Chapter 52
Xiaohuang's episode: I don't know if I am a guest in my dream, and I am greedy all day long

During the mid-autumn night banquet in the palace, An Lehou was persuaded by all the officials to drink a few more glasses of wine during the banquet. He couldn't help but feel drunk.

Although he is a powerless and powerless uncle of the country, who only inherits a vassal marquis, he married only an unknown woman and has no wife or family to rely on. He received some rewards from the palace, but after so many years, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to underestimate him.

——Because of the unique favor of the Middle Palace, the prince of the dynasty was born by the queen, and there was a younger brother and a sister under the prince, all of whom were directly born by the queen.

Although the queen does not like to take power, she does not ask about foreign affairs, the dynasty is prosperous, and there is no exclusive power of foreign relatives.

His Majesty can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes. Those who have slandered the queen in the past, or who wanted to send their daughters to the palace to be favored, none of them ended well.

When His Majesty was young, he rode horses on the battlefield, killed decisively, and looked down. Although these years he devoted himself to literary fighting and refused to fight with martial arts, it didn't mean that he suddenly became soft-hearted.

Therefore, An Lehou's days are just in line with his title, both peaceful and happy.

He walked all the way, although he was a little drunk, but he was glad that the inner servant followed every step and followed closely, so that he would not fall.

He is very familiar with the road in the palace. Over the years, he has often visited the palace to visit the queen, and he has continued to follow this road to the imperial garden. Not far away, the water of the Fuqu is swaying with blue waves, and the shape is like a white trainer.At this moment, although it is snowing heavily in the middle of winter in the north, there is no bleakness in the south.

Tired from walking, he saw a clean and flat boulder beside Fuqu, leaned on it, closed his eyes a little, felt drunk, and wanted to sleep.

The servants in the palace were afraid that the service would not be good, and the queen would find out about it when they turned around, so they quickly advised: "My lord, this stone is cold, and my lord drank alcohol again, so be careful of getting sick. Maid, help me to go to the nearby hall to rest for a while? "

He shook his head: "Just let me rest here for a while."

The palace servant couldn't do it, so he had to say cautiously: "Why don't you find a big cloak for the Hou Ye to block the wind, so the Hou Ye can rest his feet, so he won't be able to sleep?"

Seeing him nodding his head in response, the palace talent rushed away.

At this moment, the surroundings were extremely silent. He was half asleep and half awake, feeling a bloody road paved in front of him. He seemed to be a child, four or five years old, lying on the shoulder of the palace man and looking over, the long palace In the middle of the road, before the morning sun rose, the palace man whispered in his ear: "When you see the empress, you must greet her!" At the same time, she tried to turn his small body around, so as to teach him to listen to her carefully.

Although he is a child, his mind is already a grown man. Although he feels that this situation is somewhat familiar, he can't help but wonder: How come I became my sister's son?

Empress An Yi gave birth to three children, Qingjun, Xinrui, and Qingyu. These three children were very familiar with his uncle, but now she suddenly turned into a child younger than Qingyu. , what should I do?
That kind of anxiety made his whole heart twitch, no matter how he struggled, the maid thought he was naughty, hugged him tightly, and couldn't teach him to break free.

He watched the court lady carry him to Jingren Palace, he was very surprised—Since entering the palace, An Yi has been living in Chonghua Palace with His Majesty the Emperor, and has never lived in another palace.Today this court lady carried him to Jingren Palace, what is the reason?
Before he reached the gate of Jingren Palace, he could already hear the sound of boards hitting the flesh heavily in the courtyard. At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the nightmare-like past. The things in front of him clearly happened when he was a child. The half-opened palace gate of Ren Palace can see bloodstains winding down the palace steps...

Then, a voice full of resentment suddenly sounded in his mind, which coincided with the voice he heard clearly in his ears: "Xu Feng, you have been a hen that does not lay eggs all your life, and you are only worthy of hugging a court lady." Come and put my son under my knees to count..." Even though he is now a grown man, when he hears it again, he will feel terrified.

