Spring is quiet, and the night is long.

The imperial capital is forbidden, and the lights are on.

A corner of the cold palace, a bean and a candle.

The three little ones of Jingyang Palace, who had just had dinner, were lighting lamps and sitting around the table, sitting opposite each other, with serious expressions and a solemn atmosphere.

On the table was a chessboard, black and white, criss-crossed, and it was evident that it had fought to the fullest.

"Smack!"

As a son fell, Yu'er's shoulders hung weakly, and her face was full of disbelief.

"Ah, five-star alignment, Ah Xuan has won again!"

Princess Ankang looked at the chessboard and clapped her hands happily.

Li Xuan pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, revealing the canine teeth on one side, showing no mercy.

"Ah Xuan has won three games in a row, it's amazing!"

"Sister Yu'er, don't be discouraged, you are just one move off the chess, you will have to draw if you hold on for a while."

Princess Ankang looked at the chessboard that was about to be full, and her words of comfort pierced her heart like a knife.

Yu'er couldn't help but be even more loveless.

"It's okay if you can't go down to Your Highness, you can't even go down to Ah Xuan, don't play anymore!"

Yu'er felt that she had been hit by a critical blow in her heart, and she couldn't play more than a cat in backgammon.

Jingyang Palace is developed today, and they have a good meal in the evening, wrapping a drawer of steamed buns to eat, and the small pickles for the next meal are unprecedentedly put on three plates.

The steamed buns made from the finest white flour are large, round, white and soft.

Tasting the sweet, soft and glutinous taste, the three of them unconsciously ate their stomachs.

Originally, at this time, Princess Ankang had already rested, but she was too full to sleep, so she played backgammon together.

Backgammon has long been popular in this world and is perfect for young children who don't know how to play Go yet.

When Concubine Xiao was still alive, she taught them and often took them to play.

Princess Ankang is much better than Yu'er, almost to the extent of crushing.

Just now, she just used Ah Xuan's cat's paw to push the chess pieces, but after a few plays, Ah Xuan played by himself.

In the first game, Yu'er didn't realize that her opponent was unknowingly replaced by Ah Xuan.

But after she lost, when Princess Ankang told her that it was Ah Xuan who played chess, she didn't believe it, and only thought that Princess Ankang was joking.

This led to the second and third innings.

Now that it's okay, Yu'er believes that Ah Xuanxia won her, but her mentality has also collapsed.

"How can it? How is that possible? ……”

Yu'er asked herself over and over again, but there was no answer except for being more confused.

"Am I not as good as a human cat?"

"Could it be that Ah Xuan is the real genius?"

Yu'er looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, only to see the cat raising its head arrogantly, looking very arrogant.

"Hmph, what's the smugness!"

Yu'er thought indignantly.

Just as the three of them were playing backgammon, there was another knock on the door outside Jingyang Palace, which brought their laughter to an abrupt end.

"Why is someone here again?"

The three little ones only had the same question.

Today's Jingyang Palace seems to be particularly lively, with visitors one after another.

It's just that it's a little late now, who will it be?

There can be a clear rule in the palace that you are not allowed to move around at will at night, otherwise you will be severely punished if you are found by the Ouchi guards.

Generally speaking, the lower the grade, the less likely you are to violate this rule.

Therefore, those who are still walking around the palace at night are either nobles or not afraid of death.

Although there is still some time before the curfew, it is still less than half an hour.

At this point in time, most people will be ready to rest and will not go out at will.

After all, the scope of the palace is not small, and if you can't go back in time, it will be troublesome.

"Your Highness, I'll go see who it is."

Yu'er greeted and prepared to open the door.

Princess Ankang nodded and didn't say anything more.

Although they are in the cold palace, they are still in the palace after all, and there is basically no danger.

And Li Xuan also meowed, jumped out of Princess Ankang's arms, and followed Yu'er's back.

He was frightened by the daytime manager Shang, and he had to see who the person was to feel at ease.

"Ah Xuan, what are you going to do?"

Princess Ankang screamed helplessly, and could only watch him disappear.

Li Xuan came to the door one step ahead of Yu'er, and then leaned on the courtyard wall to secretly look at the person who knocked on the door.

The knock on the door was a little eunuch dressed in white, with a black head on his head, a white face, and he looked about the same age as Yu'er.

"Why did he get here!?"

After Li Xuan saw the person who came, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

He knew this little eunuch, but he was not his "enlightenment teacher".

"Isn't this the little eunuch of the Chamberlain?"

Li Xuan hid in the shadows, not daring to show his head, planning to wait and see what happened first.

To say that today is really a strange day, Jingyang Palace has welcomed one strange guest after another.

After a while, the gate of Jingyang Palace opened, and Yu'er walked out of it.

She carried a lantern in her hand and shone it at the person who knocked on the door, and asked "I don't know who it is......"

But halfway through the words, Yu'er was stunned in place, and even her breath was held.

The lantern rested beside the little eunuch's face, and the yellowish light shone on the slightly immature face.

A gentle smile appeared on the little eunuch's face.

"First, is that you? First! ”

Yu'er threw the lantern in her hand on the ground, and excitedly stepped forward to stroke the little eunuch's face.

It's like it's not enough to just look at it, you need to figure it out before you dare to recognize it.

"Yu'er knows this little eunuch!?"

Li Xuan, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect such a fate.

"What is the relationship between them?"

Yu'er seemed to have confirmed the identity of the person who came, and hugged him tightly excitedly.

"How did you end up here, how did you end up here......"

Yu'er's tone changed from surprise to joy at first, and now it slowly turned to pain and struggle.

The little eunuch kept smiling from beginning to end, only his eyes gradually reddened.

He hugged Yu'er with his backhand, and finally spoke: "Sister, it's me who is right." ”

"First, first......"

Yu'er cried bitterly and couldn't even speak.

Li Xuan, who was eavesdropping on the side, was stunned, this little eunuch turned out to be Yu'er's younger brother.

"Why, why did you enter the palace?"

Yu'er looked at the white clothes on her younger brother's body and couldn't help but feel sad.

This proves that their family is dead.

So what was she sold to the palace for?

"First of all, why did you enter the palace? What about Daddy and Auntie? ”

Yu'er hurriedly wiped two handfuls of tears and asked the question she was most curious about.

The Deng family had only two children back then, one was Yu'er, and the other was Deng Weixian in front of her.

It's just that life was hard back then, and the family couldn't afford to raise two children, so they sold Yu'er, who was two years older.

Yu'er was also lucky, and she was displaced all the way, but she was sold into the palace by mistake.

She was innocent at the time, pleasing to the eye but not too dazzling, and she was selected into the palace because she was well-behaved and sensible.

The others were not as lucky as Yu'er.

Some died halfway through, some were sold to kilns and green buildings, and some were sold to deep mountain villages to be child brides.

It's just that Yu'er didn't expect that she had endured so many hardships, and finally adapted to it in the palace, and when she forgot her original home, her younger brother suddenly appeared in front of her.

The younger brother is the root of the Deng family, and his appearance here doesn't prove that the Deng family ......

"Sister, my father and mother are gone."

"Now in this world, I only have one relative, you."

Deng Weixian's words were amazing, and Yu'er was also stunned.

She thought that she would no longer have any feelings for the original home, but when she suddenly heard the bad news, she still couldn't help but collapse in the depths of her heart.
