"Grandmother Taifei, father is doing well in Qingzhou, so you don't have to miss him," Zi Chu said.

Concubine Yi smiled gently, and patted the back of his hand lightly, "Your father is fine, I don't miss him.

Good boy, grandma left you caramel, let's eat caramel. "

Zi Chu turned his head and glanced at Princess Wang, who smiled and waved at him.Zi Chu didn't speak, and let Concubine Yi lead her forward.

The bustling Qinghe Palace was quiet now, and the cleaning ladies all lowered their eyebrows, and when they saw the concubine coming in, they retreated respectfully.

This quietness made Concubine Anjun truly feel the end of an era, and Concubine Yi, who was once a dignified person, had really gone behind the scenes.

"Good boy, look at the caramel that Concubine Grandmother left for you." Concubine Yi held a red lacquered wooden box and put it in front of Zichu. "These are your father's favorites, and you must like them too."

She picked up a red candy and handed it to Zichu, looking at him expectantly, "Take a look, is it sweet?"

Zi Chu put the sugar in his mouth and nodded, "Sweet."

Concubine Yi laughed happily. "If you like to eat, you can take all of them with you when you leave the palace."

Princess Anjun asked the calm maid next to her, "How long has the princess been like this?"

The maid replied, "Since last year, the concubine sometimes can't remember things, but this year, sometimes she becomes confused."

The princess of the county: "What did the doctor say?"

"It's because I'm getting old, so I can only take some soup and medicine to take care of it."

"That's Yulan, you call her Langu." Concubine Yi said to Concubine Anjun.

Concubine An Jun smiled at her, knowing that Concubine Yi was telling her the maid's name.

"Lan Gu, take Zi Chu to the backyard. It's where his father played when he was young. Zi Chu must also like it."

Lan Gu took Zi Chu out.

Concubine An Jun sat opposite Concubine Yi, "Concubine Mu, the lord is really good, you don't have to worry about it."

"I know." Concubine Yi smiled, with a soft halo on her face, "Born in an emperor's family, even family happiness is difficult to achieve.

Calculating carefully, I haven't seen Su'er for ten years, eight months, three thousand eight hundred and ninety-one days.

If His Majesty does not speak, he cannot come back.When he can come back, he will probably come for my funeral.

In this life, I'm afraid I'll never see him again. "

"Mother concubine!"

"You don't need to persuade me, I'm not confused." Concubine Yi said: "You and Su'er only have one child, Zichu, so you didn't think about how many children you want?

When you grow up, Zichu will also have a brother who will help you. "

The princess of the county lowered her head and did not speak.

Concubine Yi said leisurely, "I didn't mean to blame you, Su'er has never taken a concubine for so many years, I know you have a good relationship, I can only be happy for you.

It's just that at my age, I realized that it would be good to have more children after all, it's really not possible, you give Su'er two concubines, and when you have children in the future, you will also be their serious aunt. "

"Mother Concubine." The princess of the county mourned: "It's not that Shu'er doesn't want to have more children, it's really that the prince doesn't like me."

"How is this possible?" Concubine Yi said in shock: "If he doesn't like you, why hasn't he even taken a concubine for so many years."

The princess of the county said with difficulty: "He only has Zhu Yu in his heart."

Concubine Yi's face froze for a moment, she leaned back slumped on the chair, and said in a sad voice, "Is he really still resenting me? My good son, the son I raised so hard, has been complaining all the time until the end. own mother."

Concubine Yi choked with sobs, "Shu'er, did I do something wrong? If I let him marry Zhu Yu, he will not do something like doting on his concubine and destroying his wife. Will Anjun Palace still have a day of peace?"

"Mother, I know you love me."

"I don't feel sorry for you, I think about him."

Concubine Yi said loudly, "Then Zhu Yu has a flirtatious temperament. I know that you have just married into the palace, and I don't agree with Su'er taking her as a concubine, but she ran to Qingzhou behind my back and lived in the palace of Anjun. , does she think I'm dead?
Just because her mother is Su'er's wet nurse, and she and Su'er had a little affection since they were young, she thought she could coax Su'er to handle me. I really underestimated her. "

Grand Concubine Yi was angry and sad, the princess of the county was afraid that she would be confused again, so she hurried forward to caress her chest, "Concubine mother, don't be angry, Zhu Yu is dead, even if the prince can't forget her, I won't pay you back." Do you have Zichu?"

Concubine Yi gradually calmed down, "Where is Zi Chu? Where is Zi Chu?"

"Zi Chu and Lan Gu went to play in the backyard." An Jun Princess felt relieved when she saw that her eyes were gradually clearing up, and handed her a cup of tea, "Mother Concubine, have a sip of tea."

Concubine Yi took a deep breath, picked up the tea pot and took a sip, "You have to pay more attention to Zi Chu, don't teach those caring people to ruin it."

The princess of the county agreed.

"I think Zi Chuchang is thin and weak, why don't you find an imperial doctor to have a look. Since we have arrived in Lindu this time, let's wait for his health to recuperate before leaving."

"What the concubine mother said is that Shu'er also thinks the same way." Princess Jun said, "There is still more than a month until the queen mother's birthday, no matter what, I will not go back until the queen mother's birthday has passed.

If there is a good doctor who can cure Zichu's disease, we will stay in Lindu longer. "

"Then what about Su'er? He is in Qingzhou, and there is no one in the room, so it's not suitable." Concubine Yi looked at Princess Anjun, "Otherwise, take her a concubine."

The words came back again.The princess's knees softened, and she knelt down in front of Concubine Yi with a plop, "Concubine Mu, Shu'er doesn't think she is the kind of jealous person, but the prince of the county is always suspicious of me.

If I propose to take a concubine for her, the concubine's room will definitely not be his favorite, so it's better for my concubine to keep an eye out for him, and if there is a suitable one, let someone send it to her.

If the concubine's room becomes his favorite and gives birth to a son and a half daughter, the palace will be more lively in the future. "

Concubine Yi glanced at her, "Get up, I'm just talking casually, and I don't mean to take it seriously."

"But Shu'er is sincere." The princess of the county knelt on the ground, looked up at Concubine Yi, and said sincerely: "Over the years, Shu'er has shown her sincerity to the prince, and she doesn't want to see the prince suffering himself. .

Hate only hate, Shu'er can't get into his eyes.If someone can really win the prince's favor, Shu'er will treat each other sincerely. "

Concubine Yi glanced at her indifferently, "Get up, you don't have to rush to confess your love to me.

My old lady is quite old, and she is far away from you, so she won't be annoying.Live as you like. "

Princess Yi got up from the ground, and Concubine Yi looked out of the window with a calm expression.

A pink peony was in full bloom outside the window. Her eyes fell on the flower, but she seemed absent-minded.

She didn't move, and stared at it with half-closed eyes for a long time, so long that Princess An thought she would fall into such a deep sleep, but she suddenly sighed.

This sigh was deep and hoarse, like a wanderer who had traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains, and came back in the twilight with a whole body of exhaustion.

"If I had known this earlier, I would have fought with her, and there would be no need for mother and child to be separated like this now." Taifei Yi said.
