Lu Zhishan said nothing, but lowered his head and kissed Mu Nanzhi's hair gently, while holding Mu Nanzhi tighter.
"So Long Live Lord is very close and important to me... a relative," Mu Nanzhi said slowly, clenching his hands into fists under the water, and lightly pinching his palms with his nails, "At least it used to be."
"When I first arrived in Dali, the person who was best to me was not the concubine or the queen mother, but my uncle," Mu Nanzhi continued, "I was just six years old at that time, and I was just a princess from a small barbarian country. , my mother was just a concubine of the late emperor, so no one looked down upon me. I lived in a small side hall of Jianfu Palace, with only Ji Xiang and an old Aunt Xiang beside me. , being bullied is inevitable, and patience is inevitable, but on my sixth birthday, my uncle suddenly came to Jianfu Palace to see me. "
"He brought me a lot of rare things, such as mille-feuille pastries, osmanthus cakes, damasks, silks, and white jade hostas. It was really dizzying for me to see. Not only that, he also ate with me. That was the first time in my life that I ate mutton hot pot..." Mu Nanzhi sniffed, her voice slightly hoarse, "How could there be something so delicious? It's so delicious, Grandma Xiang said again and again He reminded me to pay attention to my manners and never be rude in front of the emperor. I did pay attention to it at the beginning. My uncle didn't eat much and kept sitting across from me and looking at me. His eyes were very warm. That kind of warmth from an elder to a younger generation. I couldn't get what I got from my mother and Khan. Later, under the watchful eyes of my uncle, I ate two kilograms of mutton that day. Grandma Xiang and Ji Xiang's faces turned pale. They were afraid that my uncle would dislike me because of this. I felt very anxious later, but my uncle was not impatient at all. When he left, he specially asked the imperial kitchen to make pots for me at least twice a month. He also said that Princess Linglong and I were similar in age. , I will let Princess Linglong come and play with me in the future.”
When Lu Zhishan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart. He had never known why Princess Linglong and Mu Nazhi were familiar with each other. It was only today that he found out that the connection was with Lu Mingwei.
"Since then, my situation in the palace has been much better. The Queen Mother and the Queen have also taken care of me. They always want to reward me during the New Year. Even Princess Linglong always comes to play with me. I know With her arrogant temperament, she naturally despises me, but with my uncle here, she still has to come to me from time to time," Mu Nanzhi couldn't help laughing when he said this, while looking at Lu Zhishan, a little bit The son was proud, "Cousin, tell me, does uncle love me very much?"
Lu Zhishan looked at her wet eyes and said nothing. Instead, he hugged Mu Nanzhi into his arms again. He could no longer look into the child's eyes. He felt heartbroken.
"I always thought that my uncle loved me very much, until...until the 21st year of Jiasheng, Beidi changed." Mu Nanzhi leaned on Lu Zhishan's honey-colored chest, tears moistening the man's chest, "Uncle is unwilling to save me." He could obviously save his mother and Shan'er, but he did nothing. He knew that his mother had sacrificed so much for him and for Dali. He knew that his mother had been humiliated in Beidi and that Shan'er's life and death were unknown. , but he did nothing and instead reached a new agreement with the new Khan. "
