Chapter 22: The East Garden

Since she learned what her own mother looked like from King Yong, Tong Yan didn't think about asking about A-Niang's life.

But apart from King Yong, she didn't know who else to ask.

But when she thought of King Yong's crazy eyes when she mentioned A-Niang, she was a little scared, and the words turned and turned around in her mouth, and she still swallowed them in her stomach.

She felt that Princess Yong must know, but except for the first day she came, she was quite enthusiastic, and then she was very cold, and she didn't know where she offended the princess.

Mrs. Liu is a madman again, Aunt Lu has never shown up until now, and when she asked Qingzhi and the others, they didn't know anything.

I didn't expect the Queen Mother to know Ah Niang, and it seems quite familiar to look like this.

The Queen Mother kept holding Tong Yan's hand with a smile and asked Tong Yan to ride with her.

Tong Yan was very frightened, and excused herself: "A junior in Zhaoyang, how can he ride with the imperial grandmother." ”

"Eh, I said okay, that's natural, those ministers can't control my head. If you displease me, it will be unfilial. The queen mother's phoenix chariot was very wide, and the palace maid helped her to sit up, she raised her eyebrows and patted the empty space next to her with a smile, and beckoned to Tong Yan: "Come on." ”

The palace maid who led them into Renshou Palace, seeing that Tong Yan was still hesitating, glanced at her, and said with a smile: "The county lord should go quickly, the elder can't give up." ”

Tong Yan pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, the palace maid looked like this, smiled and helped her sit next to the Queen Mother.

"Up." The chamberlain shouted, and the mighty crowd walked to the east with the Queen Mother's Luan.

Xu is always looking at the palace maid Tong Yan, the queen mother pointed with a smile, and said, "This is the Jiyu girl next to me, isn't it very capable?" ”

was discovered by the Queen Mother, Tong Yan's face was slightly red, and she nodded: "The people around the imperial grandmother are capable. ”

The Queen Mother laughed, "You're right, you can't do it and you can't get to me." ”

Ji Yu, who was walking on the side of Feng Yuan, said with a smile: "That's the slave maid who is blessed to come to the queen mother's side, and there are many capable sisters, but they are not as lucky as the slave maid." Xu is in the previous life, Niangniang is an immortal in the sky, seeing that the slave maid has done more good things in her previous life, with a wave of her hand, the slave and maid are fortunate to be able to serve the maid in this life.

The Queen Mother smiled happily and said angrily: "You monkey, it's really nonsense, how can I become an immortal, don't let the real immortal hear it, so I can punish you." ”

Ji Yu stiffened his neck, looking righteous and resolute, "Niangniang is such a good person, even if he was not an immortal in his previous life, he must be a living Bodhisattva, and the immortal will not come to punish the slave and maid, and it is too late to reward the slave and the maid." ”

"Oh? Honoring you? Why should I reward you? The Queen Mother was surprised and looked at her in confusion.

Ji Yu's words were chiseled: "The slave maid serves the mother of a country, and the example of all the women in the world is naturally meritorious. ”

After that, the palace maids and attendants next to them all covered their mouths and laughed.

Tong Yan couldn't help laughing, this Jiyu is really a wonderful person.

The Queen Mother stroked her palms and laughed, and only wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes after a while, and said angrily: "You monkey, it turns out that you are waiting for me here, this is a reward for me by changing the law!" ”

She stroked her chest, slowed down and said: "Okay, depending on your performance today, if you perform well, you will be rewarded, not only Jiyu, everyone will be rewarded!" ”

The palace maids and attendants looked at each other, their eyes were full of joy, and looking at Ji Yu's eyes, they were becoming more and more different, and they all said loudly and respectfully: "Slave and maid thank you for your reward." ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, leaning on the phoenix and nodding slightly, which was very comfortable.

A call and a hundred responses really make people feel comfortable, Tong Yan sits next to the Queen Mother, and also has an inexplicable sense of honor.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so happy, she didn't want to mention A-Niang's matter again, so as not to disappoint the Queen Mother.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother slowed down for a moment and took the initiative to mention it to her.

She sighed, took Tong Yan's little hand, and patted it gently, "You, you look very similar to your mother, especially the eyes, they are really beautiful." ”

She looked at the wide alley in front of her as if she couldn't see the end, and then murmured: "I still remember the first time I saw her, it was on this road, she wore a dress of the same color as you, with a few round and bright winter pearls on her head, and saluted me with a smile, I don't know if the sun is too bright and the east pearl is too dazzling, or her smile is too bright and bright, so I can't open my eyes." ”

Tong Yan swallowed her saliva, why did the Queen Mother's demeanor also look a little stunned, she regretted it a little, and silently asked herself if she shouldn't mention A-Niang, she couldn't help but play the small drum in her heart and was a little scared.

The Queen Mother was stunned for a while, turned her head to look at Tong Yan and smiled: "Your father, didn't I tell you about your mother?" ”

"He showed me the portrait of A-Niang, and nothing else, he didn't say." She shook her head ignorantly.

