40. Incomprehensible

In the second year of Qihua, the crown princess Chang died, nicknamed "Zhaode Emperor Crown Princess" and Zhaode Prince were buried in Dongling.

After lunch, Qi Jinghuan took a group of people to Yongshou Palace, when Qi Jinghuan arrived, the Queen Mother was resting on the couch with crooked clothes, Qi Jinghuan took a look, signaled the palace people not to make a sound, and quietly retreated to the outer room.

Lin Sishe stepped forward to serve tea, Qi Jinghuan took the teacup, took a sip and asked; "How much did the Queen Mother use for lunch today?"

"Back to Her Majesty, the Queen Mother used two mouthfuls of rice at noon, a mouthful of mushroom duck palms, a piece of desirable cake, and two candied longan."

"Where's breakfast?"

"I used a small half bowl of red bean porridge for breakfast."

Qi Jinghuan frowned slightly and said; "The Queen Mother uses little, and you who serve closely don't know how to persuade."

Lin Sishe hurriedly led a group of palace people to kneel down and said; "Your Majesty forgives your sins."

Qi Jinghuan waved his hand; "Well, get up, and order someone to make another lunch."

"Yes."

Shen Youan stood beside Qi Jinghuan, this was the first time she accompanied Her Majesty to this Yongshou Palace, in the past, Her Majesty had never asked herself to come together, but this time she was burdened with a heavy responsibility, I heard that the Queen Mother has been in a bad mood since the death of Princess Zhaode, and she has no appetite for food, Her Majesty is naturally worried about her mother as a son, and the imperial kitchen of Yongshou Palace has changed wave after wave and has not allowed the Queen Mother to use one more bite of rice, occasionally Her Majesty Xià comes to accompany her but uses two more mouthfuls, and when she persuades again, she doesn't even want to use one more mouthful, In order for the Queen Mother to be able to eat more, she has really exhausted all kinds of tricks, and she can't let the Queen Mother come out of the grief of the death of Princess Zhaode.

Princess Zhaode married into the royal family for more than ten years, has been serving the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very good, the Queen Mother has no daughter, is to take this daughter-in-law as a daughter to hurt, Prince Zhaode died at the time, the Lin family has not been removed, plus there is Qi Jinghuan, the youngest son is uncertain, even if the Queen Mother is sad, she is still barely holding on, this time Princess Zhaode died, the Queen Mother was very sad, first, she herself has a good relationship with Princess Zhaode, and second, why not have a guilty element in it? Prince Zhaode is gone, and now even the Princess Zhaode is gone, except for those concubines, there is no serious master in the entire Prince's Mansion, when the Princess Zhaode is there, she can still talk to the Princess Zhaode, and pinn her thoughts on her son, Princess Zhaode is gone, who else can she find?

Today, Shen Youan was stunned for a moment when he heard that His Majesty asked him to come over to serve the Queen Mother for dinner, the Queen Mother's poor appetite is something that the entire harem knows, and Concubine Yun and Concubine Yun also tried to come over to relieve the Queen Mother, but they were all pushed back by the Queen Mother, and Shen Youan was really a little frightened by His Majesty's high hopes for serving the Queen Mother.

"When the Queen Mother wakes up, you will persuade her to eat more, remember, don't be afraid, the Queen Mother is charitable and will not embarrass you, if you have anything to say, just say it boldly."

Qi Jinghuan told again, Shen Youan hung his head slightly, pursed his lips, and hummed softly.

The Queen Mother inside turned over slightly, opened her eyes, Yao Siyu stepped forward to help her up, rubbed her head for her, and said softly; "Queen Mother, Your Majesty is here."

The Queen Mother frowned and said dissatisfied; "Why is His Majesty here, and he doesn't wake up the mourning family."

Yao Siyu knew that she was distressed, so she said; "Your Majesty is filial, and when he saw that the Queen Mother was resting, he ordered not to disturb."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said; "Why don't you go and tell him that the mourning family is awake and let him in."

Yao Siyu blessed the Queen Mother, retreated to the outside and saluted Qi Jinghuan; "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is awake."

Qi Jinghuan got up and glanced at Shen Youan, who took a breath and followed.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye."

Qi Jinghuan saluted the Queen Mother when he arrived at the Warm Pavilion, and when the Queen Mother saw her son coming, she immediately showed a smile and beckoned him to pass, Qi Jinghuan walked over and sat down next to the Queen Mother; "Didn't the queen mother promise her sons a good meal?"

The Queen Mother said with a smile; "The mourning family is a good meal."

"Do you still want to lie to your sons? Two mouthfuls of rice, a mouthful of mushrooms and duck paws, a piece of desirable cake, two candied longan, the queen mother said, is this called a good meal? If the queen mother thinks so, the minister will also learn from the queen tomorrow and eat these. ”

The Queen Mother choked and couldn't help but sigh; "You said this man was fine, how can you say that he will go?"

Qi Jinghuan knew that the Queen Mother was still sad about the matter of Princess Zhaode, and felt a little guilty for a while, Princess Zhaode had always hated King Anping and You'an, he couldn't risk leaving Princess Zhaode, but he forgot that if he killed Princess Zhaode, the queen mother would be sad.

"Queen Mother, life and death are fateful, and the imperial sister-in-law has your sincere love when she is here, and it is not in vain to come to this world to go through this experience."

He deliberately avoided the imperial brother and didn't say it, in fact, he wanted to say that the imperial sister-in-law was now reunited with the imperial brother, but he didn't dare, for fear that mentioning the imperial brother would make the queen mother even more sad.

