The third prince was surprised and happy. Concubine Lin Xian had already heard the sound and came out. She was also overjoyed: "Please come in quickly."
It's freezing cold here, and there is almost no communication with the capital. They are blocked by mountains. Although I have only been away from Beijing for two or three years, it feels like half a lifetime has passed. Now, there is news from the capital. No matter who it comes from, it is a huge excitement.

Tuoba Rui came in and looked around the house first. The walls were made of birch bark soil inside and outside, and there was a large earthen kang in the middle. There was a strong smell of cow, sheep and horse dung. The only broken window was covered with a black
Looking at Concubine Lin Xian again, she used to be a charming woman, so noble and dignified. Now, with her hands in her sleeves and her waist slightly stooped, she seems to have turned into a little old woman.
