Chapter 69 The phantom of the old man is empty, but the painstaking heart is from my heart
"What's your name?"
"Ann...... Ann, An Tingya. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"Very good, from today onwards you will be my sister, if anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me, I will teach them a lesson for you!"
"Sister, sister?"
"Come on, come on, call Sister Yuan to listen. β
"Sister Yuan?"
Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan......
Empress Dowager An looked at the pretty girl who knocked in front of the hall, her eyes were far-reaching, and for a long time, her thin lips were lightly raised, as if she had changed her voice in a low voice.
Queen Xie sat next to the Empress Dowager An, noticed that the Empress Dowager An was strange, listened carefully to what the Empress Dowager An called, and suddenly her mind was clear, her mind turned a few times, her slender hand was lightly raised, and she said to the three sisters of the Wenchang Marquis Mansion who were kneeling under Her Royal Highness: "Get up." β
"Queen Xie!" the three sisters had to get up.
Queen Xie Su Yunjiao said with a smile: "You are the seventh girl of the Wenchang Hou family, right? Your two sisters have seen this palace, and it is the first time that you have seen this girl in this palace. β
Su Yunjiao got up together, squatted again, different from the past, with a soft voice, and said with full rules: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers were young before, and the mother was afraid that the little girl would not know anything, so she collided with the queen's mother, so she didn't dare to let the courtiers enter the palace to visit." In the past two years, the mother wanted to bring the courtiers into the palace to see, the clinker father was transferred to Qingzhou, and the mother went to Qingzhou. β
Somehow, Su Yunjiao can deal with the emperor with a normal heart, but when facing the queen, she is nervous, cautious every step, and her words must be said several times more in her mind. Seeing that Su Yunjiao dealt with it decently, Jiang Shi, who had always been worried, felt a little relieved, she was afraid that Su Yunjiao would not know the height of the sky, and she would become angry for a while, annoying the queen and moving the Hou Mansion.
When Empress Xie heard this, she chuckled lightly and said, "You are not bad, come closer, and take a look at the palace." β
Su Yunjiao took a few steps forward, stood three steps ahead of Queen Xie, raised her head slightly, her eyes drooped, and she didn't dare to look directly at her. Empress Xie looked up and down a few times, and Fang opened her mouth and smiled: "It's really good, it's pretty, it's really likeable." After that, he looked back at the Empress Dowager An and said, "What does the queen mother think?"
Empress Dowager An was still a little distracted, and she didn't hear Queen Xie's call, and when Mama Cui saw this, she leaned down and whispered twice in Empress Dowager An's ear: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother ......"
Empress Dowager An came back to her senses at this time, put away the blank melancholy in her eyes, her eyes were fixed, she beckoned to Su Yunjiao, and said with a smile: "Come here and let the mourning family take a look." β
Empress Dowager An's tone was kind, and when she heard this, Su Yunjiao's heart was relieved, and she was no longer restrained when she faced Empress Xie just now, moved a few steps, came to the Empress Dowager, gave a salute, and said, "Empress Dowager, ten thousand blessings." β
Empress Dowager An was much warmer to Su Yunjiao than Empress Xie was to Su Yunjiao, stretched out her hand to beckon her over, and said affectionately: "The mourning family knew that there was a baby girl in Yutai, but they didn't meet until today, come over and let the mourning family take a closer look." Hearing this, Su Yunjiao hesitated slightly, peeked at Cui's grandmother behind the Empress Dowager An, and saw her nodding with a smile, Su Yunjiao moved forward.
When she walked to the Empress Dowager An, Empress Dowager An took her hand, Su Yunjiao didn't expect it, she was taken aback, although she knew the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Hou Mansion of Zhenbei, but was she too enthusiastic? Su Yunjiao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive and unnatural, but her uneasiness quickly dissipated.
Because Empress Dowager An looked at her with a very gentle gaze, not the kindness of the elders looking at the younger generations, but pure gentleness. Su Yunjiao felt in a trance that the Queen Mother did not see her, but through her looking at another person, a person who had missed her for a long time.
Su Yunjiao's curiosity was aroused, who could make the queen mother of a country like this, and was she very similar to her?
Empress Dowager An looked at Su Yunjiao from head to toe without pulling it.
