The wine that has been buried for many years smells strong as soon as it is opened. Only about two-thirds of the wine in the jar remained, but it was as sticky as porridge water.

This was buried when she first entered the Daming Palace, and when she was buried now, she felt that it was no longer wine, but the years and years she had buried in the deep palace.

The jade bowl brings amber light.

Fennel wanted to drink with her, but Nianyun sent her down to rest. Over the years, I am afraid that the only thing that can accompany her is moonlight.

The wine was no longer as strong as it had been in the past, but after three bowls of wine, she found that the stamina was long, which made her a little drunk.

She stood up with a wine bowl, wished to the moon, and sang softly: The famous flowers are full of joy in the country, and the long king looks at it with a smile. Explain that the spring breeze is infinitely hateful, and the agarwood pavilion is leaning on the north of the gan.

Sing it again, over and over again, from tactful and charming, to sad and confused.

In the haze, she seemed to see a familiar figure standing by the window, with his back to her, as if he was weeping along with her singing.

"Chun, after all these years, why did you still abandon me, why did you ......" She knew that she must be so drunk that she would feel that he was still standing by the window, as he had been in the past for many years.

The north window of her dormitory was facing the pool of liquid, and he had such a habit, but whenever there was something difficult to decide in his heart, he would always turn his back to her like this, and stand by the window, so that when she was drunk, the first image of him that came to mind was still like this.

"Nianyun, I'm sorry."

She seemed to hear the man whisper sorry, which made her feel as if the man by the window was there. But she did not dare to come near, for fear that if she approached, she would disturb the dream. Even though she knew it was a dream or an illusion, she was still willing to let him stay there for a little longer and drink the wine with her.

She doesn't want to listen to sorry. I'm sorry for her, it's too thin and too helpless.

After drinking another bowl of wine, she sighed softly, "If I didn't know that the country and society in your heart are far heavier than mine, I should follow you to the underground, and save yourself from this half of your life of loneliness and hardship for half ......of your life."

The jade bowl in her hand slipped to the ground and shattered. Where can you care about whether it is precious or not, this Penglai Palace has never lacked valuable things, gold and jade are piled up, but it can no longer give her any pleasure.

In the twilight of spring, she no longer felt cold, she fell to the ground, hid her face and wept, and then fell asleep with the help of wine.

As if hearing her words, the man by the window in the dream finally turned around and walked over and took her in his familiar arms. His clothes lacked the smell of ambergris that lingered in the past, as if he was in the East Palace. Approximately...... You don't burn ambergris over there, do you?

Nianyun leaned his head in his arms with great nostalgia, feeling the joy that came from the dream. His voice was as ethereal as a breeze blowing through the treetops, "If there is no Jiangshan Sheji, I am no longer the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are you still willing to be with me?" ”

If possible, I never hope that you are not the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and this country has nothing to do with us.

Chun, I hope that this dream will never wake up.

The man in the dream also seemed to be in tears, and the tears fell on her neck, and she grabbed his shirt tightly and murmured in a low voice: "Chun, don't cry, for so long, I finally dreamed of you once, how can you cry?" ”

He picked her up, laid her on the couch, and took off her coat and shoes. She has always hugged his waist like a foolish child, "Chun, don't go, stay with me......"

"I'm not leaving......"

She went to sleep with peace of mind.

With his arms in her dream, she was reluctant to wake up, even if she knew it was just a dream, but she let herself indulge in it.

This was the first time in many years that she had not gotten up, neither went to the morning court, nor got up early to change into solemn clothes and waited for the concubines to come to greet her. Fennel stuck on the door and listened to it for a long time, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual, thinking that the Queen Mother had worked hard for many years, and it was rare to snooze once, so she didn't call her.

But the dream still has to wake up.

When Nianyun opened his eyes, the sky was already bright, and the bright sunlight outside the window came in, warm. Last night, because he was greedy for the moonlight, he did not close the curtain, but gave the sun a chance.

She was lying on the bed, her coat hung neatly on the fence of the bed, and her shoes and socks were placed under the bed. Because she dreamed of him coming last night, she used to sleep on the side of the big couch and made room for him. But there was obviously no trace of anyone sleeping on that side, half of the brocade was covered with him, and the remaining half was not opened at all.

She glanced to the ground, where the wine jar was still on the table and the jade bowl shattered on the ground. It was carved from mutton fat jade paid tribute by Tibet, and it was also priceless.

Nothing is out of the ordinary, just no trace of him.

She sat up, her temples jumped twice, she reached for her temples, and called Fennel in and served her washing.

Fennel was already waiting outside, and when she heard her call, she hurriedly took a basin and a hand towel and other things in, and when she saw her sitting on the edge of the couch, she smiled and said, "It's rare that the mother has a good night's sleep." ”

"The mourning family dreamed of Your Majesty......" she sighed leisurely, and Fennel realized that the "Your Majesty" she said was not Li Heng, but the first emperor.

