Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lord of Yongning
As soon as the Queen Mother heard the Lord of Yongning, she hurriedly put down the tea she had just brought in her hand, and immediately stood up from her seat, ready to go out to greet her.
Just walked a few steps, but saw a woman dressed in purple, and rushed to the queen mother with an arrow: "Aunt! My niece is here to celebrate your birthday! May my aunt Kang Tai be auspicious and live a long life! ”
After speaking, he knelt down on the spot and kowtowed three times.
The Queen Mother bent down in a panic, pulled up the woman in purple with both hands, and looked her up and down carefully.
"Auntie! It's me! Yongning! The woman in purple took two steps back, turned around again, and tilted her head with a smile and said.
The county lord of Yongning is the niece of the Queen Mother, who is lively and playful by nature, and has grown up in front of the Queen Mother since she was a child, and is deeply loved by the Queen Mother. Later, he went to Shuzhou City with his father and did not enter the palace for four years.
After a few years, the Queen Mother naturally misses it!
"I'm a big girl!" The Queen Mother had tears in her eyes, but sighed with a smile.
The lord of Yongning was overjoyed before entering the palace, but when he saw his aunt in the palace, he saw that she had not only lost a lot of weight, but also gave birth to a few strands of white hair, and her spirit seemed to be much worse than before, and when she saw tears in her eyes, her heart was also sour.
I saw her holding her aunt's hand and first wiping her aunt's eyes to tell her not to be sad. But I didn't control myself for some reason, my mouth was choked, and I was about to cry: "Auntie, you see that you are thin, but you haven't eaten well?" But what do you think about your niece? ”
"Hey! Don't you know, niece, your aunt eats more every day than before. The doctor said it was a disease! The Queen Mother said truthfully.
When the county lord heard that his aunt was sick, he was even more embarrassed, and tears flowed down: "Auntie......... You...... No wonder I lost weight, my aunt can take medicine? ”
"Yongning doesn't know, the queen mother's disease is a chronic disease, it is not in the way, I just got the prescription, as long as the queen mother eats according to the prescription, walks around, and does not need to take medicine, it can be recovered!"
Tang Di stood aside and hurriedly said first.
When Yongning heard this, he immediately became happy again: "Then good aunt!" You must be obedient and follow the rules! I don't know when my aunt's illness began? What are the discomforts on weekdays? ”
"Yongning, I haven't entered the palace for a long time, but I want to go and take a look?" Today is the queen mother's birthday, Tang Di stood aside, wanting to divert the topic in a hurry, not wanting to mention some unpleasant things, which would only increase the mother's troubles.
Who knows, but when he saw the old and the young, he didn't take him seriously at all, and he was crying and laughing and talking to himself.
In fact, where did he know the Queen Mother's thoughts.
The status of the queen mother is noble, and the harem concubines ask for peace every day, and they are all secretive about her condition, and they try their best to pick out the nice words to deal with her, how can she not know in her heart!
The emperor was busy with court affairs, and it was rare to be able to think of asking a question, and she picked out some good things to say, so as not to distract the emperor from her.
As soon as the county lord of Yongning came, what did he say to her, and he was sad about her body with her, and he listened to the prescription, and he was really happy, and the heart was really with her!
"Ning'er! This time, I can promise my aunt to stay in the palace for a few more days! The Queen Mother took the county lord's hand and never let go.
Seeing that the county lord nodded and agreed, the aunt and nephew turned their sorrow into joy together.
At this time, someone from outside came to report that the troupe had been prepared, and the concubines and concubines of the palace also followed the instructions of the Queen Mother.
As soon as Yongning heard that there was a play, he happily held the Queen Mother, and the two went out together.
Seeing this, Tang Di happily followed behind the two, but he didn't forget to tell the palace maid in the Empress Dowager's palace: "Go and invite the emperor!" ”
