A low and thick voice came, Concubine Zheng raised her head with great difficulty, and when she saw the familiar cheeks, the corners of her mouth slowly hooked up a smile, "Your Majesty, is it really you?" ”

"What's wrong with you, why are your clothes wet. But it rained. Glancing up at the sky, "Why don't you tell me when you come, what are you doing, if you are sick, you are the one who is uncomfortable." ”

"Your Majesty, are you still angry?" Concubine Zheng Guifei picked up the food box and handed it over, "Your Majesty, this breakfast is really made by the concubine herself, it may not taste very good, but this is the concubine's intention, do you want to taste it." ”

Concubine Zheng's face was pale and terrifying, obviously she was already weak, but she struggled to open the food box. The emperor stared at her, thinking of what he had just said, his face sank, "Li Fuxi, why didn't Concubine Zheng tell me when she came?" ”

Li Fuxi knew that he was going to suffer when he saw the emperor's nervous and worried expression after the emperor came out. But he is the old man next to the emperor in the end, and he can guess the emperor's mind with a word and a look from the emperor.

"The emperor is angry, the slave did ask the emperor before, the emperor ......"

The emperor had been struggling with Huangfu Xue's affairs in the morning, and his face was indeed a little not very good, and he even said that he didn't see anyone, but Zheng Guifei waited outside all day, even if he was a little unhappy at first, and then Li Fuxi didn't know to ask again?

Today's incident is obviously Li Fuxi's dereliction of duty, the emperor has the heart to investigate, the afterglow swept over Concubine Zheng, seeing that she was trembling and might faint at any time, he stretched out his hand to hug the person, "How about it, but where is it uncomfortable, I will pass the imperial doctor now." ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine is fine, the concubine is just a little dizzy, you send the concubine back to rest and it will be fine." When Concubine Zheng was sick, she was very much like her when she was young, weak, generous, and sensible. For a moment, the emperor seemed to see her many years ago.

Reached out and took the food box, let Father-in-law Li carry it, picked up the pastries inside and ate a few bites, "It's delicious, it's really delicious, it's still the same taste as before." ”

"The emperor likes it. Yesterday's thing was that the concubine was not good, and the concubine knew that it was wrong, so the emperor forgave the concubine once, okay? Zheng Guifei only had the emperor in her eyes, she didn't care about her discomfort, she grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and her face was full of expectation.

The emperor suddenly felt a little guilty, he always felt that Concubine Zheng Guifei had changed, became strange, and became no longer what she used to be, but she never thought about why she became what she is now, and for whom she became like this.

The memories of the past seemed to all come to mind, and the emperor picked up Concubine Zheng Guifei and sent people back to the palace in the rain despite the obstruction of Gonggong Li. When the palace maid saw Niangniang coming back, she immediately became busy. When Concubine Zheng went to wash, the emperor glared at Gonggong Li unhappily.

"You are the old man next to me, I have always felt that you know the general situation, know how to advance and retreat, and know what to do and what not to do, but today you really disappointed me." The emperor's eyes were full of anger, "Go to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the 20th board, and be fined for one year, if you commit it again, I don't mind changing your position." ”

"Yes, thank you, minion, Your Majesty." Soon after Gonggong Li left, Concubine Zheng Guifei changed her clothes and came out, and saw that the emperor's smile was still a little deeper, "Your Majesty, you are also drenched in the rain, and the concubine has asked you to prepare the bath water, hurry up and go in to wash, if you get the cold, it will be troublesome." ”

"Okay, Aifei waits, I'll come when I go." At this hour, the emperor is bathing here, I'm afraid he won't leave tonight, Zheng Guifei looked at the emperor's back, and thought to herself, although she has suffered a lot of sins today, as long as the emperor can stay, these hardships are nothing.

One night passed, and the next day there was news in the palace that Zheng Guifei was favored again, and the other concubines were angry when they heard the news and smashed a lot of valuable vases.

"Okay, this concubine is in a good mood today, pass the order, and the palace maids and eunuchs on duty today will all be rewarded."

"Thank you, Niangniang." The palace maid knelt down to thank them, for them, the reward is not the most important, the mood of the mother is the most important, as long as the mother is in a good mood, their life can be a little better, otherwise...... The mother is in a bad mood, and they will also suffer.

At this time, on Dongcheng Street, four people in ordinary clothes who could still see patches when they looked carefully came to the door of the Huangfu's restaurant, and the woman pointed to the restaurant with a look of envy, | If we can also go here for a meal, it would be worth it for my mother to die now. ”

"What is my mother talking about, it's just a meal, and my son invites my mother to eat." The man felt that the woman was a bit embarrassed to say this, and said cheerfully with a wave of his big hand.

The woman next to her glanced at her with disgust, "It's just you, we don't know how much money you have, but I heard that eating here is not cheap, be careful and don't have the money to pay the bill." ”

"Yes, little brother, let's go somewhere else to eat, now we have spent almost all the money we brought, if we can't find the eldest brother, we can't find any other livelihood, we will sleep on the streets."

