Chapter 64: The Queen Mother
"Why did you get out of bed when you weren't well?" Ji Ranyu looked at Chu Xiaoxiang dotingly, said helplessly, suddenly turned his head to Helian Chen, who was on the side again, and continued, "You don't persuade her a little, how can you be a husband." ”
Helian Chen hugged his fists, bowed his head and replied: "It's the minister's fault, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
Ji Ranyu didn't look at Helian Chen anymore, it seems that he, who is an elder brother, doesn't like his brother-in-law very much, no wonder, he is such a sister, and he married so early, can he not hate it?
Chu Xiaoxiang laughed in a low voice, took Ji Ranyu's arm, and said coquettishly: "Brother, don't blame Ah Yan, I wanted to get out of bed and walk around, staying in the room all day, and I was suffocated." ”
Ji Ranyu shook his head helplessly, and poked Chu Xiaoxiang's forehead with his finger, Helian Chen sat on the chair expressionlessly, he should be angry, Chu Xiaoxiang secretly stuck out his tongue, and didn't say anything.
The three of them sat down to eat together, which is still a rare situation for Chu Xiaoxiang and Helian Chen, even in Jin Anguo, there is no situation where three people eat together.
"When you are better, go and see the Queen Mother and her old man, I heard that you fell off the horse that day, she was worried, and she didn't sleep well in the past few days, and she has been thinking about you." Ji Ranyu said suddenly.
Chu Xiaoxiang looked at Ji Ranyu in surprise, she didn't expect that they still had a mother in this world, so she nodded, then go and have a look, it's okay, you can just enter the palace to take a look.
"Don't forget tomorrow morning." Ji Ranyu looked at Helian Chen and said.
Helian Chen nodded politely and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and even Chu Xiaoxiang was a little unaccustomed to eating with three people.
After lunch, Ji Ranyu explained a few more words and left, Helianchen went back to her room expressionlessly, and ignored Chu Xiaoxiang, she knew that Helianchen might be angry.
Chu Xiaoxiang opened Qingtan and came to Helian Chen's room alone, only to see him sitting on the couch, looking at the book seriously, and didn't say anything when he saw her coming, as if she didn't exist.
"Ah Chen, are you unappetizing for today's lunch?" Chu Xiaoxiang came to Helian Chen with a smile and said.
Helian Chen looked at the book expressionlessly, and replied without even raising his head: "No, it's okay." ”
must be angry, otherwise why does he look like this, ignoring her, she is just a brother in Ji Ranyu, why bother so much.
"Don't be angry, Ji Ranyu is Ji Range's brother, I am Ji Range now, no matter how intimate I am with my brother, it will only be brother and sister, where do you want to go." Chu Xiaoxiang came to Helian Chen's side, pillowed his head on his shoulder and said.
Helian Chen sighed and said: "I'm not angry, I'm just a little uncomfortable, it's okay, I've thought about it too, Ji Ranyu is just a brother and sister to you, or I think too much." ”
Chu Xiaoxiang smiled and pulled Helian Chen's arm, dangling it all the time, and said coquettishly: "Ah Chen is the best, tomorrow you go to the morning court, I will go to see the queen mother, you will come to me after the morning court, okay?" ”
Helian Chen pinched her face dotingly, nodded with a smile, and continued to read the book in his hand, Chu Xiaoxiang's head rested on Helian Chen's shoulder, a little sleepy, and she fell asleep unconsciously, and when she woke up, she found that it was already night.
"Hmm." Chu Xiaoxiang rubbed his eyes sleepily, it turned out that it was already night, what about Helian Chen? How can I not see where others are.
At this time, Helian Chen's familiar voice came from outside the door: "You wake up, come and have dinner, you pig, you sleep until this hour, I really don't know what you are doing during the day." ”
Chu Xiaoxiang pursed her lips and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Don't you know what I'm doing during the day?" I actually said that I am a pig, and you are a pig, big pig's head. ”
When Helian Chen heard Chu Xiaoxiang's words, he just shook his head amusedly, carefully scooped her a bowl of rice, and put a lot of vegetables in her bowl with chopsticks.
Chu Xiaoxiang, who was hungry alone because of excessive sleep, couldn't wait for a long time, her stomach was screaming for a long time, she couldn't stand it anymore, she snatched the chopsticks in Helianchen's hand and ate them, without any image at all.
"I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, you have to be careful, I always feel that this time the fall is not so simple, I'm not by your side, you are careful in the palace." Helian Chen explained carefully.
Chu Xiaoxiang swallowed the food in his mouth and said casually: "I'm not a child anymore, it's good if I don't bully others, and I'm not really Ji Range, where will he be slaughtered, rest assured." ”
Helianchen nodded, this is the first time they have entered the palace, what will happen Helianchen doesn't know, but he just explained a few words and was more relieved.
The next day, Helian Chen got up early and went to the palace because he wanted to go to the palace early, and it didn't take long for Chu Xiaoxiang to get up and prepare to enter the palace, Qingtan prepared some breakfast for her, and went into the palace after eating.
Listening to Qingtan said, this queen mother is very benevolent, and very talkative, not the kind of tricky person, when Ji Range insisted on marrying Qiyan, everyone objected, especially his brother Ji Ranyu, felt that Qiyan was not worthy of his only sister, only the queen mother, only the queen mother agreed to this marriage, and felt that Qiyan was a talented person, worthy of it, and Ji Range liked it very much, why not do it.
