Chapter 4(2/3)
"I understand. Your mother's name is Xia Yuhe. Is this what she gave to you? Is she okay?"
Xiaoyanzi was stunned and shook her head quickly when she heard the next sentence.
"Not good?" Qianlong was anxious, "How is she? Where is she now?"
"She...she has passed away... she died in Jinan last June."
"Is she dead?" Qianlong felt ache in his heart, "I have guessed it, but I haven't heard you say it in person, but I still don't believe it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to see me until today. What a pity!" Then he looked at the infatuated little swallow with sadness, "You mother and daughter have suffered over the years!"
Xiaoyanzi was shocked and said hurriedly:
"Emperor...Emperor...I...I'm not..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed in a hurry. This cough made him so much that he couldn't breathe.
Qianlong shouted urgently:
"Wintersweet! Dongxue! Come and pour a glass of water!" He patted Xiaoyanzi's back desperately, "I asked too many things, you must be tired! Xiaoyanzi, you don't know how comforting and sad your appearance made me! From now on, your hard days have passed, you are my daughter left by the people. Now, you are home!"
Xiaoyanzi coughed even harder, and while coughing, she said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, I...I...I...Ahem!Ahem! You...Ahem..."
There was a commotion in front of the bed, and countless palace maids rushed to the bed, serving tea, serving water, and taking medicine. The wintersweet held high the medicine bowl and shouted respectfully:
"Girl, please take medicine!"
Concubine Ling shouted angrily and shouted very authoritatively:
"Palm! Haven't you figured it out yet? You should understand it, and you should understand it even! You are called Gege, what kind of girl!"
The wintersweet thudded, knelt down in front of the bed, held the tray with both hands, and shouted loudly:
"Please take medicine!"
Then there was a large group of palace maids shouting:
"The princess is thousands of years old! Let the servants serve the princess!"
The little swallow was dazzled and thrilling. In a daze, he actually saw Qianlong picking up the cup and then helping the little swallow up.
"Let me feed her drink! Poor... I was eighteen years old before I saw my father! I was seriously injured!"
Xiaoyanzi's shock was even more extraordinary! Emperor... The most authoritative person in the world actually feeds her water and medicine with her own hands, and she will die of happiness! Is this possible? She is just a small commoner, a little person who runs around the world and makes a living, often eats this meal without a meal! But now, a group of people kneeling in front of her, the emperor, the tall and pointed figure is feeding herself medicine with her "hands"! This kind of glory, like a tide, tightly surrounded and submerged her. She was confused, hypnotized, and had no strength to explain anything, because she was soft and was foggy, and there was no extra "mouth" to explain, because the only mouth was busy drinking water and taking medicine!
Finally, Xiaoyanzi took medicine and drank water.
Qianlong put the cup back on the tray and gently put the little swallow down.
"Child, don't look at me with such a strange look. I know I'm sorry for your mother. You have a lot of resentment in your heart. Don't worry, from now on, I will definitely compensate you twice!"
Concubine Ling smiled and cried, and stepped forward to give Qianlong a blessing.
"Your Majesty, congratulations! The father and daughter are reunited!"
Xiaoyanzi was stunned. Now she has a mouth, which can be explained, but she has no body in the clouds and has not gone to the ground!
Concubine Ling pushed the little swallow and shouted repeatedly:
"Silly girl, why are you still stunned there? Call me the emperor! You don't call me dad in the palace, you have to shout 'Emperor'! Call me! Call me!"
Xiaoyanzi was stunned and her eyes were wide open. No, no, I'm so sorry for Ziwei! No, no!
Qianlong felt sad when he saw Xiaoyanzi's eyes wider and wider, his eyes were full of contradictions and struggles.
"Why? Don't you want me?" he asked softly.
The little swallow couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out and shouted:
"Think! Think! I think too much, I'm afraid I can't afford it!"
Qianlong felt even more sad, and misunderstood that Xiaoyanzi had something in his words. The sentence "I can't afford it" represents a thousand words of grief. He sighed and said in a hoarse voice:
"What can you afford or not! Even if you don't want me, I will decide you as a daughter! Call me "Emperor"! This is "Emperor" and you are not allowed to call me!"
Concubine Ling urged anxiously:
"Why don't you 'receive the order' quickly! Be careful that the emperor is angry! Call the emperor! Call it! Call it..."
Xiaoyanzi looked at Qianlong's pampering and expecting eyes. Finally, she blurted out and shouted:
"Emperor...Ama!"
As soon as Xiaoyanzi shouted, she felt relaxed. Qianlong was immediately overjoyed.
"Okay! Great! Hahaha! My daughter in the folk is back! God is so jealous!"
At this time, many palace maids rushed forward and fell to Xiaoyanzi, shouting:
"The princess has a thousand years of life! Slaves will meet the princess!"
A group of eunuchs outside the door also bowed and rushed in, swayed their sleeves and knelt down, and their voices were louder:
"Congratulations to Princess, congratulations to Princess, Princess, Qiansheng, Qiansheng, Qiansheng, Qiansheng!"
