Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 122 Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water ([-]) Adding updates for rewards
Yu Chumeng said solemnly: "She had a reason for leaving you back then. Xiahou said that if she stayed in the mansion, she would deal a fatal blow to you. Xia Qiuling reluctantly left because she didn't want you to be hurt."

Xia Yong couldn't believe it.After all, the impression of Qiu Ling's betrayal has been deeply ingrained in his mind.At this time, someone told him that there was another secret, how would he accept it?
"This woman is really affectionate towards you," Yu Chumeng said sincerely, almost in tears, "You see I targeted her at the beginning, you have heard about it, why did you let her go later? Because I found out The secret in her heart, the maid calls your name when she hears her dreams. Otherwise, how would I know about your old relationship and use it?"

The story she made up almost deceived herself, and she already had a strong sense of substitution and felt heartache.

Xia Yong's face became dull and he remained silent.

Yu Chumeng's voice trembled, and she said with sincere emotion: "I advised her not to come today, but she insisted on coming, saying that she would see you one more time and die without regret. Why is this woman so stubborn?"

Xia Yong was still silent and clasped his hands.

Yu Chumeng could feel that his heart was a little loose, and was about to make persistent efforts, when the deafening crackling of firecrackers sounded outside.

Someone ran to urge: "The bride is here. The eldest son is going out to greet her soon."

Xia Yong took one last look at her, and said darkly: "Actually, I recognized you at Puhua Temple that day. If you want me to die, I thought that even if you didn't recognize me, it wouldn't be like this."

He had never touched Xia Qiuling before, so that Xia Qiuling could enter the palace innocently.

So it's not like, seeing Xia Qiuling so hungry and thirsty, he didn't have it at all.

How could he not be able to tell the difference between the Queen and Qiu Ling?

Yu Chumeng was a little speechless.

"Go and meet your bride, have a good time."

She sat there, feeling the bustle outside, and wanted to go out to have a look, but felt annoyed.

As her empress, people give way everywhere, and no one dares to squeeze with her. Once she passes by, the crowded crowd of spectators will disperse, so it will be boring.

So she left the main room and wandered around the Xia Mansion at will.

Walking among the vermilion corridors of the Xia Mansion, the bright and dark sunlight shines through the tall locust trees on both sides, and there is little left to shine on the corridors.

One step is bright, one step is dark, Yu Chumeng stepped on the occasional dappled sunlight under his feet, and suddenly remembered that his mother was the most afraid of heat, so his father planted locust trees all over the house to shade him.

In this way, the atmosphere of Xia's mansion was somewhat similar to that of Yu's mansion, which gave her a sense of familiarity.

At the end of the vermilion corridor, a row of red apricot trees are planted there against the wall. This is the season when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, and the branches are not satisfied with the space and spread out of the wall.

Yu Chumeng remembered that it was the same in Yu's mansion. Her mother once pointed to the red apricots spreading out of the wall and said to her: "Then the garden is full of spring scenery, and a branch of red apricots comes out of the wall."

She stopped and looked back at the corridor.

She walked back three steps and confirmed that there was a distance of three steps between each red light.

My mother is afraid of the dark... so the other houses have eight steps and one lamp, but Yu's house has three steps and one lamp. Looking back at the long corridor, the lanterns seem much denser.

Yu Chumeng's legs suddenly became very heavy, and she couldn't walk anymore, and her abdomen became tense for no reason. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and covered her stomach.

Seeing the empress shaking, Xiaoyu who was behind her quickly supported her and said, "Your Majesty, your body is heavy, why don't you go to the main hall to rest?"

Yu Chumeng nodded.

After walking a few steps, she met the family of three.

Yu Jichang and Yan Qingling saluted her, only Yu Chengrui walked up to her in an unruly manner: "Sister! I can see you."

Yu Chumeng didn't really want to talk to her parents, but in front of Rui'er, she couldn't get angry, so she helped her mother up with her own hands, and called her father to get up, then turned to look at Rui'er, and smiled at him.

"I always feel that Rui'er is still a child, but she has turned out to be a man in the wind."

It's only been a year of dancing spoons, and it's already as high as her.Only then did she feel that Rui'er had grown up, and the little boy with a runny nose behind her was about to get married.

Yu Chumeng took a step back and looked at his younger brother carefully.Those clear and bright eyes, clean and childish, made her feel at ease.

No matter how bad the parents are, one thing they did well was to protect the innocent heart of their children well.

Compared with Xia Yong and Concubine Ming's siblings, Chu Meng thinks that she and Rui'er are luckier in this respect.

No matter what unsightly past entanglements there are between the parents, it is for the children to grow up happily in a happy family.

At this moment, the parents also walked away wisely, giving their siblings space to talk.

"Sister, are you okay?" Yu Chengrui looked at her and asked, "How is brother-in-law treating you?"

Yu Chumeng corrected: "He is the emperor, not your brother-in-law."

Yu Chengrui didn't quite understand. He clearly remembered that his sister didn't say that before, and his brother-in-law didn't blame him when he heard him call brother-in-law after he ascended the throne, and he responded kindly.

But since my sister said so, Yu Chengrui nodded and said blankly: "Sister, you seem to be different."

How can there be no change in the past five years.

"Are you getting old?" Yu Chumeng pointed at the obvious swollen abdomen jokingly, "Still fat?"

Yu Chengrui shook his head, he patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, you used to pat me like this before, and then said, step aside, brother, sister can't play with you."

Yu Chumeng also remembered that Ruier used to pester her all the time, and she wanted to sneak out to play all day long, so she often found Ruier annoying.

Rui'er is 11 years younger than her, so they really can't play together.

"Strange sister?"

"No wonder," Yu Chengrui said, "When I fight with others, it's because my sister helped me out."

Although Yu Chumeng thought he was young and couldn't get along with him, but if Ruier was bullied by some unsightly family boy, she would roll up her sleeves and bring a stick to him.

Only she can bully her brother, no one else can.

"Sister, I'm with my parents, you're the only one left here, I miss you a lot."

The last sentence, he said more and more quietly.

Yu Chu dreamed of giving him a hug, but even if the siblings are still divided into men and women, shaking hands is too far away.

She managed her emotions well, and tilted her head to him: "My sister misses you too."

"I don't understand. We've been back for so long, and you didn't come home to take a look," Yu Chengrui complained a little, "The other day when mother went to look for you, father quarreled with her, and father didn't let mother enter the palace to disturb you. But mother will miss you."

Yu Chumeng burst out laughing.

"Father and mother quarreled?"

"Yeah, they never quarreled, and they quarreled very fiercely that day."

"How do you say it?"

Yu Chengrui thought about it carefully, and said: "I didn't hear clearly, anyway, it's because father won't let mother go to you again."
