Chapter 36 Changqing
Just as the sun was on the branches, the longer the colder the Chonghua Palace sounded, the laughter of children came.
"My Fair Mother!" Zihan rushed into the hall and rushed to Chang'an.
Chang'an was surprised and happy. He picked up Zi Han to his knees, reached out and picked up a piece of candy and steamed cheese from the breakfast dish and handed it to her. He smiled gently, "Why did Zi Han come so early?"
Before he finished speaking, Hexiang, who was chasing all the way behind, rushed into the hall. She leaned against the door and kept gasping. When she turned around, she saw Zihan sitting on Chang'an's lap, eating with candy and steamed cheese with relish, so she smiled bitterly and said to Chang'an, "Empress Xianfei, the emperor is running so fast that I can't catch up with you."
Looking at Hexiang's appearance, Wanxiang on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
Zihan stared at her big watery eyes and looked at He Xiang indifferently and said, "Who told you to run too slowly?"
Such childish words made Chang'an and several palace ladies in the palace laugh.
Hexiang's face turned red and she struggled to defend herself, "Now the Emperor is old, it's really hard to deal with. She looked at Emperor Ji's aunt two days ago and she was dodging her waist..."
As soon as this said, a smile appeared. Chang'an glanced out the window with a smile on his face and asked, "Is Zhao Ronghua here too?"
Hexiang shook his head and said, "No, the little master is still resting in the hall at this time."
Chang'an nodded slightly, thinking about what Aunt Chen said a few days ago, and felt even more elusive.
"Mother Xian, I want it."
Zihan interrupted Chang'an's thoughts with a voice.
She stretched out her little hand and wanted to grab another piece of candy on the plate. Chang'an was amused by her actions, and pushed the plate directly in front of her, and then ordered, "Tengxiang, go and get some cream melon seeds and plums for the Emperor."
Wanka bowed with a smile and agreed to continue.
Zihan ate candy crispy food, his mouth was filled with stuff, but his hands were still thinking about another food.
Seeing this, Chang'an secretly felt a little funny, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe the residue of Zihan's mouth. Zihan quickly finished half a plate of candy sauce, leaned on Chang'an's arms, yawned, and whispered, "Mother Xian, why didn't you come to see me when Zihan's birthday?"
Chang'an felt a little nervous and turned to laugh, "Didn't Mother Xian send you the gift?"
"That's different!" Zihan suddenly stood up and pouted unhappily at Chang'an, "Zihan hasn't seen a fair mother for a long time, so Zihan went to ask his father... but the father said... he said..."
Listening to Zihan stammeringly, Chang'an felt anxious and couldn't help asking, "What did your father say?"
"The father said..." Zihan raised his head and looked carefully at Chang'an's face. His voice gradually lowered, "The father said that Xian's mother is sick recently, so he will not let Zihan disturb Xian's mother..."
When she heard this, a sour and sad feeling came up in her heart. But she easily covered up her expression on her face, and picked up a piece of candy and chewed it slowly, as if she hadn't realized it.
Just at this time, Wanxiang had already brought several plates of food. When Zihan saw something delicious, he suddenly became happy and jumped out of Chang'an's arms and rushed to the table.
Seeing that she was so lively and cute, Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little moved and said warmly, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Zi Han nodded repeatedly, but did not stop the movement in her hand. Finally, when she had eaten enough, she reached out to face Hexiang. Hexiang immediately understood and quickly trotted forward and picked her up and put it on the couch.
Zihan sat at Chang'an with ease and grinned at her, "Mother Xian, do you know? On the day of Zihan's birthday, Concubine Zhong came. But I didn't like her at all, so I broke the bracelet she gave. As a result, she got angry and looked fierce, which was really scary..."
Zi Han said while recalling the situation at that time, his expression on his face became a little more frightened.
When Chang'an heard her telling, he couldn't help but think of Zhong Yuxiu's angry expression in his mind. He felt a little funny. I'm afraid that this little guy also helped her get angry with Zhong Yuxiu.
Chang'an reached out to caress the broken hair on Zi Han's forehead. Just as he was about to say something, the bead curtain outside the door moved, and in a flash, Han Yan came in with a happy look on his face.
Since Chang'an fell out of favor, she has never seen Han Yan so happy again. I think there must be something good today. She was about to ask, but Han Yan was already in front of her and said, "Master, see who is here."
Chang'an was about to get up, but Shen Changqing had already walked into the hall and called her with a smile, "Chang'an."
When Chang'an saw Changqing, he almost couldn't help but feel excited and rushed forward. She stood in front of Changqing, looked at him in disbelief, almost crying with joy, "Why are brothers here?"
Changqing explained his smile at the corners of his eyes and brows. He turned around and saw a girl who looked like four or five years old sitting on the couch, frowned and looked at him, then smiled and asked, "Chang'an, this is..."
