The old people in the capital have been seen again, and the people who came to congratulate have been received, this time has come to the end of October, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Jiang Xiaoyu has already changed into a small jacket.

Jiang Fu is still cold and indifferent, with Jiang Xiaoyu's current identity, no one will cause trouble, but she herself often closes her door in order to be quiet. The third aunt took care of the Jiang Mansion in an orderly manner, and with the support of Jiang Xiaoyu, it turned out that the henchmen left by the eldest lady surrendered one by one. However, the third aunt is smart, she has never deducted Jiang Youran's treatment, whether it is food, clothing or monthly money, it is more generous than before, and when the weather is cold, she will send Jiang Yiran some clothes to eat, and the third aunt is more generous than the eldest lady, so her prestige and reputation in Jiang Mansion are good, and this is a matter of time.

And Jiang Yuan has some complaints about the third aunt, because although the third aunt is capable, but important things generally have to be discussed with Jiang Xiaoyu, so that he is not a husband in his heart, and he regards the third aunt as Jiang Xiaoyu's person, but he is more and more indifferent to her, there are few aunts in this house, and now only by staying at the sixth aunt every night can he find some comfort.

There are three major events happening in Beijing, one is that the results of the scientific examination have come out, this time Lao Cheng is very serious about the scientific examination, and he has strictly put an end to the scene of fraud, so most of them are young talents with real talents. It's just that there is one thing that makes people feel a little surprised, this time the champion and the role model were arranged by the officials to serve in a remote place, which makes people scratch their heads.

Another thing is that the princess of Chen Guo and Heqin has almost arrived at the border pass, and the second prince Zhao Yan personally went to greet him, and earlier there was a rumor that His Majesty was ready to fulfill the marriage between Princess Chen Guo and the second prince, and now it seems that this rumor is true! However, between the virtual and the real, it is difficult for people to understand His Majesty's thoughts.

The second prince committed His Majesty's taboo, so although the last prince had a meritorious role in blocking the dog down at the border pass, he almost died on the battlefield, but His Majesty seemed to have skipped this stubble, and did not mention his affairs at the border pass at all, and he was not even rewarded for his merit in exterminating the Cardinal Sect. Everyone was in a wait-and-see state, could the two princes have fallen out of favor, but as soon as the marriage came out, it didn't seem to be the case...... His Majesty's mind is really not something that ordinary people can fathom.

During the period after returning to the capital, Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling each had too many things to do, so they didn't have much time to meet, and Wu Qian returned to Kunlun to help Liu Ruli refine the antidote after sending Jiang Xiaoyu back to the capital and making sure that she was not in danger.

On the first day of October, Jiang Xiaoyu's mood was particularly low, this day was not another day, it was his mother's birthday, there was something that had been delayed for so long, and now it was time to do it.

Mother's birthday, she didn't even have a place to pay tribute, some secrets of the year were not made public, but those wounds do not mean that they do not exist, those rot and filth hidden under the calm, as if tearing the wounds, will be turned out of the old memories one by one, and re-examined one by one under the sun. Crimes or grievances will once again be made public.

Every time he thinks of what happened to his mother, Jiang Xiaoyu's heart can't help but tingle, the beauty who moved the capital back then became close friends with the queen and the princess of Chu, but married a man who was not outstanding, and finally did not get rid of the fate of being let down and used.

Her mother has become more and more blurred in her memory, her beauty, her temperament, her talent, just her smile, the warmth in her eyes, but it will never disappear. Although she was still young when the incident happened, she also knew all the circumstances clearly, knew her mother's disappointment and pain, and knew the despair and sorrow of a woman whose love was broken, and she finally chose to use her life to protect her reputation and the order in her heart.

Connecting the pieces of evidence together, the truth will slowly emerge clearly, and what Jiang Xiaoyu has to do now is to take a thread that threads the pearl. It's a pity that some key people died too early, and there are always some regrets in it.

Also on this day, I remembered a lot of things and the queen, because today is not only Jiang Xiaoyu's mother's birthday, but also the birthday of the first queen, that is, the birthday of the queen's aunt.

She remembered that when she was drafted for the first time, it was her aunt who personally led it to Emperor Zhou, she never dreamed that this man she used to call her uncle would become her husband, she never dreamed that she would fall in love with him, and then did irreparable wrong things, she never dreamed that this man she had loved for half her life had never looked at her directly, he could give her the most noble status in the world, but he was stingy with a trace of affection for him.

She sometimes wonders who is the person His Majesty loves? Aunt or himself?

Although she is the queen, her maiden family was almost killed ten years ago, a queen who has no relatives and no sons, and a queen who is willing to love him and is not smart enough, is what he needs.

