Chapter 272

The fourth master walked all the way back to the front, sitting in the study with little bamboo fragrance, but his heart couldn't calm down.

It's not that he can't see the bitterness in Erfu's eyes, and it's not that he doesn't miss the little girl who has relied on him for many years, but he can't go to the little palace maid who helped him when he was at his worst.

The round apple face, the starry eyes as clear as a stream, and the two blush on her cheeks, all of this seemed to have been hidden in his heart all along.

Even if he thought he wouldn't remember, when she appeared in front of him, the memories flashed back in front of his eyes, and he couldn't bear to refuse her request.

That year, he was twelve or thirteen years old, his grandmother didn't love his uncle or uncle, and he didn't even respect him with the upbringing grandmother around him, except for the eldest grandmother who grew up with him since he was a child, that was the first time he felt the care of others.

Unlike the eldest grandmother, who cared for him, she didn't care about him because he was the prince, but just because he was him.

At that time, she was still a little palace maid who had just left her head, she had not been in the palace for a long time, and she couldn't even distinguish the most basic clothing patterns, a pink palace maid's clothes were loosely wrapped around her thin body, and her eyes looked at him who was full of exhaustion, and she took out a piece of sticky marzipan from her cuffs with a smile, and said in a milky voice: "Give, Mama saw that I learned the rules well, and specially rewarded me." ”

"It's dirty, take it away!" The little four children's shoes that were in the voice change period had a little obvious cleanliness habit, and they looked at the little palace maid's dirty little hands, and unabashedly showed a look of disgust. pushed the little palace maid who was smiling at him to the ground, and even stepped on the marzipan that was said to be the prize she performed well, and strode away.

The little palace maid looked disappointed and depressed. The tearful eyes and stubbornly pursed little mouth were like a sharp knife piercing the heart of the little four children's shoes.

Back at the elder brother's office, the little four children's shoes looked at the dirty muslin robe on his body, and then looked at the immature face that was bruised and swollen with his brothers, and hugged the eldest grandmother with some grievances.

He obviously wanted to be close to them, why would they dislike him so much. It was as if he were the sticky piece of marzipan that the little maid was holding in her hand.

The eldest grandmother's whispered comfort, to this day, the fourth master can't remember clearly.

But he remembered. He regretted his somewhat ridiculous behavior at night, that little palace maid seemed to be quite kind, and I don't know if I would hate him too!

In the blink of an eye, the little four children's shoes, who have never been good at arching horses, riding and shooting. Even Yinqi and Yinyou, who are one or two years younger than him, are inferior. Huang Ama expressed his disappointment and punished him for following his master Zama for two hours.

Two hours is four hours, and when the little four children's shoes completed the task, they only felt as if a pair of legs were not their own, so they threw off the little eunuchs who were waiting with him, supported their tired legs, and just wanted to find a place where no one was to lick his wounds.

The little four children's shoes were in a frustrated mood, and they actually walked to the front of a remote courtyard and peeked in through the somewhat dilapidated vermilion lacquered wooden door. A boxy two-entry courtyard, although not as gorgeous as in the Eniang Palace. But it is very clean and simple, which seems incompatible with the extravagant Forbidden City.

This discovery made the little four children ecstatic, and he had the idea of making this place his secret territory, and despite the fatigue of his body, he climbed up the not very high wall in a few clicks, and turned into the small courtyard where the portal was locked.

The pavilion in the northwest corner is in the shadows, although it is only a well pavilion, and it is all moss with slippery feet, but the little four children's shoes are not disgusted, they quickly fasten the hem of their robes, and sit on a seemingly abandoned wooden barrel with their arms and knees, silently shedding tears.

Since he left the harem and was moved to live in Elder Brother, Mama has often reminded him that he is a man, and that a man sheds blood, sweat and tears, and crying is a weak act.

But he really endured it very hard, he really wanted to cry like other brothers when he was wronged, and he wanted to lie in Eniang's fragrant arms and vomit bitter water, instead of pretending to be cold with a coffin face all day long.

The tears fell on the dusty wooden barrel, leaving an ugly trace, and his still very childish face also left two curved tear stains, worried that the little four children's shoes that would be seen as a joke wanted to wash his face with water, but found that he couldn't even control the simple wheel, and the water that came up was less than the bottom of a bucket.

Just when he felt that the whole world had abandoned him, the little palace maid who had been brutally treated by him, wearing a crumpled and dirty robe, came to the well pavilion with an empty copper basin.

