Chapter 4 Dugu

I opened my eyes lazily and sped my waist comfortably. There was a continuous sound of clothes outside. After a while, Xiuxiu's head went into the bed and said with a smile, "I just asked you to get up. I woke up. It's early today."

I lifted the quilt, sat up, took the cup handed over by Xiuxiu, and drank it all in one gulp. Then I completely woke up: I'm in the palace.

After washing and garging my mouth, Lan Ying combed me with a pair of buns as usual, as if she didn't feel solemn enough. She opened the makeup box and carefully selected them, inserted a pair of pink butterfly hairpins into my hairpins, and decorated them with a cluster of jade-colored beads before giving up.

I stood up and looked at the skirt held in the maid's hand and pouted. Xiuxiu smiled and put on a petticoat for me and persuaded, "Look, my lord, how festive you are, like a fairy boy in the New Year painting." I got out of the way, turned around and took Lan Ying, and gave her a white look. It's stingy, and it's not that the maidservant asked you to wear it. Sister Lan ordered it. Why are you angry with me? Xiuxiu made a face to me.

I looked at Lan Ying puzzledly. She squatted down and straightened her skirt for me: "Doesn't you like it? I think the maidservant is very beautiful, and I think the Empress Dowager will be happy.

When I was young, the Empress Dowager really announced that I would have breakfast together. Because Lan Ying and others were not in the palace, they could not walk around with me, so I hurried to Changle Palace with a few strange palace attendants.

I was led to the main hall by the palace people. Before I could react, I was hit by a ring, and I was hugged into a fragrant embrace, and a slightly choked voice above my head sounded: "My Ayou, poor thing, you made my grandmother look forward to it."

I was stunned. Didn't my grandmother, the Empress Yide of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, have gone for a long time? Although I was confused, I was even more kind: "Grandmother, Ayou also misses you." Finally, it loosened. I thought it was time to salute, but my hands were tightly held by her and pulled straight to the couch on the steps. The little face was pulled up by her. "Poor, let grandma see it quickly. It's really painful, like a little pink ball."

I endured her wanton kneading on my face before I observed her carefully. Is she the Empress Dowager? At most, when she was in her 40s, Fu Fanshi Zhu, with her head and moth eyebrows, and her charm still existed, and she couldn't help sighing. This is really far from the image of the old lady with crane-haired and kind eyebrows in my imagination, and she was looking at me lovingly, as if I was really her great-granddaughter she hadn't seen for many years.

I was reverie and was interrupted by a soft child's voice: "Auntie, who is she?" I turned my head and noticed that a pink and jade doll was sitting on the soft couch next to me. It was white and clean, and a pair of phoenix eyes were looking at me brightly at this moment. I saw that he was as red as me, and even the red rope tied to his hair. I couldn't help but be happy. I had to let Xiuxiu see this baby's New Year painting than me!

"Oh, oh, Honger, you have another beautiful little sister. This is Ayou from the Hou family in Ruyang." The Empress Dowager pulled my hand with the little doll and said to me, "Ayou, this is the eldest son of my brother Anguo's family. You are about the same age, and you must get along well."

I know Dugujin, the Duke of An. It is said that there was a prince who wanted to kill the king and force the palace at the time of the emperor. At this critical moment, it was Dugujin who tried his best to turn the tide and calm down the chaos. The most convincing thing was that the chaotic party captured his family and threatened each other with his life. He was unmoved by sacrificing his family and his wife to protect the court. After that, the emperor personally made him the Duke of Anguo, and his own sister in the palace jumped from Jieyu to a noble concubine, and finally ascended to the throne that had been vacant for many years. The lonely family was extremely honored for a moment.

The lonely queen is the empress dowager who now let me call her grandmother. She is not the mother of the current saint. She has a son, but she is the remains of the former emperor and is awarded the title of King of Qi and Chu. It is said that she has been trapped in the deep palace all year round because of her physical weakness.

And this little fairy boy should be the old man after the continuation of An Guogong. The Empress Dowager wanted to ask our two children to cultivate their feelings. She said that she would order breakfast in person, so she left me and the little fairy alone.

I looked at the fairy boy next to me, who was only seven or eight years old, but he was a poor man who had left his hometown like me. Feeling really sorry for each other, I took the initiative to end our silent examination of each other and tried my best to look like a big sister: "Hang'er, how old are you?"

"I will be ten years old this winter solstice." After a long time, he replied to me, this little boy!

"I will be ten years old in autumn. It seems that I am still older than you. I will treat you as my own brother in the future, okay?" I blinked my eyes and looked at him with what I thought was the most sincere.

Who knew that he glanced at me and raised the corners of his mouth: "You call me aunt and grandmother. How can I be your brother?"

I only felt my eyebrows jump, "What about you?"

"I don't care about that, and allow you to call me Hong, but you always have to remember that I am your elder, and the younger generation has to listen to the elders." That voice is obviously immature, but it is cadence.

I gritted my teeth, looked at him with a sample face, and meditated: calm, calm, the strong dragon does not fight against the earth snake... At that time, I heard the footsteps from far and near after the screen, and suddenly turned to say, "How can that work? As an elder, how dare you call directly? Don't my father blame him for knowing it in the future? He raised his voice and said, "Yes, little-uncle-uncle!"

"What's the matter with such a random name?" The Empress Dowager came in with the sound.

I turned my back to the empress dowager and made a grimace at the little boy. It was not easy for him to attack the empress dowager, so he had to say, "How dare you? Sister You is telling Honger the story of her little uncle. If you come in, auntie."

"Little uncle? Are you talking about the King of Guangling? The Empress Dowager turned to ask me.

"This," I deliberately paused, and the little boy grabbed my hand hidden in Guangxiu and pinched it hard. "Youyou heard that Guangling, the fiefdom of my uncle, is very rich and beautiful." I nodded and replied. There was a soft shout beside me. The Empress Dowager looked thoughtful and repeated softly, "It's very rich~" Little boy, you owe me a favor.

The Empress Dowager was very happy to see that we "get along very well" and kept cooking for us while eating. After eating, the Empress Dowager was used to going to the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures, so she ordered the palace people to lead us to the imperial garden to play.

We winded along the flower path, and along the way, I pulled the palace people and kept asking questions. After all, this was the first time to face the palace.

At this time, it is spring, with bright flowers and sunshine, and the palace is full of flowers and willows. Behind the swaying green shadows, the palace stands towering. How can it not be sighing?

And the little boy went all the way. I don't bother to run with him. I heard that his father is usually an old seller in the court, and he can't get along with my father. It can be seen that a father has a son.

The calculation in my heart was interrupted by the sound of warblers floating in the waterside not far away. It was probably the harem ladies who were here to cool down. Dad said that the harem was a circle of right and wrong. Thinking about how to turn a blind eye and quickly bypass it, the little boy grabbed my hand and ran there, running and shouted, "Afu, Afu..."
