Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

One farewell three years only a dream

……

A pair of orioles frolicked past the window, successfully attracting the attention of a little girl in the warm pavilion. She ran to the window with a pair of thick legs, and climbed up to the window in front of the window skillfully. On the stool, a small head was exposed at the window, with a circle of rice paste hanging around its mouth, showing a bright smile, its amber eyes looked at the direction where the oriole was going away, and stretched out a similarly stubby little arm: "Oriole bird!"

A beautiful figure appeared behind the girl, took the little girl back and put it on a chair, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you not to climb the window? Ganoderma lucidum and jelly are also real. This Nuan Pavilion is no different from an ordinary house. Why? Always forget to close the window?"

The little girl raised her head and smiled sweetly. That smile was pure and flawless, revealing childlike innocence and dependence. No matter how much anger there was, it would dissipate. Her calves were hanging in the air, swinging.

Seeing this, the woman also showed some love in her eyes. She squatted in front of the girl and took out a silk handkerchief from her wide sleeve to wipe the girl's mouth. She said, "Greedy again? Didn't you have enough for lunch?"

A trace of cunning flashed across the eyes of the little girl, showing a bit of naughtiness and a sharpness higher than that of children of the same age, and she called out softly: "Second aunt~"

Nangong Shunv's heart was melted by this soft call. She put away the silk handkerchief and hugged the little girl in her arms. She rubbed her baby's fat cheek with the tip of her nose, and said softly, "How many times has my aunt told you, Not allowed to climb the window?"

This little girl is Princess Yanyang, the nominal eldest daughter of Qi Yan and Nangong Jingnv: Qi Yuxiao.

Time flies by like a white horse, in the blink of an eye, Nangong Jingnv brought Xiao Yuxiao back to Weiming Palace for three years, and Xiao Yuxiao just celebrated her third birthday a while ago.

After being "reproduced" by her second aunt, Xiao Yuxiao didn't say anything to justify, but put her arms around Nangong Shunv's neck, rubbed her little head against Nangong Shunnv's neck, and said sullenly: "Two Aunt~ Yuxiao misses you so much~."

When Nangong Shunv heard the words, all the remaining words were reduced to a sigh.

This little guy is used to acting like a baby, even though she knew it was her usual trick after making a mistake, Nangong Shunv still had nothing to do, she raised her hand to stroke Xiao Yuxiao's back, and said softly: "Didn't the second aunt come to see you?" gone?"

From an angle that Nangong Shunv couldn't see, Xiao Yuxiao's face burst into a triumphant smile, revealing a row of white millet teeth.

Qi Yuxiao: "Second Aunt~ I heard from Immortal Grass that the flowers in the Imperial Garden are all in bloom, Yuxiao wants to go..."

Nangong Shunv immediately took a step forward and walked out with Yuxiao in her arms: "Okay, Auntie will take you there right away."

……

The two went down to the attic, and the two palace servants, Ganoderma lucidum and Immortal Grass, stood guard at the door.

Nangong Shunv walked out with Yu Xiao in her arms: "I will take the princess to the Imperial Garden for a walk, you don't need to follow."

Xiao Yuxiao lay in Nangong Shunv's arms, with her chin resting on Nangong Shunv's shoulders, and stuck out her tongue at the two young maidservants, looking very proud.

Ganoderma lucidum and Xiancao watched the two highnesses leave, and looked at each other, showing a little helplessness in each other's eyes...

Who in the entire inner court doesn't know?His Highness Zhuo Hua loved Princess Yanyang very much, even to the point of doting, even if His Highness Yan Yang wanted the stars in the sky, His Highness Zhuo Hua would probably order someone to bring a ladder to try...

However, this is Weiming Palace after all, and their master is His Royal Highness Zhen Zhen.His Highness doesn't seem to care too much about the little princess, he once made an order not to let the little princess run around, the jelly grass and ganoderma are just following orders.

Fortunately, His Highness Zhuohua has a kind temper and never felt sorry for them, but His Highness Yan Yang is smarter than ordinary children. Although she dared not disobey Nangong Jingnv's will, she found that her second aunt seemed to be more "smart" than her mother. Although she is only three years old, this method of "coercing Zhuohua to order the palace maid" is like a fish in water.

