When I walked in from the mourning hall outside, I actually felt something in my heart. It was not until this time that I heard Miaoyan talk about me and asked, "Where is your prince brother?"
"He's gone."
“Where have you gone?”
"I don't know. Not long after I came here, I disappeared from the prince's brother. I asked the queen, but she said she wouldn't ask me, let alone ask my father. She said that the father was already very worried and could not cause trouble for him."
“…”
"I wonder if the prince's brother has left and gone somewhere else."
I thought about it and didn't ask any further questions.
It seems that after experiencing some things, Miaoyan is much more mature than the innocent, even a little reckless and willful girl in the past. She is indeed not wrong - Pei Yuanhao stayed here because he still had to dispatch some things in Shanxi, and the prince is the foundation of the country and cannot stay here with him, otherwise if there is a case, it will be all over. If I guess correctly, a group of people should have escorted Nianshen to continue moving southwest.
Perhaps, their purpose is Xichuan.
I smiled and stroked her hair gently, and said softly: "Your prince's brother has a special status and is sent to another place, but don't tell anyone about this. Your father has a lot of things in his heart now, and it's very difficult. Don't bother him, behave, it's right to listen to the Queen."
"Um."
Miaoyan nodded to me very seriously.
Since I received her letters before, looking at the cautious and fair words on it, and seeing her now, I really want to sigh in my heart that my daughter has grown up and has become much more mature than when I left Beijing.
But the next moment, she threw herself into my arms like a coquettish cat, wrapped her hands around my neck, and rubbed my cheeks with her cheeks.
No matter how mature you are, you are my daughter.
I just felt that my heart was so soft that it was about to melt away, so I reached out to hold her and said, "My wonderful words, just don't grow up."
She buried her face between my neck and said in a muffled voice: "Why don't I want me to grow up?"
"You will not stay with your mother forever when you grow up."
“…”
"But I hope that you will always be so big and sensible, so that you can always hold you."
She listened and hugged me even tighter: "That mom, never leave me!"
I smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in my smile.
Of course I don’t want to leave her. From the moment I gave birth to her, I hope to be with my daughter forever, no matter how hard it is, just like when I was a child, I wanted to stay with my mother forever; but the facts are so ridiculous. Every time we say "forever", we say so loudly, as if we can make the decision, but we are often like duckweed, and we are swept away with a gust of wind and waves.
I smiled bitterly and patted her on the back: "Silly girl, when you grow up in the future, you will get married and get married, and you will never leave. Are you going to take your mother to your husband's house?"
When she heard this, she stamped her feet in a hurry: "I don't want to get married!"
Now that she has grown up, she looks like a girl. She knows she is shy. I smiled, but a little tears can't help but seep out of my eyes.
As I smiled and said this, I forgot the time. What did she do after I left, what happened when I left Beijing, and how to settle it here, I probably told me all of them. I listened carefully and gradually understood that this evacuation was indeed prepared by Pei Yuanhao from the beginning. Chang Qing should have known that he had been helping him to dispatch the affairs of the harem, so everything went so smoothly.
After she finished speaking, she blinked her big eyes and asked, "Mom, what happened again after I went to Xichuan?"
"I..."
I thought about it and said, "I encountered a lot of things when I returned to Xichuan. One thing is-your grandmother Bintian."
"Grandma..."
Her eyes flashed slightly, and she thought of the majestic old lady Yan in Xichuan.
However, for her, this was probably not a big deal, nor was it a grief.
Xue Qian looked in front of her and was not kind and friendly. She almost crippled me with a dragon stick for the first time when she met. After that, she scolded Miaoyan several times. Although she gave Miaoyan a big gift before we left, as a child, she would not understand the true meaning of elders' scolding and harshness, but she would often remember her own sadness and fear when the elders scolded her.
I think she is very complicated even if she has feelings for her grandmother.
Sure enough, she was silent for a while and said softly: "Then, I will pray for my grandmother."
I gently stroked her hair: "Be good."
She was quiet for a while, then opened her eyes wide and looked at me: "Mom, have you encountered anything other than grandmother's affairs?"
“…”
If she asked me what happened after leaving her just now, it was out of curiosity and concern for me, then it seems that I will have more meaning after asking again.
I subconsciously lowered my head, but she immediately lowered her head and buried her head between my neck, as if she wanted to avoid my gaze.
I said, "Miaoyan?"
She said in a muffled voice: "I listened to them and said something."
My brows frowned slightly.
Only then did I feel that the doors and windows of the house were closed and there was not even a gap left. I was really holding my breath, and I even felt my breathing and heartbeat heavier.
I was silent for a moment and said, "What have you heard?"
"They said, they said that this time the father left the capital because someone wanted to call him. The father left the capital to protect, to protect... to protect the country."
“…”
"They said that my mother was also kidnapped."
“…”
"They also said that wars were everywhere and many people died."
“…”
"Also, they said that the capital city is now occupied, and the palaces we live in are gone, and there are no people. The people who occupied the capital have become emperors themselves, and they have listed the eight major crimes of the father and told the world that the father has now - no longer -"
Speaking of this, she didn't dare to say anything. I don't know who was gossiping about these words, but obviously, the gossiping person did not dare to say anything further.
My voice was hoarse: "What else have you heard?"
This time, Miaoyan slowly raised her head, and a pair of apricot kernel eyes flashed with an uneasy light. She said softly: "They said that the people who fought the war, the people who drove their father away from the capital, and the people who kidnapped their mother, are my father."