However, reality does not allow people to shrink back. The name Xu Feng revealed the cloudy dream in front of him. His heart was beating wildly, but he suddenly realized: Yes, his adoptive mother, the last empress dowager of the Great Chen Kingdom, was named Xu Mingfeng. When she was a queen, she lived in Jingren Palace.

But the strange thing is that he is like a bright mirror in his heart now, knowing that he is not born of the queen, but just raised under her name, so the palace people who serve him are cautious, and hug him every day to please Xu Feng.

The palace man had chosen the time, how could he have heard this, turned his head in his arms and walked back...

He felt cold, and he hid alone in the East Palace bedroom on a bed that was big enough to sleep a dozen children, and got into the bed covered with brocade quilts, but he still felt cold and shivered all over his body.

——The palace man who carried him there that day, and the servants who were acquainted with that palace man have disappeared in the past few days, and the entire East Palace hall is strangely empty and lonely.

Even in a dream, he still remembered the mother-child harmony between the Seventeenth Brother and Concubine Hui in Jingren Palace, and the unconcealable pride when he greeted the Queen.

At that time, he was sitting next to the queen mother. The queen mother held his little hand tightly, as if she was about to crush his little hand, but there was a gentle smile on her face, and she said with a soft smile: "...Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, sister Hui must Take care of Xiao Qiqi with all your heart, we sisters have taken care of the harem together, so that His Majesty will be less troubled..."

He looked at it with the eyes of an adult man, and he also felt that Concubine Hui had a very good life, fresh and bright, just at the age when the flowers were just blooming, and she was favored by the emperor, and her brows could not hide her radiance.

- It was just a flash in the pan.

In his dream, he could still see Seventeenth Brother's small body swollen like a big wax gourd when he picked it up from the Taiye pool in the palace, it was extremely terrifying.

Concubine Hui was going crazy and wanted to bump into the queen mother: "Xu Feng, you bitch, how dare you murder the prince?"

He was standing beside the queen mother, in front of him was Concubine Hui who was like a crazy woman with her teeth and claws, her eyes were blood red, as if she wanted to tear up the person in front of her and swallow her...

Tears welled up in his mother's eyes, and she wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said to his father, "I don't blame Concubine Hui for slandering my concubine. My sister has lost Xiao Qiqi." For a moment, the phlegm was lost in my heart, and I always wanted to vent... Poor Xiao Shiqi, a good boy... It really hurts my concubine's heart and lungs..."

The bright yellow man standing by the pool of Taiye looked at the lunatic Concubine Hui with disgust: "I thought she was sensible, but she also didn't know how to advance or retreat. The mother didn't take good care of the child. Crawling around..."

The father had many children in his life, and most of his energy was entangled in the political affairs of the country, and there were all kinds of flower-like beauties in the harem, so it was pitiful that the rest of his eyes paid little attention to the children.Even so, Xiao Shiqi can be regarded as the most favored one among the brothers in the past two years, and now he is dead, but he has to come in person and sigh.

Although he was young, he didn't understand such a situation at the time. He just felt chilled for no reason. Now that he is back in the past, is it more than just two words to describe it?
"I also blame the concubine. I usually dislike Hui Er's stupidity. I like Xiao Shiqi's cleverness and cuteness. She often jokes with sister Hui and prefers to change Xiao Shiqi to Jingren Palace to raise her. This makes sister Hui misunderstand. The sisters are often in It was a joke, it was originally a concubine's, wasn't it..."

The bright yellow figure moved closer and closer, raised his arm, and patted his mother's back shoulder twice in a comforting manner, sighed, and touched his little head along the way: "Hui'er is really An honest boy!"

……

Beside the cold Taiye Pool, Xiao Shiqi had been carried down for burial, and Concubine Hui was dragged away by the palace servants. The bright yellow figure gradually drifted away. He looked up and saw that the empress mother's always gentle and graceful face was strange. twisted, she smiled with a deep hatred...

He lowered his head, full of desolation, wishing that he had never understood this smile.

The reality is such a lonely cold, just a little child, can't wait to grow up overnight.

He never thought about what to do when he grows up.Even if he was sitting high on the emperor's throne and facing important ministers paying homage, he couldn't make him arouse his interest.

