Wei Mingxu said with a calm face: "I got it, not just for myself, not for happiness, that is my responsibility! It is a burden that I must shoulder, no one can do better than me, no one deserves it better than me." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed, and finally slowly closed her eyes: "It's okay, the mourning family only hopes that you won't regret it in the future." In fact, the mourning family itself regrets it and regrets marrying into the emperor's family. I regret being the queen mother, this 'lonely person'.

You are still young, you don't know the bitterness of these four words, and you don't know the loneliness above. When you are old and powerless, and you see that those children no longer listen to you one by one, and you can't help them or protect them, you will know the helplessness of the mourning family. The mourning family just feels sorry for you.

But the mourning family had no choice at the beginning, you are at least better than the mourning family, and there is still room for your own choice, so why bother to follow the old path of the mourning family?"

Wei Mingxu listened quietly, but wrinkled his eyebrows silently, the Empress Dowager didn't open her eyes, and didn't seem to care too much whether Wei Mingxu listened or not, as if she was silently reading: "There are thousands of roads in this world, why do you have to walk to this top of no one? Isn't it better to have someone to accompany you?"

Wei Mingxu looked at the Empress Dowager puzzled: "I wanted to go this way with her, but why, she gave up halfway and refused to follow me to the end?"

The Empress Dowager suddenly smiled and said, "Old Fourteen, this is a road that only one person can go to, since you have chosen this path, you can't blame her for not accompanying you." In the future, there will be more and more people around you, and everyone will accompany you on a journey, and you will not be lonely. But it's time to let go of those so-called sincerity. ”

Watching Wei Mingxu leave, Liu Xi brought a cup of warm ginseng soup to calm the Empress Dowager, who sat up slightly and took two sips of Liu Xi's hand.

Liu Xi sighed on the side: "The Empress Dowager still cherishes the Fourteenth Prince very much, and she is willing to teach him anything." ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head gently: "Breaking love and righteousness, the old fourteen can't learn, the mourning family's own son, the mourning family knows it in their hearts." He is a good boy who values love and righteousness, but now he is deceived for a while. When it comes to breaking off love, Wei Mingtai's son learns better from his father. Hey, after all, it was the mourning family who failed to teach this child well. ”

Liu Xi hurriedly comforted on the side: "Talent and temperament, the Empress Dowager can't teach it." ”

The Empress Dowager only silently took another sip of ginseng soup, and Fu couldn't help coughing again, pushing Liu Xi's hand away.

The weather is getting hotter, and ice is beginning to be used in Xijinzhai and the peony garden, but after all, the peony garden is dependent on the sun, which is hotter than Xijinzhai, so even if the wind wheel is installed, I still can't help sweating.

The ninth sister has always been an active person, and she is most afraid of heat, but she invited herself to move from Xijinzhai to the peony garden, saying that she wanted to accompany Lin Zhixuan and her younger brother.

After lunch, the ninth sister, who has never had the habit of taking a nap, had to accompany Lin Zhixuan to take a nap together, the mother and daughter were lying on the same small bed, and the ninth sister was not too hot to panic, but only hugged Lin Zhixuan tightly, hugged Lin Zhixuan's arm, and murmured: "Mother, did my mother quarrel with my father?"

Lin Zhixuan's body stiffened slightly, turned sideways, gently patted the ninth sister's back, and said, "No." ”

The ninth sister raised her head, and looked at Lin Zhixuan with big black pill-like eyes, so clean and clear that Lin Zhixuan almost couldn't dodge: "Then why doesn't my mother go back to Xijin Zhai to live?"

Lin Zhixuan took the ninth sister into her arms, didn't dare to look her eyes, just patted her back lightly and said: "My mother has never liked Xi Jinzhai, don't you know that the ninth sister?

The ninth sister only said sullenly: "But at the beginning, it was my father who lived with my mother." Why didn't my mother let my father accompany you this time?"

Lin Zhixuan was always choked by the innocent words of the ninth sister, she didn't know how to perfunctory this daughter who was too simple and too smart: "Your father, I've been a little busy lately." ”

The ninth sister's little head shook like a rattle: "In the past, my father was busy, and I would always accompany my mother." ”

Lin Zhixuan was stunned, but she didn't answer the words of the ninth sister, but suddenly asked thoughtfully: "When the ninth sister was a child, did she prefer her father or her mother?"

This question made the ninth sister listen to it in her ears, and she only felt numb, and hurriedly said: "I like it all, the ninth sister likes her father, and she likes her mother even more." ”

The ninth sister said, and her little hands unconsciously hugged Lin Zhixuan tighter.

Feeling the nervousness of the ninth sister, Lin Zhixuan hurriedly comforted her: "What's the matter?" My mother just felt a little bored and panicked, and planned to lead you and my brother out to play for a few days, doesn't the ninth sister like to go out to play the most? This time, my mother will lead you out to play, okay?"

"Not good. The ninth sister rejected Lin Zhixuan without thinking, "The ninth sister doesn't want to go anywhere, it's like staying at home, with her father and mother." ”

The ninth sister must have noticed something.

Lin Zhixuan saw the careful thinking of the ninth sister, since this is the case, there are some words that Lin Zhixuan also hopes to gradually say to the ninth sister: "Do the ninth sisters prefer to stay in the Jingwang Mansion and stay by their father's side?"

The ninth sister shook her head again: "The ninth sister wants to be with her father and mother, she can go anywhere, but don't be separated." ”

Lin Zhixuan's eyes were a little moist, snorting, and she didn't know how to talk to her daughter.

"Mother," the ninth sister looked up at Lin Zhixuan's wandering eyes, but the tears had already begun to fall, "Mother, Daddy did something wrong, didn't Daddy?

When I was a child, when I made mistakes, didn't my father and my mother say that knowing my mistakes can improve the great way? Didn't they all say that people who are not saints and sages can be without faults? The ninth sister also read books, and my father and mother have read a lot of books, and the books say that you can't never forgive you because you make a mistake once.

Isn't it good for the ninth sister to compensate her mother for her father? The ninth sister will be obedient in the future, she must listen to her mother's words, and she will never run around again. In the future, I must honor my mother and take care of my younger brother. Mother, don't want daddy, okay.

Daddy is the best daddy in the world, how can my mother not want him? Daddy is so sad, really sad. is as sad as the ninth sister, the ninth sister wants her mother, and the ninth sister doesn't want to leave her mother.

But the ninth sister didn't want to leave her father. How can my mother be willing to forgive my father? The ninth sister scolds my father for my mother and beats my father, so my mother and mother don't be angry, okay?"
