153, mother and grandmother
As night falls, the lights come on. Xia Xing and Xia Han walked on the silent palace road, surrounded by palace envoys illuminated by lanterns, followed by Bi Tao, Bing Ning, and Bijak. After seeing Bato at the palace gate, the Beihai Wang's family had returned directly to the house, Tao Jin and Di Tai followed the sand skateboarding, Bingwen and his son left, the two of them temporarily lived in the National Teacher's Mansion, and the Wu Bangsha was sent to settle Lu Wan and Xiao Dezi.
The disposal of the disposal, the reunion of the reunion, the arrangement of the arrangement, Xia Xing and Xia Han can finally go back to their home. The two are now ready to go directly to their mother's Le Palace, because their father Emperor Wang Yuan has been living there to recuperate since he fell ill, and after seeing the two of them and sharing their thoughts together, they will go to He'an Palace to pay homage to their grandmother and concubine, and finally they can go back to the palace to rest.
Tomorrow morning I will definitely go to worship my ancestors, and there are other matters that need to be discussed with the national teachers and courtiers. Since entering Xiangping, the two of them will be in a hurry to do everything. After a short walk, the Le Palace arrived, and the palace envoy waiting in front of the door saw Xia Xing and Xia Han hurriedly running into the palace to report, "Queen, queen, it's back, it's back, the prince and princess are back." ”
Yuling raised her head with teary eyes, "You're back?" Who do you say is back? The palace envoy said: "Back to the queen, prince and princess, now that the people have arrived at the palace gate, the slaves are the first to come to report, and your grooming Kung Fu little highnesses will come in." Hearing this, Yuling hurriedly helped the bed to get up, knelt in front of the bed for a long time to take care of Emperor Yuan, so that her body was a little stiff, and her legs kept trembling when she stood up, and the whole person shook.
The palace envoy hurriedly held Yuling, "Queen, are you okay?" Don't worry, you sit down first, and the slave will go and get you the grooming utensils. Yuling grabbed the palace envoy and said: "You don't need to take it, you don't need to freshen up, the mother just sees her child, so she doesn't need to be so grand." You help me out first, and in the afternoon Bato also said that they are back, and this palace is going to see if you have lied to me, for so long, in a foreign country, they have come back well. Come on! Don't be stunned, hurry up, you really didn't lie to Hongu, did you? ”
"No, no, slave don't dare." "That's good, hurry up and go to the concubine and say that they are back." Yu Ling and the palace envoy were talking, Xia Xing and Xia Han had already walked into the main hall of the Le Palace, Xia Xing just wanted to send the palace people to pass Yu Ling, and when she looked up, she was helped out by the palace envoy. The three of them faced each other so suddenly, and then began to look at each other silently, Yuling trembled and asked, "It's you." ”
Xia Xing patted his chest excitedly and said, "Queen Mother, it's me, it's me, Xia Xing!" My second brother and I are back, and it's really us. When Yuling heard Xia Xing's voice, as if frightened, she shrank back, and then looked at Xia Han in a panic, as if she was confirming repeatedly.
"Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xia Han took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to help Yuling, but Yuling suddenly became excited when he saw his movements, as if he had determined that it was really two people, alive, and began to pull the palace envoy and shout: "That's right, it's them!" You didn't lie to me, you didn't lie to me, don't be stunned, hurry! Go decoction, go now! Bring me the medicine maid to decoction, where is Pu Ming? ”
Bi Tao: "Miss, you ......" palace envoy: "Yes, yes, queen, slave go immediately." Seeing this, Xia Xing hurriedly paced to Yuling's side, pulling her and calling non-stop, "What's wrong with you, Queen Mother?" Queen Mother, I'm Xia Xing, I'm back, Queen Mother ......" Yuling grabbed Xia Xing's hand with her backhand, pulled it down and said, "Yes, I know you're back, but do you know how long I've been waiting?" I boiled my heart to death, and you just arrived in Xiangping, do you know that if you delay any longer, your father will die, ah! ”
"Are they all dead? How many times do you want me to say it? I said boil medicine, boil medicine, boil medicine, don't go quickly! After yelling at the palace people who were with her, Yuling grabbed the female official Yin Yin again, "Noted, this time according to the prescription, be fast, Sen can't hold on, hurry up and find Pu Ming for me, hurry up and find Pu Ming for me, hurry up, let him come to Sen for treatment." Leaving aside the female official, Yuling hurriedly ran to the dormitory again, "Sen, you can finally drink medicine......" Xia Xing saw Yuling leaving, and shouted urgently: "Queen Mother!" ”
"Xia Xing!" Xia Han held Xia Xing's hand to pull Yuling at the same time, and shook his head at her. Xia Xing looked at Xia Han in disbelief, "Queen Mother, how can this be?" What's going on? Xia Han patted her on the shoulder and said, "The eldest brother left suddenly, and the father vomited blood and fainted in anger, let alone the queen mother?" She still has to take care of her father, and she doesn't even have time to be sad for her eldest brother. ”
"The pain and fear that one has left and the other will leave are intertwined, and the queen mother has endured a lot, and no one has to talk about it, and her heart has become fragile and sensitive, and she cannot be stimulated. Little sister, don't think about it, here, there should be no one who will assassinate the queen mother, otherwise I will never spare it, the one who did it to my family again and again. Aunt Bitao, you go to accompany your mother, don't let her boil herself down. ”
"Okay, Your Highness, my aunt will go." Bi Tao nodded quickly, and hurriedly went to find Yuling. Xia Xing looked at the apse worriedly and said, "What now?" Xia Han sighed and said: "Go directly to your grandmother, there are some things that only your grandmother knows, after all, Uncle Beihai has been away for a while, and you have to ask the national teacher about the affairs of the court, and you still have to find your grandmother for things in the palace." ”
"It seems that I won't see my father today, let's go, it's not too early." Xia Xing straightened his wrinkled sleeves and walked out, Xia Han took one last look at the apse and turned to leave. At the door, Bing Ning and Bijak, who were waiting, were very surprised to see Xia Xing and Xia Han come out so quickly, "Princess ......" and "Prince ......" Huh? What about Aunt Peach? The two looked at each other in wonder, and hurriedly pulled a few palace envoys to follow.
