Chapter 471: Harem Sister-in-law

I looked at the door with a little stun, the little figure.
The small pink face like Xuetuer was full of flesh, his eyes were round and big, like two black pearls inlaid on the snow, looking so smart, his mouth was red, because Frightened and slightly opened, revealing the neat teeth like Xiaomi, wearing a small folder with red silk satin hundred lucky characters, looks like Xueyu cute, like the golden boy in front of the Bodhisattva.
This turned out to be a three- or four-year-old child who was looking at me sternly.
I also looked at him. The two looked at each other for a long time as if they were stupid. I do n’t know why. As soon as I saw him, I felt a warm love in my heart, but when I thought of my scary look, I was afraid of The child was frightened too, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover his face with his sleeve.
To my surprise, this child was not scared by me. Instead, he took a step forward, looked inside the wooden fence, and said curiously, "Well, who are you?"
He is not afraid of me ...
Thinking of this, I lowered my sleeve gently, and saw him wide-eyed and stared at me: "How come you are here? Why are the doors and windows here nailed?"
Looking at his innocence, I was a little stunned for a moment, and I got up after a while, slowly walked to the door, stopped a little away from the door, so as not to really scare him, said softly: " Are you afraid of me? "
He looked at me again and shook his head: "Ama, why are you locked up here?"
Granny ...
I froze for a moment, remembering how I described the wither in the mirror, and smiled bitterly. He saw that I didn't answer him, and asked, "Did you do something wrong, so you were locked up?"
"..."
The child rolled his eyes again: "I know, if you offend the concubine, you will be locked up!"
Offended the concubine? Shin Rou?
I frowned slightly, remembering the conversation between the two crickets I had overheard during this period of time, and the story of the girl yesterday, it seemed that Shen Rou had disturbed the harem, and Queen Chang Qing did not suppress her at all. It made the concubine a little bit arrogant now, and even such a child knew her power.
When he saw that I didn't speak, he thought I was acquiesced, and sighed: "Hey, people around my mother often say that many court ladies punished by the concubine are innocently involved."
"..."
"You are pitiful."
I ... how pathetic?
Looking at the clear eyes of this little child, Qing Lingling's eyes were full of sympathy and compassion. I don't know why I only thought it was ridiculous and ridiculous. I have never encountered anything in my life, even I think I have survived the hardest days, but was sympathized by such a small child.
I am really pathetic.
The child looked down at the ground. It was the one who knocked me over when they hit me yesterday. He said, "Did you just eat these? These are all overturned. You did n’t eat, is n’t it? I'm hungry?"
"..." I looked at him without talking.
"You're waiting. I'll get you some food, okay? The golden silk cakes made by Yushanfang are delicious."
As he was talking, he heard that someone seemed to be screaming from afar. As soon as he heard it, the white little face froze and said to himself, "Well, they have found it. The emperor knows ... "
I looked up at him.
He was like a frightened rabbit, his ears were folded, he ran down the steps helplessly, and when he ran to the gate of the courtyard, he turned back to me and said, "Granny, wait, I will give you food tomorrow. Come. "After that, he closed the courtyard door lightly and ran away.
I was still kneeling at the door, watching the closed courtyard door, and a ripple rippled in my heart, which was as waveless as a stagnant water.
This child is-Pei Yuanzhang's child?
Judging by his age, he should be about four years old, that is, a child who was born before I left the palace south, and at that time, there was only one child who gave birth to Pei Yuanzhang ...
.
That night, I dreamed.
I have n’t dreamed in a long time, I always hope to see my child in the dream, even if it is just an illusory shadow, I can find a little comfort, but for so many years, she has never been into my dream, I do n’t know if it ’s because she has left too long, too long, and ca n’t even come back in her dream, or because ...
But tonight, I had a dream. I dreamed of the weak and gentle woman.
Her smile was faint. It seemed like the most humble little wild flower in this beautiful harem, but who would have thought that her departure was so terrible, that kind of thick Bloody smell, as if I could smell it even in a dream.
Just as I frowned in my dreams, suddenly, a tender voice came—
"Ama, ama, are you there?"
"..."
I opened my eyes and looked at the yellow veil above my head. People were still a bit lost, and there was the familiar child's voice at the door: "Are you there, grandma? I'll give you food."
