Chapter 188 Past

"The princess said, why do men want to be so beautiful?" Yinhua refuted, and Yue Niang smiled and said, "She is not good-looking. Of course she said so." Yinhua glanced at Yue Niang, but smiled. Yue Niang's words were not wrong. Their prince was indeed better-looking than the princess.

The people in the forbidden period are full of things and rules, and they are not as happy as ordinary family members gather together. Li Tian and the fifth prince's son Zhao and daughter Mu share things. After the third update, they drank Tu Su wine, enjoyed incense bags and all kinds of auspicious Pepsi bags. The women's family members came out of the palace, and the man was led to wash by the waiter. Wash and change clothes, prepare for the first and most grand morning meeting of the New Year.

Originally, the internal and external wife also wanted to congratulate the queen on New Year's Day, but when the official ascended the throne, the rear position was empty. The rules of the internal and external wife to celebrate the queen on New Year's Day have been abandoned.

There is no need to celebrate New Year's Day, but there is no idleness in the whole day. Li Tian returned to her house to change her clothes, drank half a bowl of hot soup with Yingluo's hand, and rushed out in a hurry. She will meet with Princess Ji, Princess Han, Princess Zhu Mingyan of Jian'an County, and go to the old princesses of Qingxiu and the Qin clan. The elders greeted the New Year and were busy until the evening. They went to the palace to receive a banquet together, and then returned to the house. It was already midnight.

On the second day of the first lunar new year, I went to Daxiangguo Temple to enjoy incense. On the third day of the lunar month, I went to Nanyuan to watch horse racing arrows. On the fourth day of the lunar month, it was a big deal for the spring bulls to persuade farmers. It was also busy until midnight. On the fifth day of the fifth day of the lunar month, the family banquet was directly transferred to the sixth day of the first lunar month. The new year's Shangyuan Lantern Festival has begun, and Li Tian was temporarily transferred from the group. Stop for a moment.

As an adult prince, the fifth prince is naturally busier than Li Tian. Li Tian pauses, and he still goes out early and returns late.

Li Tian received the New Year's congratulations from the servants in the house, sent auspicious Fenger, and hurried back to the main courtyard to find Shui Qiu Niang.

Shui Qiu Niangxiang had been waiting for Li Tian to find her for a long time. She kept the red mud stove and boiled the water. First, she made a cup of tea and pushed it to Li Tian. She ordered a cup of tea by herself. While slowly stirring it with a silver spoon, she said calmly about the past: "After I was a criminal officer, I can't remember whether I was four or five years old. My family was copied, and I became Official slave, when I was six years old, the official family got married and opened a house, and I was divided into a hidden mansion as a slave.

Li Tian took a sip of tea and listened quietly and attentively to Shui Qiu Niang's past. Shui Qiu Niang held the cup and looked at the pot of delicate yellow daffodils on the corner of the kang. She stopped, and there was a little nostalgic smile from the corners of her mouth: "Since I entered the hidden mansion, I have never suffered. I remember clearly that that day, M Mother was going to take off my skin and told me that if I didn't learn to be smart, if no one wanted me, I would starve to death. At that time, I was not far from starving to death. That day, I stood in the sun with many girls. That was the first time I saw Sister Mingyue, and they all said that Sister Yue was long. It's not good-looking. Sister Mingyue also said that she was not good-looking, but until now, I just think Sister Mingyue is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

Li Tian looked at Shui Qiuniang in a blankly. Who is this Mingyue sister? Shuiqiu's face was already full of a warm smile: "That day, Sister Mingyue wore an apricot yellow dress, which was very elegant and beautiful. Like a fairy, Sister Mingyue asked me to go to the outer study. At that time, Sister Mingyue was the steward of the outer study. Sister Mingyue treated me very well. When my mother died, I was too young to remember that my mother was Whatever it looks like, I feel that the best mother and the best sister in the world are not half as good as Sister Mingyue.

Shui Qiuniang turned her head and looked at Li Tian and smiled, "It's not only that I think Sister Mingyue is good, but the girl in the study, who doesn't say that she is good, but knows that she is good in her heart. No one in the house, no one says that she is bad. At that time, the official family was very angry, but our foreign book Sister Fang Youmingyue said that it was funny. It was said that the official family had a bad temper to serve the marquis. I served the court in the outer study for so many years. Later, I followed Sister Mingyue to the Yugui Courtyard, and then went to the palace to make a piano worship. I never saw the official lose my temper.

Shui Qiu Niang's words stopped suddenly, as if something bad suddenly rushed up, dissipating a warm smile on her face. She looked out of the window in a daze. She had never seen the official family lose her temper, but saw the official family crying, which made people burst into tears...

"It's far again," Shui Qiuniang reluctantly smiled and said, "I was six years old when I entered the residence, and my sister Mingyue was 16 years old. I remember it clearly. She was ten years older than me. We were very happy in the two years in the outer study. Once a Qing guest played the piano for us across the wall. I was fascinated and wanted to learn. Qin, Sister Mingyue told the official family that the official family really invited me a master who had served in the workshop to learn the piano. I began to learn the piano from that time.

Li Tian blinked several eyes repeatedly. If Yingluo told herself which little girl wanted to learn the piano, would she ask her to learn the piano from a teacher? It seems not.