He'an Palace, the concubine was very happy to see Xia Xing and Xia Han, and she kindly pulled the two of them and didn't want to let go, shh After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough and cared about the journey, they began to get to the point, "Xia Han, the mourning family has already made an appointment with you with the historian Hemtor and the ceremonial official Maybach, and they will enter the palace after dinner to discuss with you about worshipping ancestors and ascending the throne tomorrow." ”
Xia Han: "Ascending the throne? Xia Xing: "Tomorrow?" Both of them were surprised, both staring at the concubine with a pair of big eyes like the deep sea, one couldn't figure out why his father was still here, and the other was shocked at why the speed was so fast. In Xia Han's thoughts, he has always entered the court as the crown prince, rectified the internal affairs of the dynasty, and made a move for the country and the people, although in order to achieve this goal, he will try his best to persuade Emperor Yuan to authorize him and give him support regardless of the reason, but he never thought of succeeding to the throne.
In Xia Xing's thoughts, she knew that Xia Han would become the new emperor of Beiyan sooner or later, after all, the eldest brother Xia Yan had died, and his father was the only one left. Especially when she returned to Xiangping, the behavior of the national teacher gave her a signal, that is, Xia Han would succeed to the throne soon, but she never imagined that it would be so soon, just tomorrow! According to her estimates, she had to wait until the court was stable, her father woke up, found out the murderer of Xia Yan, and disposed of the king of Zhongzhou.
Now like this, the father has not woken up, the government and the opposition have not been decided, and the king of Zhongzhou and the king of Beihai are still in charge of the regents. If you want to talk about the most happy Xia Han in the world to be the lord of Beiyan, Xia Xing should be one of them; The one who is most concerned about the stability of Xia Han's throne and the public opinion is Xia Xing is also one of them. Just because the two understand each other and trust each other, Xia Xing knows that Xia Han will cure Beiyan, and he also knows that he will let himself show his ambitions, and he also knows that the feelings between the two of them who have supported each other all the way in China and shared hardships are deeper than anyone else.
The concubine smiled and nodded, "Yes, tomorrow, Xia Han will succeed to the throne as the lord of my Northern Yan." And the youngest girl in my Puyashi family also has something to do. Don't panic or be nervous, you two listen to your grandmother slowly tell you, the reason why you choose this way is because your father's body is no longer good. Since the past two years, he has relied on you Uncle Lin Wang and Xia Yan to run around for him, so ah, as soon as Xia Yan left, he couldn't stand the blow, and this menacing injury consumed his last bit of anger. ”
The concubine turned her head to look at Xia Han and said: "The country can't be left without an owner for a day, your father can't get up, after discussing with the national teacher, the mourning family decided to wait for you to come back, and then set up a succession ceremony." On the way back today, the national teacher has been ventilated with all the adults, because the time is urgent, everything is simple, and the extravagance and ritual system are restricted, and the currency envoy, the capital envoy, the ceremonial official, the historian and the national teacher have been preparing for a month, and now they are all completed, just waiting for tomorrow. ”
"Xia Han, you can go back to the palace now. Heimtor and Maybach must have been waiting for you in the Taiji Palace, and they will explain the process to you in detail tomorrow, when the mourning family will bring the edict prepared by your father in advance to the ancestral temple to read it, and the national teacher and the king of Beihai will cooperate with the ministers to support you to succeed to the throne. The concubine took Xia Han's hand and patted it, "Go, child, you can't rest tonight." ”
Xia Han got up in a daze, looked at Xia Xing, and then looked at the concubine. Concubine: "The mourning family knows that you are not ready, but who can know tomorrow?" Isn't it all like this? Xia Xing nodded at Xia Han with affirmation and encouragement, and Xia Han said clearly: "I know what I should do, grandmother, grandson retire." The concubine watched Xia Han leave with a smile, until she couldn't see the little black dot anymore, then turned around and pulled Xia Xing and said, "Now the mourning family will tell you what you are going to do tomorrow." ”
Xia Xing smiled and nodded, "Grandmother, let's go to the couch and talk slowly, I'll sleep with you tonight." "Oh! A girl who doesn't grow up! It's been more than ten years in the blink of an eye, but the mourning family has seen you born, and they have also watched the lion eagle auspicious clouds drift away, which is also the origin of your title, accompanied by auspicious birth. ”
