There was a shadow running out of the door, the slim five princesses wore a auspicious dress to welcome her sister, but they threw themselves in her arms, Princess Rongxian was knocked back a few steps, and the bridesmaidens were busy hugging up to help, and they all smiled and said: "The princess is going to enter the door to salute Concubine Rong, and she can't delay the time to leave the palace." ”

Rong Xian didn't care too much, and after standing firm, he touched his sister's head and said, "Why are you coquettish now?" You, you have to be better in the future, you are a big girl. Don't always quarrel with your fourth sister, your third sister can't stand to fight, don't bully her, don't bully her sisters, Xiao Chen'er is so well-behaved, don't take her badly. Do you hear that? ”

"Sister, don't go." Wen Xian held back for a long time, but cried like this.

But seeing Concubine De coming out of the door, and seeing that her daughter was really here to delay Rong Xian's entry into the door, she came up and pulled her away, while straightening out Rong Xian's clothes, and said gently: "Go in, your mother is waiting for you." ”

Rong Xian nodded tearfully, but took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to his sister who shed tears, and then followed Xi Niang to the gate of Jingyang Palace, Lan Qi pulled her daughter to stand aside, took the handkerchief Rong Xian gave her, wiped the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "Didn't you tell E-Niang that you will marry far away in the future, and you will be reluctant to give up your sister at this time?" ”

Wen Xian completely forgot that he had been so excited, and at this moment he only knew the sadness of separation, and fell softly on his mother's shoulder to be coquettish, whimpering: "I don't want it, I want to stay by Eniang's side." ”

Lan Qi booed her daughter, told her to be quiet, and whispered: "Today is a good day for my sister to get married, only my sister can shed tears, you can't cry, and I'll reason with you when I turn around." kissed his daughter and coaxed her in her ear, "Wen Xian is not going anywhere, is it okay to stay with Eniang all the time?" ”

The little girl whimpered and agreed, soft and not as domineering and rude as usual, the older she is, the more she looks like her daughter's family, Lan Qi naturally likes it and feels distressed, holding her hand and entering the door, saying don't miss the good time of Sister Rong Xian.

In the main hall of Jingyang Palace, Concubine Rong sat on the top in court clothes, and her daughter who had been raised for 18 years got married today, and when the rules and etiquette in the capital were done, she was going to go to the grassland, and I don't know how many times I could see her in this life. Thinking of this, Concubine Rong couldn't help but feel sad, and watched her daughter make a big gift in front of her, tears welled up in her eyes.

Everyone present was moved, but there will be more and more such scenes in the future, Lan Qi saw Bu Guiren with tears in her eyes, she knew that it would be Duanjing's turn next year, and looked down at her daughter, how many years is Wen Xian's turn?

After more than ten years, there are fewer and fewer children in the palace who can chirp and make noise, and they will change back to the cold appearance of the past. The people of Pingtou can still have fun with their grandchildren at home, but where can they take their grandchildren so casually in the palace, there are obviously the most noble people in the world living in this high wall, but they live a life that is more involuntary than anyone else.

"E-niang." At this time, Wen Xian shouted, Lan Qi lowered her head and asked her what she was going to do, and her daughter said gently, "I want to go back to Yonghe Palace to see Xiao Chen'er, she is going to be lonely alone, she is afraid of taking medicine." ”

The youngest daughter was uncomfortable in the morning, probably because she was crazy last night, Lan Qi asked Huanchun and the nurse to take her to rest in Yonghe Palace and couldn't come to watch the ceremony, but her sister loved her, and she was worried about her little sister when it was lively at this time.

Lan Qi promised: "Go to Ningshou Palace at lunchtime, and E-Niang will be waiting for you at the imperial grandmother's." ”

When the Rongxian ceremony is completed, Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui will arrange the promotion ceremony of several palace concubines together, today can be regarded as a joy and joy, An Guiren is naturally Concubine Rong and they will take care of it, Lan Qi herself is going to Yanxi Palace to congratulate Xing'er on becoming Min Chang.

There are not many people in this wave of promotion, most of them are people with years in the palace, and only Zhang Jia's family has won the title of emperor, Lan Qi himself doesn't care, but in the eyes of others, the words that come out say that Zhang Jia's family is similar to Concubine De's former situation. At the beginning, when Concubine De Niangniang was often in Jin to seal nobles, she was the only one with the title of "De", as for Concubine Wen at that time, her word "Wen" was only because there was "Wen" in her name, which was the title that people in the palace had been accustomed to for so many years, not her title.

But Lan Qi knew that the title of Xing'er was the result of her and Sister Rong's discussion with the Queen Mother, and it had nothing to do with the emperor, but her treatment at the beginning was all Xuan Ye's mind, and she understood the difference in her own heart, which was enough.

Here, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui came together to congratulate Concubine An, Concubine An didn't expect that she could still have this blessing, the difference between the concubine and the nobles is too big, and her own treatment in the palace will be very different in the future, even with the family can get benefits, after more than 20 years, she finally got out.

Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi had some polite words with her, and then she entertained guests in her own room, the two of them were too lazy to stay in this small place, and they went out together to go to Ningshou Palace first, talking on the way, Concubine Hui smiled at Concubine Yi: "You see that they are so enthusiastic now, I really don't know what happened to you in those years." ”

Concubine Yi knew what Concubine Hui meant, but she didn't want to be ridiculed for being blind, so she sneered disdainfully: "Her daughter is still raised in Yikun Palace, what does she dare to do to be sorry for me?" But if you have milk, you are a mother, and Concubine De is good to her now, and she thinks it is more reliable there, and it is understandable. Good birds choose trees to perch, and Sister Concubine Hui can't see through this? ”

Leaving these words, Concubine Yi walked away, Concubine Hui immediately looked at her pretending to be proud, and sneered: "You were sold and helped count the money, you are so stupid, it is tantamount to the way to survive in this palace, it is too stupid, people disdain to be enemies with you." ”

And the princess got married, the concubine was promoted, and the Forbidden City was lively all day, and there was joy in the corners and corners, and there were many things in a mess, and no one cared much about the people entering and leaving the palace. The fourth elder brother led a few brothers and sisters to play in Chengqian Palace, and when the princess turned around and left, no one cared about one more or less, and the eighth elder brother stayed in Chengqian Palace like that.

At this moment, Yinxi was staying alone in the fourth brother's room, the child in auspicious clothes was a little nervous, suddenly the door was pushed open, he stood up immediately, and saw the beautiful Juezen nobleman coming in with a food box, she closed the door with her backhand, looked at the eighth brother with a smile and said, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

The eighth elder brother shook his head, his eyes were fixed on his mother, and when he saw her walk to the table, he unfolded the food boxes one by one, and said softly: "Today, Min Chang is in Yanxi Palace, and he can't help but entertain guests, I have nothing to congratulate Min Chang on being there, so I made a snack and asked her to set up refreshments, bring some over, and let you taste it." ”

"You made it yourself?" The eighth elder brother asked, a ten-year-old boy can still look at dim sum with his eyes shining, but he has grown up for more than ten years and has never eaten a bite of food made by his mother.

Juezen smiled and said, "Want to taste it?" ”

"Hmm." Yinxi agreed, sat down at the table, Jue Chan brought him a bowl of tea, sat on the side, and persuaded with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

The eighth elder brother will not show an ugly appearance, he has always been the most polite and gentle child among the brothers, he quietly ate two pieces of dim sum, glanced at Jue Chan from time to time, and took a piece of mung bean cake, he couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother said you want to see me." ”

Juechan's chin bowed: "These days in Yanxi Palace, I am helping Min Chang to take care of the little princess, I think of you when you were a child, and we were still in Xianfu Palace at that time. When I was about to make snacks yesterday, I thought that I had never done anything for you, so I begged the fourth elder brother to arrange today's affairs. ”

The eighth elder brother pursed his mouth and did not speak, although the mother and son were still not intimate, but today the Juezen nobleman did not politely call himself the eighth elder brother, and came to see him, and even sent a snack made by himself, no matter how smart a ten-year-old child is, he is still a child after all, and the eighth elder brother is still a child who longs for mother's love all year round.

The noble man Juechan looked at his son, and directly called his name and said: "Yinxi, I came here to see you, don't tell Concubine Hui, maybe you complain in your heart that I didn't do anything to you, but that's not your fault, let alone mine." There are many words to explain, but if you talk too much, you will only think that I am making excuses and perfunctory, and when you grow up in the future, you will naturally understand. ”

The eighth elder brother nodded, slowly eating the mung bean cake in his hand, and his mother said in his ear: "There will always be a chance to meet in the future, we are not sneaky, we just don't want to cause trouble to others, if you are bored, just tell me directly, I just want to do my best to be a mother." ”

Yinxi nodded again, finished eating the snacks in his hand, his mother brought tea to him, he drank the warm tea with both hands, and then stared at the tea soup, and said softly: "Can I call you Eniang?" ”

Jue Chan smiled: "Of course you can, I was originally your mother." ”

Yinxi suddenly raised his head and asked with a little resentment: "Then why were you so indifferent to me before?" ”

Juezen replied calmly: "Because I don't want you to be bullied in Changchun Palace, these truths, you can understand when you grow up, I don't want to bother to explain, that is also my pride and self-esteem as a mother." ”

The eighth elder brother didn't seem to understand much, but he understood what kind of life he had spent in Changchun Palace, and the words of the noble Juezen were obviously reasonable, but he couldn't accept it, and he had always hoped to get his mother's love.

"E-niang." Yin Yu spoke.

Juechan's expression was sluggish, why did she hear her son calling her mother, there was not a trace of ripples in her heart, I heard that Concubine De and Xing'er were so moved when they heard the child shout "Eniang" for the first time, why didn't she even feel a little heartbeat.

But her hesitant and puzzled look became "moved" in the eyes of the eighth elder brother, the child had a smile on his face, and shouted Eniang, praising his mother's good craftsmanship, saying that these pastries were the sweetest he had ever eaten, and finally asked his mother wistfully: "Next time, when will Eniang come to see me again?" ”

Jue Chan woke up, looked at the child in front of him in confusion, and kept asking in his heart: Is he really my child?
