Ai Min of Fomalhaut's Self-written Book

?After going through this way, I feel much better, and I force myself to drink the medicine, which is also strange. When I was seriously ill, I felt that the medicine was too bitter to swallow, but now I feel that it is not so bitter after drinking it.

My body got better day by day, and gradually I started to take care of the flowers in the yard again.

My little brother still comes over happily to help me with the flowers from time to time, but he is really clumsy, so I instruct him to do some rough work.

The days fly by like running water, seeing the snow fall, the snow stops, the snow melts, and it is another spring.

Today is the Ching Ming Festival, Cong Zhan will not come here, it is rare that the little brother is free from business in the palace, so he came here excitedly.

Although it was clear and bright, the sky looked good and it didn't rain.

After moving the flowerpot to a corner to keep warm, I patted my little brother on the shoulder and said to him: "Hanshi is not hot. To thank you for helping me for so long, I invite you to Fanlou for dinner."

The little brother was in a good mood and said with a smile, "I have no money like last time."

I shrugged and said with a smile, "Now I am richer."

During Ching Ming Festival, there were not many pedestrians on the street, but Fan Lou was packed. Xiao Er finally picked us a slightly better booth, handed us the menu, and said, "What would you two guests have for dinner?"

I took a look at the recipes, such as the new method quail soup, Qunxian soup, two-cooked perilla fish, lotus duck in the oven... and then I glanced at my little brother, who looked down at the recipe seriously, as if very Seeming to have an appetite, he hurriedly whispered: "Hey! Don't order too expensive things, I can't afford the ones in the palace for you!"

The little brother smiled obediently: "I know."

Having said that, the dishes I ordered were not ambiguous at all. Duck, squid, mutton, etc., I ordered seven or eight dishes in a row.

The black line on my face is about to drip.

The second waited for the younger brother to finish ordering, then slowly apologized and said with a smile: "Guest officer, today's cold food, there are none of these."

The younger brother was stunned for a moment, I suppressed my smile and asked the younger brother: "Then what do you have in the store?"

"Lettuce lettuce, Xijing bamboo shoots, Lin Suxuan black plums, plums and cherries, as well as steamed pastry with various fillings yesterday, and various cold dishes." The waiter said.

It's all vegetarian, and the little brother's face turned green and white, and he lowered his voice and asked me: "Did you invite me today on purpose?"

I giggled, "I don't even know the customs, so blame me!"

So the little brother thought about it helplessly, and ordered a few more vegetarian dishes.

The waiter asked from the side: "Guest officer, do you want a drink?"

"No, just serve tea." I said leisurely.

"It's not suitable to drink cold tea today, you must drink wine." The man said beside him.

That's it, I looked at my little brother's clear eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, but less, children can't drink too much."

When the little brother heard this, he stared at me again with big eyes and small eyes.

After all, it is Fanlou, and the food is served very quickly. There are all kinds of cakes, one of which is star-shaped. The waiter saw that I was curious, so he explained: "This is a new method passed down by the current Queen Guo's family, called Han Zhi Mantian Xing Han Pulp cake, not the way it used to be."

Today's queen?

I smiled and looked at my little brother, and he blushed immediately and turned his head away.

Although the cake looked good, it didn't taste very good, like eating whole grains.

Just as he was frowning, he suddenly heard a commotion beside him.

The little brother happened to be next to the board wall, so he put his ear on it and said to me: "Someone is crazy about drinking."

I looked at him with a smile. I used to only know that women like to listen to the corners, but I didn’t expect the emperor to...

The little brother listened for a while, his face was a little dazed, and he put down his drink.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

The little brother said casually: "It's nothing, Concubine Li Chen who guarded the tomb has passed away."

Concubine Li Chen, sounds familiar.

I looked at his insignificant appearance, suddenly remembered, hesitated for a moment, and asked him: "Li... Concubine Chen?"

"Yes. You also know?" The little brother looked at me suspiciously.

"...No", I whispered.

It seems that the little brother doesn't know that Concubine Li Chen is her biological mother. The current queen mother is really a good planner, she has been able to hide it from the little brother for so long. Poor little brother's mother, even her own son didn't recognize her until she died. .

"What's the matter?" The little brother may have noticed my strangeness, "Concubine Li Chen and I, what will the people in your place know? She was not a big deal before she was alive, and now she is dead, so it is impossible What happened again? Why do I not know that I am poor? "

I don't know what the little brother heard from the next door, there was a faint fire in his eyes, I was stunned for a moment, I didn't know whether I should tell him or not.

Seeing that I didn't speak, my little brother asked anxiously: "Is it the secret of my father's dynasty earlier? The matter of the women in the harem is at most a matter of fighting for favor for herself. Isn't her only daughter already dead?"

It turned out that the little brother only knew that her mother had a dead daughter......

"Does she still have children?" The little brother asked without waiting for me to speak.

Maybe I shouldn't tell him, but my little brother is really pitiful, so pitiful that even his own mother died... The corners of my eyes couldn't feel wet, I stood up, reached out to stroke his hair, and said: "Yes , she has a good child."

The little brother thought for a moment, "You haven't grown up, have you?"

"Grow up." I couldn't bear to look at him anymore, and turned my face to the bustling crowd below. No one can tell clearly about the things in this world.

"That child... is..." The little brother sensed something, his voice was like a trembling leaf in the autumn wind.

"If you go now, you may still see her remains... She is your mother."

The little brother was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears, even though he was crying bitterly, he suppressed it into a slight whimper, scattered in the wind of Fanlou.

He was going to see her for the last time, even if he was carrying the lofty empress dowager, the civil and military ministers of the court, and the entire country that belonged to him, he would still go to see her.

There are very few children in the palace who can grow up safely. He has grown up to such an age in silence, but he has received very little love from his relatives. I can't help him with anything, I can only go with him.
