princess is fine

Xi Chao was a little dumbfounded. She looked into the boy's eyes and asked innocently, "Are you a young lady?"

The boy's face froze for a moment, and he just said vaguely: "It's getting late, you should go home. Don't worry your family."

Xi Chao nodded: "I just happened to be hungry too, Miss Sister, would you like to go home with me? My food is delicious."

That young man, no, it should be a young girl whose face darkened when the words "Miss Sister" were said, but he didn't know what to say to such an innocent child, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "My family is also coming I'm looking for you, go home quickly."

Xi Chao was a little disappointed, but she also knew that the young lady was going home. She looked up at the young girl, and saw that she was looking away, her frown was slightly relaxed, and her almond eyes were slightly upturned, which was very beautiful.

She pointed to the side of the guide and said, "Miss sister, my house is over there. Remember to come and play with me when you have time... I'm going back." She looked at the only fragrant cake left, took out a few candied fruit, and put The oiled paper bag was stuffed into the girl's arms: "This is for you, it's really delicious." Afraid of being rejected again, Xi Chao ran away in a hurry.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the girl's body, she stared blankly at the paper bag in her hand, until there was a sound of footsteps behind her, she turned around and put her hands behind her back.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for coming late." The guard dressed in black in front knelt on the ground on one knee, "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time in the Hande Palace after learning that you left the palace privately..."

That girl is the eldest daughter of the current Holy Majesty, Princess Changle, Xiao Rongjin, who was already titled at the age of twelve.

Xiao Rongjin didn't panic when she heard the guard's reply, she just waved her hand: "Go back with me."

Calm was restored at the stone steps.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xi Chao's small figure ran back again.Looking at the empty stone steps, he knocked on his head angrily: "No wonder my sister scolded you for being stupid, you even forgot to ask your name..." Xi Chao blinked and squatted on the ground a little discouraged.Suddenly a silvery-white light came into view, Xi Chao stretched out his hand and pulled it. It was a cloud-white broken jade bead earring...

After Xi Chao came home, he sneaked into his small room, washed the handkerchief and hung it on the bedside, and put the earring in his treasure box, then he went to find his father Mother begs for scolding.Xi Fengshu looked at her twice, and fined her not to go out for three days.Xi Chao was already used to such punishments, so he hurried to the dining table and started eating after listening to the training.The older brother Xi Mu at the side had nothing to do with her, but laughed and scolded her wolfishly, "I knew I would suffer this, let's see if you still dare to run around."

"She, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. No matter how many times you are hungry, you won't have a long memory." Xi Ye said firmly.

"That's true." The whole family laughed, only Xi Chao ate without hesitation and didn't talk to each other.

……

When Xiao Rongjin and the guard arrived on the official road, there was already a carriage parked beside the road.When she got into the carriage, she closed her eyes and meditated. She didn't get out of the carriage until she entered the imperial city through the side door to Changxin Palace.

Manager Nan had already been waiting at the door, and seeing that Princess Changle had returned, he ordered his little eunuch to report, and Xiao Rongjin was greeted here.

"Your Highness is back. The Holy Majesty can't wait. He has already gone to the front hall. I want you to change into your regular clothes and go have dinner with me." Manager Nan muttered with a smile: "The imperial concubine is here too."

Xiao Rongjin didn't stop, and walked straight through the palace gate to the Hande Hall: "I know, Director Nan is going to serve the emperor, and I will be there soon."

When he returned to his dormitory, he saw that all the servants had changed their faces, and a lot of things in the hall had been cleaned up, and he felt more and more depressed.It wasn't until a child about ten years old stood in front of her that his expression improved: "Xuan'er, come here."

Xiao Rongxuan walked up to her sister and looked up at her: "Sister, your father seems to be angry when you leave the palace today."

Xiao Rongjin tidied up his clothes and patted his shoulder lightly: "Xuan'er, don't be afraid. Father is for outsiders to see, he won't be angry with sister and Xuan'er." She stood up: "Go outside and wait for my sister, my sister will take you to dinner."

"Okay." Xiao Rongxuan nodded obediently, but before leaving the door, he said: "Sister's dress is really good-looking, and she is more energetic than the second emperor brother."

Xiao Rongjin laughed: "You, go outside and wait."

