And the old queen mother herself, who is about to usher in a big day, is rubbing mahjong with several concubines in the harem, and laughter overflows the entire garden, which is not at all like an autumn day with frost.

Since marrying into the palace, she has never left this golden cage.

If you really want to talk about it, it seems that she took the initiative to enter.

This advance is most of my life.

When the news of the death of the first emperor came back to Yicheng, the old queen mother was just stunned, and she didn't even shed a single tear, as if she had already prepared to see him, and began to arrange for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

There are a lot of things, very busy, like since she opened her eyes in the morning, there are redundant and large and small affairs, and even the dreams she has when she sleeps at night are full of concubines and civil and military ministers who want her to take ideas, forcing her not to be in the mood to grieve and mourn.

But after that stage, she lost her sadness.

It's just that occasionally I think of the first emperor, and I feel a little sour in my heart.

Why did he leave?

Not even a word about her remained.

What a man with little affection.

Then she shouldn't cry for him.

What's so good about this palace, provoking so many people to squeeze their heads and want to go inside?

The old queen mother made a canister and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit.

It's good or good, there are so many people who come and go as soon as they call, they all want to rub their hemp, try their best to lose money to her, and want to get some benefits from her, everyone has a clear purpose, how good!

No one wants to get affection from this cold place.

Affection is the cheapest and most dragging thing here.

But she was emotional.

The old queen mother broke up the game and sat alone in front of the window, the bronze mirror reflected the old face of her sideburns, she raised her hand and touched it, and sighed.

"Hongu is old."

"The Queen Mother is still young!" The eldest grandmother, who has been with the old lady, said with a smile.

The old queen mother kindly squeezed out a few ravines of the years: "He is still young!" ”

The eldest grandmother was silent, and the smile on her lips dropped unconsciously, she knew who the old queen mother was talking about "he", after so many years, there was such a person hidden in her heart, such a person who poked people's hearts.

"It's not a good match." The old queen mother looked at herself in the mirror, and suddenly a panic was born.

"He has been gone for so many years, and this son doesn't know which family he is going to, and he doesn't know if he is doing well, is it a marriage, and the girl he is talking to is not beautiful and lively?"

"There must be no queen mother!" The eldest grandmother opened her mouth and said.

The old queen mother laughed, laughed for a long time, and laughed so much that tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.

"Why do you think he's so ruthless? It's been so many years, and I don't even entrust a dream to this palace. The old queen mother said indignantly, but there was no resentment in her tone, and there was some coquettishness of a little daughter.

"I'm afraid of you, I always think about him, and I don't want to have a good time."

"yes, yes." The old queen mother reluctantly responded, glaring at the eldest grandmother: "I really don't know who you are on?" ”

"Naturally, it's from the Queen Mother's side."

"Listen to your nonsense."

The eldest grandmother smiled and didn't refute, but said: "In a while, it will be your birthday, and this son will definitely be preparing congratulatory gifts for you, and it will be lively and lively when the time comes." ”

"Well, it's been a long time since the palace has been so lively." The old queen mother put one hand on the arm of the eldest grandmother, and suddenly asked: "I heard that something happened to the eldest son of the Li family a few days ago?" ”

"Yes, Master Cui is gone."

"Lady Cui?" The old queen mother searched for this person's figure in her mind, and remembered in a trance: "Ah, Cui Shouzhi, why not?" ”

"I heard that I was in a hurry to attend the wedding banquet, and I was startled by the firecrackers set off by the child, and I fell off the carriage and died."

The old queen mother raised her eyebrows: "This person, his mind is not pure, if he dies, he will die, there is no shortage of talents in the court." ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

"It's a pity that the eldest son of the Li family finally got mixed up, and he added a life for nothing, which is really unlucky."

"Didn't you say that?"

"These young people, can't they live a good life if they want to come out of it? If you have to make a fuss, who is not sitting in this country? The old queen mother walked slowly: "If you want me to say, it's better to let him stay at the border and not come back!" ”

"But at that time, the situation was urgent, and it was impossible to come back!"

The old queen mother thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is also true." ”

"He's been moving a lot lately, hasn't he?" The old queen asked again.

The eldest grandmother has been in the palace for a long time, when the old queen mother entered the palace, when he entered the palace, as the most powerful assistant around the old queen mother, there are many of her people inside and outside the palace, it is quite simple to get some news, even the emperor hid a family in the cold palace, she is also clear.

It's just a fight between young people, why should they, who are half buried in the loess, put their beaks?

Although the old queen mother is old, she has clear eyes and clear hearts, and she doesn't know many things, but she just pretends not to know and doesn't care, but if there are unscrupulous people who want to subvert the country, she also wants to make a move.

