Chapter 61
Su Yan had never seen such a queen mother, her eyes were full of cold light, and her graceful and elegant face was dyed with fierceness and momentum, but she also knew that this fierce momentum was not for her, but for a moment, although there was a slight hint in her heart, it was only a flash, and it was more of an exploration of what was written in the letter.
Coincidentally, the paper ball happened to roll down at her feet, rubbing the hem of her skirt slightly, Su Yan didn't think about it anymore, and leaned over to pick it up.
Seeing this, Xuezhi and Yuezhi glanced at each other, and their eyes were worried.
Although she was worried that Su Yan would be resistant to recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors because of the things she wrote in the letter, and she was even more worried that her pure temperament would be hurt by such pickled calculations, but in the end, that was her life experience, and she was qualified to know, and it was difficult for outsiders to stop her.
"You'er!"
The Queen Mother spoke out to stop her, originally worried, but because of the unabated anger, the words were full of intimidation, Su Yan shook her fingertips, stopped unfolding the paper ball, and looked at her head in panic.
The Queen Mother pressed her eyebrows, supported her forehead, and slowed down her tone after a few breaths, and said, "It's not that the mourning family doesn't allow you to see it, it's just that it's ......."
"The mourning family originally thought that the mourning family would make the decision for you in everything, and you just had to be behind the mourning family," At this point, she saw Su Yan holding the half-stretched paper in her hand as if she was persistent, she sighed and closed her eyes to compromise, "That's it, if you really want to know, just look at it." ā
In the end, she still wants to go back to Chang'an to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, although she is the queen mother, she is powerless to fight with the sky, and she can't protect her for a lifetime, it is better to let her see the conspiracy and trickery under the flowers, it is better than being defenseless and calculating.

Seeing that her girl had been in for a while, but she never came out, and no one went in outside, Liuying was anxious and worried, but she didn't dare to get close to the main house to explore one or two because of the Queen Mother's instructions, so she had to pace back and forth on the corridor.
"Amitabha, Amitabha, Buddha bless, the Queen Mother loves the girl so much, she will not be blamed."
Liuying clasped her hands in front of her chest and twisted them tightly in one place, lowered her head and muttered in her mouth, and when she turned around, she hit a human wall.
"Ahh Liuying took a few steps back, raised her hand to touch her forehead, and raised her eyes to look, and when she saw the person in front of her, she was happy, "Commander Wu!"
Wu Qing was already standing behind her, just waiting to see when she would notice him, this little girl was really defenseless, and she couldn't find anyone behind her back and forth several times, and he heard what she was reading, although she didn't know what the girl Su did, but she couldn't bear the little girl's anxiety, and she was about to step forward and take the initiative to appear, but the little girl suddenly turned around and bumped into her.
Even though there were all kinds of worries in his heart, Wu Qing's face was still cold, and he bowed his head slightly in response to the obscene firefly, stepped forward and brushed away the little girl's hand covering her forehead, leaned over to look, "Did it hurt?" ā
The hot and humid breath brushed her forehead, brushing the broken hair in front of her forehead, bringing a slight itch, and the slightly cool fingertips touched her forehead, but the firefly felt that the place where it was touched was hot, and the fire generally dyed her whole face with heat.
Liuying has never had such an experience in her sixteen years of life, her heart is crisp and itchy, and it is extremely uncomfortable, she instinctively took a small step back, and turned her head, "Wu, Wu Commander, the servant, the servant is fine......"
The little girl turned her head away to prevent him from seeing her expression, but exposed the red earlobes to his eyes, Wu Qing's eyes looked at it for a moment, and his eyes were a little more obscure, he withdrew his hand behind his back, and asked in the same tone as usual: "Are you worried about your girl?" ā
The little man who was still shy to avoid quickly turned around, and his voice was surprised, "How does Commander Wu know?" ā
Wu Qing turned around and looked in the direction of the main house, his voice was cold, and said: "If that's the case, then you don't have to worry anymore, with the Queen Mother's love for Miss Su these days, no matter what she does, as long as it is not a big crime of bullying the king, I think the Queen Mother will not be punished lightly." ā
He thought that the little girl would be relieved to say this, but as soon as he said this, the little girl not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but her expression was even more panicked, her face was pale and crumbling, and he was about to ask her what happened, when he heard a "squeak" from there.
The door of the main house, which had been closed for more than an hour, was wide open, and Mama Xuezhi, who was waiting beside the Queen Mother, stood inside the door and invited the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Court who were waiting outside the house to enter.
Liuying obviously noticed it, she hurried down the porch, looking into the room through the cover of the bald trees in the courtyard, and when she saw the slender figure standing intact behind the Queen Mother who was sitting in the middle, her heartstrings that had been tense relaxed.
Thinking of what she had just done in front of Wu Qing, Liu Ying was afraid that Wu Qing would see something, she took a deep breath, leaned on the trunk of the tree and looked back at the young commander who often wore a sword on the corridor, and said crisply: "Sure enough, as Commander Wu said!" ā
As she spoke, she stroked her chest and let out an exaggerated breath, and whispered: "Next time, I will not bet with the girl on Naraush!" No matter how good-looking the prime minister is, can he be better looking than the immortals? Plainly worries me! ā
What she meant was to push Fang Cai's various gaffes to herself and Su Yan to make a bet to see if the prime minister was as handsome as rumored, and that Su Yan would bring tea in regardless of the Queen Mother's order, but she didn't know where Wu Qing was so foolish as the commander of the forbidden army, not to mention that her remarks were full of flaws.
