childhood sweetheart love

The empress's wedding was originally a joyous event, but Xue Qi, who is the protagonist, couldn't be happier at all. At this time, Lin Sheng must have been gone for a long time.

The corners of Xue Qi's mouth curved up to make himself look happier, and then he slowly raised the bride's hijab.

Xue Qi looked at the bride with her head down. She was not very beautiful, but she was very delicate and dignified. She was worthy of being the daughter of Prime Minister Hua.

Feeling that the field of vision suddenly brightened, the bride raised her head and met Xue Qi's deep eyes.Hua Shaoyi felt that his whole body was sucked in by these eyes. These eyes were dark and heavy, as if he couldn't see the bottom.

"What is the queen looking at?" Xue Qi said lightly, with a hint of a smile in his tone.

As soon as Hua Shao realized it, he quickly got out of bed and went to fetch the wine he had prepared in advance.

Xue Qi understood what she meant, and after drinking a cup of wine with her, neither of them spoke.

"It's getting late, the concubine should rest after serving His Majesty."

Xue Qi nodded, letting Hua Shao manipulate him and have a spring night.

Looking at Hua Shaoyi who was sleeping beside him, Xue Qi sighed, then closed his eyes, this night he had a very long dream, in the dream he seemed to return to his childhood.

———————————————————————————————————

The sky is getting colder and cooler, the wind blows, and the layers of leaves on the ground are rolled up. The golden leaves dance with the wind, forming small whirlpools, and then lined up in a straight line. After a while, The wind died down.

A little boy came out of the dilapidated palace, holding a broom taller than himself in his hand. He swept and swept, swept the fallen leaves into a pile, and then set them on fire.This kind of open fire was not lit in the palace, but he was in a remote place, and unless the whole courtyard was lit, no one would take care of him.

"Your Highness, I'm back." A little eunuch who was about his age came over with a big food box in his hand.

The little boy sweeping the yard glanced at the little eunuch, put down the broom in his hand, and walked over.

The little boy called His Highness is Xue Qi. He is the ninth son of Emperor Jingran, the current sage, and he is also the child he dislikes the least. Well, Emperor Jing Ran may have even forgotten that he had such a son, so why would he like it or not.

Xue Qi opened the food box in the little eunuch's hand, glanced at it, and then quickly closed it, as if afraid that the food in the food box would be cold, but by this time the food was already cold.

Xue Qi sighed, "Zhuo Fugui, go and heat up these dishes, and then send them to Mother Chen."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhuo Fugui ran towards a dilapidated small house next to the big house with a heavy food box, leaving Xue Qi alone in the yard.

Seeing Zhuo Fugui running away, Xue Qi also returned to the house.

This is a small room, but compared with the small kitchen next to it, it is already considered large.Xue Qi walked gently to the only bed in the room, and gently called the old mother who was lying on the bed.

The old mother's name was Mother Chen, she was Xue Qi's mother's nanny, and when Xue Qi's mother was given to death, she left a life to take care of Xue Qi.

"Mom, wake up, it's time to eat." Xue Qi called softly.

Mother Chen slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xue Qi with her cloudy eyes.Seeing that Mother Chen was awake, Xue Qi quickly helped her up.

"Mom, take your time, Zhuo Fugui is going to heat up the meal."

Mother Chen nodded, and then asked, "Your Highness, how is your reading today?"

"I've read those books once, and now I'm starting to read them a second time, but there are some things I don't understand very well."

Mother Chen sighed, "It's really hard for you."

Xue Qi smiled and said nothing, but his eyes were gloomy.

This morning, Xiao Zhuozi went to the imperial hospital to invite the imperial physician again. He wanted the imperial physician to come and see Mrs. Chen's illness, but no one in their place wanted to come. The imperial physician just asked about the symptoms, and prescribed medicine to cope with it.

Xue Qi and the others have moved to this yard for three years. Xue Qi is six years old this year, and was only a baby three years ago. Although I can't remember the things at that time, I still have some impressions of some important things. .

Xue Qi remembered that he didn't live here when he was young. At that time, he lived with his concubine mother and mother Chen in a big palace. The palace was cool in summer and warm in winter. There were flowers and plants in the yard. trees, and lots of people taking care of them.But one day everything changed.

That day, my mother was taken away, and never came back after leaving. Then news of my mother's death came, and Mother Chen hugged him and cried.It turned out that the maids and eunuchs who took care of him became more and more indifferent, and they always looked at him coldly. At that time, he met Zhuo Fugui who had been taught by the chief eunuch.Maybe it was not long after his mother left, and Yu Wei was still holding on, the eunuch didn't make things difficult for him, so he asked him to take Zhuo Fugui away.Later, they were kicked out of the original palace and moved to this small courtyard, and only Mother Chen and Zhuo Fugui were left by his side.

