Spring is quiet and the night is far away.

In the forbidden palace of the imperial capital, the lanterns are lit for the first time.

In a corner of the cold palace, there is a candle.

The three little ones from Jingyang Palace who had just had dinner were lighting up lamps and gathered around the table, sitting opposite each other with serious expressions and a solemn atmosphere.

There is a chessboard on the table, with black and white intertwined on the chessboard, vertical and horizontal, obviously the battle has reached a fever pitch.

"Snapped!"

As the child fell, Yu'er's shoulders dropped weakly, and her face was full of disbelief.

"Ah, five stars in a row, Ah Xuan wins again!"

Princess Ankang looked at the chessboard and clapped her hands happily.

Li Xuan tugged at the corner of his mouth disdainfully, revealing one side of his canine teeth, showing no mercy.

"Axuan has won three games in a row, it's really amazing!"

"Sister Yu'er, don't be discouraged. You are only one move away from me. If you persist for a while, you will end up in a draw."

Princess Ankang looked at the chessboard that was almost full, and her words of comfort pierced her heart like knives.

Yu'er couldn't help but feel even more hopeless.

"Forget it if you can't beat His Highness, you can't even beat A Xuan, let's stop playing!"

Yu'er felt that she had been hit mentally. She couldn't beat a cat in backgammon.

Jingyang Palace was prosperous today, so they had a good meal in the evening, including a tray of steamed buns and three plates of pickles for the first time.

The steamed buns made from fine white flour are large, round, white and soft.

Savoring the sweet and soft texture, the three of them filled their stomachs unconsciously.

Originally, Princess Ankang had already rested at this time, but she was too full to sleep, so they played backgammon together.

Backgammon has long been popular in this world and is very suitable for young children who cannot play Go yet.

When Concubine Xiao was still alive, she taught them and often played with them.

Princess Ankang's sex was much better than that of Yu'er, almost to the point of crushing her.

Just for fun, she used Ah Xuan's cat paw to push the chess pieces. After a few pieces were played, Ah Xuan started playing by himself.

In the first game, Yu'er didn't realize that her opponent had unknowingly been replaced by Ah Xuan.

But after she lost, when Princess Ankang told her that it was A Xuan who played chess, she didn't believe it at all and only thought that Princess Ankang was joking.

This led to the second and third games.

Now that she is fine, Yu'er believes that Ah Xuan has defeated her, but her mentality has also collapsed.

"How could it be possible? How could it be possible?..."

Yu'er asked herself over and over again, but there was no answer except being more confused.

"Am I worse than a human cat?"

"Is Ah Xuan the real genius?"

Yu'er looked at Li Xuan in surprise and saw the cat raising its head proudly, looking very arrogant.

"Humph, what are you so proud of!"

Yu'er thought angrily.

Just as the three of them were playing backgammon, there was another knock on the door outside Jingyang Palace, causing their laughter to stop abruptly.

"Why is someone here again?"

The three little ones had the same question.

Jingyang Palace seems to be particularly lively today, with visitors coming one after another.

It’s just that it’s a little late now, who could it be?

There may be clear rules in the palace that you are not allowed to walk around at night, otherwise you will be severely punished if discovered by the imperial guards.

Generally speaking, the lower the grade, the less likely you are to violate this rule.

Therefore, those who wander around the palace at night are either noble people or people who are not afraid of death.

Although there is still some time before the curfew ends, it is only less than half an hour.

At this time, most people will be ready to take a rest and will not go out casually.

After all, the scope of the palace is not small. If you can't go back in time, you will be in trouble.

"Your Highness, I'm going to see who it is."

Yu'er greeted and prepared to open the door.

Princess Ankang nodded and said nothing more.

Although they are in the cold palace, they are still in the palace after all, and there is basically no danger.

Li Xuan also meowed, jumped out of Princess Ankang's arms, and followed Yu'er's back.

He was frightened by Manager Shang during the day, so he had to see who it was to feel at ease.

"Axuan, why are you joining in the fun?"

Princess Ankang gave a helpless cry and could only watch him disappear.

Li Xuan came to the door in one step, then leaned on the wall of the courtyard to secretly look at the person knocking on the door.

The person who knocked on the door was a little eunuch dressed in white, with a black bun on his head, and a fair face. He looked about the same age as Yu'er.

"Why is he here!?"

After Li Xuan saw the person clearly, he couldn't help being surprised.

He knew this little eunuch, but he was not his "enlightenment teacher".

"Isn't this the little eunuch from the Imperial Palace?"

Li Xuan hid in the dark, not daring to show his head, and planned to wait and see what happened.

To say that today is really a strange day, Jingyang Palace has welcomed strange guests one after another.

After a while, the door of Jingyang Palace opened and Yu'er walked out.

She held a lantern in her hand, shining it at the person who knocked on the door, and asked: "I don't know who it is..."

But midway through the words, Yu'er froze on the spot, even holding her breath.

The lantern stopped next to the little eunuch's face, and its yellowish light illuminated the slightly childish face.

A gentle smile appeared on the little eunuch's face.

"Be first, is that you? Be first!"

Yu'er threw the lanterns on the ground and excitedly stepped forward to stroke the little eunuch's face.

It's like looking at it is not enough, you need to feel it clearly before you dare to recognize it.

"Yu'er knows this little eunuch!?"

Li Xuan, who was observing secretly, couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect such a fate.

"What's the relationship between them?"

Yu'er seemed to have determined the identity of the visitor and hugged him tightly excitedly.

"Why are you here, why are you here..."

Yu'er's tone changed from surprise to joy at the beginning, and now slowly changed to pain and struggle.

The little eunuch kept smiling from beginning to end, but his eyes gradually turned red.

He hugged Yu'er with his backhand and finally called out: "Sister, it's me."

"First, first..."

Yu'er burst into tears and couldn't even speak.

Li Xuan, who was eavesdropping on the side, was shocked. This little eunuch turned out to be Yu'er's younger brother.

"Why, why do you also enter the palace?"

Yu'er looked at her brother's white clothes and couldn't help but feel sad.

This proves that their family has become extinct.

Then why was she sold to the palace?

"First of all, why did you enter the palace? Where are my father and mother?"

Yu'er hurriedly wiped away her tears and asked her most curious question.

The Deng family had only two children at that time, one was Yu'er, and the other was Deng Weixian in front of her.

However, life was difficult at that time and the family could not afford to raise two children, so they sold Yu'er, who was two years older.

Yu'er was also lucky and had a rough journey, but was eventually sold into the palace by accident.

At that time, she had an innocent background, was pleasing to the eye but not too dazzling, and had a well-behaved and sensible personality so she was selected into the palace.

Others are not as lucky as Yu'er.

Some died on the way, some were sold to brothels and brothels, and some were sold to remote villages to be used as child brides.

It's just that Yu'er didn't expect that after enduring so many hardships, she finally adapted to the palace and forgot about her original home, but her biological brother suddenly appeared in front of her.

The younger brother is the root of the Deng family. Doesn't his appearance here prove that the Deng family...

"Sister, my parents are gone."

"Now in this world, you are the only relative I have."

Deng Weixian's words were shocking, and Yu'er was also stunned on the spot.

She thought she had no feelings for her original family anymore, but when she suddenly heard the bad news, her heart still couldn't help but collapse.

Thanks to book friend Zhiyi for the reward.

Boom, boom, boom!