Knowing that the little girl didn't tell the truth, Wu Qing was not in a hurry. Originally, he is just an outsider now, and the little girl naturally won't believe her lightly, Fang Cai's matter is obviously related to the life of that Su girl, and the little girl's protector will not tell him to listen. He only waited for the time when she would be honest with him in the future.
Thinking like this, Wu Qing looked at the back of Liuying trotting away, and a sporadic smile appeared on his lips, softening the cold edges and corners of his face.

Besides, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites led a person to the ground to make a big salute, first invited the Queen Mother Fengti Sheng'an, and then invited the Queen Mother Feng Yuan to return to the palace.
Such a situation has appeared every year since the new emperor ascended the throne, and it has been the fourth year, the first three times no matter how everyone spoke earnestly and begged the queen mother, he never wavered, only prayed for the first emperor, and his heart was like still water, and he no longer set foot in the palace in this life, and insisted on refusing to return to the palace.
In the fourth year now, everyone who came to invite was ready to be rejected again, but they heard the faint voice of the Queen Mother from above-
"That being the case, the mourning family will go back to the palace to take a look."
The people kneeling on the ground heard this, as if they had encountered some rare scene in a hundred years, even the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who had always been smooth and quite familiar with the way of officials, was stunned, and it took a few breaths before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly led everyone to kowtow again, shouting the Queen Mother Chitose.
After that, it was natural to discuss when to set off and other such things, and when everyone retreated, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites secretly looked up at the prime minister who was sitting on the left hand side of the queen mother, and he complained that Dou Xiang, who had never interfered in this matter, took the initiative to ask the emperor a few days ago to invite the queen mother to return to the palace, and it turned out that the queen mother would not refuse this time.
The fan behind his back squeaked shut, and he straightened up and looked back at the closed door.
Since the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, the queen mother came to this Foguang Temple to pray for the first emperor, the first three years, no matter how they respectfully asked to return to the palace, the attitude is resolute and by no means light yƬ can be shaken, but now he agreed to the invitation, which makes him not think much?
It's just that I don't know what Dou Xiang said to the Queen Mother, but he can say that the Queen Mother will return to the palace.
***
Although the Empress Dowager has decided to return to the palace, she does not choose a random day to leave, but has to carefully select the auspicious day of the zodiac by the officials of the Qin Tianjian who accompanied her.
The most recent day was ten days later, and the Empress Dowager received an answer and set a date for departure.
In winter, it is cold everywhere and everywhere must be careful, and all the things must be prepared, so it is Xue Zhi Yuezhi Mama and the older aunts in the courtyard to pass the word, and the palace people began to prepare early, and strive not to make a little mistake.
For a while, the courtyard was busy, and all the palace people were more or less piled up with things, and even the most slow palace people walked with the wind.
Su Yan's life has not changed much, as usual, she arranges three meals for the Queen Mother every day, cooks medicinal meals with her own hands, and does more and more convenient things such as playing chess and reciting books to relieve boredom, except for one point-
Because she spends most of the day by her hand-raising side, a certain prime minister is "dissatisfied".
The winter weather is cold, the mountains are even colder, the mountain wind is mixed with the cold and blows straight into the bones, it can be described as "cold through the bones", it is the queen mother who has not gone out much for several days in a row, this day is easy to no longer have wind, the sun is good, Su Yan and the two grandmothers waited for the queen mother to walk around in the temple for a while, and it took about half an hour to return.
Entering the courtyard, I didn't walk a few steps before I saw a group of palace people passing back and forth through the main house, all of them stretched their necks to look in, and the more lively ones joked with each other, seeing this situation, the Queen Mother snorted, turned her head to look at Su Yan beside her, and quipped: "Look, it's here again." ā
In the past few days, there will be such a situation in the courtyard every day, Su Yan accompanied the Queen Mother, Dou Xian waited for Su Yan, and the palace people seized the opportunity to take a few more glances at their own "Spring Boudoir Dream Man".
Su Yan was shy and refused to answer.
After entering the house, Dou Xian really sat on the pear wood circle chair, sipping slowly with a tea cup, his demeanor was calm and handsome, and there was a painting sitting there, and the palace man who served the tea stood behind him with a red face-
This is the charm of this person, even if everyone knows that his heart belongs, and knows that it is different from him, they still can't control a heart in their chest.
Su Yan looked at it, and there was a sulk in her heart, and she secretly said What kind of good skin did this person make? How many women have lost their souls for him.
Thinking like this, she glared at him fiercely, no longer paid attention to him, and helped the Queen Mother to sit on the Luohan bed with her eyes.
As everyone knows, her eyes seemed to be disgusted, and she was angry, which tickled Dou Xian's heart, but she was afraid of the people present, and she couldn't encircle the delicate girl in her arms and rub it for a while, and her heart was a little more depressed.
Now it is only the middle of November, and it was not yet the day to invite the Queen Mother back to the palace, but he missed her so he specially went to tell the emperor, which brought the schedule forward by half a month! I thought that this time the relationship between the two would be exposed in front of the Queen Mother, and from then on, I would face the little wife day and night, and talk about the pain of lovesickness in my heart, but I didn't want to, I missed a little bit - the little wife served the Queen Mother, inseparable, and gave most of the time of the day to the Queen Mother, but he couldn't get in front of him!