Nangong Jingnv didn't care about Xiao Yuxiao, it could even be said that she didn't like her.

Ever since Xiao Yuxiao, who had just turned [-] days old, was brought back to Weiming Palace, the most remote Nuan Pavilion in the entire Weiming Palace was reserved for her to live in for three years.

In the past three years, Nangong Jingnv seldom visited Xiao Yuxiao unless necessary, but she never treated her harshly in terms of daily expenses. Everything was given according to the princess's specifications, but that's all.

Most of the "old men" in the Inner Court Department knew the reason for this incident. After all, Nangong Jingnv was the most honorable first-born princess, so many eyes were fixed on her. How could one not know about such a big event as having a child?

Although the Secretary of the Inner Court had already recorded the golden record and jade certificate for the princess, after all, he was not his own flesh and blood, and it was inevitable that he would be alienated.

But Xiao Yuxiao didn't know about this matter.

Not long after Xiao Yuxiao was taken back to the Weiming Palace, the Forty-Ninth Director issued a gag order to the entire inner court.I don't know what Nangong Jingnu was thinking. After Xiao Yuxiao was one year old, she replaced all the servants who served in the Nuan Pavilion. Now Qi Yuxiao is surrounded by newcomers who have been in the palace for less than three years. Maid Xiancao and Ganoderma lucidum are only 15 years old.

Naturally, they didn't know the inside story, they just felt that His Highness Zhen Zhen didn't care much about their daughter, but His Highness Zhuo Hua loved his little Highness very much.

Regarding this, Ganoderma lucidum and Grass Jelly were also somewhat curious and speculative, and finally concluded that it might be due to the emotional discord between the princess and the son-in-law.They have served His Royal Highness for more than two years, and have never seen the son-in-law once. Presumably His Highness Zhen Zhen and the son-in-law are just a marriage without affection?

Isn't it often said in dramas?The emperor's daughter can't escape the matchmaker's words, it's more of a marriage, and it's much more incompatible...

Nangong Shunv is really tired, Xiao Yuxiao has an energy that is different from ordinary people, every time the three-year-old milk doll takes her out, she will be exhausted, Nangong Shunv has no choice but to tell Xiao Yuxiao not to climb high, not to go into the water As he went, he found a stone bench and sat down.

At this time the sun was shining brightly, but Nangong Shunv didn't dare to sit in the gazebo, she would rather be under the scorching sun and keep Xiao Yuxiao within her sight.

This child is a special existence to Nangong Shunv.

Not long after Xiao Yuxiao was taken to the Weiming Palace, news came from Taiwei's Mansion, saying: Concubine Ji in Lu Zhongxing's mansion gave birth to a baby boy, His Majesty, please write it down to Nangongshu's knee and give a golden book and jade certificate .

Nangong Shunv was very distressed because of this. A boy baby is different from a daughter. If she remembered her, she would definitely leave the mother to keep the child. Nangong Shunv didn't want innocent people to die because of her, and she didn't want to accept everything about Lu Zhongxing. Confided to my little sister.

Later, Nangong Shunv found out that the baby boy born to Lu Zhongxing and concubine Ji was actually a few months older than the principal of Yanyang County. Only then choose to follow suit.

I don’t know how my younger sister told her father that this child was finally adopted to Lu Boyan, the eldest son of the Taiwei’s Mansion. Although it was a little unreasonable, the oral order made it clear: Princess Ruozhuohua was over forty years old and had no birth. , and then do other methods.

The Taiwei Mansion had no choice but to accept its fate, but another problem came up again. Lu Zhongxing, who had been living in a private house, fell in love with Nangong Shunv again.

He thought that only if Nangong Shunv gave birth to the first son, could he and other women's children be kept.

In order to avoid Lu Zhongxing, Nangong Shunv simply moved to Weiming Palace for a long time, but another problem came up...

Jiya has become a "frequent visitor" to Weiming Palace again. Ever since the scandal between Jiya and Nangongwang was broken, Nangong Shunv has made up her mind to break up with Jiya, but the other party is different from her in dignity, and she is not easy to drive away. , She accidentally hid in this secluded warm pavilion.

