Chapter 242: The Red Sleeves of the Slave and the Maid (Two Shifts Today)
The morning light on the horizon gradually dewed, and the entire imperial city was covered with a layer of glow, majestic and majestic.
Stepping on the morning light, Qi Yu walked out of the gate of the imperial city, turned around and looked back at the majestic imperial city.
Twenty-five years have passed in a flick of a finger, and when the prosperity is gone, everything is like a dream.
Those who once loved deeply, sad and melancholy, happy and painful, those memories are forever sealed here, no longer remembered.
turned around and left without hesitation, with endless freedom and ease, and from then on there was no prayer in this world, replaced by a turbulence.
Letting go of everything, he wants to seek true peace and tranquility in his heart.
At this time, Su Juan was still asleep, and Qi Han went to the court, afraid that she would panic when she woke up, so he left her a letterhead to inform him that Qi Yu had left safely.
In the Yulin Palace, the boy got up early, and asked Mama Zhang to take him to the Qinxue Palace, but the boy didn't know that Qi Yu left.
When I arrived at the Qinxue Hall and didn't see Mr. Jiaoxi, the boy was crying and making trouble, clamoring to find Qi Yu, Mama Zhang wanted to forcibly take the boy back to the Yulin Palace, but the boy bit Mama Zhang hard and took the opportunity to run out.
Mama Zhang shook her bitten red and swollen arm, and when she saw the kid running away, she looked around as if she had lost her soul.
Jin Ge patrols with guards every day, and he must be waiting on the road where the palace maids must pass through the red sleeves at the north gate, and the palace people in the four places in the north and west do not know Jin Ge's thoughts.
In private, all the palace people are talking about it, and the red sleeves just want to feel at ease on an errand and have no other intentions, so naturally they can hide, and the public announcement of the same steward that there are still things to do in the imperial study, and they will return to their residence later.
After Qi Han went down to the court, he did not go to the imperial study, but returned to the Yaohua Palace, at this time Su Juan had already woken up, and felt guilty when she learned that Qi Yu had left, she owed Qi Yu too much.
The Red Sleeves told Jin Ge that he would leave if he didn't see her, and headed in the direction of the Imperial Garden, where there was a shortcut to return to his residence before noon, or he would be punished.
Red sleeves passed by the Imperial Garden, saw the fragrant and gorgeous, flourishing flowers in the garden, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, just standing outside the garden and watching, she was just a palace person, and she was not qualified to enter the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers.
The boy was lost in the palace, he was going to find Qi Yu, afraid that he would be caught back to the Yulin Palace, and when he heard Mama Zhang shouting nearby, his small body hid in.
Listening to Mama Zhang's voice, she walked away, and only then did she dare to come out.
The boy walked aimlessly, like a drowning man lonely and helpless, and Qi Yu was his lifeline.
From a distance, I saw a familiar figure outside the imperial garden, like the figure of my mother, reflecting the light and every expression so clearly, the kid went straight to the red sleeves.
The red sleeves closed their eyes, bathed in the warm sun, and smelled the faint fragrance wafting in the breeze, which was pleasant.
I vaguely heard the sound of hurried footsteps before I opened my eyes, but saw a five or six-year-old child running towards her, looking at the complicated and gorgeous clothes, it must be a noble status.
In a blink of an eye, the person had already arrived, and the boy rushed up directly, holding the waist of the red sleeves with his little hand, bursting into tears, and crying out sadly: "Mother, mother, I miss my mother so much!"
The red sleeves stood in place in a daze, and suddenly a child hugged her and called her mother sadly, I don't know if he is the prince and grandson of the family, should he be separated from his family?
"Who are you? I'm afraid I'm mistaken. ”
"No, you are my mother, don't you want your father, don't you want your mother?"
Red Sleeves didn't expect that the child in front of him turned out to be the little prince, and saw that his appearance was somewhat similar to himself.
"Your Highness, you really recognized the wrong person. ”
But the boy still held her waist and didn't let go, no matter how the red sleeves explained, the boy just refused to let go.
In the Yaohua Palace, Qi Han was comforting the sad and sad Su Juan, and when he heard that the palace people came to report that the boy had disappeared in the palace.
