Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Yizhi

"Today's momentary glory may not be easy in the future. However, this limelight has to come out." Of course, it has a lot to do with what King Quan Yu said. "Miss, don't worry, even if she is favored again, she is still a child, and their status and interests will not be endangered. I believe they will miss her early loneliness and will not embarrass her." "I hope so." "Just, what about the satin given by the queen?" "I don't know how to wear it. Put it away first, maybe you can use it later." As soon as I finished speaking, I thought of another thing, and said to Shanshan: "By the way, tomorrow I will pack up all the extravagant items in Xiyanju, Daji may come in a few days."

Shanshan didn't know why I said such words, let alone why I concluded that Da Ji would come, but she just nodded obediently. Sure enough, the second eldest princess came to my Xiyan residence. At that time, I was playing chess with Shanshan, when suddenly a servant ran in to inform Ren and Diji that they had arrived. Shanshan looked up at me in surprise, and I smiled helplessly at her. I went out to meet Daji myself, saluted her, and said "Benevolence and Diji are auspicious." She hurriedly helped me up, and said enthusiastically, "Why do you have to do this kind of politeness between us. Besides, the father raised you as his own daughter, and you call me Ren and Di Ji seem strange, so you just follow the twelve princes." Just call me Da Ji."

I smiled sincerely, "Thank you Daji." So she took my hand and went into the inner room. She entered the room and looked around inadvertently, and saw that my bedroom was nothing special, and she seemed to feel better. She kindly asked me if I was used to living in the palace, and I responded gracefully one by one. "I met Jiuji just now, and she yelled at me that you have a very precious screen here, why didn't you see it?" It's not good for me to yell inwardly, everyone knows that the emperor bestowed me this screen, but I took it in instead, isn't this place without three hundred taels of silver?

I hastily responded accordingly: "It's Chinese New Year, the maids took it for cleaning, but I haven't had time to put it back." So I winked at the maid. Da Ji looked at the screen that had been taken out, and even a person like her who was used to rare treasures couldn't help but her eyes lit up. She couldn't help but came to the screen and walked around it, aggressive and amazed. "Sure enough, it's a good thing." She commented while admiring it. "If Da Ji likes it, take it." Da Ji smiled, "How can I steal someone's beauty? Besides, I'm here to give gifts, so how can I take your things instead?"

Then a maid of Daji stepped forward and took out some jewelry wrapped in silk, and carefully spread them out in front of me. I pretended to be apprehensive, "Why does Nuxi want Da Ji's things?" "You helped me a lot yesterday, these things are just a little care." Daji was very refreshing, seeing that her heart had been delivered, she got up and said goodbye. When she left, she turned her head and said to me, "If you have nothing to do, go to Fengyi Palace. The queen mother said that she likes you very much." I took a deep breath, I didn't expect that an unintentional sentence yesterday could win the love of the Queen and Da Ji.

As soon as Daji left, Shanshan was about to rearrange the hidden objects. I stopped her, "Let's keep it for now." After about half a stick of incense, Daji's maid came over and said that Daji had lost her jade earring, and she probably dropped it here. Sure enough, a small green jade earring was found in the gap of the mat, the maid thanked her repeatedly, but rolled her eyes around, and then left. Da Ji is indeed a smart person. Shanshan looked at me with complicated eyes. "Miss, how do you know Daji will come today?" "I helped her a lot last night, and she will come to thank me today, so she owes me a favor."

"Then why put away those valuable utensils?" "There is a saying: 'See what's on the outside, know what's inside'. Daji wants to use this to guess whether my favoredness will endanger her status. The emperor loves me so much, so she is naturally a little wary of me. " "Then why did the young lady know that Da Ji would send someone to observe again?" I sighed, "I don't know, I'm just being cautious." Shanshan lowered her head, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, she seemed to be speaking to me but also to herself, "Miss, are you really only nine years old?"

