Chapter 152: Birthday Gift
After March, for the first time in so many years, the palace was so lively.
"Mother, look, this is the new clothes sent to me by my father!"
Su Wanxi is also dressed extraordinarily gorgeous today, and it is the first time in so many years that she has dressed up like this. "It's your third birthday, so you have to dress nicely. ”
"Mother, let's go quickly, my father is waiting for us in Zichen Palace!" Ruyun couldn't wait to take Su Wanxi's hand.
"Okay, let's go. Su Wanxi looked at Ruyun gently, in the past few months, she and Shen Jingyuan in the palace have been respectful like guests, and the days are as quiet as water, and everything in the past has gradually faded out of her mind, as if it was true, it was a dream of her previous life.
"Hey, mother, what about Sister Yu'er, won't she go with you?" Ruyun looked towards the room.
"My sister is at the nurse's, she is still young, and she will go when she is older. ”
"Okay. Ruyun was slightly disappointed, but in an instant, she became happy again, and Su Wanxi's hand jumped and went outside.
Shen Jingyuan was extremely fond of Ruyun, and gave the Zichen Palace, which could only celebrate the birthday of the king, a congratulatory occasion for Ruyun's third birthday, and even invited hundreds of civil and military officials to participate together.
In the Zichen Palace, the gold and jade are the pillars, the glass is the tile, and the hundred officials gather together to be very lively.
Shen Jingyuan sat on the throne, Ruyun on the side sat beside him slightly shyly, and Su Wanxi, in order not to fall behind, chose to sit quietly in the second seat of His Highness, and it was Bai Zixu who sat next to him. Today's banquet is extraordinarily lively, and it is rare that even the Queen Mother, who lives in seclusion on weekdays, came in person this time.
The Queen Mother doesn't like herself, and she doesn't like Ruyun, which Su Wanxi knows very well, and the Queen Mother came today, although she doesn't know what the purpose is, Su Wanxi still secretly raised her guard.
After the ministers worshiped Shen Jingyuan and Ruyun on the throne, the banquet officially began, with beautiful silk and bamboo, and the dancing posture was moving.
"Father, why is my mother so far away from us?" Ruyun asked while holding Shen Jingyuan's hand.
Shen Jingyuan looked at Su Wanxi, she had no intention of singing and dancing, and she happened to be looking at her side. Shen Jingyuan smiled slightly and said, "You can go to your mother's side and go." ”
"Little princess!" came the voice of the Queen Mother.
Shen Jingyuan and Ruyun looked at the Queen Mother together.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong?" Shen Jingyuan asked.
Ruyun looked at the Queen Mother strangely, biting her lip and not speaking.
Your Royal Highness, Su Wanxi saw the Queen Mother talking in the direction of Ruyun, and her heart twitched slightly.
"This is the first time that the mourning family and the little princess have met, princess, come to the mourning family, let the mourning family take a good look at you. The Queen Mother said kindly.
Ruyun was not at all guarded, and looked at this amiable woman suspiciously.
"Yun'er, this is the imperial grandmother. Shen Jingyuan introduced, although he knew that the Queen Mother had always had a grudge against Su Wanxi and Ruyun in her heart, but on such an occasion today, he also believed that the Queen Mother could not do anything excessive, but hundreds of pairs of eyes watched, she wanted to show a loving image of the emperor's grandmother, Shen Jingyuan thought so, and it was not good to refute the Queen Mother's face in public.
"Imperial grandmother?" Ruyun tilted his head and looked at Shen Jingyuan.
"Well, it's the queen mother of my father. It is Yun'er's imperial grandmother. Shen Jingyuan explained.
The Queen Mother beckoned to Ruyun and called, "Little princess, come here to mourn the family."
Shen Jingyuan nodded: "Go and let the imperial grandmother take a look." ”
Ruyun smiled generously, slowly walked towards the Queen Mother, and saluted in a decent manner: "Ruyun has seen the imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "What a polite and good boy, come, come to the imperial grandmother." ”
"Hmm. Ruyun nodded, and then walked towards the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother stroked Ruyun's head: "What a child with clear eyebrows, a little similar to your mother." ”
Your Royal Highness, Su Wanxi looked at the Queen Mother's every move with a solemn face.
"Hmph!" suddenly came a disdainful call from beside him.
Su Wanxi reacted, it was from Bai Zixu beside her. Su Wanxi was helpless in her heart, obviously the person next to her was her father, but she couldn't recognize him, and even had to endure his eyes and misunderstandings.
"Don't think that if you let the old man go, the old man will be grateful to you, the demon girl!" Bai Zixu looked at Su Wanxi coldly and said unceremoniously.
Su Wanxi's face was slightly sad, she forcibly endured her sour nose, and said, "I just understand that the prime minister is rare and loyal." ”
Bai Zixu smiled contemptuously: "You have done so many things that hurt heaven and reason, you think that you can be forgiven by everyone by saying a few nice words?
Su Wanxi lowered her head and said softly: "If your daughter had done these wrong things and now wanted to ask for your forgiveness, would you forgive......
Hearing this, Bai Zixu looked at Su Wanxi and his three daughters heavily...... The eldest daughter Bai Yue entered the cold palace, and later Su Wanxi ascended the throne, Bai Yue was released from the palace and left Dongyang with him and his wife. The second daughter, Bai Wuxue, died tragically because of the third daughter Bai Chengcheng......
"Mother!"
