Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Winter is snowy, and wintersweet blooms more and more colorfully in the snow.

The old lady of Zhenbei Hou's Mansion loves flowers and plants only, and there is also a red plum plant in the courtyard, standing by the window, painting white snow and red plums on the rice paper, which is very pleasant.

"grandmother."

The old lady was startled unexpectedly, her hands shook, and a drop of red ink smudged on the paper, ruining a scroll.

Zhu Dingbei took a look and scratched his head: "Grandson shouldn't have scared you."

The old lady looked at the drawing paper with regret, and smiled gently: "It's because grandma is too absorbed, so I don't blame you."

She put down the paintbrush and told the maid to close the window.Bringing Zhu Dingbei to the stove, the old lady touched his frozen red face, "Why are you here at this time? It's so cold, carefully freeze my precious grandson."

Zhu Dingbei said: "Grandpa said you didn't sleep well last night, I'll come and have a look."

"It's not a problem, but the snow fell sharply last night and woke me up." The old lady smiled, her brows crooked, "You little cunning, your grandpa slept better than anyone else last night, you must have heard what the housekeeper said. "

Zhu Dingbei heyed, and the old lady gave him a sharp look, "Since you're here, grandma made you a cloak, just for you to try."

After all, he didn't send anyone else, he happily took the robe from the back compartment, and tied it for him himself.

Looking at Zhu Dingbei up and down, her eyes were full of pride, she turned to the old woman and said, "Look at our Changsheng, no matter what we wear, we look good."

"That's right." Su's mother helped smooth the cloak, her eyes were filled with admiration: the young master grew up outside the Great Wall, but he looks exactly like the old lady.Man Luojing's sons and brothers counted over, which one has the demeanor of the young master.

The cloak is made of high-quality wolf fur, which is excellent for keeping warm, and the stitches are carefully stitched everywhere.Zhu Dingbei couldn't put it down. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled and said, "Grandmother, grandson doesn't dare to take credit for this." He raised his cloak and pointed to himself, "it's all thanks to you, grandma."

There was laughter in the room.

The maid raised the curtain, and Miss Zhu Wu came in with a cup of rock sugar pears, and smiled as she walked, "Sure enough, brother, I said, who in the house can make grandma so happy."

"You girl, the wedding gown is still embroidered so-so, and you can't stay." The old lady laughed and scolded, and pulled Zhu Dingbei to let his elder sister see the cloak and was praised again, and then carefully put away the cloak.

Zhu Huarong handed over rock sugar pears, "I heard from the housekeeper that grandma is not sleeping well at night, and my grandson made soup for you, which will make your throat feel better." As he spoke, he said worriedly: "Grandma's throat is sore at this time of the year. It’s comfortable, you should see a doctor.”

After the Chinese New Year, she was about to get married, and she might not even be able to serve a simple bowl of pear soup in person.

Zhu Dingbei was startled: "Grandma is always like this?"

"It's not a big problem, it's just that the older the voice, the more refined it is, and it can't even bear the smoke of silver charcoal." The old lady was ashamed, and said indifferently: "It will be fine when the weather gets warmer, there is no need to call a doctor."

Zhu Dingbei wrote it down secretly.

The grandparents and grandchildren talked for a while, and Zhu Dingbei didn't leave until Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin, who were in charge of the New Year's shopping, came to report.

After everyone had dispersed, the old lady remembered the useless drawing paper and told Mama Su to put it away.The latter glanced at it and said in surprise, "Ma'am, look at this..."

The old lady looked forward, and the smudged red ink in the middle was drawn by someone, and the beautiful red plum blossoms were blooming on the paper, and the simple strokes were vigorous and powerful.Both of them were startled, this ink stain has been done for a long time, only one person in the whole room can do it.

Mother Su supported her, and said softly: "Madam, you can rest assured, the young master is smarter than anyone else."

The old lady stared at the rice paper for a long time, her face was calm, she didn't know what she was thinking.It took a long time to show a smile, and said: "Frame it, and hang it in my room."

