When the death of the late emperor's country was lifted, the New Year was about to be celebrated.

The people are full of joy, like the winter rain that has been wet for three months, finally seeing the warm sun, and the people go out to buy New Year’s goods.

In the palace, Emperor Xuanhe will not hold a palace banquet this year in order to commemorate the late emperor. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the ministers ordered their wives to come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

When he entered the palace to pay his respects to his daughter, Liu waited for many years. When her son-in-law was still a prince, she dared not think about it. When her son-in-law became the prince, she dared to think about it, but she waited for it for too long.

Early that morning, Liu got up before dawn. He changed into the fourth-rank imperial imperial robes that he could wear, and asked the maid to carefully draw her eyebrows and dress up, and then he raised her spirits. After half an hour, Liu was satisfied. He went to meet with his son and daughter-in-law in front, and then took the three children from the family to the palace together.

Zhao Yanping still rode a horse, while Ajiao and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were on a carriage with their three children.

Every Chinese New Year, he is one year older. Meng Zhao is fourteen. The young man in Zhilan and Yushu is quiet and restrained, but his demeanor is calm and gentle, as if he just likes quietness and does not keep people from thousands of miles away.

Chu Jin also became an eleven-year-old girl. She might have a little temper at home. She was very sensible when she went out and did not pick up the curtains without permission to look out.

Zhao Fang, who was only four years old, was curious about the palace he had never been to before. He always wanted to poke his head out and saw if he had seen it. He didn't want to sit steadily on the chair for a moment.

Gillian threatened her son: "I'll tell your father again."

Zhao Fang was about to leave the chair and sat down again, glanced at the curtains, and listened to the sound of horse hooves outside, his father's cold and stern face had already appeared in his mind. In this family, what Zhao Fang feared the most was his father.

The little boy finally became honest.

Zhao Yanping was riding a horse and he naturally heard the sound inside. Compared with the boss who had always been sensible, Zhao Yanping had both a headache for the younger ones and a heartache. He could see that the boss was sensible because the child knew that he was not born by his adoptive father and mother. Just like when Gillian was at his uncle's house, she was a concubine by his side for two years because she was afraid of being abandoned, so she never dared to make mistakes.

Zhao Yanping suddenly knocked on the window.

Chu Jin sat here and opened the curtains when he heard the sound.

Zhao Yan glanced at Zhao Fang and his stern eyes fell directly on Meng Zhao's face: "Brother is like a father, why don't you care about your naughty brother? I've always worried about it?"

This is the first time Meng Zhao has ever remembered that his father scolded him.

The young man's face turned red.

Jiao was so distressed that she was about to protect her son in front of her husband, but Zhao Yanping didn't give her a chance to speak, so she scolded Zhao Fang again: "If you don't abide by the rules, you won't have to go out in the future. You will just think about your mistakes at home and stay at home."

After saying that, Zhao Yanping put down the curtain and sat in a straight position to look forward.

Chen Jing, who was driving the car, secretly glanced back and saw a smile on the corner of the official's mouth.

Chen Jing immediately retracted his neck.

In the car, Zhao Fang hung his head. Because his brother was scolded with him, the two brothers were connected with each other. Zhao Fang looked at his brother, wanting to see if his brother was as scared of his father as he did.

Meng Zhao was also a little scared, but when he saw his younger brother's clear eyes and saw such obvious fear in those eyes, an indescribable warm current suddenly surged in Meng Zhao's heart.

The younger brother is naughty, and his father often teaches his younger brother a lesson. He looks at him from the side, thinking that his father is too strict and envious. If the father teaches him so well one day, it means that his father really treats him as his own son, rather than just praise and affirmation. Unexpectedly, today his father scolds him and says that his elder brother is like his father, and asks him to discipline his younger brother.

After a brief fear, Meng Zhao smiled and touched his brother's head. He whispered: "If you want to listen to your mother in the future, don't make her angry anymore."

Zhao Fang blinked his eyes, looked at his mother who was staring at him, and nodded obediently.

The imperial city has arrived.

