in the sound of swallows

Chapter 203
Some people's ups and downs of fate began after birth, while some people's wings were cut off by God as soon as they were born.

Mingsi was conceived in a rare and good mother's womb, but was born in a time of crisis, her legs were disabled and she could not walk.

Inheriting the appearance and wisdom of his father and queen mother, the five-year-old Ming Sigui already understands people and understands love.Although she can only sit in a wooden wheelchair, she also understands why the queen mother, who already has everything she needs, looks a little sad every time she sees him.

"The queen mother invited a famous doctor for you. It was recommended by Imperial Physician Liu. It is said that he is very good at treating legs and feet." Shen Guiyan said to the eldest prince gently.

"No need." He turned his head to the side, and said flatly, "It's okay for my son to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it."

Shen Guiyan sighed, for a five-year-old child, the decision is already so firm that it cannot be changed, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad.But as a mother, how could she watch her son unable to stand for the rest of his life?
The world is stable, and the Empress has spent all her energy on finding a doctor for him and persuading him to let him accept.

Ming Sigui closed the door and didn't see her. Of course, this behavior was later scolded by his father, who directly came to let someone break open the door, and took Nuo'er away.

So he had to endure the mother's daily nagging again.

He did not refuse treatment. In fact, he went to ask the imperial physician in private. He looked at them seriously with a small face and said, "You can help me heal when the mother doesn't know. Acupuncture and medicine are all fine, but if you want Promise me that you can't tell the queen mother, I'm afraid that if the cure doesn't work, her last hope will be lost."

Imperial Physician Liu was so touched by the child, he persuaded other imperial physicians to discuss various ways to heal the eldest prince's leg, and secretly treated him for a whole year.

A year later, Ming Sigui could stand up slowly, and could also walk with small steps under the support of others.He saw some hope, and prepared a surprise for his mother.

A six-year-old child already understands filial piety and gratitude.

When he stood up at the birthday banquet, all the hardships he had suffered this year were rewarded, and the queen mother was finally relieved. Although she cried louder than ever before, this time she cried with a smile.

Ming Sigui hugged his mother's waist, and didn't tell her what was written in Imperial Physician Liu's medical booklet.

"If you can walk and stand, you will stop at walking and standing."

He still couldn't run around the house and yard like Nuo'er, but he could stand up and walk with the support of others.

But that's enough.

Later, the eldest prince fell in love with wheelchairs, claiming that wheelchairs save trouble. Although he can walk, he still often uses wheelchairs to get in and out.The empress let go of all her heart problems, and her whole body became more energetic, and even the emperor's mood improved, and he was always smiling when he went to court.

The present is a prosperous age, and there is no one else in the harem. Ming Sigui grew up to the age of 16 carefree, from a sensible child to a handsome young man.

Nuo'er has been with him all the time. Although she is considered a foster daughter by the empress, she does the same thing as a maid every day, taking care of the eldest prince and making him happy.With the change of time, the little girl at that time has also turned into a charming girl.

The queen thought, it should be time to give the emperor a concubine, right?

Ming Sigui had only Nuoer by his side for so many years, and none of the other court ladies could get close to him, so Shen Guiyan felt it was time.

However, the world is impermanent, when the queen asked Nuoer if she had someone she liked, Nuoer blinked and said, "Yes."

Shen Guiyan smiled and asked, "Who is it?"

Nuo'er happily replied: "The son of General Zhang's family, he can ride a horse!"

The sky darkened in an instant, Shen Guiyan was dumbfounded, and subconsciously looked back at the embroidered screen next to her.

A wheelchair was parked behind the screen, and the First Prince sat quietly without making a sound.

"Huanger, you really can't force things like feelings."

Nuoer bounced away, Shen Guiyan took Ming Sigui's hand, and said earnestly: "Nuoer has been with you for so long, and now you like someone else, you can't bear to hate her, but you don't have a destiny, Understand?"

Ming Sigui lowered his eyes, and after a long time, he chuckled lightly, his voice was clear and clear as a teenager: "Mother, don't worry, since Nuo'er likes Zhang Jia Erlang, I can only help her."

