Mei'er slept until midnight before she woke up. She got up and put on her clothes. She entered the bathroom and combed her hair finely in front of the bronze mirror. Xiao Jin stood at the door at some point and looked at Mei'er and asked, "Are you awake?"

Mei'er turned around and said in surprise: "You didn't go to court?"

"The New Year will be tomorrow, and I will be exempted from court these two days."

Mei'er said "Oh" and turned around and continued to comb her hair.

Xiao Jin leaned over and asked, "I slept well last night?"

Mei'er smiled at him in the mirror and replied, "Okay."

Xiao Jin took the comb from her hand, leaned over and clumsyly helped her comb her hair, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth, "With me guarding outside, can you not sleep well?"

Mei'er glanced at him, and the beautiful hair on Longshang was fixed with a hairpin, and said slantedly to Xiao Jin: "I'm sorry, I'll go back to the Xixiaoyuan today, and I dare not bother you anymore."

Xiao Jin paused in his hand and put down the comb with a "click" sound, "Who said you were bothering me?"

Seeing that he was taken seriously, Mei'er turned around and held his cuff and coaxed him, "I don't mean that, this is your study, what does it look like if I live here?"

Xiao Jin turned anger and laughed, grabbed Mei'er and said, "I just asked them to clean up the western part of the King of Jin Palace and make some good furniture. You will move it here after the New Year."

The King of Jin Palace is Xiao Jin's bedroom, with two side halls. The east side hall is occupied by Xiao Jin's wet nurse Chen Ma, and the west side hall is for her... Isn't it a bit too ostentatious? She hasn't figured out how she and him will be in the future. Mei Er stumbled and said, "Is it not appropriate to live there? I'm actually used to living in the West Courtyard, where..."

"I'm not used to it, so the matter is settled." Before Mei'er finished speaking, Xiao Jin interrupted her, pulled her out of the inner room, and shouted, "Hurry up and have dinner, I've been waiting for you, I'm hungry."

The two were having a meal. Su Wan's maid came to the study. Huafan was the close maid next to Su Wan. She was the most decent among the slaves in the King of Jin's mansion. She could not come in directly without a maid's communication on daily basis. Huafan entered the study. When she saw Mei'er and Xiao Jin were eating at the same table, she was shocked. Xiao Jin and Mei'er would always retreat when they were together, so few people knew that they were so close.

When Xiao Jin saw that it was a painting fan, he was a little unhappy. Before the painting fan could open his mouth, he asked, "But the princess asked you to talk about going to pay homage to your mother today."

Painting Fan and saying yes.

Xiao Jin said expressionlessly: "Go back to the princess, I will go in a while."

The painting fan agreed to retreat.

Today is the day of worship for Xiao Jin's biological mother, Empress Chen. Empress Chen comes from a famous family and is a typical lady. She is also deeply in love with Emperor Yongxi. However, no matter how deep the affection is, it cannot resist the intrigue in the palace. Concubine Li cleverly used a plan to sow the relationship between the emperor and the empress. Empress Chen lived alone in the deep palace and finally suffered a strange disease and died of depression on the eve of New Year's Eve.

Xiao Jin's expression was normal, but Mei'er could feel the indelible pain in his heart. When Empress Chen passed away, he was only seven years old and was still a child who needed care. He suddenly lost his mother's protection in the turbulent harem. The trauma left in his young heart became fresh and time could not be erased.

Mei'er put a small bun in his bowl, patted his hands, "Eat."

Xiao Jin lowered his head and swallowed the Xiaolongbao into his mouth in one mouthful. His cheeks were stuffed with bulging, and a few drops of soup flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Mei'er used silk to help him wipe the soup off, poked his forehead and choked: "Fool!"

Xiao Jin stretched out his neck and swallowed the food in his mouth, grinned at Mei'er and made a face.

Su Wan had already ordered people to prepare carriages and horses and wait outside. Seeing Xiao Jin coming late, Su Wan's face showed anger. When Xiao Jin approached, she had already covered up her mood and still greeted Xiao Jin gently as usual.

Xiao Jin exchanged a few greetings with her and helped Su Wan get on the carriage. Then he followed him into the carriage with his long legs.

Su Wan was hit by Xiao Jin and secretly glanced at Xiao Jin with the corners of her eyes. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and his three-dimensional facial features, like a knife, exuded a hint of rebellious temperament. He just sat there unmovedly, and his body exuded a brilliant charm.

After watching it for so many years, she couldn't see enough of him.

Xiao Jin felt Su Wan's gaze, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with the princess? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He cared about her very much. Every time he saw her, he would ask her if she was feeling well, whether she was good or not. But, what if she was in good health? He still...

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Jin saw that Su Wan's expression was different from usual, and then asked.

Su Wan smiled indifferently, and the turbulence on her face was immediately covered up. "I am fine, but I miss my family more every holiday, and I miss my deceased parents more and more during the year."

Xiao Jin replied: "After the New Year, I will send someone to escort you back to your hometown. You will be considered filial piety when you go to your parents' grave to worship."

Su Wan's eyes suddenly appeared mist, and she looked at Xiao Jin and asked, "Can the prince go with me?"

Xiao Jin paused and replied, "If I have free time, I will accompany you."

Su Wan was overjoyed and leaned against Xiao Jin's shoulder and murmured: "Your Majesty treats me so well."

Xiao Jin stiffened and twisted his neck awkwardly.