The woman next to her has a needle-shaped birthmark on her face, on the left side of her face, which is not obvious from a distance, but it is still obvious when you look closely. The woman seemed to have some inferiority, obviously speaking, but she kept her head down, as if she was afraid of something.

The man didn't appreciate it, and glared at them dissatisfied, "This is my mother's wish, as a child, you don't think about how to make your mother happy, and you even pull my hind legs, are you so filial to your mother?" ”

"Fourth, don't go too far, who are we saying this for, it's not that I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed, what kind of place is this, is it a place for you to go wild casually, be careful and wait for someone to beat you out." The woman spoke sharply, and although her clothes were a little shabby, she still couldn't hide her beautiful face.

When the woman saw that her daughter had counted her treasures, she immediately quit, stepped forward and slapped her on the head, "How can you talk to your brother, what did my mother say to you, your brother is the treasure of our family, you all have to let her and spoil her." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she pulled the man over with a distressed face, looked up and down a few times, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the man was not unhappy, "Mingdong, let's not have the same knowledge as An Wanru, you want to take your mother in to eat delicious food, go, let's go now." ”

An Wan stomped her feet angrily when she saw that her mother didn't know the hearts of good people, "Go, go, don't blame me for not reminding you when I'm kicked out." "Turn away from them.

Seeing that they didn't go in, An Ming immediately smiled, "Mother, let's go, just the two of us, my son still invites you." ”

When the woman heard this, she was even more happy, and she did not care about her two daughters, and followed her son into the restaurant. It will be noon, the restaurant is overcrowded, An Mingdong looked for a long time to find an empty seat, pulled the woman to sit down, and then the shopkeeper came over.

"What do you want objectively?"

An Mingdong was just about to open his mouth and order two cheap tooth sacrifices, but before he could say anything, the woman said anxiously, "Bring one of the signature dishes of your restaurant." By the way, another pot of good wine. ”

"Okay, please wait a minute." The shopkeeper went down, and An Mingdong hadn't come back to his senses yet, "Mother, are you crazy, didn't you see the price on the menu just now, we have so much money on us, just your method, I'm afraid it won't be enough to pay for the meal later." ”

The woman was still proud just now, thinking that even if they entered the capital, they could still be as wanton as in Jiangnan, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was not yet full, and when she heard An Mingdong's words, she immediately panicked, "That...... So what should we do, if we can't afford to pay later, what will they do if they arrest us to the government. ”

"What to do, now I know what I want to do, what did I do just now. Mother, I've told you a few times, it's not in Jiangnan now, and there isn't much to do when you slam the door, if you can't find the eldest brother, we're afraid we'll have to beg all the way back. ”

Although An Mingdong's words were a bit heavy, they were the truth. The woman pursed her lips with some disdain, "Your sixth uncle said that he saw your eldest brother, and your eldest brother must be here." Okay, Mingdong, my mother knows that you don't like my mother to always mention your eldest brother, but whether you admit it or not, she is your eldest brother, no matter where he is, as long as there is hope, my mother will keep looking for it. ”

An Mingdong saw that the woman's face was wrong, as if she was about to cry at any time, and hurriedly coaxed, "Mother, I just said casually, why are you still serious, okay, look for it, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we will definitely find the eldest brother." ”

said so on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart, after looking for so many years, it was not that there was no news at all, and any big brother became a big official, it was all a lie. His mother believed the nonsense of the sixth uncle, and even rushed all the way from Jiangnan for those things that came out of nothing.

"The food for the two of you is coming...... Miss Dian put the food on and left, the two looked at the table full of food, and suddenly their faces were wonderful.

"Mingdong, we can't finish eating so many dishes, why don't you ask your two sisters to come in and eat together?" The woman didn't say this because she felt sorry for her two daughters, but because she paid attention to something else, An Mingdong saw it at a glance, so she agreed without thinking about it.

An Wan was thinking about what to eat before they left, when he saw An Mingdong walking out of the restaurant. turned around to leave, but was pulled by the stupid sister.

"Second sister, where are you going, Ming Dong is coming to us, why don't we listen to what he has to say first."

"Say anything, if you have to wait for you, you will wait here, I don't want to be the wrongdoer." She is not a fool like the third child, An Mingdong and his mother were so imposing when they just entered, how could they come back to them if something didn't happen.

Her instincts told her that the two of them must be up to something. So no matter what they say, she doesn't listen.

"Second sister, third sister, why are you still standing here, my mother asked me to tell you to hurry in, the food is almost cold." An Mingchen knew that his second sister had a lot of eyes, so he deliberately approached her, "Second sister, the food in this restaurant is really delicious, and according to my observation, the people who go in are all characters with heads and faces, doesn't the second sister want to marry a wealthy family?" If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have it again. ”
