Chapter 129: Chinese New Year
"Look, she still blames the mourning family, what? Can't the mourning family love their granddaughter? ”
"Grandmother, mother is envious of your love for your granddaughter, so don't worry about her."
The eldest princess looked at their crooked appearance and shook her head helplessly with a doting smile.
The Empress Dowager's palace is full of joy and excitement.
Chu Xi heard the news that Shen Xianhe and the eldest princess had entered the palace, and after receiving the worship of all the ministers, he asked people to come directly to the empress dowager, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard the laughter and laughter coming from inside, sneered in his heart, and stepped in with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
Seeing Chu Xi walk in, Shen Xianhe and the eldest princess exchanged glances, and the two tacitly opened their eyes.
"Grandmother is so lively here, what are you talking about? I can hear everyone's laughter outside. ”
"It's your cousin Xianhe who hasn't entered the palace to visit the mourning family for a long time because of filial piety, and this time he took advantage of the Chinese New Year to enter the palace to ask for peace to the mourning family, so naturally he wants to be coquettish to the mourning family."
"Grandmother, how can you say that, granddaughter is like this because she misses you so much."
Seeing Shen Xianhe, who was tired of being by the Empress Dowager's side, the smile on Chu Xi's serious face expanded even more.
"Really? Listening to my grandmother say this, I may not have seen my cousin for a long time, and it seems that you have lost a little weight, no matter how sad you are, you should take care of your body. ”
Chu Xi suddenly arrived, Shen Xianhe had already been vigilant in his heart, seeing that he was usually homely, and he also cared about him, and the alarm bell was even louder in her heart, she would not think that Chu Xi would care about her so kindly.
"Thank you cousin for your concern, I'm fine."
Seeing her so cold, Chu Xi was not angry as usual, but nodded to her with a smile and turned his gaze to the eldest princess on the side.
"Auntie's face is not very good-looking, but you have to take good care of yourself, after all, the entire Shen family still needs you to preside over the overall situation, you must not be too sad and sad."
The eldest princess raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, her face was as usual, and she said without half emotion.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern."
"Okay, as soon as you come, make this place so serious, everyone is a family, don't say these unseemly words."
Everyone understood the meaning of Chu Xi's words, and the Empress Dowager also understood, but it was only in order not to make the scene too stiff that she spoke in time to ease up.
"Please don't be surprised by grandmother, it's just that you haven't seen your aunt and cousin for a long time, and I'm the same, seeing that they are not in a very good state, so I talk a little more, since my grandmother dislikes me so much, then I won't bother you, but after a while, my cousin remembers to go to my mother's place to say goodbye, she hasn't seen you for a long time, and she misses you very much."
"Well, thank you cousin for reminding me, I'll go over when I stay with my grandmother a little longer."
"Well, that's good."
After speaking, after saluting the Empress Dowager, he turned around and left.
As soon as he walked out of the Empress Dowager's palace, the smile on Chu Xi's face dissipated, leaving only a fierce sneer, and he took the palace people behind him to the Empress Dowager's palace.
After the emperor left, Shen Xianhe swept the eldest princess's face and became very ugly, and she didn't continue to be in the mood to make jokes, and said in a low voice in the ear of the empress dowager.
"Grandmother, the Su Nianjun that my granddaughter told you about last time, my granddaughter has already brought him, and he is waiting at the door now, do you want him to come in now?"
After hearing that Shen Xianhe had brought Su Nianjun here, the Empress Dowager's face became solemn, and she raised her head and opened her mouth to drive out all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.
"Is he coming?"
"Well, people are right outside the door."
"Okay, this matter is very important, and it is not appropriate for too many people to know, didn't the emperor just ask you to ask the Queen Mother to say goodbye? You go first, the mourning family will see him alone, and when you are sure that he is really that child, it will not be too late to tell you the truth. ”
Although Shen Xianhe didn't know why the Empress Dowager had separated her and didn't let her be present, he also knew that this matter was very important, thinking that this was also the best way, so he obediently bowed to the Empress Dowager and walked out of the palace with the eldest princess.
After walking out of the hall, she saw Su Nianjun waiting at the bottom of the steps, she walked quickly to him and whispered, "Grandmother is already waiting for you in the hall, go, but you must remember, no matter what the final truth is?" Whether you are that child or not, it has nothing to do with my grandmother, and I don't allow you to do anything to make her sad. ”
Su Nianjun looked at Shen Xianhe fixedly, and suddenly, he smiled lightly and said to her in a low voice, "Don't worry, I know, I won't mess around." ”
After finishing his clothes and the mask on his face, he pushed open the door and walked in.