"It's you, could it be that you have been punished by your master again?" The little palace maid was stunned when she saw him, and then showed a big smile, took out a small half basin of water by herself, and took out the embroidered handkerchief she carried with her and wiped the tears on his face with water.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the little palace maid didn't show an angry look, carefully wiped his hands and face for him, not only did not leave, but sat beside him like this, and told her about her somewhat unlucky experience of entering the palace.

She told him: Her name is Wu Bilian, her family is the coat of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she has a half-brother in addition to her. In order to make room for her brother to get married, and thinking that she could earn some money to help the family, she came to the palace to work.

However, the people in the palace treated her badly, and she was obviously very well-behaved to learn to comb her hair.

But she was suddenly sent to this place where grass does not grow to guard the yard, although there is no work, and she will not be convicted of the nobles, but she cannot get the reward from the master, so that she cannot buy muslin for the little nephew of the family to make small clothes.

The little four children's shoes looked at Wu Bilian, who was only a little older, thinking about the family like this, and she was so moved, but she pretended to be deep with a small face.

However, the little palace maid did not dislike him, but pulled him into the ear room next to him, and found a very broken food box from the mottled and carved pine kang cabinet and took it out.

The little four children's shoes looked at the little palace maid's action of turning the tattered as a treasure with disgust, and was about to teach a lesson. I saw that the little palace maid's white and tender little hands were holding a few pieces of marzipan wrapped in glutinous rice paper and sent them to his eyes.

"Here you go, this is what I saved before, it's not dirty!" said the little palace maid with a sweet smile on her face. The eyes were still clear and bright, so that the little four children's shoes were greatly moved to throw the candy that he didn't like to eat in his mouth, and at the same time did not forget to stuff one in the little palace maid's small mouth.

"You're so good to me!" said the little palace maid with marzipan in her mouth, a little vaguely.

Little Four Children's Shoes only thinks that this little girl is a little stupid, obviously it is her own thing, he just fed her easily, how can it be good!

But I have to admit it. This feeling is not bad! The little four children's shoes also like to see the innocent eyes of the little palace maid that are almost worshipping.

As the sky grew dark, the little palace maid retrieved her portion of dinner from the dining room of the elder brother's house, with only a simple bowl of coarse rice and a bowl of soup with cabbage leaves floating on it. There was not even a little oil star, but for such a simple meal, the little four children's shoes were very delicious, but the rice was a little strained. Makes him a little uncomfortable.

"The master you followed has treated you well. Look at you, you're white and tender, much more beautiful than those skinny little eunuchs!" the little palace maid washed the dishes and chopsticks, sat down beside him again, stuffed a piece of glutinous rice cake that was a little hard into his hand, and said with a smile.

Xiao Sitong didn't explain, he didn't want his identity to be a problem between the little palace maid and him, he liked the little palace maid's contact with him without a sense of distance.

After harvesting a small bun as a friend, Xiao Si Children's Shoes began to look forward to the time after school every day. When he had time, he went to the desolate courtyard where the little palace maid was, and from time to time he would bring a few pieces of snacks that he liked to eat. Have an afternoon tea with a small bun.

As he gets older, the time for the little four boys to be trained is getting less and less, and his cute little palace maid is slowly growing up, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that he is still stupid when he is an ordinary little eunuch.

On that day, the little four children's shoes knew from the grandmother that he could take in the palace maid.

The first figure that flashed in his mind was the little palace maid, but he didn't want her to do such an unbearable thing, after a few thoughts, the little four children's shoes dismissed the big palace maid that Eniang had prepared for him, and continued his little game with the little palace maid.

That day, the sky was very cloudy, and there was a drizzle like fog, and he took a pair of earrings he chose when he left the palace and came to the small courtyard that was still desolate, but he saw that the little palace maid was sitting under the porch at the door and crying, and he was a little panicked.

When the little palace maid saw him coming, she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, squeezed out an ugly smile, beckoned her to come into the room and sit down, and put the several snacks she had saved on the small kang table.

He felt that the little palace maid was very strange, and when asked, the little palace maid only said that she had been taught a lesson by her grandmother, and he didn't think much about it, and when he left, he hung the pair of silver coral stone earrings on the earlobes that she had pierced ears since she was a child, and looked at her little two heads with pink and white silk flowers, revealing a faint smile.

It was the first time he was small with her, but he didn't want to be the last time.

When he returned from the Emperor's southern tour, the desolate courtyard was still the same, but fine weeds grew in the bluestone paved courtyard, but the little palace maid disappeared without a trace.

