Chapter 81 Deep Palace Early October
"In the early October of the deep palace, the steps of the courtyard are extremely cool. ≥ Looking up at the return geese, looking down at the fragrance of flowers. I often think about the last year that the ancient road was late. I recall this year, and the fallen leaves flowed long..."
The steps are silent, and in the deep palace courtyard, the exotic plants in the flower beds are still bright. The pine and cypress trees that I don’t know how much money I spent to buy are also particularly lush and lush. They are lush and happy, but they cannot arouse the interest of the person sitting on the stairs.
It’s cold and winter is coming. Beijing’s latitude is higher and the climate changes are more obvious. Recently, I have been awakening for several days and can see a thin layer of white frost on the grass. This is the solar term for the fall of frost. In a few days, I guess the howling north wind is coming?
The man was not big, only six or seven years old. At this time, she had her hair tied with her hair, and her little face was fair and pure, as gentle as jade and as charming as snow, but her expression was not very happy.
She was wearing a satin dress with finely embroidered collar, and her neck tightened, and she turned out a circle of pure white fox fur, which set off her slender neck like a swan, making her look cool and noble. She was covered with water-green pants from Shujin, which were also well-made, and a pair of exquisite crested shoes on her feet. From top to bottom, it can be said that all showed the special nature of her identity, but she was still unhappy.
"Remember this year, the fallen leaves flowing long, good poetry and good artistic conception," a man's voice sounded, and then he slowly walked over from the corridor in bright yellow brocade clothes.
"Xiao Yu'er, I didn't expect that you are so young and have such a high talent. Haha, I have taught you for a few days, and I didn't expect that you could read such poems. It seems that in a short time, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you." The man walked to the little girl and sat down, looking at her with a smile on his face.
The little girl was indifferent and just hugged her knees and stared blankly.
"In the early October of the deep palace, the steps of the courtyard are extremely cold. Do you think this place is too lonely and no one can play with you? Why don't I help you find a few playmates, what do you think?" Zhu Houzhao gently pulled Xiao Yu'er's hand and asked.
Xiao Yu'er broke free from her hand, stood up, walked forward a few steps, and then said lightly: "There are gains and losses. Now she is a rich and frugal person, and she is a princess. What's the big deal? It's better than me running around with my dad, having a full meal and hungry meal, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes, your dad is a restless person. It's not interesting to follow him, so don't think about him. Isn't it great to stay here with me with peace of mind?" Zhu Houzhao said happily.
"Hmph, what a pity," But at this time, Xiao Yuer sneered.
"What a pity?" Zhu Houzhao said in confusion.
"It's a pity that no matter how poor or hard my father is, he is my father after all, and who are you? I won't be greedy for your wealth and wealth, nor do I care about any luxury. What I want is my father. Even if I die of hardship and starvation with him, I am happy. My father gives me a drop of water, which is better than others' blood. No matter how good you are, I don't care. You'd better let me go," the little girl's words made it hard to believe that she was only seven years old. Zhu Houzhao stared at her clear and spiritual figure for a moment, and was a little stunned, but she felt even more and more reluctant to let go.
Zhu Houzhao was very jealous of Liang Hong. He didn't know how many blessings this guy had cultivated in his lifetime. He had such a smart and charming daughter. In comparison, he was the emperor, but in fact he lived such a pitiful life, which was simply heartbreaking.
Now he has basically become a prisoner. Because of the last time when the imperial village happened, Yang Tinghe joined hands with the ministers in the court to write a letter to the empress dowager and confine the emperor. The empress dowager and that old woman were not his own mother after all, and he actually dealt with him with those bastard ministers. He really locked up himself up. Not only did he replace all the people around them, he also forced him to issue an order to kill Liu Jin, and then subdue Wei Bin and others. Even his "adopted sons" were arrested and executed one by one. In this way, he really became a lonely man. In the huge deep palace, no one could make him feel even a little warmth except Xiao Yu'er.
Yes, he also has a queen and a few concubines. Unfortunately, those women were like lumps of wood. Zhu Houzhao also had a bed with them. When he saw it from afar, he felt angry.
Alas, is this the emperor? Is this the emperor? Zhu Houzhao couldn't figure it out. He felt that the whole world was dark and there was no hope, and he even wanted to die.
Fortunately, with Xiao Yu'er's company, he was a little better. Although Xiao Yu'er has not been at ease here over the years and even often loses her temper, she is a child after all. Zhu Houzhao knows that she is not bad-hearted, so she is more tolerant and tolerant to her. She has always been very patient in teaching her to read, read, play the piano and paint, and sometimes even guide her swordsmanship. In short, Zhu Houzhao's heart is thrown on her and treats her as a spiritual sustenance.
However, what he didn't expect was that he had devoted so much effort, but Xiao Yu'er still didn't appreciate him, which made him feel really sad, and sometimes he even felt like crying.