I know that Shanshan is afraid of me, but why am I not afraid of myself like this. On the morning of the third day of junior high school, I woke up and saw that the outside was already a vast expanse of whiteness, and snowflakes were falling on the ground one after another. This is the first snow this winter. "It's snowing?!" I exclaimed in surprise. "Miss, why are you making such a fuss?" Shanshan smiled and brought a change of clothes, today's cherry red brocade robe trimmed with white rabbit fur, with a wishful knot hanging on the tail, very unique. "Miss, are you cold, do you want some more charcoal fire? This morning the emperor sent his Eunuch Zhu over here, and specially instructed that if you need more charcoal fire, please ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for it, so that the young lady cannot catch the cold. "

"It's already very warm this way," I answered, helping to quickly get dressed myself, washed up in a hurry, and rushed out. "Miss!" Shanshan caught up with me, and put a hat with rabbit fur and tassels that matched this dress on my head. "Where are you going, Miss?" "I'll tell you when I get back!" I ran away without a trace. Panting, I ran to Qinchunyuan. Last time I made an appointment with the Twelfth Prince. When it snows for the first time, I will come to Qinchunyuan. I even made a bet that whoever gets here first can ask the other party to do something for me.

Fortunately, I came first. The snow is still falling one after another, Qin Chunyuan's spring flowers have not yet arrived, and it is still barren and desolate. But there is something interesting about pressing snow with dead branches. I came to the swing among the peach blossoms, and the snow had piled up thickly. I really haven't been here for a long time. I stretched out my hand, and snowflakes fell on my little palm, which was cool. Suddenly there was a sound of creaking and trampling snow from behind, and I knew it was the Twelfth Prince who was coming, so I turned around and gave him a charming smile.

The person who came was stunned. It wasn't the Twelve Princes, but King Quan Yu. He stared straight at me at first, but immediately realized his gaffe, and immediately returned to his usual indifferent demeanor. I never thought that King Quan Yu would come to this sparsely populated garden at this time. He wouldn't be interested in coming here to enjoy the snow, would he? I just bowed to him hastily. "Your name is Nuxi?" He narrowed his eyes and asked me. Because of what happened the day before yesterday, I was very disgusted with him, so I took a few steps back deliberately, keeping a distance from him, and said something in my words: "The humble name of a commoner girl may pollute the noble ears of the prince." Unexpectedly, he smiled instead of anger, "I heard General Dan say that he has a young daughter who is precocious and different from ordinary people. When I saw him today, she was just a willful and ignorant little girl. Her words were full of gunpowder. I offended you." huh, lady?" My heart skipped a beat, did Dad mention me in front of him?What do you say about me? It's nothing more than not liking what I say. Hearing his teasing tone, I was angry and annoyed, and said angrily: "Anyway, I'm just a humble concubine, so why should the prince say something that doesn't offend me?" He said: "You kept mentioning the word humble at the beginning, but I didn't say it. Besides, I never divided the word high and low in my heart." It's just that these words may not be effective when applied to me, because my father always hates my birth.I thought so in my heart, but my face was just sullen. "The general asked me to entrust you with something before he died." I didn't even move my eyebrows, I just listened expressionlessly. King Quan Yu continued: "He said that after his death, he was buried in the Dan family's ancestral grave in the western suburbs of the imperial capital." I couldn't help but sneer, Dad, you treated me like this before you were alive, do you still expect me to pay homage to you? King Quan Yu must have noticed the indifference on my face, frowned and said, "You are different from your sister, this is not the attitude a daughter should have." I am extremely angry, I hate others comparing me with my sister, why should she compare with me? Recalling the words "your father" he said to his sister that day, he blurted out: "You don't have to worry about our family affairs! What do you know?" After saying this, I regretted it. After all, I am too young to be able to hide my emotions and anger, and to be so disrespectful to the prince in a hurry. If he tells the queen mother, and the queen mother has always disliked me, maybe he will find a reason to kick me out of the palace. And out of the palace, what else do I have.So my body trembled slightly, and my face turned pale. King Quan Yu must have never thought that someone would yell at him like this, he was taken aback, then he sneered, and answered me in an extremely cold voice: "You are right, this is your family matter. Interest management, just entrusted by the dead." When he said "dead man", my body couldn't help shaking. so cold. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving me wanting to cry in the howling wind and snow, but I didn't shed tears after all. However, the last sentence he threw made me toss and turn for a long time. He said: "Concubine Yang hangs down the curtain and talks to the officials, she still calls herself a slave." After that, I never saw King Quan Yu again. I heard that he returned to the army overnight. The princes cannot come to the capital every year, not only because their fiefs are far away from the capital, but also because of the safety of the capital.So this rare meeting, the princes stayed for a long time. However, once the fifteenth day passed, the princes and the Empress who had left the court had to go back. King Yuanzang went back first, but not many people came to see him off, most of them just sent their envoys to greet him symbolically. The strangest thing about King Yuanzang is that I will come to see him off, because I am the celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is a prince who is lonely and unfavorable, and there is not much intersection. I just smiled and came to King Yuanzang, and said to him in a low voice: "Nuxi thinks that the prince is just in a state of despair for a while, and he will be blessed in the future." He looked at me in surprise at first, and then took it as my child's innocent words, but he was still very grateful to me: "Miss, I thank you for your kindness here." He used "I" instead of "my lord". With his sincerity and kindness, God should not treat him badly. When Da Ji left, it was much more solemn. Not only the queen came to send it off in person, but the emperor and queen mother also sent people to present the reward. The mother and daughter can't see each other often, and they have to part again at this time, so they reluctantly bid farewell. The queen's eyes were red, and she recited the words "next time I will definitely come here with my son-in-law and my grandson". Daji also shed a few tears, and held the queen's hand for a long time, unwilling to let go. Daji finally got into the car under the urging of everyone, but she still reluctantly turned her head and waved goodbye to us, shedding tears all the way. The most special one is King Nanying, who has no intention of leaving after the fifteenth day. On the surface, it was said that his mother and concubine Jing Zhaoyi was sick and had to wait in front of the bed, but she was very considerate when she went to the emperor to ask his health. I don't want him to procrastinate so much but cause me a lot of trouble. I played with the Twelfth Prince very late that day, and when I returned to Xiyan Residence, I found that Shanshan didn't welcome me in as cheerfully as usual, but instead looked preoccupied. "What's the matter, Shan?" Shanshan did not answer, but shed tears silently. Aunt Wang who was waiting for me came over and took Shanshan's hand, and softly persuaded: "Miss, don't be overthinking it. You are so lucky. Even if you are just the concubine of King Nanying, you are still a master. You are superior to others." I understood everything immediately after hearing this. It turned out that Nanying Wang accidentally saw Shanshan who helped me pick Numei when he was wandering in Feidongyuan, and he fell in love with her. Shanshan is twenty-five years old this year. Although she is not as beautiful and charming as the young girl, she has a mature charm, and Shanshan also has beautiful features and dignified demeanor, which really makes people's hearts move. "Who allowed it?! I won't let Shanshan go!" Aunt Wang sighed, "Miss, King Nanying invited the queen mother directly, and the queen mother has already issued a decree." I saw the decree of Shuangfeng printed in bright yellow next to it. "I'll go find the emperor!" This was my first thought, besides the emperor, who else can reject the Queen Mother's edict? Aunt Wang grabbed me. This Aunt Wang has been in the palace for thirty years, and she has seen a lot. I usually have to ask her for advice.In addition, my mother has been kind to her before, and she is also loyal to me, so she doesn't care about taboos at this time, and she speaks out to me. "Miss, don't offend King Nanying." "why?" "He is the eldest son of the emperor." "so what?" "He may be made crown prince in the future." I laughed contemptuously, "Only by him? His concubine mother is just a Zhaoyi!" Aunt Wang shook her