That night, I had a rare and peaceful sleep. In the long and peaceful dream, there were finally no sneering faces with ferocious expressions on those people, nor was there the coldness of the snowy and windy weather. Instead, there was a little warmth.

When I woke up the next morning, I found that the sun was shining brightly outside, and a ray of sunlight was falling from the dilapidated window lattice, shining on my body, bringing a warm feeling.

I didn't move. I blinked and looked at the dust flying in the beam of light. They were invisible in the sunlight, but as soon as they left the sunlight, they disappeared without a trace.

After watching quietly for a long time, I slowly stood up.

As soon as I got out of bed, I saw the figure of a nanny at the door who came to deliver food.

She usually doesn't come so early.

I didn't care when they came or what food they brought. I just turned my head and glanced outside the door. I saw the nanny carefully taking out a bowl of rice from the food box and covering it with a chicken drumstick.

, some green vegetables, she glanced at me, her eyes looked a little strange, and said: "Come and eat."

I frowned slightly.

Usually they either hit or scold me, and they never say hello to me, a "madman", when I put down my things. Why today——

I walked over slowly with some doubts. The nanny looked at me again, said nothing, turned around and left quickly. I stood at the door, a little dazed for a moment, looking down at the bowl on the ground.

If I wasn't so hungry that I couldn't stand it, I wouldn't eat the food they brought.

I slowly picked up the bowl. The food inside still didn't taste that good. It was just to satisfy my hunger. I smelled it, then carefully picked up the chicken leg and took a bite. The aroma and oil of the cooked meat suddenly filled the whole place.

In my mouth, the taste made me slightly exhausted. It’s really been too long since I’ve tasted it.

What surprised me even more was that there was no medicine in it, no aconite, no vine, and no nux vomica. This was a bowl of rice without poison!

What's going on? Why did they bring me a bowl of unmedicated food? Nangong Lizhu clearly told them before that it was impossible for them to go against Empress Li Fei's wishes.

Recalling the strange expression on the nanny’s face just now, could it be that someone asked her to deliver it?

Who is it?

My brows suddenly tightened, and I raised my head nervously. I was still the only one in this small courtyard. The courtyard door had been closed, and outside the small courtyard, there was a path that no one else passed by all year round. Here was

It's like an isolated island, becoming more and more isolated in the already deserted and lonely cold palace.

A gust of wind blew by, leaving only the rustling sound of fallen leaves being rolled into the corner, making the place even more lonely.

But I vaguely feel that this loneliness is about to end.

The days in the cold palace passed very quickly. Every morning, I watched the sun shining from the wooden fence move little by little. When it moved to the corner, the day passed. In the past two years, I have almost been

It doesn’t seem to be difficult to spend time like this.

However, these short five days were longer than the past two years.

However, the past few days have been better than usual. The best thing is that I can finally eat enough. However, I also remember what Mu Hua once said. If people who have been hungry for too long eat a lot, their stomachs will burst.

So even if there is no problem with the food, I don’t dare to eat too much, but my spirit is much better than before.

Even Xiao Nianshen can see it.

Early that morning, he sneaked into the cold palace, held up the wooden fence and called me in a low voice: "Grandma."

I walked to the door and saw that he was wearing a brand-new maroon jacket today, which made his face white and tender. If a jade doll is so cute, I smiled and said: "Why are you here so early today?"

"The Queen Mother said she would take me to the Yuhua Palace today to celebrate the birthday of the Imperial Concubine. I will come to see you first."

"Your Highness is really fooling around. What if the Queen discovers it?"

Having said this, he lowered his head in a somewhat lonely manner: "My mother doesn't know how to do that."

I understood as soon as I heard this: "Empress, did you lock yourself in the studio again and didn't come out?"

Xiao Nianshen nodded gently.

In fact, after listening to what Nian Shen said for so long, Chang Qing has done this not once or twice, and everyone around him is used to it, but after all, children are children at heart, and they still hope to get the most attention and warmth from their mothers, no matter how Chang Qing gets used to it.

Being indifferent will eventually make this child feel cold.

Thinking of this, I gently stretched out my hand to touch his soft hair and smiled gently at him.

Xiao Nianshen looked up at my smile, and seemed to be stunned. After a while, she murmured: "Grandma, your eyes are so beautiful when you smile, much better than usual."

I bent my eyes and looked at him: "Really?"