The family got off the carriage and, under the guidance of the palace servants, went directly to the imperial concubine's Changchun Palace.

Liu thought that the name of "Changchun" was very good. It was like spring all year round, just like flowers in the garden, and it was always blooming brightly.

When they arrived at Changchun Palace, the Zhao family discovered that Emperor Xuanhe was also there. The emperor and the imperial concubine sat on the main chair, one left and one right. The Duan family of four, the fourth master and the princess were with their parents, and they were happily together.

Mrs. Liu finally saw her daughter clearly.

Last time I was so close, my daughter was only twenty-five years old, and she was still as beautiful as a teenage girl. She had been flowing like flowing water for twelve years. Now my daughter is also a mother-in-law and grandmother.

Liu held back her tears and knelt down to pay tribute to the emperor and the imperial concubine.

When Zhao Xiangyun saw his mother at a palace banquet, she smiled as if she had no thoughts. Even if there was only one family at this time, Zhao Xiangyun could tolerate it under normal circumstances because Emperor Xuanhe was there. However, when he got closer, he could see the white hair on his head, wrinkles on his face, and rouge so clearly that he could not hide his haggardness. As soon as Zhao Xiangyun's eyelashes drooped, his two lines of coldness fell down.

Emperor Xuanhe accompanied her to see that his family wanted to express his importance to her and the Zhao family. When he saw her crying, he was still damning, and he sighed and found an excuse to leave first.

As soon as he left, Zhao Xiangyun rushed over and helped his mother up, lay on Liu's shoulder and cried in tears.

The palace people had already retreated. Gillian and Xue Ning helped the mother and daughter to the inner hall, and then retreated, allowing the mother and daughter to reminisce about the past alone. Reunion is not difficult for ordinary families. Even the married daughter can go back to her parents' home during festivals and festivals. Only women who marry into the palace may never be able to return to their parents' home for the rest of their lives.

Zhao Yanping, Ajiao and others were sitting outside, and they could hear the intermittent crying sounds from inside.

Gillian, Xue Ning, Chu Jin, and Princess Yongjia all had red eyes and wiped their tears from time to time.

Zhao Yanping, Duan Wang, Fourth Master Xiao Chi, and Meng Zhao didn't know what to say, but Zhao Fang and the little princess in Duan Wang's family looked at each other.

The little princess was born in April last year and can't leave yet. She sat in the arms of Dad Duan, observing everyone in a daze.

Zhao Fang soon lost interest in the little princess and asked his father: "Dad, why did my mother cry?"

Zhao Yanping ignored his son.

Meng Zhao shook his head at his younger brother and signaled him not to ask.

King Duan ordered his younger brother Xiao Chi and his younger sister Princess Yongjia: "My cousin is rare to enter the palace, so you can take them to the garden to have a walk."

The younger generation went out, and even the little princess in the palace was carried by the wet nurse.

The children left, and Duan Wang looked at his uncle. He had known about his grandmother's illness, but his uncle did not allow him to tell his mother that he did not want to worry about his mother, but his grandmother has been so haggard in the past two years. Today, he is afraid that he can't hide his mother's eyes.

Zhao Yanping lowered his eyes and did not say a word. The best way to hide it is to prevent his mother from entering the palace, but his mother and sister have been waiting for this day for so long. Even if his mother doesn't come, her sister will guess that something happened to her mother.

I don’t know how long it took, Zhao Xiangyun left her mother in the inner hall. She came out alone and asked her brother directly: “Brother, what disease does my mother have?”

Zhao Yanping pursed his lips.

Zhao Xiangyun looked at him and said, "If you don't say it, I'll pass it on to the imperial physician."

Zhao Yanping had no choice but to say truthfully: "Two years ago, my mother was ill and asked a doctor in Beijing to treat it. She said that there was a liver problem. My mother's medicine has not been interrupted in the past two years, and she would also ask a famous doctor to take her pulse every two months. The famous doctor said that if my mother had a good resting place, she could live for another five or six years, otherwise..."

Zhao Xiangyun burst into tears: "Otherwise, what?"