"Hey, the old slave will do it now."

Mother Su's brows were beaming with joy, but she didn't notice her wife's frowning eyes.

The New Year's Eve is the most important festival for Dajing people, and every family and government gets busier as the New Year comes to an end.

On New Year's Eve, the emperor celebrated with his courtiers.Zhenbeihou's Mansion is also among them, and the old lady of Lord Hou and Zhu Dingbei, who was conferred as the grandson by the emperor, attended the banquet together.

Zhu Dingbei originally followed the old Marquis around, but before the old Marquis boasted to his grandson, a eunuch from the inner court sent a message that the Empress Dowager summoned the grandson of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Not daring to delay, Zhu Dingbei followed the eunuchs who were walking quickly to the gate of Cining Palace, and heard laughter and the sound of string music inside.

"The grandson of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion has arrived!"

The eunuch sang loudly, and soon an elderly mother came out and led Zhu Dingbei into the hall to meet him.

After seeing the ceremony, the queen mother on the golden seat quickly asked someone to help him up: "My good boy, hurry up and let Ai's family take a look. It's amazing, it's really pleasing to see this appearance." The queen mother looked at Zhu Dingbei kindly. After a while, he turned to the old lady sitting down and said, "Old sister, this child is not at all like a child from your family, but more like my grandson."

The old lady got up quickly, "You are so broken, Empress Dowager."

Seeing that she was frightened, the Queen Mother didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with what she just said, she still smiled and said to Zhu Dingbei: "This child is really close to the family, I don't even want you to go away It's over. Why don't you just stay in the Aijia Palace... Exactly, Lord Changxin and you are classmates and have a companion."

The queen on the side couldn't help laughing: "Mother, you are partial, you don't care so much about Ma Chao's child."

"Hey, that kid is a ghost, how can this kid be so well-behaved."

Zhu Dingbei was called to the front again by the queen, under the scrutiny of all the female family members, even the young marshal on the battlefield couldn't help but retreat: the gazes of these women are more terrifying than the wolves on the grassland.

Xian Concubine Zhu's voice said softly: "Mother, Empress, you can spare this child." She smiled, and she had a three-point similarity to Zhu Dingbei's gentle outline, "It's hard for a child to listen to what we women say. It's embarrassing for others, you might as well send him to be with a few children early, and let's continue talking about us."

Her words were casual, and the queen mother was not annoyed, she stroked Zhu Dingbei's stubble hair that didn't quite match her face, and said with a smile: "Look at your aunt's heart." So saying, let the personal nurse hand over the reward, After Zhu Dingbei thanked him, he asked the eunuch to take him to the side hall.

Zhu Dingbei's performance was dull and he was not skilled in etiquette.The female relatives present did not think it was strange. The half-grown child grew up in the cold and miserable place of northern Xinjiang, and was raised by the masters of the Zhu family. It would be surprising if he was a gentle child.It's just that this child is really good-looking, and the Madam Gaoming who is beside the old lady and behind her are full of praise.

Zhu Dingbei breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Naturally, he wasn't afraid of these people, it was just a little awkward, besides... He glanced back at the woman who was smiling while covering her lips, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.

Concubine Xian, his aunt.

In order to balance the aristocratic family, the emperor wins over the grandpa's victim, so far he has no children.

In the 37th year of Zhenyuan, after the emperor's imperial order to behead the general and the Zhu family's monstrous crimes came out, the most innocent person was this deep palace woman.

At that time, my father died in battle, my mother was martyred, and my brother died for no apparent reason... He was supposed to be her last relative in this world, but when he heard the news that her three-foot white silk had hanged herself in the cold palace, he couldn't tell the difference. Mourning and paying homage to her, let her go bleakly.

While thinking wildly, the side hall has arrived.

Zhu Dingbei walked into the hall, inspected and did not see Ning Heng.Looking at the past, except for the grandson Ma Chao of the Marquis of Yuanning, he didn't recognize any of these children who hadn't been weakly crowned.