At this time, Chang'an suddenly remembered that Zi Han was still in the hall and hurriedly said, "This is the emperor's eldest daughter, Emperor Shuyi."
Shen Changqing nodded and bent his knees and said, "My minister Shen Changqing has seen the emperor's princess."
Zihan curled his lips, but he was not willing to treat her like this.
Seeing this, Chang'an smiled slightly and said, "Zihan, will Xian's mother ask Xiao Dezi and Xiao Shanzi to play with you?"
When Zi Han heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and said happily, "Okay! They run fast! I want to play with them!"
Chang'an laughed twice, turned around and called Wanxiang and Hexiang, and took Zihan down.
After everyone stood back, Chang'an poured two cups of tea and handed one of them to Changqing. Yanran smiled and said, "When did my brother come? Why didn't anyone notify me?"
Changqing sipped a sip of tea, and his tone was also happy, "I think that you are in the palace and have many rules in everything, so it's not really troublesome..."
Before he finished speaking, Changqing coughed several times. Changan thought he had choked just now, so he quickly patted his back, but his cough was heavy and heavy. After a few coughs, his face turned pale. Changan trembled in his heart and asked, "Is brother sick?"
Changqing waved his hand while coughing, "It's not hindering...it's just a little wind and cold..."
Seeing that he was coughing so hard, Chang'an felt a little bad, "Do you want me to pass on the imperial physician to take a look? The wind and cold cannot be delayed."
When Changqing heard this, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "No need, I have seen a doctor, and I will be cured if I drink medicine on time."
When Chang'an heard that he had seen the doctor, he stopped insisting and said warmly, "Then you have to listen to the doctor and take the medicine."
When Changqing heard this, he felt a little funny, "Can I even know this?" Suddenly, he thought of something again, and said with a smile on his face, "I'm here to see you, and the second is that my father and Aunt Lan brought you a lot of things, and I had already given Han Yan just now."
Chang'an heard Changqing only mentioned his father and Aunt Lan, and was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Then my mother..."
Changqing Yiran was stunned, then said with a look of relief, "I am here to leave this time, and I haven't had time to go to the eldest lady..."
Chang'an smiled sadly, and he couldn't refuse. When did she start to care about her mother? Now that her mother has Changle to take care of, she has no time to take care of her.
Changqing seemed to see Chang'an's thoughts, and Kuanyan comforted him, "The aunt has always been thinking about you. Everyone in the family is thinking of you. I hope you can go back to Lin'an to have a look."
There was a warm and soft place in Chang'an's heart that was gently touched. For her, was she still home? She was used to her mother's coldness and father's neglect. The only thing worth thinking about was Changqing and Changle. She remembered that before entering the palace, she returned to Chen Mansion with Chu Luo. Both her father and mother all spoke in unison and persuaded her to enter the palace. But now, she has entered the palace and she has become a virtuous concubine, but she is facing three thousand people in the harem. She can no longer have Chu Luo alone, and she has also tasted the taste of being ignored. Is all this what her parents want?
She held back and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed down and asked, "Didn't sister-in-law come with you?"
When Changqing's wife Gu Qiuyi was mentioned, his eyebrows suddenly became dark.
Chen Changqing has been married for many years. His marriage was arranged by his father. After writing the invitation to the eight characters, Chen Changqing married his wife he had never met.
And shortly after that, Chang'an became married.
Chang'an actually has no impression of this sister-in-law who has never met several times. It's just that they have never had children for many years since they got married, Chang'an speculated that their relationship should not be very good.
Sure enough, when Chang'an asked Gu's, Changqing's face immediately became a little ugly. When he was excited, he coughed even more violently.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chang'an hurriedly added water to Changqing to bring it to him. Changqing took a big sip and his breath calmed down a little. He looked at Chang'an, and there was an indescribable emotion between his eyebrows, but his tone was just faint, "She is busy with the affairs of the mansion, and she has no time to come together."
Chang'an nodded slightly, but didn't ask more questions.
She picked up the teapot and wanted to give Changqing another cup of tea, but he was about to get up and take his leave.
"Why... I'll leave in a short while?" Chang'an frowned, feeling extremely reluctant.
Changqing bowed slightly and said, "There are rules in the palace, so the concubines and their families are not allowed to visit the palace for too long."
Chang'an felt a little sad. He thought that Changqing had been rushing for so long but said these words to her, and he was a little unbearable. But when he thought that his current situation could no longer ask Chu Luo for extra kindness, so he said, "That brother, be safe all the way."
Changqing nodded slightly, coughed a few more times, and gradually walked away under Chang'an's gaze.
Han Yan happened to bring food, but saw that Changqing had left, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is Mr. Shen leaving so soon?"
Chang'an tried his best to calm down, but a tear still streaked across the corner of his eyes. She turned around and entered the hall without saying a word.
Han Yan finally saw Chang'an happy, but it ended up miserably, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. She looked at Chang'an's departure back, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind.
