Chapter Forty-Six: Yilan

Bai Yi's heart was weak, and his eyes were a little evasive, "What's wrong?" ”

Mo Hui muttered, "You didn't tell me that the woman in Bihan Tower died." ”

"I-"

Bai Yi sighed, unable to answer.

Mo Hui is too smart, and although he is young, he has a talent for mastering intelligence. He quietly heard the news he cared about. Although he was suspicious of what the woman he had missed and said goodbye to was strangeβ€”his own mother was dressed in white and not herβ€”he still cared for her very much.

In front of the palace people, in front of his father and the queen mother, he didn't dare to cry, and he held back the fire in his belly and sent it to Baiyi.

The white clothes sat in front of him, feeling powerless.

Not telling him is to protect him, but it is also to hurt him. Bai Yi couldn't find anything to explain, so he could only be silent, bow his head, and make his clothes. Mo Hui was angry enough and pulled the sleeve of the white coat, "I'll give you a chance to please me." ”

Bai Yi was in trouble, "I'm a person who can only fight, but how can I please you?" ”

"Hmph, then you can sing me a song!"

"This-" It's not that Bai Yi can't sing, but it's all because Duguzheng can't sing the song he taught her can't be sung to a five-year-old child.

Mo Hui pulled the sleeve of the white coat vigorously, "You see I'm so angry!" Draw a picture! ”

Bai Yi's eyes lit up, and he confidently agreed, "I will!" ”

When she was learning to be a puppet with her master Hou Cong, she "painted" a sketch of a character, although Hou Cong's nose was crooked, but Bai Yi decided that this was her specialty and was trained and taught by her eldest son.

Mo Hui happily brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and painted a portrait of "Hou Cong" exactly the same as the night of the "apprentice" in white.

"Who is this man?" Mo Hui asked.

"Hou Cong."

Because of the painting, Bai Yi reconciled with his good friend Mo Hui.

Early in the morning, Hou Cong arrived at Bihan Tower after the end of the day, and the eunuchs of Yilan Hall were already waiting there. Hou Cong looked at the eunuch's uniform, knew that it was a six-grade, and he couldn't be lazy, so he smiled and nodded. The eunuch was in a good mood, he heard about Hou Cong's "Fang Name", and he had such an errand again, his curiosity had already been aroused, and he found that Hou Cong was quite kind, and he was really good-looking, Yushan stood in front of him like a heart, and hurriedly said the will of the Queen Mother, "General Xiaohou seems to be helping our Royal Highness Princess Yanyang." It's been a hard day, our mother has a little heart, please go over and sit down. ”

Hou Cong said, "Okay, please lead the way", and walked with the eunuch to the northwest corner. Along the way, he also observed the scenery in the palace, the summer is hot, and there are many flowers and trees in the palace, but it is cool. He didn't expect that the Yilan Hall would be built on the lake, which was completely different from Datong. Stepping on the wooden bridge, a small boat was still tied to the shore, rippling with the microwave.

Hou Cong followed the eunuch into the palace gate, and every step was on the water, which was exceptionally refreshing and breezy. Some of the flowers and plants planted in the humidity and temperature of this palace are hanging in the air, the leaves are blue and red, and the birds with various colored feathers that cannot be named are actually peaceful with the cats, standing still on the branches, vines and flower pots, or shuttling, which is really lovely.

Because it is erected on the water, the house of the Yilan Hall is small and exquisite. It should be to prevent moisture, and hang it up one layer higher. It has a special feeling of Yaotai Wonderland. Hou Cong walked up the stairs and arrived at a pavilion, listened to the eunuch outside the screen to go in first, and then quietly for a while, the eunuch came out and called him in.

The faint orchid fragrance seems to be absent, no wonder it is called Yilan Palace.

Hou Cong stepped over the screen of the phoenix peony picture, knelt upwards first, and heard a rather young and soft voice, "That's it, get up." ”

Hou Cong flattened, and then he saw the Queen Mother of Chengguo in front of him - Mo Chang's biological mother.

She looks like a grandmother! At most thirty-five or sixteen years old, her demeanor is also elegant and beautiful, her facial features are soft and delicate, revealing a tender and charming temperament, wearing a gorgeous yellow robe, but she does not look vulgar and heavy, with a bun on her head, a golden hairpin peony flower, her face is as bright and quiet as a pearl, except for a trace of coldness and loneliness in her eyes, she is a great beauty that people envy and admire.

"Inside and outside the palace, they are talking about General Xiaohou, I feel curious, so I called to take a look. You don't think I'm frivolous and complicated, do you? "Don't beat around the bush, this queen mother is quite happy.

"It's an infinite honor for my subordinates to see Feng Jia, how dare I think of such disrespect."

The queen mother brushed the silk she was wearing a jade pendant, and was silent for a while, and the eunuch palace daughters beside her quietly retreated.

She looked at Hou Cong and reopened her mouth, "You Datong, have you also changed the emperor?" ”

"Yes."

"You," the Queen Mother leaned forward, "to tell me the truth." Your first emperor, who was very shrewd and in good health, why did he die? I don't believe it. ”

Hou Cong didn't quite know what the Queen Mother's string of words meant, so he had to answer truthfully, "When his subordinates left Beijing, the first emperor was naturally healthy. Later, her subordinates have been protecting His Royal Highness King Yangxian on the road", when it came to this son who was immortal and had not seen her for a long time, she didn't even blink her eyes, her heart was like water, "I suddenly received bad news, and my subordinates couldn't believe it." ”

"And then?"

"Only the subordinates have cronies who return to Beijing for confirmation. It's true. ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time.

Hou Cong also didn't say a word. He really didn't understand that Mo Chang's mother called herself in without asking Mo Chang, and didn't ask about the marriage of Mo Yanyang, who was rumored to be very beloved by her, just to confirm the death of the first emperor of Liguo?

"People have good and bad luck." Finally, the Queen Mother said.

Hou Cong had no choice but to follow her, "Yes." ”

Although it was a bit frivolous to think like this, Hou Cong couldn't help but come to a conclusion that this queen mother was the first woman in the world who was not interested in herself at all.

The queen mother's phoenix seat is gorgeous and solemn, and there is still a screen behind it, painted with bluegrass. There were half-worn pillows at both ends of the phoenix seat, and there was a small kang table at one end, and Hou Cong's eyes stopped for a moment when he saw there.

There is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the small kang table, but there is a paperweight.

It is exactly the same as the beloved thing of the first emperor of Liguo.

This "audience" ended in such a blur. The daughters of the eunuch palace came in again, Hou Cong said a few kind words, exited the screen, exited the Yilan Palace, and the eunuch who brought him took him out again.

Within a dozen steps from Kexin Lake, Hou Cong saw a dozen eunuchs and a dozen palace daughters in a big battle, and a group of forbidden troops casually, surrounded by a goose-yellow chariot, coming towards the Yilan Palace. There was a four- or five-year-old yellow-robed child sitting on the chariot, it must be Mo Hui.

Hou Cong didn't want to do much, so he stepped aside and saluted.

Unexpectedly, Mo Chang stared at him and shouted, "Isn't that Hou Cong?" Stop! ”