When she first met Sister Yuan, she combed her hair in this bun, and when Sister Yuan first met, Sister Yuan also loved these brightly colored clothes at the beginning, and Peony, which Sister Yuan loved for flowers. There is also the proud look that ordinary people only feel disgusted after watching it, which is exactly the same as Sister Yuan!
Is there really such a thing as reincarnation in this world? The more Empress Dowager An looked at it, the more she felt happy, and her face was excited, and she asked: "Mourning the family, you are in this style, but Yun Jiao girl loves peonies very much?"
As soon as this question came out, His Highness's people had different thoughts. Jiang's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he secretly prayed that Su Yunjiao would answer according to what she taught, and answer according to Empress Dowager An's preferences, and not be stupid to answer her preferences. Su Yunjiao, who had already guessed the mystery inside, hoped that Su Yunjiao could answer truthfully, and Zhong Ting, who had a discord with Su Yunjiao when he was in the side hall before, was resentful, and didn't understand how Su Yunjiao could have so much attention from the queen and the queen mother?
A Yunjiao girl made Su Yunjiao's heart feel close, and after thinking about it repeatedly, she finally didn't answer according to Jiang's teaching, and only replied truthfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, there are hundreds of flowers in the world, and the courtiers only love peonies." β
Hearing such an answer, Jiang Shi hated in his heart, gritted his teeth and complained: "The seventh girl is becoming more and more disobedient to discipline, and she must make rules with her when she goes back!"
Jiang secretly hated in his heart, but Empress Dowager An was extremely satisfied with this answer, smiled kindly, and asked, "Why do you only love peonies?"
"Hmm......" Su Yunjiao thought for a moment, and found that she couldn't think of why, so she had an idea, blinked and smiled: "Go back to the Queen Mother, because it's good-looking!"
His Royal Highness Zhong Ting scoffed, such a reason is really vulgar!
Empress Dowager An was stunned when she heard this-although Sister Yuan's answer was different, it was almost the same, it was just as pure and direct. She remembered that at that time, Sister Yuan gave her the answer: Peony is the king of flowers, and if you want to love, you will love the best.
"Good, peony good. In the past, I only heard that the Empress Dowager An liked to fiddle with flowers and plants, and there were countless strange flowers and plants in Guangci Palace, but there was no trace of peony, and Empress Dowager An herself preferred plain flowers, such as jasmine, narcissus and the like.
Therefore, outsiders have speculated that the Empress Dowager An is disgusted with her bright colors, too rich and noble, and does not love peonies. But looking at the Queen Mother's expression today, she doesn't seem to be displeased. Why is there no trace of him in the Guangci Palace? Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but they did not dare to ask more.
Others don't know why, as the queen mother's daughter-in-law, how can she not know? The Empress Dowager An does not love peonies, but cherishes them too much and does not want to show them in front of others.
"Yunjiao girl, what do you like to do on weekdays?" The more she asked, the more Empress Dowager An felt that Su Yunjiao was similar to Sister Yuan, as if to prove something, Empress Dowager An asked again.
After answering many questions, Su Yunjiao became more and more relaxed and replied: "The courtiers usually spend time with their sisters, and they also like to read some poetry books. "Counting, she should be the most comfortable and leisurely among the sisters of the Hou Mansion.
Empress Dowager An lowered her eyes, Sister Yuan later read a lot of poetry books because of the first emperor, but she understood that Sister Yuan never loved this. After a pause, Empress Dowager An replied, "Does Yunjiao girl like to run horses and hunt?"
This time was different from the previous times, and there was a bit of eagerness in his demeanor. Su Yunjiao was panicked when she heard this, and subconsciously wanted to nod, followed the Empress Dowager An, and replied that she liked it.
When the words came to his lips, he paused again.
Now, Su Yunjiao naturally saw that Empress Dowager An regarded her as another person's sustenance and wanted to find another person's shadow in her. If she just responds to the situation, the Queen Mother will be happy, and she will be more valued in the future, which will be of great benefit to her. But...... Su Yunjiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, she was her, she didn't want to be someone else's stand-in! What's more, Su Yunjiao glanced at the Empress Dowager An who was full of anticipation, the Empress Dowager treated her so kindly, how could she expire?
So, Su Yunjiao took a deep breath and categorically denied it: "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers haven't learned to ride a horse yet." β
"How come?" Empress Dowager An was surprised at first, incredulous, followed by the disappointment of disappointed expectations, and her eyes that had gone through vicissitudes of life were even deeper, as if she had aged several years in an instant.
