Chapter 37 The Empress Dowager
Qin Lei was picked up in a brand-new carriage, and under the escort of a team of Imperial Forest Army, he did not hesitate to make a tea. The car stopped.
Shen Qing opened the car door, and there were already two internal supervisors under the car, one brought Jindun, and the other bowed down and stretched out his hand to help Qin Lei get out of the car.
Qin Lei smiled and patted the shoulder of the inner supervisor who was going to make him a handrail, and said warmly: "My father-in-law has worked." After speaking, he stepped on the brocade pier and got out of the car.
In front of you is a tall palace, even if the surrounding lights are bright, you can only see the outline of the palace, and the gilt plaque hanging in front of the palace - Cining Palace.
Since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, all the kings of the world have set an example for the world with filial piety. If the emperor loses his filial piety, it is difficult to get a good evaluation after his death. The emperor is the lord of the world, but when the queen mother is still there, he still has to be obedient.
The Empress Dowager is the first person to honor in a country, and now Qin Lei is going to visit his grandmother, the most prestigious old lady in Qin, and the biological mother of Emperor Zhaowu of Great Qin - Empress Dowager Wenzhuang.
With a calm face, Qin Lei followed the inner supervisor who led the way into the palace gate, walked through the entire hall, and turned into the east wing.
The Queen Mother waited for his arrival in this wing room called the Yang Nian Pavilion.
The inner eunuch who had just taken the hand went in lightly to report, and after a while, he came out and whispered to Qin Lei: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother let you in." ”
Qin Lei smiled at him with gratitude, and even in the middle of the night, he could feel the sincerity in his smile. The inner supervisor was extremely useful, and when Qin Lei passed by him, he couldn't help but whisper: "The Queen Mother eats fasting and worships the Buddha, and she doesn't like to make noise the most." ”
Qin Lei glanced at him gratefully, nodded, and stepped into the house.
There was no light outside the room, and the lights were covered with yellow gauze lampshades, and the light was orange and soft. The furniture in the wing room is also plain in color, although the materials must be extremely rare, but the shape is simple, and there is nothing elaborately crafted. Even the cashmere carpet on the floor is simply embroidered with some moire. Under the yellow light, the whole room looks harmonious and natural, without the slightest imaginary extravagance.
In this room, the value of everything is restored to its original value. No matter how precious the material is, the chair is made for sitting rather than for viewing. It is also made into a carpet to step on, not to show off. A thing is a thing, not a status or identity.
Qin Lei had a glimmer of realization in his heart, this queen mother was an old man who had enjoyed boundless wealth, and then explored this wealth and no longer stuck to things.
These thoughts are not short, but they only take a moment. When Qin Lei saw the old woman sitting on the leisurely chair and looking at him with a smile, he took three steps and made two steps, came to the old man, pushed Jinshan to the jade pillar and knelt down.
He bowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "My grandson visits the imperial grandmother." "Prostrate, prostrate, prostrate, prostrate.
Hearing a 'Imperial Grandmother', since Qin Lei entered the house, the old woman's mood that had been very calm finally fluctuated, and she nodded and said, "Okay, get up, let the Imperial Grandmother take a look." The voice is soft, but not kind.
Qin Lei raised his head, already in tears.
In the dim light, a young man knelt at the feet of the old man, looking happy, but he couldn't stop crying.
What is in the world that breaks people's bowels?
The old lady's heartstrings, which had already been solidified, seemed to be gently plucked. She stretched out her hands, gently stroked Qin Lei's black hair, and looked at his handsome face. It took a long time to breathe a long sigh of relief, as if he was about to spit out the block in his chest with this breath.
The atmosphere in the house is a little weird, warm and quirky, and quirky and warm.
I don't know how long it took, but the old lady finally spoke: "Little Wu, get up and sit and talk." "The voice is much more intimate.
Qin Lei nodded and stood up. An old gray-haired eunuch served him a brocade pier. Qin Lei nodded and smiled at him before turning around and sitting down.
The Queen Mother nodded approvingly, and said to Qin Lei: "It has not been easy for you all these years, and I also heard about what happened a while ago. It's really unfair to you. What emotions do you have? ”
Feeling that her question was a little harsh, the old lady smiled kindly at Qin Lei, and said softly: "Say it, the imperial grandmother will support you." ”
Qin Lei knew that the old lady was referring to the fact that Qin State used him as bait to trigger a war between the two countries. He groaned slightly, and said softly: "Grandmother of the Emperor, I was indeed a little sad at first, but as the prince of Great Qin, it is my duty to dedicate myself to the country. After thinking about this, my heart is much more comfortable. ”
Qin Lei's answer was a bit unexpected by the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang, she thought that Qin Lei had been pledged for many years, and she must be full of resentment, but it was Qin Lei's tears that made the old lady think that this child was taking the route of grievances.
Now I see this child's moonlit and breezy appearance, and the attitude of the spring breeze. The Queen Mother seems to feel more pleasing to the eye.
She smiled and said, "Little Monkey, there is something to say." It's much more comfortable, but it's not very comfortable. ”
Qin Lei was slightly embarrassed and chuckled: "I really can't hide it from the imperial grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother's face was solemn, and she sighed: "Xiao Wu, this matter is not your father's original intention, don't blame him." ”
Qin Lei nodded solemnly and said, "The child has never complained about his father. I think my father is the king of Great Qin, protecting the world. There must be a lot of consideration, and you can't just do what you want. ”
After listening to Qin Lei's words, the Queen Mother's face became softer and softer, and she nodded: "It's rare that you have this thought, if your father knows, he will be grateful." ”
Qin Lei scratched his head and pleaded to the Queen Mother in a low voice: "Please don't tell my father the emperor, how can a son evaluate his father's reason." ”
The Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, and said with a kind smile: "Little things have a lot of eyes. If you don't say it, don't say it. ”
Qin Lei thanked him with a smile.
The grandparents and grandchildren chatted softly for a while about whether they were tired along the way, whether their grandmother was in good health and other unnutritious topics. But the atmosphere is getting warmer and warmer.
At this time, a picturesque female official stepped forward and reported softly: "Empress Dowager Qi, the female official in Jin Niangniang's palace has been wandering outside the door for a long time. ”
The old queen mother said 'oh' and smiled at Qin Lei: "Grandma is really old and confused, she forgot your own mother when she kissed her grandson, hurry up and go to see your mother." I'll talk to my wife another day. ”
Qin Lei said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother drove her grandson away, how dare she disobey her fate." ”
The Queen Mother scolded with a smile: "If you want to behave again, you don't have to go." Stay here and talk to my grandmother obediently. ”
Qin Lei hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said, "But I still want to see the queen mother, the noble concubine." He didn't say that he was going to see his mother, but he brought out those great gods.
The Queen Mother saw that he was young and chic, and his demeanor was natural. I loved it in my heart, but I feigned anger on my face: "If you don't leave, you don't have to go." ”
