CHAPTER XVII

Although the Prince's Mansion is not as big as the palace, after walking around, the two of them have almost digested it, calculating that the time should come, Huo Yi led Lin Sansi to the direction of the study.

The candlelight in the study was blazing, but the room was empty, Lin Sansi was about to ask when the guests would arrive, when he suddenly heard a fragmented sound coming from the wall, and couldn't help but shut up.

Huo Yi raised his eyes and smiled at her, and said lightly: "It's here." ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle of a white wall that was originally immovable was suddenly pushed open from the inside, revealing a small door that was slightly smaller than the ordinary door, and a kind-looking old lady walked out of it, holding a dragon with one hand and supporting Song Jingyang with the other.

Lin Sansi was stunned by the scene in front of her, so much so that Huo Yi used a little force on her back, and she reacted a little, and involuntarily followed Huo Yi's strength to follow him in the direction of the old lady, guessing in her heart who this old lady was, but she didn't guess for long, because Huo Yi's words revealed the identity of the old lady.

"Grandson greets the imperial grandmother." Huo Yi's voice was cold, but the words were warm and powerful, and between speaking, the person had already knelt down and made a Wan'an salute.

Lin Sansi looked at the old lady in front of her, and blinked her eyes to indicate that her heart was really difficult to digest, the queen mother of the Southern Night Kingdom actually came out from behind a wall, just like making a movie, but after all, she was also from a famous family, and she reacted very quickly to things in this kind of scene, and without waiting for Huo Yi to speak, she knelt down: "The sinner girl Lin Sansi visited the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

Huo Yi's face darkened quietly.

"Get up, get up!" The Queen Mother was happy, wearing a gold-inlaid dark black long dress against her slightly old appearance, and the corners of her eyes were also full of wrinkles, but a pair of eyes were still translucent. She took Lin Sansi's hand, took a closer look, and said, "It's indeed a good girl!" Then he took Huo Yi's hand and said thoughtlessly: "The imperial grandmother is still obedient, right?" It's been two years! ”

"The emperor's grandmother has a promise, and the grandson admires it."

"What do you admire! If it weren't for your words, would the imperial grandmother be able to endure it until this time? Even if you climb, you have to climb to see you! Look at my Yi'er, they have lost weight......" The Queen Mother stroked Huo Yi's face with her hand, and her eyes seemed to have seen a baby that she hadn't seen for a long time, which was very rare. "It's all your father's fault, listen to those mediocre words, how can my Yi'er rebel! The thought of this imperial grandmother makes me angry......"

Huo Yi's expression was faint, as if he didn't care: "My grandson has always been fine, and the imperial grandmother should also take care of her health......"

Feeling that this meeting was not easy, and she couldn't delay all the time on such a sad matter, the Queen Mother relieved her mood and said: "Look at your current appearance, there is no big problem, your complexion and spirit are not bad, and the heart of the imperial grandmother has finally been put down." ”

Huo Yijun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't the messenger bring a message to the imperial grandmother?" ”

"Bring it!" The Queen Mother waved her hand again and again and said, "I told the Imperial Grandmother that you are very good, but if you don't see it with your own eyes, there is a stone in your heart that you can't put down!" As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, swept the room, and said, "I know that the evening is coming, the excited imperial grandmother has not eaten for a day, and she is a little hungry this time, is there anything to eat in the house?" ”

"Let the imperial grandmother come and go back on an empty stomach, it's because the grandson is not well prepared." After that, Huo Yi led the Queen Mother to the side hall of the study, the table in the side hall was already full of all kinds of melons and fruits, as well as a few dishes, obviously prepared by Sister-in-law Li in advance!

Lin Sansi also followed and walked over, to tell the truth, the Queen Mother suddenly came like this, ruining the image of the Queen Mother in her mind, thinking that back then, when the current holy elephant was still the prince, the battle for the heir was in full swing, because the prince had always been at odds with the courtiers, and the ministers said that the prince would be abolished. Such a heroine among women must be an extraordinary person, no matter how you say it, she should be graceful and luxurious, domineering and leaky! But looking at the Queen Mother in front of her, who eats this dish and tastes the soup and is full of praise, she is really lacking in imagination, no matter how she looks at it, she feels like the old woman in the neighborhood who likes to tease her!

"You did this?"

When she was thinking about it, the Queen Mother suddenly asked, Lin Sansi saw her looking at herself, and looked at Huo Yi beside her as if asking for help, but the other party ignored it, glanced at her lightly, and turned her head away.

Lin Sansi knew that Huo Yi was such a cold character, and expecting him to save her at such a time was simply a fool's dream! Gritted his teeth and replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, it's not me, it's Sister-in-law Li in the house." ”

"Oh......" The Queen Mother glanced at her thoughtfully, as if inadvertently muttering: "The mourning family heard that you are here to serve Yi'er......"

Lin Sansi panicked in his heart, and said in his heart, the Queen Mother was about to ask for the guilt, and explained: "Back to the Queen Mother, this is my business, just because I was injured on my hand a few days ago, so I temporarily asked Sister-in-law Li to come back to help." ”

"The mourning family is right, Sister-in-law Li is the one who was sent out of the mansion by the holy decree, and when she returned home at this time, she broke the rules." The queen looked kind, but the expression on her face was different.

