Chapter 193: The Pain of Losing a Son
When the first rays of sunshine rose in the dynasty, Ouyang Heyue had already freshened up and dressed, and she was going to see the Empress Dowager.
This old lady still seems to be thinking about Ouyang Heyue, and when she heard that she was back, she had already prepared for her to come to meet her.
Suddenly, the palace became quiet, as if it had been as quiet as before something big was going to happen.
It seems to be more like the darkness before the dawn, all of which are undercurrents, calm on the surface, but undercurrents in private.
"Queen Mother, I heard that Concubine Yue arrived last night. ”
Mama Chen, who was with the Empress Dowager, said.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes to recuperate, she didn't sleep very well last night, and she felt a little distressed when she thought of the concubine who was buried by her own man's own hands to bury the child's life.
After all, people are old, and many things have already been experienced, and she is very open to the affairs of the younger generation, and she is not so harsh.
She doesn't care about the affairs of the court, and she doesn't want to mix the affairs of the harem, but she can't ignore it.
"yes, I came pretty late yesterday. ”
She stretched her waist, and Mama Chen, who was waiting behind her, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, for fear that this old bone would stretch her muscles and bones and hurt herself.
"Oops, people are old and useless. ”
The Empress Dowager looked out of the door, expectant in her eyes.
She also heard a lot about Concubine Yue and King Rui, but every time she pretended not to know anything.
"The old slave always thinks that when she comes back this time, she will make some noise. ”
Mama Chen has experienced a lot of things with the Queen Mother, and she has seen too much about the power struggle of the concubines in the harem.
At the time of the Empress Dowager, she also participated in the battle of the harem.
"She's also a poor person, helpless. ”
The Empress Dowager didn't accuse anything, and stood up straight with a trembling body. "It's good if she'll come back, and see that my grandson is haggard. These two young people are really uncomfortable. ”
"Isn't she just a miscarriage, which woman in this harem has not been guilty, miscarriage is not uncommon in the struggle for power in the harem. She has a big temper, and she is angry with His Majesty. ”
Mama Chen is an old man who has been serving the Empress Dowager for decades, and sometimes she doesn't have to speak like other palace maids. Selective sentences.
She is also a grandmother who is very loyal to the Queen Mother. That's why I stayed by the Queen Mother's side for so long.
At this time, the Queen Mother shook her head, sighed and said, "They are all hard-working women." If she wasn't so in love with Nange. I'm afraid it won't be so sad, and it won't be so sad. ”
"That child is probably more precious to her than her life. If a woman truly loves a man, she wants to give birth to one for him. A child belonging to two people. She loves Nange so much, but their children believe other people's slander because of Nange. Destroyed with his own hands. Can she not despair?"
The Empress Dowager is also an emotional person, and her relationship with the former emperor is very deep, so for true love, for those who are dependent on power. She can see it more clearly.
"Your Majesty is not intentional, there were so many rumors about her in the palace at that time, even the old slave was suspicious. Does she have a leg with King Rui? ”
The Empress Dowager glanced at her with a little coquettishness, "You are always like this." It's just a beautiful concubine, right? ”
"The old slave is just telling the truth, if she hadn't been too close to King Rui at that time, His Majesty would have been so jealous and angry. ”
"Alas, even so, the loss of their first child is the most painful for women. ”
The Empress Dowager said with deep feelings.
At this time, a little palace maid came in and whispered, "Concubine Yue Niangniang asks to see." ”
A smile appeared on the face of the Empress Dowager, she had waited too long for this moment, it had been nearly a year, there were so many concubines in the palace, and only Concubine Yue, who had left the palace, had a place in her heart.
"Please let her in. ”
"Whoa!"
The little palace maid bent over and withdrew.
Ouyang Heyue didn't come back empty-handed from Nanjiang, and brought a lot of gifts, and the ones for the Empress Dowager were carefully selected by her.
Nanjiang's proximity to the trouble-stirring country of Dayouguo, in addition to being harassed during wartime, still has many advantages, that is, you can buy enough good gems from the Dayouguo, which produces gemstones, at a reasonable price.
This time, Ouyang Heyue brought back a sapphire to the Queen Mother, and this gem was a priceless treasure in Ouyang Heyue's eyes.
Since modern times, she has been fond of jade and precious stones, and her love for gems and jade is far beyond the comparison of gold and silver.
She was wearing a pink gauze skirt and light makeup, looking clean and noble, Mi Li'er followed her ass with gifts, and entered the queen mother's palace one after another.
When she saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the couch, there was a warm current in her heart, Ouyang Heyue's feelings for her grandmother were unusual.
In modern times, she was close to her grandmother, who didn't like her, and now it's the same, and she feels very kind when she sees an old man like the Queen Mother.
"The concubine asked the grandmother to say goodbye. ”
Ouyang Heyue stepped forward to be blessed, and saw that the Empress Dowager's face seemed to be a little pale, although she was well maintained and there were not many wrinkles on her face, but her complexion did not look very good.
"Get up. Come and show the mourning family, after being away for so long, your child seems to have lost weight. ”
The Empress Dowager looked at Ouyang Heyue lovingly, and the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were full of smiles and warmth.
Ouyang Heyue reached out and took the box containing the gems from Mi Li'er's hand, and walked in front of her, Mama Chen moved the case machine on the couch with great discernment, and the vacant space was just enough for Ouyang Heyue to sit down.
The Empress Dowager motioned for Ouyang Heyue to sit down beside her, and Ouyang Heyue did not shirk and sat in front of her old man.
For a while, the Empress Dowager hated her very much, she was worried about being scolded, but she didn't expect to face such a scene, which made her a little unaccustomed, and she smiled in her heart, "This is like filming." ”
"Grandma, this is a little bit of a heart to be a junior, it is a sapphire produced in the Great You Country, I heard that it is in the Great You Country, such gems are rare. ”
Ouyang Heyue opened the gem box, and a shining sapphire stood out, the crystal clear individual, the polished polygon, making the gem look even more dazzling.
After seeing the Empress Dowager and Mama Chen, who had been beside her with a cold face, their eyes widened in surprise, although the Imperial Southern Kingdom was rich in products and received a lot of tribute from surrounding countries every year, but it was the first time they had seen a sapphire like this.
"Such a big sapphire. ”
The Empress Dowager's eyes seemed to be brighter than ever, and the smile on the corner of her mouth hooked up a little wrinkle, "You have a heart." (To be continued.) )