The kid is his parent, how can he not worry, a six-year-old child, it is not safe to run around in the palace.
Su Juan was busy staying, and he wanted to go with him to find it, but now that Qi Yu had just left, the child was naturally emotionally unstable, and he was afraid that he would be disrespectful to Su Wan.
"Ah Juan, you can stay in Yaohua Hall with peace of mind, there are so many guards in the palace, the child will be fine. ”
On the other side, the kid missed his mother too much, and mistook Red Sleeves for his mother Li Shu, and hugged Red Sleeves to the death of his mother Li Shu, and refused to let go, attracting the guards patrolling the Imperial Garden.
Red sleeves reluctantly followed the boy back to the Yulin Palace, and Mama Zhang rushed back after him, the whole person was so frightened that her face was like earth, if something happened to the prince, her life would not be guaranteed.
As soon as he entered the hall, he called: "Your Highness, you are going to scare Mama to death!"
Seeing the red sleeves that are somewhat similar to the appearance of the boy, she is the old lady in the palace, and she has also heard that the biological mother of the boy is the former queen, but she is dead.
The woman in front of her was dressed in a blue and white palace maid robe, and she should be a palace person of the lower third grade, "Who are you? Why did you come back to Yulin Palace." ”
Red Sleeves heard Mama Zhang's voice, and the kid held Red Sleeves' hand and refused to let go, this palace has to pay attention to the rules.
"The palace people in the imperial study have seen Mama with red sleeves!"
Mama Zhang looked up and down, and saw the two holding hands, "You are just a palace person, and you dare to offend His Highness." ”
"Mama forgives her sins, it was Her Highness who mistook Red Sleeves for her mother, and she just refused to let go. ”
"Now that the prince is safe, you can go. ”
The boy heard that Mama Zhang was going to twist her red sleeves and leave, so he rushed over and pushed Mama Zhang away, "You go away, I won't allow you to drive her away!"
Red Sleeves was anxious, it was already noon, if he didn't go back, he would be punished, so he had to force him to leave and stretch out his hand to break the boy's hand.
"Your Highness, you really recognized the wrong person, the slave still has important things to do, so retire first!"
The boy missed his mother too much, and when he saw that the red sleeves were leaving, he knelt on the ground and cried sadly.
"Don't make your mother angry again, please don't go, don't leave your mother alone!"
Hearing the boy's sad call, Red Sleeves' heart instantly softened and stopped moving forward.
"The emperor has arrived!" came the shrill voice of the eunuch at the door.
Everyone knelt on the ground and called, "Long live the emperor!"
Qi Han had just stepped into the main hall, and he saw the red sleeves kneeling on the ground, she hung her head, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but the faint fragrance of wormwood emanating from her body was very familiar to him, and he couldn't help but take a look at it.
There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, and the lowered eyes seemed familiar, "You look up." ”
"Yes!" Red Sleeves slowly raised his head, and saw that Qi Han's facial features were as handsome as a god, and there was a handsome dignity in the coldness, he was his savior, the current Son of Heaven, maybe he didn't remember the little boy who sold sugar gourds for a long time.
Qi Han's heart was also shocked, the woman in front of him was somewhat similar to Shu'er, but she was definitely not Shu'er.
"Who are you?" said a faint voice without any emotion.
The red sleeves withdrew their eyes but didn't dare to look at them directly, and lowered their heads and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid is the palace person in the imperial study, and His Royal Highness recognizes the wrong person, so the slave and maid will come here." ”
Qi Han caught a glimpse of the sachet on the waist of the red sleeves, she was a palace person in the imperial study, could she be the one who embroidered the sachet.
"Go down!"
The kid heard that Qi Han was also going to drive Red Sleeves away, so he held Red Sleeves' hand and didn't let go, "Father, don't drive your mother away, Father!"
Hearing the sorrow of the kid's crying, now that Qi Yu has just left, the child's mood is unstable, since he regards this palace person as a special child, there is no harm in leaving her.
Qi Han's eyes looked at Red Sleeves, and his voice was very flat, "What's your name?"
Red Sleeves said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, slave Red Sleeves!"
"Red sleeves, from today on, you will stay in the Yulin Hall and be responsible for taking care of the prince's diet and daily life!"