He panicked and arranged for the little eunuch around him to go to the Internal Affairs Office to inquire, but there was no news about Wu Bilian, and even this person did not exist.

The little palace maid is gone, and he has no first friend!

With the Gege arranged by Eniang into the elder brother's office, with the Fujin entering the door, the little four children's shoes grew up, he understood that the women in the palace belonged to his Ama Aixinjue Luo Xuanye, and he didn't dare to look for a little palace maid.

Disappointed and helpless, he suppressed the existence of the little palace maid in his heart and forced himself to forget.

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The little four children's shoes grew up to become the fourth master, and there was an innocent and simple girl by his side, she had been by his side for many years, she was still as kind as she was at the beginning, he cherished her from the bottom of his heart, and even sometimes felt that she was the little palace maid who came to him again.

Just when he thought that his little palace maid would never appear again, the little palace maid appeared.

However, she is no longer a little palace maid, she is already a big palace maid in the dim sum room under the dining room of Ah Ge, she is actually standing beside his side Fujin Guerjia clan, she is still wearing a simple pink and white silk flower, she is still clear and innocent in her eyes.

Xu hadn't seen him for many years, she didn't recognize him, and he didn't bother her, he thought this was the result she wanted!

When the banquet was over, she slowly withdrew from the Jiaotai Hall with the Guerjia clan, but when he was about to leave with his brothers, he ran in a hurry, ignoring those strange eyes, and strode to the place where she had just stood, and the whole person was lying on the ground, as if nervously looking for something.

The ghost sent God, the fourth master used the excuse of going to the toilet, sent the brothers away, and returned to the Jiaotai Palace, and saw the little palace maid pick up a worn-out purse from under the table like a treasure, carefully dusted off the dust on it, and then held a pair of earrings that looked worthless in the palm of her hand and looked at it.

It was given to her by the little fourth child's shoes, the fourth master knew, and saw Wu Bilian's tears falling on the coral stone, leaving a crystal clear luster, and he couldn't help but walk in front of Wu Bilian.

"The slave has seen the four Belle Lords, and the four Belle lords are auspicious!" Wu Bilian put the purse into her sleeve like a thief, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to ask for peace.

"You don't know me?" the little fourth boy leaned over to help the little palace maid and asked in a low voice.

"Lord Sibeile, the slave knows it!" Wu Bilian blinked her eyes a little ignorantly and replied softly.

"I'm Sixi!" The little four children's shoes took Wu Bilian's trembling little hand, and walked quickly to the corner outside the Jiaotai Palace, looking at Wu Bilian's frightened expression like a thief, his heart melted, and he couldn't help but show a faint smile, and said softly.

Wu Bilian's frightened expression froze, she looked at the fourth master in front of her in a brocade dress in a daze, raised her hand in disbelief and touched the bearded chin of the fourth master, and said in a lost voice like a child: "You are not a eunuch!"

"I'm not!" the fourth master bowed slightly, hooked his lips and said.

"You are not Sixi, the slave's Sixi is a cute little eunuch, Lord Belle should not come to joke about the slave and maid, the slave and maid still have errands that have not been handed over properly, and the slave and maid will retire first!" A touch of sadness flashed in Wu Bilian's eyes, and she leaned over and walked out, as if she couldn't wait to cut off contact with him.

Although the fourth master has stopped looking for her all these years, but at this time, the thoughts and memories are overflowing, how can he let Wu Bilian leave, grabbed Wu Bilian's hand and began to tell all kinds of things in the past, and even told him that he had gone to the Internal Affairs Office to inquire about her whereabouts.

Wu Bilian shook her head with tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Even if you are Sixi, the slave and maid can't recognize you!"

That night, the fourth master did not leave the palace gate, but dragged Wu Bilian to the courtyard that had been desolate for more than ten years.

Only then did the fourth master know that Wu Bilian was transferred to the dining room by an inconspicuous grandmother of Elder Brother, and arranged a job that was not very popular, and completely disappeared in front of everyone, and he was busy studying in the study on weekdays, and followed the master to learn archery and horse riding.

He also knew that Wu Bilian had reached the age of leaving the palace, but her sister-in-law was greedy for the money she had given away for many years, so that she didn't even have the money to take care of things, but she refused the help given to her by the fourth master, and she might have to nest in the palace for the rest of her life.

The fourth master's first public and private use sent a message to the Internal Affairs Office, just to not hurt Wu Bilian's self-esteem. (To be continued......)
