Chapter 69: Divergence
When Tong Qingyan was about to stand up and faint, there was finally movement in the dormitory, and Queen Chu got up.
The warmth of the main hall gathered little by little, without the coldness when he first came in, the incense in the incense burner was of high quality, and it took a while to fill the entire main hall, and Tong Qingyan did not smell the previous smell of medicine when he came in.
Chu Shumo was dressed in the queen's crown dress and was mixed into the main hall, Tong Qingyan immediately put down the teacup and got up to salute.
From beginning to end, his eyes hung down on the hem of the queen's clothes, and he tried to resist the curiosity of looking up.
Chu Shumo looked at the people under the steps, his eyes were in a trance, to say that it is not very similar, at the same age, Anyang has been raised by the royal family for so many years, and her posture and appearance are not at all comparable to this girl now.
"Excuse me."
"Empress Xie."
"Raise your head and let Hongu take a look."
With this flat tone, Tong Qingyan instinctively wanted to frown, but in the end she held back and raised her head calmly.
Chu Shumo squinted and glanced at Tong Qingyan carefully, there was indeed some resemblance in appearance, but that was all.
There has always been a look of joy between Anyang's eyebrows, very cheerful and bright, and the girl in front of her is more plain and calm, faintly narrowing the distance between people.
"You sit down, it doesn't matter if I call you into the palace today."
Tong Qingyan calmly sat back in her position and watched Honglian carry a tray in front of her.
"The queen mother personally selected, the birthday gift of the county lord."
Tong Qingyan glanced at the jade bead bracelet in the tray, each jade bead was uniform in color, it was not ordinary at first glance, and the queen was also very generous.
"Yanyang Xie Empress Niang's reward."
"Thank you what, it's not a very good thing, I prepared a birthday gift for her, but unfortunately it didn't happen, and today is a thought for you for a few years."
Tong Qingyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and there was no movement, still with a calm face, which made Chu Shumo on the high seat raise his eyebrows unexpectedly.
The queen with a sickly face, Tong Qingyan felt that the longer she stayed here, the more sick she became.
"Yanyang still has to go to say goodbye to her stepmother, if the mother is ......"
"What's the hurry, this palace summoned you to the palace, but it was someone from Xirui Palace who went to pick you up, don't you understand?"
Chu Shumo coughed twice, looked at Tong Qingyan who straightened her waist, and sighed in her heart.
It's good to be young, you can not care about anything, and I used to be so lonely and proud......
"Yeonyang doesn't understand, and she doesn't need to understand."
"With the three-point statue, let the concubine recognize you as a righteous daughter, become the county lord from the first grade, and climb to the prince of Huai, you have such a means at a young age, it is really powerful."
"Looks are innate, the favor of the concubine is the blessing of Yanyang, the son of the world treats him differently, and it is the creation of Yanyang, and he should not be praised by the queen."
Chu Shumo glanced at the shocked red lotus, and smiled, Anyang, who was favored by the emperor back then, probably didn't dare to talk to herself so presumptuously, but now this little girl dares.
"You are bold, this palace might as well tell you directly, the concubine asked this palace to call you into the palace to reprimand, just to let you find out your identity, don't think about something that you don't have, this palace has been friends with her for many years, and this favor will naturally help."
Tong Qingyan looked up with some surprise and glanced at the queen who seemed to be out of breath in the next second, although she knew that she couldn't get anything good when she entered the palace today, but she didn't expect the queen to be so honest, and she actually said it all so much.
Chu Shumo and Tong Qingyan glanced at each other very briefly, but they also understood what the other party was thinking, and pulled the corners of their mouths weakly.
"You are a smart and brave child, you should know that the women in this palace have a hard time, especially me, look at my dilapidated body, and I have no real power in my hands, everyone envies my position, but if you really want to sit up, you can know how much bitterness and suffering there is."
"Mother's ......"
Honglian felt that her mother was crazy, and actually said so many words to a little girl who was on the edge of her side and would never even think about it before, Chu Shumo patted Honglian's hand that she subconsciously grabbed and nodded towards Tong Qingyan, who was looking at her calmly.