head, "Jing Zhaoyi has a very good reputation in the palace, maybe she will be promoted in the future." "You mean...you mean the imperial concubine who has been hanging there all this time?" "Yes," Aunt Wang took a deep breath, "The noble concubine is the head of the four concubines, as long as Jing Zhaoyi is named a noble concubine, then King Nanying will be honored not only by the eldest son of the emperor, but also by his son and mother. " "No wonder he is so arrogant..." I finally understood. "What should I do?" "Give the good girl a beautiful dress to King Nanying, and it will be very nice for the good girl to favor the little lady in the future." "But you don't know, there are more than 20 people in Nanying's concubine and concubine, not to mention concubines with no names and titles! Can Shanshan be happy with such a person?!" Aunt Wang didn't answer my question directly, she just said: "Even if you don't have a pet, King Nanying should remember the little lady's kindness." I am in conflict. Shanshan is just one of my maidservants, I will naturally have a new one after she leaves, is she worth my offending King Nanying for her? If she's just a maid, I definitely won't. But is Shanshan just my maid? She has served my mother and me, without any complaints or regrets. If she is gone, who will wipe away the cold sweat when I wake up from the nightmare?Who can speak to me as tenderly as she does, and soothe the wounds in my soul? I have lost my mother and my father, so I can no longer lose Shanshan. Thinking of this, I got up and went to the emperor's Qinzheng Hall. It was already very late at this time, I was trotting all the way there, I stumbled and lost one of my shoes, but I didn't notice it, I just wanted to see the emperor soon, begging him to take back the queen mother's order. Sure enough, there was candlelight in the Hall of Qinzheng, and my heart was pounding, feeling that this was my hope. Eunuch Zhu was very surprised to see that I came here alone at such a late hour. But he also knew how important I was in the emperor's heart, so he didn't dare to neglect me, and immediately went in to report. I was invited into the Palace of Qinzheng. The emperor was carefully reviewing the memorials on the case, and there was a pile of unread memorials beside him, which were as high as a hill. When the emperor saw me, he relaxed his frown a little, and asked me gently: "Nuxi, are you still looking for something at this late hour?" I desperately wanted to say it all, but in the end just choked up and couldn't speak. I was really terrified, afraid that he would not allow me, and afraid that Shanshan would leave me. Seeing my pitiful appearance, he put down the memorial, walked down, and asked me, "Why are you in such a mess?" I suppressed my feelings and explained the matter in detail as calmly as possible. The emperor gave an "um" when he heard it, but said, "It's just a palace lady." "But...but Shanshan is different..." The emperor frowned, "Gong'e is Gong'e. I can't agree to you, and there's no need to agree to you. Now that the queen mother has made an order, I can't refute her old man's wishes, otherwise, where will you put the dignity of the queen mother?" ?” "But……" "Okay." The emperor waved his hand, "After all, you are still young, and you don't understand some things. The queen mother's decree is also a good intention, and your maid can be regarded as flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix." "But she..." The emperor asked, "You mean she doesn't want to?" My heart tightened, this is a very serious problem.If I say "yes", then Shanshan has committed a serious crime of resisting the order and not obeying the order, and it will not be a question of whether to marry or not. "she is not……" "That's it, everyone is happy. I will see that she is your maid and let her marry with dignity." "But...", I knew that if I didn't say anything, there would be no chance, "But I don't want her to go!" The emperor smiled graciously, and coaxed me a little and said, "It's normal for children to miss their old friends, but it will pass after a while. I will give you a few more caring maids, do you think so?" I wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the emperor, he called a little eunuch and ordered: "Send Miss back." I was taken out by the servants. The servants made gestures asking me to go ahead, but I didn't move at all, I just knelt down in front of Qinzheng Hall with a plop. The servants were frightened for a moment, and some persuaded me to get up, saying that I would not be guilty; some rushed in and reported to the emperor. After a while, Eunuch Zhu came out, also with a look of panic on his face, and advised me: "Miss, why bother?" I just don't answer, the emperor should know why I can't afford to