Chapter 2 Chapter Two

It was the first time for the servants to see such a scene, and they were completely frightened.Seeing that Shanshan was about to come forward to accept the crime, I explained on the sidelines: "The Queen Mother, this is the dress my mother made for me. She told me that no matter how sad I am, I must be strong and dress myself up beautifully. I also wore this dress she made when she died." The Empress Dowager's face softened a little, and she stopped fussing with me, took my sister and me by the hand and walked into her Shou'an Palace. After taking our seats in the Shouan Palace, she asked us kindly, and asked the maid to bring us hot milk tea, shortbread, almonds, melon seeds, and colorful candies with where the tribute was written.

My sister may be tired from crying, so she picked up these and ate them with relish. The queen mother was relieved to see it, but seeing that I just put those tempting snacks aside without looking at them, she asked, "Why don't you eat them?" I was about to answer, but I heard Shanshan rushing to answer: "The little lady of the servant's family is so sad that she has no appetite." The queen mother seemed to be somewhat satisfied and nodded, "Aijia just thought she was young and didn't understand anything. Now that she looks at it this way, she also knows that she is sad for her father."

I was speechless and sick for a while. It's just that I don't like sweets. Children who don't know anything are greedy for sweets. Their teeth will be blackened by moths. While talking, a eunuch shouted in a thin voice outside the door: "The emperor is here!" The queen mother got up, and everyone else knelt down hurriedly, and I got up after seeing it. Then I saw a man in his thirties walking in, wearing a shining golden dragon robe, striding in, very dignified. His arrival filled the whole room with a pleasant aroma, which made me feel a little dizzy. Later, I asked the Twelfth Prince, and he told me that it was ambergris that only the emperor could inhale.

He entered the house, greeted the Queen Mother first, and then walked straight to me. He crouched down so he was at the same height as me.He actually took my little hand and asked me in a gentle tone: "Are you Yunyun's daughter?" Yunyun, that is so kind. I nodded and replied, "My mother's name is Chu Yun." There was a smile between his brows and eyes, "Sure enough, I'm not mistaken, you and your mother look very similar." I said, "Because my mother and I look alike, my father doesn't like me." His smile disappeared, replaced by melancholy, and then he hugged me like a treasure and said, "I like you, and I will love you."

I asked him in an adult tone: "Really? No joke." He must be surprised that such a small person like me can say such a thing, so he smiled amusedly, "No joke." I hold out my little finger. He was a little surprised again, but he stretched out his finger without refusing. His fingers are twice as thick as mine, thick and rough, warm and comfortable. The two little fingers are entangled, and I know that at this moment I have the most important promise in the world. In the evening, the emperor specially invited me and my sister to entertain everyone in the harem. I lay in the arms of the emperor and looked at the envious eyes of the noble princes and concubines. I thought they might have never been embraced by their father like this before, and I, a concubine kids can.

So I smiled even brighter. I looked down at my sister who was sitting below the rules from a high position, her expression was a little lonely. During this period, the emperor only asked her a few symbolic questions, and then ignored her. She has always been the apple of my father's eye, and she is used to taking pity on me from a high position.But now, everything is turned upside down, I have what she had before, or even what she didn't have. Poor sister. In this way, my sister and I lived in the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace. I was arranged to live in Xiyan Residence, and my sister was next door to me, Xiaoxunxuan.

I first bathed in the clear soup Jasper Pool, watching the steaming water bubbling out from the phoenix-shaped water head in eight directions, and the moist mist filled the whole bathroom immediately, and the scattered petals on the water followed my breath. Stirring and rippling, I was surrounded by beautiful courtesans respectfully serving me. I looked at everything in front of me, like drinking, and I was a little drunk. I came out of the bath naked, and immediately a maid put on a soft bathrobe for me.That yukata is Hatsumomo pink, clean and pure in color, with scattered pink and white petal patterns on it, and a thick layer piled up at the corners of the yukata, but just such a yukata alone is better than what I have seen outside the palace so far. All the beautiful clothes are more exquisite and beautiful.That Gong'e said that many things were specially prepared for the two children by the emperor's orders.

Wearing that loose and comfortable bathrobe, I arrived at my Xiyan residence under the guidance of Gong'e. I looked up and looked around, it was really a luxurious place. I stepped on the thick and soft Persian rug and went straight to my bed. Layers of thin-colored veils show sky blue at the folds, embroidered with colorful butterflies.There are all kinds of small pendants hanging on the top of the tent, including sachets, purses, colored balls and silver bells of different sizes and colors. If you open the door and there is a breeze blowing outside the house, you can make a pleasant sound.

On both sides of the bed, there are polished dark gold and copper beasts, and the scent of pine cones is exuding from their mouths. I went to the vanity mirror again and opened the small drawer, which was full of various bonuses, rouge, spices, and jewelry. I looked at myself in the bronze mirror with vine patterns around the night pearl, and saw my charming silver eyes. I smiled at her, and the people there also smiled at me. I drove away the other maids, leaving only Shanshan by my side. I walked to the nanmu tea table and sat down, raised the exquisite porcelain teapot and poured myself a cup of tea prepared before going to bed, and drank it in one gulp.

"Miss..." Shanshan looked at me worriedly. "Shan, I heard people say that Daddy was shot with arrows in his body, but he was still desperate to kill the enemy. At the last moment he fell down, he was able to pull his bow and kill a senior general of Huihe." "My lord general has always been a real man." "This poor man tortured my mother to death, and finally tortured himself to death." Shanshan lowered her head, "Miss, you shouldn't say that. You don't look like a child at all." I stared at Shanshan with innocent eyes, "Child? It is indeed a child's right to be naive and pretend to be crazy, but I didn't have such a right when my biological father was around. Can I do it now?"