"I served in the study for two years. Sister Mingyue was taken over by the official family and lived in Yuguiyuan. They all called her Aunt Yao. I don't want to change my words, but I still call her Sister Mingyue."

"Aunt Yao? Uncle's biological mother?" Li Tian couldn't help blurt out, and Shui Qiuniang nodded: "Yes, the next year, Sister Mingyue gave birth to her eldest brother. When the eldest brother was born, she was white and fat, and she was very beautiful. Her little toes were like soybeans. At the full moon, her arms and hands were full of small nests. As long as she was awake, her hands and feet were not idle. Look When he saw people, his eyes bent like crescent moon teeth. The eldest brother fell asleep, and Sister Mingyue was also reluctant to put it down. The official family also loved the eldest brother very much. After all, he was the firstborn son. The eldest brother was one month old. Once the official family held him into the palace to show the Empress Dowager Xian Ciren. The Empress Dowager Ciren left the eldest brother by her side to raise him.

Li Tian's heart jumped wildly and stared at Shui Qiu Niang. For the first time, she found that Shui Qiu Niang was far less shrewd as she thought. Shui Qiu Niang was confused and sad: "I remember that Sister Mingyue was ill at that time, but I can't remember whether Sister Mingyue was ill first, or the eldest brother entered the palace first. Sister Mingyue was very sick for a long time. At that time, for a while, the officials came here every day, but they didn't stay overnight and left very late. Later, Sister Mingyue gradually got better.

"When Sister Mingyue was sick, she was afraid of quarreling, so I didn't dare to practice the piano in the yard. Later, the officials sent me to the teaching workshop to learn the piano for two years, and then sent me to the empress dowager's palace. In those years, the officials accepted Sun Sidefei. In the second year after entering the mansion, Sun Sidefei gave birth to the second master. The next year, she was carried into Fan Sidefei and gave birth to the third master, and later Aunt Ye and Aunt Huang, there are more and more aunts in the house, and there are more and more brothers and sisters. One year before the official family ascended the throne, it was the year when you were born. At that time, I was already very big. I became a palace. I was a little decent in the palace, and I can often come out to visit Sister Mingyue. Once I saw Sister Mingyue embroider this thing, "Water Qiu Niang took out the big red silk and stroked it back and forth with nostalgia and sadness: "It happened that the official family came. I was idle and bored, so I took it over to help Sister Mingyue embroider a few needles. It's this leaf." Shuiqiu pointed to the green leaf on the corner: "My needle and thread was taught by Sister Mingyue and often helped her make things. This time, Sister Mingyue was very unhappy and said that she must have embroidered this thing herself. Later... I didn't expect to see this piece of silk. It turned out that Sister Mingyue actually embroidered it for you to make a full moon gift."

Li Tian was stunned and only felt confused. He raised his hand and pressed his temple heavily. Mr. Shui entered the official's residence at the age of six. That year, his father was exactly one year old! Li Tian suddenly jumped off the kang and rushed straight out. Shui Qiu Niang's tea in her hand spilled out. Before she could react, Li Tian had rushed out of the room and ran away. In a moment, Li Tian rushed in again with a slightly flat yellow pear box in her hand, kicked her shoes and sat on the kang, opened the box and pushed it to Shui Qiu Niang, full of her arms. Looking forward to saying, "Mr. Shui, look at this and see if you recognize this."

Shui Qiuniang took out the square inkstone from the box, looked carefully, looked at it again, shook her head and said, "It's Fang Haoyan, looking like something in the palace, is this?" Li Tian was very disappointed and slowly took away the inkstone. He lowered his eyes and said vaguely, "It was put together with that little bracelet. I thought it was... she sent it together."

"I said that I was a servant beside the official family, but in fact, I had never been a job. In those years, I learned the piano in addition to playing every day." Shui Qiuniang looked at Li Tian apologetically. Li Tian exhaled gently, put away the inkstone and box, looked at Shui Qiuniang and asked, "Yao... When did my mother-in-law not have it? I heard that he died of illness?"

"Well, after this time, I went to see her two or three times. At that time, I was fine. After the Buddha Festival, I heard that she was ill, so I rushed there to see her. That day, the official was also there. I waited for most of the day, but the official did not leave, so I had to rush back to the palace. Later, I went there many times and watched her day by day. Well, who knows that not long after the Double Ninth Festival, her illness suddenly became serious. Before I could find another opportunity to see her, I said that she was gone. Shui Qiuniang's voice couldn't go on. Li Tian thought about the days in her heart. Aunt Yao's illness seemed to be almost at the same time as the tragedy of the Duke of Yongguo Mansion.

"How did Grandma Yao get to the official family? What does she come from? Who else is in my mother's family? Li Tian didn't care to comfort Shui Qiu Niang and asked anxiously.

"Sister Mingyue is similar to me. She has also entered the palace since she was a child. She has been serving the officials. She has never heard of her talk about her family, and she has never heard of anyone else in her family. Those who have entered the palace since childhood, except for the high-ranking official's family sending beautiful women to the palace. Alas, those who have entered the palace as high-ranking beautiful women are all nobles as adopted daughters. Raised, how can there be a maidservant for a slave? Most of the sister Mingyue is like me, and she is not in the palace. Shui Qiuniang is very depressed.
