As Nian Shen said, he turned his head to look at Miaoyan who was sitting beside me, and then walked over happily, bent down on Miaoyan's eyes, which were two pairs of black and white eyes that were as clear as the cleanest lake water in the world. When he looked at each other, they all looked so clear when they were reflected in each other's eyes.

Nian Shen said softly: "Miaoyan."

Miaoyan looked at him motionlessly.

"I am my brother, Miaoyan, have you heard me speak?"

“…”

"I came to play with you last time, do I remember?"

He was not much older than Miaoyan, but his expression seemed much more mature than this dull sister. Seeing Miaoyan sitting motionlessly, he leaned over and pressed his cheek against Miaoyan's chubby cheeks. He gently patted her face with his other hand: "Miaoyan, brother is here."

Looking at them, or his friendship, although I was still motionless and dull, I was very worried, but I felt a little relieved. I reached out to scrutinize Miaoyan's hair and said, "I really don't know when she will recover."

Nian Shen raised his head and looked at me: "Aunt Qing, don't worry. Sister Miaoyan is so cute, God will not bear to let her be like this all the time."

He said, then turned to Miaoyan again: "Is that so? Sister."

Miaoyan's dark, star-like eyes looked at him. At this moment, she suddenly raised her hand slowly and gently touched Nian Shen's cheek.

Suddenly, all of us were stunned.

I couldn't believe my eyes: "Miaoyan!"

She didn't move, as if she didn't hear any sound from the outside world at all, and felt any changes from the outside world. She just looked at him with her black eyes, and then the palm of her little hand was pressed against Nian Shen's cheek, and she didn't move.

Nian Shen also showed a happy smile on his face: "Sister Miaoyan!"

However, Miaoyan did not make another move, but just pressed his palm on his cheek. After a while, he slowly put down his hand.

Although it was just that moment, it was enough to make us happy.

Nian Shen raised his head and looked at me, and said happily: "Aunt Qing, look, Sister Miaoyan must know everything, but she just can't say it. I think she will get better slowly, don't worry too much."

My heart was also pounding wildly because I saw Miaoyan finally having perceptions of people from the outside world. At this time, listening to Nian Shen’s comfort, I seemed to really feel that everything was like this. My daughter was slowly getting better. I reached out and gently stroked her head, and then said, "I borrowed you good words."

Because we had met in Jixian Hall before and had talked about everything we should have, the two of them were very relaxed at this time and just sat and chatted. After a while, Madam Wu and Su Su brought another box of hot meals. I remembered that I only ate half of my meals, but they brought a lot of them back, so they still set up half of the table. I thought about it and asked, "Have you used the meal?"

"No, I just rushed back from Jixian Palace. I heard that Aunt Qing was coming, and it was not too late."

"Then, your highness should use it if you want to use it."

“…”

I paused for a moment and didn't say anything.

I didn't know what was going on, so I looked at him blankly, only to see him looking at the food on the table, and immediately smiled and said, "Okay."

So, he sat down.

I didn't think much about it and started eating with him.

He doesn't have much appetite. If you say that a boy of this age is just when he grows up, he only ate half a bowl of rice and put two pieces of pickled goose and stopped eating it. No wonder he became so thin. I saw him put down the bowl and said softly: "The weather is so cold, and your highness only eats this, I am afraid that your body will not be able to bear it."

He looked up at me.

"Eat a little more, this soup is good, and the rice is hot and hot."

"Yeah, OK."

He nodded, and then I smiled and asked Susu to add half a bowl of rice to him, soak in hot soup, and put on a plate of sour, spicy and refreshing side dishes, which I quickly ate.

He seemed to be very comfortable with the warm soup and his pale face turned red. As soon as he put down the bowl, Kuaer came over to call him, and only then realized that he had eaten here. Nian Shen stood up and said, "Aunt Qing, you just came back, let's take a break first."

I nodded: "Yeah."

When he turned around and left, Kou'er turned around and looked at the empty bowl on the table, and looked at me again: "Miss Qing, how much has Your Highness eaten?"

"Not much, just one bowl of rice and half a bowl of soup."

"Oh," she nodded and said with a smile: "Miss Qing, it's better that you're back. To be honest, your highness has never eaten in the palaces of other ladies over the years."

