Chapter 2: Returning Home

-->

Walking in the aisle between the palace walls, Meili walked very carefully with every step, for fear that as soon as she relaxed, she would not be able to control herself and run.

It's been two years, and she hasn't stepped out of the dilapidated courtyard of the Hall of Tranquility!

At the small door next to Xihua Gate, she actually saw Ziyu! She almost didn't recognize him, when he followed Sister Ziqing to see her before, she just felt that he had grown up, and now it looked like he had become a strange man. His handsome face remained, but the bearing that was accustomed to controlling power had replaced the youthfulness of his youth. He...... It's so powerful.

She sighed secretly, not just Ziyu, there have been too many things that have happened in the past two years, who is still young?

He was also looking at her, and from his somewhat surprised gaze, Miri knew that he was just as much as she was lamenting how the years had changed them. She nodded and smiled at him, but she didn't know what to say, and the people who should have been familiar with him had been separated for a long time...... There is no topic either.

But Ziyu opened his mouth first, "I heard that you went home today, Ruoyu specially came into the palace with me to see you." Talk to your old butler outside the door. ”

Meili's nose was sour, and finally she still didn't control herself, and quickly ran out of the guarded door, and ran out of the Forbidden City, which had trapped her for more than two years.

Ruoyu turned his back to her and talked to Uncle Hai, Uncle Hai found out first, his expression changed, and his old facial features were wrinkled because of the sudden crying, "Gege!" He didn't care about the courtesy, ran over to Meili, and took her into his arms.

"Uncle Hai!" Meili also hugged him tightly, since he was a child, although Uncle Hai is a subordinate, he single-handedly pulled her to grow up in difficult embarrassment, and his emotions are better than his grandchildren.

"Kid...... You've suffered! Uncle Hai cried so much that he was panting and choking.

Ruoyu also kept wiping her tears with a silk handkerchief, she couldn't bear the two of them to cry like this anymore, she stepped forward and persuaded: "Meili, Uncle Hai, today is a happy day, why don't you keep crying." ”

Uncle Hai also knew that he was out of shape, Fu Meili stood up, choked his throat and said: "Gege, thanks to Ziyu and Belle and his wife for taking care of our house in every way in the past two years, they are really kind people!" ”

Meili knew that the Qianwang Mansion, which was already full of birds, and she was confined, everyone was afraid to avoid it. After Ziqing's sister passed away, Ziyu and Ruoyu came to see her twice, probably because they were dissuaded and couldn't come again. She moved her lips to Ruoyu a few times with tears in her eyes, but she still couldn't say the words of thanks, after all, a "thank you" was too light.

Ruoyu didn't want her to say words of gratitude, but pushed her into the car, "Go home quickly." I'll look back at you! ”

Sitting in the carriage, Meili couldn't help but lift the curtains, looking at the bustling and noisy streets and pedestrians with some greed. The bits and pieces of the cold palace flowed clearly from the bottom of her heart, and the hustle and bustle of the prosperous world in front of her was like a mirage. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and the bitter loneliness that had been endured silently in the past suddenly reverberated under the contrast of the laughter of the city, and it was even more unbearable and intense than being in a dead city.

The palace was not far from the imperial city, and it didn't take long to reach her home after a two-year absence. Uncle Hai stopped outside the main gate with the carriage, and more than 20 people from the palace knelt at the door to welcome the little master back.

Meili looked around at the mansion where she was born and grew up, it was better repaired than before she left, the main entrance and the fence had been renovated and whitewashed, although it could not hide the old age, but it was not as dilapidated as it used to be. She also looked at the people who greeted her one by one, some of whom she knew and some of whom were new.

Uncle Hai whispered in her ear, because she could receive the rent in the past two years, and the life of King Qian's Mansion was really more prosperous than before.

"Uncle Hai, I'll change my clothes, let's go see the old woman's family." Although she paid the price of freedom, she sincerely repented. She looked at the robe given by her ancestors, she had really changed, this was her favorite water red before, and now she was wearing it, this bright color made her very uncomfortable.

"Oh, no. Prince Jingxuan gave the family a lot of money to settle down and let them go back to their hometown to live. ”

Meili listened to it for a while, Uncle Hai hated Jingxuan the most in the past...... Because he caused her to lose face, she chuckled, it was not that he didn't give her face, it was that she herself was shamelessly pestering him. Now that he wants her family property back, and he has cleaned up the trouble she broke into properly, Uncle Hai has changed his opinion of him greatly, he used to be a stinky boy of Jingxuan, I watched him grow up, and now he also calls the prince.

"Well, that's fine." She nodded slowly. "I'm a little tired."

"Oh, oh! Then go back to your room and rest. Uncle Hai hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to take action, each performing his own duties, and he and a little maid who Meili didn't know led the way.

The little maid's name is Jiang Liu, she is only twelve years old, and Uncle Hai heard that she was going to be released and bought a new one, although she is smart and diligent, after all, she is not familiar with it, and she is a little flustered.

Her room was still the same, but it was neatly tidy, and even the bedding was brand new. Meili lay down gently, so soft, such a thick and warm bed...... She hadn't been lying down in a long time. She closed her eyes, but she couldn't sleep.

Excited...... It's a little, it's sad, and it's more dazed.

When she was in the Hall of Tranquility, she was tormented, always hoping that she could leave this living tomb soon, and when she really came out, she didn't know what she should hope for or think.

If......

The corners of the two eyes were hot, and tears flowed silently from both sides of her cheeks, if there was anyone willing to marry her, she must cherish it, she wanted to have a family, she wanted to have children, she didn't want to be lonely anymore, because loneliness was terrible, she knew it too well.

It's just that anyone is still willing to marry her?
