After many years of separation, when they met again, the girl was already the regent queen mother in power.

I have to say that the heart of Pingyang County Lord Xiao was excited and apprehensive, and he hesitated for a moment before he was ready to bow down.

Empress Dowager Yan hurriedly helped her mother up, tears rolling in her eyes.

"Does my mother want me to reduce my life? If I have received a gift, am I still a human being? ”

It wasn't until this moment that Xiao's uneasy heart fell to the ground.

The girl has not changed, she is still the same little girl back then.

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, relieving the pain of lovesickness.

I cried happily, and my eyes were red and swollen.

The chamberlain led the little emperor to arrive.

Empress Dowager Yan hurriedly introduced the two grandchildren.

The little emperor Xiao Yan pretended to be an adult and respectfully performed a junior salute.

Xiao Shi got up and avoided, "Your Majesty is really handsome, and he looks like the first emperor." ”

"Everyone said so, even the old ministers of the court said that they saw His Majesty sitting on the Jinluan Palace, as if they saw the first emperor."

Empress Dowager Yan touched the little emperor's head, "What about my sister?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

"After returning to my mother, my sister occasionally felt a cold and was afraid of being sick, so she couldn't come. She asked me to greet her mother and grandmother on her behalf. Gai Ming's child has recovered from his illness and will definitely be invited. ”

"Ah, Hongu almost forgot about it. Look at my brain, I've been so busy lately that I've neglected Jianing. ”

Empress Dowager Yan blamed herself in her tone, and hurriedly explained to her mother, "A few days ago, Jianing was playful, got up in the middle of the night to listen to the sound of falling rain, but caught a cold, and has been sick for several days and has not recovered. ”

"As a mother, you should also take the time to care more about your daughter." Shaw's tone was as gentle as possible.

After all, the daughter is the queen mother of the dynasty, and it is not what it used to be.

As an elder, she can't blame the queen mother.

Even if the girl doesn't care, it is difficult to ensure that the eunuchs in the palace will make irresponsible remarks and cause criticism in the court.

Empress Dowager Yan nodded heavily, "What Mother said is that I neglected Jianing. Hey, my daughter is older, and she has her own thoughts, so I don't want to say it. To know what she was thinking, you had to guess. ”

The little emperor interjected at this time, "My sister misses her father and often cries. ”

When Empress Dowager Yan heard this, she suddenly felt ashamed.

She blamed herself: "I am such a derelict mother who ignores even such obvious things. ”

Xiao's heart moved, "If you are worried that Jianing will miss the first emperor and be cranky, it is better to arrange some errands for Jianing." Your fourth sister often said that once a person is busy, he has no time to think nonsense, and the whole person can quickly cheer up. ”

"It's like what the fourth sister would say. It's just that what errand should I arrange for Jianing? ”

"There is no women's school run by the imperial court in Jianzhou, so it is better to take this opportunity to run a women's school. Jianing is a princess, so she asked her to preside over this matter and learn how to do things. ”

Empress Dowager Yan hesitated.

She explained in a low voice: "Not long after the death of the first emperor, the myriad things have not yet been straightened out, and it is probably not appropriate to propose that the imperial court set up a women's school at this time." Even if it does, it will have to wait a little longer, at least until next year. ”

"You have a point. I don't know what Jianing likes about Shen? ”

"I love reading!"

"Or give her an errand at Lantai Temple, and tell her to go to Lantai Temple to sort out books and manuscripts. It's better to have something to do than to be idle every day. Just like this palace, she runs the Royal Women's College all the year round, not only does she not feel tired, but her spirit is much better, and there are only some colds and flu in the past few years, and each time it can be cured in a few days. ”

Empress Dowager Yan looked at her mother Xiao, her complexion was really good, and her spirit looked quite good.

It's not like someone who has just disembarked and is tired from the journey.

She laughed, "I was relieved to hear that my mother was in good health. Later, I asked Jianing in person, and I didn't know if she would like to. ”

"It's time to ask for it yourself."

……

The Xiao family naturally settled in the palace.

The mother and daughter have endless words.

When Yan Yunfei's letter arrived, Empress Dowager Yan struggled.

"I haven't seen my eldest sister for many years, even if Shi Wen doesn't mention it, I want my eldest sister to live in Jianzhou for a while. Unexpectedly, the eldest sister refused Shi Wen's invitation, and asked me to help dispel Shi Wen's thoughts. Hey, the big sister just thinks too much, always suspicious of Shi Wen, and suspicious of me. ”

"She is also taking precautions, worried that in the future, you and Shi Wen will disagree and there will be disputes, and her position is also very embarrassing."

"Mother said that it was something that could happen in the future. Now, the palace gets along well with the three auxiliary ministers, and the eldest sister can come to Jianzhou to live for half a year, and it should be regarded as a reunion with her mother. ”

Xiao Shi stared at her and hesitated: "Do you really want Yun Fei to come to Jianzhou to live for a while?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan said with certainty and certainty: "Of course! I hope not only the eldest sister will come, but also the fourth sister will come. The three of us sisters have the opportunity to be reunited, so why do we have all kinds of concerns?

As the queen mother of the dynasty, doesn't Bengong even have the ability to protect the two sisters?

