"It's beautiful! But this is a gift from the Queen Mother to my grandmother, will you give it to me? ”

This jade bracelet is smooth and transparent, with a touch of red on the pale blue color, which looks warm and bright, and Wu Tianrou liked it at a glance.

"Grandmother is old, she can't wear such a bright jade bracelet, it's just right for you, you can take it."

Looking at Wu Tianrou with a happy face, Mrs. Wu nodded and waved her hand slightly.

Closing the small box, Wu Tianrou saluted Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu again, and then walked out of the room with Cuiqin and returned to Yunxiang Courtyard.

"Mother, is this really good? Isn't this jade bracelet a token that the Queen Mother made an agreement with you back then, and handed it over to Rou'er ...... like this? ”

Seeing Wu Tianrou's figure disappear outside the door, Mrs. Wu hesitated, but couldn't help but ask Mrs. Wu.

"I have my own considerations, you don't understand!"

Shaking her head at Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu swept away her loving and lazy appearance, and recovered her shrewdness and decisiveness.

"You don't know the current situation, my Wu family is now on the cusp of the storm, and if you are not careful, it will be a place of no return, and it is time for my Wu family to make a choice."

"That, Mother means ......"

Although she had already guessed it in her heart, Mrs. Wu still showed a hint of surprise.

"Well, just like you think, this is my decision with Yunyang. Of course, everything will go with the flow, and in the end, whether there is fate between them or not depends on the will of God. It's just that my Wu family has made my own choice. ”

Closing her eyes slightly, Old Madam Wu took out a string of tourmaline beads from her sleeve and twisted it silently.

Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Wu and stopped, and finally just stood up, saluted Mrs. Wu, and then turned around and walked out of the room.

Listening to the sound of Mrs. Wu walking out of the room, Mrs. Wu opened her eyes, looked at the screen in front of her for a moment, and then sighed softly.

"Rou'er, what Grandmother has done is for our Wu family, if your fate is not here, then Grandmother will not force your ......"

In the palace, there was a burst of laughter in the Funing Palace, where the Queen Mother was located, and several palace maids slowly lifted the curtains to enter it, put the plates in their hands on the small table in turn, and quickly retreated.

"Haha! You, ah, will make the mourning family happy. ”

The Queen Mother, who was in her sixties but well-maintained and did not look old at all, sat on the phoenix chair, holding a gold-painted handkerchief and smiling happily at the corners of her mouth.

"The grandson didn't coax the queen mother, it was indeed the case that day when he was hunting."

With a faint smile on his face, Situ Jingtian took a sip of the teacup, and then said with a serious face.

"Okay, okay, the mourning family doesn't know you yet, and you will speak seriously and coax people. But the mourning family knows, your filial piety and mourning family know that you are too silent, so that others will misunderstand your indifference. ”

Putting down the hand covering her mouth, the Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at Situ Jingtian, who had an indifferent expression, and sighed slightly.

"You said that with your temperament, how can it be good in the future. You are not young anymore, and it is time to choose a concubine, but you have always said that you are not in a hurry, and the emperor and queen are up to you, you are twenty years old and there is no intimate person in the house who knows cold and warmth, how can you let the mourning family rest assured. ”

"Queen Mother, why did you say that you are here again."

Helplessly, the corners of his mouth were curled, what Situ Jingtian was most afraid of was that the Queen Mother would talk about his marriage. thinks that back then, he used his military exploits in guarding the city at the border to exchange for his current freedom, so that he would not be forced to marry early.

"By the way, are you still taking the jade bracelet that the mourning family gave you?"

Waving her hand to signal the palace maid and eunuch beside her to retreat, the Queen Mother suddenly lowered her voice and asked.

"Don't worry, the queen mother, my grandson has been taking care of it."

I don't quite understand what the Queen Mother is doing when she mentions the jade bracelet, and she has to be so cautious, Situ Jingtian looked at the Queen Mother cautiously.

"You're not too small, and I think it's time for you to know something."

There are no outsiders around, and the Queen Mother no longer claims to be a mourner. She paused slightly, as if recalling something, and a smile appeared on her face.

"More than 40 years ago, when I had not yet entered the palace, Prime Minister Wu's mother and I were the best friends, and we were together almost every day, inseparable."

Seeing that the Queen Mother looked over, Situ Jingtian nodded, indicating that he knew what the Queen Mother said.

"Later, when I entered the palace, the number of times we saw each other gradually decreased. The day before I entered the palace, I divided this pair of colored jade bracelets in two, I kept one for myself, and the other was given to her as a token. ”

"Tokens?"

Immediately noticing the point, Situ Jingtian looked towards the Queen Mother.

"Yes, tokens, tokens of engagement. I was a teenager and naïve. I knew that there was a finger for marriage, so I thought about making a token to marry, thinking that if I had a son and she had a daughter, I would let the two get married.

Haha, it's ridiculous, I didn't even know that the prince's marriage was decided by the emperor. ”

Looking at Situ Sedum, the Queen Mother smiled softly, her face full of nostalgia for the past.

"Later, when I entered the palace, I learned the rules in the palace, and the old sisters and I all had sons, so I let go of this thought. Later, when I became the queen, I invited the old sisters into the palace to play, and Wu Yunyang was already the prime minister at that time. ”

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, I understand this, but I just can't let go of our old sisters' feelings, at that time we smiled and said, if there is a chance, I really hope that our grandchildren can get married and fulfill our wishes.

But we all know that we don't say anything about it, and then we make a private covenant when we encounter something. ”

"The Covenant? What does the Queen Mother mean ......? ”

Unexpectedly, the jade bracelet in his hand actually had a deep meaning, and Situ Jingtian's indifferent expression finally revealed a trace of strangeness.

"Yes, although I was the queen back then, Concubine Xiao's son was also very favored, and the emperor's health in the past few years has been getting worse and worse, and the battle for the prince is imminent. So we agreed that the position of the Wu family is royalist and will always be loyal to the emperor, but this emperor can only be my heir. ”

Nodding with a smile, the Queen Mother's face was full of pride and relief.

"It can be said that if it weren't for the strong support of my mother's family back then, and the support of the Wu family driven by my good sister, you and I would not be where we are today. Today's throne may not be anyone's! ”

"Royalist? So what is the Queen Mother mentioning this matter for? ”

Frowning slightly, Situ Jingtian didn't quite understand what the Queen Mother meant.