"Yes." He nodded seriously and vigorously, as if he suddenly discovered something, and said: "Really, grandma, your eyes are so beautiful, better than others I have seen."

"..."

"Except - except for the person in the mother-in-law's painting, grandma, your eyes are the most beautiful I have ever seen."

My heart moved slightly.

The person in Chang Qing’s painting has the most beautiful eyes?

Although Nian Shen was young and didn't know much, he was born in a palace full of flowers. There were so many beauties here, not to mention the alluring Concubine Li and the beautiful concubine.

A pair of beautiful autumn eyes is not moving, but he said that the eyes of the person in that painting are the best.

Then, who is in the painting painted by Chang Qing?

I was still thinking, and Xiao Nian took a deep look at the sky and said, "Oh, I've been out for a while, and they will come to me later. Grandma, I have to go back."

"Hmm."

I watched him turn around and run away. He suddenly remembered something, looked back at me and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely help you today."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

I sat at the door, looked at him through the wooden fence, smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

He smiled at me, turned around and ran away.

The next time is waiting.

There was a stove burning in the center of the room, but I was sitting at the door far away from the stove. The meager heat could not resist the increasingly cold temperature outside. The wind blew in sand, dust and fallen leaves, and soon my fingertips were wet.

It was blowing cold, but I still sat there stubbornly, looking at the hazy sky outside.

The sky in Chonghua Hall should not be like this.

The birthday of the majestic concubine must be a feast of gold and jewels.

I think of the several banquets I have experienced in the palace, all of which were like this, but the one that impressed me most was the night when Pei Yuanxiu married Nangong Lizhu.

I remember that at that time, the night was so deep, but there were many kinds of lanterns everywhere in the palace, making the night beautiful, and I was walking quietly on the most secluded path behind the cold palace.

I don’t know why, so many years have passed, but I suddenly remembered that night.

Over the past two years, I have seldom thought about the past, because the past was too unbearable, and because the feeling of regret will make my life more difficult. I don’t know why, but tonight I have to think about it - what if that

One night, I didn't go to Leng Palace to visit Ning Yan; if that night, I didn't meet the man who was drunk for Nangong Lizhu; if that night, I didn't risk everything because he was staggering and about to fall into the lake.

I grabbed him in the past...what will happen to me now?

Can I wait peacefully until the day I leave the palace, and live a small life with my meager savings? Maybe, after I leave the capital, I will really go south to Yangzhou, because it is far away from the capital and has a long way to go.

Not Shu; maybe, I will really stay in an inn because I have no time to find a place to stay; then, I will meet Liu Saner, who is so kind, and will definitely help me, who has no other friends; and then...

Then will he fall in love with me like this, and I, without those experiences, and will not shy away from his feelings because of my own filth, will also fall in love with him? Two people can have no scruples and just have a good relationship.

, get married...

When I think of this, I feel like my head is about to explode with pain.

"Well——"

I curled up desperately, hugging my head and curling up, but I couldn't resist the severe pain that almost exploded my body. I could only tell myself, don't think about it, don't think about it.

I'm in so much pain, I... I'm so sorry!

I don’t know how long I have been suffering in this kind of regret and pain. When the night became darker, I heard a faint pattering of footsteps outside.

The familiar footsteps made me wake up a little. When I looked up, I saw the door of the small courtyard being pushed open.

Xiao Nianshen carefully looked around and made sure that the nuns were not coming, then he grinned at me and said, "Grandma!"

"Your Highness."

He ran over quickly, his face was flushed, and his body was stained with the fragrance of a lot of makeup. Apparently, all the concubines in the palace were at tonight's banquet. He was smiling at first, but when he got closer, he took advantage of the moonlight.

As soon as Se saw my face clearly, he immediately said: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly, are you sick?"

I reluctantly shook my head: "No."

"Ah, your hands are so cold." He reached out and touched my fingers, looked at me again, and suddenly smiled: "Ha, I see, grandma, you are waiting for me, right?"

I looked at him with a smile and nodded.

But he looked a little proud. He was just a child originally, living amidst Chang Qing's indifference and Pei Yuanhao's neglect. Suddenly he was entrusted with an important task by an adult. This made him feel even more proud.

He clenched his fist and stretched it out in front of me, looking at me with wide eyes: "Grandma."

"..."

"I did it!"

"..."

"Look!"