She couldn't answer, so she had to comb her hair silently, and only changed the topic after a while, "Niangniang, Guo Yuma came to ask to see, I heard that Niangniang is still asleep, don't bother, I'm still waiting outside at this time." ”

"The third brother is here, why didn't you say it earlier?" Nian Yun was startled, and hurriedly asked Fennel to comb her hair in a simple bun, hurriedly changed her clothes, and called Guo Yan in.

At this time, Yuzhu brought someone in to set up breakfast, and advised: "Niangniang use a little less, a little pad, and it will be time for lunch later." ”

Nian Yun ignored it and beckoned to Guo Yan, "Third brother, you can also use a little, you must be hungry standing in the morning when you go to the court?" ”

Guo Yan looked at Yuzhu and said, "You can also go down and use something, and I will sit with the Queen Mother." ”

Fennel guessed that he had something to say to the Queen Mother, and also found a reason to go out, there were only two brothers and sisters left in the house, Nianyun said: "It's not that you don't know a few of them, they are all old people around you, what are you talking about so mysterious?" ”

Guo Yan said: "Even with fennel pothos, they were all trustworthy people who were married from the Guo family, I know, but there are still a few rebellious words, and I don't want to listen to others." ”

Nian Yun sneered and took a steamed roll, "Okay, have you said fewer rebellious things over the years, and I just want you to be a little open-mouthed." Fortunately, in front of outsiders, you bit it tightly and didn't leave any handles. ”

Guo Yan looked at her face carefully, in just a few months, she seemed to be really old. The title has changed from the concubine to the queen mother, and the dress has changed from plain and light to twilight, and she has more to worry about than before.

When Li Heng was the prince, although he may not have obeyed her words, there was no direct contradiction at that time, and the mother and son got along quite well. And now, he began to be slowly instigated by the people around him, and began to be dissatisfied with being subordinate to the Queen Mother in everything, and even one of his Sanpin Jieyu dared to show her fangs and claws.

In the past, both he and Nianyun may have doted on and indulged this child too much, shielding him from all the wind and rain, but they didn't expect to make him a mediocre talent who had neither responsibility nor enough intelligence.

Even if Nianyun can endure it, he, as an uncle, can't bear it.

He asked tentatively: "I heard that yesterday, Your Majesty was a little unhappy with Niangniang?" ”

"Unpleasant?" Nian Yun was surprised: "I dreamed of him yesterday ......"

As soon as she said that, she suddenly realized that the "Your Majesty" he said meant Heng'er, but she always felt that her Majesty was Li Chun, and she always didn't want to call him "the first emperor".

With a little unnaturalness, she put down the food, wiped her hands on the wet handkerchief, and then couldn't help rubbing her temples, "Oh, Heng'er, that child, hey, as soon as I talk about the mourning family, I feel a pain in my brain." ”

"Nian Yun, why are you always reluctant to accept the fact that the first emperor has died, in fact, in your heart, you have always felt that Your Majesty is just a child, right?" He paused, "Moreover, you also clearly know that Your Majesty may not be enough to support the world, so have you ever thought that in the future, you and I will no longer be able to take care of it, or Your Majesty is no longer willing to let you and me take care of him, what should I do?" ”

This time, the food in Nian Yun's mouth seemed to be stagnant. What to do? It's not that she hasn't thought about it, but she doesn't want to think about it subconsciously.

What can she do, to do the work of the Void? But Heng'er is her son, her only son!

"Nianyun, I don't want to see you wronged, no matter where you come from, any grievance." Guo Yan stood up, walked to her side, and suddenly knelt down in front of her: "Nianyun, as long as you want, I can help you." ”

"What?" Nian Yun was shocked, "Third brother, what are you doing!" ”

Guo Yan stared at her eyes and opened his mouth to say shocking words: "Abolish the Li clan and stand on your own, follow the example of the Empress Wu, and reign over the world." ”

"No, no, no, it can't be!" Nian Yun was so shocked that she jumped up from her stool, stood on her own, and became an empress, how could this be possible?

"The Guo family has been giving porridge in the famine years, opening a medical center, and providing relief to the victims for decades, spending countless money and silk, and of course winning countless reputations. When Emperor Dezong died, the Empress Dowager retreated from tens of thousands of border troops alone, and in the early years of Yuan He, she personally conquered Li Kuang, although she was deliberately secretive, but there were also quite a few people in the court who knew the inside story.

When the first emperor was there, he often asked the queen mother to be the regent of the dynasty, and now she has been listening to the government, and all the ministers know in their hearts that the queen mother's talent is far better than that of Your Majesty. Moreover, there is a precedent for Empress Wu to be an empress in this dynasty, and it must not be so difficult for the people of the world to accept the second empress. ”

Nianyun still shook his head vigorously, "No, Chun handed over his most cherished world to me, I can't ......"

"Nianyun! Now that the mother and son are separated, it is difficult for Heng'er to take on the big responsibility, do you just watch the world left to you by the first emperor slowly ruined by the hands of mediocre and adulterous concubines! What the first emperor left to you is the Li family's country, but the people don't care whether the world is surnamed Li or Guo, they only need a person who is more suitable to sit there to rule! ”
