137, adoptive mother
Huo Yunqian really didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who should have been pampered, looked at it from a close distance, and her complexion was clearly dying.
What's even more terrifying is that her left eye is covered with a thick layer of white puff, which looks a little crazy, obviously suffering from cataracts.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Wen could only use her right eye to try to get closer and look at Huo Yunqian's appearance.
After just taking such a quick look, Huo Yunqian lowered his head, and looked at the Empress Dowager Wen, his palms were slightly sweaty.
Empress Dowager Wen gently patted the back of her hand, and then waved her hand, Huo Yunqian listened to the sound of rustling clothes, and quietly raised his eyes to see that it was the palace maids and eunuchs next to him who had retreated.
Empress Dowager Wen spoke again: "Okay, there is no one else here, you don't have to be so restrained in front of the mourning family." ”
Her voice changed suddenly, no longer as if she was just dying, though still not as energetic as a young man.
Huo Yunqian raised his head hesitantly, only to find that Empress Dowager Wen's expression had also changed after everyone left, and she was obviously much more energetic.
Inexplicably, Huo Yunqian felt as if he knew something terrible.
What is the Queen Mother pretending to be...... Is it for whom?
Only she and Empress Dowager Wen were left in the huge palace, as well as an aunt who was obviously a confidant.
Aunt Shuangyue re-poured tea for the two of them, and Empress Dowager Wen took a sip and said lightly: "The mourning family has also heard a lot about your previous affairs, so the mourning family confessed that they originally did not approve of the marriage between Shaoling and you."
"But you have done a great service to the court, and this is what everyone sees; Now that the mourning family has also seen you with their own eyes, it is indeed good, so that Shaoling can have a companion, and the mourning family is also down-to-earth. ”
Huo Yunqian responded in a low voice, and his attitude became more and more respectful.
But this attitude didn't seem to be what Empress Dowager Wen wanted, she stared at Huo Yunqian for a moment, coughed, and said, "In your heart, you must want to know, why are the mourning family so concerned about Shaoling?" ”
Aunt Frost Moon next to her raised her head and stopped talking.
Actually, I don't want to know-Huo Yunqian said so in her heart, and if it weren't for the Queen Mother suddenly mentioning this, she wouldn't have thought of asking this.
But the Queen Mother's attitude seemed to be covering up something on the surface, but Huo Yunqian had clearly felt that the Queen Mother was clearly eager to be asked questions by her.
Obviously, he is only a few years older than his old mother, Mrs. Feng...... The temperament of this queen mother is really strange and elusive.
Huo Yunqian had no choice but to follow Empress Dowager Wen's words and said: "The Empress Dowager is the mother of the Son of Heaven, and naturally she is also the mother of several princes, and the prince is the youngest, and it is normal for the young son to be favored by his mother." ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought that she was at least ten years younger than her brothers and sisters, no wonder her mother, Mrs. Feng, and her brothers and sisters doted on her the most.
Empress Dowager Wen frowned slightly, as if she was not very satisfied with her perfunctory answer.
She coughed lightly again, and then said: "Empress Xian Min died early, when Shaoling was only four years old, the first emperor took pity on her young mother, and handed it over to the mourning family to raise, for many years, their brothers and the mourning family are like mother and son......"
Huo Yunqian listened silently, she knew that Empress Xian Min was Xu Hui's biological mother, and she was also ...... Raindrop Book House
Wait, she seems to hear the word "brother"?
Empress Dowager Wen seemed to realize something, raised her hand to cover her lips, and looked a little uncomfortable, "The mourning family is ...... say"
"The emperor has arrived!" Wang Dehai's voice came faintly, Huo Yunqian stood up when he heard it, and Empress Dowager Wen instantly returned to her old and sick appearance.
Emperor Qingning stepped into the hall, and Huo Yunqian and Aunt Shuangyue immediately saluted him.
He waved his hand, as if he was not surprised by his mother's appearance at all, and said with a smile: "Mother came back suddenly this time, and my son just came after the end of the previous dynasty, I hope that my mother will not blame my son for being negligent." ”
Empress Dowager Wen said in a low voice: "The emperor has every opportunity, how dare the mourning family complain." Frost Moon, show the emperor tea. ”
"No." Aunt Shuangyue poured tea for Emperor Qingning as she said.
Emperor Qingning sat down very casually, calmly took a sip of tea, and turned his gaze to Huo Yunqian, with some concern, "The Guogong Mansion has been busy these days, right?" Even if it's not the first time, but Shaoling's marriage is still a big deal in the end, and it's to be happy, and I hope that the county lord of Ningsu won't complain about me. ”
"The courtiers don't dare." Huo Yun lowered his eyes, and he felt a hehe in his heart, this old fox, has reached such a time, and he still wants to use his second marriage to respond to her?
Empress Dowager Wen's voice interjected at the right time: "The mourning family is also talking to her about this." The mourning family felt early on that the people of the Lin family were not blessed, but now they have all come true one by one, and Shaoling was confused back then, so she had to be. If I could have set a shallow girl like this, I don't know how much worry I could have saved. ”
Huo Yun grinned, when the old man married Lin Ni, she was just a yellow-haired girl who didn't even reach the ancient age of marriage, okay, even if the Queen Mother hurt Xu Huo again, she wouldn't take a fancy to her.
"Mother laughed, if it weren't for the antecedents, how could the seventh brother get together with the county lord now?" Emperor Qingning smiled, "According to your son, you should talk to the county lord more about the rules of the bride, after all, the seventh brother's body is really not very good now, and my son hopes that the county lord can really bring him 'joy'." ”
Empress Dowager Wen bowed slightly, but her expression was a little sluggish, and she muttered, "But...... In the end, people are old, not very useful, and people are still a little confused......"
Emperor Qingning stared at her face and pondered for a moment, Huo Yunqian wasted no time in interjecting: "Emperor Qi, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Niangniang returned to the palace today, it must be a tiring journey that caused physical discomfort, and the courtiers might as well come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to listen to the teachings." ”
Empress Dowager Wen lowered her head, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, but she also felt relieved.
Emperor Qingning turned his head and glanced at Huo Yunqian, and seemed to smile, "In the future, the county lord will be a family, and there will be more time to talk to the queen mother." ”
"No, as long as the Queen Mother is not annoying, the courtiers will come more." Huo Yunqian replied respectfully.
Emperor Qingning choked, and for a while he couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking, so he had to throw his hand and leave.
Huo Yunqian lowered his head, heard his footsteps leaving, exhaled a long breath, and raised his eyes to find that Aunt Shuangyue on the other side was looking at her with a smile.
She smiled back, but felt helpless in her heart.
Is she really stupid, can't she hear the weirdness and temptation between the mother and son?
It's strange to say, why are the mother and son still so wary of each other......
I thought that Empress Dowager Wen was just perfunctory to Emperor Qingning just now, but who knew that she was really tired and asked Aunt Shuangyue to send Huo Yunqian out of the palace, but she also told Huo Yunqian to enter the palace again tomorrow to talk to her.
The two walked to the gate of the palace, Huo Yunqian was thinking about how to explain to Aunt Shuangyue that he didn't want to take the carriage in the palace to go home, and suddenly saw the familiar carriage outside the palace gate and He Yinfeng standing by the carriage, and his eyes lit up instantly.