Su Yunjiao looked at it in her eyes, she felt astringent and sour, and she couldn't help but complain that she had answered too directly, she was not thoughtful, her mind was flying, and she searched her stomach to find some words of comfort, but she didn't want Queen Xie to be one step ahead of her.
"It's good that my daughter's home is safe and stable. Isn't it, the queen mother?"
Empress Dowager An thinks about who she is, and Queen Xie knows it. Empress Dowager Huiyi was famous in the past, and she had heard a lot when she was still in the boudoir, even if she had never met, but Empress Dowager Huiyi's temperament could also be said.
If it is a metaphor, Queen Xie thinks it should be fireworks. Brilliant and brilliant, but fleeting.
With a time buffer and hearing Queen Xie's words, Empress Dowager An's mood gradually calmed down, and the vicissitudes of disappointment in Fang Cai's eyes gradually converged. In the end, Empress Dowager An closed her eyes and sighed, she was often praised for being open-minded and transparent when she was young, but now that she is old, how can she not be as obsessed as she was at the beginning?
"It's the mourning family who is obsessed. "Sister Yuan is Sister Yuan, the unique Sister Yuan, no one in the world can compare with it. Gone, that is, gone, never to come back. Even if there is really reincarnation, the person who comes back is not her An Tingya's sister Yuan.
When Empress Dowager An opened her eyes, her eyes were still gentle when she looked at Su Yunjiao, but she retreated from her previous obsession and smiled gently: "Yunjiao girl is very good, and the mourning family hopes that Yunjiao girl has always been so good." β
Seeing that Empress Dowager An was relieved, Su Yunjiao also exhaled a breath of turbidity, bent her eyes and smiled, and said, "Empress Dowager Xie!"
At this point, this episode between Empress Dowager An and Su Yunjiao is over, and the New Year's greetings continue. Following Su Yunjiao, a few more girls ordered by Empress Xie stepped forward to speak, and Empress Dowager An also asked a few symbolic questions. After the end of the court, the wives of each family returned to the mansions from the inner palace, and Empress Xie and other wives dispersed, and respectfully sent the Empress Dowager An out of Guangyi Palace.
Empress Xie wanted to send Empress Dowager An back to Guangci Palace, but was rejected by Empress Dowager An.
"The queen is also tired, go back and rest. Empress Dowager An held Cui's hand, stood at the door of Guangyi Palace and said, "The mourning family is accompanied by Cuiwei." β
"Queen Mother......" Queen Xie is still not at ease.
Empress Dowager An smiled: "What are you worried about? This palace mourner has stayed longer than you, can you still get lost?" β
"Then ......" After Queen Xie hesitated, she didn't insist anymore, and saluted and sent it off, "The concubine sends off the queen mother." β
Empress Dowager An took Mama Cui and a group of people to leave Guangyi Palace, but in order to return to Guangci Palace, she went to Xihua Palace, which had been uninhabited for a long time and had been idle for more than 20 years.
"Wait outside. Empress Dowager An threw off a group of palace maids, including Mama Cui, and stepped into the main hall and Qingfang Hall alone.
The fragrance of the palace is still there, and it has been twenty-three years.
The scenery is still the same, the things are still the same, the two girls who once said crazy things in the hall and dreamed of beautiful dreams, one is old and the other is far away from the world.
Empress Dowager An turned the screen, came to the inside, bypassed the half-played chess game, left the embroidery frame that had just been embroidered at the beginning, and stopped under the window bookcase.
There is a painting on the bookcase, and there are two people on the painting, one is wearing a green shirt and eyebrows, and the other is wearing a pale yellow coat and light eyes.
Empress Dowager An moved a chair and sat down, opposite the chair behind the case, stared at the woman in the green shirt on the painting for a long time, and then looked up at the unmanned seat behind the case and smiled, and poured out silently.
- Sister Yuan, who do you guess Tingya met today?
- Who?
- Tingya met Xiao Tai'er's daughter.
- Xiao Tai'er's daughter, how is she, is she like me?
- She's very good, very much like Sister Yuan.
β¦β¦
ββSister Yuan......
- Huh?
- Tingya hopes that she can live happier than you and me......
And the light is warm, the scenery is still the same, the things are still there, and the people seem to be still there.
