Chapter 103: Descendants
As early as the moment Zuo Qiyang stepped into the Sacred Heart Palace, the queen mother, who was beating the queen mother's leg while chatting with the old man without a match, had already caught a glimpse of Ah Zi following behind him with her spare eyes.
Although she has been riddled with illness for many years, and because the emperor has no concubines, she, who should be the queen of the world, is useless most of the time, but her ability to recognize people is not bad.
Back then, she had no father and mother, and the fearlessness who lived on the streets, that is, she brought it back at a glance and raised it by her side, and now she really lives up to her expectations, and she can be alone at a young age, stationing troops in Longwei Valley to resist the attack of the beasts.
And now, with only a quick glance, she concluded that the identity of the girl following Zuo Qiyang was unusual.
Although he looked very plainly dressed, no fat powder, no jewelry, and even when he entered the door, his face was obviously a little curious and a little timid, and he carefully followed Zuo Qiyang behind him.
Now I heard Zuo Qiyang solemnly say that he brought another person over, clearly referring to the girl next to him, and obviously using her as a bargaining chip, which confirmed his conjecture even more.
Don't...... She would be......
Empress Shen thought about it and looked at the Empress Dowager beside her - the Empress Dowager's previous experience was there, and she was obviously more qualified than herself to evaluate the woman in front of her who was full of mysteries.
And the Empress Dowager, who was originally unfazed on her face, listened to Zuo Qiyang's very simple hint. It was like a stone being thrown into the sea of hearts, causing ripples in layers.
This girl, on the surface, is no different from ordinary people, but the feeling behind her is like a cold wind in winter, blowing into her heart in bursts, and the biting chill suddenly hits her whole body, making her fingertips cold and unable to penetrate.
Why?
Why she gives herself the feeling. Like the man back then?
Just look at the way she looks. But she didn't know anything about the "aura" she was carrying, did she look away, or was she too good at disguise?
But what does it matter?
The old man thought and shook his head slightly. Thoughts go back decades. He has not yet married far away in this foreign land. At that time, the man's smile and smile were still vividly remembered.
But now things are not people, and the people of the past are deceased. Who among the living will remember but himself?
Thinking of this, the eyes that I thought had dried up decades ago actually moistened and blurred my vision.
Seeing this, Empress Shen's heart sank, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Ah Zi: "This girl's appearance is a sign, what is her name?" How old is this year? ”
"The people's girl Xin Zi has just turned twenty-eight years old."
Ah Zi didn't expect the topic to suddenly fall on her head, and it turned out to be the queen who asked herself with a smile, so frightened that she slipped down from the chair, and quickly stood firm, and replied respectfully.
But when the words came out, they sank into the sea, and all that was ushered in was silence.
Ah Zi maintained a curtsied posture, his hands at his sides, not daring to look up, but his palms were already sweaty.
Did you say the wrong thing and anger the queen? Or is there something taboo committed?
Time seemed to stand still, Ah Zi only felt that his hands and feet were sore, and he quietly glanced at Zuo Qiyang behind him as if asking for help, and saw that he looked like he was in his chest, sitting there with his eyes and nose and nose, and even a shallow smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Empress Shen turned her head with a pale face and looked at the queen and queen, unable to speak for a while.
Xin Zi ......
surnamed Xin, isn't he a descendant of the person in the "Palace Gate for Heart" incident that year?
The Empress Dowager only felt that her mouth was dry at this time, and she picked up the tea bowl in her hand, only to find that her hand had trembled unobediently, and the porcelain bowl gurgled loudly, and the Sacred Heart Temple, which could be heard at this moment, seemed so harsh.
Only then did the queen turn around, squeeze out a smile and stretch out her hand and say, "Get up and talk." ”
Ah Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up after thanking him, only then did he see the shocked expressions of the Empress Dowager and Empress in front of her.
"Your father, but Xinhan?"
The queen didn't have the heart to hold it anymore, and directly asked the question hidden in her heart, believing that the queen mother behind her also had the same thoughts as herself.
But Ah Zi was stunned when he heard this, this was the first time someone asked about his life experience, and he actually gave such a specific name......
Xinhan ...... Who's that?
has the same surname as himself, is it really his father?
I am a grass people, and I am a native of Dongyuan, and I don't even know who my parents are, why did I say such a name from the mouth of the most powerful woman in Xiyou's palace in this Xiyou?
However, this is the first time they have met, and based on the answer just now, only using her own name and age, how did this queen mother guess who her father is?
In an instant, Ah Zi had a lot of thoughts, but she could look up at the eager gaze of the queen's mother, but she could only bow her head and say: "The folk girl doesn't know who her parents are, I have lived with my uncle since I can remember, my uncle died when I was five years old, I was kicked out of the house, and I have been living alone since then. ”
After receiving such an answer, the queen mother could not hide the disappointed look on her face, sighed, thought for a while, and suddenly felt that it should be like this, so she nodded, and asked with a smile: "Then who is your uncle?" What is it called? ”
Ah Zi was stunned again, when her uncle left, she was not yet five years old, and she didn't know what his name was......
She lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, not knowing what to say.
"Alright."
The Empress Dowager, who had been sitting silently on the side, spoke, her somewhat hoarse voice was full of majesty, she slowly raised a hand, and the Empress Mother hurriedly stopped asking questions, turned around and stepped forward to help the old man get up.
"She said that she has been living on the streets since she was a child, and you ask that, how can she answer you? This child is already so fateful, why should you embarrass her again? ”
Ah Zi looked at the Empress Dowager and her old man, with tears in her eyes, unable to speak.
This loving old man, the grandmother of Emperor Xiyuguo, met for the first time, and was willing to put herself in the shoes of a lowly poor woman, how could she be virtuous and get the favor of her old man......
Just thinking about it, the Empress Dowager had slowly walked in front of her, and she actually stretched out a ravine-ravine hand, gently patted Ah Zi's tightly twisted hands, and looked at her with a comforting smile. (To be continued.) )