Zhao Yanping looked out the window and said with red eyes: "Otherwise, one or two years will be a problem."

Zhao Xiangyun's figure flashed. One or two years have passed. How long does it take for her mother to stay?

The brother didn't dare to look at her, so Zhao Xiangyun went to see her sister-in-law.

Gillian thought of the famous doctor's words before the New Year, lowered her head and cried, but did not notice her eyes. Zhao Xiangyun was about to walk over, Xiao Lian walked over with a heavy expression, holding his mother and saying, "Mom, grandmother has a knot in her heart, and she can't untie it, and she may not be able to survive this year."

Whether it is a Beijing doctor or an imperial physician in the palace, he has invited him to treat his grandmother, but the imperial physicians cannot cure his grandmother's increasingly serious illness. They can only find ways to relieve his grandmother's pain and make people live a more comfortable life.

Zhao Xiangyun didn't believe it, she didn't believe that she had been waiting for so long for reunion, and only hoped for the bad news that her mother was seriously ill.

She pushed her son away, ordered the palace servants to go and pass on the imperial physician, and then went to the inner hall again.

The outer hall was silent.

The imperial physician was here, the one who was best at treating liver disease in the Imperial Hospital, and the one who was invited by King Duan to leave the palace to treat Liu. When he saw Liu, the imperial physician had guessed the situation here. At the request and hope of the imperial concubine, the imperial physician asked Liu carefully about the situation as if he had been diagnosed for the first time, and finally knelt on the ground and spoke his prediction in a deep voice.

Liu can live for at most one year, and if he gets infected with other diseases, it will be difficult for even one year.

"It's okay, my mother is fifty-eight, she's considered a long life. I can see that you three brothers and sisters have children and can carry grandchildren to their grandchildren. I'll be content in this life."

Holding his daughter who was crying, Liu said with a smile while crying.

Zhao Xiangyun couldn't laugh.

In addition to her children, her parents are her closest relatives in the world. Her father died early and her mother was separated from her for almost twenty years. After recognizing each other, she was separated from her. Now she has finally become a concubine and is qualified to summon her mother to the palace to talk. Why does God want her to get this disease and refuse to give her several years to honor her mother?

When Emperor Xuanhe heard that the imperial concubine had been spreading the imperial physician, he hurried over.

Gillian and Xue Ning tried to separate the mother and daughter, and Liu also wanted to push her away. Zhao Xiangyun hugged her and refused to let go. Even the emperor's husband could not remind her of those rules and etiquette.

She didn't want her mother to leave, and she didn't want this side to be the last side.

Emperor Xuanhe had only experienced the pain of losing his father. He and his father had been together day and night, but his concubine did not have that opportunity.

On that day, Emperor Xuanhe issued an edict saying that the concubine's mother was seriously ill and was ill. When the concubine was young, she failed to be filial to her mother. Now she was allowed to return to the Zhao family to support her mother for 19 months to be fully filial.

No concubine has ever given such a gift in all dynasties, but even if she has it, I am afraid that no concubine will treat going home to honor her parents, separate from the emperor's husband for a year and a half, and lose favor for a year and a half.

From the selfish thoughts of the imperial concubine, she wanted to accompany her mother to walk the last part of the road, and the emperor gave her, which was a great gift.

But those who were dissatisfied with the imperial concubine were happy to see her leave the palace, and then hoped that Emperor Xuanhe would favor new beauties during these nineteen months.

Therefore, there was no dissatisfaction with the imperial concubine. The ministers of the Zhao family instructed censors from the same sect to oppose Emperor Xuanhe's edict. One or two of them believed that this move was not in line with the royal etiquette and law. The censors also said that although they could not find the previous example, they could not find the second one who had been separated from their parents since childhood, and they were the 19-year-old miserable concubines.

In this way, Zhao Xiangyun returned to the Zhao family with plain faces in the name of the imperial concubine.

She did not live in the Zhao family for 19 months, because in June of that year, Liu died of many illnesses and laughed with a smile in the company of her children and grandchildren.
