Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

"Emperor, will you use Jiangnan?"

Looking at my cautious eyes, Pei Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and his voice seemed dull and low when he said, "Jiangnan, sooner or later there will be a big fight."

My heart suddenly trembled.

Jiangnan will have a big battle to fight. In fact, I do n’t need to ask him. I already knew in my heart that the rebellious forces that dominate the six provinces of Jiangnan will not surrender because they have broken their weapons. It will be built without power, sooner or later, a mighty wave will set off on the river.

but--

Just when I wanted to say something, Pei Yuanzhang said, "But not now."

"..."

"Now, it's not time to start the war."

I was relieved subconsciously, and I felt that the hands holding my hand were also slightly used. I raised my head, facing his tired eyes, even when he spoke, his voice seemed a bit fuzzy: "do not worry."

"..."

"I will find my daughter."

"..."

"Well, miss her too ..."

His voice was getting deeper and lower, and it was almost impossible to hear the last few words, but the whistle-like voice sounded in my ear, but it made my heart tremble slightly.

The room was very quiet, as if the entire Jingren Palace was quiet because of his arrival. Only the rustling sound of the courtyard in the mid-autumn wind blowing on the leaves on the ground, and the sound of breathing near him, in silence, he was slow Slowly speaking, the voice seemed low and a little dull: "You are almost five years old now."

"..."

"Five-year-old Li'er, what should she look like?"

"..."

"I don't know."

Maybe it's because of my relationship with him all these years. Maybe it's because of the disappearance of Li Er that I put all my anger on him and Nangong Li Zhu. It almost made me forget that he was The fact that the father is a child.

but--

Over the years, he has been sending people to the south ...

Knowing Clue's clues, come and tell me immediately ...

The sender failed to find Lier, frustrated and decadent ...

I have always neglected it. In fact, he will have the consciousness of being a father. All my emotions, happiness, expectation, loss, throbbing, and even sadness, will also be there. The daughter is out of the house, and the distressed and caring, maybe more than me as a mother.

Thinking of this, my heart could not help but soften a bit.

He also held my hand and saw the traces of burns on it, but didn't ask. He just rubbed my chin with his chin and lips gently. I couldn't speak any more, only that I just got burned. The place was hot again, and the faint pain had spread to my heart—

What should a five-year-old Lier look like?

My daughter, what does she look like now?

When I was five?

At this moment, Pei Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and compared to the air, muttering, "She, shouldn't it be so high?"

"..."

"Or, should it be higher?"

I have never seen him do such a useless thing, maybe because he has always been an overly sensible person, without such sensitivity, but for some reason, there is a blur in front of him. As if it was him, as if another figure appeared in the sight, reflected in the milky mist unique to Nishikawa early morning, the tall man leaned down, and his face was filled with a petting smile, reaching out and gesturing. ——

"Come, let Dad see how tall you are ..."

The thick palm touched the top of my head, bringing a soft, warm, and reassuring feeling.

"Haha, my little lightness, I grow taller again ..."

"Oh, I'm getting fat."

...

Those sounds were loosing in the ears, and finally slowly disappeared into the ashes of time. After being silent for a long time, I shook my head slightly, as if bewildered, stretched out my hand for a moment, and said gently, "She should be almost so high ..."

"..." Pei Yuanzhang looked up at me with a gentle look.

I only care about my murmur: "Her eyes should be large, black and white, like a pool of spring water without ripples, fresh and clean."

"..."

"Her face should be fat, round, fleshy ..."

"..."

"The chin is a bit pointed. When you laugh, there will be two small meat vortexes."

"..."

"She has a good voice, but prefers writing rather than singing."

"..."

"She likes someone to praise her, even if she recognizes a word more than yesterday, she must let everyone know that she works hard and is smart ... she wants someone to care about her and praise her ..."

Having said all this vaguely, I suddenly felt a sore nose, and turned my head away.

At this moment, his chin was suddenly caught, and his face was pinched back by him. The red eyes were facing the eyes with the same heavy haze. Although his face was tired, he could not hide the restrained sharpness in his eyes, as if To see through all my expressions.

After a long silence, he spoke, his voice low and dumb: "He will find her back."

I looked into his eyes and suddenly said, "What if I can't find it?"

His face froze.

"The emperor has many children, but Weichen, only this one."

I heard him faintly grind his teeth, almost a precursor to anger, but the fingertip that held my chin was convulsed for a long time, but it didn't hurt me. After a long silence, he vigorously said: "Hehe You, this one! "

I looked at his almost red eyes until this time, finally slowly, nodded his head.

.

Pei Yuanzhang and I weren't reconciled, but the expression on his face that day when he left Jingren Palace seemed to relieve many people.

Even Chang Qing has a little joy on his face these days.

Unlike her face, the weather is getting more and more gloomy. Thick dark clouds cover the sky above the imperial city like a huge black palm, whistling past with the cold wind, the weather is getting colder every day, Finally on that night and night, I could hear the fine sound of thumping in the silence all night. When I opened the window in the morning, I saw the whiteness of the place.

Snowing.

I stood in front of the window and looked at the vermilion carvings. Bai Xue was covered with a thick layer. The cloudy clouds for many days finally dispersed, and the sun shone on the snowdrift, and it was a bit dazzling.

