In the morning, whenever the first ray of sunshine shines on the yard, I have already gotten up and headed to the market. I like this feeling, the fresh air, the bustling crowd, and the vague smell of Chinese medicine.

In a corner of the yard, I carefully tended a small vegetable garden. I caressed the soil and felt its texture. Every time I loosened the soil and watered it, I felt awe and closeness to nature. These days of being isolated from the world make me feel extremely comfortable and satisfied.

I know he will definitely come in the next few days. So, I lived peacefully in this small courtyard and enjoyed everything here.

Mrs. Jiang next door is a kind old man. Every time she sees me, she greets me with a smile. She would always give me some vegetables she grew by herself, but she never asked about my past. Her kindness and kindness warmed my heart.

Mother Jiang’s granddaughter Qingqing is a lively and cute five-year-old girl. Every time she sees me, she will happily run over and play with me. I would buy her some preserves, tell her stories, and read to her. Looking at her innocent smile, my heart became softer.

Qingqing's parents are both herb collectors and often go out to collect herbs. There are only Qingqing and Jiang's mother at home. Because of this, I felt comfortable dealing with them. In just a few days, I gradually became familiar with them.

"Aunt Jingjing, are you back?"Qingqing ran over, her little face was all pink. That innocent smile, like the breeze in early summer, gently blew through my heart.

I squatted down, hugged her tenderly, and raised the corners of my mouth:"Qingqing, what's wrong? Out of breath from running? She came closer to me and whispered:"Auntie, I saw a man standing at the door of your house." Do you want to hide first?

I smiled softly:"It's okay, Qingqing." He is my family."I took out a candy man from the bag and handed it to her,"Here you are, this is a small gift from your aunt. She took the candy man, and a bright smile immediately broke out on her face:"Thank you, Aunt Jingjing!""

I secretly admired this little clever guy who really knows how to protect others. Mother Jiang may have misunderstood me as a young lady who ran away from home, so she asked Qingqing to guard me, which made me feel relieved. I held

Qingqing's little hand, After turning a corner, I saw the man in green clothes standing tall as a pine tree from a distance. After hearing the footsteps, he slowly raised his head, his deep eyes seeming to see through everything. He walked over with a smile. Like the spring breeze blowing on my face:"I’ll get it."He took the bag in my hand, lifted it gently, and walked beside me.

I opened the door. Qingqing looked at me, then at him, with the corners of her mouth raised:"Aunt Jingjing, I'm leaving first."I looked at Qingqing's bouncing back, and felt a warmth in my heart.

We walked into the house, and Zhao Jihuan asked me to sit on a chair and rest. He busily prepared tea for me, cleaned the room, and washed fresh clothes. Plums and peaches were placed on the table one by one. He wiped his hands, walked up to me, stretched out his arms and looked straight at me.

I immediately understood what he meant, stood up and gave him an affectionate kiss. Hug. He hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear:"I miss you so much!"

I patted his back gently and asked,"Why did you come so suddenly?" How did you get out of the palace? He let go of me, looked into my eyes, and asked curiously:"Why are you laughing?""

I couldn't help but laugh out loud:"I suddenly felt like we were having an affair, it felt so exciting! Hahaha!"

Zhao Jihuan also smiled and looked at me fondly:"You!"

I pulled him to sit down and asked seriously:"Is there something I don't know about when I leave the palace this time, as I thought?

A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he replied seriously:"Why do you ask that?" Did you find anything?"

I took a deep breath, stared into his eyes, and whispered:"I'm pregnant."

A smile like a spring flower immediately bloomed on his face, and his joy was beyond words. He held my arms excitedly, his eyes flashed with excitement, and asked eagerly:"Are you sure? How old is the child?"

Seeing him so happy, I knew that he was indeed unaware. I was a little confused, so I asked:"Do the king and queen already know?

He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said,"Is it the night at the Hot Spring Palace?" Haven't you been here in Kuishui?"

I nodded silently and was about to speak, but he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and quickly counted the time:"The child should be almost two months old. why didn't you tell me before......"

Then his face suddenly changed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he asked:"Don't you want this child? That's why you want to leave the palace?"

I looked at him seriously and said softly:"I never wanted this child. Child, you know."

He raised his eyes, looked at me deeply, and then hugged me tenderly:"But since the child is already here, why not? Are you still thinking about it now?......"

I let out a long sigh and said helplessly:"The matter has reached this point, I have no choice. This month is no longer possible. Don't you understand? The time for me to leave the palace is also considered good."

He also sighed deeply. In a tone of voice, I asked helplessly:"Then what do you want to do now?"

I sighed feebly:"That's why I asked you to come over. I really don't know what to do. What on earth do the father and the queen think? ? Do they know about this?"

He gently stroked my hair and said softly:"Don't think about anything now, just take good care of the baby, and leave the rest to me."

I was still a little worried and asked,"How do you deal with it? Tell me first, what do they want?"

He gently combed the ends of my hair and said,"They just want children."

I pushed angrily. He opened it and said dissatisfiedly:"The child is mine when he is born. I will not give it to anyone."

He quickly handed me a plum and said gently:"Eat some fruit quickly, don't be angry." Look. I ate the plums and he smiled softly and said:"I just want you to give birth to the child. I have no intention of taking the child away."

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt angry and said angrily:"Father The king and the queen mother's wishful thinking are so good. Now that there is no crown princess, you must choose another concubine. Those beauties will gradually impress you, so that you will have more children and grandchildren! Huh! How about this? , the child belongs to me! I want to raise it myself! The three-year agreement is broken!"

He still looked at me tenderly and said in a calm tone:"The child is yours, no one can take it away. I am yours too, too. No one can take it away."

Hearing what he said, I felt a little better, but I still frowned:"What should I do now?"

He hugged me tenderly:"You can wait for delivery wherever you like, or go wherever you want. Where to go!"

I said gloomily:"But I am still being watched by you, and I feel very uncomfortable. And are you sure there is still a way to fulfill the three-year agreement? I am afraid that the Queen Mother already knows everything. He was silent for a moment and said firmly:"There is no way to remove the secret guards for the time being, but you have to believe me!"

I also fell silent, sighed softly, and said,"Let's go, I'll follow you!"