kneel. "Miss, your Majesty feels very uneasy when you are like this. Madam, Majesty has his own difficulties. The Empress Dowager is His Majesty's own mother, Majesty cannot be a disobedient son!" "Miss, you are disrespectful to the Holy Majesty like this!" Eunuch Zhu tried to persuade me for a long time, but seeing that I just bit my lip and didn't say a word, I had no choice but to go in and report. I only heard the sound of cups being smashed in the hall. After a while, Eunuch Zhu came out wearing wet clothes and said to me in a trembling voice: "Miss, you should save the slave's life! The Holy Majesty said that if the slave can't be persuaded When the lady goes back, she will take the slave to ask!" At this time, I coldly uttered a sentence: "If the emperor can make Nuxi perfect, I will protect you; if not, then Nuxi's life is not guaranteed, so how can I care about my father-in-law?!" Eunuch Zhu was obviously shocked by my words, he could only sigh as if he was appointed for a long time, but he stopped persuading me, and knelt down beside me. The night was getting deeper and deeper. The wind is blowing, piercing. I didn't know how many hours I knelt, but I felt that the foot that lost the shoe was extremely swollen and painful, but I still didn't move. From time to time, servants from the maid came out to watch. They all shook their heads when they saw me wearing thin clothes standing motionless like a sculpture in the cold wind, but there was a little admiration in their eyes. The lights in Qinzheng Hall went out. I know that the emperor means that he doesn't care about me anymore. But he hasn't promised me yet, I can't go. Eunuch Zhu, who was kneeling next to me, finally lost his strength and collapsed. Busy, a servant helped him up and went to announce the imperial doctor. So I was the only one kneeling facing the dark room. The servants in the maid also went to sleep. In this way, I knelt all night. In the early morning, when Gong'e got up and found that I was still kneeling there upright, I was taken aback for a moment. I am expressionless. Suddenly the door of Qinzheng Hall opened, and the emperor came out. His eyes were a little swollen and his skin was a little rough, obviously he didn't sleep well all night. I still kneel like that. He sighed, mixed with anger and pity. "Why are you so stubborn?" "The emperor please agree to Nuxi." I bowed deeply, then touched my head to the ground and didn't get up again. "If... maybe you say your mother, that this maid was entrusted to you by your mother, I will agree to you. Why don't you say it?" I still pressed my head down deeply, and replied: "The emperor has treated Nuxi and mother very graciously, and Nuxi does not want to blackmail the emperor with mother." The emperor was stunned for a moment, then sighed heavily, "Get up." So the emperor went to Shou'an Palace before the early court, begging the queen mother to take back her order. The queen mother was furious, but seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, she could only reluctantly withdraw the Yizhi, which made the mother and son very unhappy. The emperor also bestowed ten beautiful maidservants to King Nanying as a token of consolation. The matter can be said to be settled like this. But because of this, I offended the King of Nanying, and more seriously, the Queen Mother. Since then, the queen mother has disliked me more and more. "Good, bring me the white jade ring Daji gave me." "What's the use of the little lady with such a valuable thing?" "Give it away." The white jade ring was cocoon white without any blemish, but the narrow band was embossed with incomparably fine and varied patterns, which was invaluable. "Who would give such a precious thing?" Shanshan was a little puzzled. "Eunuch Zhu." He could only accept such a small and precious thing, because if it is too big, it will be too eye-catching, and if it is too light, it may not catch his eyes. I personally went to see Eunuch Zhu and gave him the white jade ring. He saw that the white jade ring really liked it very much, but he refused it in every possible way. He didn't put it in the inner placket carefully until we courted it three or four times. Eunuch Zhu said: "You don't get rewarded for your merits. If there is something wrong with Miss in the future, I will try my best. Even what happened yesterday, I admire Miss very much." I am relieved, you must know that it is very important to make good friends with the people around the emperor. That day the emperor told Eunuch Zhu about my recklessness that night, Eunuch Zhu observed my words and said: "I remember Mrs. Chu Yun had the same temperament when she was young, at that time..." So I told my mother a naughty thing. The emperor seemed to be caught in the memories too, he couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of the funny things, so he stopped being angry with me and loved me more. The plum blossoms fall one by one, and spring is here. The Twelve Princes and I sat under the willow tree by the lake and watched flocks of ducks playing. The twelve princes said: "The wind suddenly picked up and wrinkled a pool of spring water." I laughed: "Blowing a pool of spring water, what's the matter with Guan Qing?" The Twelfth Prince also smiled and pretended to bow to me, "Miss Wei Ruo is beautiful." So we looked at each other and smiled. I straightened my sideburns that were blown by the wind, and said boringly: "The wind is so strong, it makes people very troubled." "Nuxi, why don't we go fly a kite?" The Twelfth Prince suggested. "Kite?" I remember that my sister had a kite before, but I never played with it. "Is there any in the palace?" "It can be called Yuan Yaozha. The kites he makes are beautiful and fly high." So we called Yuan Yao. Yuan Yao is only one year older than the twelve princes, but he is already very stable and sensible. He doesn't talk much, but he looks very nice when he smiles occasionally. Yuan Yao carefully tied the kite for us, and we watched with great interest. After a while, Yuan Yao's kite was ready, and the skeleton was very regular and straight. He asked me: "What pattern do you want Miss?". I opened my eyes wide, "Yuan Yao, can you draw?" "Just understand a little bit." "Then can I have a beauty like Xi Shi?" I said to him with a smile. He stared blankly at first, and after a while, blushed and said sullenly, "I don't know how to draw beauties." "Can't draw?" I said to him jokingly, so I got up and turned around lightly, "Then draw me, am I not as beautiful as Xi Tzu?" His face became redder, and he was very embarrassed. I knew that I was joking too much, so I stuck out my tongue mischievously. "Then you draw me a butterfly." I said. Yuan Yao seemed to be pardoned, and took a colored pen to draw on the kite. After a while, a lifelike colorful butterfly appeared on the paper. I was very happy to see him and kept praising him. Then he drew an eagle for the twelve princes, which was also very mighty. I've never flown a kite, so my kites always fall before they fly. This makes me angry and frustrated. The twelve princes are familiar with the road, and after a while, an eagle with spread wings is released from the sky. Yuan Yao then personally instructed me: first run up and fly the kite high, and then let the line... Sure enough, my colorful butterflies are dancing in the sky in the palace. I was so excited that I jumped up and down, Yuan Yao also smiled. I looked at him gratefully, and said very casually: "Yuan Yao, you look pretty when you smile." Yansi replied: "It's not like your majesty' the small building blows through the jade and the cold."Yuan Zongyue.Here is the play of two children. But after all, I am still not skilled enough, just when I was enjoying myself, I saw my colorful butterfly scrape on a tall branch. I was inexperienced, so I just kept pulling hard, hoping to pull it off. Yuan Yao just wanted to stop me, but it was already too late. I just heard a "boom", my kite line was broken, and the colorful butterfly also fell down, and I don't know where it is going. I sighed regretfully. Seeing that I dropped the kite, the Twelfth Prince put away his own kite and comforted me and said, "It doesn't matter, you can let Yuan Yao make another one." But, for me, it was my first kite, it was different... Thinking of this, I pulled myself together, dusted off my clothes, and said firmly, "I want to get the kite back." The twelve princes said: "Okay, then I will accompany you." So the twelve princes and I searched for the direction where the kite fell. "It seems to be around here..." I searched carefully. "Look, Nu Xi, your colorful butterfly!" The twelve princes spotted it first. I followed the direction of the twelve princes, and I saw my colorful butterfly land on the fence in the courtyard. I couldn't wait to go to get back my colorful butterfly, but was held back by the twelve princes. "This seems to be some concubine's courtyard. If we enter rashly, we may offend her. Let's inform her first." I smiled indifferently: "Who dares to embarrass me?" So I didn't think about it any more and broke in. Just took off the kite, and happily wanted to go back, but heard a voice asking: "Who are you?" I looked back and saw a boy who was about the same age as the Twelfth Prince asked while holding the door. Instead of answering him, I asked instead, "Who are you?" He was obviously stopped by my question, and he was stunned for a while, and just about to speak, he coughed first. Instead, I was taken aback by him. He coughed very badly, as if he was about to cough up his heart