The sporadic sound of artillery fire rang out from the courtyard, adding to the joyful atmosphere of the New Year. Xiaozhuang drank tea with a smile, she was in a very cheerful mood, she beckoned the palace maids to serve the rare fruits and foods offered from all over the country for all the blessings, and specially asked Yu'an to go to the courtyard to watch the little boys who set off the cannonballs, and told them to be careful, don't be naughty and get hurt.

Meili and Su Ying sat on both sides of the same kang table, and the grandmother who came with her reminded Su Ying not to eat too cold food and fruits just after confinement. Su Ying, who had just given birth to a daughter, was plumper than before, and had a special beauty that belonged to a young woman.

The Fujin people who came to worship the ancestors of the Hou all talked about their children with each other and praised each other, and few people talked about Yun Ke. The rumors about Yun Ke gradually subsided a lot, but the cautious women were reluctant to talk about the topic, especially in front of Su Ying.

Compared to Meili's silence, Su Ying was a little more talkative than before. Meili listened to them laughing, silently peeling melon seeds for Yun Ke, and waited for him and the boys to come back from the cannon battle to eat delicious. The distance was very close, and she could smell that the fragrance on Su Ying's body had changed, no longer a rich jasmine, but a kind of tranquil and soft fragrance, and she couldn't name it. Su Ying has always been very good at dressing up, even the details are flawless, she also dressed Yun Jue very well, just now the Fujin people were also amazed by the fabric style of his small robe, and asked Su Ying where to buy the materials and which store to cut them.

Su Ying said the name and origin of the store, and the Fujin people smacked their tongues and nodded, convinced, and said: It's that family, no wonder.

She had also heard of the shops Su Ying was talking about, and they were all frighteningly expensive places. Even if Jing Xuan always gave her a lot of money, and the land rent of King Qian's Mansion had always been regarded as her extra income, she still couldn't make clothes for Yun Ke to go to such a luxurious place. The child grows up fast, and she still can't afford a small robe equivalent to a month's rent in King Qian's mansion. Her money was used very carefully, and she had saved it up for Yun Ke's future plans.

There was a commotion outside, the emperor and several relatives and nobles all laughed and entered the inner hall, the Fujin people got up to greet their husbands, Meili followed behind Su Ying politely, Jingxuan sat in the place where Su Ying just now, Meili stood on the side close to Su Ying in a regular manner, and waited for her to sit down, and then sat on the Xiudun that the palace maid moved for her.

Before the greetings were finished, the boys ran into the room after the cannon fight, and leaned around the smoker, all of them so cold that their faces were red.

Xiaozhuang urged the palace ladies and grandmothers to get some hot soup for them, and the most favored prince Yinren said that he wanted to drink oil tea, and the ancestor hurriedly ordered that all the children drink oil tea.

Yun Ke has been holding Yinzhen's hand, and Cheng Yi's son Tai Shao is also standing beside them, although they are a few years apart, they have always been very close to each other, and their relationship is better than that of their own brothers. When the oil tea was served, the children and grandmothers couldn't take care of it, Meili was worried that Yun Ke would be burned, and the other Fujin didn't move, and she couldn't walk over. The older Yinzhen carefully pulled Yun Ke to sit down, stirred and cooled him, and fed Yun Ke spoonful by spoon like an adult, and the adults laughed.

Su Ying looked a little uncomfortable, especially the old ancestor smiled and said that Yun Ke Taishao and Xiao Si are so close, it is really rare, usually the fourth elder brother is not too gregarious.

The girls who were originally sitting on the south kang to play because they were not cold and did not eat much snacks, they all got off the kang to find boys to play.

The two girls cried because they were fighting to wipe Yun Ke's mouth and were pulled away by their grandmother.

Xiaozhuang laughed and looked at Jing Xuan playfully, "It is worthy of being your son, and he even has the same characteristics that girls like." ”

said Jing Xuan smiled, couldn't help but look at Meili next to him, Meili also smiled, and the memories that belonged to their common one woke up instantly, when he was a teenager, he was the teenager who didn't respond coldly, and she was the girl who cried for him fighting. Her eyes briefly met, and she quickly avoided it, her heart still tingled at the old ancestor's funny words, and the memory could not be erased...... So pain.

Watching the familiar scene performed by the young children, she remembered that she had once liked him so much, and these feelings were forgotten in the eternal passage of life.

"Amma, Amma." Yun Jue threw himself on Jing Xuan's lap, "Didn't you say today that you would go to the temple fair together?" ”

Jing Xuan nodded, "Well, Ama promised, I haven't forgotten." ”

Su Ying found that he looked at Meili again, suppressed the resentment in her heart and smiled, trying her best to make her tone natural, "That's right, our family of three hasn't been playing together for a long time." She suddenly wanted to give Meili some color to see, Meili has gotten too much over the years!

Jing Xuan's brows frowned slightly, since Su Ying said so, it was not easy for him to say what he wanted to say just now.

