Chapter 218: We were very happy to see each other
Li De, the chamberlain who has been serving by the Empress Dowager's side for many years, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Concubine Huixian coming, and hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said: "Concubine Xian, you and His Royal Highness King Ding are here, but the ancestor has been talking about you for a long time, and the slave will lead you in." ”
Xie Yaoguang, who stopped a few steps away from Ye Linchen and the others, looked up at the plaque on Changle Palace, and Changle Weiyang ...... Ancestor, your aunt is back. After cutting off the messy thoughts, Xie Yaoguang lowered his eyes and took a few steps back, as if he didn't want to move forward.
Out of the corner of his eye, Li De caught a glimpse of Xie Yaoguang standing behind Ye Linchen and Concubine Hui, and his face was happy.
"This is Princess Ding." After Li De bowed and saluted, he said softly with a smile on his face: "You and Concubine Huixian and they come in with the slaves, and the old ancestor has been talking about you?" ”
Li De, who has served in the palace for many years, has never seen any kind of nobleman, and he can see at a glance that the identity of the woman in front of him is unusual. And it was brought over by Concubine Huixian, maybe it will be Princess Ding in the future, so that there can be a special treatment.
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Raising his eyes and looking at Ye Linchen, he saw that the other party was as surprised as himself, so he had no choice but to lower his eyes and say, "There is Father-in-law." ”
Li De nodded and led a few people into Changle Palace. There was a strong medicinal fragrance in the Changle Palace, and the palace maids in the palace saluted the three of them in unison and turned to the back of the inner hall.
I saw the silver-haired Empress Dowager lying on the couch, and Empress Xu and Concubine De standing on one side. Xie Yaoguang's eyes fell on the Queen Mother, who was lying on the couch and drowsy, and a trace of sadness gradually appeared in her eyes.
"Empress Dowager, look who's coming." Empress Xu smiled and glanced at Ye Linchen Sandao.
"Let Lone see." The Empress Dowager leaned on the pillow with the support of the palace maid, looked at Ye Linchen and the others, showing a little joy on her face: "Linchen, are you finally willing to take that little girl to see Lonely?" It's been a long time since you've been here, please be ......."
When the words fell, there was a dead silence in the hall, and Ye Linchen's thin lips pursed slightly, and there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes when he looked at the empress dowager.
"What's the matter, you two are still shy? Come forward and let me, old bone, take a good look at you two. The Empress Dowager smiled and beckoned to the two of them, signaling them to come forward and speak.
The two glanced at each other, and after their eyes met for a while, they thought for a moment and finally walked slowly to the queen mother's couch and knelt down and said, "May the ancestors be happy for a long time." ”
personally helped the two of them up, the empress dowager looked at Xie Yaoguang with a smile, touched her hand and smiled: "My fair girl is really getting more and more beautiful, just like your mother" said and looked at Ye Linchen and said solemnly: "Linchen, you are blessed." If you can marry this girl, you can't bully her...... Otherwise, I can't spare you. ”
"Go back to the ancestors, the grandson doesn't dare." Ye Linchen was stunned for a moment before he said slowly.
"Well, my fair girl, if this kid dares to bully you. You go into the palace to complain to Lone, and Lone will be angry for you. The Empress Dowager looked at Xie Yaoguang and Ye Linchen with a smile, and the more she looked at it, the more happy she became, and said, "When will the two of you be able to give birth to a great-grandson to your ancestor?" ”
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang looked embarrassed and lowered his head, not daring to look at the Empress Dowager again. But no one knew that at this time, a drop of crystal was slipping from the corner of Xie Yaoguang's eyes, and disappeared on the placket in an instant. And the Empress Dowager only thought that Xie Yao was shy, and tried her best to hold her in her arms and shouted her heart and liver baby.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager had been looking at her, Ye Linchen hurriedly took Xie Yaoguang's hand and said, "It's almost there...... You can rest assured ......"
"Look at these two people who are so shy......" The Empress Dowager smiled at the surrounding Empress Xu, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian.
The Empress Xu who was present really didn't dare to take the Empress Dowager's words, so they could only echo and smile: "Yes...... They're both shy. ”
"Okay, don't be shy. Cai He went and fetched my phoenix dew. The Empress Dowager's eyes were full of smiles, and she looked at Xie Yaoguang, who was still hanging her head, and smiled: "I said I wanted to give it to you at the beginning." ”
Cai He, who was standing on the side, answered the sentence, turned to the dresser, took out a brocade box, and handed it to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager opened the brocade box and took out the hairpin inside, and the hairpin was headed into a phoenix with a jasper tassel under the mouth of the hairpin.
After playing with the hairpin in her hand for a while, the Empress Dowager sighed, her eyes showed a little nostalgia, and then she inserted the hairpin into Xie Yao's light hair, and said softly: "This hairpin was given to Lone by Emperor Guangwu when he was the queen." Now that the lonely is older, this hairpin is no longer needed, so it is better to give it to you. You're young and beautiful, and you're definitely good-looking. ”
Xu Hou, whose eyes flickered, stared at Feng Ninglu. Everyone knows that Emperor Guangwu and the Empress Dowager have a deep love for each other, and how many times they have shared weal and beg.
After Emperor Guangwu succeeded to the throne, he didn't know where to get a piece of blood jade, the blood jade was like a phoenix, and after a little polishing, Emperor Guangwu gave this phoenix condensation dew to the empress dowager as a token.
She hadn't seen the Queen Mother wear it for so many years, and she actually gave it away so easily today? Or to a stranger......
"This ...... Things are too valuable. I didn't dare to put it away. Xie Yaoguang just wanted to take off the hairpin from his hair, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager.
"Okay, you look good with this hairpin." The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's not too early, you all go down if you're lonely."
"Yes, please take care of your health, Ancestor"
After making sure that the Empress Dowager had fallen asleep, several people left in turn. Xie Yaoguang sighed, still took out the hairpin from the hairpin, put it back in the brocade box, and muttered: "Ancestor, this hairpin is your beloved thing, you better keep it." ”
When she was young, she and Ye Linchen ran to Changle Palace whenever they got into trouble, relying on the love of the Empress Dowager and avoiding a lot of punishment from her grandfather.
One day, when she and Ye Linchen came to Changle Palace again, the Empress Dowager was playing with Feng Ninglu, and when she saw that she also liked Feng Ninglu a little, she said, When you grow up, the ancestor will give you this hairpin. At that time, she just thought it was a joke, but she didn't expect that after many years, her ancestors still remembered the original promise.
Not long after he walked out of Changle Palace, Li De caught up and said, "His Royal Highness the King Ding, Princess Ding." The Empress Dowager has just instructed the servants to inform you that the two of you will come to Changle Palace to have dinner with her later. ”
Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it seems that he can't get rid of it no matter what.
"Got it"
Glancing at Xie Yaoguang and Ye Linchen, there was a hint of surprise in Xu Hou's eyes. After a moment, he hid his surprise, pursed his lips and smiled, "Even if this is the case, this palace will not leave Xie Qing." It's rare that the Empress Dowager is so happy today, and the palace doesn't want to ruin the happiness of her family. ”
I don't know what's wrong with the Empress Dowager, she actually said so many things today, and even regarded Xie Yaoguang as the little girl of the Gu family back then, and the older she gets, the more confused she becomes.