This momentum and this cheer, the little swallow flew to the clouds again and was floating in ecstasy. Ziwei's face flashed in front of her eyes, and she shouted apologetically:
"Ziwei, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this, but... it's so good to be a princess! There is an emperor who is spoiled and loved by others! I can't stand this temptation. Can you let me pass the princess' addiction for a few days? Can you lend your father a few days... I swear that when I get better, I will definitely take you into the palace and return your father to you..."
Just like this, Xiaoyanzi became the princess in a daze.
A few days later, Xiaoyanzi finally walked out of Concubine Ling's bedroom.
On that day, she was wearing new clothes specially made for her by Concubine Ling, wearing gorgeous flag clothes and a little powder. Only under her feet were still wearing flat embroidered shoes.
Concubine Ling, wintersweet, Dongxue and palace maids surrounded her and were taking her to visit the Imperial Garden.
Concubine Ling pointed east and west, introducing the various scenery in the garden.
The little swallow saw what she had never seen and was amazed.
"This inner courtyard of the palace is not a matter of time and time. You can walk through it. You are just in good health and you can't walk too many ways. Just take a look!" said Concubine Ling.
Xiaoyanzi felt that everything was novel and couldn't help but be amazed:
"Ah, is this a yard or a city? Why are there so many houses? One goes left and the other goes right?" As he said that, he walked into a winding corridor, and couldn't help but be surprised, "There is no river, so a bridge is built?" Seeing plaques everywhere, it was very strange, "I don't sell anything, why are there so many signs hanging?" When he looked up, he saw a pavilion with a plaque with three big words "Yicui Pavilion". Xiaoyanzi didn't know many words. After reading for a long time, he said to himself: "Why is there a sign in the pavilion called 'Baocaojian'? What a strange name!"
Concubine Ling looked at Xiaoyanzi in shock. What? Didn’t that Yuhe teach her to study? She was a little confused in her heart, and Xiaoyanzi sighed and said:
"I seem to have arrived in a fairyland, and I have no sense of reality. When I leave the palace and return to the people in the future, I will tell them to them, and they probably won't believe it!"
Concubine Ling was shocked and couldn't help but look shaking. She looked at Xiaoyanzi carefully and said warningly:
"Grandpa, I'll tell you something very important!"
"What do you mean?" Xiaoyanzi asked indifferently.
"You have been recognized by the emperor now, and you will no longer be the little swallow you used to be! The emperor has so many princesses, and I have never seen which one he likes, like you like you! Being favored by the emperor is a supreme honor and a dangerous thing. In the palace, how many people are jealous and jealous..." As he said that, he lowered his voice, "I have to remind you that if you accidentally get caught with a braid, you may lose your life if you are confused!"
"How could it be so serious?" Xiaoyanzi didn't believe it.
"You better believe me!" Concubine Ling's eyes were serious.
In front of Xiaoyanzi's eyes, the queen's face and voice couldn't help but rise:
"This royal bloodline cannot be confused! If there is any flaw, it is a big deal of beheading, do you understand?"
The little swallow shivered with a chill and suddenly became anxious.
"But...Empress, I...I'll leave the palace sooner or later come home..."
Concubine Ling was so nervous that she hurriedly looked around and interrupted Xiaoyanzi:
"Shh! This is a taboo. What is 'going home', this is your home! From now on, your glory and wealth will be endless! But don't say it again, you still miss folk life, or... doubts about your parents. Now, the emperor has determined that you are the princess, and you are the true princess! You must believe this without a doubt!"
Xiaoyanzi was very anxious, what should Ziwei do? She couldn't help but burst out:
"Then...what if I'm not a princess, what should I do?"
Concubine Ling was shocked, and staggered and almost fell. Hanmei Dongxue hurriedly supported her.
Concubine Ling stood firmly, held Xiaoyanzi's arms tightly, her face pale, and her eyes stared at her tightly.
"If you are not a princess, you are a serious crime in deceiving the emperor, you will definitely beheaded! Not only will you beheaded, but there will be a large group of people involved, such as E Min, like me, like Fulun... and you can't get rid of it... So, you swallow this sentence into your stomach and never say it again!"
Xiaoyanzi was frightened by Concubine Ling's tone and expression. She knew that Concubine Ling's words were correct, and she couldn't help but feel very sad. Ziwei, Ziwei, what should I do now? I'm afraid of death, I don't want to die! I really can't bear to leave my head!
At this moment, Yongqi and Ertai walked over together.
Yongqi's eyes lit up when she saw the little swallow wearing a flag suit.
"Isn't this the princess I shot with an arrow?"
When Concubine Ling saw Yongqi and Ertai, she immediately turned her face and smiled.
"Fifth Prince!" He greeted Ertai again, "Ertai, I haven't seen your mother for a long time. I'll tell me and ask her to come to the palace when she's fine!"
Ertai quickly bowed to Concubine Ling and replied:
"Grandmaster is auspicious! My mother is also talking about the empress every day! But the whole family knows that the empress is very busy recently and needs to take care of the new princess..." As she said that, she looked at Xiaoyanzi and smiled.
Yongqi stared at Xiaoyanzi and was amazed:
"You were wearing this outfit, and you were completely different from being in the yard that day! I didn't expect that I had such a beautiful sister!"
Xiaoyanzi looked at Yongqi and suddenly remembered that Yongqi, who was holding him anxiously in the yard that day, felt a warm heart for no reason.
