Chapter Eighty-Five: Three Years
When a holy decree quietly reached King Mu's mansion, it happened to break the gloomy atmosphere of the entire palace, and the few servants in the palace cheered almost with tears in their eyes.
The old housekeeper Qin Bo carefully held the holy decree, and burst into tears excitedly: "It's been three years, Your Majesty finally remembered the prince, it's really God's eyes." β
The cheering voices of the slaves suddenly fell silent, and their faces were full of grievances and melancholy.
Mu Wangfu is located in the north street of the imperial city, compared with some wilderness towns, it is definitely in the prosperity of the times, but the whole palace seems to be completely forgotten, and has nothing to do with prosperity.
Even if someone thinks of King Mu and King Mu's Mansion, it is just a flash of indifference, and people who have more thoughts are nothing more than making an inconsequential conclusion in their hearts: King Mu, King Mu's Mansion, an abandoned son.
In this huge imperial city, all the hustle and bustle is unscrupulous, floating inside and outside. Only Mu Wangfu is very quiet, so quiet that it is a little lifeless, like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
This decree was like a pebble falling on the surface of a quiet lake, and the whole palace rippled.
But the master of the palace was lying on the ground without an image at this time, his face was also stained with the dirt he got out of nowhere, tilting his head and looking at Qin Bo and the others curiously.
Only a child-like mind does not understand all kinds of tastes.
Qin Yu was mixed with joy and sorrow in his heart, and suddenly found Huangfu Jingming lying on the ground at some point, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly reached out to help, and said in his mouth: "Lord Wang, lying on the ground like this will get a cold, get up quickly." β
Huangfu Jingming ignored Qin Yu completely, a pair of bright big eyes turned to the holy decree at once, his eyes lit up, pushed Qin Yu away, jumped up, stretched out his hand and snatched the holy decree in his hand, and shouted excitedly: "Kite, fly a kite." β
Ran to the backyard while yelling.
This robbery frightened Qin Bo and the others, this is the holy decree, if the holy decree is broken, you will be killed.
"Ah Yu, hurry up and stop the prince, but you must keep the holy decree." Qin Bo trembled in a trembling voice and said in a trembling voice.
Qin Yu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly chased after Huangfu Jingming.
The others also blocked their own people under the instruction of Uncle Qin.
King Mu's mansion is a mess here, but Yiluo Palace in the palace is a quiet and joyful atmosphere.
Xu Liangdi received the holy decree that King Mu was coming to see her, and remembered that in the past three years, she always thought about when she could see Huangfu Jingming, even if she died, she was satisfied.
She also thought about going over to ask Emperor Honghua, but every time she thought of her identity, the identity of Huangfu Jingming, she gave up this idea, and just waited blindly.
Now this day has finally arrived.
Xu Liangdi's fingers caressed the azure brocade clothes resting on her lap, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Niangniang, the prince wants to enter the palace to meet Niangniang, Niangniang should be happy." When a maid entered the house with a snack, she happened to see Xu Liangdi, who was secretly wiping her tears, and couldn't help but comfort her.
Xu Liangdi wiped her tears, her red lips opened lightly, and she sighed: "Rou'er, I haven't seen Jingming in this palace for three whole years, three whole years, such a long time, I don't know how to spend it now when I think about it." With that, the tears that had just been wiped away came out of my eyes again.
Seeing this, Rou'er hurriedly said: "Niangniang, don't be sad, if the prince comes and sees Niangniang so sad, I will feel uncomfortable." β
"Yes, yes, Rou'er, you're right, you can't let Jingming see this palace like this." Xu Liangdi hurriedly wiped her tears, and said with a smile, "Rou'er, wash up for the palace, the palace must be happy to see Jingming." β
"The slave obeys." Rou'er happily waited for Xu Liangdi to wash.
Under Rou'er's careful service, Xu Liangdi rarely painted the Qingtang makeup that she has always loved but is not often painted, and put on the ancient smoke pattern Bixia Luo dress that she has never been willing to wear, and the outer cover is a brocade fox fur cloak, which makes her whole person more outstanding than before.
"Niangniang is so beautiful, if the prince sees Niangniang, he will definitely be happy." Rou'er straightened the hem of Xu Liangdi's clothes, and said in a happy voice.
Xu Liangdi smiled softly and said, "Are Jingming's favorite osmanthus cakes, chestnut cakes, ruyi rolls, and lily lotus seed soup ready?" β
"Back to my mother, I'm ready."
Xu Liangdi nodded with great satisfaction, and said: "There are also clothes and shoes sewn by the palace for Jingming, you must prepare them well, don't miss them." β
Rou'er said: "Don't worry, the slave prepared it herself, there will be no problem." β
"Rou'er is doing things, and this palace is naturally relieved." Xu Liangdi said softly, "What time is it?" β
"Back to Niangniang, it's three o'clock now."
When Xu Liangdi heard this, her eyes lit up, like stars on a cold night, and she couldn't hide her joy in her voice: "The hour is coming, Rou'er, hurry up and prepare for it." β
Rou'er took the order and left.
Xu Liangdi thought that she was about to see Huangfu Jingming, a child she regarded as a parent, she was uneasy for a while, and she was a little restless, so she simply opened the door curtain directly, stood in the wind and snow, and let the cold wind blow Fang Jue's heart calmed down a little. So she stood in the cold wind with the stove in her hand, and looked at the palace gate without blinking, waiting for the arrival of the person she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Rou'er carefully explained the matter again, and when she came back, she saw Xu Liangdi standing in the wind and snow, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly took a cloak out of the house, put it on for Xu Liangdi, and exclaimed: "Niangniang, it's cold and snowy outside, be careful of catching a cold, go into the house quickly." β
Xu Liangdi shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's safer to wait here in this palace." β
"Mother's Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Xu Liangdi shook her head, and her stubborn expression made Rou'er stop.
