Early the next morning, the emperor truthfully asked Concubine Li to send Xiao Zhouzhou to the East Palace.
He gave an excuse that the little princess's palace had not been built yet, so he asked the little princess to live in the East Palace temporarily.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan specially arranged a room in Xiao Mianmian's yard for Xiao Zhouzhou, and prepared three or four wet nurses.
These wet nurses were all selected by Du Wanchun himself, and they were no worse than those given by the emperor.
Li Fei was very reluctant to let go of the child when she brought her over. "Although this child only stayed with me for a few days, he is very close to me."
As she spoke, she held the child's fleshy hand and gently stroked the child's cheek.
Du Wanchun took the child and said with a smile: "Empress Li Fei, if you like this child, you can come to our palace often. Mianmian and I happened to have dried a lot of dried fruits a few days ago, so you can come to our place to drink fruit tea."
She and Xiao Mianmian were bored in the palace and dried a lot of dried fruits in the yard on one side of the East Palace. ?.?????.ℂ??
Concubine Li seldom walked around with other concubines in the palace, and she always stayed alone.
Du Wanchun was ecstatic about the invitation, his face was rosy, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Princess. As long as you don't dislike me, I will come every day."
Du Wanchun was very uncomfortable with the title of Crown Princess. He stood up and walked around with Xiao Zhouzhou in his arms. His eyes softened and he said, "How can a family dislike her? Your Majesty can live in our palace."
This was a joke, but Concubine Li really wanted to live in Du Wanchun's palace for a moment.
In just a few months, Du Wanchun and his children have been planting flowers, grass and trees here, and even the wind is filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Pushing open the palace door and walking into the courtyard, it feels like a paradise.
When Li Fei was in Cheng'an County, she longed for their Zhou family.
Now I am even more envious. The deep palace is obviously a prison, but Shopkeeper Du has turned it into a place outside the world.
When Li Fei was lost in thought, a call suddenly came from the distance.
"Ban Chun, how did I prune this flower?"
Du Wanchun looked back, his clear eyes brightening slightly.
Zhou Ruiyuan was wearing a white plain robe, his hair was untied, and the ink-like hair was splashed on the back like ink. In addition to being as noble as usual, there was also a hint of laziness and leisure.
He was holding a plate of freshly trimmed orchids in his hand, and he carefully brought the flowers to Du Wanchun, "My craftsmanship is average, so you can just make do with it. In a few days, I will also move the begonias in the backyard to their pots." middle."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Du Wanchun, his eyes filled with irresistible tenderness, which complemented the orchid in his hand.
This scene shocked Concubine Li, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Zhou Ruiyuan withdrew his gaze and said in a calm tone: "The emperor has returned to the palace recently, so I don't need to worry about the affairs of the court anymore. I can just stay at home with my wife to play with the flowers and plants."
He said he had nothing to do, but in fact he was busy with official duties until late at night every day, but this did not delay him from pleasing his wife and children during the day.
Li Fei couldn't help but be in a trance, and her face was even more envious.
Everyone knows that people's hearts are fickle. The emperor loved the queen so much in the beginning, but within a few years he became disgusted with her.
However, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun had been married for several years and had four children, but they still remained the same.
There are no traces of time on them, and their gentle and warm eyebrows look like they are still newlyweds.
Li Fei lowered her head slightly and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
If you can find such a good person in your life, you will die without regrets.
Seeing that Concubine Li was suddenly depressed, Du Wanchun hugged Xiao Zhouzhou and approached her and asked: "Empress Li Fei, what's wrong with you?"
Empress Li Fei smiled, her nose was sore, and she said slowly: "I feel very comforted to see your family so happy."
At this time, Xiao Zhouzhou suddenly stretched out his hand and scratched Concubine Li's sleeves, as if to comfort her.
Du Wanchun's eyes showed a smile, and he said warmly: "My queen, don't worry, you will be like us in the future, and your family will be happy and healthy."
In order to repay her kindness, Concubine Li entered the palace and became the emperor's favorite concubine. She no longer asked for love.
But Du Wanchun's words made her life seem to have a glimmer of light, as if it was true as she said, and she could have such a life in the future.
Zhou Ruiyuan placed the pot of orchids on the table, "If Concubine Li likes it, I will send two pots over later."
Concubine Li stood up and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Du Wanchun looked carefully at the pot of orchids on the table, raised his eyes to Zhou Ruiyuan and asked, "Mr. Mianmian, where is Mianmian?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Xiao Mianmian's crisp laughter coming from the yard.
They all walked to the door and looked outside.
I saw little Mianmian standing on the swing under the banyan tree, swinging.
Wearing a long goose-yellow veil, she swung up and down on the swing. Under the blue sky, she looked like a little fairy who had just arrived in the world.
At this time, the sun shone, and it reflected a colorful light on her body like thin smoke.
"Dad~Mom~ do you think it's tall or not?"
She swayed high and called to Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan with a smile, her eyes as clear as spring water curved into a round moon that made people blind.
Du Wanchun looked at her smiling face and was filled with emotion.
Little Mianmian is almost seven years old now and will grow up to be a big girl in ten years.
Li Fei covered her mouth and smiled: "This child is not afraid of falling when he swings so high."