I hurriedly got up from the bed, only to find that it was too late. The sun came in through the fence, and the child's short shadow was reflected on the ground. I walked to the door, and surely saw the child standing at the door, holding his hand. Half a piece of pastry, with some dust on my body, grinning at the sight of it: "Ah, you are here!"
I was still a little hesitant: "You--"
"I'll bring you food." He smiled, but looked back at the pastry on his hand, and was a little bit depressed: "But I just fell in order to prevent the maid from following the rockery, and Jin fell The silk cake fell to the ground. Only this point is still clean. Eat it. Don't be hungry. "
After that, tiptoe and handed the pastry to me.
I stared at the cake that was still stained with sand, and looked at the dust sticking to his white face. After a while, I trembled and reached out to pick up the cake and put it in my mouth. .
"How's it going?"
"..."
The bite of sand in my mouth didn't feel very good. My eyes were slightly moist, and I nodded gently, "Well, it's delicious."
"Haha." He grinned, revealing a few white jade-like teeth, his eyes narrowed into a slit.
Looking at his smile, I just felt that a heart was going to soften, and the powdered sugar on the golden silk cake tasted at the tip of my tongue was still sweet to my heart, but there was a touch of sourness in my heart, and I thought of me again Daughter, if she grew up next to me, would she also care about me like that?
Watching him fall into the dust, I said softly, "Did you just fall, did you hurt?"
"Well, it hurts."
He pursed his lips, nodded his hands over his knees, and gently reached out to pick up his pants. Sure enough, he saw a little bruise on his knees, and gently rubbed it for him, saying, "It's okay, I Kneading for you will not hurt. "
Maybe it was because my fingers were soft and he rubbed him very comfortably. The child smiled and said, "Oh, it really doesn't hurt."
I also looked up and looked at him with a smile.
He looked at me as if he was stunned. After a while, he said stupidly, "Grandma, you—your eyes, it's so nice to laugh."
"..."
His words were a bit ridiculous, and I smiled lightly: "How can I? I'm old and ugly, how can I look good? There are a lot of good-looking people in this palace. Concubines ... Concubine ... Your mother-in-law is also big Beauty. "
The child pursed his lips for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although the concubines and concubines are beautiful, I don't like them at all. The maidens in the palace don't like me, and I don't like them either. My mother ... the mother-in-law is a big beauty, but the mother-in-law rarely laughs. Since I remember, the mother-in-law hasn't laughed much. "
"..." I was silent for a while and said, "Is the emperor bad for her?"
"Father Emperor to Mother ... Anyway, Father Emperor rarely comes to Jingren Palace to visit her mother, and her mother makes portraits in the studio every day, ignoring me." With that, he lowered his head a bit, looking at the immature Zhang. Lost expression on his face, I reached out and gently stroked his hair.
But-he said that the emperor rarely visited the Queen at Jingren Palace?
It seems that Chang Qing's death is still a considerable blow to the Chang family. Without this powerful pillar in the court, Chang Qing's position in the harem is not so stable. It is no wonder that in the past two years, I only heard of Concubine and Li Concubine's momentum gradually grew, but she had almost no news.
And this child ...
I lowered my head and looked at his clear eyes like water. He, like his mother, talked with a hint of cowardice. He wanted to have a natural mother who had no position and adoptive mother who slowly lost her favor. It seems that Pei Yuan I did n’t expect much from him. After all, the prince's candidate was very important in the background, and he loved Nangong Lizhu so naturally, he also hoped that the child of the woman he loved could be the prince.
.
Since that day, this child has come to see me often, and I know his name-read deeply.
I don't know what the reason is. He and I have a special affinity. Since I have seen me, he often visits me when no one is there to take care of me. Perhaps because of his nature, this child is as kind and weak as his mother. An extra-hot heart, I saw him at the door early this morning, and there was a shortbread on a handkerchief held in his hand.
I walked to the door with a smile: "Thank you Your Highness, you have brought me food again."
"Hurry up, this sweet cake is delicious."
I took the piece of flower cake, looked at him with expectant look, took a bite, and smiled, "It's delicious."
He grinned.
I looked at him with a touch, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Your Highness, didn't you say that day, after the emperor is going to visit your mother in Jingren Palace, won't you come? Why did you suddenly come? The emperor can't see you, what if he gets angry and scolds you? "
Nian shook his head deeply: "Father Emperor will not come today."
"Oh why?"
He said softly: "I just heard the came to say that the father had gone to Yuhua Hall to accompany Li Fei. The mother said that Li Fei had a baby in her belly."