The eldest grandmother was silent and did not speak, and the old lady only smiled.

"He's still impulsive, no matter how old he is. The calm and introverted on the face are all pretended. The old queen mother said softly with her front feet, and her back feet suddenly became cold: "Those turtle bastards who chewed their tongues in his ears will all be pulled out this time and sent below to see the emperor." ”

"The slave knows."

"You can keep an eye on it."

"The slave and maid understand that they will not let these ill-intentioned people have a good time."

In terms of the means of harming people, maybe those men outside are not as good as these women in the harem, they eat people without spitting out bones, their mouths are full of blood, and they can pretend to have a beautiful appearance of quiet years and good mountains and rivers on their faces.

Like Zhou Lan, who can make people willing to give it to themselves with only a little use of beauty, can be said to abound in the harem, and the old queen mother is the best among them.

Don't look at the old age and decrepit now, but in one fell swoop, this line is full of majestic momentum that people dare not look at directly, which is the result of years of infiltrating the harem.

"These people, all of them are buried in the loess, and they are still so competitive, I really don't know where they get so much strength?"

The old queen mother and the eldest grandmother walked to the lake, the weather is good today, the warm sun shines on people, enough to make people drowsy, but the old queen mother is in good spirits, and her eyes are so sharp that they can wake up from nightmares.

"I really don't want to spend this birthday!" The old queen mother sighed, but smiled on her face: "I always feel that I am reminding this palace that I am one year older." ”

The eldest grandmother pursed her lips and was about to say something, but she heard the old queen mother say: "It's been another year close to him." ”

"Queen Mother!"

This sounds poignant.

The eldest mother is a few years younger than the old queen mother, she has never been married in her life, she is loyal to the old queen mother, no matter what the old queen mother does, she has a thousand and ten thousand supports, never a word, the old queen mother said who she wanted, she tried every means to get that person's life.

But I can't hear the old lady say that her longevity is coming.

She still has to accompany the old queen mother to live a long life!

"Ah Yuan, you should also go out of the palace to take a look, it's really nothing good to accompany such a dead old woman in this palace."

The eldest grandmother clenched the old lady's arm: "What nonsense are you talking about?" In the eyes of the slave maid, you will always be the most beautiful and generous lady of the Li family. ”

"Yes, there is no man in the world who is worthy of this palace."

"Yes, yes, yes." The big mama chimed in.

The old queen mother was still smiling, but suddenly she didn't know what she thought, and her face was a little pale.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and summon the old lady into the palace."

The eldest grandmother was stunned for a moment, blessed herself, and nodded yes.

When the old lady entered the palace, it was almost dinner, although he was old, but his legs and feet were neat, he had not entered the palace for a long time, at this time he followed a waiter and looked around, no matter what he saw, he was amazed, and the waiter who led the way in front couldn't help but be speechless, and only replied without emotion.

"It's rare, my old sister!"

"Don't come unharmed, my old brother." The old queen mother smiled and waved away the palace maids serving beside her, and the eldest grandmother also stood at the door.

After everyone left, the old lady sneakily took out a bag of bulging things from his arms, and vaguely exuded an appetizing aroma.

The old lady stretched her neck and waited, only to see the old lady whisper: "Roast chicken, the one you usually like to eat the most." ”

"What are you doing when you call my brother in?"

Although the old lady is a few years older than the old queen mother, and even sometimes does things quite casually and willfully, her head is still bright.

The old queen mother tore the roast chicken with her hands very unvividly, and said while eating: "It's not those troublemakers, my daughter-in-law has a body now, and the grandson who was finally obtained, I don't want to lose it in such a daze." ”

"Who do you want to toss?"

"One in the court counts as one, you can do it."

The old lady touched the beard on her chin and nodded thoughtfully: "You can rest assured about this." ”

"They, they all think that the palace is old, and they don't take the palace in their eyes at all, and they don't know who knelt in front of the palace one by one, and asked the palace to come forward." The old queen mother pinched the handkerchief and wiped her oily mouth, and after only half a while, she had already eaten most of the roast chicken.

It's still good to be brought by my brother.

It's still my brother who is reliable.

It feels good to have something to rely on.

The old lady saw that the remaining half of the roast chicken did not move, so she picked it up and gnawed it directly, and the old lady picked her teeth with a toothpick, holding the freshly brewed hot tea in her hand, and burped comfortably.

In the first half of his life, he was trembling, strict with himself, walking on thin ice, and in the second half of his life, he was comfortable and returned to himself.

But neither of them got their wish.

One entered the palace, and the other was forced to marry someone other than his sweetheart.