Ma Chao saw him in a blink of an eye, but ignored his plan.Everyone could clearly see his attitude towards this newcomer, and the people who had intended to greet him also gave up this idea and continued to eat, drink and laugh.If it were an ordinary nine-year-old child, they might show timidity or cry when they first entered the austere palace and received such a cold reception, but at this time their indifference hit Zhu Dingbei's heart.

He simply found a place, ordered someone to bring some tea, and was just thinking about wasting time like this, when he saw Ning Heng walking in hastily.

Ning Heng glanced at Zhu Dingbei in the corner, and couldn't help but get angry. He looked coldly at the laughing crowd, and walked towards him quickly.

"Longevity!"

When Zhu Dingbei looked up, he saw his slightly joyful face, his ordinary face was affected by his emotions, and he naturally smiled.

"Aheng." He got up, and before he could speak, he saw Ning Heng looking at the simple and shabby refreshments on the small table with an unfriendly expression, and couldn't help complaining: "Where did you go, I was looking for you just now."

Ning Heng was apologetic, as if he had been greatly wronged, took his hand and didn't rush to answer, but ordered someone to call the servant.

"See you Lord Hou."

The eunuch in charge saluted respectfully, then knelt down, and was suddenly splashed with tea!

The bowls and dishes smashed on the body and fell to the ground, making a harsh sound, which made the eunuch tremble all over in fright, and made the chattering and laughing voices in the hall suddenly cut off.

"You are so courageous." Ning Hengsen looked at him coldly, "The descendants of the Zhenbeihou Mansion are only worthy of this kind of broken tea? Is this the rule of the Palace of Compassion?"

Ning Heng can be said to have grown up in the Palace of Compassionate Ning since he was a child, not to mention the eunuch in charge of the side hall, who in the Palace of Compassionate Ning has seen him lose his temper?Now that this attack happened, the eunuch in charge of the palace was terrified and kowtowed repeatedly to beg for forgiveness: "Master Hou, forgive me, my little Lord forgive me! This slave is negligent, and this slave deserves to die. I don't dare to be sloppy anymore. Please forgive this slave!" Come back."

Everyone in the Compassion Ning Palace knew that Marquis Changxin was a cold-faced and kind-hearted person, and he was always tolerant to his servants.The eunuch in charge of the palace thought he understood, but he didn't expect that the dragon will be hurt if touched by Nilin, he made a wrong calculation.

"Since you know your crime, how dare you beg for mercy?"

His voice was cold and solemn, the eunuch in charge kowtowed in panic, and cried: "I know my mistake, I know my mistake!"

Ning Heng didn't look at his trembling ugliness, and turned to look at the proud son of heaven in the palace.Even though he didn't say a word, the young people didn't dare to meet his gaze and turned their eyes away one after another. Even Ma Chao, who made everyone coldly reject Zhu Xiaohou, didn't dare to speak out at this time.

This is the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager's favorite is the last single seedling of the clan, who would dare to annoy him on this land.

"My Buddha, what's the matter?"

The side hall got the news as soon as the main hall opened. The queen mother was also surprised by Ning Heng's actions, and quickly sent her favorite nun in charge to deal with it.

The Empress Dowager knows best the children she has watched grow up.If he hadn't really touched his bottom line and done something extremely excessive, Ning Heng, who has always been indifferent to outsiders and foreign affairs, would definitely not speak out against him, let alone lose his temper.

Grandma Sun saw the mess on the ground, her heart sank, and she knelt down to salute when she heard the calm voice of Lord Changxin: "Aunt Sun, Ning Heng has overstepped. Please handle this matter fairly, and report to the Empress Dowager for me. Plead guilty, Ning Heng will retire first."

After all, no matter how everyone reacted, he directly pulled Zhu Dingbei and turned away.

Nanny Sun lowered her head, caught a glimpse of the hem of his robe, and didn't straighten up until she heard Ning Heng's footsteps going away.
