After being reborn, being alone as a queen

Peach blossoms are often planted in Fengyi Palace. Along the way, the peach blossoms are flying and fragrant.

After all, it is the Queen's residence. Compared with the Crown Prince's East Palace, which doesn't like many people to serve, there are several times more palace people serving here.

Garden pavilions, ponds and rockery, red lotus koi, a piece of richness and honor in the world.

Beautiful court ladies in palace gauze can be seen everywhere, their hair tied into a flying bun, and the tassels on their hairpins sway gently as they walk.

Seeing Mu Xiu, he brushed his body and saluted: "See His Royal Highness the Prince."

Mu Xiu didn't squint, and held his hands in the air: "Excuse me."

An old nanny came quickly, with an unconcealable look of joy on her face: "His Royal Highness! You are finally here. You haven't visited your empress since you recovered from your illness. Your empress misses you very much."

Mu Xiu said: "It's my fault, nanny, where's the queen mother?"

Seeing Mu Xiu walking all the way without coughing or panting, the old mama was so excited that tears flashed in her eyes, and said: "Go back to His Royal Highness, the empress is in the hall, the meals are all set, it's all your favorite food when you were young of."

Mu Xiu said politely, "Let's go."

The queen is an extremely beautiful woman, more beautiful than anyone Song Huai'an has seen in the market in the past ten years.

A pair of phoenix eyes are naturally charming, but they are quite majestic and majestic. The black silk is combed into a gorgeous bun, the hair is full of emeralds, and the eyebrows are stuck with golden flowers.

The fiery red phoenix robe is added to the body, and the skirt is so long that it drags the floor. When not smiling, the eyebrows and eyes are very ostentatious.

The moment she saw Mu Xiu, the emotion in her eyes was replaced by love.

Mu Xiu walked into the room, knelt on the ground and gave a big gift: "The baby is late, and the mother has been waiting for a long time."

Song Huaian and Sanyuan stood on the left and the other on the right, bowing slightly towards the queen.

The queen stood up and helped Mu Xiu herself, dragged him to the couch, and touched his face: "The emperor must be quite tired these days, and has lost weight."

Mu Xiu was very sensible, and comforted him: "The queen mother is worrying too much."

Only then did the queen look at the two accompanying readers. She had personally sent Sanyuan to the East Palace, so she naturally recognized it.

"Who is this boy?" She looked at Song Huai'an

Mu Xiudao: "When Haier went to Huaibei this time, all his relatives died in the drought. Only he was rescued by Haier. He is now Haier's new companion, named Huai'an."

When the queen heard the words, there was a look of love in her eyes, and she waved to Song Huaian: "Huai'an, come here."

Song Huaian glanced at Mu Xiu, and the kid was also looking at him with encouragement in his eyes.

Am I afraid?

Song Huaian's facial muscles twitched, and he took a few steps forward.

The queen took his hand: "Did you suffer a lot along the way? Natural disasters and man-made disasters are unpredictable even for the king. If you stay in the palace in the future, you don't need to be afraid."

Song Huaian's eyes moved slightly, and his heart moved slightly.

These two are really worthy of being mother and son, and they are so kind that people feel unreal.

Doesn't it all say in the scriptures that the struggle in the harem is not as shallow as the intrigues of the former officials?How did such a gentle woman take the position of queen?

But later he learned that being gentle with children doesn't mean being gentle with opponents.

The queen stood up and greeted the three children: "Okay, let's eat."

Sanyuan said: "Your Majesty, we are all slaves, this trip is unreasonable."

The empress smiled a little like Mu Xiu, and said gently, "It's okay, it's just a meal."

During the meal, the queen first put a piece of meat for Mu Xiu, and then put some meat for Song Huaian and Sanyuan in their bowls.

Song Huai'an was flattered and said, "Thank you, Madam."

The queen smiled, shook her head and said, "There is no need to be cautious in Huai'an. Since the emperor's son is studying with you, just treat this palace as your own home."

Song Huaian ate with his head bowed, but remained silent.

Sanyuan pretended to be cute, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, Huai'an is amazing, on the first day when he went to the study, he was so angry that he almost hit someone."

Song Huaian's eyelids twitched, Mu Xiu obviously didn't expect that his little companion would not open which pot to read and which pot to lift.

The queen raised an eyebrow: "Is that so? What's going on?"

While eating, Sanyuan secretly calculated in his heart

As the prince's companion, you should lead by example. Even if you are not as good as His Royal Highness in study, you must have a good attitude towards learning.

If not, he is not qualified to be the prince's companion at all.

As the empress is a mother, she will definitely not leave a hidden danger by the side of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Mu Xiuxiu was considering how to explain. Even though he was mature, he was still a child with too little mind.

Song Huaian raised his eyes, and said calmly: "If you go back to your mother, the slave doesn't like to read books of sages and sages. He is a scholar who is useless. The slave prefers to learn martial arts."

The dining scene was suddenly silent for a moment.

The queen's eyes fell on him, unable to figure out what she was thinking.

Just when Sanyuan thought it was going to happen

The queen suddenly smiled: "Forget it, you and Sanyuan, one Wen and one Wu, with you by my side, I feel relieved."

Sanyuan: "..."