After changing into the princess's regular clothes, Xiao Rongjin realized that she had lost one of the earrings she was wearing today. It was a pity, but she still likes this pair of earrings very much.

The dinner party was quite peaceful, and Concubine Zhao Gui was also a pretty person. When Concubine Yun was still alive, she didn't care but she didn't bully her.Because she was the only concubine with children in the harem, the emperor wanted to make his sons and daughters friendly, so he asked them to live together. However, Concubine Zhao was of a higher rank and was in the main hall, while Concubine Yun was of a lower rank and was in the Hande Hall.

On the contrary, Xiao Rongcan, the son of Concubine Zhao, was unusually quiet tonight.

After dinner, Emperor Yonghe got up and drove back to the palace, Princess Changle accompanied him.

Emperor Yonghe walked slowly, and Xiao Rongjin followed unhurriedly behind.For a moment, no one opened their mouths to speak.Probably because she felt that such silence could not solve the problem, Xiao Rongjin said: "Jin'er went out for a walk today, and also figured out some things. It's just that I don't think it's thorough enough, and I hope my father can give me some pointers."

Emperor Yonghe nodded, he knew Xiao Rongjin was going to ask about Kunning Palace.

"Someone said to Jin'er today that you can't be a human if you don't obey your relatives. Children should obey the elder's wishes. But Jin'er wants to ask, what if the elder's wishes are unreasonable?" Xiao Rongjin followed the rules. He said politely, as if his words had no disobedience in them.

Emperor Yonghe sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Jin'er, you know that people can do something if they don't want to, and then they can do something."

There are tens of thousands of things that can be done in the world. Sometimes, you have to learn to give up in order to make a difference...

Only by giving up the secret of your biological mother's illness and death can you survive in this dark harem and hold back until you gain power.

Xiao Rongjin was silent.

She heard Emperor Yonghe give instructions to the people beside him: "Tomorrow, send Princess Changle to Kunning Palace." Then she turned her head and said to Xiao Rongjin: "Over there, just talk to him."

While speaking, he had arrived at Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Rongjin should be, so he bowed and retreated.

In September of the tenth year of Yonghe, Emperor Nianhou had no children, so he brought the third son Xiao Rongxuan and the eldest daughter Xiao Rongjin under his knees to enjoy the family relationship.In October, Concubine Zhou gave birth to a son named Xiao Rongyue.

……

That day, Xi Ye and his younger sister Xi Chaoda passed by the back wall of a big family's house, and Xiao Xi Chao stopped suddenly.

It was rare for Xi Ye to see the sluggish expression on the eccentric younger sister's face, and he thought it was quite interesting, so he poked her round face with his hand: "What's the matter? Could it be that someone's food hooked you? "

Xi Chao shook his head angrily: "No." She just remembered that young lady, that broken jade earring, and wondered if there was a chance to return it to her, alas... there was only one written on the handkerchief. Xi Chao was reluctant to throw away the word "velvet", so he wrapped the earrings with it and put it in his treasure chest.

Seeing that she seemed a little unhappy, Xi Ye stopped teasing her, took her little hand and said, "How old are you, and you've become sentimental. Let's go, my sister will take you to Liu's shop, plum blossom cakes, Can it solve your worries?"

"Yes! Yes!" Hey, how can the troubles in this world compare to the delicious snacks?Xi Chao was so happy that he couldn't remember the melancholy just now.

But after eating the snacks, Xi Chao still thought of a way. She thought that since the young lady lost her things, she would definitely go back to the place to look for them, so she ran to the stone steps when she had nothing to do, and spent half a day entertaining herself. hour.Probably because of the child's heart, I never thought about what would happen if that person had already been here?Or what about another time of day?

In short, more than a month has passed in this way, and Xi Chao has never seen that young lady again.On the contrary, the owner of the compound was a little surprised to find such a little girl wandering around the side door of his house every day.The owner of the compound is surnamed Sun, who is already sixty years old this year. He had time to hear the discussion of the servants that day, so he came to find out.

When talking to the little girl, Mr. Sun was neither humble nor condescending, seeing that although she looked childish, she spoke clearly and rationally, so it would be a good idea to tutor her.The old man couldn't help being happy, and wanted to invite her in as a guest, but he never thought that the little girl would refuse in a serious manner: "Grandpa, I'm waiting for a friend, if I go in, she won't be able to find me."

