Chapter Twenty-Five: Lying

The Queen Mother has been sick for two or three days, and she is not bad, she is angry, and her temperament does not disappear, and it is difficult to get better for a while.

She didn't allow her concubines to serve her illness, and Emperor Zhaoning didn't look at her when she was angry.

Zhao Ying only stepped into the Weiyang Palace on the third day of her illness.

Meixi was going to fetch medicine, and saw her under the porch, and saw that the little girl's eyebrows were stained with sorrow, as if she didn't intend to enter the door, so she stopped her steps and called out to the eldest princess.

Zhao Ying looked back, and the tails of her eyes were red: "Is the Queen Mother okay?" ”

Eyebrows were stunned: "Why is the princess crying?" ”

She sniffed: "I know it's because of my business, so I don't dare to come these days, for fear that the Queen Mother will see me, and the breath in my heart will become more and more blocked, but I really don't feel at ease......"

She lowered her head as she spoke, her shoulders shaking, suggesting that she might be sobbing at the moment.

Mei Xi naturally wants to coax people, but he still has the queen mother's medicine in his hand, and he is afraid of delay, and he can't stand at the door and pull people to comfort him.

So she wanted to enter the door, and invited Zhao Ying back: "The princess will know when she sees the queen mother, how can the queen mother be angry with the princess, when she sees the princess, she is only afraid that the illness will be half better." ”

Zhao Ying asked if it was true, and then stepped on small steps and followed Meixi into the door.

The Queen Mother's complexion is really not good, and she has been taking medicine for two or three days, but she is still sick.

In this dormitory, even half of the ice is missing.

As soon as Zhao Ying entered the house, she felt a little dry.

She raised her eyebrows: "The people of the Inner Mansion Division are getting better and better at doing things, why can't the ice be sent well?" ”

The Queen Mother beckoned to her: "I'm sick, and the people in the imperial hospital said that you should send less ice and not be greedy for cold." ”

Zhao Ying's eyebrows stretched, stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, took the white porcelain lotus bowl in Meixi's hand, and wanted to feed the queen mother.

The Queen Mother pushed her hand and told her not to do it with a smile: "Where have you served someone and sprinkled my body with a decoction?" ”

Zhao Ying blushed, and then stepped back and made way for Meixi.

The Queen Mother looked at her while taking medicine: "The corners of these eyes are red, have you cried?" ”

Meixi helped on the side: "Just before entering the door, the princess stood under our porch and cried, saying that you and the emperor were angry, all for her, she was worried about you, and she was afraid that you would see her, and the more angry she became, she didn't dare to come to ask for peace." ”

A bowl of black potion quickly bottomed out.

Xiao Gong'e came with a plate of hawthorn, and the Queen Mother pinched two, one in her hand and one in her mouth, so that she could suppress the bitter taste of the medicine.

When he finished eating, he took one hand and pulled Zhao Ying again: "Stupid or not?" What does this have to do with you? ”

"I've heard people say that my father was angry because you wanted to choose a horse for me, and he had a big fight with you, which made you angry."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Who did you listen to?" ”

In fact, she knows it in her heart.

The emperor finished her things and left, and the news spread that day, and the palace was full of uproar.

She was angry, but if she hadn't deliberately spread the news for the emperor, she wouldn't have been angry like this!

The emperor told the palace that no one should worry about making a fuss about Zhao Ying's marriage, whoever dares to mention it will be unlucky.

Even she, the queen mother, has made a fuss like this, the people next to her?

Scold.

She raised a good son.

But she originally thought that Zhao Ying's Shangyang Palace might not hear these gossips, and the emperor should hide it from Zhao Ying whenever he wanted to make a face.

Zhao Ying pursed her lips: "It's all spread like this in the palace, I listened to two sentences, and then I met the second emperor's sister......"

She stopped at the point, but the Queen Mother knew it.

But this matter, it was really not her who wronged Zhao Wan.

Whoever called Zhao Wan owed his mouth, he had to provoke her.

