imperial dream

"Yang Yun, the cousin of your aunt's family." Niangniang Di said, the emperor suddenly thought of that little girl, did not expect to see her in nine years, she has grown so big?It has also become so beautiful and moving.

The emperor couldn't help walking in front of her and said, "Yun'er, do you still remember me?"

"Remember, third brother, no, it's the emperor." Yang Yun replied to the emperor, but she found that the emperor was looking at her all the time, so she lowered her head. After all, it's not nine years ago, and you can no longer play with guessing.

Seeing her like this, the emperor couldn't help but think of when he was a child, he took her hand and said, "It's better not to call her the emperor, just like before."

Yang Yun pushed the emperor, hid aside and said, "I just listen to the third brother."

The emperor also understood, how can she still be the little cousin from nine years ago?I am already a high-ranking emperor, and even my biological parents have to kneel and worship, who else would dare to get close to me?He returned to his original position and sat down, sighed, and looked at the magnolia flowers in the night sky: It’s so cold at the heights, the former playmates are far away from him one by one, and the parents will not be able to meet in a fair manner. Facing familiar and unfamiliar faces in the palace every day, the former happiness has long since ceased to exist.

Niangniang Di naturally understood her son's suffering, so she came over and put her arms around him and said, "Son, since you're back, let's enjoy the family happiness!"

The emperor leaned in Di Niangniang's arms, nodded lightly, and did not say anything.

Seeing this scene, the Eighth Prince unconsciously wiped away his tears, walked over and said: "Look at you two, you hug each other when you see each other, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by Yun'er?"

The emperor stood up and said, "Father."

The Eighth Prince patted the Emperor on the shoulder and said, "Your body has indeed become much stronger. What have you been learning recently?"

"I don't have any talent for martial arts, I just practice riding a horse." The emperor replied to the Eighth Prince, but in fact he only practiced occasionally.

"Although my Great Song ruled the world with literature, as an emperor, I must cultivate both literature and martial arts. I have no talent but I don't want to work hard. You must be like the first emperor, Taizong and the first emperor."

"Yes."

"Okay, okay, it's rare for the child to go home, so don't use those things in the court to reason with the child at home." Di Niangniang couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the emperor with one hand and Yang Yun with the other and said, "Go, Let the three of us come to my room and have a good chat about family matters."

The Eighth Prince had no choice but to let them leave.

Seeing the expression of the Eighth Prince, Chen Lin came over and said, "My lord, why don't you let the emperor relax?"

"Oh, how could this king not know? Thanks to Eunuch Chen for the past nine years." The Eighth Prince sighed.

"The emperor has been working hard since he entered the palace. He has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, but his wings are not yet full-fledged. In a few years, the emperor will be in charge and everything will be fine." Chen Lin said.

"Your Majesty's homework needs to be supervised, whether it's literature or martial arts, don't let it go to waste!"

"The servants will obey the prince's will."

"Has the Empress Dowager sent someone to teach you about the art of manipulating people?"

"Yes, Master Wang Min Wang has always been teaching."

The Eighth Prince nodded and thought to himself: With Wang Min, I can feel relieved. He was an official in the late Emperor's time, and he was beneficial but not harmful to our Great Song Dynasty. It seems that Empress Liu still has some vision.

"My lord, the slaves have to go back to the palace first, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Queen Mother becomes suspicious."

The Eighth Prince sent Chen Lin away and went back to his study. He couldn't bear to disturb the emperor and his wife to reminisce about the old days.

Passing by the side hall, seeing Yang Yun walking back alone, the Eighth Prince walked over.

When Yang Yun saw the Eighth Prince coming over, he bowed and said, "Uncle."

"Why don't you accompany your aunt and the others?"

"The emperor thinks that he has a lot of personal things to say to his aunt, so Yun'er won't bother them."

"Why do you have to be so alien? The emperor is still your third brother when he was a child when he came to the mansion. How come he becomes awkward when he grows up?" The eighth prince also hoped that this niece could treat the mansion as her own home.

Yang Yun nodded and said, "Yun'er will not bother Third Brother and Auntie anymore."

"Uncle will take you back." The Eighth Prince deliberately got close to her.

Along the way, the Eighth Prince saw that his niece was preoccupied and asked, "Yun'er, what's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"

"No, I just feel that third brother has changed a lot."

"Do you think there has been any change in Zhen'er?" Since the emperor was named Zhao Zhen, all the elders in the palace no longer called the emperor by his baby name. Also call the emperor's name.

"Growing up, I don't like to play as much as before."

"How can there be no change in nine years in the palace?"

"But..." When Yang Yun thought of the emperor staring at the magnolia flowers in a daze in the yard, he couldn't help but think of his own life experience, and felt that the third brother seemed to have the same melancholy as himself.

"But what?" The Eighth Prince was stunned...

"In the imperial palace, there is prosperity and wealth, rich clothes and fine food, and there are so many people accompanying him, but why is the third brother not as happy as before?"

The Eighth Prince smiled wryly and said: "Hehe. Your third brother entered the palace for the first time at the age of seven, and was named the crown prince at the age of nine. After that, he rarely returned to the palace. In fact, he is very lonely."

Yang Yun nodded and thought to himself: Yes, it is much more pitiful than myself to be unable to live with my biological parents at such a young age.Are there no friends in the palace?She thought but didn't ask, she saw that the person who accompanied him this time was an old man, and she thought that there was no one of his age in the palace.

The Eighth Prince didn't ask any more questions, because her small courtyard was in front of her. After sending her niece to the door, she went back...

----------------

"The wind blows away,

A bouquet of magnolia flowers.

Despite the merciless wind and rain,

The fragrance is elegant to the end of the world.

Let the flowers fall and let him. "

In the early morning of the next day, a gust of wind blew down a bouquet of magnolias at the corner of the wall, but the bouquet of magnolias was blown out of the courtyard by the wind. Yang Yun happened to see it, couldn't help sighing, and filled out a random song "Recalling Jiangnan".Most people in the Song Dynasty could write lyrics, let alone such a lady from a great family?

It's a pity that this word was heard by the emperor who came out for a walk. He happened to see the bouquet of magnolias falling to the outside of the wall, fluttering on the wall and falling in front of him...

The emperor liked to walk along the corner of the palace since he was a child, this is an external expression of his quietness.But when he arrived in the palace, he became the focus of thousands of people's attention, and he would follow a group of people wherever he wanted to go, and since then he has lost the feeling he used to have.

The emperor bowed to pick up the magnolia that fell in front of his eyes, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart...

"Inside the red wall,

Yi Ren sighed at the flying flowers.

Who will solve the lonely orchid?

Willing to go to the end of the world with the wind and rain.

The Ming Dynasty also followed him. "

The emperor wrote a poem "Recalling Jiangnan" in rhyme last time.

Yang Yun naturally heard his words, and after a while, the emperor appeared at the door.Yang Yun bowed to him: "Third Brother."

The emperor woke up, looked at her and said: "Magnolia just fell in front of my eyes, imitating the arty style of literati." Then he walked up to her and put the magnolia flower in front of her.

"Thank you." Yang Yun took the flower and gently blew the dust off the petals.

"Yun'er, how about third brother taking you around the palace? It's like when I was a child."

"Third Brother Lao is here."

The emperor smiled and pulled Yang Yun out of the yard.