Elder Sun waved his sleeves: "It's okay, I'll order someone to watch here, and come in to report when your friend comes."

But Xi Chao refused, and just said: "If you are bored, grandpa, I would be happy to play with you outside." She had no agreement with that young lady. Notification, Miss Sister will not wait for her.

Elder Sun was speechless for a while, but he was rejected so straightforwardly again in so many years, but his childish temperament made him find it quite interesting, so he ordered someone to fetch a deck chair, chess board, tea and snacks, etc. The little friend communicated.

Xi Chao felt bored at first, seeing this old man with kind eyes and kind eyes, accompanied by tea and snacks, he happily chatted with him.

After coming and going, the cold winter is approaching, Xi Chao almost forgot the appearance of that young lady, but because of this, he gained a good friend. "Good friend" is what Xi Chao called Sun Lao.One day, when I went to incense with my mother, I happened to meet Elder Sun. Xi Chao's introduction made the two elders laugh.

Mrs. Xi naturally knew that her daughter had an extra year-end friend, but this was the first time she met her today. She bowed to the old man and invited him to the house as a guest, but he waved her hand and refused: "I just like Chao'er's temperament, and I don't want to have anything to do with officials. Madam Xi should be exempted from being implicated."

Mrs. Xi felt just now that the identity of this old man was probably extraordinary.

Until the winter solstice, Xi Chao had a high fever for some reason, which frightened the entire Xi family, and hurriedly invited several famous doctors in the city.Firstly, the illness came quickly and had a high fever; secondly, Xi Chao was still young, fearing that he would not be able to bear the power of the medicine, so no one dared to make a diagnosis and prescribe medicine rashly.Mrs. Xi felt pain and anxiety in her heart, she was already in tears.

After half an hour, the situation still did not improve.A doctor gritted his teeth and prescribed the medicine. When he was about to use it, a boy came to report that there were guests outside the door, saying that it could cure the young lady's illness.

This guest, Xi Fengshu, also knows, is Mr. Zhang, the envoy of the imperial hospital today.

Although he and Mr. Zhang were officials in the same dynasty, they were just acquaintances.Besides, how could he, a mere household doctor, invite people from the Imperial Hospital, let alone this adult who came here uninvited.

It was not until Xi Chao's condition stabilized that Xi Fengshu had time to ask this doubt.

Mr. Zhang washed his hands in hot water and wiped them with a towel before he laughed and said: "Brother Yu is just entrusted by others."

It was Mr. Sun who entrusted him.

Old Sun, whose original name was Sun Qing, had served as an official in the court for 20 years, but he was an official in the imperial hospital.Although the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital is also of the fifth rank like Xi Fengshu, he is the emperor's confidant after all, and Mr. Sun was exceptionally named a second rank official because he once ruled the current emperor.But he resigned from office for many years, and only people in the Tai Hospital still remember this history.

Doctor Zhang is his personal disciple, so he listened to his teacher's orders and naturally did not stop.

After this incident, the relationship between the two families became more friendly, but Xi Fengshu knew that Sun Lao didn't want to attract attention, so he just brought some small gifts to show his gratitude when Xi Chao went to visit.Old Sun saw that they were all food and supplements, so he also accepted them.

Xi Chao also narrowly escaped death, and became more and more respectful to Sun Lao. Because of his illness a year ago, he was ordered not to run around.After the next year, more than half of the time was spent at Sun's house.

Coincidentally, most of Xi Chao would not listen to Xi Fengshu's teachings.But with Old Sun's words, she could sit quietly for a while and listen to the old man tell some truthful stories.

Regarding this matter, Mr. Sun just patted Xi Chao's little head: "It seems that I have a destiny with this child." Xi Chao explained seriously: "My father always speaks with a bad face. How can there be a grandfather?" Such a happy smile, if someone else chooses, it will be the same as me!"

Xi Fengshu rubbed his old face, turned to his wife: "Is it really that unbearable?"

The author has something to say:

This chapter is to lay out the background... Mr. Sun is an important promoter of the following plot.Also, Mr. Xiwan asked about emotional abuse or not, it depends on your definition. If you say that it is vacillating, empathizing with another, hurting each other, it is considered abuse. I can’t write it... If two Personally, I've always been abusive, if I can't be together temporarily due to some external reasons, it may be a bit... (laughs), although it's a drama style, it's still very warm, isn't it?
