Chapter 153 Three Years of Longing
When Wen Zhiyan's fingertips touched Wen Li'er's soft hair, his throat choked slightly.
He suppressed his surging emotions and said gently, "Li'er has grown taller."
This was a very ordinary sentence, but it made Wen Li'er cry even louder.
She grabbed her brother's sleeve tightly and shook it like she did when she was a child.
"Brother, you're lying! I haven't grown at all!"
Seeing this, Liang Yuhe's tears, which had been about to be controlled, began to burst out again.
She reached out to touch Wen Li'er's face: "Let me take a good look..."
When her fingertips touched the dark shadow under Wen Li'er's eye, her heart ached suddenly: "Li'er has lost weight, why is the dark shadow under her eye so serious?"
Wen Li'er stretched out her hands, pinched the flesh on her cheeks and pulled them to the sides.
"Mother, look at my flesh, I haven't lost weight. When I knew you were going to enter the palace, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, so I got the dark circles under my eyes."
"Child, you will see it sooner or later, why are you in such a hurry?" Liang Yuhe looked at her with pity.
"But my daughter can't wait!"
Three years of longing, even a moment longer is unbearable.
Wen Li'er buried her head in her mother's shoulder affectionately, acting as coquettishly as she did before she got married.
The autumn sun shines brightly in the courtyard, and the sweet fragrance of golden osmanthus floats in the wind.
Seeing this touching scene, several young palace maids hid behind the pillars and secretly wiped away their tears.
Nanny Qin also turned her back and wiped the corners of her eyes, then quietly waved everyone away, leaving only Qingmei and Qingzhu to serve outside the hall.
Wen Tingkuan took a deep breath and tried to suppress his trembling voice.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Li'er is now a royal concubine, and you're still crying like a little kid in your mother's arms. It's really ridiculous."
"My daughter doesn't care!"
Wen Li'er said shamelessly: "In front of my parents, a daughter is always a child."
Finally the whole family laughed.
The golden osmanthus flowers swirled in the air and scattered around the feet of the hugging family, adding a touch of brilliant color to this warm scene.
Nanny Qin came over and reminded, "Your Majesty, tea and snacks are already prepared in the palace."
Wen Li'er finally came to her senses and walked inside holding her mother's arm.
"Dad, Mom, and Brother, come with me inside to eat some cakes. After that, I'll take you around. The Bixi Palace where my daughter lives now is really big."
Wen Tingkuan and his companions looked around and found that the courtyard alone was surprisingly large.
The three of them were secretly shocked. They had never seen the palace where the concubines lived.
Although I knew that the palace where the imperial concubine lived would not be small, I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
Walking all the way to the main hall, the road is paved with white marble slabs, dotted with pebbles on both sides, and then there are staggered flower beds.
The pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings are all breathtakingly beautiful.
As they passed a vineyard, Wen Li'er shook Liang Yuhe's arm and said, "Mother, the grapes are ripe. It's just in time for you to come. Then teach your daughter how to make wine."
Liang Yuhe was puzzled.
"You are already a royal concubine, and you still want to make your own wine?"
Wen Li'er blushed a little and explained, "My daughter brews it for the emperor. Last year and this year, I brewed locust flower wine for the emperor, and the emperor liked it very much."
Liang Yuhe looked at the shyness on her daughter's face, feeling both happy and worried.
Judging from the fact that his daughter's position has risen so quickly, the emperor must like Li'er.
In addition, seeing the Imperial Concubine's Courtyard with my own eyes further confirmed what I had in mind.
What worries me is that I don’t know how long my daughter’s love for me can last.
As the ancients said, the most ruthless family is the imperial family.
The pears are now in their prime and have a very beautiful color.
If in a few years, Li'er grows old and loses her beauty, and more and more young women enter the palace, will the emperor still favor Li'er?
Liang Yuhe sighed in her heart and secretly scolded herself for thinking such depressing things.
Let’s talk about the future in the future.
At least, my daughter is living a good life now.
"I'll write down the wine-making method for you later. My wine-making skills have improved a lot. Your father and brother both say it tastes better than the ones you buy outside."