Don't look at our orphans and widows, like rootless duckweed, the first emperor has actually considered all aspects a long time ago, leaving me a group of available people, and it is no problem to protect myself. ”

Xiao Shi pondered and said: "Otherwise, you send a letter to Yun Fei and ask her to live in Jianzhou for a period of time, and then you should see the palace." As for your fourth sister, I'm afraid there is no way. She's really busy, and there's countless errands waiting for her to get ideas every day. ”

Empress Dowager Yan nodded, her face suspicious.

Xiao Shi was a little nervous after that.

She asked the other party, "Just say what you want to say, your mother naturally knows everything about you, and she has nothing to say." ”

"Thank you, Mother. The fourth sister refused to come to Jianzhou, being busy is one thing, the fundamental reason is that she has a weak heart, and she is afraid that someone will be unfavorable to her, right? ”

Empress Dowager Yan's eyes were earnest, she wanted to get the real answer.

She said one after another: "Since I became the queen mother, the fourth sister doesn't trust me, right? She thought I had changed, that I would deal with her for the good of the court, didn't she? ”

"It's not like that. Yun Ge and Yun Fei actually have the same idea, and they can't bear to embarrass you. As you said, not long after the first emperor left, the people in the court were moved. Your fourth sister's identity is not ordinary, if she comes to Jianzhou unexpectedly, she may cause criticism and turmoil among the courtiers. Don't get her wrong. ”

When Empress Dowager Yan heard this, she laughed, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.

She is a widow, but she is also a young widow, and although she has two children, she still has charm and charm.

Especially when you laugh, it's especially beautiful and moving.

Xiao sighed in his heart, his daughter was young and widowed, and she suffered.

Empress Dowager Yan said: "I believe in my mother, and I also believe in my fourth sister. But I still hope that there is a chance that the fourth sister can come to Jianzhou to live for a few days. I haven't seen her for years, and I don't know what she looks like now, and how she is different from when she was younger. ”

"The appearance of your fourth sister hasn't changed much over the years. The biggest change is that he holds power all year round, is in a high position, and his momentum is different. ”

"That's what Mother said. The fourth sister is very capable, and I often say that the fourth sister is a role model for women. Last time, my mother proposed to let Jianing come out to do things, and I mentioned it to her. Jianing was interested, but she didn't seem to be very happy to go to Lantai Temple. I told her to let her pick her own place when she got better. ”

"Jianing is a good boy, and so is Your Majesty. Although the first emperor is gone, it is also a blessing to have two children with him. ”

"Hongu also often considers himself a blessed man."

Empress Dowager Yan smiled embarrassedly, "I often think that how can I be so valued by the first emperor, and be appointed as the regent queen mother to assist the emperor." I was afraid that I would not do well and let him down, so I often warned myself to think twice before acting and not to act impulsively. Mother, I asked my eldest sister to come to Jianzhou, it's not impulsive! ”

Xiao said affirmatively: "Of course not! That's sisterhood, it's a family matter. ”

But in the eyes of the courtiers, it was a business matter. My sister is Shi Wen's wife, and her arrival will inevitably arouse suspicion among some people. However, even so, Hongu will not change his mind. ”

Her eyes were steadfast and sharp.

As the queen regent, she has the authority in her hands, and she is not allowed to be 'willful' once, which is simply ridiculous.

If the courtiers criticize her, they will come at her.

Besides, with three auxiliary ministers standing in front of her, she didn't believe that the courtiers below could make waves.

……

Things were so happily decided.

Empress Dowager Yan personally replied to Yan Yunfei and earnestly invited her to live in Jianzhou for a year and a half, with her mother Xiao as her companion, and she was full of filial piety.

A few days later, Yan Yunfei received the letter and was in a dilemma.

"I didn't know that my mother went to Jianzhou and still lived in the palace, so I could refuse again and again. But this time, it was the Queen Mother's own letter, and her mother was also in Jianzhou. ”

Ay!

She's conflicted.

Her heart was struggling and tearing.

On the one hand, there is denial and rejection, and on the other hand, there is heartbeat and filial piety.

The confidant mother persuaded: "Since the county lord's mother is also in Jianzhou, if the lady does not go, she will go to Jianzhou for a trip, which will be regarded as full filial piety." Mrs. often said that she never returned to her parents' house after getting married. This time I went back to Jianzhou, I thought I was going back to my mother's home. ”

Yan Yunfei smiled bitterly, "It's different!" How can Jianzhou be equated with his mother's family, that is, Longtan Tiger's Den. Once I went to Jianzhou, it was difficult to get out. Hou Ye was afraid that he would be so happy that he would provoke me, and he encouraged me to enter the palace twice in three days. I really hate him. ”

She really dislikes Shi Wen, her desire for profit, and her desire for power is too much.

Don't come to the strange thing again, fool around, beware of putting your life into it.

"Madame really wants to leave, and the slave thinks that Master Hou may not be able to stop her. Madame tried to go to Jianzhou to live for a while, and if she didn't feel good, it would not be too late to leave and come back. Moreover, the Queen Mother's face must always be given. If the lady refuses the queen mother, the slave is worried that it will hurt the sisterhood. ”

"You have a point. can't refute the face of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is not what it used to be, and her letter is equivalent to the Queen Mother's decree. If I refute it directly, it will be too uninteresting. That's it, that's it! This time, I had the courage to go to Jianzhou to break through and see a rich and gentle township. ”
