236. For a lifetime

I put the bronze mirror down and closed it, and said, "Now I'll put this mirror here, and then I will change it, and there will be someone in it who looks exactly like you." Now we're going to take off this pink skirt first, okay? This time he replied with a crisp voice: "Okay." ”

There was no need for me to persuade him anymore, he was very cooperative when he took off his skirt, and helped him take the pink strap on the top of his head to get back to his original hairstyle, and then pressed the bronze mirror and said, "Xiao Yuan'er, don't blink your eyes, the time has come to witness the miracle." ”

Picking up the bronze mirror and facing him, he was happy again when he found himself in the mirror, and his little hand pointed to it and motioned to me to look at it. I pretended not to recognize it and said, "Who is this, how do you look so good?" ”

Yuan'er pointed her little hand on the mirror, as if she was trying to find a way to hold the hand of the person in the mirror.

I couldn't help but be amused when I saw it, and went up and scratched his nose lightly, "Silly boy." Then the silly boy caught my attention and raised his eyes and giggled at me. I went to scratch his nose again, and I called out "silly boy" again, and he laughed happily again.

The child is so innocent, a simple game can be played all the time, and his laughter can be heard in the house. It wasn't until Yun Gu came in to call for dinner that Xiao Yuan'er's attention shifted again, but this time he was no longer in a hurry to ask Yun Gu to hug him, so he grinned and beckoned: "Come, come, come." ”

Yun Gu looked at us in amazement, and said to me in some disbelief, "Your Royal Highness has changed so much. ”

I'll laugh in my heart, yes, it's changed so much, I've grown into a silly boy who can talk, walk, and lose his temper. Did he learn this stupidity from his father?

However, I ignored the child's temperament, which was fine at this time, but when it was time to eat, it was noisy again, he didn't like to eat the mashed potatoes that Yungu specially prepared for him, so he cried on the mission. He was crying and sobbing, his face was full of tears, and he was looking at me with tears in his eyes, meaning that he wanted me to save him.

I have no experience with others, and I don't know what to do, but after hesitation, Xiao Yuan'er has already let go of her voice and cried, for fear that she thinks that I will not help him. Yun Gu explained to me that the child may be very squeamish when he arrives in front of his mother, and that mashed potatoes with egg yolk are his favorite, and every time he eats it, it is not enough. He can't eat the hard ones now, but he can only eat these soft ones, and if he wants to eat the fish, he has to pick out all the thorns. Later, when I walked away to the courtyard, I heard the crying in the house gradually stop.

I also feel helpless, I saw Xiao Yuan'er crying just now and really wanted to pick him up, and if he didn't eat it, he would change to other food, but Aunt Yun is a person who is used to taking care of children, and she only knows how to take care of children better than me.

When I walked in again, I found that Yuan'er was already lying in Yun Gu's arms and fell asleep, and the small half bowl of mashed potatoes from before had been eaten. I motioned for me to hug her, but when Yun Gu was about to hand it over, Yuan'er grabbed her shirt with her little hand, and twitched as if she was crying. I had to give up and let Yun Gu hug her for a while and then put her in the bed to sleep.

Yun Gu withdrew and whispered to me: "Now that Niangniang is back, you can accompany His Royal Highness every day, and he will get close to you quickly, so Niangniang don't have to worry." ”

I looked at the little man and shook his head and said, "I'm not too worried, if he still beats me up like he did when he first saw me, make sure he is obedient." Yun Gu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Niang Niang is reluctant to do anything to His Royal Highness." ”

But I don't say anything, Aunt Yun doesn't understand me, and if I really annoy me, I will definitely slap his ass. People say that girls are pampered, and boys should be coarse, not so delicate, and they have to be beaten when they should be beaten.

I didn't let Aunt Yun come to help at night, and after bathing Xiao Yuan'er, I played in bed late again, and this kid couldn't eat and fell asleep. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found that Yuan'er had indeed kicked off the quilt, I had just covered him and was kicked again, touched his forehead and sweat, wiped it with a cloth towel and then used a fan to fan him gently, but I didn't kick the quilt again.

After a few days like this, Xiao Yuan'er finally got close to me, and he also loved to stick to me, but I felt that he was annoyed, and he came to me for everything, and he didn't even let Yan Qi do anything to wipe his mouth, so angry that Yan Qi stared. On the contrary, Changning and Yuan'er got along, and Changning was also very protective of Xiao Yuan'er, holding his hand when leading him to the vegetable field.

The peaceful days seem to be peaceful, but both Yun Gu and Yan Qi will often stop talking to me, I know what they want to say, but they don't break the barrier. But this day, Yan Qi still couldn't help but come to me and ask, "Why hasn't Childe come back to Lanyuan these days?" I replied calmly: "He has official business to do." ”

Yan Qi frowned, "But no matter how busy you are, you won't be so busy that you won't have time to come back to sleep for a few days in a row." ”

I said, "It may be that the emperor has a lot of official documents for him to correct overnight, so he stays there and has to rush back and forth." ”

Yan Qishen glanced at me, didn't say anything more and turned to leave. I've known him for more than two years, and although I often quarrel with him after being loyal to Ah Ping, it doesn't mean that we don't get along, and I can feel his sincere concern for me. Even if he dared to come to me to question this matter, Yun Gu didn't dare to speak even if he had doubts.

I sighed lightly, a great storm was brewing behind the calm appearance, and the only thing I could do was to get away from the core of the storm and hope that Orchid Garden would be a place of peace.

