Chapter 15: "The Thoughts of the Many"

Just when the Queen Mother was crying and Xu Mama was distressed, Chang Yi came in and preached, "The Queen Mother Princess Yongtai is here" The Queen Mother hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said to Chang Yi, "Please"

Chang Yi walked outside the hall and saluted Princess Yongtai and said, "Your Highness, please" Princess Yongtai was wearing a dark blue gauze dress and only a few silver hairpins on her head.

Princess Yongtai has never married in her life, she has benefited from the maintenance of the empty valley orchid, noble temperament, Daxuan also has women as officials, but there are relatively few, female disciples from Tinglan Xiaozhu, most of them have become female officials or female historians in the backyard, Princess Yongtai as the dean of Tinglan Xiaozhu, although she has not been peach and plum all over the world, but Princess Yongtai is highly respected, and is deeply respected by the emperor and courtiers.

Princess Yongtai walked into the palace and was about to salute, but was stopped by the Queen Mother in time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor respected this sister-in-law, and the relationship between the two was also very good.

Yongtai smiled and said, "Isn't this coming to the Queen Mother, to eat and drink," the Queen Mother heard this, and instructed Mama Xu, "Hurry up and make a pot of tea, and serve some good snacks," Mama Xu bowed, "Yes," and retreated with the palace maids in the palace.

The two of them sat on the soft couch holding each other, and Princess Yongtai kept staring at the Queen Mother, who touched her face, "Is there something on my face?" Princess Yongtai stared at the corners of the Queen Mother's red eyes and said, "You cried just now, didn't you!"

After Mama Xu came in with tea and snacks and put them away, she withdrew and stayed at the door of the hall, and Princess Yongtai sighed inside, "Su Luo, is there anything else you can't say to me?"

The Queen Mother glanced at Princess Yongtai, "Alas, I really can't hide anything from you"

Princess Yongtai hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, is something wrong?" The Queen Mother shook her head, "I feel sorry for my son, you also know that the emperor died that year, and handed over this responsibility as heavy as Mount Tai to my thirteen-year-old son, and in the past six years, my son has shouldered the pressure of this mountain with his immature shoulders."

Princess Yongtai gently took the hand of the Queen Mother, and did not speak and listened to the Queen Mother quietly, "How many nights in the dead of night in the Lizheng Palace, my son watched the music alone and saw the middle of the night, and during the day, he had to face the never-ending quarrels of the courtiers, I understand that as an emperor, I can't help it, and I am lonely and cold in a high place."

The Queen Mother sighed and said slowly, "I never wanted Chen'er to be the emperor, but Chen'er is the son he has been looking forward to for ten years, and the son he has given high hopes, I can't be selfish to stop it, and now I see him from a laughing child to a cold emperor, how much sadness and bitterness there is"

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help shedding tears again, Princess Yongtai gently wiped the tears from the corners of the Queen Mother's eyes with a handkerchief, "I understand, I understand, but I have to say that Your Majesty has done a good job, he has governed Daxuan very well over the years, Su Luo, you are for these days, some courtiers are not comfortable in private calculations for the sake of establishing the future."

The Queen Mother nodded at Princess Yongtai, "I'm uncomfortable, but I'm even more distressed, I feel sorry that Chen'er doesn't even have a confidant around her, although the courtiers say it's good for Your Majesty, but everyone understands that they are doing it for their own selfish desires."

The Queen Mother paused, and a touch of helplessness flashed in her eyes, "There is no one who is sincere, even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, what can it be, it is not for power and status, glory and wealth, and fighting for death and life, I just ask my son to have a person around me who is not for the identity of the emperor, but simply sincerely treats him and really loves him"

Princess Yongtai patted the Queen Mother lightly and said, "There will be" Thinking of this, a person flashed in her heart, maybe she could melt the emperor's cold heart.

Pity the parents of the world, Princess Yongtai looked at the Queen Mother and did not speak, so the two sat quietly.