The car swayed to the palace gate. Xiao Jin and Su Wan got out of the car. Queen Chen's tablet was placed in Changxi Palace. Along the long corridor, Xiao Jin and Su Wan walked side by side. Seeing the luxurious and luxurious ceremonial guards coming from a distance, Xiao Jin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Seeing the ceremonial guard approaching, he didn't stop until Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin stepped forward and bowed: "I have met Concubine Li."

Concubine Li wore a rouge red phoenix cannon. Although she was nearly forty years old, her beautiful face was still extremely beautiful. When she saw Xiao Jin, she showed a loving smile. "Today is the day of the First Queen's Day. I have just gone to pay tribute to the tribute. King Jin and Princess Jin are also here to pay tribute to the First Queen?"

Xiao Jin replied expressionlessly.

Concubine Li pulled out the golden veil and tried the corner of her eyes, "The first empress is a virtuous queen, but it is a perfect repentance of the New Year, which is a pity."

Xiao Jin bowed to Concubine Li and replied respectfully: "Teacher takes care of the phoenix body. It's getting late, so the Lone King will come and leave first."

Concubine Li nodded slightly, and the phoenix walked in a winding manner, gradually disappearing at the end of the corridor.

He had long been accustomed to these people and things that were right and wrong, and even in front of the person who killed his biological mother, he had developed the ability to not be happy and show his expression. After Concubine Li left, Xiao Jin still looked as usual and continued to go to Changxi Palace.

When he was young, he suddenly lost his mother. He felt so painful that he could not be himself. But the more he felt pain, the more people came and put the needle in his heart, and he wanted him to feel pain. Later, he gradually understood that only when he became stronger can he not feel pain. Only when he did not feel pain can he protect himself and his younger brothers can they grow up in this treacherous palace. After many years, he has grown up and his wings have become more and more abundant. The pain of losing his biological mother back then has formed a thick cocoon in his heart. Even if his enemy stabs him with a sharp knife, he will not feel pain.

Xiao Jin clenched his fists secretly, and only those who did not know the pain had the ability to let those who made him feel unhappy at the beginning taste the same.

Queen Chen liked to be quiet during her lifetime. After her death, Emperor Yongxi dismissed the palace servants of Changxi Palace according to her preferences, leaving only a few personal maids of Queen Chen during her lifetime here.

When Yu Ma, who was guarding the hall, saw Xiao Jin and Su Wan, silently led him into the sacrificial hall. Yu Ma, is Empress Chen's wet nurse, over 60 years old. Since Empress Chen's death, she has lost her speech because of her excessive sadness. She has only stayed at Empress Chen's tablet for many years.

Xiao Jin and Su Wan incense for Queen Chen. Su Wan mourned for a long time in front of Queen Chen's tablet. Xiao Jin helped Su Wan up and said, "You go and see Aunt Jing. I will stay with Queen Chen for a while."

Su Wan then turned around and left.

Xiao Jin was the only one left in the huge Changxi Palace. He bypassed his mother's confession and slowly paced inside the palace.

This palace was specially built by Emperor Yongxi for Empress Chen. Compared with the bedrooms of the empresses of all dynasties, although it is not the most luxurious place, it is said to be made completely according to Empress Chen's preferences. It can be seen that Emperor Yongxi also loved his mother very much, but it was a pity that "it has never been retained since ancient times, but only the routine has won the hearts of the people." It is as loving as his parents, but it is hard to compete with the conspiracy of the scheming woman in Liguo.

Xiao Jin unknowingly entered a secluded small house with small tables and chairs in it. This was the place where Xiao Jin played when he was young. The small tables, small chairs, and small bottles were still neatly arranged.

He couldn't help but remember her again.

At that time, he had just lost his mother and was frowning all day long. One day when he went to the study room, she pulled him all the way to come here and said she wanted to give him some delicious food.

It was snowing outside, so she got a small stove and lit charcoal fire. She, who has always been careless and unreliable, actually created an atmosphere of "a small red mud stove" for him.

While he was intoxicated, she brought a few pieces of fresh meat from somewhere, and put it on the fire and roasted it so fragrant that it was fragrant and oily.

He aroused his greed and looked at her and asked, "What kind of meat is this? It smells so good."

She pushed the roasted meat to him, "Don't worry about the meat, it's sure to be delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."

He took it and pulled off a piece without saying a word. It was so delicious.

The two hissed and ate, their stomachs filled with food. He forgot that he was unhappy and pulled her and asked, "What kind of meat is this? Why have I never eaten it before?"

She leaned over to him and said with a wicked smile: "This is the evil cat raised by Concubine Li. I caught it and was strangled to Xiao Liuzi to death."

"What? Concubine Li's cat?" He was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking.

The afternoon before, he took Achu to pay tribute to his father. When the evil cat saw them, he rushed up. Fortunately, he protected Achu in time and was not injured by the evil cat.

When he mentioned the big cat with green eyes and sharp claws, he still felt scared and his hands trembled unconsciously.

She grabbed his hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He pointed to the roasted cat meat and teased him with a smile, "Look, this guy wanted to hurt you yesterday, but today it will be our meal."

He was the prince of the Great Zhou royal family and the pride of heaven. He actually fell into a situation where even a cat was afraid of. When he was young, he felt extremely sad and hugged her and started crying.

She hugged him tightly and comforted him like a little adult: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm there."

Her body was so small, but it seemed to be his only support in his childhood. Her words "I am there?" gave him great courage to overcome countless storms.

She is his support and the only bright light in his heart in the dark years.
