Chapter 133 The World
Ask for a commuter pass
………………
Ji Xiaotang felt a chill behind him, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.
"The queen mother likes Xuan'er, which is the blessing of Xuan'er, and it is also the blessing of me and the prince. When the queen mother's body is healed, Xuan'er will grow up and be more sensible, and the prince and I will definitely bring Xuan'er to greet the queen mother. When the time comes, don't be afraid that the queen mother is diligent in us. ”
Ji Xiaotang is talking about the future, who knows how long it will be later? Moreover, who can really know about you in the future.
"Xiaotang just can talk and please me." Empress Dowager Han smiled, her eyes rose slightly, but there was a flash of light inside. "It is my blessing that your mother and son can come often. Don't talk about Xuan'er, even if you can come and talk to me more, I will feel comfortable and live a few more years. ”
"If the queen mother says so, then I must come." Ji Xiaotang smiled, but his eyes looked at the Empress Dowager Han carefully.
Seeing Empress Dowager Han with his own eyes, Ji Xiaotang understood the meaning of Qin Zhen's words. Today's Empress Dowager Han is still dressed very delicately and meticulously, and she has rouge on her cheeks. However, such a careful dress still couldn't hide the haggard on her face.
Empress Dowager Han has lost weight, her cheeks are much sunken than in the past, and the two nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth are more profound and mean.
Moreover, even if Empress Dowager Han always had a smile on her face, that smile never reached her eyes.
Just like these kind words said by Empress Dowager Han, they were just the voice in her throat and eyes, not from her heart. And this is not a description, but the impression that Ji Xiaotang gets.
Empress Dowager Han was hating her. Counting on her.
Today, the Empress Dowager Han let her enter the palace for the purpose of her, so even if she did not follow the will of the Empress Dowager Han. Empress Dowager Han didn't dwell on Xuan'er's issue, so she let it go gently.
Sure that Empress Dowager Han was going to deal with her, Ji Xiaotang's heart became more stable. She sat on the embroidery pier, not only her demeanor was calm, but her heart was also quiet and relaxed, so she asked how the Empress Dowager Han's condition was and what medicine she took every day.
But Empress Dowager Han was obviously reluctant to talk about these topics.
“…… The old men of the Tai Hospital have just left. I've been annoyed by them, and finally you're here, and I'm about to say something happy......"
"I just care about the queen mother's body. The queen mother doesn't want to say, so I won't ask. Ji Xiaotang immediately stopped talking.
Subsequently, Empress Dowager Han really chatted with Ji Xiaotang about her family, and even asked her which mooncake she ate during the Mid-Autumn Festival. How does it taste compared to the mooncakes given by the palace?
The topic of the Mid-Autumn Festival was discussed. But Empress Dowager Han didn't mention Changning a word.
Empress Dowager Han didn't mention it, but it didn't mean that she didn't have this matter in her heart, and it didn't mean that she forgot about it. But since Empress Dowager Han didn't mention it, Ji Xiaotang naturally didn't mention it.
The two chatted like this, as if they were ordinary mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of ordinary people, but Ji Xiaotang always had a strange sense of disobedience in his heart.
Ji Xiaotang felt that Empress Dowager Han was waiting for something.
After about half a cup of tea, Yang Pianpian hurriedly came in from outside. Salute the Empress Dowager Han, and then walk to the side of the Empress Dowager Han. Leaned down~ leaned down and whispered something in the ear of the Empress Dowager Han.
Empress Dowager Han's face changed slightly, and while listening to Yang Pianpian speak, her eyes turned to Ji Xiaotang.
Yang Pianpian also glanced at Ji Xiaotang out of the corner of her eye.
The content of Empress Dowager Han's gaze is complex and difficult to speak, but Yang Pianpian's gaze is easy to understand. Yang Pianpian's eyes were full of ~ malice.
After Yang Pianpian finished speaking, Empress Dowager Han waved her hand and asked her to stand aside.
"Xiaotang, you...... You and I will come to the study for a while. As she spoke, Empress Dowager Han stood up. She got up slowly, but she paused halfway through, as if her body was a little unstable.
Yang Pianpian was quick with her eyes, and she took two steps forward to support the Empress Dowager Han.
A trace of chagrin flashed in Empress Dowager Han's eyes, but she quickly covered it up. And Yang Pianpian's movements and expressions were very natural, as if this was just her usual service to the Empress Dowager Han, rather than finding that the Empress Dowager Han was unstable.
Ji Xiaotang also got up.
Empress Dowager Han smiled and stretched out a hand to Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang stepped forward and held the arm of the Empress Dowager Han.
"Good boy." Empress Dowager Han said with a smile, the bodies of the two were so close that Empress Dowager Han had to raise her eyes slightly to see Ji Xiaotang's face clearly.