and lungs, did he become so ill at such a young age? Someone in the back room heard his coughing and said, "Ninth Prince, your body is so weak that you can't go out to meet the wind..." A person who looked like a maid came out, and he was slightly surprised to see me and the twelve princes standing in the courtyard. "You are..." Gong'e judged from the luxurious clothes of me and the twelve princes that "you" should be used instead of "you". "What's the matter, Ping'er? Why haven't you invited Yu'er into the house?" Another gentle female voice came. "Your Majesty..." Gong'e saluted the woman who had just come out. "You are..." The woman looked at us carefully. My head turned quickly. If this little boy is the Ninth Prince, then this person called "Niang Niang" should be the Ninth Prince's biological mother, Yu Zhaorong. So I went forward and bowed slightly, and introduced: "My name is Nuxi, and he is the Twelfth Prince." The woman didn't know me, but she knew the Twelfth Prince. She looked at the Twelfth Prince and said, "Why is the Twelfth Prince free to come to me today? Is your mother and concubine okay?" The twelve princes also bowed, "Thank you for your concern. I accidentally dropped the kite in your yard just now, so I came in rashly. I hope your mother will forgive me." Yu Zhaorong smiled softly, "It's okay. The Twelve Princes haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are already so educated and reasonable. Your mother and concubine are very lucky." At this moment, the Ninth Prince coughed again, and Yu Zhaorong hurriedly walked to his side, beating his back and stroking his chest. Then he said to us with a little apology: "It's so windy outside, let's go inside and talk about it." I looked around and saw that the furnishings in the room were very simple, but it was very warm and felt like home. Yu Zhaorong personally brewed two cups of tea for us. I saw that her fingers were slender and fair, weak and boneless, very beautiful. I took a sip, and instinctively frowned, but then relaxed. This tea is ordinary Biluochun tea, the worst thing is that it is a bit stale. For me who drank the best fresh tea in Xiyanju, I was not used to drinking it at first; It makes up for the deficiency of the tea itself, leaving a touch of fragrance in the mouth. "This tea is a bit old, I'm sorry..." Yu Zhaorong said. I shook my head and explained, "It's really delicious." Just because that intention is much more intriguing than the tea itself. Then I saw the Ninth Prince lovingly playing with my butterfly, he must have never played a kite before. So I said: "Ninth Prince, do you like this? If you like Nuxi, I will give it to you." The Ninth Prince was overjoyed and nodded heavily. On the contrary, Yu Zhaorong was a little embarrassed, and humbly refused: "How good is this..." "It's okay, it's a thank you gift for me to make such delicious tea." I said generously. "Then thank you, Miss Nuxi." Her tone was sincere, without any falsehood. I smiled at her, and then remembered something, "Mother, why don't you let the Ninth Prince go to study with us?" After hearing my words, Yu Zhaorong had a sad look on his face, "He also went there before, but he passed out after less than an hour of persistence, so he was not allowed to go to the school since then... ..." I said "oh", it turned out that the Ninth Prince's body was so weak! Later we talked with Yu Zhaorong for a while. I found that Yu Zhaorong really loved the Ninth Prince, even when he scolded him, she never used a harsh tone; once the Ninth Prince coughed, she put down what she was doing and hurriedly beat his chest, extremely gentle. I thought, if my mother was still alive, she would treat me like this when I was sick. To be honest, I'm starting to envy the Ninth Prince a little bit. Until it was getting late, the Twelfth Prince and I had to say goodbye and leave. Yu Zhaorong personally sent us to the door, and said to us: "Come and play here when you have time, I rarely see Yu'er as happy as today." His tone was even a bit begging. The next day, I brought some picture albums, comic books and dolls to Yu Zhaorong's Wanhe Palace. When Yu Zhaorong saw me, he was both surprised and delighted. So, when I have nothing to do, I often go to Wanhe Palace to play with the Ninth Prince. That day, I told the Ninth Prince who was sitting on the bed a lot of fun things outside. Although he was still coughing and his face was pale, he was in a good mood. "Nuxi, is there really your Numei tree outside? I really want to see it." He said in a soft voice. "Okay. I'll take you there someday." His expression darkened, and he shook his head, "Maybe I can only stay in the house and on the bed for the rest of my life, and I can't get out." I deliberately annoyed him: "Who said that, when my plum tree