Chapter 177: The Queen Mother Thinks About Royal Love
"Grandson meets the Queen Mother......"
"You Jin...... Get up, you kid! The Empress Dowager, who had a kind face on the seat, hurriedly got up and went to help: "Where do we need these false gifts between our ancestors and grandchildren? Tell the mother of the emperor to be closer."
Xingchen slowly raised his head, his eyebrows were trimmed, and his face was light, "Imperial grandmother, this etiquette cannot be violated!" ”
"You kid, you still tell the mourning family this!" The queen mother looked at his outstanding appearance, and her heart became more and more happy, holding the young man's hand and smiling: "Our ancestors and grandchildren have not seen each other for ten years, and the mourning family has not forgotten you two for a moment in the past ten years, and thanks to your father and the emperor who took you back a few days ago, so that the mourning family can still see you in this twilight year!" ”
She said unconsciously warm tears, and took his hand and sat down, "Good boy of the mourning family, I was thinking about you, saying that I asked Fu'er to invite you over, but I didn't expect our ancestors and grandchildren to have a heart!" ”
Xingchen looked at her, slightly touched, this is the most ruthless emperor's family, since he entered the palace, it is also this queen mother who can make him feel a trace of warmth, he has not seen this queen mother a few times in his memory, this harem royal heir is not a rare thing, they are close to her on weekdays, the true love is little, and the calculation is quite a lot, after all, even the emperor is not close to her, and the folk joy under Chenghuan's knees is not a luxury! She is so rare, in addition to the concern he has for many years, there is also her desire for family affection in her heart as an ordinary person!
"Imperial grandmother, you have lost a lot of weight recently, and your grandson has recently studied a lot of recipes in the imperial dining room, and made a few dishes himself, please try it!"
The boy said and waved his hand, "Come in!" Then a few good-looking palace maids respectfully approached the house with a few dishes.
Xingchen understood in his heart why the queen mother was so good to him, but he knew better what he wanted, he was standing on the cusp of this palace, and suddenly there was an extra prince, which was inevitably criticized, but he didn't understand why the emperor didn't recognize him ten years ago, and why he was looking for him to go back to the palace now, time is a good thing, some things can be diluted, but some can never be erased, but it is becoming clearer and clearer in his heart.
The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "You Jin, you kid has a heart, it's just that the work in this imperial dining room is the rough work done by the grandmother and palace maids in this palace, how can you, a prince, do this at a lower price!" ”
Although the queen mother is harsh on the surface, she is actually very happy in her heart, she has lived a lifetime to the end, the first time there is such a warm moment, only in the heart silently sigh that she used to be the mother of the world, in order to avoid relatives from interfering in politics, the past dynasties have deliberately selected some women from ordinary civilian families as queens, most of the show girls in the harem are civilians, there are few descendants of dignitaries, and she is just the daughter of a small county servant, step by step to become the queen mother, With open guns and hidden arrows, she is tired of it.
She thinks that her virtue and talent are not outstanding in the harem, her son was influenced by her, and he did not become an excellent emperor, he was obsessed with carpenter work all day long, while his other son was stationed at the border all the year round, and finally became a threat to the emperor, and the most ruthless emperor family did not end well...... The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, the long night is long, every time I think about it, my heart aches like a twist!
Of course, there are two sides to everything, and the same is true for the royal family, his own virtue is not outstanding, so the result is that the emperor cannot be the son of heaven in the hearts of the people in the world, the people are dissatisfied, the emperor is more and more self-abandoned, and the government is naturally not stable!
Xingchen smiled and took the chicken soup from the palace maid on the side, "Grandmother...... Try your grandson's stewed chicken, and the soup is delicious! ”
"Good, good...... The stewed chicken made by the grandson of the mourning family is much more delicious than the cook in this imperial dining room! ”
The young man laughed and said, "Grandmother likes it, and my grandson will often cook it for you in the future!" ”
The meat melted in her mouth, but she felt a little sad when she ate it in her mouth, and said with emotion: "Good grandson of the mourning family, how did you come over all these years, your mother left early...... Side...... And there is no one to serve! ”
Seeing that this topic attracted his interest, the young man echoed her and said, "My grandson lives well alone, he is well fed and clothed, and he has never worried about anything...... It's just that I often miss my mother, and my grandson still remembers how my grandmother talked to her ten years ago! ”
She sighed, put down the chicken soup, and immediately a palace maid came to pick her up, and she breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Your mother's life is thin, and she has no such blessings, if he sees you grow into the way you are now, his heart should be happy!" ”
"Imperial Grandmother...... The grandson has many doubts in his heart, and he has been bothering his grandson for more than ten years......" the young man said and lowered his head, his handsome face faintly gloomy.
She sighed and said, "You Jin...... What do you want to ask, if the mourning family knows, they will tell you! ”
"I want to know how my mother died!"
