mountain and river oath

Miao Xin returned to Chenxi Palace, Concubine Xian was sitting on the couch, holding candles.

"Niang Niang" Miao Xin said.

"How are things going?" Concubine Xian asked.

"I went to see it today. That child has a rare good looks, is smart and well-behaved, he is a good child, but" Miao Xin hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Concubine Xian asked

"That child has a deep relationship with Ruyi, I'm afraid I won't be familiar with it," Miao Xin said.

"I have a deep relationship with my mother. It seems that he is a child who attaches great importance to affection. As long as you treat him well, he will double the compensation, so you don't have to worry about raising him well," Xianfei said.

"It's just that as long as Ruyi is there, he won't get close to his empress. No matter how good his empress is to him, in his heart, he only has one mother, who is not his closest person. If the empress supports him in the future, if Ruyi can't control him well, he will Backlash against the empress, this has to be guarded against," Miao Xin said worriedly.

Concubine Xian was silent, looking at Miao Xin.

"Forget it," Concubine Xian said helplessly.

"Niangniang" said unwillingly, "Should we wait for Ruyi to die? Although Ruyi's body is weak, she can still last for two or three years. By then, the child will have grown up, and it will be difficult to raise the child when he grows up."

"Sometimes there must be something in fate, don't force it when there is no time in fate," Xianfei said.

"The emperor only values ​​your family background and has never doted on you. If you miss this child, you will be childless all your life. How will you live the rest of your life?" Miao Xin asked eagerly.

"Let's talk about the future later," Concubine Xian said.

"Empress" Miao Xin wanted to say something else, Concubine Xian waved her hands and said, "This matter ends here, don't talk about it anymore"

Miao Xin walked out unwillingly.

One month passed, two months passed, Miaozhu Miaoxin did not come to Leng Gong again, Ruyi was anxious to wait, she decided to go out to find Miaozhu.

"Miss Miaozhu" took advantage of the moonlight to knock on the door softly.

Miaozhu was sewing a robe for Concubine Xian, she came out with a yawn, saw Ruyi and asked, "It's so late, why are you here?"

"I'm looking for Miaoxin girl," Ruyi said.

"You go back first, I'll ask Sister Miao Xin to come and find you tomorrow" Miao Zhu said while looking at the dark surroundings.

"Miss Miaozhu, I can't wait any longer," Ruyi said.

Miaozhu looked at Ruyi, and said for a long time, "Okay, I'll call, you hide in my room." Miaozhu pulled Ruyi into the room, and hurried out to find Miaoxin.

"Ms. Miaoxin" Ruyi saw Miaoxin walking in under the moonlight, hurried over and said.

"Sister Ruyi," Miao Xin said when she saw Ruyi, and then she glanced at Miao Zhu, who walked out knowingly.

"Girl, does the empress not want my son?" Ruyi said.

Miao Xin shook her head.

"Why?" Ruyi asked.

Miao Xin sighed slightly and said, "Just act like this never happened."

"Girl" Ruyi said anxiously.

"Don't come to me again in the future. I can't bear the crime of having a private relationship with someone in the cold palace." Miao Xin turned and wanted to go out.

Ruyi knelt down, hugged Miaoxin's legs, and begged, "Please save my son, girl."

"The only one who can save him is you." Miao Xin looked at Ruyi with pity in her heart, pity for the hearts of parents all over the world, Ruyi was born in a humble background and delayed her son, but she still tried her best to find a way out for her young son.

Ruyi let go of her hands, and respectfully kowtowed to Miaoxin, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss, for your great kindness, Ruyi will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay you."

"I didn't say anything" Miao Xin turned and walked out.

"Mother, where did you go last night? I couldn't find you." The child stood beside Ruyi, aggrieved, and Ruyi had a calm face, sewing a small dress in her hand.

"Come here, let mother see if this dress fits you well." Ruyi looked at her son's body carefully.

"Mom, do I have new clothes?" The child smiled.

"Well, the new clothes my mother made for you." Ruyi laughed, and tears suddenly flowed from her eyes.

"Mom, why are you crying?" The child suddenly cried out in fear.

"Mother didn't cry, the sand was blown into her eyes and flowed out," Ruyi said with a smile.

"Mom, I'll blow it for you." The child lay in Ruyi's arms, blowing sand to Ruyi earnestly, and Ruyi hugged the child tightly.

"Okay, mother won't cry anymore" Ruyi said, tears flowed down like broken beads, she hugged the child's small body, lost herself and cried bitterly.

"Mother, mother," the child cried out in fear.

Ruyi carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of the child's eyes, swallowed the tears in her heart, and said with a smile, "You go outside to pick some wild vegetables and come back, there is nothing to eat at home, mother will come to you later, okay?"

