Chapter 191: Mother and Son
It was really autumn, and as soon as the wind blew, the trees in the palace walls began to lose their leaves.
There is no dynasty today, but He Xiao still got up early in the morning, and he went to greet his mother.
At this time, the autumn was cold, and there was no court meeting, when He Xiao added clothes, he specially picked up a dark purple woven gold cloud with a woven gold dragon pattern on the shoulders and knees - this is what her mother likes. Wearing a black straight-brimmed hat with gold sheet flowers and gems on his head, and a thumb-sized Dongzhu on the top of the hat, he was dressed like this, if he didn't look at the dragon pattern, he looked like a lovely little son of an ordinary family.
When he entered Cining Palace all the way, his mother hadn't gotten up yet.
Qiu Anren was waiting for her last night, Empress Dowager Lin always got up late, of course He Xiao was used to it, pulled the stiff smile on his face, and waited outside the dormitory.
The first person who came out of the dormitory was Qiu Anren, who looked like a delicate jade person, and arched at He Xiao: "Emperor." ”
This Yin Gong was young, and said that he had a cold on his legs in his early years, and his knees were not good, so it was inconvenient for him to kneel for a long time, so he only made an arch when he saw the emperor.
This is the celebrity in front of his mother, the powerful man in the government and the opposition, and the chief eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the celebrant of the ceremony, and even he, the emperor, has to give some face. He Xiao bowed at him and said with a smile: "Yin Gong." ”
"Yo." Qiu Anren looked flattered, "Where can this slave and maid afford it, the emperor just calls Anren." ”
He Xiao always heard his mother call these two words, and felt that it was strange to people's appetite, so he called him "Yin Gong".
The little emperor didn't smile, and the mosquito snorted: "Anren." ”
As he was talking, the palace people inside came out and called: "Emperor, the mother asked you to go in." ”
He Xiao didn't want to say goodbye to Qiu Anren, but he still endured his nausea and listened to Qiu Anren say goodbye to him, so he lowered his head and lifted the curtain and entered the Empress Dowager Lin's bedroom.
Empress Dowager Lin is also dressed in a homely manner, and the colors are all plain, and she looks like a loving mother of ordinary people.
He Xiao stepped forward respectfully, knelt down and said, "Erchen has seen the queen mother. ”
"Get up." Empress Dowager Lin was lazy and lazy, half leaning on the couch, and the amorous charm between her eyebrows and eyes didn't seem to have dissipated, "I'm still a child, so I have to sleep more, it's hard for the emperor to come so early." ”
"Mother." He Xiao had a sweet mouth, smiled innocently and childishly, and sat down in front of Empress Dowager Lin.
He hadn't called Empress Dowager Lin like this for a long time, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes softened a little in a moment. sat up and patted He Xiao's shoulder: "I've grown a lot taller." ”
He Xiao's smile was clean, and he said: "Erchen has heard some old people say that this is the time for young people to grow up, one day at a time, and after a while, they will look like adults." ”
Empress Dowager Lin hated him: "Isn't it still a doll." ”
He Xiao naturally retorted with a smile: "Where is the doll, I will get married next year." ”
Empress Dowager Lin blew the tea leaves, thought about it, and said, "Yes." She raised her eyes to look at the little emperor who still had a childish look on her face, and asked, "Have you seen the roster?" ”
"I've seen it." The little emperor felt that his face was about to stiffen with laughter, "Erchen feels that he has to choose a person with the highest status and dignity to be considered right." ”
Empress Dowager Lin stopped talking.
He Xiao was a little scared, he still remembered what it was like when he last hit the Empress Dowager Lin, but he still swallowed his saliva and said that sentence: "Originally, the most valuable daughter in the capital was the lord of Sui'an, and when the son saw that it was not on the list, he felt that it was not appropriate. ”
"Why am I so diligent today as the emperor?" Empress Dowager Lin snorted coldly, "It turned out that I wanted to be close to the mourning family." Why are you talking to those people? ”
"What do you know about a half-grown child?" Empress Dowager Lin slammed the teacup on the table, "Who poured you the ecstasy soup?" ”
He Xiao knelt on the ground with a thud, his voice trembled, but he still stiffened his neck and wanted to go down and say, "No one poured ecstasy soup on Erchen." Although Erchen is young, he has also read the sage book for many years, and the sage teaches people to know the kindness of the retribution - that Yu Zhiwei saved the life of Erchen! ”
He raised his face, looked at the Empress Dowager Lin and said, "Don't say anything to the sons, the sons don't understand, the sons all know." This one saves the car, how can she not be worth the guilt, not to mention that she is only ......"
"But what?" Empress Dowager Lin sneered, and said in her heart, I see what else this little cub can say.
"What's more, she is not the main culprit, what she did not only saved her sons, but also saved tens of millions of people in the capital!" He Xiao felt that he had never said so many words in his life, so he shouted in a hurry, "Erchen will issue an order tomorrow to take her out and add her to the roster after acceptance." ”
"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Lin was angry and slapped He Xiao in the face.
He Xiao was still a young man, and after this slap, he fell to the ground.
The little boy licked the corner of his mouth, which seemed to smell a little bloody. He got up again and knelt upright again: "The son will be the queen mother, so he will go and write the holy decree." ”
Empress Dowager Lin rubbed her temples, probably angry, her chest rose and fell violently a few times, and she sneered; "Then the emperor will go and write it, and the holy decree of the seal has not been covered, and see how the emperor will issue it."
He Xiao was slapped in the face, but he was not afraid, and there was an excitement in his heart to resist to the end. The little boy's eyes seemed to have a ball of fire in his mouth, and he stared straight at the Empress Dowager Lin: "The minister will kneel here to the queen mother and return the jade seal to the son." ”
"The emperor wants to be expensive, don't kneel here. When the time comes, the mourning family will be sick, and the emperor will not even have his filial piety! Empress Dowager Lin pointed her hand outward, "If the emperor wants to kneel, kneel outside!" ”
The emperor knelt in the courtyard of Cining Palace, what a shame it was, Empress Dowager Lin was going to tear the face of this little emperor.
Sure enough, when He Xiao heard this, his face turned pale for a moment, then quickly turned blue, and finally turned red again.
No matter what, he is also an emperor, even if he is a little puppet, he is arrogant, where can he bear this humiliation?
Empress Dowager Lin played with her nails for a while, glanced at He Xiao with her spare eyes, and watched him get up from the ground, revealing stiffness from his face to his legs.
She thought He Xiao was going back, and couldn't help but sneer.
I can't cure this little rabbit yet.
As soon as the Empress Dowager Lin picked up the teacup, and before she could drink a sip of tea, she heard a large number of people kneeling in the inner palace outside.
Then there was Qiu Anren's sharp voice: "Emperor, I can't help it, it's cold on the ground, how can the emperor kneel here?" ”
Empress Dowager Lin was stunned for a moment, and then she heard the sound of rain hitting the stone slab.
A torrential rain came.
