Early the next morning, the emperor truthfully asked Concubine Li to send Xiaozhouzhou to the East Palace.

gave an excuse that the little princess's bedroom had not yet been built, so let the little princess live in the East Palace temporarily.

Du Bangchun and Zhou Ruiyuan specially sorted out a room in Xiaomian's courtyard for Xiaozhouzhou, and also prepared three or four nurses.

These nurses were all personally selected by Du Bangchun, and they were no worse than those rewarded by the emperor.

Concubine Li was very reluctant when she brought the child here, "Although this child has only been with me for a few days, he is very close to me.

As she spoke, she squeezed the child's fleshy little hand and gently stroked the child's little cheek.

Du Bangchun took the child and said with a smile: "Concubine Li, if you like this child, you can often come to our palace, it just so happens that Mianmian and I dried a lot of dried fruits a few days ago, you can come to us to drink fruit tea." She

and Xiao Mianmian were idle and bored in the palace, and dried a lot of dried fruits in the courtyard on one side of the East Palace.

Concubine Li rarely walks around with other concubines in the palace on weekdays, and she has always been alone.

For Du Bangchun's invitation, he was overjoyed, his face was pink, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Crown Princess, as long as you don't dislike me, I will come every day."

Du Bangchun was very awkward about the title of the crown princess, got up and walked around with Xiao Zhouzhou, and replied with a soft look in his eyes: "Why don't the family dislike it, even if the mother lives in our palace." This

is a joke, but Concubine Li really wanted to live in Du Bangchun's palace for a moment.

In just a few months, Du Bangchun and his children planted flowers, grass and trees here, and even the wind was full of flowers.

Pushing open the temple door and entering the courtyard, it is like a paradise.

When Concubine Li was in Cheng'an County in the past, she longed for their Zhou family.

Now I am even more envious, the deep palace is obviously a cage, but it has been turned into a place outside the world by the shopkeeper Du.

When Concubine Li was in her trance, there was a sudden call in the distance.

"Bangchun, how do I prune this flower?" Du

Bangchun looked back, his clear eyes lit up slightly.

Zhou Ruiyuan was wearing a white plain robe, his hair was not tied, and his ink-like hair was sprinkled on the back like ink, as noble as usual, there was also a touch of laziness and idleness.

He held a plate of freshly pruned orchids in his hand, and carefully brought the flowers to Du Bangchun, "My craftsmanship is average, you will just look at it, and in a few days, I will also move the begonias in the backyard." After

he said that, he raised his eyes to look at Du Bangchun, and the tenderness in his eyes was indissolvable, which complemented the orchid in his hand.

This scene stunned Concubine Li, "Your Highness, who are you?"

Zhou Ruiyuan retracted his gaze and said in a calm tone: "Recently, the emperor has returned to the palace, and I naturally don't have to worry about the affairs of the court anymore, and I just happen to be able to accompany the lady at home to play with flowers and plants." He

said that he had nothing to do, but in fact he was busy with official business until late at night every day, but he did not delay him in pleasing his wife and children during the day.

Concubine Li couldn't help but be distracted, and her face was even more envious.

Ordinary people say that people's hearts are fickle, and the emperor also loved the queen like this at the beginning, and he became disgusted with each other after only a few years.

However, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Bangchun have been married for several years, and they have given birth to four children, but they are still the same.

There are no traces of time on them, and the two pairs of gentle and hot eyebrows and eyes seem to be newlyweds.

Concubine Li lowered her head slightly, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

In life, if you can find such a beloved, you will die without regrets.

Seeing that Concubine Li was suddenly depressed, Du Bangchun hugged Xiao Zhouzhou, approached her and asked, "Concubine Li, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Li

smiled, her nose was sour, and she said slowly: "I am very comforted to see your family so happy."

At this time, Xiao Zhouzhou suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Concubine Li's sleeve, as if to comfort her.

Du Bangchun's eyes showed a smile, and he said softly: "Niangniang, don't worry, in the future, you will be like us, and the family will be happy and healthy." "

Concubine Li entered the palace to be the emperor's favorite concubine in order to repay her kindness, and she no longer had the luxury of love.

But Du Bangchun's words made her life seem to have a glimmer of light, as if she could really live like she said, and she would be able to have such a life in the future.

Zhou Ruiyuan put the pot of orchids on the table, "If Concubine Li likes it, I'll let someone send two pots later."

Concubine Li got up and thanked, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince."

Du Bangchun looked carefully at the pot of orchids on the table, raised his eyes and asked Zhou Ruiyuan, "Xianggong, what about Mianmian?"

As soon as her words fell, she heard a crisp laugh from the courtyard.

They all went to the door and looked out.

I saw Xiao Mianmian standing on the swing under the banyan tree, swinging.

She wore a goose-yellow smoke gauze dress and swayed high on the swing, like a little fairy who had just arrived in the world under the blue sky.

At this time, the sun shone in, like a thin smoke sprinkled lightly on her body, refracting a colorful light.

"Daddy~Mother~Look, is it tall?" she

waved high, and called out to Du Bangchun and Zhou Ruiyuan with a smile, her eyes as clear as the water of the spring pool bent into a round of unsightly moons.

Du Bangchun looked at her smiling face and was full of emotion for a while.

Xiao Mianmian is now almost seven years old, and she will grow into a big girl in another ten years.

Concubine Li covered her mouth and smiled: "This kid, swinging so high, is not afraid of falling down." "
