As the saying goes, once you enter the palace, it is like a deep sea, which means that the interpersonal relationships in the palace are complex and intrigue. As soon as you enter, you will be lost in the vast ocean of struggle.

But it can also be understood literally. The palace is as deep as the sea. The black tiles, red brick walls, and blue slabs and stones have turned the palace into a maze.[]

No matter what explanation is, Ximen Daguanren has a small understanding.

First, he had a scheming with his father-in-law, but after being "pushed out" by him, he was very obediently wandering around, but as he turned around... he got lost.

The Forbidden City is not the Forbidden City that has become a scenic spot. It is full of flowers, plants, trees, pavilions, corridors, small bridges and flowing waters, rockery and waterfalls... It has a bit of artificial atmosphere, a bit of natural primitiveness, a bit of lazy and gorgeous, and a bit of freshness and elegance.

Therefore, Ximen Daguanren, who thought he had been to the Forbidden City many times in his previous life and had a relatively good understanding of its terrain, was suddenly found that he was lost after lingering and being surprised by almost completely different scenery.

Originally, he had a mouth open under his nose and could ask someone to ask, but at this time the setting sun had already shone and the sky gradually darkened. He looked around and saw no one.

Thinking that Zhu Youjian might have sent someone to find him, this guy can only run around in the hope of meeting someone.

Unexpectedly, it became more and more desolate as it walked, with sparse flowers, plants and trees, and the surrounding buildings were also dilapidated, obviously for years of disrepair.

He was about to return, but he was extremely powerful and could hear a crying and talking sound from a seemingly gloomy bedroom not far away.

At this time, it was completely dark, but Ximending's eyes were also good. I could tell that there was a plaque on the archway of the bedroom, with three words written on it mottledly: Qixiang Palace.

Uh? There are still people living in such a dilapidated palace? What if it’s okay, just have someone.

"...Mom, stop crying...Woo woo..."

"Xia'er, mom... Mom didn't cry, mom just wanted to... miss your brother..."

"My brother has been around for half a year... Mom, Xu'er knows that it must be the Queen who bullies you again..."

"Xia'er, don't talk nonsense-" Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have been covered with his mouth suddenly, "The Queen and Mother are like sisters, how could she bully her mother? Xu'er, you must not say such words again in the future, otherwise... Mother will be angry..."

"Mom, Xu'er knows...Mom, why are you crying again?"

"Mom didn't cry... By the way...Yu'er, I haven't asked you yet, what did Mr. Liu teach you in class today? Are you good at class..."

"Wuwu..." When asked, Wuer suddenly burst into tears.

"Xia'er, what's wrong? Did anyone bully you?"

"Mom... is it the father... he... he doesn't want us anymore... wuwu..."

"Nonsense! Didn't you see your father today? He even glanced at you... Your father is very busy recently..."

"Wuwu... Then why don't we live in our original place and move here? Cihuan said...we were driven out by our father..."

“…”

"Wuwu... Mom, is that true? Are we driven out by our father?"

"Of course not! It was brought out by my mother by myself. Mom... Mom likes quietness, Chengqian Palace is too noisy... Here is quiet..."

"Mom, it's broken here, and there's no one, so there's no place where you used to live..."

"Xia'er, how did you teach you on weekdays? Have you forgotten?"

After hearing the mother's tone interrupted sternly, Xu'er said timidly: "Xia'er...Xia'er has not forgotten... My mother said that only by suffering can one be the best. You must not be greedy for peace and enjoyment... But... But...Xia'er is so afraid of sleeping alone at night..."

"What's so scary about a man? My mother is asleep next to you... Didn't you say you should protect your mother when you grow up? You are so timid and have any future when you grow up? Do you still have to take care of you for your mother for the rest of your life?"

"Mom-Don't cry...Xia'er knows that she's wrong..."

"Okay, mom won't cry anymore. Mom will know that my treacherous one is the most obedient and sensible one. In the future, I will definitely be like a man like your father..."

At this moment, the door of the bedroom was pushed open with a squeak, and the silence around it sounded particularly harsh.

"Who?" Xu'er's mother asked in surprise, and then she saw a man walking into the dark door, a young man who had never seen before. Although he had a harmless smile on his face, there was a sword hanging under his waist. Who is this? How dare the emperor's harem rush around with swords? Is it... an assassin? She quickly reached out and hugged Xu'er, who was staring at the young man with wide eyes, and asked, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Qixiang Palace?"

Of course, this was Ximen Grand Official. He heard the conversation between the mother and son who seemed to have been sent to the cold palace. While sympathizing with them, he also admired them very much. He couldn't bear to disturb the mother and son, but there was no way. In Qixiang Palace, there was not even one palace maid and eunuch who served him, so he had to find the master directly.

When he pushed the door and found that the bedroom was even more simple, there was a long table with peeling red paint and two chairs in front of the hall facing the gate, which seemed empty.

At this time, under a swaying red candle on the table, there were two plates of side dishes and two bowls of rice, and most of them were eaten.

I thought that as the mother and son were eating, the mother didn't know what she thought of, and she was sad and interrupted her meal.

The mother and son were dressed very simply, and the mother's dress was even patched on the long sleeves.

But even so, it does not affect the mother's peerless beauty at all.

She looks like she is almost thirty years old, but her skin is not covered with any makeup, but her skin is white and red, and her pretty face is elegant, with a slender waist in her grasp, with a dignity and firmness in her dignity, but cute and indescribable charm.

The young man looked about seven or eight years old, with a small figure and a little too white face, which looked very similar to his mother's face. Because of his thinness, he looked angular and sensual.

At this time, he still had tears on his face, leaning against his mother's arms, but he stared at Ximending, which seemed to be covered with golden light.

After Ximending had a match with Liu Ruru, she had never talked to her once. She didn't know much about her family members. She only knew a little based on her two-life memory. Moreover, it seemed that she had traveled over by herself, and some people and some things had changed.

Now, he could not guess any other information about the mother and son except for guessing that it was the out of favored concubine and his other brother-in-law.

However, this did not affect his question.

Since he was disturbed, he seemed to have scared him. Ximen Daren stood in front of the door very consciously and did not step in. He quickly bowed and said, "My lady, don't panic, I... I am a spy in the inner lieutenant in front of the emperor, cough cough... The emperor held a banquet tonight to call me over. Yesterday... I just entered the palace today and was not familiar with the palace. I got lost as I walked and got stuck here by mistake. Thinking that the emperor was still waiting for me, I saw someone here, so I had to come and ask for directions. If you take the liberty, please don't blame me." The father-in-law was really willing to let me go. Such a delicate beauty actually broke into the cold palace, wasting food and wasting natural resources.

"Da Nei...Spy? The Emperor holds a banquet...summons you?"

"The Empress's Breaking Trick, that's exactly what it means."

"Then... where will the emperor hold a banquet to call you?"

"Uh...I don't know. In the afternoon, I was always with the emperor. In the evening, he asked me to walk around Duan Ben Palace and said that I would send someone to find me... Ahem, I didn't expect that this time I would turn to the Empress."