"If you come forward, I can save effort when I speak."
"Yes."
Tong Qingyan lifted the thick skirt, walked up the steps step by step, walked to Chu Shumo and stood three steps in front of him, and Honglian took a round pestle under Chu Shumo's signal.
"Don't worry, I'm not contagious."
"Niangniang said that she laughed, Yanyang had never thought of it that way."
"You don't think so, there are many people who think like this in the palace, this palace is the queen, there is no need to explain to anyone, if someone is interested in inquiring about the hospital, it is just to hear some weak diseases brought out of the mother's womb, and you can't die for a while, and it's not that you can't live to the longevity of a normal person if you raise it finely."
Tong Qingyan had the courage to carefully examine the face of the queen prince, although she had a sick face, she could also see that if she had a healthy face, she would definitely be a great beauty who would have captivated the country and the city.
"The mother is beautiful, she can recover from her illness with peace of mind, and she is not afraid of anything."
"After so many years, no matter how beautiful a person is, he can't withstand the passage of time, even if I take care of my body, what can I have, you don't have to say these empty words to comfort me."
Chu Shumo likes Tong Qingyan's temperament very much, looking at her cold and indifferent appearance, she chatted a few more words to her heart, she is actually a very warm child, if she has such a daughter, she should be very happy every day.
Thinking about it this way, Chu Shumo was a little envious of Tong Qingyan's mother, of course, not a concubine, but envious of Mrs. Tong.
"I didn't say empty words, the body is the capital, no matter who it is, no matter what he wants to do, physical health is the first one, otherwise everything is just a fantasy, the mother has raised the body, and it is really everything."
"Seeing that you are still young and your mind is clear, you are very right. I also want to be healthy, but unfortunately it backfires, and a healthy body is not available to everyone. ”
Tong Qingyan had the heart to ask a few words about the queen's medical history, and went back to ask Wen Qi, but she was afraid of causing trouble at home, so she shut up after a few snorts, and sat quietly, smelling the good aroma of the room, and accompanying Chu Shumo.
"Look at me, say these frustrating words again, the first time you have entered the palace, there are some delicate gadgets here in the palace, give it to you."
Chu Shumo clapped her hands, with a sincere smile on her face, and asked Honglian to go into the house and take out a small box.
These are all small Western toys from the foreigner Tang Nuo, Jia Kangdi randomly ordered a few things and sent them to Fengwu Palace, all the gifts, and the rest naturally almost went to Xirui Palace.
Tong Qingyan looked inside, in fact, there was nothing unusual, just a kaleidoscope, a pocket watch and a simple version of the Rubik's Cube.
The kaleidoscope and the Rubik's Cube are nothing, but the pocket watch is a good thing, Tong Qingyan picked up the pocket watch and looked at it, a little bit of love.
"This is called the clock, the number on this represents the hour, this palace doesn't know this very well, I looked at it fresh and played for a while, and then I ordered someone to put it away, I didn't expect it to be in this box, if you like it, take it."
"Thank you, mother."
"You're welcome, kid."
Tong Qingyan pinched her pocket watch, raised her head and smiled sweetly.
"The elder gives, but does not give."
"Hahaha......" Chu Shumole spoke out and pointed at Tong Qingyan's nose, "You living treasure, it's really ......"
Honglian looked at the two who were laughing, her eyes were a little hot, it had been too long...... Niangniang has not laughed like this for too long since she entered the palace.
After laughing for a while, Chu Shumo's energy was a little tired, he rubbed his sore forehead, looked at Tong Qingyan whose eyebrows and eyes had become warm, and sighed.
"You are a good boy, you shouldn't get involved in the right and wrong of the capital. Now that I'm even more involved in the palace, I can't bear it, I will try my best to protect you in the future, don't be afraid of the concubine, with me, she won't dare to do too much, let alone the emperor. ”
Tong Qingyan didn't know if she understood or not, she just pursed her mouth and lowered her head, Chu Shumo didn't expect her to answer anything, and looked at the door leisurely.
In the end, many things may not always be the person's wish, no matter how favored they are, there will always be some feelings when there are differences.