Wen Li'er nodded repeatedly.
When they reached the entrance of the main hall, they saw He waiting there with Xiaoxiao, who had just woken up and was looking for his mother.
As soon as Liang Yuhe saw her grandson, she excitedly went forward to hug him.
After respectfully performing the ceremony and handing Xiaoxiao to Liang Yuhe, He quietly stepped aside.
Xiaoxiao was not shy at all. When Liang Yuhe held him, he immediately opened his little mouth and showed his signature smile.
This made Liang Yuhe very excited. Wen Tingkuan and Wen Zhiyan were also very happy when they saw the child's appearance.
Wen Tingkuan chuckled and said, "These eyes are exactly like Li'er's, and her personality is the same as Li'er's when she was a child, always smiling."
Wen Li'er then taught Xiaoxiao how to speak.
"Xiaoxiao, this is my grandmother, grandfather, and uncle."
Xiaoxiao waved his arms and made a "ya ya" sound.
Here, several people from the Wen family took turns holding Xiaoxiao and making him happy.
Liang Yuhe took out the longevity lock prepared for the child and put it on Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao pulled it with his little hands curiously, not knowing what it was.
This is the imperial study.
Yan Shixu was reviewing memorials.
After looking at the sky outside, he turned and asked Yongtai.
"Minister Wen has brought his family into the palace by now, right?"
Yongtai nodded: "They have already entered the palace. The Queen Mother sent someone to take them to the Bixi Palace."
Yan Shixu hummed, put down the imperial pen and was about to walk out.
But when he reached the door, he stopped again.
If he went there, the Wen family would probably be reserved.
Then this reunion that is so hard to come by will probably not be so joyful.
Thinking of this, Yan Shixu turned back to the dragon table.
Yongtai was secretly shocked.
This Concubine Wen is truly extraordinary. He needs to be more respectful to her in the future.
At this moment, a palace maid came to report that General Luo and Su Shaoyin were coming to see the emperor.
Su Shaoyin is Su Muyang.
After Yan Shixu ascended the throne, he arranged such a position for Su Muyang.
After Su Muyang took office, he was exhausted every day and was always thinking about how to resign from his official position and continue to be the third young master of the Su family.
But once you get on the pirate ship, you can't get off.
As soon as two figures, one in black and one in white, entered the imperial study, Su Muyang in white asked, "Your Majesty, when can I resign?"
Yan Shixu: "...Don't even think about it."
Su Muyang: “…”
Wen Li'er is here.
After letting her family have some cakes in the main hall, she held Xiaoxiao and took her family for a stroll in the Bixi Palace.
Xiaoxiao is almost seven months old now. He is round and chubby, and Wen Lier can't hold him for too long.
So, Wen Zhiyan and Wen Tingkuan took turns holding him almost the entire time.
Liang Yuhe wanted to hug him, but the two grown men were afraid of tiring her.
In addition, Liang Yuhe was completely stunned by the luxury of the Tourmaline Palace.
Every brick and tile exudes wealth and is dazzling.
As she watched, she almost burst into tears again.
"Your grandmother, uncles, and aunts will be relieved to know that you are living well in the palace."
When Wen Li'er was a child, she looked like a Fuwa and had a likable personality. None of the elders in her maternal family disliked her.
She will never be left behind by the younger generation of the Liang family having anything.
Wen Li'er thought of her grandmother, uncles, aunts, and cousins, and missed them very much.
Unfortunately, they are not in the capital.
Otherwise, when her parents and brother came to the palace this time, she would have shamelessly begged His Majesty to allow her grandmother and others to come with her.
As I thought about it, my nose started to feel sore again.
"Dad, Mom, I've written letters to my grandmother, uncle, and aunt, and I've also prepared some silver, jewelry, cloth, and other things for them. You can take them back later."
Liang Yuhe did not refuse. The child had grown up and was filial to his maternal grandparents. There was no reason for her to refuse.
Wen Li'er added, "There's no rush. I've asked the imperial chef to prepare a meal. Dad, Mom, and brother can have their meal before leaving."
It would be better if today could go slowly. I don’t know when we will meet again.