"Mother..." The child looked at his mother anxiously.

"Go," Ruyi said.

"Mom, I don't want to go, I want to be with you," the child said.

"Go quickly, mother will come to find you later, go quickly" Ruyi pushed the child out.

"Son" Ruyi suddenly called out.

The child happily ran back, walked up to Ruyi, pulled up Ruyi's skirt, and said innocently, "Mother, don't I need to go?"

Ruyi shook her head.

child hangs head in disappointment

Ruyi took out a hairpin from her pocket, and a blooming camellia was carved on the hairpin,

"Take this" Ruyi handed the hairpin to the child.

"Mother" the child looked at his mother in confusion.

Ruyi looked at the child, this child with the blood of that person, when he grows up, does he look like that person, tall and majestic, but unfortunately she can't see it anymore,

"Your father gave it to mother, and mother will give this to you," Ruyi said.

"My father?"

"Yes, your father, he is the most powerful man in the world, and also the most ruthless man in the world," Ruyi said slowly.

"Oh" the child agreed, he had no image of his father, and he didn't care who his father was, as long as he was with his mother.

"When you have someone you love in the future, give this to her. For the rest of your life, you will only love her, and don't let her be sad." Ruyi smiled and said, her expression was in a daze, as if she had returned to those good times of deep affection.

The child looked at Ruyi with a confused face, not understanding what she said.

Ruyi understands that she has said too much, her son is too young to understand the love of children, but at this time, she is worried, she has too much worry, too much reluctance, she hopes to give him everything she has As long as his life in the future is safe and smooth, he will have no mother, no father, who will care about him, take care of him, love him, and look at the child with a sad heart. Her child is too reluctant, but she must give up. .

"Go" Ruyi looked at the child and said.

The child did not dare to resist his mother's order, and walked out reluctantly.

Ruyi watched her son go out, far away, she fetched a bucket of cold water from the well, cleaned herself up earnestly, took out the belt from her waist, and hung it on the hanging beam. , she lit a big fire in the hall, the fire was raging, black smoke filled the air, she stood on a high stool, looked at the place where her son was picking vegetables, and looked again, her son's small body was hidden in the luxuriant grass, She kicked down the stool, the belt fell heavily, Ruyi desperately opened her eyes, she wanted to take a last look at her son, to look at him, she was always worried about him, worried about him, just looking at him, she was relieved.

The boy walked alone on the familiar road. He followed his mother since he was a child. Many eunuchs and maids bullied his mother, denying them food, not giving them wood and charcoal to keep warm, and asking his mother to do needlework, but not giving them a cent. Wild vegetables, kicked over mother's vegetable basket, mother swallowed her anger, and did not speak when she was bullied, patiently waited for the maids and eunuchs to finish bullying, then dragged him to find a place where no one was around, and continued to dig wild vegetables, the weather was hot in summer, there were many mosquitoes in the cold palace, mother sat Beside him, I fanned the fan to repel mosquitoes and keep cool for him. In the cold winter, my mother could only look around for wood. She removed the wood from the beams and lit the fire to keep warm. Sometimes she stayed up all night, looking at the fire, and let him Sleep peacefully, although he is small, he understands that the boy was standing on the grass looking for wild vegetables, he turned to look at his mother, but suddenly saw thick smoke billowing from the place where they lived.

The "Mother" boy frantically ran towards the palace.

The fire was fierce, and the flames spread unscrupulously to the surrounding area. As long as he got a little closer, he would be forced to retreat by the fire.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" The maids and eunuchs ran out one after another, the boy grabbed one of the eunuchs and said, "My mother is inside, please save my mother"

The eunuch pushed the boy away and ran out.

The boy was helpless, he wanted to find someone to save his mother, he followed the eunuch's running direction, he grabbed a person, a child like a fairy child carved in powder and jade, dressed in snow-white brocade, his dark hands were on the smooth brocade of a child There was a black handprint on it.

"Rong Qing, let's go. I don't know where the wild boy came from. Leave him alone." A slightly older child pushed the boy away and pulled him up to leave.

"Save my mother, please help my mother," the boy said.

The "Five Brothers" child grabbed the boy's hand and said, "I think this child is pitiful, let's help him"

"I want to help you, my father told me I have something to do, so I'll go first." The boy pushed away the child's hand, and walked away.

"Five Brothers" children want to catch up.

The boy grabbed the child's hand and said, "Brother Immortal, help me, save my mother"

"What's wrong with your mother?" the child asked.

"It's on fire. My mother is trapped in the fire. Please save my mother." The boy said anxiously. Hole.