"ah……"

I was slightly stunned, and she turned to see that Nian Shen had walked away, so she hurriedly nodded at me, turned around and chased me out.

I sat at the table and then I understood it a little. No wonder I just said I wanted to eat together with Samantabha. He was a little hesitant. It turned out that he had never eaten other people's food in other people's places over the years. Of course, this was explained by Chang Qing. In order to protect him, I can imagine how much pressure he has been under in his heart over the years.

No wonder, the chubby and always smiling face at the time has become thin and pale, and it is not easy to smile.

Thinking of this, I sighed.

When Madam Wu saw me like this, she seemed to guess what I was thinking, and said softly: "In the past few years, Your Highness seems to have grown up all of a sudden, no longer willful, nor so naive. If the girl hadn't come back, we would have rarely seen him once or twice and said a word to him."

As I listened, I felt a hint of bitterness in my heart, and I just smiled.

On this day, the snow was particularly heavy.

After Nian Shen left, I heard the strong wind outside. I didn’t plan to go out for a walk. After all, this is not the Liu Mansion, and I am not the streets that can make people walk freely and sway. However, I was locked in the wind and snow and I was somewhat depressed. I hugged Miaoyan and sat on the couch with a blanket covered with my body to take a nap.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents later! But after sleeping, I fell asleep.

In the hazy state, it seemed that the wind was blowing very coldly outside, and it seemed that in my dream, the sound of the wind blowing snow foam against the window.

In my dream, I also hugged Miaoyan, sleeping on the couch with warm body.

I spoke gently in Miaoyan's ear.

The wind is so strong that I don’t even know if she can hear my voice, but I really believe what Nian Shen said just now. Maybe she can hear, she can see, she understands everything, but she can’t say it or express it. If this is true, then I will say to her, smile at him, and let her know that no matter how far she reaches, even if it is the same as before, I am in the palace, she is in Jiangnan, and across thousands of mountains and rivers, my mother will not give up on her.

But, I really don't want her to spend her future here.

Especially today, I feel even more sad when I know that Nian Shen has never dared to eat in the palace of any other empress over the years. I am even more sad. I was helpless when I sent Miaoyan back to Pei Yuanhao, and it was also for her condition. But what should I do if her illness is really cured?

Could it be that she really wants to let her no longer trust anyone, not eat other people's food, not drink other people's water, be careful and be cautious until she grows old?

However, Nian Shen and Miaoyan, they were such cute children, and they should have been treated well by everyone.

I have had many pains in my life, but I have had time to be happy. No matter what it was, I am still willing to recall the happiness I have experienced, and still don’t regret having lived half of my life like this. But how should my daughter, her half of her life be experienced?

Or will you be trapped in this red wall, and flowers bloom and fall?

Just as I hugged her in a daze and said the worries in my heart, a voice said in my ear: "Have you never thought about accompanying her to complete the next life?"

I was a little confused - "I, of course I want to be with her."

"That's not very good?"

"But, don't be here."

"Why?"

"Because, all the happiness I have experienced is obtained outside this red wall. Here, no one will truly treat her sincerely, and no one will always protect her. I have experienced all the pain, and I don't want her to go on the same path as me."

“…”

The voice fell silent.

And just after I said that, I suddenly felt an indescribable throbbing in my heart, as if I realized something - that voice was so real that even if it sounded in a dream, it would be enough to pull me back from the dream to reality.

I opened my eyes all at once.

I saw a tall figure standing beside the couch. I don’t know how long I had slept, but the sky outside had turned dark, and candles had been lit in the room. The candlelight was swaying on the table behind him, just like my beating heart at this moment, and his shadow was thickly spread on us, like a net that surrounded me and Miaoyan.

It's Pei Yuanhao!

Why did he come to my room?!

I sat up straight. Miaoyan in my arms was still sleeping in a daze. At this time, I hugged her and sat upright. She was so scared that she shrank, and Pei Yuanhao hurriedly reached out and pressed my shoulder.

"Do not move."

“…”

"Don't scare her."

“…”

My heart was still beating in my chest, and even Miaoyan, who was nestled in my arms, could feel my violent heartbeat. When he raised his head, he saw Pei Yuanhao bent down. Most of his face was hidden in the shadow, making me unable to see clearly. His expression at this moment.

My heartbeats keeps beating, and I remember the sound I heard just now in my dream.