"Xiaotang seems to have grown taller again."
This sentence almost blurted out.
Ji Xiaotang was already tall, and Empress Dowager Han's stature was not short, the two stood together before, Empress Dowager Han and Ji Xiaotang's heights were similar, but today Empress Dowager Han suddenly found that Ji Xiaotang was much taller than her.
"I was seen by the queen mother, after giving birth to Xuan'er, I grew taller, and my original clothes didn't fit well." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
Just as Empress Dowager Han discovered the height gap between the two, Ji Xiaotang also discovered it. However, she didn't think that it was entirely because she had grown taller again, that Empress Dowager Han had become shorter.
Maybe Empress Dowager Han didn't notice it herself, even if she straightened her waist, her back was still a little hunched.
Empress Dowager Han is indeed old, although she has been carefully maintained for so many years, she looks much younger than women of the same age, but what happened one after another ~ still hit her seriously.
Empress Dowager Han is body is decaying, just like the thoughts in her heart.
Ji Xiaotang and Yang Pianpian helped Empress Dowager Han into the study and sat down on the couch behind the bookcase.
Empress Dowager Han waved her hand and sent all the people serving in the study out, leaving only Yang Pianpian and Ji Xiaotang.
Yang Pianpian took a few steps back to the side and stood still, but Empress Dowager Han did not let go of Ji Xiaotang's hand and motioned for Ji Xiaotang to sit down beside her.
The embroidered pier next to the Empress Dowager Han can be sitting, but the Empress Dowager Han's chaise longue ......
This is not an ordinary bed, since Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, Empress Dowager Han was in power, almost all major events in the world. It was all decided by Empress Dowager Han sitting on this couch. Compared with the dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace, in the Longqing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Han's chaise longue was the real center of power.
This couch. It has always been the Empress Dowager Han who sits alone, and no one has the honor to sit on this couch with the Empress Dowager Han.
Now, Empress Dowager Han wants Ji Xiaotang to sit on this couch with her, but Ji Xiaotang does not think that this is what Empress Dowager Han did unintentionally.
Ji Xiaotang stood still and did not move.
Yang Pianpian on the side raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at Ji Xiaotang meaningfully. This time, in addition to malice, there was also a hint of ridicule in his gaze.
Yang Pianpian's appearance. It seems that he is going to see Ji Xiaotang's jokes.
Ji Xiaotang didn't turn around, and he couldn't see Yang Pianpian's expression, but Yang Pianpian's malice seemed to have turned into substance. So that even if she doesn't turn around to look, she can vaguely feel it.
Ji Xiaotang refused to sit on the couch of the Empress Dowager Han.
"Xiaotang, you are a careful child." Empress Dowager Han didn't let go of Ji Xiaotang's hand, "You know that not everyone can sit on this couch." But they couldn't sit still. but you sit. ”
"This ordinary family, as an elder, has accumulated some things all his life, can he still take them to the soil when he is old? Naturally, it is all reserved for the younger generations. I will also leave these things to others. ”
"The heavenly family is naturally different from ordinary people, and the things I want to leave to future generations are also different......"
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Han paused and looked at Ji Xiaotang meaningfully.
"Queen Mother's ......"
"Xiaotang, sit down. If you stand like this, I will always look up at you. It's not like you're being filial to me. Filial piety and filial piety, such a trivial matter, can't you obey me? Empress Dowager Han pulled Ji Xiaotang's hand, and then let go, just pointing to the seat beside her.
Empress Dowager Han, this is obviously to let Ji Xiaotang choose by herself.
And from her words, Ji Xiaotang also understood that what Empress Dowager Han asked her to choose was not simply whether to sit down on this couch, but also the power represented by this couch.
Ji Xiaotang still stood still, and Empress Dowager Han also stopped talking, as long as Ji Xiaotang didn't sit down, she wouldn't continue to talk.
Ji Xiaotang thought about it, as if he had figured out something, his eyebrows stretched even more, and he slowly sat down beside the Empress Dowager Han.
"Naturally, I had to listen to the Queen Mother. The queen mother has a gift, and I dare not refuse. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
"Good, good!" Empress Dowager Han said two good words in a row, and her eyes fell on Ji Xiaotang's face even more deeply.
"I'm getting older and less useful. Your Majesty's knees are empty, and this palace is too lonely. Your Majesty's body and bones, I will hide it from others, but I will not hide it from you and Zhen'er......"
"Your Majesty likes Xuan'er very much, and I like Xuan'er very much. I treat you like my own daughter, Xuan'er is your own child, and I see Xuan'er getting closer and closer. …… All the good things that my Majesty and I have, this whole world...... If you don't give it to someone you like, will it be left for someone else? ”
At this moment, there are only Yang Pianpian and Ji Xiaotang in the room. If someone else was present, listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Han at this moment, I was afraid that I would have been shocked. This is not an ordinary old man talking about how to distribute the family property behind her, the Empress Dowager Han is talking about the world and the country.
