Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 974 Let Her Keep the Light
Su Jiu trembled slightly.

For a moment, clear tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, and she untied the tie as if accepting her fate.

The dragon tent hangs down.

Su Jiu was in a daze, thinking about some things in the past, thinking about some people when he was young.

Xu Shi realized that she was not paying attention, so Xiao Tingchen grabbed her ear viciously, "I want to be the big one, and you are the key to it. Su Xiaojiu, don't keep thinking about calling someone to save you, you should just believe it." Didn't I once?"

Being bullied badly by him, Su Jiu just cried.

He refused to tell her anything, but somehow changed her face, poisoned her voice, and even arranged for her an unfounded identity.

He was so cruel to her, but still wanted her to believe in him...

Why would she trust him? !

Sensing her reluctance, Xiao Tingchen frowned, still with a ferocious expression, "Su Xiaojiu, if you dare to tell anyone your real identity, I will kill your parents and Ran Ran! You too Don’t want them to die because of you?!”

Su Jiu choked up.

She stubbornly refused to look up at the man above, but turned her small face to the side, accepting the emperor's extreme luck with indifference.

……

The next morning.

Because he was looking forward to seeing Ran Ran, Su Jiu woke up early even though he was tired all night.

For the first time, Xiao Tingchen did not break his promise, and really led her into the cold palace.

The palace was barren and collapsed. In spring, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and the weeds almost reached people's knees.

The whole field was silent, only the laughter of the mothers guarding the palace and the old eunuchs playing dice in the distant palace, and the cricket's crickets nearby could be vaguely heard.

Su Jiu's embroidered shoes stepped on dead branches and fallen leaves, his small face was full of tension and expectation.

Passing through half of the cold palace, she suddenly heard someone singing.

Resentment, admiration, weeping, and complaints, there is a little tenderness in the desolation, like a beauty in a lonely city waiting for her emperor to return to the palace triumphantly.

Gradually getting closer, Su Jiu realized that the female singing voice was quite familiar, it seemed to be...

Xue Chengcheng.

She looked at Xiao Tingchen.

A rare look of seriousness appeared on the man's handsome face, but he quickly covered it up.

He bent the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "When I was young, I refused to sleep well. She also sang this song to me... However, she only sang it once."

Su Jiu lowered his eyes.

He only sang the ballad once, but he remembers it till now.

Sure enough, to Xiao Tingchen, Xue Chengcheng is actually quite important.

In this world, who can not love his mother?
The girl followed the singing.

The palace garden is deserted, a few pear trees are sparsely blooming pink and white flowers, and the bluestone floor tiles are probably cleaned frequently, except for some falling petals, they are also clean and there are no weeds.

Su Jiu stood outside the fan.

The Goryeo paper covered on the fan fan is very broken, and the scene inside the hall can be seen clearly.

There was no scene of burning being abused as imagined, and the hall was peaceful and warm instead.

Xue Chengcheng was sitting by the cradle, holding a rattle with mottled red paint in his hand, singing and teasing the baby in the cradle.

She tidied up very neatly, a strand of lacquer hair fell on her cheeks, making her profile graceful and kind, with a kind of gentle and simple beauty that has accumulated over the years, not as crazy as the life-and-death in the past.

There was a bowl of warm milk on the bar cabinet next to it, which was probably used to feed Ran Ran.

The chubby little tender hand stretched out the cradle, and the baby smiled and wanted to grab the rattle, obviously having a good time.

Su Jiu's eyes were slightly hot.

Xiao Tingchen hugged her slender waist, "I didn't expect Xue Chengcheng to get along so well with Su Xiaogou. Those who didn't know thought she was taking care of her grandson. It's really enviable."

He had a playful voice, but Su Jiu did not ignore his low tone.

She looked up at the man, her peach eyes were full of complex emotions, including jealousy, hatred, and longing.

My mother never treated me well, but spoiled other children instead...

Anyone who reads it will feel uncomfortable, right?
only……

For Xue Chengcheng, Ran Ran is not another child.

He is indeed her grandson.

The gloom and longing in her heart dissipated, and she looked at the picture of the reunion of her grandparents and grandchildren, and she couldn't help but smile on her pretty face.

Even if she can't protect herself, it is actually a blessing for Ran Ran to follow Xue Chengcheng.

After all, although Xue Chengcheng was placed under house arrest, she was the emperor's own mother, and no one in the palace dared to embarrass her.

It would be the best if she is willing to protect Ran Ran.

Xiao Tingchen didn't give Su Jiu any extra time to get along with Ran Ran, and walked out of the cold palace with his arms around her slender waist, "I've seen enough, you should start doing things too. The daily affairs of the maid who is in charge of the lamp, there will be peace." The mother in the palace will teach you, sister must study hard, don't lose my face."

Su Jiu frowned, Lu's eyes were full of disgust.

Back at Qianhe Palace, Xiao Tingchen sent her to the nanny in charge and left her alone.

The girl was led around the Qianhe Palace by the nanny, and told her to be in charge of the lights in the study room and bedroom. Things are very cumbersome.

Su Jiu didn't expect that the young maids of the first class would have to do such complicated things, almost needing to watch the lights all night, it was really hard work.

"Of course, there will be rewards for doing well. If you don't do well, you will be fined at least, or you will lose your head. You have to be careful!" You have to be careful not to set the palace lanterns on fire when you change the oil for wax, if you burn down the palace, you will not be able to pay for it with your life!"

Su Jiu followed behind her, and nodded in complete convincing.

She knew that there were thousands of lights in the imperial palace at night, and it was easy to catch fire after thinking about it carefully.

However, the number of fires in the imperial palace is very small in history, which is probably due to the constant precautions of the ladies in charge of the lanterns.

With all the credit so far, who dares to say that the maid who holds the lamp is humble and worthless?
"This is the wing room where you live, and there are three little maids living with you. You must get along well. If you dare to argue and delay the big thing, be careful!"

Su Jiu and the other three little maids bowed their heads and blessed themselves.

The old mother was satisfied with their humble attitude, and she added: "Tomorrow is the grand ceremony of conferring, and there will be a palace banquet in the main hall of the Qianhe Palace. Civil and military officials will bring their families to the banquet. This is the first time since the establishment of Dayong." Lively! You must take good care of the palace lanterns, and absolutely nothing will happen."

The court ladies obeyed orders obediently.

The old mother turned to Su Jiu sternly, "Especially you, the emperor and empress sleep together for the first time tomorrow night, you have to light the dragon and phoenix candles for them, and then stay outside the bedroom all night, refilling and changing the wax for the palace lanterns from time to time. Turn off half of the palace lanterns! Otherwise, it will be bad luck and unlucky, and our new empress is not easy to mess with!"

.

Every step of the old dog has a purpose, and tomorrow will not be abused, rest assured
　Thank you Lemongrass, [Pink Pig], and Xi Yan for your rewards, hugs!