The Queen Mother bowed her head and sighed: "Yes, your father has always had a deep affection for your mother, and it took two or three years just to accept her passing." ”

"I guess, I'm afraid you don't even know what your mother's name is, right?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Tong Yan nodded again and again.

The Queen Mother chuckled, "Your aunt is the young lady of the Zhao family, and her nickname is a soft word." ”

She looked at Tong Yan's ignorant expression and explained: "The Zhao family is the Pingyang Hou family, and your mother is the young lady of the Pingyang Hou Mansion." ”

Tong Yan nodded, it turns out that A-Niang is also from a big family, but the young lady of the Hou Mansion can't be the prince's wife?

In confusion, I heard the Queen Mother continue: "I heard that when I went to that county to find you—"

"Feng County." Tong Yan reminded

"Yes, yes, Feng County, when I go to Feng County to find you." The Queen Mother nodded again and again, "The Hou Shizi of Pingyang also followed, did you see him?" That's your cousin. ”

"Oh-" Tong Yan suddenly realized, yes, that man seemed to be Pingyang Hou Shizi, at that time she patronized and quickly left that nightmare place, and she didn't ask in detail, she didn't expect it to be her cousin, no wonder she went with Daddy.

It's just that no one told her later?

"But you can't call him cousin when you see him, and you can't recognize the Pingyang Hou family clearly, you have to remember it firmly." The queen admonished her solemnly.

"Huh? Why? The more Tong Yan listened, the more confused she became, why couldn't she see the light?

The Queen Mother frowned and said perfunctorily: "Anyway, you just remember what I said, some things are the privacy of the older generation, not your younger generation." But privately, you can still walk around with Pingyang Hou, you know? ”

This was a bit harsh, and Tong Yan felt aggrieved, so she could only nod her head and dare not ask again.

Seeing that Tong Yan was well-behaved and obedient, the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, her smile didn't last long, and she said in amazement: "You and Zhao Rou are neither like nor like, she has never been as obedient as you, although she is delicate and delicate, and her name is also soft, but she is lively and cheerful, kind and righteous, she has been stubborn and wanton all her life, only once she listened to the words, but that time she was buried for life." ”

The more Tong Yan listened, the more confused she became, what the hell was this talking about.

The Queen Mother's mood was obviously low.

Where is this, Tong Yan was confused, she wanted to comfort the Queen Mother, and she didn't know where to start, what was going on with her aunt, why was she buried for life?

Ji Yu accompanied Luan Jia and heard their conversation clearly, since the Queen Mother did not carry her, it means that it is okay for her to listen to this, after all, she is the Queen Mother's person, and she will never say anything outside.

She was exquisite, her little brain turned, and she smiled and comforted: "Niangniang, forgive the slave and the maid for being too talkative, this Miss Rou, since she was born beautiful and kind, she must be the reincarnation of the flower fairy, and she came to cross the catastrophe, but this is a mundane thing, and she will naturally go back to heaven, you see, she is not afraid that you and the prince will be sad, and she specially left a little flower fairy to accompany you and the prince." ”

The Queen Mother listened, glanced at her, and did not speak.

Tong Yan listened, and secretly pinched a handful of sweat for Jiyu: Jiyu, Jiyu, don't you know, my aunt will collapse and die of depression because I was abducted. ”

Ji Yu saw that the Queen Mother and the Lord of Zhaoyang had complicated expressions, and only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly lowered her head and said no more.

For a while, except for the footsteps of the palace people and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, it was very silent.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, leaned on the backrest expressionlessly, breathing steadily, and didn't know whether she was taking a break or thinking.

Tong Yan didn't dare to come out, so she could only stare straight ahead with her eyes and sit upright.

Fortunately, I arrived at the East Garden soon.

Ji Yu and Tong Yan both sighed.

The East Garden is very magnificent, and it is very grand and wide.

The two sides of the road are planted with tall and luxuriant trees, the queen mother's guard of honor shuttles leisurely, and walks to the front hall in a mighty way, only to see the hall is tall and strong, and the gold is brilliant.

Ji Yu first helped Tong Yan get off the phoenix, and then the two helped the queen mother down together.

The Queen Mother straightened her clothes, smiled, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

She took Tong Yan's hand and did not go to the front hall, but led everyone to the back of several halls.

What Tongyan didn't expect was that behind this was a big garden, with Yaotai jade, strange stones, and flower springs, which was breathtaking.

The Queen Mother looked at Tong Yan's surprised and admiring expression, and said with a smile: "How is it, is Dongyuan very beautiful?" ”

It's more than just beautiful! Tong Yan nodded again and again.

After a lot of turns, the queen mother led a group of palace people to an unusually wide field, the desks on both sides of the south side of the venue were already full of people in brocade clothes, and on one side of the field, there was a group of young talents carrying bows and arrows, and they took the BMW from the hands of the chamberlains.

In the wide pavilion at the top of the center of the field sat a man in a yellow robe and a woman in the same color, and behind them sat some richly dressed women.

As far as the eye can see, there are many palace maids standing inside and outside the pavilion.

Tong Yan had never seen such a big battle, and she was a little timid for a while.