That was the first time she saw this child, her amber eyes were shining brightly, full of vitality, when she saw that she just showed a sweet smile and opened her small arms to hug her, at that moment Nangong Shunv was a little dazed , she thought of Xiaodie.

That girl seemed to be as pure as paper, and she had an inexplicable affection for herself.

Of course, Ji Ya didn't give up, and went directly to the Nuan Pavilion.Xiao Yuxiao is simply such a well-behaved child as her "lucky star", as long as Jiya gets close, she will cry endlessly, crying until her eyebrows turn red.

From then on, Nangong Shunv came to Nuan Pavilion almost every day, and before she knew it, she became the person the little girl relied on the most...

Nangong Shunv was distracted from the memories, and there was a loving arc on the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

She looked up at the sky and stood up.

Qi Yuxiao, who was squatting under the rockery watching the ants move, turned his head as if telepathically.

Nangong Shunv beckoned: "Yuxiao~, come back."

The little girl immediately put down the branch in her hand, and Sa Yazi ran towards Nangong Shunu. Seeing this scene, Nangong Shunu's heart became soft again, and she stepped forward to meet her: "Run slowly!" !"

Xiao Yuxiao stopped in front of Nangong Shunv, with a pretty face on her face and beads of sweat still hanging from the tip of her nose, she called out sweetly: "Second Aunt~"

Nangong Shunv took out a silk handkerchief to wipe Xiao Yuxiao's sweat and hugged her in her arms: "It's getting late, let's go back."

Qi Yuxiao: "Good~."

Nangong Shunv weighed the little guy, it seemed to be heavier than before.

……

Back in the Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Yuxiao's eyelids became heavy after taking a shower, Nangong Shunv saw her and hugged her to the bed.

Qi Yuxiao tugged Nangong Shunv's sleeve: "Second Aunt, don't go~."

Nangong Shunu coaxed softly: "Go to sleep, Second Aunt will accompany you."

Qi Yuxiao let out a "huh" and asked again: "When will mother come to see me?"

Nangong Shunv opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while.When she finally made up her speech and looked again, Xiao Yuxiao had already fallen asleep.

She gently pulled out her wide sleeves and walked towards the main hall...

Nangong Jingnv has been in her [-]th year. In the past three years, the fifth prince Nangong Da and the third prince Nangong Wang have been fighting in full swing in the court. Nangong Jingnv has been growing up in secret. But recently Nangong Jingnv found that she has hit a bottleneck. It's hard to go half a step further...

Three years ago, Nangong Rang taught her: "The art of the emperor lies in balance", and asked Nangong Jingnv to sit behind the scenes and watch the changes, secretly cultivating power.

The so-called "wait and see what happens" is to create a certain balance between Nangongda and Nangongwang, so that they can restrain each other.

"Secret cultivation of power" means that three years ago happened to be the year of the exam, if Nangong Jingnv could choose a confidant as the examiner for the exam, then a group of direct forces could be cultivated in the court.

What Nangong Rang meant was to take advantage of the vacancy in the imperial court due to the witchcraft chaos, let Qi Yan be the Minister of Rites, and let her be the chief examiner.

But Nangong Jingnv changed her mind at every moment of Guan Jian, and an imperial decree "assigned" Qi Yan to Jinzhou, where all industries were in decline, to serve as the prefect of a party. This caused quite a stir: it was the first time a son-in-law came out of Beijing to serve as an official.

Therefore, Nangong Jingnv also missed a good opportunity three years ago, which led to her passiveness along the way and even hit a bottleneck.

This year is another exam year...

The Jian Guo prince Nan Gongda, the third prince Nan Gongwang, and even the cynical sixth prince Nan Gonglie each recommended candidates for the chief examiner. Seeing that in two months, the exam will be opened, and even the exam questions have been sealed. The examiner has not yet been appointed...

Nangong Jingnv sat behind the desk, on which was a roll of bamboo slips.

She didn't sleep until the third watch last night, and got up at the fourth watch.She had to sit behind the bead curtain before Yinzheng four quarters drum beating.

At this time, her temples throbbed with tingling pain, but she stubbornly fixed her eyes on the bamboo slips and refused to rest.

In the past three years since Qi Yan left, her life has mostly been like this.
