Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 119 Riddles Contest
Thinking of this, the envoy couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart and swore secretly that once he had the chance, he would secretly send his family, especially his young children, to a safe haven far away from the capital.
Because in this vortex of power, the court seems to be about to face a violent storm, and in this storm, anyone may become a victim.
The queen was completely unaware of all this, and even if she did notice, she probably wouldn't take it to heart.
With the careful help of the palace maids, she left the Zichen Hall, which symbolized authority, at a leisurely pace and walked towards her quiet and elegant Wutong Palace.
The queen's carriage slowly moved along the snow-covered path. Wherever it passed, the palace maids and eunuchs saw the carriage and hurriedly knelt on the ground, paying their respects.
Through the car window, the queen coldly watched those humble figures, and a figure that made her unhappy emerged in her mind. "What is the current situation of that vixen and her bastard?"
There was dissatisfaction between her brows and a hint of disgust in her tone.
The personal maid Ta Yue at the side understood what he meant. After a moment's thought, she replied, "The life of the mother and son is indeed not easy. It is said that their wet nurse has fallen ill. Now there is only an elderly servant in the Zhaiyue Palace who is still struggling to support them."
"Humph! There is actually someone available. The woman's means of deceiving people's minds really should not be underestimated."
The queen sneered, her eyes flashing with ruthlessness, "Go tell the Imperial Hospital not to distribute medicines without authorization, especially not to let any medicines enter the Moon-Picking Palace!"
Ta Yue immediately bowed her head and accepted the order. The order quickly spread in the harem and reached the Imperial Hospital.
Although many concubines may have felt disdainful after hearing this, no one dared to comment under such circumstances.
In a corner of the imperial palace, there is a long-forgotten palace. Its former glory has been covered by the dust of time. It is overgrown with weeds, and under the dilapidated eaves, there is an indescribable sadness and loneliness.
Who lived here and why was it abandoned?
As time goes by, everything is buried deep in the past.
In this ruined village, the few remaining houses stand crookedly, as if they are nature's last mercy, allowing the homeless to find shelter on stormy nights.
Those dilapidated roofs, although covered with traces of time, still tenaciously block the pouring rain, retaining a trace of dignity and hope for people.
Zhao Yue'er stood in front of the simple stove, holding a mottled iron spoon in her hand, concentrating on stirring the herbs in the medicine jar.
The hands that once plucked the strings of a musical instrument and held a brush to paint are now at ease amid the aroma of medicine and fireworks.
Every drop of her sweat embodies her desire for the continuation of life. Even in the past years of luxury, this folk skill has never been wasted. Instead, it has become more precious in adversity.
As the medicine bubbled up and down, a bitter aroma mixed with warmth slowly filled the room. This scent seemed to penetrate the cold and bring spiritual comfort to people.
However, along with the smell of medicine, there were also a few low and suppressed coughs, which echoed in the empty house, revealing the weak physical condition of the resident.
When the medicine was boiled to just the right degree, Zhao Yue'er took light steps and reached out to take the rough pottery bowl placed beside her. At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by Zhu Ling's familiar voice with a hint of panting.
Although the old servant had a slightly bent back, his steps were still steady. He hurriedly put down the food box in his hand, walked quickly forward, and took the medicine jar from Zhao Yueer's hand with a pair of wrinkled but still strong hands.
"My queen, how can you take care of these trivial matters yourself? It should be my old bones that should bear it." Zhu Ling's words were full of heartache, and loyalty flashed in her weathered eyes.
Zhao Yue'er felt mixed emotions as she looked at the old servant in front of her who had spent almost half his life with her family.
Over the years, she had repeated this sentence countless times, and each time she said it so sincerely, but Zhu Ling would just smile every time and continue to hold on to the persistence in his heart.
"You are always like this. Now, I am just a concubine who has fallen from favor. How can I still be a queen? In this deep palace, we should lean on each other and keep each other warm."
There was a hint of helplessness in her words, as well as a sense of relief that came from calmly accepting her fate.
In the corner of the room, the child was cleaning seriously with his head down. Although his movements seemed clumsy, he revealed a calmness beyond his age.
He was about five or six years old, with some baby fat still on his face, but the temperament revealed in his eyes already vaguely foreshadowed his extraordinary future.
Zhao Yue'er stared at the child's back, a complex emotion welling up in her heart - this child, whether in his eyes or behavior, looks so much like his father, her second brother who was exiled.
As the night deepens, the air in Zhangjia Village is filled with a festive atmosphere. The sound of firecrackers one after another pushes the excitement of New Year's Eve to the extreme.
Children holding colorful lanterns played and chased each other in the village alleys. Even in the dead of night, the lanterns in front of every household were still as bright as daylight, illuminating everyone's smiling faces and adding a bit of warmth and peace.
Xiao Youniang almost forgot the passage of time in the joy. She only remembered that she was very excited about the lively lantern riddle guessing competition organized by Uncle Zhou Xiucai.
Every time a puzzle is solved, the children will win a melon seed as a reward. That simple happiness passed among the children is more precious than any gold, silver or treasure.
When the big brother on the table proudly showed off his trophies, although little Youniang had only a few, her little hands were filled with the selfless sharing of her brothers and sisters and Uncle Zhou Xiucai. At that moment, happiness welled up in her heart like a spring, and she felt that she owned the whole world.
As for when Zhou Xiucai quietly left, Xiao Youniang could no longer remember. When she opened her eyes again, the first ray of sunlight of the New Year's Day was shining through the window.
In order to welcome the New Year, Xiao You Niang folded her new clothes neatly and placed them next to her pillow early. It was a carefully selected cotton-padded jacket with a red background, embroidered with a lively pattern of a jade rabbit picking osmanthus, symbolizing good luck and reunion.
The rabbit fur boots on my feet are warm and soft.
With the roar of the first firecrackers in the morning light, Xu Liyun saw her daughter crawling out from the quilt. Her jet-black hair was messy but full of vitality. She was smiling and couldn't wait to put on the new dress with good meaning.
The red cotton-padded jacket tightly wraps around the little girl's petite body, keeping her warm and making her look energetic. The little girl is like a round little Fuwa, full of New Year's joy and blessings, ready to welcome her own New Year story.