"Okay, I'll save your mother." The child hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"Li Yan, come with me to save his mother," the child told the guards around him.

"Little Master" Li Yan is not sure.

"You lead the way, I'll follow you," the child said.

The boy walked in front, the child followed behind, and Li Yan followed helplessly. He is an adult, and he understands that since the child came here, his mother has basically died, and there is no possibility of surviving, but he and these children I don't understand, I can only follow along.

The boy ran all the way back. The palace had been burnt to ruins. The fire gradually weakened. The imperial guards, eunuchs, and maids in the palace put out the fire with buckets. After a while, the fire disappeared. The boy stood on the ruins, looking for his mother everywhere. Seeing his mother, he stood on the ruins and called his mother loudly, but no familiar voice replied, "Mother, here", the boy's voice became hoarse and he couldn't make a sound. He was like a little beast struggling to die. , sadly looking for the figure of her mother, wandering on the ruins.

"Long Live the Emperor Long Live Long Live"

"The empress is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old"

The maid and eunuch knelt on the ground, and the boy stood on the ruins, looking blankly at the dark crowd, looking around, looking for his mother.

"Whose child is this?" the emperor looked at the scorched boy and asked.

"This is Leng Gong Ruyi's child," said the eunuch.

"Oh." The emperor looked at the child in silence.

"What about Ruyi?" the queen asked.

"Dead in the fire," the eunuch replied.

"My mother is not dead!" the boy rushed over and roared angrily.

The eunuch didn't know what to do, so he bowed his head and said nothing.

"Mother, mother," the boy called around.

"Your mother is dead," the child whispered on the side.

"My mother is not dead, my mother has gone out to pick wild vegetables, I'm going to find my mother" Jing'er said displeased.

"Your mother is dead, you admit it," the child said.

"I don't want to be with you anymore" the boy said sadly, he turned to look for his mother, but was stopped by the eunuch,

"Let me go, let me go" the boy struggled, but his strength was too weak and he was trapped by the sun.

"What's your name?" The emperor looked at Jing'er, and he could tell from his eyebrows that he was a child of the Zhao family.

The boy didn't speak, but looked at the emperor angrily.

The emperor sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty, I have an unfeeling request from you," Concubine Xian came over and said.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xian in surprise, and said, "What's the matter, what do you say?"

"I think this child is the child that Ruyi gave birth to the emperor in Lenggong back then. After all, he is also of royal blood. Now his mother is dead and no one is raising him. My concubine sees this child as pitiful, and also likes this child. What does the emperor think of being raised by his side?" Concubine Xian said slowly.

"My sister was born noble, how can I adopt this child?" the queen said.

"How can my sister say that? The child's biological mother was not born high, but he is the emperor's son. My sister is not blessed, and cannot give birth to a son and a half for the emperor. I only hope that when I am old, someone will serve by my side. Already," Concubine Xian said.

"You..." What else did the queen want to say.

The emperor said, "Concubine Xian is right, this child will be adopted by Concubine Xian from today on."

"I thank the emperor," Xianfei said.

The queen looked at Concubine Xian with hatred.

Concubine Xian ignored the queen, walked up to the boy, and said softly, "Tell me, what's your name?"

"I don't have a name," the boy said shyly.

"Poor child." Concubine Xian couldn't bear it, she turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, since he is a concubine's child, I hope the emperor will give him a name, okay?" Concubine Xian said.

The emperor looked at the child who was dressed in coarse linen, with a scorched face and no facial features, with a complicated expression on his face, and he said after a long time, "Call Zhao Jing, and take him to the clan mansion tomorrow."

"Yes, concubine thanking the emperor" Concubine Xian said happily, the corners of her eyes slightly swept across the ruins, and she secretly said, Ruyi, you sacrificed your life to pave the way for your son, now he has been recognized by the emperor, entered the royal genealogy, and became A member of the royal family, you can rest in peace, and I am sorry for you.

"Clean up here, let's go" the emperor ordered the eunuch, turned around and left, the queen looked at Concubine Xian bitterly, Concubine Xian watched the queen leave with a smile on her lips.

"Jing'er, come with me to find your mother, okay?" Concubine Xian said softly.

"Really?" Zhao Jing's eyes sparkled.

"Hmm," Concubine Xian said, she stretched out her hand, Zhao Jing took Concubine Xian's hand, and followed her, suddenly Zhao Jing remembered something, turned around and walked to the child and said, "I'm going to find my mother, what's your name?" , I will play with you in the future?"

"My name is Shu Zilan," said the child.

"I remember you" Zhao Jing said, he turned around and took Concubine Xian's hand and walked away.
