This night, due to Lu's physical discomfort, Tong Xue had dinner at the Hanmei Pavilion.

Early the next morning, she took Cai Qing to the Rising Sun Hall to say goodbye.

My father was there.

Not only that, but the mother was dressed in a formal suit with solemn makeup on her face.

Tong Xue's expression was grim, and she bowed on her knees, "My son greets my father and mother, is my mother feeling better?" ”

Lu stepped forward to help Tong Xue up, raised his hand to straighten the bun on Tong Xue's head, smiled and said gently: "I'm fine." After finishing speaking, he turned back to Tong Jingxuan and said, "Husband can go." ”

Tong Xue frowned slightly, "Mother, where are you going?" ”

"Go and say hello to your grandmother." Lu said lightly, walking side by side with Tong Jingxuan.

After a while, the three of them came to Nuancang Hall.

When Mrs. Dingyuan saw Tong Jingxuan, her eyebrows were raised first, and then she saw Lu dressed in formal clothes, her eyes suddenly brightened, and without waiting for Tong Jingxuan and others to salute and greet her, she first began to say in a cold tone: "How to dress like this?" ”

It was obviously a concerned word, but he made an indifferent look on his face.

Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis has always been such an awkward personality.

Lu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to give Mrs. Yuanhou a greeting, and replied softly: "Back to my mother, I want to go to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager to say goodbye." ”

Mrs. Dingyuan's eyes were like arrows, and she suddenly looked at Tong Jingxuan.

"What are you doing here?" She suddenly raised her voice and shouted at Tong Jingxuan.

Tong Xue was shocked by Mrs. Dingyuan's reaction, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her.

"Take the big girl down first." Mrs. Dingyuan said to Mama Dong on the side.

Mama Dong said "yes", and said to Tong Xue with a respectful expression: "The eldest girl will go to the side hall with the old slave to drink a cup of tea and use some pastries." ”

Although she wanted to stay and listen to the inside story that she should not know, Tong Xue still obediently saluted Mrs. Tai and went to the side hall.

At this time, she missed the little starling a little.

However, this starling was not found in the abandoned hut at the time.

Tong Xue lowered her head and walked, thinking that Tong Shuang had not woken up yet, and the house was full of crises, and her face was full of gloomy clouds.

"Girl, come and try the plum blossom cake that Mrs. Tai made in the morning." Dong's mother presented a plate of steaming pastries and poured a cup of hot tea for Tong Xue to warm her stomach.

"Mama Xie." Tong Xue took the tea with both hands and put it on the table beside her.

Although there is a wall, the voice of the main hall is vague, but it is not real.

However, from the angry voice of Mrs. Dingyuan, Tong Xue guessed that the atmosphere in the main hall was probably tense.

Looking at this, the grandmother seems to have a particularly fierce reaction to her mother's entry into the palace?

In her previous life, in Tong Xue's impression, her mother never entered the palace until she died.

Could it be that there was really something between my mother and today? That's why grandmother strongly opposes mother's entry into the palace?

If Jinshang really once fell in love with his mother, according to his imperial dignity, how could he watch his mother marry his father?

Since his death eleven years ago, he has never had a queen, and since then the phoenix seal has been in charge of the imperial concubine.

In the previous life, until Tong Xue's death, I had never heard that the queen had been canonized separately, but the crown prince who came out successively was deposed due to misconduct.

At that time, she didn't know the inside story, only when the emperor and queen were in deep love, but the prince's behavior was too absurd, and he repeatedly touched the bottom line of today, and it was difficult to be the king of a country, so he was deposed by Jinshang, but now it seems that it is not the same thing.

Tong Xue picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then took a small sip of a piece of pastry.

After about a cup of tea, the dispute in the main hall came to an end, and Tong Xue was invited over by the girl.

"Ah Jin, you will stay in Nuancang Hall to accompany your grandmother this morning, and we will go back as soon as we go." Lu gently patted Tong Xue's shoulder and said with a gentle expression.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou sat in the circle chair, her lips tightened, and she seemed to be angry.

"The child is gone." Tong Jingxuan clenched his fists and solemnly saluted Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, followed by the Lu family.

"Daddy and mother go all the way. I'll be with my grandmother for the rest of my life. Tong Xue said goodbye to her parents.

Tong Jingxuan smiled at Tong Xue, touched her head, and then took the Lu clan and turned to leave.

Tong Xue watched the figures of the two disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and then turned her head.

"Grandmother!" She licked her face and called sweetly with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis first snorted coldly, then sighed heavily, and said to herself, "What am I sighing with you as a child!" ”

Tong Xue said with a serious expression: "Ah Jin is not small, the conspiracy of the eldest princess of Yuanjiang is what Ah Jin discovered. ”

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou suddenly looked at Tong Xue fixedly, and with a wave of her hand, she sent all the girls and mothers-in-law down.

Tong Xue was a little uncomfortable by the blazing eyes of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, and said, "Grandmother, but Ah Jin said something wrong?" ”

"You said you dreamed of your mother...", Mrs. Dingyuan really didn't know how to say the rest to a ten-year-old girl.

"Yes. My son had three dreams. Tong Xue saw that Mrs. Dingyuan Hou had a hesitant look on her face, and couldn't help but straighten her face, and looked at her firmly.

"Three times?"

Tong Xue nodded.

"The first time, at my grandmother's house, I dreamed that my mother drank a bowl of decoction and medicine, and her lower body was bleeding. Then he hurried back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and bumped into Cuizhu. ”

"There's no poison in that pastry!" Mrs. Dingyuan Hou snorted coldly.

The matter of Cuizhu was just a reason for the Su family to find an excuse to provoke the relationship between Mrs. Dingyuan and the Lu family, and she did not hit the Lu family in the stomach at that time.

Tong Xue nodded, and said calmly: "It is indeed non-toxic, so my granddaughter had a second dream." Subsequently, the Emerald incident occurred. ”

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou looked at Tong Xue steadily, as if she wanted to see through her soul through her clear and transparent pupils.

After a long time, just when Tong Xue thought that Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis would say something else, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis suddenly beckoned to her and asked her to sit on the pestle in front of her.

Tong Xue obediently sat down in front of Mrs. Dingyuan Hou.

"I only now understand your mother's hard work." Mrs. Dingyuan Hou smiled bitterly: "I used to think that your mother was too doting and indulgent to you, but now I feel that maybe that is suitable for you." ”

Tong Xue was a little confused about what Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis said.

Mrs. Dingyuan Hou sighed, "I guess you can also guess that the Holy Lord has affection for your mother. ”

Tong Xue did guess, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis would talk to her about it in person.

"Your mother's parenting style is a little different from that of the lady in Beijing."

Tong Xue already knew that these were all because her grandmother was from a border city and acted informally, and her grandfather was bent on defending against foreign enemies.

"Your father and your mother met at a horse race, and we've seen each other a few times since." Mrs. Dingyuan Hou recalled the past, and her eyes also showed a trace of sadness, "One day, I was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother, and I have been dead for a year. ”

"The queen mother's face sank, I thought it was a conflict between the mother and son, who knew that after returning home, your father knelt in front of me and your grandfather that night, saying that he had a favorite girl, please agree with my second elder, and send the official media to the Weiyuan General's Mansion to propose marriage on a later day."