The third prince, the son of the lowliest palace maid, was sent to her by His Majesty ten years ago, when she was just over twenty years old.

She knew that she would never be able to have a son of her own in her life, and she envied that although her aunt was dead, she once occupied an important place in His Majesty's heart, and even now, every time His Majesty came to see her, it was as if he wanted to see something else from her, and that look made her afraid!

"Auntie, Your Majesty is old, you have gray hair, and you and the prince are being mentioned more and more!" The queen drank a glass of wine and smiled dismally, "I used to think that I could be a stand-in, but now I understand that he doesn't need a stand-in at all!" My life has ended since the day I entered the palace, and the rest of the days are just desperate waiting, auntie, should I thank you or hate you? ”

At this time, the palace people entered the inner hall and reported: "Niangniang, the third prince is here!" ”

The queen snorted, regained her usual majesty, and said lightly: "Remove the wine!" Please come in, the third prince! ”

"Yes!"

After a while, the third prince in a silver robe entered, and he saluted obediently and smiled: "Erchen has seen the queen mother!" ”

"Let's get flat!" The queen said lightly, "What are you busy with these days, I haven't seen you for many days!" ”

"Naturally, I'm busy with the wedding!" The third prince smiled, "This wedding date has been set, and the queen mother needs to worry more about this future thing!" ”

"It's good that these things are called this palace, you are the prince, you should be busy with some serious things, and handle the things that Your Majesty has entrusted you!" The queen taught, "I heard that you have been spending the night in Fengxi Palace for the past few days? It's only a few days before the wedding, and you can't help it? You can't help it, you have to let people see it, although you are an unmarried couple, you still have to pay attention to some influences! Besides, how can you, a good man, covet women! ”

"Erchen knows!" The third prince smiled disappreliantly, he suddenly approached the queen and sniffed, "No wonder the queen mother is angry today, is she drinking?" I knew that the queen mother was in a bad mood today, so I wouldn't have come to be trained! ”

The two are not close to mother and son, this kind of action seems to be intimate, although the queen is the mother of the country, but the bed was a few years ago, she was in her early thirties, at this moment the man's Qixi Festival came, she turned her head a little shyly, the pair of eyes that were better than His Majesty, made her slightly distracted, and her face turned red.

"What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Why do you blush? The third prince smiled in his eyes, "Do you need to call the imperial doctor?" ”

The queen hurriedly came to her senses and hurriedly said, "No need, I just drank a few more glasses of wine, and I have a little face!" ”

"What is the queen mother doing drinking in the middle of the day? Is there anything bothering you? The third prince still maintained his posture, spraying the warm breath in his mouth into her ears, "Is there anything that can relieve the worries of the queen mother?" ”

The queen hurriedly said with a straight face: "Nothing! Just pay attention to everything you say and do! ”

"Erchen keep it in mind!" The third prince smiled slightly.

After all, he is not his own son, and the queen has no position and identity to discipline the third prince, so she let him go down after saying a few words lightly, as for what happened today, she just thought that she had drunk too much.

The third prince had no intention of retreating, he looked at the queen with a smile and said, "The queen mother will drink too much today, and the sons can guess what's going on!" Today is the birthday of the first queen, although no one in the palace dares to mention her anymore, but there are always people who remember her, right? Even Erchen still has a deep memory of her, a beautiful and kind woman, it's a pity that she ended up like that! ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" The queen frowned.

"What Erchen wants to say is that no matter what happened back then, it has passed, and the future is in his own hands!" The third prince smiled slightly, "The queen mother and her sons are in the same boat, but there is no room for maneuver!" Although the son and the queen mother are not biological mothers and sons, the lives of the two of us have long been tied together! ”

"Since you can't go back, you can only keep going, no matter if it's a cliff or hell ahead!" The queen smiled faintly, "The third prince doesn't need to be reminded, this palace understands better than you!" ”

The third prince's eyes narrowed slightly: "Erchen didn't remind the queen mother again, Erchen just didn't want to live like before!" ”

The queen thought for a while and said: "The weather has also cooled down, you go and see your mother, you haven't been there for several years, although she didn't give you a noble identity, but she gave you a life!" ”

"The son has only one mother!"

"Although this palace is the mother of the world, it can't give birth to a son as big as you!" The queen sneered, "Your Majesty has always valued filial piety, you go to see your mother to comfort her heart, and then you will come to see your father!" A completely heartless person, your father will also be afraid! ”

"The queen mother reminded me that the son will arrange it immediately!" The third prince said, "If the queen mother has no other instructions, the sons will retire first!" ”

The third prince left from Fengqi Palace, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared without a trace, and the gloom in his eyes became thicker and thicker.