Shen Guiyan sized him up: "Can you let go?"

The eldest prince smiled and said: "I didn't like it too much at first, there is something I can't let go of, the queen mother is too worried."

Shen Guiyan nodded suspiciously, and said that he would prepare for the election of his concubine before leaving.

Ming Sigui sat quietly in the wheelchair, he was the only one left in the hall.He tried to stand up, walked slowly from the wheelchair to the bed, staggered, naturally it would be better to swing the whip immediately.

With a chuckle, the eldest prince lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Nuo'er went to the kitchen to make some snacks, and came back quickly. Seeing someone lying on the bed, she said happily, "Your Highness, this servant made some snacks and added your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus honey!"

The person on the bed didn't respond, and Nuo'er ran over curiously to see that he had fallen asleep.

What a good-looking person, Nuo'er squatted beside the bed and thought, the eldest prince has inherited all the advantages of the emperor and empress, if it weren't for the inconvenience of legs and feet, he should really be the most beautiful person in the world.

He reached out to touch his long eyelashes, but the eldest prince just turned over and avoided her.

Cheapskate, Nuo'er pouted, sat at the table and ate sweet-scented osmanthus cake by herself.She grew up in this palace and was extremely well protected by the eldest prince. She had all her natural instincts, but she also learned gratitude and generosity from him.No one in the palace dared to bully her, and no one dared to say anything wrong about her.

The last time General Zhang's son came to the palace, he was also very respectful to her and taught her how to ride a horse.When she was pushing the eldest prince, she always walked very slowly. For the first time, she ran as fast as the wind on the horse. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak. It was very exciting.

That young master of the Zhang family had beautiful features, although he was not as good-looking as the eldest prince, but the way he rode a horse made her feel really good, as if he had seen it in a dream.

So today when the queen asked her who she liked, she said Mr. Zhang.I have seen them all in my dreams, and I must like them.

After eating a plate of pastries, before the eldest prince woke up, Nuo'er simply got up, went out with an empty plate to put it away, and then went to see if Young Master Zhang had entered the palace today.

Ming Sigui opened his eyes, as if it had been a long time, but the smell of osmanthus honey in the room has not dissipated.

After being silent for a long time, he went out and told the palace servants: "Bring the quieter maids in the palace, and I will re-select the maids who are close to me."

The palace people were very surprised, and immediately ran to report to the queen, the queen mother sighed, and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send all the officials and women of the right age to him for selection.

But only one is allowed.

Ming Sigui chose the quietest one, named Xin'er, who looked somewhat similar to Nuo'er, but he couldn't run and jump, and could only stand quietly behind him.

When Nuo'er came back from playing outside for a long time, someone was already moving things out of her room.

"What are you doing?" Nuo'er went over in a panic and stopped her: "Why do you want to move my things?"

The palace servants respectfully saluted her: "The eldest prince has already chosen another personal maid. This room is the closest to the main hall, so it will naturally be vacated. Your palace, the Empress, has been rearranged. In the Chenxi Palace .”

Nuo'er looked at them in disbelief for a while, then turned and ran into the main hall.

Ming Sigui was reading a book behind the desk, and a new maid beside him quietly accompanied him and poured tea for him.

"Your Highness?" Nuo'er's eyes were red, and she looked at him puzzled: "Why?"

Mingsi didn't raise his head when he turned back, and smiled faintly: "The queen mother is already planning to arrange a marriage for you, and it would be a little inappropriate to live in my palace. I have already chosen Xin'er to continue to serve you, so you can move to Chenxi Palace first." .”

marriage?Nuo'er was dumbfounded, and stared blankly at him for a long time: "I don't want to get married yet..."

She got married, what should he do?The eldest prince is picky and willful, he will bully others, right?Moreover, they have been together for so long, why does she have to get married?
The eldest prince ignored her, and Xin'er next to her was also silent.Sitting and standing between the two, it looked like a harmonious painting. If she was not in the painting, if she was, she would be the one who destroyed the picture.