Shen Xianhe watched his figure disappear into the door, she felt a little uneasy, she raised her hand to the position of her heart, and tried to calm it down, before turning her gaze to the eldest princess on the side, seeing that she was also distracted.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmm...... It's nothing, it's just a little tired. ”
When the eldest princess heard her words, she came back to her senses.
"Mother, don't worry, it'll be fine."
Shen Xianhe stretched out his hand to hold the eldest princess's hand, and the two walked out in tacit understanding.
"Well, Mother believes in you."
"Mother, I see that you have a tired look on your face, you have been tossing for so long, and you are tired, Empress Dowager Sun, you don't have to worry about it, I will go alone, you go back to the house first."
"I'm not going, are you going to do it alone? Will the Queen Mother take this opportunity to make things difficult for you? ”
The eldest princess was already unable to bear it because the toxin had spread, but when she thought that Shen Xianhe wanted to go to the Empress Dowager Palace alone, she was very uneasy.
"Mother go back to rest assured, although the Queen Mother Sun looks at her daughter unpleasantly, but she doesn't dare to do it lightly to her daughter, after all, you must avoid the jade bottle when you hunt rats, there is a grandmother, she doesn't dare to act rashly, so don't worry, go back to the house first, and the daughter will come back in a while."
"That's okay, remember not to clash with her head-on, if she makes things difficult for you, just be aggrieved and patient first, and wait until you leave, after all, many things in the palace are not as simple as they seem."
"Oh, mother, don't worry, don't you know your daughter yet? My daughter knows what to do. ”
Shen Xianhe comforted the eldest princess while sending her into the carriage.
After seeing the eldest princess's carriage gradually moving away, she turned around and went to the queen mother's palace.
In the palace of the Empress Dowager, as soon as Su Nianjun, who was wearing a mask, entered the palace, he gave a big salute to the Empress Dowager.
"The grass people see the Empress Dowager."
"Get up."
The Empress Dowager sighed softly.
"The mourning family thought that you were long out of the world, but I didn't expect you to ......."
Su Nianjun sneered.
"Didn't expect me to be alive, did I?"
"Yes, I heard Xianhe say that you are doing well, but your face is ...... Can you give the mourners a look? ”
Su Nianjun was startled at first when he heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to see his face, then took two steps back, reached out to cover the mask on his face, and said resolutely in his mouth.
"Nope."
A look of distress flashed on the Empress Dowager's face.
"Okay, I don't look at it, can you tell me how you've lived for so many years?"
"There's no need to tell you this, the main purpose of my coming, you must be clear, don't waste time, just give me that thing."
"It's not impossible to hand it over to you, but how do you prove that you are the child back then?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed and she looked at him fixedly.
"Quite simply, when I was born. Isn't there a birthmark with a crescent moon on your arm? There are very few people who know about this matter, but the Empress Dowager is one of them, right? ”
"Yes, yes, only a few people knew about this back then, and the mourning family was one of them."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Su Nianjun "brushed" the sleeves open, revealing the birthmark.
Seeing that birthmark, the suspicious look in the Empress Dowager's eyes gradually disappeared, and the expression on her face softened.
"Speaking of which, if those things hadn't happened back then, you would have grown up slowly under the knees of the mourning family, and you would not have suffered so much, and you would not have been so separated from the mourning family, but what happened would not have started again, and now it is normal for you to be so angry with the mourning family."
The Empress Dowager's face became sad, no matter what, Su Nianjun is a royal descendant, although his mother did such a wrong thing, but for Su Nianjun, who was still a child at the time, he was still just a baby, what was wrong?
"As you said, it's impossible to start from scratch what has happened, so why force those who don't have fate, wouldn't it be better for everyone to get along with each other peacefully."
"Just have you thought about it? If this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, according to the emperor's temperament, he will definitely not allow anyone who endangers his throne to continue to live in this world, even if you get the royal family tree that proves your identity, he will not let you go, so why not live like this and live without knowing anything. ”
Su Nianjun looked at the Empress Dowager thoughtfully, and many complicated expressions flashed in her eyes.
"I know that you are for my good, but a person who can't even know his own background, even if he saves his life and lives in the world, please rest assured, I came back not to fight for power, but to find out my own background, so I understand your kindness."
Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, the Empress Dowager gave up and continued to persuade because she had already got the answer she wanted.
"Okay, I hope you will do what you say, just leave after getting that thing, after all, the mourning family also has their own selfishness, and they can't watch this Jiangshan Sheji, which has been stable for many years, become turbulent again because of your arrival."
