The sky had already darkened, Su Xiaojiu quickened his pace, went straight out of Ronghua Palace, and came to a ruined palace gate.

Above the palace gate, on the mottled plaque, there are three big characters written on the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - Jinse Palace.

Look at this name, it should be a place of singing and dancing and splendid clouds, but it is a cold palace that no one cares about.

There was a slight knock on the door three times, and soon there was a clattering trotting sound from inside, which stopped behind the door with joy and pleasure through the heavy palace door.

"Is it Sister Jiujiu?"

A child's voice came from inside, clear and sweet, with palpable joy, but it did not open the door directly.

Su Xiaojiu smiled, Xiaotuanzi has a good memory, she taught her before, and when she heard someone knocking on the door in the future, she had to say hello before opening.

Suddenly wanting to tease her, Su Xiaojiu deliberately pinched his throat, and said angrily: "I'm a big bad wolf, open the door quickly, I want to go in and eat small dumplings!" ”

There was a giggling sound from inside the door, and as the palace door opened, a white little face was revealed in the crack of the door, and when he saw Su Xiaojiu, his glass-colored eyes flickered, and he instantly bent into a little moon: "Sister Jiujiu, I knew it was you!" ”

stepped forward and pinched her delicate little nose: "Xiao Tuanzi, my sister has come to see you, do you miss your sister?" ”

Tuanzi nodded vigorously: "Well, it's conceivable, Xiao Wu looks forward to Sister Jiujiu coming every day!" ”

The group's name is Xiao Wu, who is just four years old this year, and he is still Su Xiaojiu's life-saving benefactor.

On the day she wore it, she opened her eyes and found that she was sinking under the water, and in a panic, she forgot that she could swim, and only struggled desperately in the water.

It happened that Xiao Wu was playing nearby and found her in the water, so she ran to the door and called two passing little eunuchs to rescue her in time.

The little eunuch saw that the waist card she was carrying was engraved with the word "Rong", so he sent her back to Ronghua Palace.

According to the remnants of the original owner's memory, that day it should have been the original owner and the end of spring together to go to the Xinzheku to deliver the toilet, unfortunately there was some urgency on the way back, the original owner asked the end of spring to go back to his life first, and he turned into the Jinse Palace, as for what happened later, it is unknown.

Xiao Wu took her hand and walked in, and said happily: "Sister Jiujiu, I finally learned to write my name today!" I learned it in just three days, isn't it amazing? ”

The sweet and glutinous voice is full of pride.

"Wow, Xiao Wu is so good, then you can write it to your sister later, okay? There is a reward for writing it~~"

Su Xiaojiu touched the small balls tied with a thick strip of red cloth on the top of her head, with pity in her eyes.

The little doll carved in pink and jade is wearing rough clothes that make the old palace clothes of the palace people smaller, and they are dusty.

The shoes on her feet are also made of coarse cloth, but fortunately she is a quiet and well-behaved baby, her body is always clean, and when she is close, she can smell a sweet milky fragrance on her body.

She was born in the cold palace since she was a child, and she has never been to a place outside the Jinse Palace, and she doesn't know how prosperous and splendid the rest of the palace is compared to the bleak and dilapidated here.

Looking at the four princes in the Ronghua Palace, the mother is a favorite concubine with a respected status, and Xiao Wu, who was also born in the palace and whose mother can only live in the cold palace, is really embarrassing.

However, after coming a few times, Su Xiaojiu has never seen Xiao Wu's mother, according to her words, her mother doesn't like to see outsiders, she usually has nothing to do, she always sits alone in the house in a daze, and she doesn't come out and walk around easily.

Think about it, as a palace person, but gave birth to a child in the cold palace, there must be a big story behind it, and it is already legendary that both mother and daughter can survive.

Although she has been poor with her mother, Xiao Wu's glass-colored eyes have no haze, every time she sees her, they are full of innocence and innocence, which makes people feel extremely pity, so since that day, Su Xiaojiu has come here from time to time to see her.

There was no pen and paper here, Xiao Wu squatted on the ground, holding a branch in his hand, and wrote the word "dance" on the ground.

"Sister, look!"

The little man who is only four years old, his fingers are not as thick as a branch, but he has already written horizontally and vertically, and he has a good appearance, but it is a pity that it is written on the ground and cannot be preserved.

Su Xiaojiu thought about it, and she had to find a way to bring some paper and pen to Xiao Wu another day.

Xiao Wu raised her head, because she was writing too seriously, a layer of fine sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, which was reflected by the sunset, shining.

Excited to finally be able to write her name completely, her face was full of a sense of accomplishment, and her eyes looked at Su Xiaojiu eagerly, like a puppy waiting for her owner's praise.

"Look, sister! How is Xiao Wu writing? ”

Su Xiaojiu looked at her in surprise, clapped her hands and said, "Wow, Xiao Wu's writing is great, right?" My sister has to give her a reward, but what should I reward? ”

"Is there really a reward? What could it be? ”

Xiao Wu looked at her expectantly, her big eyes flashed and flashed, soft and cute.

"Come, close your eyes and put your hands out."

Xiao Wu quickly closed her eyes and stretched out her right hand.

"No, you just took a branch in your right hand, and you have to use your left hand."

The little one quickly switched to his left hand.

Su Xiaojiu snickered, took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it, and there were five dice-sized pieces of rock candy in it.

This is what I bought with a lot of money in the room just now, and I originally bought six pieces, and I just gave one piece in late spring, and Su Xiaojiu brought all the rest.

Just about to give all the sugar to Xiao Wu, Su Xiaojiu made a move.

For some reason, looking at the white and clean little hand in front of her, a dirty little black hand instantly appeared in her mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiaojiu only picked up three and put them in Xiao Wu's palm, wrapped the remaining two, and put them in his arms.

"Alright, open your eyes!"

Xiao Wu, who couldn't wait for a long time, opened her eyes, saw the things in her palm, and cheered in surprise: "Wow! It's rock candy! I've eaten this, and it was given to me by my mother on my birthday last time! ”

Su Xiaojiu was sad to hear this, the life of the cold palace is not as good as Xin Zheku, there are only two meals a day, and it is often not very timely, basically hungry and full, not to mention these extra snacks, I really don't know what Xiao Wu's mother raised her on.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu is a sensible baby, never asks for anything from her mother, and knows that her mother is in a bad mood, every day after breakfast, she obediently comes out to play by herself, usually stays all day, and only goes back when it is time for dinner.

When he was supposed to have a long body, he looked thin and small, and he looked like he was only three years old.

"Sister, what are you thinking? Why don't you speak? ”

Xiao Wu looked at Su Xiaojiu timidly, did she shout too loudly just now, and Sister Jiujiu was angry?

Mother is the same, since she was a child, she didn't like her to talk loudly, sometimes she forgot to play happily, and if her voice was accidentally a little higher, her mother would be angry and kick her out.
