Chapter Eighty-Three: Mother and Son's Night Talk

The moonlight is like water, pouring in the Cining Palace.

In the dormitory, the Queen Mother was dressed in a white middle coat, wearing a dark green forehead on her head, and lying on the sickbed with a pale face.

Mama Chen served beside her, her eyes full of worry.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Suddenly, the voice of the eunuch's report sounded, and Mama Chen was startled, and hurriedly led the palace maids to kneel down and salute: "Slaves and maids see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Jin Yantang entered the hall calmly, his eyes were only the queen mother on the sickbed, and he only spit out three words indifferently to these palace maids: "All go out." ”

Fu Pu and Mama Chen glanced at each other, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes, but they both obeyed Jin Yantang's words and took these palace maids out one after another.

Suddenly, only the Queen Mother and Jin Yantang were left in the huge dormitory.

After coming to the bed and sitting down, Jin Yantang brought a cup of hot tea in his hand, and after skimming the foam in the cup, he said lightly to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, drink some water to moisten your throat." ”

Hearing his voice, the Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at Jin Yantang weakly, and said with a pale face: "Tang'er, you are here." ”

Jin Yantang nodded, put the hot tea aside, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head: "Queen Mother, you are not in good health, don't put so much incense powder on your face, after the pale color covers your original ruddy complexion, you look very haggard." ”

Suddenly, the expression on the Queen Mother's face instantly stiffened, she moved her lips, tore off her forehead, glared at him and said, "Why didn't your father see you so smart when he was alive?" ”

Jin Yantang sighed helplessly, helped her up and leaned on the back of the bed, and took a pillow to cushion her.

Then, he said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, you summoned your sons here late at night, do you have anything to say?" ”

The Queen Mother retracted her gaze a little embarrassed, and then said slowly: "The mourning family is not beating around the bush with you, the mourning family asks you, how do you plan to arrange Han'er's residence?" Could it be that she will live in the palace so nameless and without a share in the future? ”

Jin Yantang's eyes flashed slightly, and when he heard the words, he fell silent.

In the guest room of Cining Palace, Red Sleeves said happily to Zhao Kehan: "Princess! Princess! Your Majesty has come to Cining Palace, and it is in the Queen Mother's bedroom! ”

In the middle of the night, he came to the Queen Mother's bedroom?

God help me!

Zhao Kehan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to the red sleeves: "Quick, change the clothes for this princess, and in addition, wrap the Queen Mother's Buddha bead bracelet for me!" ”

"Yes! But mother, don't you need to make up? ”

Red Sleeves listened to Zhao Kehan's instructions and couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

Zhao Kehan glanced at himself in the mirror with a pale complexion and haggard look, suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, and said slowly: "This princess's face without makeup is the best makeup!" ”

Red Sleeves didn't understand what she meant, but she still did what Zhao Kehan told her, changed her into the red dress she usually wears, and put on a simple jasper hairpin for her, and Zhao Kehan went to the Queen Mother's bedroom with a Buddhist bead bracelet.

Seeing that Jin Yantang was silent, the Queen Mother frowned, patted Jin Yantang's hand, and said, "Tang'er, can't the descendants of our Jin family be the ungrateful people, if there was no Han'er back then, would you be able to live until now?" Besides, Han'er has you in her heart, and the mourning family also knows, so you canonized her as a concubine, what does it matter? ”

An impatient look flashed in Jin Yantang's eyes, and he said, "Queen Mother, you don't know who I like in my heart, I owe Han'er, so I will naturally return it to her." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she snorted coldly, shook off his hand and said: "You still only think about that Concubine Chen, she is the daughter of Zuo Xiang, she is already a powerful mother, and she has your favor again, what should you do when the Shang family is in power?" ”

"Queen Mother, you are too worried, I know Zuo Xiang and Lan'er."

Jin Yantang trusts Shang Kelan, and he also trusts Shang Chengyuan, who has always assisted him.

The Queen Mother scolded: "You, you are just obsessed, and you are dazzled by the beauty of the concubine!" ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Jin Yantang's forehead, quite hating that iron could not become steel.

As she was talking, the Queen Mother suddenly coughed rapidly, as if her body was really uncomfortable.

Jin Yantang pursed his lips, picked up the hot tea on the side, skimmed off the foam on the tea for her, and handed the tea to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother took a sip and was relieved, then she raised her eyes and looked at Jin Yantang and said: "No matter what, the mourning family can't let Han'er stay in the harem without a proper name, the mourning family means this, she must be your concubine!" In this way, it is not in vain that Han'er has a heart for you. ”

For Zhao Kehan, the Queen Mother really did her best.

Jin Yantang thought of Shang Kelan, but still shook his head, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, as for Han'er's whereabouts, I have already planned, Meizhou Wen Shangshu has just been removed, and Meizhou can be used as Han'er's fief, and Han'er will be crowned as the county lord, and the title will be 'Jinyang'." ”

"Smack!"

Suddenly, there was the sound of something heavy falling by the door, and I saw a brocade box rolling in, and a string of small leaf rosewood Buddha beads bracelet fell out inside.

Both of them looked at the man by the door in unison.

saw Zhao Kehan standing by the door, looking at the two of them in disbelief, there was a faint flash of water in his eyes, and his eye sockets turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Han'er?"

Jin Yantang frowned and called in a low voice.

The Queen Mother didn't expect Zhao Kehan to appear here at this time, she was stunned for a moment, the air became silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became slightly embarrassing.

The Queen Mother looked at Jin Yantang and then at Zhao Kehan, and then, she broke the deadlock and asked Zhao Kehan with a smile: "Han'er, do you have anything to do here?" ”

When Zhao Kehan heard this, she came back to her senses, she hurriedly lowered her head and wiped her tears, then raised her head, and reluctantly smiled at the Queen Mother: "Too...... Queen Mother, I ...... The folk girl is here to return your bracelet. ”

After saying this, she seemed to have just reacted, hurriedly squatted on the ground, picked up the Buddha bead bracelet, wiped it in her hand, carefully put it into the brocade box, and then handed the brocade box to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother paused, reached out and pushed the brocade box back to her, and said with a smile and kindness: "Han'er, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Kehan stood in front of her, his head lowered, his eyes flickering, very aggrieved.

The Queen Mother glared at Jin Yantang, then pulled Zhao Kehan to sit down beside her, and said: "Han'er, since this Buddha bead bracelet was won by you from the mourning family at the lotus appreciation banquet, then you will take it, this bracelet has been with the mourning family for several years, and it is stained with Buddha gas, I can bless you, and my wish will come true!" ”

She deliberately mentioned that her wishes came true, but Zhao Kehan was not very interested, and she was still very disappointed.

The Queen Mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes in distress, and said, "Lovely son of mourning family, don't cry, what His Majesty said just now...... Did you hear that? ”

Zhao Kehan hesitated, lowered his eyelids, and nodded.
