Chapter 62: Family Affection
Led by Wanqing, the three of them walked all the way to the main hall in the queen's palace, but when they walked there, they did not enter the main hall, but turned around and went to the warm pavilion next to them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It does seem to be an ordinary family feast.
Entering the warm pavilion, the emperor and empress were already sitting at the table. "The son has seen the father and the queen mother." Zhao Mu and his wife greeted each other.
"Hurry up! Where did so much etiquette come from! The queen said eagerly.
I didn't think that after the tea was served, I invited a luncheon when I went back, I really don't know what these two think, they have to arrange a seemingly harmonious atmosphere?
The queen naturally noticed Shen Qiwu's expression, smiled toothily, with an indescribable affinity, "Thinking that it is all a family, it is better to keep your two children for a light meal, and you don't need to be too restrictive." "Thank you Queen Mother, Qi Wu, in the future, you can walk around here more often than anything else, and talk to the Queen Mother." Zhao Mu turned around and said softly to Shen Qiwu, "Now that I have entered the East Palace, there is no one to accompany my mother to relieve my boredom, you have to move around more." ”
"Well, the concubine understands." Shen Qiwu lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly.
The queen looked at this couple, especially Shen Qiwu, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, although Zhao Mu had entered the East Palace, she knew that the imperial concubine Jiang had been ready to move. Now that his son is standing behind the Shen family, and he has the convenience of the East Palace, he is not afraid of the provocation of the imperial concubine in the eyes of the queen.
It's just that Mu'er is a little worse after all, but fortunately now that she has a virtuous wife, I hope he can be safe and sound, and he won't worry about me, the queen mother.
"Alright, since we're all here, let's start the table." The Emperor sat aside and spoke softly. For an emperor, there is nothing more touching than a warm family.
"I heard, you went to see the Queen Mother just now?" The queen asked with a smile. "Yes, the Queen Mother has always taken a lot of care of her sons, and when her sons get married, they should naturally go over to take a look." Shen Qiwu said.
The smile in the queen's eyes became even more when she heard this, and nodded, "Yes, you have a heart." ”
"The queen mother praised it falsely, this is just the duty of the son." Shen Qiwu shirked.
"It's not in vain that the Queen Mother has worked hard for you, it's naturally best that you can have such filial piety." The queen suddenly sighed.
Shen Qiwu raised his eyebrows and did not answer.
Zhao Mu next to him was a little surprised, why was the queen mother so strange today, she actually said some brainless things, and she was confused, as if she was teaching the future.
And it just so happened that at this time, lunch was also served, interrupting the conversation of the three of them.
Looking at the palace maids who rushed in, Shen Qiwu didn't think it was just a coincidence.
Probably, this is just for them to hear, and there is no need for a response at all. Shen Qiwu didn't speak, he looked up at Zhao Mu, Zhao Mu couldn't understand and didn't speak, but the hand under the table was about to move. Shen Qiwu felt that his hand was pinched, probably because Zhao Mu also felt that something was not right.
The dishes came up one after another, and they were extremely exquisite, but Shen Qiwu didn't have much appetite when he looked at it.
The queen picked up the chopsticks, "I don't know what flavor you like, Qiwu, so I will tell the kitchen to make it according to your own taste, you can taste it and see if it suits your appetite." ”
"The queen mother's small kitchen has always been one of the most exquisite in the palace, as if the situation of the retainers eating here when they were children is still vaguely visible, and the taste of the retainers has always remembered." Zhao Mu said with a smile, and at the same time, the chopsticks in his hand caught a piece of fish, slowly removed the fish bones, and put them into Shen Qiwu's bowl, although the movements were a little stiff but more natural.
The emperor and the empress looked at it, the emperor was very calm and only slightly approving, and the queen was much more obvious, and her son even knew that he loved his daughter-in-law.
Shen Qiwu raised his head slightly, the emperor's face was still sinking like water, and the queen kept peeling shrimp and vegetables into the rice bowl of the two with a loving face, showing the warmth of a mother.
"Alright." The emperor took the handkerchief handed by the maid, gently wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth, and finally spoke after making eye contact with the queen.
"Mu'er, I'm going to go to the study to see the minister, so you can come along." The Emperor spoke, his tone unmistakable.
Finally couldn't help it, and the time for a showdown came.
Presumably, what Old Man Yan said seems to be coming true, and I don't know what the climate is like in the south at this time, and will he get sick if he goes? Will the road be boring? Do you want to bring a few more books?
"Qiwu, Qiwu?" The queen on the side found that Shen Qiwu was in a trance. Calling her name softly. What does this kid think? All drooling? Is it because you haven't eaten enough?
"Huh?" Shen Qiwu came back to his senses. The emperor and Zhao Mu are no longer there, and now the queen and herself are left here.
"I'm sorry Queen Mother, I just got out of my mind." In order to hide his gaffe, he hurriedly asked for a handkerchief to cover himself and pretended to be tidying up.
Of course, the queen will not be so careful, she still has a very good feeling for Shen Qiwu, as soon as she thinks that this hard-working child is going to run around, she has a pantothenic acid in her eyes, and said softly: "Qiwu, you are a good child, why are women hard, but you have to support what a man does, so that you can live in harmony with your husband and wife." You, you know? ”
Shen Qiwu nodded as if she didn't understand, after all, it was impossible for the queen to have ill will towards her, probably because her country was in danger, and now she was separated from her family, which made her feel a lot.
"They men, there is always something to do. I hope you can understand your father, he is a good father, but also a good emperor, he made a decision not to blame him, he is also to protect you. The queen sighed slightly, and no longer explained, and ordered someone to send Shen Qiwu back to the East Palace first.
Before leaving, the queen rewarded a lot of things, and even asked the kitchen in the palace to make an egg shortbread for Zhao Mu, I am afraid that she held back a lot of tears.
The women in the palace seem to be really miserable.
The queen has been a mother of the world all her life, but in the end, she also has to face the pain of parting that these mortals have to experience.
What if it's yourself? Will this be the case in the future? Shen Qiwu couldn't understand, she sat in the carriage and could only read quietly.
