920 is often more casual than wishes
A woman is not destined to live for herself in this life, she lives for her parents before she gets married, she lives for her man after she gets married, she lives for her children when she has children, and she lives a casual life, but her wishes are not geometric.
Zi Yan was very serious about telling Wan Ruo Heping Er about her and Wen Jun's journey to the Two Lakes area for disaster relief, and when it came to moving, she choked up several times, the hardships of the past two months have indeed made Zi Yan mature, and she is deeply gratified by this. Before I knew it, it was noon, and the time for lunch had arrived, and the Empress Dowager Xiao sent a girl to Funing Hall to go to Mo Yuxuan with Ziyan for dinner, and when she left, she wanted Ping'er to help her place the glazed pomegranate sent by the Xiao family in the most suitable position in the room, as if she had complete trust in Ping'er, so she was allowed to walk around her room when she was away.
Wanruo and Ziyan took Xiao Qianxue back to Mo Yuxuan, Wanruo's heart was faintly worried along the way, she didn't want to dine at the same table with Zhongli Wenjun, that would remind her of the days when she was alone with Wenjun that year, they ate at the same table, stood side by side, played chess, piano flute and Ming, except for not crossing the thunder pool, they all did it sideways, and that was the most memorable beauty in this life, if they crossed the thunder pool that time, maybe the memory of being alone would not be unforgettable, Sometimes it's a good thing to live with some regrets, and it's the same in love.
Thinking all the way to himself, the feet that seemed to have stepped into Mo Yuxuan's room for Empress Dowager Xiao, and the strong girls ran before and after Zhang Luo's meal, while Empress Dowager Xiao and King Fu sat opposite each other, and their expressions looked a little strict, but they didn't see Zhongli Wenjun, which made Wanruo feel a little relieved, and Zi Yan was a little disappointed to see that her husband was not there, "Why isn't Wenjun here?" Coming to the Empress Dowager Xiao, Zi Yan asked softly.
Empress Dowager Xiao said calmly and left.
"Didn't the Queen Mother ask him to stay and dine with us?" Zi Yan saw that Empress Dowager Xiao was so indifferent to Wen Jun, she felt very uncomfortable, after all, it was her husband, she hoped that Empress Dowager Xiao could love the house and Wu, Zi Yan was a big girl, but sometimes the information was like this, she always felt that Empress Dowager Xiao didn't seem to be so good to Wen Jun, and as for why she couldn't figure it out.
Empress Dowager Xiao naturally saw her daughter's thoughts, but she still said lukewarmly, now that your imperial brother has appointed Wen Jun as the crown prince, and he has not yet gone to the East Palace to see the prince, this is not very suitable, so after greeting the mourning family, he is naturally going to the East Palace, is it difficult or the mourning family to blow him away?
After listening to Empress Dowager Xiao's explanation, Zi Yan was relieved, and seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao's face was not very good, she knew that she was angry with herself, so she hurriedly stepped forward to make amends, "Don't be angry, it's the son-in-law who can't speak, and the son-in-law has made amends to you." ”
"Zi Yan, I heard Wen Jun say that you have become a lot more virtuous than before, but now it seems that he has praised you falsely." King Fu said with a smile, taking his daughter from Wan Ruo's hand, but his eyes still fell on his sister, he didn't see Zi Yan as a brother for two months, and he missed it very much, but he rarely expressed it.
Zi Yan winked playfully at King Fu, pretending to be aggrieved and said, people are really virtuous, if Brother Wang doesn't believe it, you can ask your sister-in-law.
It was as if he was busy talking to Zi Yan on the side, "This time Zi Yan has really grown up." ”
King Fu looked as if he was serious, but he was still skeptical.
At this time, the maids and ladies had already put the dishes on the table, and the tassels came over to invite the Empress Dowager Xiao and others to the table.
Empress Dowager Xiao sat on the main seat, and then let Wanruo and Ziyan sit on their left and right, and King Fu sat on the opposite side, as if she wanted to bring Qian Xue over, but the little girl couldn't survive in her father's arms. Recalling the former joy, Zi Yan was very emotional, the past is all over the place, and it will not come back.
Speaking of the previous incident, Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Time flies so fast, your father has been gone for almost ten years, but Xue'er is much happier than Zi Yan, at that time, your father had nothing else to rely on the Mourning family except for state affairs, and the warbler Yanyan by his side went to Zhaoyang Palace only a handful of times in a year." Zi Yan is looking forward to him, why didn't the mourning family look forward to it? Recalling the past, a strong Empress Dowager Xiao still inevitably had red eyes, and the years of decay and late love were the unforgettable sadness of Empress Dowager Xiao's life.
The atmosphere suddenly became damp, and she hurriedly relieved that it had passed, and the queen mother and Zi Yan should not be sad about the unhappiness they had before, so they should hurry up and eat, otherwise it will be cold after a while. Although she was a little uncomfortable in her heart, she could only put it away temporarily, she was happy to see Murong Yichuan so fond of Qian Xue as a mother, but when she thought of her little daughter Hongyu, who was thousands of miles away from her, her heart instantly changed from sunny to haze, her thoughts were like a forest, and her worries were like a tide, once upon a time she wanted to rush to Yunmeng Mountain to bring her daughter back to her side regardless of it, but this thought was only fleeting, she was afraid that her impulsiveness would be punished in exchange, she was afraid that her willfulness would make Murong Yichuan disappointed in herself, It is precisely these fears that make her have to suppress her impulses fiercely, bury her thoughts deeply, and turn them into melancholy, and her heart is silent and no one complains, looking at the dusk alone.
King Fu has always just listened, he picked out his daughter's favorite things and sent them to the little girl's mouth with chopsticks, showing her fatherly nature, recently she has been busy with state affairs, busy with calculations, and almost ignored his wife and children.
Empress Dowager Xiao calmed down and then slowly picked up the chopsticks, turned her head to look at the quiet look beside her, and said slowly, Like, Aijia heard that the Xiao family sent you a pomegranate made of glass, do you know its intentions?
As if he nodded, he didn't dare to slack off on Empress Dowager Xiao's words, and hurriedly replied; "Less than an hour after it was delivered, the pomegranate was very fond of it, and the daughter-in-law knew the intention, and the pomegranate was a symbol of the son."
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded slightly, meaning and said; "It's good if you understand, this is also the wish of the mourning family, just like if you can't give birth to a prince to Yichuan within two years, the mourning family has to make the decision to let Yichuan accept Ping'er, and you and Ping'er are also sisters, she does things properly and thoughtfully, and she is also a good virtuous helper, although she is from a humble background, but her cultivation is enough, as if you are good for yourself." At the end, Empress Dowager Xiao's words became majestic, with an irresistible power.
Wanruo's heart was instantly pressed by Empress Dowager Xiao's words, as if it was a big mountain, a little out of breath, looking at Murong Yichuan on the opposite side as if he didn't hear it, if he had spoken for himself before, but now he ignored it, obviously she also acquiesced to Empress Dowager Xiao's arrangement, and he also hoped that he would have a child sooner, but one qiē is not something he can control, one qiē is fate, life is not up to oneself, and he can only obey the arrangement of fate