It was also because of the consent of the Queen Mother that Ji Ranyu was willing to nod to this marriage, otherwise Ji Range would never marry someone from a civilian background like Qiyan.
Speaking of Qiyan and Ji Range's encounter is still very legendary, it is said that it was Qiyan who saved Ji Range, Ji Range secretly promised that Qiyan took the initiative to chase Qiyan, Qiyan Ao couldn't beat Ji Range, and he also had a good impression of her, so he agreed to be together, Ji Ranyu had obstructions on the way, but they were all resolved by Ji Range, this Ji Range is also an infatuated person.
"Princess, we have arrived, and in front of us is the courtyard of the Queen Mother's Fragrant Pavilion." Qingtan got out of the carriage and helped Chu Xiaoxiang to get off the horse and said.
Chu Xiaoxiang was a little surprised and curious, it was the first time she had heard that the courtyard where she lived was called a pavilion, and the courtyard of the emperor's relatives was either a palace or a palace, and it was the first time she had heard the pavilion.
"Let's go, don't let the queen mother wait." Chu Xiaoxiang tidied up his clothes and walked away.
Qingtan looked at Chu Xiaoxiang's back from behind, and was a little relieved, sure enough, the princess is still a princess, and she has not forgotten the etiquette she should have, and she is still her elegant, generous, gentle and virtuous princess.
Chu Xiaoxiang's master and servant walked towards the Fragrance Pavilion, and before they entered the inner courtyard, they smelled a burst of floral fragrance, which was overflowing and refreshing.
"It smells so good." Chu Xiaoxiang said with a smile.
Qingtan nodded and explained: "The princess forgot, the reason why the Queen Mother's Fragrance Pavilion is called the Fragrance Pavilion is because the inner courtyard is full of all kinds of flowers, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and they can float out of the inner courtyard, and people who pass by here can't help but stay for a while, just to smell the fragrance of the flowers." ”
Chu Xiaoxiang nodded as if she didn't understand, this queen mother is also an elegant person, as soon as they walked in, what caught their eyes was the flowers in the courtyard.
There are really so many flowers, no wonder the fragrance is so heavy, but it's not uncomfortable to live under such a strong fragrance of flowers every day? She couldn't stand it, and she became dizzy when she smelled too much.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen Mother has been waiting for you for a long time." Yao'er, the personal maid of the Queen Mother, who came out to greet her, has been by her side since the Queen Mother married into the palace, and now she has been thinking about it for more than ten years.
"Mama doesn't have to be polite, let's take the palace to see the queen mother quickly." Chu Xiaoxiang said to Yao'er with a smile.
Yao'er nodded, and walked into the Fragrance Pavilion with Chu Xiaoxiang and the others, only to see a woman in a gorgeous costume sitting on the couch, not knowing what to do, her eyes were empty, and she was sitting there.
Chu Xiaoxiang didn't know what was going on, why wasn't this queen mother as she remembered?
"What happened to the Queen Mother?" Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't bear to ask, it's not so much that Chu Xiaoxiang can't bear it, it may be that some of the consciousness of the original owner still exists in this body, seeing the queen mother like this, this body moved a little involuntarily, and Chu Xiaoxiang couldn't control it for a while.
I saw Yao'er sigh deeply and replied: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, since the Queen Mother learned that the princess fell from the horse, she didn't think about tea and food all day long, she couldn't eat well, she couldn't sleep well, and she wanted to meet the princess, but she didn't allow it physically, so she could only change like this, thinking about the princess all day long." ”
This queen mother is not in good health? Why didn't she hear Ji Ranyu say, is it pretending or is it real, Chu Xiaoxiang carefully observed the expression of the queen mother, but it didn't look like she was pretending.
"Hongu knows." Chu Xiaoxiang stepped into the main hall of the Fragrance Pavilion, and the Queen Mother, who heard the voice, raised her head suddenly, only to see Chu Xiaoxiang slowly walking into the main hall.
"The Queen Mother." Chu Xiaoxiang called softly.
The Queen Mother didn't react to what happened for a while, she just nodded, and when she came back to her senses, Chu Xiaoxiang had already come to her and stared at her seriously.
"Dye, are you dye?!" The Queen Mother's tone was a little excited, and she grabbed Chu Xiaoxiang's hand excitedly and said excitedly.
Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned and said, "It's me, Queen Mother, are you disobedient and unwilling to eat, you see that you have lost so much weight." ”
The Queen Mother's tears instantly fell like beans, frightening everyone present, including Chu Xiaoxiang: "Dyeing, mourning the dyeing, you are finally fine, you are scared to death the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother said while crying, while touching Chu Xiaoxiang's head, thinking that an elder kindly stroked the hair of the junior, at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang felt what is called kindness, she was really as good to her as Qingtan said.
Ji Range is really happy, for a moment Chu Xiaoxiang was even jealous of Ji Range, she had a brother who loved her so much, so much so that she even built a library in the princess's mansion, and a mother who loved her deeply, and when she saw that her child was fine, she cried instantly.
"But the queen mother, Erchen doesn't remember anything, Erchen has amnesia." Chu Xiaoxiang said deliberately disappointed.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply, shook her head and replied: "It's okay if people are fine, if something happens to you, what do you let the queen do, don't be so naughty to ride horses in the future, you know?" ”
