Chapter 1156: Strange (2)
Ah Chun's fairy tales made everyone feel delicate.
Oh, yes!
Even if the three sisters and brothers trespassed into the dormitory, it was not a fault. They have done similar things in the past. Xiao Xu never minded.
This time, why is Xiao Xu's attitude so different?
Gillian and Ayi had doubts in their hearts, but they didn't say anything, and still maintained the posture of "bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes and pleading".
Xiao Xu finally opened his mouth again, and his voice was slightly softened: "You are worried about my body, what is wrong, there is no need to admit your mistake." ”
The tone is still a little cold and hard, not as intimate and easy-going as usual.
Still, it's much better than before.
Gillian Ah Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said together: "Thank you, father." Then he looked up.
Xiao Xu's eyes were weak, his whole body was weak, and he had no interest in speaking. However, the three sisters and brothers are always very lively together, and there is no time for you to stop saying a word.
Xiao Xu simply closed his mouth and only listened quietly, his eyes passing over the faces of the three sisters and brothers from time to time. Looking at Ah Chun's gaze, it was obviously more.
Gillian was a little pantothenic, and said half-jokingly: "Ah Chun has the best appearance, and she is also born most like the queen mother." No wonder my father likes Ah Chun the most!"
Xiao Xu: "......"
Xiao Xu's expression was a little stiff.
The empathetic Ah Yi immediately relieved his father: "My father treats the four of us sisters and brothers equally. ”
Four siblings?
Xiao Xu's expression was a little strange.
Ah Chun came over with a smile and whispered, "Does my father want to be a junior? After the three of us left school, we came directly to the Funing Palace, so we didn't bring the junior." If the father wants to see Xiao Si, Ah Chun will bring him over. ”
Xiao Xu was silent for a moment before saying, "No need." When I get better, I'll see him again. ”
It's me again!
My father has never called himself like this in private. Today, such a self-proclaimed person is always a bit alienated from above.
Gillian and Ah Yi muttered in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces.
……
At this moment, the little noble son came to report again: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here." ”
Xiao Xu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Xiao Guizi was not very suitable for Xiao Xu's style of "cherishing words like gold", but he didn't dare to talk too much, and soon withdrew. After a while, the figure of the Empress Dowager Min appeared in the dormitory.
The three sisters and brothers immediately caught up with each other and called out to the imperial grandmother affectionately one by one.
Empress Dowager Min's love for her grandchildren is undoubted, and she shouted happily.
Xiao Xu was lying on the bed, and from his point of view, he couldn't see the face of the Empress Dowager Min. I only heard the loving and kind voice of the Empress Dowager Min.
Xiao Xu adjusted his facial expression slightly, so as not to look too stiff.
Soon, the beloved Empress Dowager Min appeared on the side of the bed, and sighed distressedly: "Ah Xu, you have to take good care of your body, you can't toss and suffer like this anymore." If you break down your body, what should you do? ”
Empress Dowager Min, who is in her forties, is pampered all the year round, enjoys pure blessings, and her skin is white and tender like a woman in her thirties. Except for a few wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, there are almost no signs of age.
Xiao Xu has always been filial, and when he heard the words, he said in a low voice: "What the queen mother said is that her son has written it down." ”
His expression was no longer stiff, and his tone was greatly softened.
Empress Dowager Min didn't feel strange at all, and smiled happily: "No matter what, it's always a good thing that you can wake up earlier." What about Wan Ning, why isn't she here?"
Hearing Gu Wanning's name, Xiao Xu's expression froze, and he quickly returned to normal, and said softly: "She has been quite tired for the past two days, so she went to rest." The son couldn't bear to wake her up. ”
Empress Dowager Min immediately said: "Let her sleep in peace, don't wake her up." ”
Turning his head, he instructed the three sisters and brothers: "Your father's illness has not healed, and he still needs to recuperate." The three of you are arguing here, going to eat and rest, and in the afternoon you have to go to the study to attend classes. I'll stay here with your father. ”
The three sisters and brothers obediently accepted the order and retreated.
……
The dormitory suddenly fell silent.
Empress Dowager Min sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Xiao Xu's forehead.
Xiao Xu reflexively avoided it.
Empress Dowager Min: "......"
Xiao Xu: "......"
There was a moment of awkwardness in the atmosphere.
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Min has always been broad-hearted, and she withdrew her hand with a smile, and said something at the same time: "I am your mother, what is there to be embarrassed to touch your forehead." Is it impossible to put up a shelf in front of me? ”
Although Xiao Xu is the Son of Heaven, he is also the Son of Man. In this world, only Empress Dowager Min is qualified to count him like this.
Xiao Xu didn't say anything, and let Empress Dowager Min chatter.
"Ah, it's good if you're awake. Daqin can't miss you, and we can't do anything less than you. These days, I can't eat or sleep well, and I'm always worried about your body. Wanning has been sleepless day and night, and has been by your side. ”
"I came three times in a row, but I was stopped by Wanning. She won't let me see you because she's afraid I'll become ill. So he deliberately hid it from me and coaxed me back to Cining Palace with good words. ”
"I'm not a fool, how can I not see Wanning's intentions. I really can't bear her to worry about me anymore, so I don't know what to do. As soon as you fall ill, everyone inside and outside the palace relies on her to support you, and it is really hard to ......"
Xiao Xu was still silent.
Empress Dowager Min chattered for a moment, and then said: "I only hope that your illness will be cured as soon as possible, so that I can completely let go of this heart." ”
Empress Dowager Min looked loving.
Xiao Xu responded dryly: "Let the queen mother worry, it's the son's or not." ”
Empress Dowager Min laughed: "As a mother in the world, how can there be a reason not to worry about her son." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "The corpses of the prince of Qi and the Tubo national teacher have been buried. ”
Xiao Xu's expression stiffened again.
Empress Dowager Min was unaware and continued: "The princess of the King of Qi is also an infatuated lover. After hearing the news of Xiao Rui's death, he also vomited blood and died. The body has been sent to the royal family for burial. ”
Wang Min also died.
The corners of Xiao Xu's mouth were pursed extremely tightly, and there was no trace of superfluous expression on his face.
Empress Dowager Min sighed: "Sister Yue'er, this girl, is also ruthless. Her mother wanted to see her before she died, but she insisted on not going. ”
"Come to think of it, she was worried that you and Guan Ning would be upset because of this, so she made such a decision. This kid is also too careful and sensitive. If she goes, will you still be embarrassed about a child? If she really cares, she won't be allowed to live in the palace that day. ”
Xiao Xu's eyes flashed with surprise and anger, his expression became more and more tense, and his voice was extremely low: "What about Sister Yue'er, my son wants to see her." ”
Empress Dowager Min was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Your body is so weak, you have to take some time." Even if you want to see her, you don't have to rush for a while, there will be time in the future. ”
Oh, yes!
There is time in the future.
Xiao Xu's tense expression slowly eased.
