Chapter 137: The Princess
There were a few sporadic people, but she couldn't name any of them.
Shi Xu was waiting for her at the gate of the palace, and Jiang Moxi took Si Qing step by step towards the harem where she had set foot many times.
Taking advantage of the dazzling sunlight in the sky, Jiang Moxi raised her eyes and looked at the palace in front of her, she had already arrived at the gate of Chaoyang Palace.
Plain white satin can be seen everywhere along the way, and when he really arrived at the gate of Chaoyang Palace, Jiang Moxi intuitively felt the solemn and desolate meaning.
There are quite a few people in it, and it can even be said that there are a lot of them.
Before entering the Chaoyang Palace, Jiang Moxi vaguely saw a group of people kneeling in front of the spirit.
None of them were wearing plain mourning clothes, which made Jiang Moxi's heart feel a little heavier.
Walk into the Chaoyang Palace with your feet up.
There was silence inside, no one was saying anything superfluous, everyone was concentrating on paying tribute to the queen.
No matter what is going on the inside, it's okay on the surface.
Jiang Moxi's nervousness disappeared mostly, and no one looked at her.
Letting go of Si Qing's hand supporting her, Jiang Moxi found a cushion where no one was there and knelt down.
She has not paid attention to it, and she does not know what the emperor's attitude is in the days when the queen dies.
But there should be an emperor on an occasion like today. But Jiang Moxi looked left and right, but did not find the emperor's figure.
Unconsciously, Jiang Moxi was a little more suspicious of the emperor.
Si Qing was waiting for her outside the hall, and the people who were crying and mourning in the hall at this time were all figures with heads and faces in the court, and perhaps the emperor had long lost patience with the queen, and he was not even willing to make a scene after her death.
Today's all this seems shabby and not like the funeral of a mother of a country, there is no funeral procession and no stop to go to court because of the queen's death, as if the queen's death is insignificant, everything has not changed in the slightest because of her departure.
Only the eunuchs were there the whole time. The emperor didn't show up from beginning to end, but Jiang Moxi didn't care, she only wanted to hurry back to the regent palace after holding the memorial ceremony.
What the attitude of the emperor and the empress is, it is not within her scope of concern, she just needs to ensure Mo Guli's safety.
It's just that today's events are full of the emperor's attitude. Jiang Moxi was already thinking about whether to tell Mo Guli what the Empress said to her that day, and after hesitating for so long, Jiang Moxi was just thinking about the relationship between the emperor and Mo Guli, and whether the words with the Empress were credible.
But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable after all, with their relationship, if the emperor really kills Mo Guli one day, and Mo Guli is not half guarded, he will definitely not be able to escape.
At today's funeral of the queen, everyone present noticed that something was wrong, but no one dared to say it, and they all paid tribute to the queen's spirit card one by one.
The more you know about this kind of thing, the more wrong it is, what the emperor thinks is his business, they have too much curiosity, but they will get into trouble.
And after all the sacrifices were over, Jiang Moxi couldn't wait to leave the palace.
As he walked out from a remote position on the edge, Jiang Moxi suddenly heard a faint and fragile cry.
The immature cry made Jiang Moxi can't help but be attracted to the past, and she has no resistance to this kind of child's cry now.
Xu remembered his unborn child, and Jiang Moxi walked over step by step with compassion for the child.
But in the most remote corner of the entire hall, if Jiang Moxi hadn't gone to find it, I'm afraid no one would have found out that there was still a person hiding here.
What caught his eye was a slender and thin back, Jiang Moxi saw that this child was very angry, and he had not found this person in the palace before.
I wonder which official brought the child when he came to pay tribute to the queen and accidentally got lost.
The words came out softly, "What are you crying there for?" Are you lost? ”
When Jiang Moxi said this, there was a little imperceptible maternal brilliance in the words that she didn't even notice herself.
When the boy heard someone behind him, he stopped crying.
It seemed that she wanted to run, but where could she run in this remote corner?
Jiang Moxi saw her panic, and took a few steps forward, cautiously with a light coax.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, why are you here?"
The kid also seemed to believe Jiang Moxi's words. With a crying voice, he sobbed, "My queen mother has gone far away, and she doesn't want me anymore." ”
Just by saying this sentence, Jiang Moxi understood who she was.
But he was still patiently asking, "Where did your queen mother go?" Maybe she'll be back in a moment. ”
Jiang Moxi's words were so gentle that the child forgot his initial vigilance, and then said, "Mama told me that the queen mother... The queen mother went to a far away place on her own, and it was a long time before she could return. ”
As she spoke, as soon as the child turned around, Jiang Moxi also saw her face.
The little face was full of childishness that had not grown, and the eyes were red from crying, and the hair was not tied up. The whole person is like a little madman.
Hearing this, Jiang Moxi didn't understand anything, but it was just the grandmother next to this child who bluffed her.
And the identity of this child does not need to be questioned anymore.
The eldest princess of Yong'an ----- Mo Ying.
Jiang Moxi knew about this person before, but it has always been rumored that the eldest princess is weak, and the queen mother was born prematurely when she gave birth, so this princess has not left her body since she was born.
She hadn't shown her face a few times in front of people, and Jiang Moxi didn't recognize her until this time.
"Then let's wait for the queen mother to come back, okay? Don't cry anymore. ”
Jiang Moxi took out a handkerchief and wiped Mo Ying's tears, and took out a sugar pill from the space like a trick, this was the last time Jiang Nan brought it to her, Jiang Moxi put two in the space easily, who knew that it came in handy at this time,
Mo Ying is a child in the end, she doesn't know the grievances of adults, and she is only attracted by the candy in front of her at the moment.