I leaned by the window and looked outside silently. After a while, I heard Shui Xiu hee hee hee from the distance.

When approaching, she and Wu Yan both held towels filled with hot water in a copper basin. When they saw me leaning against the window, Shui Xiu said loudly: "Master, how can you blow hair like this!"

I have n’t recovered yet, she has rushed in, set the copper basin, immediately picked up the fox and rushed over and wrapped it in me, holding my hand and saying: "Look! Look! Hand is so It's cold, what can I do if I catch cold ?! "

I smiled: "It's all right."

"It's okay!" She muttered. "If you're sick, my uncle and me will be scolded again."

I looked at her, and then looked at Wu Yan who gave her a white look next to her. She didn't speak. She was dragged into the bathroom to wash her, and she was soaked in hot water for a long time.

After having breakfast, I went to Xia Renfang again, and worked a long time before letting Shuixiu accompany me to see Chang Qing. This is a long way and I walk every day, but it ’s snowing. Still a little different.

As soon as I entered her room, a warm rush came, and Kouer smiled and came up to help me take over the clothes, looked up, Chang Qing was sitting there frowning and drinking medicine, please see me when I came, please stretch your fingers Point to the chair next to it, continue to bitter face, and drink the last potion of the bottom of the bowl.

I smiled and asked Shui Soo to take out the porcelain bowl in the small basket and bring it to her. Open the lid and take a look. A smile appeared on her face: "orange butter?"

I laughed and said, "Mother-in-law tasted it, Wei Chen didn't boil for a long time, and she did it sourly."

She took a sip and suddenly her eyes were sour, but she said, "Well, that's all."

After taking several bites, she felt a little embarrassed. She put down the small bowl and wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk scarf. She smiled: "No wonder someone always praises you for your craftsmanship, and only tasted in this palace today, it is really good."

I listened and just smiled.

Seeing that I didn't answer, she didn't say much, she just said, "Let's go out with my palace."

I listened and hurriedly stood up and saw Kouer came over to help her. When I stood straight, I could see that her belly was a lot bigger. Although the winter clothes were heavy, I couldn't hide the slight bulge. On the lower abdomen, she ate a lot after pregnancy, and various tonics were usually sent to Jingren Palace, but her stomach was lifted, but she did not see any fat, but she lost some weight, and her belly became bigger.

Kouer advised: "Madam, it's slippery outside in snowy days, so don't go out."

Chang Qing smiled lightly, "Isn't the snow stopped. It's okay."

"but--"

"Rest assured, Honmiya knows herself." She waved her hand. "Yu Yi also said that Honmiya should be active."

In this way, everyone is not good enough to persuade him, so I brought her a thick fox fur, and I stepped forward to help her, and listened to her laugh: "You are too careful."

The group went out of Jingren Palace and slowly walked to the Royal Garden.

After the fall, there is not much scenery to see in the Royal Garden, but the snow is not the same. The white snow surrounding it is brightened by the red walls and blue tiles. Exquisite, the snow on the bluestone slab was swept to both sides, and slowly walked along the stone road, past the long pavilion, and boarded the terrace.

Standing high, all the surrounding landscapes have a panoramic view. There is a white snow in the Royal Garden, and the trees and red plum blossoms in the corners are bright and moving. This looks very pleasing to the eye.

I smiled and didn't speak. They buckled the cushions they brought, and I helped her sit on the bench.

She leaned there and looked very comfortable, turning her head and smiling at them, and said, "Go down and play, don't run away."

These little girls were also wild, and the queen was on vacation. Thanks to grace immediately, a few people ran with a smile and ran away. They were drilling holes and playing snowballs. .

I still stood behind Chang Qing and looked at her calmly.

She brought me here, naturally not for the sake of snow appreciation.

Even after I boiled orange butter in the next room, I already heard Xiao Fuzi come and say that Li Fei brought a few concubines to tell the queen, and he didn't really listen to the details, but more or less I can guess.

After sitting for a while, Chang Qing still looked outside and slowly said, "There will be a few days before the New Year."

I said gently: "Weichen knows."

She turned and looked at me: "This year's banquet, the emperor let Li Fei do it."

I nodded.

The banquets of previous years were performed by the queen, but this year she was pregnant. Naturally, she will not let her be tired. Such a heavy task will be given to Shenrou according to the past etiquette. This time, it was Nangong Lizhu.

And, the days are clear.

When the New Year comes, there is no wish to say that there must be no major sacrifice celebrations within three months, and this time has passed.

In other words, after the annual banquet, the situation will gradually become clear in the court and harem.

Although Chang Qing is pregnant now, the emperor refused to let her handle many things, but it really wasn't just to let her sit down. On the contrary, I know that there are many things on Taishi's side that bother her.

Thinking of this, I walked over gently, covering her with a cool hand on the fence.

"My mother is at ease."

"..."

"There are green babies."

Chang Qing raised her head and looked at me. I don't know if she was worried or other emotions. I could feel that her brows didn't relax and she remained silent for a long time. She said gently: "Green baby."

"Ok?"

"That's Nangong Lizhu."
