Chapter 24: Partridge Fly (4)
The small garden in the palace is not small, there are rockeries, living water, green trees, and flowers everywhere.
Cheng Meiren cherishes the moment she can come out every day, just like the people who are locked in a prison and let out to walk around, as soon as she comes out, she feels that her breath is sweet.
Sixteen-year-olds are the age when they like to have fun, and they are locked up in that side of the world, wasting their time and worrying all day long.
Behind her were the palace people sent by Emperor Zhao to protect her, and they followed her closely every step of the way. She was a little annoyed and wanted to get rid of them, but wherever she went, they always followed like shadows.
At this time, basically no one came to the small garden, and most of the women in the palace believed in Buddhism, and after asking the queen to say goodbye, they generally had to go back to continue their morning classes. Cheng Meiren barely touched anyone when she walked, so when she looked up and saw Concubine Li on the other side of the path, her heart suddenly became happy, and she almost forgot the request of the grandmothers not to let her go quickly, but Concubine Li walked up quickly and took her hand.
She wanted to salute, but Concubine Li didn't let her, took her hand, and tears flowed down, saying:
"Good sister, don't see your sister, you have a body, you have to take care of ......"
Soon after Cheng Meiren entered the palace, there were few people she knew in the palace, but she got the help of Concubine Li yesterday, and regarded her as a friend in her heart, and the loneliness of these days, when she saw Concubine Li's tears, she couldn't tell why, so she began to cry, held Concubine Li's hand, and said:
"Thank you sister for your help yesterday!"
Concubine Li wiped away a handful of tears, burst into tears, and said:
"Look at me, when I saw my sister, I felt kind, and I cried for no reason." took Cheng Meiren's hand again and asked her carefully if the morning sickness was serious and she could eat.
Cheng Meiren looked a little strange, glanced at the grandmother who was following her, and said:
"Thank you sister for your concern. It's just that the vomiting is more severe in the morning, and it will be much better in the afternoon. I like to eat something sour, and I can eat it more comfortably. ”
Concubine Li nodded and said:
"Sour and spicy girl, I was like this at that time, I had to take the sour plums to eat." He turned his head and beckoned the palace maid beside her, took a food box from her hand, lifted the lid, and inside was a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup, handed it to Cheng Meiren, and said:
"Sister try this, I loved to eat this at that time......" said, his voice lowered, and after a while, he raised his head again, gave the food box to the grandmother who was following Cheng Meiren, and pulled Cheng Meiren forward. After being separated from the people behind her for some distance, she reluctantly smiled and said:
"My sister doesn't know, I'm so bitter in my heart...... Everyone watched me give birth to a prince, and the scenery was infinite, but who could understand the suffering of my mother and son not being able to see each other...... I came to find my sister, in fact, I was afraid that my sister would guard against me, after all, on the bright side, I should be the one who can't see you give birth to a prince in this palace. But sister, do you know, I haven't seen King Rui for more than a year...... It's been more than a year...... I don't even know how tall he has grown and what he has become! ”
Concubine Li began to choke, tears fell down, Cheng Meiren handed over the handkerchief in her hand, thinking about what to say to comfort and comfort her, so she continued:
"There is no rest in my heart day by day. Sister, you think, King Rui is raised in front of the queen, and after a long time, I'm afraid that I will forget my biological mother. The queen is powerful, and if she finds an excuse to execute me one day, I will die and die, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to make a splash. ”
