Chapter 118: Recognition [Second Update]

The Empress Dowager lay on the bed like gold paper, panting slightly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Weichen is incompetent, the old grandmother Shouyuan has already ......" Imperial Doctor Liu sighed heavily and shook his head helplessly.

The Empress Dowager is not young, her body is not stronger than when she was young, and she has suffered a big loss because she has been so angry.

Now I can only hang it with ginseng and delay it for some time.

The emperor stepped back, Zhuang Zhao quickly supported him, and shouted "Emperor" worriedly.

He shook his head and smiled reluctantly, "I'm fine. “

Mama Zheng calmly tucked the corners of the quilt for the Queen Mother and wiped her tears.

“…… Emperor" The Empress Dowager opened her eyes with difficulty, raised her hand tremblingly and called him.

The emperor immediately walked to the side of the bed and held her hand, "Grandson is here." Grandmother, are you feeling better? ”

The Empress Dowager smiled faintly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, cause and effect in the world, your grandfather can't escape, let alone the mourning family." She continued and continued: "The prince is still in Anhe Palace now, you will send someone to take him back later, the mourning family may not be able to take care of him." ”

"The grandson obeys." The Emperor said in a trembling voice.

She patted the emperor's hand, "Don't worry, I won't leave so easily without watching the prince's first birthday banquet." ”

"Grandson knows" He saw that the queen was tired, stood up and said, "Grandmother have a good rest, and grandson will retire first." ”

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and didn't know if she heard or not.

The emperor dragged Zhuang Zhao back, and on the way, Yuan Bo described the things in the palace one by one.

Zhuang Zhao secretly paid attention to the intelligence of this Lin girl, and the emperor sneered all the way to the end.

He suppressed his anger, and when he entered the temple, his face was gloomy, indicating that the storm was coming.

"The Empress Dowager is unwell, and this is the end of today's banquet. The three Aiqing, I will be rewarded another day. He calmed the three of them and broke up the feast.

Lin Wan deliberately stayed until the last group, and walked out with slender steps.

Zhuang Zhao smiled lightly, silly girl, the beauty plan has to be used at the right time.

Do you think the emperor still has the heart to appreciate your graceful figure at this time?

The emperor calmed down and said, "Princess Momofuku is so sick, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to recover." From today on, if you move to Jing'an Palace, no one is allowed to visit, and those who violate it will die! ”

This ban is not only sealed by Jing'an Palace, but by the entire palace ban. The Forbidden City suddenly returned to winter, cold and silent.

The sadness in the emperor's eyes became heavier and heavier, so heavy that it made her feel distressed.

He didn't say anything, and she couldn't comfort her.

It's just that when she's alone at night, she always hugs him tightly. The delicate and gentle fragrance lingers on the tip of his nose, and he is always at ease.

In any case, they can hug each other to keep warm.

He loved her, and so did she.

"I suddenly felt that I wanted to leave you alone in the world, how cruel it was." The emperor said in a low voice: "A person must be very bitter in the face of lonely and long days. ”

Zhuang Zhao gently stroked his head, "So, this is not a relief for the Empress Dowager." ”

The emperor hummed for a long time.

She smiled again: "You don't know how hateful your previous way of telling the future is. It doesn't seem like it's hard for you to let go. Not at all nostalgic for me. I'm always thinking, after you go, I should recruit a few male pets into the palace and have fun, maybe I can make you angry again. ”

Feeling a warm liquid falling on his hair, the emperor sighed, broke free from her arms, looked into her eyes affectionately and said, "You know, if there are only two of us, I will naturally take you with me when I leave, and I am reluctant to leave you alone." ”

He didn't use me, but me.

He said he was reluctant.

Zhuang Zhao threw himself into his arms, his little head buried in his chest and refused to move.

"But what about Ah Ling, are you willing to let her lose her parents at the same time?" The Emperor asked, rubbing her head.

She's short on words.

If the emperor and his daughter asked her to choose, of course she chose her daughter.

But, but......

She said sullenly, "I really hope they grow up soon." "So that she can be relieved quickly.

"Stupid." The Emperor smiled indulgently.

If she could, she would have wanted to be a silly girl.

The Empress Dowager has less and less time to be sober.

More often than not, she lies there quietly, quietly frightening. I'm afraid she'll turn her back on her in the next second.

Zhuang Zhao was still a little surprised when she was invited over by Mama Zheng, she thought that the Empress Dowager would not want to see her. After thinking about it again, maybe it was to pave the way for the prince in the end.

The Empress Dowager leaned on the big pillow and squinted at Zhuang Zhao approaching her.

A jade green sprinkled flower jacket skirt can't hide the brilliance, two curved willow eyebrows, and a pair of affectionate eyes, which are very similar to the year she entered the palace, but a little different. Only that voice is still as seductive as ever.

"The old lady is auspicious." She was demure and calmly bowed.

The Empress Dowager effortlessly hooked the corners of her mouth, "Sit down." ”

Mama Zheng moved a small round stool and asked Zhuang Zhao to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"You're in luck." As soon as the Empress Dowager opened her mouth, she said something confusing, Zhuang Zhao smiled, "...... Niangniang?"