The person sitting in the bead curtain behind him is the master of life and death in this country. What difference does it make if he is asleep or awake?
The emperor's throne was hard, and it was uncomfortable to sleep on, and he could not change his position at will. He could only sleep in a sitting position. He was looking forward to the early end of the court meeting so that he could return to the Chonghua Palace.

After his father passed away, he moved in.The queen mother became the empress dowager, and moved from Jingren Palace to Yining Palace.

In Chonghua Palace, there is a big warm bed and a warm smiling face.

The person with a warm smile is called An Yi.

When it was cold, she would tell him to add more clothes, and when it was hot, she would tell him to reduce his clothes. If someone in the palace neglected him, she would find a way to vent his anger on him, and once even sued the queen mother .

The empress dowager is a loving mother, the most virtuous, magnanimous and kind person in the palace, so it is naturally impossible for the palace servants to ride on the emperor's head...Which one of those palace servants who secretly bullied him will end up well?

Everyone laughed at him for being dull and stupid, and treated him like a fool, only she was kind and nice, never had an expression of disgust, or a sarcastic sarcasm.

He felt warm, couldn't help but leaned towards it, like a pot of fire, getting closer, it seemed that even his chest was getting warm.Even though his back was still cold, it couldn't stop him subconsciously approaching the pot of fire.

Those years of being together are slowly unfolding in front of his eyes like a picture scroll. The two of them were having a lot of fun on the bed. He happened to see her delicate and exquisite collarbone. tickle...

He laughed and fell on the dragon bed, letting the pride in her eyebrows spread...

Only then did he realize that he already looked like a teenager, Yuanyuan was like a fat white ball, and the flesh on his cheeks was pulled to the sides by An Yi... There is always something wrong with being too familiar, she is his companion Been there for too long, so long that she forgot all her precautions, and played around with him like a brother next door...

Her smile is so warm.

He slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her face, secretly mocking Yan Ping's blindness, but he heard a whisper in his ear: "Master Hou...Master Hou, wake up..."

This annoying voice disturbed the smiling face in front of him, and he exclaimed: "Xiaoyi..." suddenly woke up from his dream.

The waiter saw that An Lehou, who was lying drunk on the stone, woke up calling the queen's name, but he didn't take it seriously. He only thought that the country's uncle and the queen had a deep relationship. Maybe he dreamed of the queen. Sleeping on the stone to catch a cold, or go to the side hall to take a rest?" Then he put on the big cloak that was brought from his hand and put it on the waiter An Le.

He slept very well this time, and he was still ignorant at the moment. He walked with the help of the palace attendant, and asked again. The palace attendant said that the evening banquet in the palace was coming to an end, and the carriages and horses of the adults were already there. Waiting at the gate of the palace, he was carefully escorted out of the palace by the palace attendant all the way, and found his own frame to go home.

He was in a trance all the way. He remembered the fire at Jinxiu Pavilion in the carriage, and the days when he was exiled in a foreign land. Later, he was traced by the royalists and approached secretly. At that time, he was young and always thought of having some achievements to build, stupid. Stayed Xiaoyi will not have to work in the backcountry from now on.

Then, he's always been a fool.

The silly Xiao Yi he thought was actually quite open-minded and optimistic, compared to him, he was a hundred times smarter.

Do you have to bang your head and bleed to know how naive you were back then?
Even a little Taoist nun adopted by King Yi, the orphan girl Xiao Wu, could bully him at will. In those days when he was honored and humbled, he kept his eyes open all night until dawn, and his side was cold, which always made him miss those people who were accompanied by others. day.

The lights in the house were approaching, and the slender figure in the room was reflected on the window. He couldn't help but paused, and opened the door. Xiao Wu was sitting under the lamp and waiting quietly. Children, now she is much gentler, honoring her adoptive father first, and serving her husband, she has never touched a weapon for a long time.

That year, when he and An Yi escaped from the Dachen Palace, he never thought about what the future would be like, but just wanted to follow the warmth in front of him and keep walking...

He didn't know which fork in the road, and he accidentally got lost.

Fortunately, he is back.

And she, still in place, was willing to extend her hand to give him warmth.
