Among the cousins, Ah Luo was the youngest but the most articulate. She quickly became the center of attention among the children.
Born in the Tian family, all the children are very precocious and sensible.
They were also taught by their own mothers that their fathers were dead...the reasons were different for each of them, but in short, they were all children without fathers.
Now the seventh uncle is sitting on the dragon throne, and the one in charge of the sixth palace is the seventh aunt. A'luo is the apple of the seventh uncle's and the seventh aunt's eyes, and she is also the most noble Princess Duanrou in Daqi. When facing A'luo, how much do they have to give in?
point.
No matter what A Luo said, all the cousins nodded in agreement.
A'luo has grown up under the pampering of everyone since she was a child, and her friends around her also gave her a little more respect. She didn't realize the subtlety of it for a while. She only felt that her cousins were very kind and lovable.
Xie Mingxi took in all this and stared at A Luo calmly.
Ah Luo did not disappoint Xie Mingxi.
Ah Luo is a bit spoiled and overbearing, but she is not willful or arrogant. She is very close and affectionate to several of her cousins, and she does not rely on her noble status to be arrogant.
A five-year-old child is indeed still young, but he is not at an age where he knows nothing. A Luo's performance is considered excellent.
Xie Mingxi was secretly observing her daughter, Xiao Yuhan, Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao were also secretly watching A Luo. Seeing A Luo calling her cousin affectionately and not being arrogant when speaking, she felt comforted in her heart.
Chief Gu Shan was even more proud and complacent.
In the past few years, she has been by A Luo's side, taking care of and teaching her carefully. A Luo was indeed taught extremely well.
"A-Luo will officially start studying from tomorrow." Gu Shanchang asked with a smile: "You are all living in the palace now, would you like to study with A-Luo?"
Before the children could react, Yin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and nodded: "Of course I do. Brother Lin, brother Ting, you two come over quickly and salute the mountain chief together to say thank you."
Brother Lin is handsome, lively and lovable, while Brother Ting has thick eyebrows and big eyes and a strong body. The two of them joined their little hands together and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Shan."
As people get older, they like innocent and cute children more and more.
Gu Shanchang was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite."
Zhao Changqing took a step slower, feeling a little annoyed, and hurriedly urged Brother Ji and Sister Rong to salute and thank them. Sister Fu also saluted.
Chief Gu had already discussed this matter with Xie Mingxi. Xie Mingxi also nodded in agreement.
Ah Luo would feel a little lonely when she was studying alone. Since she wanted to find a companion to read with, she simply let Brother Lin and the others study together.
They are all descendants of the Sheng family, so there is no need to worry about the difference between men and women. After a few years, it is not too late to study separately.
At this moment, a palace maid came to report with a smile: "The Emperor and General Lian are here together."
In the banquet of welcoming the wind and washing away the dust, it is natural that Mr. Lian cannot be left out.
However, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for the Emperor to come too? This is Xiao Yuhan’s palace after all. As a widowed sister-in-law, it’s better to avoid any suspicion with her brother-in-law!
Xiao Yuhan muttered in his heart and glanced at Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly and took the initiative to hold Xiao Yuhan's hand: "If the emperor wants to come, the emperor's sister-in-law will bear with him and allow him to have his way."
That’s it! Xie Mingxi doesn’t mind it anymore, what else does she have to say?
Xiao Yuhan was not a rigid person, so he nodded slightly and went out with Xie Mingxi.
…
When everyone meets, there is a lively chat.
Lian Shuyuan is quite tall, with a tall and straight figure. Her eyes are shining, her spirit is high, and her natural and neat demeanor is heart-wrenching.
Sheng Hong was not wearing a dragon robe, but was wearing the black brocade robe of the past. He had long hair and a handsome face. There were many beauties present, but no one could surpass Sheng Hong's beauty.
Xiao Yuhan said with a smile: "Tonight's reception banquet is almost the same as the banquet for classmates in the past."
This is making fun of Sheng Hong.
Everyone laughed.
Sheng Hong also grinned: "Speaking of it, the three years I spent studying at Lianchi Academy were so wonderful that I will never forget them."
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled and teased: "Isn't that right? Others go to the academy to study, but you go to kidnap your wife. Of course it's wonderful."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Sheng Hong was not ashamed at all: "You can't say that. Back then, I had no choice but to dress up as a woman. I didn't mean to deceive my classmates, let alone Mingxi."
Gu Shanchang said in a cold voice: "I have to share a dormitory with Mingxi, I think so."
Sheng Hong: "..."
It would be kind to see through it but not tell it!
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Master, I am still not your most beloved disciple!
It was rare to see Sheng Hong deflated, and it was even rarer to see Xie Mingxi choked to silence. Everyone laughed heartily.
In such an atmosphere, the reception banquet was naturally lively.
Gu Shanchang drank a few glasses of fruit wine, and he got excited. He tapped the porcelain bowl rhythmically with his chopsticks, making a sweet tinkling sound. He also sang a song in his mouth. He sang "I only wish that when the song is paired with the wine,
"When the moonlight shines in the golden cup," Gu Shanchang remembered something, and his eyes suddenly flashed with water.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and they were all a little surprised.
Xie Mingxi sighed secretly in her heart.
Gu Shanchang is sad for the lost friendship!
They met when they were young and have known each other for decades. Gu Shanchang and Queen Mother Yu are both close friends and the most important people in each other's lives. It is easy to say that they are cut off, but the pain involved is indescribable.
…
In Fulin Palace.
Empress Dowager Yu, who had closed her eyes and was sleeping, suddenly felt her chest rise and fall, her breathing rising and falling, and she suddenly opened her eyes. If she hadn't been so weak, she would have sat up from the bed.
The person on duty tonight is Yu Qiao.
Yu Qiao was extremely sleepy and fell into a deep sleep, but did not wake up in time.
Queen Mother Yu waited for a while, but she didn't see Yu Qiao coming to wait on her. She was quite angry and said: "Yu Qiao!"
Yu Qiao suddenly woke up, turned over, and rushed to the bed: "Why did the Queen Mother wake up suddenly? Could it be that she was having a nightmare?"
Queen Mother Yu stared at Yu Qiao with cold eyes.
Empress Dowager Yu's power was still there, and Yu Qiao was stared at so hard that cold sweat broke out on her back. She knelt down beside the bed with a plop and said, "This slave deserves to die. Please forgive me, the Empress Dowager."
Queen Mother Yu glanced at Yu Qiao with disgust: "Step back and let Zhi Lan take care of you."
Yu Qiao responded in embarrassment.
After a while, Zhilan, who was silent and quiet, came in and wiped the sweat of Queen Mother Yu with a handkerchief.
Queen Mother Yu relaxed again and murmured in a low voice: "The Aijia just had a dream. I dreamed that when the Aijia were young, after secretly drinking fruit wine with Xianzhi, they hit the bowl with chopsticks and sang 'Only I wish that when the song is paired with the wine, the moonlight
Changzhao in the golden bottle'..."
How come such a beautiful time is gone forever?
Zhilan remained silent and tucked Queen Mother Yu into bed.
In this world, only sincerity can bring about sincerity.
It would be ridiculously greedy to ruin other people's sincerity and still dream of going back to the past.