Hinting, Meili understood.

She also saw the expectation in Yun Ke's eyes that instantly ignited and disappeared obediently, his well-behaved and considerate made her feel bitter pain. She never explained it to him, but he seemed to be born with an understanding that Ama was not only him, but also seemed to understand what he lacked compared to Yun Jue. He never asked her about it, and she was even more distressed by his understanding.

Everyone talked about how lively and prosperous the lamp market was this year, and it was the emperor's wisdom that brought such prosperity. Those who have been there are all talking about the new things in the lamp market, and they are all special vendors from all over the world who enter Beijing, which is worth seeing.

The emperor was also said to have risen, mentioning that three days later, a grand lantern festival would be held in the palace during the Lantern Festival, and relatives and important ministers would be invited to come and have a good celebration.

Everyone said goodbye and left, Meili deliberately stayed with the ancestor for a while, so that Jing Xuan could leave calmly with Su Ying's mother and son, and she and Yun Ke didn't have to be so embarrassed. Fortunately, with Yinzhen and Taishao, Yun Ke had a lot of fun.

The old ancestor also knew the scene just now, and he didn't break it. After everyone left, they instructed Yu'an to bring the New Year's reward to Yun Ke, which was very generous, and Meili was grateful.

On the way back, Yun Ke sat in her arms silently, the smile just now was silent on his already handsome baby face, but he didn't ask or ask questions.

As a concubine...... This sensitivity may be born by fate.

The crowd outside the sedan chair was noisy, and the festive atmosphere was very strong, Meili lowered her head and stuck to Yun Ke's soft little face, "Does Yun Ke also want to go to the lantern set?" ”

Yun Ke didn't answer immediately, but after all, he was a child under the age of five, so he hesitated for a moment and said honestly: "Yes." ”

Meili smiled lightly, "Let's go home and change our clothes first, call Shangyuemo and them, and we'll also go to the market lively, okay?" Whatever you like, E-Niang will buy it for you. ”

Yun Ke smiled and nodded again and again.

There were too many people on the lantern set, as if the entire capital was crowded here, Meili had to hold Yun Ke's hand tightly, regretting not bringing a few guards, Yun Ke grew up, he couldn't hold it anymore, and it was very hard for him to be trapped in the crowd.

She tried hard to make him happy, played darts with him, set circles, fortunately her naughtiness when she was young made her proficient in many children's things, and won the jackpot for him, a beautiful porcelain tiger, Yun Ke cheered and was very excited.

A sugar gourd stall is very crowded, their sugar gourd strings are extraordinarily long, and the first hawthorn is as big as a begonia, which is very rare. Yun Ke was very yearning for their signature big sugar gourd, Meili and he shivered from the cold or waited in the long queue in person, and when they finally bought the sugar gourd more than two feet long, both mother and son were excited. The sugar gourd is too long, only others can eat it, Yun Ke insisted on letting Eniang eat the first largest hawthorn, Meili couldn't resist him, and proposed to eat half of it for one person, Yun Ke clapped his hands and laughed in agreement.

When Yun Ke took the heavy sugar gourd to eat, and Yun Ke also struggled to feed her with his little hands, the mother and son both laughed very happily, Meili felt that it had been many years, and it was the first time she could laugh out loud like this, Yun Ke's childhood seemed to have continued her childhood, and Yun Ke's happiness was her happiness.

There was a slight grumble from the crowd, and four fierce guards cleared the way through the bustling crowd, and the person who flashed backwards almost hit Yun Ke, and Miri hurriedly turned her back to protect him.

She heard the familiar child's laughter, didn't want to look back, didn't want Yun Ke to look, followed Yun Ke's gaze, she turned around with a pale face. Jing Xuan hugged Yun Jue, Su Ying smiled and held his arm, and walked on the road driven by the guards with a smile, as if there was no one around.

Her heart hurts, instead of Yun Ke.

His husband walked happily with another woman, she had already recognized it, numb, but Yun Ke, what he saw was his adoring and beloved Amma walking by with his brother in his arms, not him.

Sure enough, the child's smile slowly solidified, and the sugar gourd that had excited him just now was also handed to Yueqiang beside him, and he didn't care about it anymore.

"Yun Ke ......" At this moment, she can't say anything when she is a mother, how can she comfort him?

"Let's go, E-niang." Yun Ke suddenly squeezed out a smile and took her hand, he was still too young, and his smile was not perfectly disguised.

Her eyes stinged suddenly, and she would rather him cry.

"What else does Yun Ke like? E-Niang bought it for you. She restrained the choking in her throat.

Yun Ke shook his head, walked a few steps and suddenly whispered, "It would be nice if I could buy an Amma." ”

Meili's lips quivered, and the noise around her seemed to be another world, and the powerless sense of despair crushed her again. She suddenly realized that her Yun Ke had grown up, and she had given all her love...... It's not enough.