Mu Xiu's hanging heart suddenly fell to the ground

Song Huai'an's eyes flicked around the blue, white and red face of the three yuan

After a meal, several people had different thoughts. Before leaving, the queen said: "Your Majesty, you and Huai'an go out first, and Sanyuan stays here. I have something to ask."

Mu Xiu took a look at Sanyuan, his eyes could not hide his worry, and said politely, "Retire, my child."

When the two arrived in the courtyard, the crescent moon was already hanging high and the stars were shining.

Soon, Sanyuan came out, but his eyes were a little red.

No one knows what the queen said to him, only himself.

The three returned to the East Palace, Mu Xiu led Song Huaian to his study

"Just copy it here."

Song Huaian looked at the large pile of rice paper on the desk, his eyebrows twitched and said: "Do you have to copy it?"

Mu Xiu said: "It must be copied."

"Taifu is strict and rigid. If you don't copy it, I'm afraid you will be stabbed to the father."

Sanyuan sneered and said: "If you have the ability to contradict the Tai Tuo, you should bear it alone, and don't implicate His Royal Highness."

This hostility can be said to be undisguised.

Song Huaian stood where he was, without even looking at him from the corner of his eye, and said nonchalantly, "How do you know that I will implicate His Highness?"

Sanyuan was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick: "Song Huai'an! You will bring danger to His Highness sooner or later! A man of the market is a man of the market! Wild and unruly..."

Seeing that more excessive words were about to come out of his mouth, Song Huaian's brows became tighter and tighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, and under the reflection of the fire, the black color in his eyes was so thick that it could not be melted away.

He felt that it didn't matter if he had to endure everything under the fence, but he couldn't bear the insinuation and sneer at his dead parents while others were scolding him.

All the way from Huaibei to the capital, the copper plates and broken silver he carried were quickly searched by bandits blocking the way.

Father's body was already weak, and soon he couldn't hold it anymore.

My mother didn't eat the last mouthful of dry food and water, and left it for the youngest herself.

To this day, he still dreams of the ashen-faced woman holding her last breath in his dream at midnight

A pair of phoenix eyes had lost their former brilliance, and his skinny hands were tightly wrapped around his, saying to him

"Mother only has one word for you..."

"good."

On Song Huai'an's muddy face, there was only light in those eyes that were very similar to a woman's. Tears rolled in the eye sockets, and he hoarsely said: "Mother..."

The woman forced a smile: "Mother left you this word to want you...to be kind to others, natural disasters and man-made disasters are our destiny, mother is going to find your father..."

Two scalding tears fell on the back of her hand, Song Huaian wet his eyelashes, the tears slid out two white lines on his face

He choked with sobs: "Mother... don't leave me alone..." His five fingers clenched tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to use all his strength to keep his mother behind

The woman felt the strength from his hands, and also felt his strong fear and helplessness. She wanted to hold the child in her arms as usual, but she no longer had the strength to get up

She could only tremblingly raise her other arm, and caressed the boy's soft temples: "Mother, I'm sorry... Huai'an... don't be afraid, one day, you will also meet other than parents in your life... the last Important person"

"mother--"

His throat without water for a long time made him unable to even roar

Tears welled up in my eyes until I couldn't cry a single tear anymore, and I was severely dehydrated.

He made a simple raft out of branches, put his mother's body on it and dragged him along.

Walking all the way, water and food had long since run out, just when he was dying of thirst.

As if God was joking with him, it rained cats and dogs that night.

He knelt on the official road and looked up at the sky, his eyes were scarlet, and in front of him was his mother's already stiff body.

The rainwater changed from lightly floating on the face to falling in big drops, and flowed into the mouth along the slightly parted lips, mixing with the mud and tears on the face.

No one could hear, and the heavy rain that night was accompanied by the hysterical cries of a ten-year-old child.

Heart-piercing, distraught.

The farther away from Huaibei, the denser the forest around the official road, unlike the area from Huaibei where unattended corpses can be seen everywhere, bandits block the road and rob without control.

Occasionally, pedestrians carrying packages or swords can be seen on the official road in this area.

But the mother's body couldn't hold it anymore, and it was already faintly rotten.

The people I met would avoid him and leave in a hurry before he approached, or they would speak harsh words to him, like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

The boy dragged the body into a nearby forest, found a clearing with lush vegetation, and began to dig a hole with his bare hands, his nails turned out, dripping with blood.

But he didn't notice it, digging a hole like a walking dead.

After the person was buried, he found another board and stuck it in front of the mound, knelt on the ground and smiled wryly, "Mother...you can only accompany me here?"

The blood stained the boards red and soon dried and turned brown.

His hands were hanging on his sides, and the small pieces of soil on both sides were also stained red, and the color of the soil turned into a strange color.

The sound of carriage wheels driving on the official road could be heard faintly in the distance, the breeze in the forest was blowing gently, and the leaves swayed in all directions, as if reminding him of something.

The young man looked at the sky covered by the branches, feeling the wind gently brushing the hair on his temples.

It's very similar to the feeling of his mother stroking his hair before she died.

Gentle and loving.

"Mom...is that you?"

The boy gently closed his eyes to feel any slight movement caused by the breeze.

Until the breeze blows away, everything stills and never moves again.