Rou'er naturally understood the emotions in Xu Liangdi's heart, and she didn't say anything at the moment, so she accompanied her master in the wind and snow.
After the time of half a pillar of incense, a report from the palace people suddenly came from the palace gate: "King Mu has arrived." β
Xu Liangdi was overjoyed when she heard this, and she was about to meet her as soon as she moved, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Rou'er, quickly help the palace into the house." β
"Yes." Rou'er was quite steady and helped Xu Liangdi into the house.
Xu Liangdi sat upright, the door curtain was lifted, a gust of cold wind came to his face, and at the same time, a tall figure pounced.
"Mother." With a cheering voice, the tall figure instantly hugged Xu Liangdi.
"Jingming." The person in his arms was cold because he was in a hurry, and even the wetness and coolness of the snow water on his clothes, but Xu Liangdi didn't care, reached out and hugged the person in his arms tightly, and choked up, "Jingming, my child, my mother finally saw you." After that, he cried with joy.
"Mother, I miss you." Huangfu Jingming hugged Xu Liangdi, pouted, and looked like he wanted to cry.
"My mother misses you too, and my mother thinks about you all the time." Xu Liangdi couldn't help but burst into tears.
The two are like long-separated relatives in ordinary people's homes, hugging and crying without scruples again, sharing the joy of meeting.
In fact, regardless of the imperial power, wealth, status and status, everyone is an ordinary person, and every love is an ordinary feeling, but some people refuse to admit it.
Only they have gone through the vicissitudes of the world, life and death, one is transparent, the other is stupid, regardless of their status and status, they express the emotions that ordinary people should have.
However, born in the emperor's family, and in this huge palace with strict rules, such a reunion and embracing each other has already violated the so-called etiquette.
But at this moment, let's ignore the etiquette for now.
Seeing this scene on the side, Rou'er remembered the suffering and separation of the two over the years, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Jingming, I haven't seen you for three years, how are you?" After the two of them were emotionally stable, Xu Liangdi gently pushed away Huangfu Jingming's body, looked at his handsome but aggrieved face, and asked in a soft voice.
Huangfu Jingming's face was full of grievances, pouted, shook his head, and said, "It's not good, it's not good." β
Xu Liangdi felt a sour feeling in her heart when she heard this, her tears couldn't control her tears, and she sighed softly: "Jingming, my mother is sorry for you." β
"My mother doesn't cry, I'm good, I'm good, my mother doesn't cry." Huangfu Jingming saw Xu Liangdi crying, and hurriedly comforted her clumsily, and reached out to wipe away her tears.
But Xu Liangdi didn't care, took his hand and smiled: "Okay, my mother doesn't cry." β
Huangfu Jingming smirked at this time. This smile made Xu Liangdi stunned again.
This child was so smart and wise back then, but now he has become so demented and demented, no one who sees it will never believe that this is His Royal Highness King Mu, who has a noble status.
Rou'er saw that the two of them were in a slightly better mood, so she said: "Lord Wang, Niangniang has prepared your favorite pastries, and the slave will ask someone to bring them up." β
"Pastry." Huangfu Jingming's eyes lit up, and his negative emotions were suddenly swept away, and he grabbed Rou'er's hand and said eagerly, "The pastry is good, I want to eat it." β
Xu Liangdi also put away her emotions, tried the tears, and said with a smile: "Jingming, don't worry, the pastries will come soon." As soon as the words fell, three maidservants came with pastries.
When Huangfu Jingming saw that it was really his favorite pastry, he screamed excitedly, reached out and couldn't wait to grab a few pieces of chestnut crisp and send it to his mouth, muttering vaguely while eating: "Delicious, delicious, heheΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Xu Liangdi's heart was soft, and she waved her hand to let the maids retreat, her eyes were full of love and pity, and she said softly: "Eat slowly." β
Huangfu Jingming suddenly stopped his movements, looked at Xu Liangdi, reached out and handed over the pastry in his hand, and said earnestly: "Mother, you can eat it too." β
The pastry he handed over had already been bitten by him, but Xu Liangdi didn't care, reached out to take it, took a bite, and smiled gently: "It's delicious." β
Huangfu Jingming suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and gave Rou'er another piece.
Rou'er naturally took it without disgust.
The atmosphere in the room was peaceful and warm, and suddenly the sharp voice of the palace person came: "Your Majesty has arrived." β
Xu Liangdi was stunned, but she regained her composure in an instant, got up gently, straightened her clothes, and said softly to Huangfu Jingming: "Jingming, don't eat, will you accompany your mother to see your father first?" As he spoke, he took the pastry from his hand and wiped the crumbs from his hand with a handkerchief.
"Father?" Huangfu Jingming asked a little blankly, and let Xu Liangdi wipe his fingers for him.
Xu Liangdi smiled, her voice was softer, and said, "Yes, if you don't go to see your father, your mother will never see you again next time, and you won't see your mother again." β
When Huangfu Jingming heard this, his expression flinched, as if he was frightened by her words, and nodded again and again: "I want to see my father, I want to see my mother." β
"This is my mother's good boy." Xu Liangdi smiled and praised gently.
At this time, the curtain was cold, and Emperor Honghua took Sun Gonggong into the house slowly.
Xu Liangdi also pulled Huangfu Jingming to the ground in a timely manner and bowed down: "The concubine visits Your Majesty." β