This is clearly showing Ji Xiaotang that Empress Dowager Han wants to inherit Xuan'er to the throne of Emperor Longqing.
However, there was no one else in the room.
Yang Pianpian is completely a qualified palace maid, no matter what the Empress Dowager Han says, as long as she doesn't tell her, she just stands with her hands down, as if she didn't hear anything.
And Ji Xiaotang ......
Ji Xiaotang, who should have been very excited, was very calm, and there was almost no change in expression on his face.
Of course, this is only the surface, Ji Xiaotang's heart is not calm.
Empress Dowager Han's eyes never left Ji Xiaotang, and she seemed to be a little dissatisfied when she saw Ji Xiaotang's calm appearance.
"Xiaotang, these, all of these will be yours in the future, you, Zhen'er and Xuan'er." Empress Dowager Han accentuated her tone and said again.
"Thank you for the love of the queen mother, the things of the queen mother, to give us, we will naturally receive it. If we don't give it, we won't fight. As long as the queen mother is happy, the rest is trifle. Ji Xiaotang's gaze moved slightly, as if he had been thinking for a while, and then said with a smile.
Ji Xiaotang's subtle change in expression fell into the eyes of the Empress Dowager Han.
Empress Dowager Han was very satisfied.
Empress Dowager Han thought that she knew Ji Xiaotang. Although Ji Xiaotang is still young, he has a deep city government, and he is completely able to do it without showing his face. However, in the face of such a huge temptation~ bewilderment, Ji Xiaotang still couldn't help but be moved.
Such a light expression is already very rare in Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang was moved by her.
Of course, Ji Xiaotang will be moved by her, this is the society of the country, and it is the supreme status and power in the world. Mrs. Han smiled behind her, but there was a chill in her heart.
Ji Xiaotang has been deceiving her, it is precisely because of Ji Xiaotang that Changning was rejected by Qi Younian and had to go to the north to make peace, and it is precisely because of Ji Xiaotang that Changning wanted to return to the Central Plains but failed, but the blood stained outside Zhenshan Pass.
Empress Dowager Han didn't think that Changning really wanted to lead the northern barbarians to invade the Central Plains. She believed that Changning was playing a trick with the Northern Barbarians, and the purpose was just to want the barbarians to send her to Zhenshan Pass, so that she could return to the capital from Zhenshan Pass and return to her side.
When Changning went to Zhenshan Pass, it was Qi Younian who wanted to defect.
After knowing the real cause of Changning's death, Empress Dowager Han once repeatedly read the war report sent by Qi Younian. There was not the slightest flaw in the battle report, but this did not convince the Empress Dowager Han.
In the heart of the Empress Dowager Han, she also depicted a scene of Changning's death in the chaotic army.
With Changning's temperament, after encountering the defenders of Zhenshan Pass, he will definitely identify himself to the defenders. But the two sides still fought, and the battle was very fierce.
What does this mean?
This shows that the defenders of Zhenshan Pass did not pay attention to Changning at all.
They didn't care about Changning's life or death at all, or rather, they didn't worry about killing Changning at all?
Even, they just want to kill Changning.
The defenders never have such great courage, and the only one who has this courage is Qi Younian.
Why did Qi Younian kill Changning?
Qi Younian is not a ruthless person, even if he doesn't like Changning and is unwilling to marry Changning as his wife, but he and Changning are still cousins and sisters, and they have been together since childhood.
The only one who can make Qi Younian kill Changning without mercy is Ji Xiaotang.
Qi Younian killed Changning for Ji Xiaotang. Because as long as Changning returns to the Central Plains, he will find trouble with Ji Xiaotang, and Ji Xiaotang will never have peace. Qi Younian may still hold a grudge against Changning.
Because Changning used to be unfavorable to Ji Xiaotang.
In these many days and nights, Empress Dowager Han's mind turned around, and finally ended up with a conclusion, Ji Xiaotang was the culprit of all this.
She wants to take revenge on Ji Xiaotang and take revenge fiercely.
took away everything from Ji Xiaotang and made Ji Xiaotang the same as her, no, it was more painful than her.
However, it is not easy to take revenge on Ji Xiaotang, although she can order to kill Ji Xiaotang, or even pass the word that someone will secretly take Ji Xiaotang's life, but she thinks that it will be cheaper for Ji Xiaotang to do so.
It's easy to kill Ji Xiaotang, but it's hard to make Ji Xiaotang more painful than her.
She thought about it day and night, but she still found the best way to take revenge on Ji Xiaotang.
Although Ji Xiaotang is indifferent on the surface, he is actually the same kind of person as her.