But what should come will come after all, and I can't avoid it.

On this day, I was taking a nap with Yuan'er, and suddenly I heard a noise outside the house, frowned and listened carefully, it seemed that someone was arguing. There are only two or three people in Lan Yuan, how can they quarrel?

I put on my coat and walked out to take a look, but I saw that Yan Qi, Yun Gu and Changning were all blocked at the door, and it seemed that they were arguing with the people outside. I walked over, but I saw a few palace ladies dressed up and palace people outside, and there was a sedan chair behind them, and I could vaguely see someone sitting in it. I only heard one of the palace ladies shouting: "What are you doing here? My master came to greet your mother, how can you say that you were rejected like this? Is this the hospitality of your Orchid Garden? "This woman looks like a big palace maid.

Yun Gu is gentle and kind, and she is not good at arguing with others, but Yan Qi is a poisonous tongue, so she only heard him sneer and say, "Hospitality? We didn't say we invited you to come, and we never accept uninvited people. ”

I smiled secretly, it seems that I don't need to come forward, Yan Qi can block the comer. But just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a soft shout from behind him: "Sister Lan, please stay." ”

I was the only one who could be called this title in this realm, and when I turned around, I saw that the curtain at the sedan chair was lifted from the inside, revealing a thin white hand. Immediately, the sedan chair was also lowered to the ground, and a figure walked out of it, it should be that the other party saw me in the door through the crowd at a high place just now.

As the palace ladies got out of the way, a gorgeously dressed girl appeared in the field of vision, and the peach pink set off her beautiful face more and more white. At this time, Yan Qi and Yun Gu also found out that I came out, and let go of the way slightly.

After bending her knees at me for a moment, the girl got up and said softly: "I have long been famous for Sister Lan's style, and I have never come to ask my sister for peace, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

I'm not going to beat around the bush and ask straight to the point, "Who are you?" ”

The big palace maid beside her immediately responded: "Hui Niangniang, this is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, and now she is living in the palace, and she will marry His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun in the near future, and she will be named the jade side concubine." ”

Yan Qi took a step ahead of me and scolded bluntly: "Nonsense! How could His Highness ......?"

"Little Seven." I shouted out his words, and said to the person outside the door with an expressionless face: "Please be excused, I don't ask about the affairs of the palace, if you have any needs, go to the imperial grandson." In the other room, my son is taking a nap, so I won't receive these many people, so Miss Yu, please go back. "Since I haven't been married, I can't be counted as a side concubine, and I don't need to be commensurate with her sister. I thought sarcastically.

"It's really my sister's fault, and I didn't let someone report to Sister Lan first. Since it is inconvenient for His Royal Highness to take a nap today, my sister will come to visit my sister another day. The jade girl was not in front of her, still speaking gently.

I smiled, turned away without comment, and walked straight into the room only to realize that the view that was perched on my back was cut off.

I went to see Yuan'er first, and saw that the kid was still sleeping soundly, but he was not disturbed by the disputes outside, and couldn't help but think to him: It's better for him, he can live a heartless life innocently.

Coming out of the inner room, Yun Gu was already waiting outside, and Changning was standing by the door uneasily, except for Yan Qi. I raised my eyebrows and asked, "What about Xiao Qi?" Yun Gu replied to me: "He said to go to His Highness." ”

Nodding, Yan Qi is indeed this temper.

This time, Yun Gu couldn't help but say to me: "Niangniang, what do you think about this today?" ”

"What can I do? Now that everyone has come to say goodbye, it's a sure thing. ”

"Huh? Your Highness is really going to marry a side concubine? Yun Gu's eyes widened, her face was incredulous, and she said with a sigh in her mouth: "I thought that Your Highness loved you so much that she would guard you for the rest of your life." ”

I couldn't help laughing and whispered the four words: "A lifetime ......"

Yun Gu's eyes shrank, "Niangniang, I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask these things to make you sad." ”

I shook my head, "It's fine. "It's impossible to say that my mood doesn't fluctuate, but how can I blame the people around me, it's not them who make me sad. Yun Gu said that the life of a lifetime, if it is in an ordinary family, it may be there, but in the inner courtyard of this palace...... It's a luxury.

Yan Qi came back in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, Yun Gu stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He looked at me and turned his head in silence with an ugly expression. I took a sip of tea and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?" Yan Qi looked back, "The woman who came just now is the daughter of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu named Qin Liangyu, and she will marry Gongzi as a side concubine in three days." I said, "That's what I already knew, tell me what I don't know." ”

Yan Qiyi gritted his teeth and said: "Not only this Qin Liangyu, but also Li Lin, the daughter of the household, has also entered the palace. Childe has not stayed at the emperor's side for the past few days, he lives in his own dormitory, and the Ah Lan brought back from the mountain village has now become Childe's concubine. ”

There was a sharp pain at the tip of the heart, as if it had been pierced by a needle.

After a pause, I asked softly, "Did you see him?" ”

"See." Yan Qi replied to me sullenly, and then there was no follow-up. I had to ask again, "What did he say?" Yan Qi's raised eyes were dazed and confused: "I feel that Gongzi is like a different person, and he has a light attitude towards me, I asked him to come back to Lanyuan to talk to you, but he scolded me to come back immediately." ”

Hearing this, I didn't ask again, I could imagine the scene at that time, and I could also think that Yan Qi definitely didn't just ask these things, but there were some things he couldn't say in front of me.
