The death of my mother's concubine was a great blow to me.

The emperor elder brother saw that I was suffering, and he thought about my brother's feelings. Therefore, he didn't blame me for exposing my identity. Just let me go back to Kyoto to attend my mother's funeral.

The Emperor himself stayed in Xihe pass.

I have no time to deal with what happened between my brother and Gu nanshang at xiheguan. My mind is all on the funeral ceremony of my mother's concubine.

I go back to Yuqin palace day and night.

Under the control of the housekeeper, mourning instrument was in order. After several days of driving and sadness, I was exhausted and fainted directly on the mourning hall.

I vaguely remember that I was carried back to Fangfei Pavilion.

Fangfei Pavilion, where I live, is next to Hongmei garden where my mother lived. When I was young, in order to take better care of me, my mother dug out an arch on the wall between the two courtyards.

I fainted for two days. Between these two days, I kept dreaming.

Sometimes I dream of my mother's concern for me when she is dying. Sometimes I dream that she is angry with me. She blames me for not coming back in time. Occasionally, she dreams of Gu nanshang

When I woke up, it was time for my mother to be in mourning.

The housekeeper sent for me.

The mother is the princess of the Su family in Xiling, who is qualified to be buried in the imperial mausoleum; As the son of Yuqin palace and the son of my mother's imperial concubine, I need to carry her coffin to the imperial mausoleum.

After I sent my mother's coffin to the imperial mausoleum and settled it, I sat in front of her mausoleum for a long time, and my mind kept flashing the kindness she had treated me. For this gentle, kind-hearted, loving gentle woman, my heart is full of guilt;

It's cloudy.

Soon it began to rain, like my mood at this time.

Suddenly, the drizzle overhead was blocked, and a clear female voice came to my ear: "brother Moyan, it's raining. Let's go back."

I turned my head.

The little girl in front of me.

I remember her. She is song hanruo, the youngest daughter of the general's family. Because the general is the younger brother of his mother's wife's family, song hanruo and I are cousins.

She was only six when I left home ten years ago.

Since then, she has often followed me and chased me for sugar.

My cousin squatted beside me, holding an umbrella to protect me from the rain, "brother Muyan, the dead are gone, the living are like this. You've just come back to Xiling. You're not used to Xiling's climate. Don't get hurt by the rain. Let's go back."

People are like this.

We all know the truth of persuasion;

When things come to their own head, there are very few people who can handle them rationally.

In the face of Han ruo's cousin's persuasion, I had to smile bitterly and say "I'm OK" to her, then I got up and went home.

I went to Hongmei garden where my mother lived.

In the red plum garden in July, the red plum trees are lush and green. His mother and concubine loved plum blossom, so his father built a courtyard in Prince Yu's mansion, full of red plum.

And now the red plum garden, plum tree is still, but has disappeared.

Hongmeiyuan was the same as when I left home, only under the corridor there was a row of Gardenia with excellent growth and faint fragrance.

I stare at the gardenia, a little distracted.

Hanruo's cousin was behind me. She explained in a euphemistic voice: "brother Muyan, aunt, she is looking forward to your coming back day by day. When she is dying, she does not forget to call your name. I heard niansi say that these flowers are planted for you by aunt."

I take a breath.

Endure heartache, low voice asks a way: "grow for me?"

In my memory, my mother only loves plum blossom.

But I don't like Gardenia very much.

"The big aunt said, brother Muyan, you like gardenia. Plant some flowers that my brother likes in the red plum garden. When my brother comes back and sees them, he can be in a better mood."

"The big aunt also said that brother Muyan is a particular person. She specially told the maidservants in the house that everything in Fangfei garden was arranged according to the layout when you left home. Ten years are like a day. Every day, there are special people to clean it. Brother, you can live when you come back at any time."

If it's contained, my eyes will be moist all of a sudden.

Looking at the blossoming, small white, fragrant gardenia, my tears burst into my eyes again;

I failed my mother.

I'm sorry for her.

I shouldn't have been away from Beiming for a long time, so that my mother could not let me go when she was dying.

I squatted in front of Gardenia in hongmeiyuan and cried.

If you look at the wrong form, hastily hold back the people behind you, so as to avoid more people to see my embarrassed appearance.

I don't want them to see me cry;

But I can't help it.

Finally, Han Ruo Wansheng said to me, "brother Muyan, please do not be sad. Although the eldest aunt died of serious illness, she knew that time was running out. She once told me that life and death are changeable. Everyone will come to this stage. Brother, you don't have to feel sad for her death. "

"The eldest aunt also said that although she regretted that she could not see her brother before she left, her only wish was that her brother would return to Yuqin palace, inherit the title of the Lord and marry a loved one for a safe and happy life. Brother Moyan, the eldest aunt, she is looking at you in the sky. She will not be happy to see you so miserable. For the sake of the eldest aunt, Brother, you must take good care of your health, and be patient with your grief. "

After my mother's funeral, I fell ill.

The doctor prescribed the medicine, and it took him several days to recover.

When my father saw that I was healthy, he began to pack and fast in the temple.

According to our custom in Xiling, because of the death of his mother's concubine, my father needs to go to the temple to fast for one year to spend time for her. Before he leaves, he gives Prince Yu's house to me.

He said: "Yan'er, although you have been away from home for many years, you are still the son of my Yuqin palace. This palace will be handed over to you in the future. Now my father goes to the temple to fast, and the affairs in the palace will be taken care of by you. In addition, your mother's regret is that she didn't see you marry and have children. She likes hanruo very much. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll leave my cousin at home to chat with you and let her tell you some interesting things about Kyoto. "

I understand the hint in father's words;

I'm over twenty-six years old, but I haven't married the imperial concubine. Now my mother's funeral ceremony has been held.

My life is undoubtedly the most important thing in charge of the Royal genealogy. My father's meaning is to remind me that my mother's wife likes her cousin. She hopes that I can marry her to be her son's wife, and that I can seize the opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with my cousin.

"I understand."

I repeatedly answer a voice, see off father king, temporarily in charge of Yu Pro Prince Mansion.

Han ruo's cousin would occasionally come to Prince Yu's house to talk with me accompanied by his aunt. Although my cousin is only sixteen years old, she is a very sensible girl.

My mother's eyes have always been very accurate. My cousin is really the best choice for the imperial concubine.
