Niu Niu stood in the courtyard, her head lowered, her eyes swollen like blisters, looking at the proud eldest prince: "Humph, you lied to me, I don't care, my mother is a coward, I won't follow you to the capital."

Niu Niu stood in the yard, her head lowered, her red and swollen eyes like two blisters, full of grievance and anger. Her eyes fell on the eldest prince in front of her, and his proud smile was particularly dazzling in her eyes.

"Humph, you lied to me!" Niu Niu's voice carried a stubborn determination, "I don't care, my mother is a coward, I won't follow you to the capital."

The eldest prince frowned, his expression changing from pride to impatience, then to anger. He looked at Niu Niu and felt a complicated emotion in his heart. This thin little girl seemed to catch him off guard with her persistence and persistence.

Su Ling stepped forward and gently held Niu Niu's trembling arm. There was a hidden tenderness in his tone: "Niu Niu, stop crying. Do you still remember those days when we were in the palace? There. Gardens, splendid palaces, and the time we spent playing together. At that time, we were just like brothers and sisters, with no barriers or constraints. Why have we become estranged now?"

There was a deep longing in Su Ling's eyes, as if she was looking for those long gone days in her memories.

He shook his head gently, as if trying to get rid of these thoughts: "I really miss you at that time, the innocent, happy and carefree you. Can you, can you go back to that way? "

When the queen saw Niuniu crying, she ordered someone to prepare a set of beautiful clothes and some delicious maltose.

Generally, children of this age like candies and new clothes. Come to think of it, this Niuniu will definitely be tempted too!

A soft smile appeared on the corner of the Queen's mouth. She clapped her hands gently, and immediately several maids came in holding a large tray. On the tray, there was a set of exquisite embroidered clothes and several packages of attractively colored maltose.

Niu Niu's crying stopped suddenly. She raised her head, with crystal tears still hanging on her cheeks, but her eyes were staring straight at the gorgeous clothes and maltose. It was a kind of innocence and curiosity unique to children. Her heart was full of doubts and curiosity, not knowing where these beautiful things came from.

The queen said gently: "Niuniu, these are new clothes and candies for you, do you like them?"

Niuniu's eyes widened and she was speechless for a moment. She had never seen such beautiful clothes or tasted such sweet candy. In her heart, the world seemed to become more beautiful because of this moment.

Niuniu sat down on the ground, the maltose in her hand exuding an alluring aroma.

While enjoying the delicious food, she twirled her tongue and little fingers, as if savoring the sweet taste.

After eating the candy, her eyes were attracted by the beautiful dress again.

It was a pink dress, the skirt fluttering gently in the breeze, like a blooming flower.

Niu Niu's eyes widened with desire.

She stood up slowly, approached the dress, and gently touched the soft fabric, her heart filled with joy.

She imagined herself putting on this dress and becoming that radiant little girl, and her heart was filled with anticipation.

The queen came to Niu Niu in a golden dress, touched her forehead and said, "Follow your mother back to the palace. What kind of life do you want?"

Niu Niu's eyes flickered slightly, and she raised her head to look at the Queen. Her golden dress was as dazzling as the sun under the light of the palace lantern. She gently held her empress's hand, feeling the delicate touch, as if touching the temperature of power.

"Empress," Niu Niu whispered, "I don't want a luxurious life. I just hope to have a warm home and be accompanied by relatives." A trace of surprise flashed in the queen's eyes. She did not expect this little The palace maid would have such a wish. She gently patted Niu Niu's head and raised a smile on her lips, "The Queen Mother will definitely help you realize your wish."

"But, can you take my mother with you?"

Su Ling was so angry with Niu Niu: "You damn girl, who is your mother?"

Niu Niu's eyes were moist and her voice was trembling: "My mother has taken care of me for so many years, and now she is helpless. I really can't worry. Mr. Su, I know you don't like her, but for my sake, Can you take my mother and leave with you?"

Su Ling looked at the stubborn girl in front of him and was speechless for a moment.

He sighed helplessly and turned to look out the window.

The sunshine outside the window shone on Niu Niu's face, reflecting her crystal tears. He was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Niuniu, I can understand your mood. But taking your mother with you is not something I can decide."

He turned around and looked into Niu Niu's eyes: "Where is your mother now? We can go talk to her first."

When Liang Shuyan learned that the emperor and the empress were leaving with Niu Niu, she felt really uncomfortable. The real reluctance was to let go. The key was that she, a mother, couldn't cope with this heart-wrenching helplessness!

The queen sent someone to call Liang Shuyan over for questioning.

Liang Shuyan stood in the shadow of the palace, her hands clenched into fists, and her eyes flashed with stubbornness. She knew in her heart that the emperor and the queen were about to take Niu Niu away, and she would be left behind again. This feeling is like being abandoned by the world.

"Liang Shuyan!" The queen's voice echoed in the empty palace, carrying unquestionable majesty.

Liang Shuyan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the queen's palace. Her eyes fell on the queen's gorgeous phoenix robe, which was the glory she had always dreamed of. But now, the phoenix robe seemed like a huge mockery, making her feel deeply helpless.

"The civilian woman is here." She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"If Niuniu doesn't go back now, who will bear the responsibility? Do I need your permission to take my own child back?"

"A civilian woman doesn't dare to take the responsibility." She lowered her head and her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying to suppress the fear in her heart. "It's just that Niu Niu is living a good life now. She has enough food, warm clothes, and has learned a lot of skills." The civilian woman is afraid that if she goes back, she will never live like this again."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a silence in the palace. Only the wind could be heard blowing gently and the leaves rustling.

"Are you questioning my nurturing grace?" The Queen spoke slowly, with a subtle tremor in her voice, "Do you think that you, a country woman, can give to Niu Niu, but I can't? "

Her heart trembled, and she didn't dare to look up at the queen's expression. She knew that what she just said was undoubtedly challenging the Queen's authority. She was filled with regret, but it was irreversible.