Shen Youan stood aside with her head down, listening to Qi Jinghuan consoling the Queen Mother, she always knew that Her Majesty was very filial to the Queen Mother, and now that she saw it with her own eyes, she still felt a little incredible, and she naturally knew that Her Majesty was not the kind of ruthless emperor, but they all said that the Heavenly Family was ruthless, that is, even the love between mother and son, and brotherly love were not all true, and she was naturally a little surprised by the way Her Majesty treated the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sighed and stopped talking, Lin Sishe brought a few palace people in to set up a meal, and the Queen Mother saw it and said dissatisfied; "Didn't you eat? Why is it brought again. ”

"They were asked to do it."

The Queen Mother said helplessly; "The mourning family is not hungry, let's withdraw."

Qi Jinghuan glanced at Shen Youan, who bowed his head, and said; "You'an, you come to serve the Queen Mother's meal."

Shen Youan originally planned to continue to pretend that he didn't save as long as His Majesty didn't call himself, but now that His Majesty called his name, he had to step forward, and smiled bitterly in his heart, His Majesty was embarrassed for himself, seeing that the Queen Mother made it clear that she didn't want to eat, and it was useless to persuade Her Majesty herself, how could she persuade a female official?

Qi Jinghuan ordered someone to put the food on the small table in front of the Queen Mother, Shen Youan stepped forward and knelt down to the side of the Queen Mother, held chopsticks and put a piece of food on the plate in front of the Queen Mother, and just wanted to say that the Queen Mother was invited to eat, but the Queen Mother held her hand; "Good boy, get up quickly, why are you still kneeling, does your knee hurt?"

After speaking, he glared at Qi Jinghuan and said; "Ayou, how can you let the young girl kneel and serve the mourning family?"

Qi Jinghuan snorted and said; "Queen Mother, you refuse to eat, and your sons have no choice but to do so."

Shen Youan was helped up by the Queen Mother, and his brain was completely confused, what is the situation, what is His Majesty talking to the Queen Mother?

"The mourning family just has a good meal, why do you want to bully the young girl."

Qi Jinghuan was also a little innocent, he just wanted You'an to persuade his mother to eat, but he didn't expect You'an to kneel and serve his mother's meal, he wanted to stop it, but the queen mother spoke first.

"Then the queen mother needs to eat more." After speaking, he glanced at Shen You'an, which means that if you don't eat well, let You'an serve you.

The Queen Mother ignored him, took Shen Youan's hand and looked it up and down, and said with a smile; "Sure enough, it's a good boy."

Shen You'an's face was full of puzzlement, and he turned his head to look at Qi Jinghuan and asked for help.

Qi Jinghuan chuckled lightly and said; "Queen Mother, you can't be partial."

Both of them are your daughters-in-law, and you can't eat because one daughter-in-law is sad, then your other daughter-in-law comes to serve you, do you eat or not.

Shen Youan didn't understand this, but the Queen Mother understood, Ayou was just nonsense.

The Queen Mother took Shen Youan's hand and asked her to sit beside her, how dare Shen Youan, she didn't dare to sit all the time standing, Qi Jinghuan said; "She is here to serve the queen mother for dinner, the queen mother doesn't need to eat, how dare she sit."

The Queen Mother held Shen Youan's hand, felt that this girl was too thin, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and glanced at Qi Jinghuan with some complaints, Qi Jinghuan turned his head sideways to avoid her gaze, the Queen Mother couldn't, so she had to pick up the chopsticks and send the piece of food that Shen Youan had just given her to her mouth.

"The mourning family has eaten, so sit down."

The Queen Mother made Shen Youan a little flattered, and looked at Qi Jinghuan, but saw him nod and said; "The Queen Mother asked you to sit, so you can sit."

Although I don't know why the Queen Mother has such an attitude towards herself, but since Her Majesty has spoken, she also sat next to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has long wanted Qi Jinghuan to bring Shen Youan to her to ask for peace, but Qi Jinghuan has always shirked and said that Shen Youan is timid, his son is unwilling, and the Queen Mother will naturally not summon Shen Youan in private.

"If the queen mother eats well, the son will let You'an come to accompany you."

The Queen Mother had always wanted to see Shen Youan before, she naturally didn't know that Qi Jinghuan didn't let her see Shen Youan not because Shen Youan was timid, but because Shen Youan didn't know that the Queen Mother would turn herself into a daughter-in-law, Qi Jinghuan was afraid that the Queen Mother would be overheated after seeing Shen Youan, which frightened Shen Youan, and now let Shen Youan come to see the Queen Mother, but also to see that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood, thinking that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood because of Princess Zhaode, so letting Youan accompany her might make her feel better, but I didn't expect it, After the Queen Mother saw Shen You'an, she really forgot about Princess Zhaode for the time being, and even Qi Jinghuan herself never thought that his mother would like You'an so much, probably because she also loved the house and Wu.

He thought that if he proposed to let Young Ando accompany his mother, the queen mother would naturally be very happy, but he didn't expect the queen mother to refuse.

The Queen Mother; "The mourning family is so old, what is there to accompany, it's good for you to come over and see the mourning family once in a while."

What is wood, Shen Youan perfectly interpreted the meaning of this word at this moment, she sat there motionless and listened to Qi Jinghuan's conversation, at a loss, she even suspected that she might have amnesia, there was a memory that she had forgotten, otherwise how could the Queen Mother seem to have known herself for a long time, and the Queen Mother's attitude towards herself was really good, she tried to think about it, and once again made sure that she really had nothing to do with the Queen Mother before.