"Back then, Yi'er and King Qi competed, and the backyard was weak, so the mourning family deliberately left three family girls into the final selection, in order to help Yi'er choose. The two families of King Xie have a great reputation, and the mourning family is afraid that Wang Mang and others will come out again, so they finally chose you. ”

Zhuang Zhao listened quietly.

"At the beginning, you really helped Yi'er a lot, and the mourning family thought that they were doing the right thing. But later, Yi'er cared more and more about you, and the mourning family began to notice that something was wrong. "The Empress Dowager has been in the harem for so many years, and she still has this keen intuition." Sure enough, after he abolished it, he handed over the crown prince to you, although you are not the queen. But it gets more than the queen. And all of this is just because you have a good background. ”

She gritted her teeth and said, "A girl from a family like you doesn't have to worry about her livelihood as soon as she is born. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the private affairs of the back house, all have special people to teach. I'm not surprised to lose to you, but I'm not reconciled. ”

It was because she was unwilling that she kept supporting the Dong family and suppressing Zhuang Zhao.

She didn't have any opinion on Zhuang Zhao, she just felt that it was unfair.

Why are some people born with something that others can't struggle for in their lifetimes?

"Niang Niang thinks it's unfair?" Zhuang Zhao saw through the meaning of her words, and said with a light smile: "Birth is the most unfair. Some people were born in the bitter cold land of Saibei, and some people were born in the rich hometown of Jiangnan. Some people are poor, some people are rich. Who is to blame? ”

"Niangniang, your birth is not good, but your children are all dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, and they are the most noble group of people in the world." Zhuang Zhao was not in a hurry, and even said with a smile: "Then can I also feel unfair." is obviously far better than Dong's, but she can be a wife, and I can't be in this position for the rest of my life, my children will be concubines all their lives. Is that fair to me? ”

The Empress Dowager snorted, her unfairness was innate. Zhuang Zhao's unfairness was artificially created by Emperor Taizu. When it comes to resentment, Zhuang Zhao is more qualified than her.

"It's ridiculous to ask someone to be fair." Zhuang Zhao said lightly, "I am here today because of the efforts of my ancestors and my fathers. I'm just sitting back and enjoying the shade. Mother, you should be able to understand. It is not the ancestor of the nobility, but the ancestor of the nobility. Your child is more honorable than anyone else in the Zhang family, and that's because of your efforts, isn't it? ”

The Empress Dowager laughed weakly but firmly.

She took Zhuang Zhao's hand and left her the jade bracelet on her wrist that she had been carrying all year round.

"You're a good boy. This bracelet is considered a gift from the mourning family to the granddaughter-in-law. ”

Is this an endorsement from the Queen Mother?

Zhuang Zhao respectfully took it and put it on his right hand.

The rounded arms are lined with streamers and jade bracelets, which look extraordinarily white.

"Xie Niangniang." Her eyebrows were leisurely, waiting for the Empress Dowager's next words.

"You're smart. The prince has your teaching, and the mourning family can rest assured. You go" The Empress Dowager said that, and she couldn't hold it anymore for a long time.

Zhuang Zhao also got up and retired.

To be honest, the approval of the Empress Dowager did not touch her much.

But the emperor should be happy.

She returned to the Ganqian Palace, where the emperor was teaching Ah Ling to speak.

Seeing her come back, Ah Ling happily spat and bubbled up, and opened his hand to hug her.

Zhuang Zhao smiled and hugged his daughter in his arms, and his wide sleeves were pulled up slightly, revealing the bracelet on his wrist.

The emperor immediately noticed the bracelet and asked, "This is what your grandmother gave you?" ”

She looked at the emperor's eyes with surprise and nodded, "Does the emperor remember that the concubine once said that the old lady is not a hard-hearted person, and when the affection comes, she will naturally approve of me." ”

"Zhaozhao, you're so nice." The emperor held her and her daughter in his arms, and his breath was a little excited.

Zhuang Zhao hugged Ah Ling with one hand and hugged him with the other.

She replied softly to him in her heart:

I'm not good, you're good, you're good to me.

As the prince's first birthday banquet approached, the palace gradually became busy. Half for the first birthday, half for ...... The aftermath of the Empress Dowager.

Although it can't be announced, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the days of the empress dowager are really short.

In the past, I could barely use some soft food, but later I could only use some liquid food.

Mama Zheng served her with red eyes and finished serving her with the medicine, and felt sorry for her and said, "Niangniang is too bitter!" ”

The Empress Dowager hooked the corners of her mouth, opened her mouth and spit out a few words: "After I leave, you, out of the palace." ”

Mama Zheng knelt down all of a sudden, tears flowed without money, "Wherever you go, the slave and maid will go." If you go, the slave will go to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb for you! ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head, gasping for breath, unable to speak, and patted off the bed hatefully.

Seeing her like this, Mama Zheng softened again, wiped her tears and said, "Slaves and maids listen to you." Don't talk, it's right to take care of it. ”

The Empress Dowager closed her mouth with confidence and smiled contentedly. (To be continued.) )