I don't know when, Ruyun has already run down from the hall and came to Su Wanxi's side.
Ruyun saw Bai Zixu on the side, and also said politely: "Hello." ”
Bai Zixu looked at Ruyun's innocent appearance, snorted lightly, turned his head, and no longer paid attention to Su Wanxi.
"Ruyun!" Su Wanxi looked at Ruyun nervously, "Have you done anything?!"
Ruyun said with a smile: "Mother, look, this is the hairpin that the imperial grandmother gave me." Ruyun pointed to the hairpin on his head and said happily,
Su Wanxi looked at Ruyun's head, there was really a blood-red hairpin, Su Wanxi looked towards the palace, and the Queen Mother also happened to look at them, and the Queen Mother had a few smiles on her face, which was a little meaningful.
Su Wanxi's face was cold, she retracted her gaze, glanced at the hairpin, and asked Ruyun: "How is the imperial grandmother?"
Ruyun said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother is very good, she gave Ruyun a birthday gift when we met for the first time!
Su Wanxi looked at Ruyun solemnly and said: "Ruyun is good, in the future, my mother will ask your father to send a Taifu to teach you to read and write, and try to go out to play as little as possible." ”
"Hey!Can Ruyun read and write?!" Ruyun asked excitedly when she heard this.
Su Wanxi smiled lightly and nodded: "Yes, but you can't go to the imperial grandmother to play if you are literate and literate." ”
Ruyun looked at the Taihu Lake on the palace with some reluctance, and then looked at Su Wanxi: "Then can you go to see the imperial grandmother occasionally, the imperial grandmother is alone in Ciyuan Palace, and she feels so lonely." ”
Su Wanxi sighed slightly: "Okay, I will ask my father to take you with me in the future." ”
After the banquet ended, Shen Jingyuan wanted to deal with affairs, so he didn't follow Su Wanxi and Ruyun back to Fuyuan Residence.
Fleur was in the center, and Su Wanxi always felt uncomfortable looking at the blood-red hairpin on Ruyun's head.
"This hairpin is not suitable for Ruyun, so let me change it to another one for you after my mother's kiss. In the dormitory, Su Wanxi said to Ruyun, reaching out to help Ruyun take off the hairpin.
Ruyun dodged back: "Don't, Ruyun likes this, the red one is very good-looking." ”
Su Wanxi frowned: "Then it's time to take it off, wash and sleep." ”
Qiulai stood behind Su Wanxi, looked at Ruyun and said, "Princess, it's already late." ”
Ruyun pouted: "Okay then~"
Su Wanxi sighed, then took off the hairpin, handed it to Qiulai, and said in her ear: "Throw it away." ”
Qiulai nodded: "Oh." ”
Su Wanxi looked at Ruyun: "Okay, Ruyun, it's late, we're going to go to bed soon." ”
Ruyun grinned: "Okay!"
Su Wanxi's fingertips ached.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Qiu looked at Su Wanxi's face tightened, and hurriedly asked with concern.
Su Wanxi looked at her fingers, and the tips of her right fingers that had just touched the hairpin were all red, burning like fire.
"Throw away the hairpin, it's poisonous!" Su Wanxi hurriedly said, asking Qiulai to throw away the hairpin in his hand.
Qiulai hurriedly threw it away, but there was nothing unusual when he looked at his hand.
"Master, the slave will send someone to ask for a doctor!" Qiu said, and hurriedly summoned someone to the hospital.
"Ruyun, how are you!" Su Wanxi looked at Ruyun nervously.
Ruyun looked at Su Wanxi sadly: "Mother, what's wrong with your hand?"
Su Wanxi looked at Ruyun and Qiulai, both of them had touched the hairpin, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong, but after touching the hairpin, the pain began to spread from the fingertips and spread to the body.
"Master, wash your hands first!" Qiu said, and hurriedly brought the washing water.
Su Wanxi frowned and put her hand into the water, but the symptoms were not alleviated.
"Are you alright?" asked Su Wanxi about Qiulai.
Qiu Lai looked at his hand suspiciously: "The slave is fine." ”
Su Wanxi looked at her hand, and the red place extended to her arm like a pattern, and the strange pattern was not as simple as poisoning at all.
"Mother!" Ruyun looked at Su Wanxi's hand in surprise, "Hand...... ...... in hand"
Su Wanxi endured the pain and comforted Ruyun: "Ruyun, don't come here, my mother is fine!"
Ruyun suddenly began to cry: "What's the matter...... Mother's ......"
"It's okay......" Su Wanxi said, but gradually felt that her body was very soft, and her strength was drained little by little. "Come on, take the princess down and hand it over to the nurse first. Su Wanxi commanded.
The palace maid soon came up to take Ruyun away.
"Don't, my mother is sick, Ruyun wants to be with my mother. Ruyun cried and said.
"Take it down!" Su Wanxi gritted her teeth and ordered, her uncomfortable appearance didn't want to be seen by Ruyun.
Ruyun was forcibly taken away, and the lines on Su Wanxi's hands spread more rapidly, and gradually her whole body began to burn.
"Lord...... Master......" Qiulai looked at Su Wanxi in disbelief.
Su Wanxi looked at Qiulai weakly: "What's the matter......"
"You ......" Qiulai covered his mouth in disbelief, afraid of screaming.
Su Wanxi felt that her eyes were getting heavier and heavier: "I...... What's wrong......" Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a bang.
