Chapter XVIII. A blessing in disguise

"Celestia, are you here?"

As soon as I stepped into the gate of Changle Palace, I was greeted by the aunt in charge of Changle Palace, who saw that I was supported by Sijiu, and walked with a limp, so she hurriedly came over to help me: "How can the eldest princess come to Changle Palace if she is not well?" It's time to recuperate. ”

I was held by her, walking slowly, anxious: "The imperial grandmother is sick, how can I rest assured?" I only heard today that my body is recovering quickly and is not tight. ”

The aunt in charge led me, her face was also anxious, and she sighed: "The Queen Mother has not been very good for a while, I can't sleep every night, sometimes a dozen meditations are a night, we slaves are also anxious to look at, but we also know that our anxiety is as anxious as the Queen Mother's heart?" The eldest princess went for a while, and she had to comfort the queen mother. ”

I nodded: "It's natural." ”

When I walked to the door of the Queen Mother's dormitory, there was a faint sound of an old man and a young man talking in the back room, and I was a little curious, so I asked: "Has anyone come to see the ancestor today?" ”

The aunt in charge replied: "It's the county lord of Hudong." In the past few days, the queen mother has been sick, and every day the county lord comes to serve the sick, and the county lord is sharp-toothed, which has won a lot of favor from the queen mother, and also made us feel at ease. ”

I asked Sijiu to wait outside the hall, and was led in by my aunt in charge. The medicinal incense and sandalwood in the hall are intertwined, and they are baked by the heating rising from the earth dragon, and the damp smoke is blowing in the face.

"Ancestor, let me tell you a joke, in the past, there was a little monk ......" Lianxi's crisp words came, and the quiet and solemn moment brightened a little.

I got closer, and the Queen Mother was leaning on the couch, dressed in plain clothes, looking haggard under her gray sideburns, and listening to Lianxi's jokes with a serene expression.

Lianxi sat on the edge of the couch with his back to me, and was talking about Xingtou: "One day, he went up the mountain to chop wood, and met a girl......"

"Yue'er." The Queen Mother saw me walking towards her slowly through Lianxi, and slowly spoke, her eyes were rarely soft.

Lian Xi also turned his head when he heard this, and was stunned for a second, and then a bright smile immediately appeared on his face: "Sister, you are here!" ”

I nodded, sat down next to her, and asked with a smile, "Xi'er has been getting more sensible lately." What kind of joke is this going to tell my son? Let's talk about it for my sister. ”

"You're not well, and you're running around again, do you want to worry the mourning family?" The Queen Mother ignored me and tried to divert the conversation with Lianxi's joke, and asked herself.

I lowered my head with some guilt and whispered, "My grandson doesn't want to do it either...... It was the grandson who was angry with the old ancestor...... "You kid! The Queen Mother scolded on her lips, her face did not change, and there was a smile in her eyes.

I blinked my eyes a few times, only as my own dazzle, and took the loquat dew in Lianxi's hand and sold it: "The ancestor has the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and he will definitely get better immediately after drinking this loquat dew." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and asked, "What if it's good?" You kid loves to talk big. ”

I stuck out my tongue lightly and said helplessly: "Where is the old ancestor sick, he is obviously angry with his grandson." ”

"Mourning is angry with you for acting impulsively. What kind of horse did you go to race with a girl? Are you tasting the pain now? ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly defended: "That Xiao Ao won the disgrace, and he also plotted against his brother, and I was also angry for a while. ”

The Queen Mother's face turned pale when she heard this: "When will your angry temperament change?" It's exactly the same as your mother's temperament back then. ”

I wondered and asked, "How can the queen mother be so ...... as her grandson?"

It is estimated that she found that she accidentally told the truth, and the Queen Mother was stunned, and then said for a moment: "How stubborn your mother was back then, after all, she was loved by all the people...... You are like this, how can you reassure the mourning family! ”

"Ancestor ......"

"Ahem...... Cough! ”

The Queen Mother said a lot of things after speaking, and there was a cough when she got angry, and I was helpless by her reprimand.

"Ancestor, don't be angry......" Lian Xi was originally sitting on the side listening to my conversation with the Queen Mother, but seeing that the Queen Mother was angry with me again, she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "My sister also had to do it that day." His Royal Highness has been troubled recently, and he was a little careless in the competition, and he was taken advantage of by Xiao Ao......"

Lian Xi cleverly explained the cause and effect to the Queen Mother, and the more I listened, the more I felt that what she said was like the joke she told just now, both true and false.

"Sister is worried about His Royal Highness, and she can't swallow this breath, so she will do this in a hurry. Later, in the competition, Xiao Ao was a lot ahead of his sister, presumably his sister fell off the horse in a hurry. Ancestor, who doesn't worry about your anger and body? ”

I looked at Lianxi who was smiling incredulously, and hesitated: "Why are you ......?"

"Yue'er!" The Queen Mother scolded and said, "People are younger than you, and they are more sensible than you." When will you be able to give the mourning family peace of mind? ”

I gritted my teeth and endured it, saying, "It's my grandson who is not good." ”

"Just now Lian Xi said that Hong'er has been worried about something recently, what did you tell the mourning family?"

"This ......" I glanced at Lianxi, she looked at me with a harmless smile, for some reason, I actually felt that this smile was strange and familiar.

"I heard that His Royal Highness fell in love with a maid in his palace and fell in love with him." Lianxi received.

My heart sank, and I didn't know if Lianxi said this intentionally or unintentionally.

"Really?" The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Hong'er is an adult, so she should find a few concubines to serve." Yue'er, do you know the details of that girl? Don't make such a big mess like Luan'er. ”

"Ancestor, don't worry. Sister has a good relationship with that sister, and she must be a powerful person by Sister's side, and she will definitely be able to take care of Her Royal Highness. ”

Lian Xi met my inquiring gaze, pushed me, and whispered in my ear: "Sister, Your Royal Highness is happy Sister Biyu, Concubine Niangniang is banned now, and only you can be the master for him." ”

I think of what happened to Canghua Hall that day, it seems that Lianxi not only knew me and Shen Zhan, but also discovered Jing Hong and Bi Yan. I went before and after the embankment, but I never wanted to be said so generously by Lianxi. But Lianxi's actions make people look like they are completely out of good intentions.

The incense mist in the Changle Palace is shrouded, and the straight people are dizzy.

After being silent for a long time, I said: "Ancestor, my grandson is worried about my brother's affairs, and I didn't want to disturb your purity, but since I was told by Lianxi today, I still ask you to be the master of my brother." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Let's listen to it." ”

"Jing Hong is now self-reliant, and he is about to leave the palace, if there is no one to help take care of the affairs of the house, it is not very appropriate." I glanced at Lianxi, and said, "Grandson heard that Miss Pei Jiaqi is knowledgeable, and she is a good candidate." ”

"The seventh child of the Xiaoyao Mansion?" The Queen Mother groaned and pondered, "That girl is born dignified, and her match with Hong'er is not bad, but ...... Didn't Lianxi Fangcai say that it was the palace maid in the Canghua Palace? Hong'er has not yet been conferred, the main room can be slow, and it is not impossible to take a concubine first. ”

Lian Xi helped: "Sister estimates that she feels sorry for Miss Pei Family, but I don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to do this." Sister, you still have to obey the heart of the Fourth Highness first. ”

After sitting for too long, my spine began to ache, and somehow I still felt a little cold.

I gritted my teeth, endured the discomfort, and said, "In this case, I also ask the ancestor to be the master and give my grandson's personal maid Zhizhi to Jing Hong." ”
