine Lu for so long, but he can't use this as an excuse to take him away.

But Concubine Lu seemed to mean that, and her eyes swept over and she was assertive: "Did you hear that?" Yuan'er also likes to be with the palace, this matter is so decided, you can come to the palace to visit the palace every day. ”

When I saw Concubine Lu's words, I turned around to leave, and I couldn't help but be anxious, "Wait a minute, concubine." ”

But not only Concubine Lu, but even the people she brought with her all followed without saying a word. Yan Qi's feet moved and wanted to block it, but I stopped him with a look, but he couldn't stop it! Everyone else can do it, but this is Concubine Lu. But I couldn't help chasing, and when I chased out the door, I saw Concubine Lu who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and I was blocked by everyone and couldn't see the front clearly, so I only restrained my nervous voice and asked: "Mother, please give me Yuan'er, okay?" ”

At this time, there was only one thought in my mind: if Yuan'er was taken away, it would be difficult to bring it back.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the front: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”

I moved slightly, turned my perspective, and saw the two grandparents and grandchildren walking a foot away in the cracks of the people. I haven't seen him for many days, and when I see him again, I seem to feel strange through such a distance, he is wearing a white robe with gold edges, and the white hosta pulls up his hair, and his eyes are calm and clueless, as if he saw me behind the crowd, and it seems that he didn't find it.

restrained his gaze and turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang who was walking together. At first glance, I felt that the old emperor still maintained his original steady pace, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of faltering, and it looks even more old.

It seems to be true that he has had a few serious illnesses before, and it is not easy for him to come out and move around.

Concubine Lu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang dared to act arbitrarily again, so she immediately put down Yuan'er Fu and saluted and asked respectfully: "Father, why do you have time to come?" Zhu Yuanzhang paused down, frowned slightly, and said, "I came over to see Xiao Yuan'er, what are you going to do in such a big battle?" ”

Concubine Lu paused and bowed her head and replied: "The daughter-in-law also came to see Xiao Yuan'er, and she wanted to take Xiao Yuan'er to walk around the neighborhood and go to your palace to greet you." When she came to Zhu Yuanzhang, she didn't dare to make a mistake, and she said all the words of Yingying.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to break it, but said: "I don't need to send it over when I come, let's go back to Lanyuan and sit down." ”

Concubine Lu hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Since Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to enter the Orchid Garden, he went first, and the rest of the people got out of the way, so I became the "roadblocker" standing alone in the center, Zhu Yuanzhang only saw me at this time, and when his eyes fell on me, he spoke before me: "Why are you so thin?" ”

Just one sentence of inquiry made my nose suddenly sour, this is not an emperor's tone to his subordinates, but an elder's concern and greeting to his juniors. This most majestic emperor in the eyes of the world is just an ordinary old man to me.

I bowed lightly, and then replied, "Imperial Grandfather, I'm afraid you don't think so much because you haven't seen me for a while, but I'm not thin." But Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "Don't bluff me, I still have this bit of eyesight." Alright, let's talk in first, I miss the tea you made. ”

"Tea is always available." I stepped back and gave way to the doorway.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked in first, and ...... Ah Ping walked behind, and when he passed by me, his footsteps did not pause, and when I raised my eyes, I only saw the long figure holding Yuan'er in his arms and had entered the gate of Orchid Garden.

A group of people sat down in the hall, I took the tea leaves to boil water and scald the tea cups, and the tea making process was more cumbersome, and they were joking with Xiao Yuan'er during the waiting period. When I delivered the brewed tea to Zhu Yuanzhang first, he suddenly tapped his fingers on the table twice and said, "Yuan'er's first birthday is coming." ”

I sighed in my heart and replied, "There are three days left." ”

How many pairs of eyes are watching Yuan'er's birth, even if I want to hide it, it is impossible, not to mention that the entire Orchid Garden is beaming with joy arranged by me. Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea and praised the good tea, and then said: "This is Yuan'er's first birthday, you and Ping'er are also here, and the palace has not been lively for a long time, so let's hold a birthday banquet." ”

"But......" I was just about to open my mouth when I was cut off by Ah Ping, who had been silent after entering the door: "Grandfather Huang just didn't mention it, and I was about to tell you that I missed many important days of Yuan'er's 100 days and half a year old when I went out on an expedition before, and I should hold a grand event for him when he is the first birthday." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Well, it should be so." Then it's up to you. ”

Concubine Lu interjected at this time: "Father, Yan'er is busy with government affairs, so it's better to let the courtiers and daughters-in-law be responsible for this kind of banquet." But it was rejected by Ah Ping: "The mother concubine doesn't need to worry, the sons will not take care of things beyond their capabilities, and this time they also want to compensate Yuan'er." Zhu Yuanzhang also said: "Don't worry, Ping'er already has the ability to take charge on her own." ”

In this way, Concubine Lu didn't dare to have any more objections, and she also shut up. She has been operating in the palace for decades, and she has reached the stage where she will not show her unhappiness on her face, so her eyes at this moment show relief.

Yuan'er sat impatiently on his father's lap, managed to slip down, and then walked towards me with a fart, and when he came to me, he slammed into me. Fortunately, I was prepared, and stretched out my hand to hug him, but I heard him mutter: "Lan." ”

I was slightly stunned, suspecting that my ears had misheard, and when I picked him up and sat on my lap, I saw him grin at me and shout clearly, "Lan-"

All the eyes in the room were fixed on me, wanting not to be affected, but I couldn't control the afterglow to feel that one, so I even held Yuan'er's hand trembling slightly. It was Zhu Yuanzhang who broke the silence, "This kid is with his mother." ”

I smiled lightly and raised my eyes: "He's a thief, he smiles at everyone, and he usually talks about either 'master' or 'm'." ”

Seeing that whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Concubine Lu, there was joy in their expressions, and it seemed to be a very proud thing for them to be remembered by such a young baby. I put Xiao Yuan'er back on the ground and patted him on his little buttocks, and he went to cover his ass and angrily accused me: "Bad-bad-"

This time he staggered towards his grandfather, and after being picked up by Zhu Yuanzhang, he went to pull his beard, which made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh happily and said: "Your mother didn't say anything wrong about you, a thief is also a thief." ”

After coaxing Xiao Yuan'er to amuse herself, Concubine Lu also got up when Zhu Yuanzhang got up, and finally no one wanted to take Xiao Yuan'er away again. I stopped when I arrived at the door, and when I turned around, Yan Qi looked at me disapprovingly: "Now our plan has come to naught again, why don't you leave Gongzi to have a good talk with him?" ”

"It's the emperor's first birthday banquet, even if he has the heart to oppose it, he can't change it, and it won't help to stay."

Yan Qi stomped his feet, with a look of hatred: "I asked you to talk to Gongzi about other things, finally he came back to Lanyuan, if you don't keep him, do you want to continue the cold war with him to the end?" Do you know that you will suffer in this way? ”

I looked at him calmly and said softly: "Only those who care will suffer, and I prefer hot war to cold war, so I didn't fight with him in cold war." ”