Yesterday, Zhao Wan ran to Shangyang Palace, and almost pointed at her nose and scolded, saying that she was a bad star, and for her, the palace was full of restlessness.

Zhao Ying knows it very well.

In the previous life, when Emperor Zhaoning and the Queen Mother fell out, there were also such rumors in the palace.

said that she was a lonely star, and her family affection was thin, which was the lifeline of her blood relatives.

So the mother died early, Zhao Che got drunk and smashed her, followed by Emperor Zhaoning and the Queen Mother because of her.

It's just that she didn't understand it before, and even really doubted whether she was bad.

Those rumors, Emperor Zhaoning quietly cleaned them up, and Zhao Ying at that time, of course, would not have the heart to check them.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that I can't get rid of Liu Shuyi's mother and daughter.

Or, there is someone else behind her, otherwise Zhao Wan really has a brain disease and runs to Shangyang Palace to scold her.

"Did you hear these words outside, and when you saw Wanwan, she told you these things again?"

The Queen Mother's face was not good-looking, Zhao Ying shook her head: "Don't worry about this, I know it now, it's all for me." ”

Her little face was wrinkled and sad.

The Queen Mother gave Mei Xi a look, she understood, and led Xiao Gong'e to retreat.

Zhao Yingcai raised his eyes: "Do you have something to tell me?" ”

The Queen Mother held her little hand in the palm of her hand: "Your father feels sorry for you, and always thinks that you are still young and a child." Yuan Yuan, this man and woman are always different.

I hope that you will have someone by your side who knows the cold and the hot to accompany you and take care of you, but your father always feels that it is enough to have him, and who in this world can love you more than him?

You are his own flesh and blood, and he loves your mother so much, I am afraid that he can't look down on the men in this world, and he doesn't think he is worthy of you, so he has a dispute with me. ”

She said while patting the back of Zhao Ying's hand with her other hand: "This has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself for this." ”

Zhao Ying felt that she should have heard correctly.

With the words of flesh and blood, the Queen Mother paused inexplicably.

It's only for a moment, but it's too obvious.

So those four words are more like saying to the Queen Mother herself.

Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief and flattened the corners of her lips: "I told you earlier that I want to move out to live for a while, but you don't allow it, can I move out of the palace now?" ”

She has other thoughts, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the little girl is too self-blaming.

The Queen Mother's eyes were full of pity, of course, she still had to stay: "Where can you move to?" If you move out, your father will still be angry with me, and it has nothing to do with where you live. ”

Zhao Ying shook her head: "No, I know, you still want to choose a horse for me, and I also know that you and your father are frozen."

You just told me that, and I know all about it.

If you don't choose a colt for me now, in the future, as long as my father doesn't let go, you won't be able to ask about my marriage again.

This step, you won't let it. ”

The Queen Mother's fingertips trembled: "Yuan Yuan has really grown up, at this time last year, she was still a little girl who only knew that she was pestering me to eat melons, but this year she actually understands these truths." ”

Zhao Ying's heart also trembled, for fear that the Queen Mother would see the clues, so she lowered her eyebrows and said no: "When my cousin came to see me in the palace, she told me that my aunt asked my cousin to tell me these truths."

My aunt also said, living in the palace, you and your father are in a stalemate, if you have to choose a horse for me, you have to pass people into the palace to see you, then under your father's nose, this anger, I am afraid that there will be life.

But if I go out of the palace to live, you want me to see each other, and arrange it outside the palace, and only expose this matter on the face. ”

Zhao Ying's hand, which was not held by the Queen Mother, was hidden under the wide sleeve and pinched tightly.

She was nervous.

Facing the Queen Mother, who has been through ups and downs all her life in this deep palace, she will be more or less nervous.

It's because she doesn't want to deceive these people close to her who really treat her, but she has to lie lest she reveal clues.

After she finished speaking, there was a thin layer of moisture on the wing of her nose, holding her breath and concentrating, a heart, seven up and eight down, anxiously waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