blooms in winter, I will definitely take you there." "Really?" I nodded seriously, "Really." He smiled at me with pale lips, "Nuxi, I believe in you." I don't know much about medicine, but I always feel that staying indoors may not be a good thing, so I took the Ninth Prince for a walk in the yard when the weather was fine. Yu Zhaorong was worried at first, but when he found that the Ninth Prince's complexion was getting better and better, he stopped stopping us. I think that if a person's spirit is good, his body will be much better, and it turns out that this is indeed the case. But it rained all the time for a few days, and I was busy practicing dancing, so I didn't visit Wanhe Palace. Three days later, when I went to the Wanhe Palace again, Ping'er couldn't wait to invite me in, and whispered to me: "Miss, you haven't come these few days, the Ninth Prince is in a bad mood, and your empress is very worried." I smiled, although the Ninth Prince is three years older than me, he is still more like a child than me. I went into the back room and called "Ninth Prince", but he deliberately turned his back to me and refused to talk to me. I went over to hold his hand and asked, "Why are you angry with Nuxi?" He snorted, but still didn't speak. I burst out laughing and said: "Who would abandon idleness for a long time? Every spring, the melancholy is still the same. Every day, before flowers, I often get sick and drink, and I don't want to be beautiful and thin in the mirror. Willows on the green embankment by the river, for Ask Xinchou, what is there every year? The independent small building is full of wind, and the Pinglin Xinyue people return (1). Listen, you look a bit like the embarrassing woman in this poem!" He was annoyed at first, but after hearing what I said, he also laughed when he thought about his appearance. He said, "If you don't come these days, I'm bored myself." "I know, so—do you see what I brought you?" So I took out the chessboard hidden behind me and shook it in my hand. He asked curiously: "What is this?" "Go, haven't you ever played it?" He shook his head. "It's okay, I'll teach you." So I put the chessboard between us, picked up the pieces, and explained to him little by little. "Look... In this way, Baizi surrounds Heizi and eats Heizi... Ninth Prince, do you understand?" However, it was a long time before the Ninth Prince answered. I raised my head, but saw the Ninth Prince approaching me, and asked, "What makes you smell so good?" I sniffed myself carefully, but didn't smell anything, so I replied casually, "Maybe it's the smell of rain outside." I taught the Ninth Prince Go, but I didn't expect the Ninth Prince to be very talented in this area. When I wasn't here, he stayed in the house and studied Go. After a few months, he was considered a master. That day I was having lunch with the emperor in Vegetable Harmony Hall, and a servant came in to report: "Just now the empress of Qingqin Hall came to report, saying that the ten emperor concubine died early." The emperor was shocked, but he was not overly sad. He just said lightly: "I know. Ask the empress of Qingqin Hall to prepare for the funeral. If you need anything, you can ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The eunuch hesitated a little, "Your Majesty, can you go to Qingqin Hall to see?" The emperor waved his hand in a bit of boredom, "I'm very busy and can't get away." The eunuch understood what the emperor meant, and was about to step back, but was called back by the emperor. The emperor thought for a while and said: "Give more things to the empress of Qingqin Hall to comfort her in the pain of losing her son." "Yes." The servant bowed his head and led the way. The emperor has always treated me very well, but I also discovered that he can be cruel to others.I don't know if the emperor really doesn't understand or is just perfunctory, how can such grief be relieved by gold, silver and jewelry. 我虽然与庆芩殿的娘娘素不相识，此刻却有些同情她了。 最是无情帝王家。 太后最终还是容不下我，把我从袭菸居赶了出来。 她对皇上说她“年事已高，精力不济，不能同时照拂两个孩子”。 我想想也好，我也不喜欢太后，听说当初皇上本是要娶我娘的，结果太后捷足先登把我娘赐婚给了爹爹，否则我娘也不至于死的这样早。 于是皇上在他寝宫的附近辟了个小室给我，赐名叫小雅斋，并且对我说：“你娘死的早，朕的妃子们就是你的母亲，你可以任意去她们的寝殿过夜。” 虽说是小室，可是却五脏六腑俱全，它的奢华与袭菸居比起来更是犹过之而无不及。 因为与皇上住得近了，我对皇上的喜好厌恶更了解了一层，就是皇上最常去哪个妃子的宫殿，哪个妃子受宠也是明白得一清二楚。这也不可不谓“因祸得福”了。 然后少不得有妃子向我巴结，暗求我在皇上面前说她们几句好话。 我倒是不得罪她们，送给我的礼我都是通通收下，然而好话我到底说是没说就只有我自己知道了。 那天，我和十二皇子在玩秋千，却听见有人气势汹汹地喝到：“让开！” 我定眼一看，见到被一群宫娥包围着的和我大致一般高的女孩子正倨傲地看着我。 她身旁的宫娥见我毫无反应，提高了声音：“昭娇帝姬要玩秋千，让你下来你没听见吗？！” 我冷笑，好个狗仗人势的奴才！ 十二皇子听不下去了，要前去替我出气，我拦住了他。 我从秋千上下来，走到昭娇帝姬面前，十分标准地一拜，“昭娇帝姬请。” 昭娇帝姬傲慢地看着我，声音也是冷淡的：“你就是奴兮？” 我低眉顺眼，回答：“是。” 她哼了一声，“小狐狸精。” 我木木的没有说话。 昭娇帝姬的嘴角露出几分胜利的笑容，再次以高傲的姿态看着我。 “以后这架秋千就是我的了，知道吗？” 我恭敬地回答：“是。” 她显得十分满意，“知道就好，没有我的批准你不能到这儿来。嗯？” "yes." “好，你可以回去了。” 我拉着十二皇子走了，可是临走前我又向她一拜，面无表情地说：“昭娇帝姬火气太盛，可要小心别从秋千上摔下来了。” 路上十二皇子还是忿忿不平的样子，“奴兮，你为什么屈尊于她？！”