As soon as the young man said this, the Queen Mother only changed color slightly, and only replied after half a ring: "The mourning family is old...... I don't remember much about what happened more than ten years ago, but I just remember that your mother had a serious illness and never got better......"
Xingchen is very knowledgeable, and naturally understands that this palace is as deep as the sea, and this relative is not completely regarded as a relative, if you want to live safely, you must learn to see the wind and rudder, and stop in moderation, "Grandson understands, grandson still wants to say one thing to you!" ”
The Queen Mother closed her eyes lightly, "Say it!" ”
Xingchen glanced at the Queen Mother who closed her eyes and recuperated, "The grandson wants to ask the imperial grandmother to take care of her body, this plague is not to be underestimated, there are also infected people in the palace, and now the precious spices burned in the palace are extinct for a while, and the smell of various herbs is burned everywhere, and it is very choking wherever you go, and the wine in the liquor shop in the capital is also sold out, and the wine in the palace is not enough, in front of the palace gate, the streets and lanes are sprinkled with strong shochu, and the price of wine is rising, and the people who are not poor have no money to spare, Later, even vinegar was placed in all corners of the house and outside the door to boil to ward off the epidemic, but there was no good way to completely protect it. This plague is terrible, and if you are infected with such a terrible plague, there is no good way to control it! ”
When the queen mother heard this, she unconsciously tightened her brows, rubbed her temples with her hands, in order to eliminate this terrible plague as soon as possible, she and the queen and the concubines burned incense and prayed every day for several days, and invited a few Buddha statues in their own house, but they did not get the mercy of the gods. Seeing that the emperor, who had always been obsessed with working with carpenters, suddenly had a fighting spirit, and gradually worried about the country, and under anxiety, his body gradually lost weight.
The Queen Mother looked at the young man and said with some worry: "The mourning family has a little ears and eyes, and I heard that Shen Guifei in the palace is also infected with this plague. I don't know why she was sent to the border, this Shen Guifei suffered such a blow, I think this is what the emperor meant! It's just that I pity this child, she shouldn't stay here, as soon as she has a free life, it belongs to her. ”
The young man couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that this royal family was unkind, "Imperial grandmother, grandson is going to plan to go to this border land in the next two days......"
"What...... You foolishness! When the Queen Mother heard the young man's words, she couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly stopped.
Seeing her angry and frightened expression, Xingchen hurriedly took her hand and knelt beside her and said: "Sun Er, as a prince, should naturally do what he should do, this sudden plague has already ruined the world, some people in this palace were fine yesterday, and this morning they heard a report from someone, and they became this patient, saying that they were infected with the plague and added a lot, once they were infected, they couldn't eat it, and all the things they ate vomited out, and the people also burned badly, and they began to talk nonsense when their brains were not clear!" ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was shocked and asked, "What about the Imperial Doctor?" Did you go to the doctor? ”
Xingchen shook his head and said: "The lady in this palace is fine, but it's a pity that this grandmother and father-in-law have been neglected, and the epidemic is easy to infect, which doctor dares to come to the treatment at this juncture?" What's more, this medicine is in short supply, and the sick begged everyone here to invite three or four times, but none of the doctors came, how can this be good? The palace maid in this palace was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, and her voice was already crying to beg, and she refused to come. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she looked angry, "How can this be reasonable...... There is a person in this palace who is sick and does not try his best to heal him, so what is the use of asking him to be too sick? ”
Xingchen only responded gently: "Grandson has done his best, so he also went to see his father, this plague is inseparable from the border land, if you want to treat it, you must find this source, grandson has asked to go here to ask the emperor, and he will set off in two days and go with Shen Guifei!" ”
The Queen Mother sighed, she, the queen and several mothers were praying for the plague, and there was no one who could make up their minds, but this god turned a deaf ear in the end, and now she wants to take her grandson again, and she is absolutely unwilling in her heart!
She said with some excitement: "The grandson of the mourning family - what if he is infected with the epidemic? Everyone in the world is afraid of the severity of the epidemic, and tomorrow the mourning family will go to ask for a decree, this disease must be treated by this doctor! ”
The young man replied: "My grandson knows what the emperor's grandmother thinks, but no matter what the situation is, I have to go and see it, for the sake of the people of the world, this is what my grandson should do!"
The Queen Mother looked at his handsome and cold face, and said earnestly: "The mourning family is like this now, and I won't let you go if I say anything, otherwise the mourning family will not even have someone to talk to in the future." ”
The young man's heart was shocked, and he said, "Imperial grandmother, don't worry, I will come back safely!" ”
The Queen Mother couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she only rubbed her temples gently, and asked Fu'er to help her up, wanting to rest, so she only left one sentence and said: "The mourning family only needs you to be safe, and you can't risk your own life for them!" ”