However, Zhu Houzhao loved Xiao Yu'er very much. After all, she was worried that she would fall into depression again after hearing Xiao Yu'er's words. She quickly smiled loudly and said, "By the way, I have ordered someone to make the thing you told me a few days ago. Let's take it for you to see."
While Zhu Houzhao was speaking, he ordered his eunuchs to pick up things. Soon, he saw a small yellow door walking over with a wooden board that was about two feet long and half a foot wide, one round and one square, and then presented the board to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao took the wooden board, put it on the ground, pushed it for a while, and the wooden board slid on the ground. It turned out that four small wheels were installed under the wooden board, and the craftsmanship was really exquisite.
"Look, this is what you call skateboard. How about it? Is it like this?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Xiao Yu'er with a little flattering look and asked.
Xiao Yu'er looked at him, sighed helplessly, then walked forward, raised her little feet, stepped on the skateboard very lightly, and hit the ground, then controlled the skateboard very skillfully to slide in the yard. After she pedaled the ground twice, she stood on the skateboard together, and then her two little arms spread out, but she could slid a lot of distance in one go. That look was really cute and charming, and the skateboard was indeed unique in design, which made Zhu Houzhao scream magical, and couldn't help but go forward embarrassedly and said, "Let me try it too, let me try it too."
"Childish temper," Xiao Yu'er glared at him and gave him the skateboard. Zhu Houzhao imitated her, stepped on the skateboard, kicked the ground, and slid. As a result, when he was about to stand on the skateboard with both legs, he fell down because of the unstable center of gravity. He suddenly lost face and looked embarrassed.
"It's so stupid," Seeing this situation, Xiao Yu'er stepped forward and pulled him up. Then she stepped on the skateboard and slid forward while slid forward. "Look at it. When sliding, the center of gravity of the body should be kept up. Try to open your arms to maintain balance so that you won't fall."
"So that's the case, let me try again," Zhu Houzhao was full of joy. She grabbed the skateboard and slid up with interest. After a while, she mastered the key points and couldn't help laughing and joking. She stepped on the skateboard and ran around the yard. Her dancing look was really ridiculous and annoying, and she didn't look like an emperor at all.
"Hahaha, it's really a good thing, Xiao Yu'er, how did you come up with this thing? It's so amazing. Come on, I'll hold you and let the eunuchs and palace maids see it, and they're curious to keep it. Hahaha," Zhu Houzhao finally had a toy of satisfaction, so she wanted to show it off.
Xiao Yu'er slapped her mouth and was unhappy to go crazy with him. Unexpectedly, he slid over and hugged Xiao Yu'er in his arms without saying a word, and then rushed out of the door on the skateboard.
Xiao Yu'er had no choice but to stay quietly in his arms and let him carry it forward.
"Hehe, Xiao Yu'er, you are so smart. By the way, do you have any more fun ways? Why don't you tell me it all and make it all tomorrow, so that we won't be bored, don't you?" Zhu Houzhao slid forward, talking to Xiao Yu'er, and shouted to the eunuchs and palace maids around him: "Hahaha, look, my God's Power is coming, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
"Long live my emperor--" The eunuchs and palace maids were stunned at first, and it took a long time to react. It turned out that this guy with long legs, short legs, and sliding forward on wooden boards from time to time was his own emperor, so they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to welcome him. At the same time, they didn't feel curious, and didn't know what the thing Zhu Houzhao was stepping on was.
Zhu Houzhao was so happy that he turned around the boss in the palace. He also shouted and ran over from the empress dowager in the Cining Palace and scared the empress dowager that had happened. Many concubines in the harem also rushed out to watch the emperor play skateboarding. At that moment, they also felt a little novel about the thing under Zhu Houzhao's feet. However, in addition to paying attention to the skateboarding, they turned their jealous eyes to Xiao Yu'er in Zhu Houzhao's arms.
"This little girl, at such a young age, can already be so charming to the emperor. If she grows up in the future, where will she have her own place in this harem?"
The queen squeezed her fingers tightly, and a chill of hatred appeared in her eyes. Then she turned around and rushed towards Cining Palace.
"I wish you a blessing to the Queen Mother," the queen is also a 15 or 16-year-old girl. Her appearance is actually a child, but she is from a family and knows deeply that the various struggles in the palace are fierce. So at this age, she has actually developed a masterful palace fighting skills. Her deep scheming is unimaginable to a fool like Zhu Houzhao.
"Good boy, sit down quickly. Didn't the Ai family say that? It's cold and there's no need to pay your respects. Why are you here?" The Queen Mother asked with kind eyes and kind eyes, looking at the queen with loving heart.
"I, I have important matters to report to the Queen Mother, so I have to come," the queen said with embarrassment, and she said with embarrassment.
"Oh, what's the matter? Let's take a look," said the Queen Mother.