Reached out and took the candy handed over by Jiang Moxi, and stuffed it into his mouth, his bulging side face was like a hamster stealing food.
In addition, the child is young, and the baby's fat face is even more cute, Jiang Moxi is rare.
But if you look closely, there is still a little gap with girls of the same age, and that little face is still slender.
When I took it, I didn't forget to thank Jiang Moxi.
"The orchid is in Youzhu, Andeyang is fragrant, Mo Ming."
Jiang Moxi thought of her name and read this sentence in a low voice, but Mo Ying understood something, he only focused on fighting with the piece of sugar in his mouth, and only heard two crisp sounds twice, and Mo Ying bit the piece of candy.
Squinting his eyes, his whole face is straining.
Jiang Moxi sighed when she saw this scene, this child was still too young to understand what that sentence meant, and she would not know that her mother would leave forever and never come back, and she was glad that she didn't know, so that she could avoid a lot of suffering and grief, even if she knew it in the future, she would not be so sad as it is today.
"What's my sister's name? How did you get here? ”
After Mo Ying finished eating the sugar, he also looked at Jiang Moxi in front of him.
Seeing this, Jiang Moxi sighed without sighing, the child's happiness and sadness, it really came and went quickly.
"Sister, it's the regent princess, it's your imperial aunt."
Jiang Moxi didn't hide it from her, and generously told her identity, and Mo Ying on the other end also called the imperial aunt sensibly.
Looking at Mo Ying's ignorant and cute appearance, Jiang Moxi couldn't help but stretch out his finger and hook her nose, and the child didn't hide.
"Let the imperial aunt call me old, just call me my sister like just now."
Jiang Moxi proposed with a smile, and Mo Ying was also well-behaved and obedient, "Sister." ”
Suddenly, Jiang Moxi remembered the day before, the day the queen was dying, and asked her to take care of the princess.
At the time, she said yes, but in retrospect, she was not sure about the child in her womb. There is no queen's handiwork in the accident.
After all, no matter how you look at the queen, she looks like the most suspicious person.
Even if Mo Ying is well-behaved and cute, and her life experience sounds distressing, if the queen is really the murderer who killed her child, then she has to think about it again.
"That's good. ”
The farther and farther his thoughts drifted, but Jiang Moxi was pulled by Mo Ying at this time.
came back to his senses and asked softly.
It's hard to draw conclusions now, let's take one step at a time, and even if she wants to raise the princess, it's still a matter on the emperor's side.
And Mo Ying didn't seem to have any other meaning when he pulled Jiang Moxi, but seeing that Jiang Moxi hadn't come back for a long time, looking at the little girl's soft and dependent gaze, Jiang Moxi's heart softened.
Reaching out and touching Mo Ying's head, Jiang Moxi couldn't help but sigh. It's so cute to have such a big child.
His hand suddenly stopped on Mo Ying's head and he was stunned.
"Little children..."
Jiang Moxi unconsciously muttered these words, and suddenly remembered that the queen said to herself with a sad face that day, Mo Ying was her only biological child with the emperor.
And it was only after giving birth to Mo Ying that the emperor was detected that he did not move, which made the emperor think about finding someone to have sex with the queen and have a prince.
At that time, although Jiang Moxi was a little unacceptable in terms of morality, there was still no flaw when he thought about it, but now that he saw Mo Ying's age, it would be much wrong to think about it again.
She didn't know how old Mo Yiqu was this year, but the only thing she was sure of was that she must be older than Mo Yiqu.
Then since she is older than Mo Ying, in the queen's words, the princess who is bigger than Mo Yiqu will never be Mo Ying.
She couldn't tell which of the queen's words was true and which was false.
But it's useless to think so much now, is Mo Ying born to the emperor or not? There is something else hidden in the middle, in the end, there is no big conflict of interest with her, only there is Mo Gu in this story, which is worth her bothering to take a look.
"Who will take care of the princess in the future?"
Mo Ying was only eleven or twelve years old, and he thought that he was either in the palace or taken care of by Mo Yiqu.
Combined with what the queen said before, Mo Ying must be in crisis in the palace, and it should be taken care of by Mo Yiqu.
Jiang Moxi thought so, but Mo Ying shook his head and said, "The queen mother bought me a mansion in Beijing, and also told me not to always disturb the prince's brother." ”
Naturally, the queen would not rest assured that all of Mo Ying's retreat roads would be entrusted to outsiders, and she also left Mo Ying with one last hand.
She kept enough silver taels for Mo Ying to live in the rest of her life, and a mansion in Beijing was enough for her to live a good life.
In fact, if the emperor still has a little bit of father-daughter affection for Mo Ying, naturally he doesn't have to go to such great lengths to find a way for the princess of a country to survive in the future.
But I'm afraid just in case.
Jiang Moxi's eyes when he looked at Mo Ying at this time were full of emotions that Mo Ying couldn't understand, Mo Ying didn't understand or understand, let alone knew how difficult it would be for her in the future.
And by this time, Jiang Moxi already had some belief that most of what the queen said about Mo Ying that day should be true.
It's just that Mo Ying's matter is enough to prove that it is true, and Jiang Moxi doesn't dare to judge the others.
"The princess will move out of the palace in the future and have her own mansion, if you are bored, you can find your sister to play with you."
Jiang Moxi's gentleness at the end of his eyes stunned Mo Ying.
Just like an innate affinity, children are more sensitive to the distinction between good and evil, and Jiang Moxi's purposeless approach also attracted Mo Ying's favor.