After a while, Zhuo Fugui came back.Xue Qi took out a small table from under the bed, wiped it, and put it on the bed.

"Today's food is not bad, with meat!" Zhuo Fugui said excitedly.

After hearing this, Xue Qi's eyes also lit up. When he opened the food box just now, he didn't see any meat.Mother Chen on the side looked at Xue Qi's bright eyes and sighed in her heart.He usually behaves as an adult, but he is still a child after all.

"I didn't see the meat just now!" Xue Qi took the food box and asked the question in his heart.He took the vegetables out of the food box one by one, and there was indeed meat, but the minced meat was pitifully small.

"It's on the lower floor." Zhuo Fugui smiled innocently.

Xue Qi took off his shoes and climbed into the bed, and Zhuo Fugui also took off his shoes and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Mom eats meat." Xue Qi pushed the plate with minced meat in the direction of Chen's mother.

Mother Chen looked at Xue Qi's lean body and bright eyes, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

After the meal, Xiao Zhuozi wanted to send the food box back to the dining room, so he left.

Mother Chen looked at Xue Qi who was sitting by the bed sewing, and felt inexplicably sad. As a child, as a prince, how could she do such a thing?

"Your Highness, don't do this kind of work anymore, just wait until the old slave recovers from his illness." Mother Chen said.

Xue Qi didn't take it seriously, "It's okay mom, just take good care of me, I can do all these things." He smiled and said, "I can sew these purses right away, and Eunuch Li will go out of the palace in a few days , just to allow him to exchange some money for less, and then buy some raw materials to come in.”

Eunuch Li is an eunuch in charge of purchasing. Every time he goes out of the palace, he sells some small things for some unfavored palace people and exchanges some silver. Everyone knows this well, but they still ask him for help.

"You don't need to do these things." Mother Chen patted Xue Qi's head distressedly.Think Xue Qi was such a cute little doll when he was a child, carved in powder and jade, let's look at it now?Sallow and thin, obviously already six years old, but his body is still so small.

"Mom, stop talking about this." Xue Qi said soothingly, but his eyes were darkened.

It is said that children from poor families are in charge of the family early, but why not the neglected prince?Mother Chen sighed again in her heart.

"Your Highness, let's go to the empress." Mother Chen thought about this sentence for a long time, and finally said it.

"The Queen Mother?"

"Yes, the empress lost her son in the early years. After so many years, there is no news. I am afraid that there will be no more in the future. In this palace, having a son is the guarantee, and the empress is no exception. There is only one empress every year. Princess, you got married at the beginning of the year, so if you go to the Empress at this time, there is still hope that you will be kept."

Xue Qi knew that the empress was the most powerful woman in the harem, if he could be raised by the empress, he would no longer have to live such a hard life here.

"But will the empress leave me?" Xue Qi asked the question in his heart.

"The empress needs a son, and you are just right."

"If the Empress needs a son, why didn't she adopt me a few years ago?" Xue Qi was puzzled.

Mother Chen smiled, and patted Xue Qi's head affectionately, "Silly boy, the emperor was so angry at that time, even the empress didn't dare to touch his bad luck, but it's different now. Over the past few years, the emperor's The anger has long since dissipated, and if she can stand up and raise you at this time, not only will she have a son, but she will also have support, and she will also show her love."

"But how can I meet the empress? Go directly to her, she may not agree." You know, if you go directly to her, the purpose is too strong.

Mother Chen shook her head, "The empress has a habit. She likes to go for a walk in the imperial garden when the weather is bad." The empress's hobby was found out by Xue Qi's mother concubine Chen Guifei when she was the most powerful in the palace. "Whether it's raining or snowing, she will always choose a time to go. However, everything is uncertain. Whether you can let her stay with you after you see her depends on His Highness's own decision." Yes. Your Highness has already reached the age of enrollment, but staying in this kind of place, even if you learn by yourself, you will not be able to do it without a teacher after all."

Xue Qi didn't answer the words, and continued with the work in hand, but he kept thinking about it in his heart.

———————————————————————————————————

Ever since he made up his mind, Xue Qi always rushed to guard the imperial garden on rainy days, but I don't know if it was his bad luck, or the empress had changed her habit of taking walks in rainy days, so he did not see the empress several times Empress.

One autumn rain and one cold, although Chen's mother was taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, she didn't even know if it was right or wrong. The disease did not improve, but got worse.

On this day, Xue Qi finally decided not to go to the Imperial Garden to guard it anymore, he wanted to go directly to the Taikun Palace to find the empress.