Lin Sansi saw that Huo Yi didn't open his mouth to help her, and he was also anxious: "I know that this is not in accordance with the rules, I will ask Sister-in-law Li to go back tomorrow, and my hand is fine......"

Huo Yi stood aside expressionlessly, until this time Fang Chao shook his head at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother naturally understood what he meant, and it was not the job of a Queen Mother to tease a future granddaughter-in-law, so she nodded with a smile, and her voice was extremely soft: "Since you are injured, then take care of your injuries, and you are not in a hurry!" ”

Lin Sansi's eyes widened in astonishment, the changes of the Queen Mother before and after were too obvious.

Huo Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a doting tone: "The will of the imperial grandmother, still thank you?" ”

When Lin Sansi saw the appearance of the two of them, he always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't say for sure, so he had to bend down and kneel down and say, "Thank you Empress Dowager." ”

"Get closer to the mourning family, let the mourning family take a closer look!" The Queen Mother personally leaned over and took Lin Sansi's hand and pulled her side, although she was old, there was nothing wrong with her eyes, and they were even much brighter than the eyes of young people! has lived in the palace for so many years, what kind of girl she has never seen, there are simple, charming, treacherous, delicate, weak, although the appearance of this girl in front of her is not eye-catching, but the queen mother likes it more and more: "This appearance is handsome, and the body shape is good, and the mourning family likes it very much." ”

After that, he quickly took off a jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on Lin Sansi's hand, so fast that he didn't even give Lin Sansi a chance to refuse.

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at Huo Yi and said, "Yi'er, are you satisfied with the imperial grandmother's gift?" ”

Huo Yi raised his eyebrows, and the look on his face was obviously very satisfied with the Queen Mother's move, but he smiled faintly and said, "The imperial grandmother likes her personally, what can the grandson say!" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Huo Yi with doting disgust, and then said to Lin Sansi: "The mourning family looks forward to it day and night, and looks forward to him marrying a granddaughter-in-law, so I don't know how many times I have practiced in the palace, thinking that one day he will bring a girl to the mourning family to meet, and the mourning family will put the girl's hand on it, so that she can't escape!" The old man said with a smug smile.

Lin Sansi heard the words of the empress dowager of the dignified Southern Night Kingdom like a child, and he didn't know how to react for a while, and laughed twice in a while. Hehe!

The cheerful time always passes quickly, after a short reunion, the Queen Mother will return to the palace, after all, this trip is a big risk, hide from everyone, if it is delayed for too long, it is easy to be discovered.

When the Queen Mother couldn't suffer anymore, she reluctantly took one by one, slowly paced to the entrance of the secret room, looked at Huo Yi, and then looked at Lin Sansi, her tone was extremely reluctant, and her eyes flashed with tears: "The mourning family is back to the palace this time, and I don't know when I will see you." ”

Huo Yi looked at it very much and comforted: "Grandmother Huang, don't worry, it's going soon." ”

Although the Queen Mother was giggling, she was still very clear about Huo Yi herself, and when she saw him say this, she nodded solemnly at the moment: "The imperial grandmother is waiting." ”

Huo Yi personally sent the Queen Mother into the secret passage, and said in her ear: "Imperial grandmother, after your grandson left Beijing, I entrusted her to you to take care of, can you tease her like just now!" ”

"What else do you say? Just now, the imperial grandmother just tried her a few words, and you made a look at the imperial grandmother! Is the imperial grandmother such a disproportionate person! The Queen Mother smiled slowly and said kindly: "Don't say anything about it, the imperial grandmother is very accurate in looking at people!" This Miss Lin is really good, no wonder you protect her like this, and she won't cause you any trouble in the future, it's just ......"

It's just that there is no mother's fate in the world, the second half of the sentence The Queen Mother still didn't say it, it's all a matter of the future, now it's just a matter of adding trouble, and then talking about the number of lives, maybe there will be a change!

"What's it?"

"It's nothing." The Queen Mother shook her head and said earnestly in the tone of a person who came over: "Just don't be too ostentatious in the future, some things are not what they do, sometimes they hurt her!" Think about your mother's concubine at that time, if it weren't for your father's thousands of favors, and he regarded everyone in the harem as nothing, at least he would be so young and ......" Speaking of this, the Queen Mother swallowed her words again, Concubine Jing is also very much loved by her, but the person has passed away, and now it touches the heart, and it hurts!

The Queen Mother stopped, looked at the grandson in front of her who had been around her knees and her favorite grandson, and said thousands of words in her heart: "Since the death of your mother, how bitter you are, others don't know, the imperial grandmother knows, the more cold you are, the more you are pressed in your heart, don't look up to yourself too much, the imperial grandmother will be distressed, you know?" After a pause, he said: "No matter what you want to do, do it boldly, as long as the imperial grandmother is there, she will definitely support you!" ”

Huo Yi's originally calm black eyes suddenly surged, and after a while, he regained his calmness, gathered all his edges, and returned to the endless abyss. "Grandson knows, thank you grandmother."

The distance between the prince's mansion and the palace is not far, but the queen mother doesn't want to go back, always walks a few steps to rest for a while, stops and goes, talks and laughs.
