Chapter 385: Family Banquet
I don't know how long it took, Ji Mo Xuan woke up groggily and found that the Queen Mother and Zijue were sitting beside him.
Ji Moxuan subconsciously wanted to sit up, but found that the wound behind him was too painful, so he had no choice but to lie back again.
"Brother Wang, don't move......" Zijue was very worried.
But no one noticed that the Empress Dowager's hand had also thought of reaching out to help.
Ji Mo Xuan lay on the bed weakly, but didn't say anything, just looked at Zijue quietly, as if he was feeling guilty for causing trouble to Zijue......
The Queen Mother also sat next to her without saying a word, but her eyes seemed to reveal a little distress, but she also tried to cover up the past.
After all, everyone knows how he treated Jimo Xuan in the past, and now Ji Mo Xuan is desperate to protect the Queen Mother, which seems to make the Queen Mother a little overwhelmed.
"Brother Xuan! Brother Xuan! Jimo Le and Jimo Zhu ran in from outside the hall in a panic, looking very worried......
"Brother Xuan, Zhu'er has just come back from the Jingwei military camp, what's wrong with Brother Xuan?" Jimozhu still likes Jimoxuan very much, and regards him as his brother......
That look of great concern can't be pretended to be no matter what.
"Brother Wang...... Brother Wang, what's wrong....." Ji Mole was also very worried, his face full of doubts and distress.
The Queen Mother sat on the side like this, Zijue sat on the side and watched quietly, Ji Mole and Ji Mo Zhu sat on the steps of the bed with worry and greeted Ji Mo Xuan, and their words were full of worry......
The Queen Mother looked at such a scene, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour, maybe it was at this moment that the Queen Mother suddenly understood how ridiculous what she had done before.
In order to make Zijue's throne have a solid foundation, he actually broke up this originally close brother and sister.
Perhaps, this moment...... The Queen Mother realized that in Zijue's heart, brotherhood was far more important than the throne.
Zijue looked so mature at this time, although his face was full of worries about Jimoxuan, but because he didn't want Jimole and Jimozhu to worry, he disguised himself as a very calm appearance.
Perhaps, at this moment, the Queen Mother also understands that Zijue is not as naïve as she imagined, yes, he ...... It's not a kid for a long time......
The Queen Mother, she should have understood and ...... Try to understand his ...... It's long overdue..... to get to know his ......
The Queen Mother is now full of regret, feeling that she has missed too much, but fortunately, it is still too late to make up for everything......
The Queen Mother looked at these Jimo Le with a smile on her face and wanted to check Jimo Xuan's injuries with a childish face, looked at Jimo Zhu's unstoppable shush and asked for warmth, watched Zijue hide her worries silently in her heart on the side, and watched Jimo Xuan patiently comfort them one by one not to worry too much, and the Queen Mother realized that she was really wrong......
"I'll leave in a moment." Jimo Xuan's gaze passed through Jimo Zhu and Jimo Le and looked at the Queen Mother.
He didn't seem to want to break the trust that the Queen Mother had just established in him, so he would rather drag his weak body and return to the Jingwei military camp day and night, back to the place where the Queen Mother felt safe.....
This alone is enough to show the status of the Queen Mother in Jimo Xuan's heart......
The Queen Mother wanted to stop it, but she didn't know how to speak.
Zijue seemed to see through the Queen Mother's thoughts, and hurriedly helped stop him, "Brother Wang, these days...... Don't go back yet......"
"I ......" Actually, how could Mo Xuan want to leave? Not for this magnificent imperial city, but for my blood relatives here......
"That's it, stay Brother Xuan!" Jimo Zhu seemed to hope that Jimo Xuan could stay in the imperial city for a few days.
"There are still many affairs in the Jingwei military camp, I still ......" Ji Moxuan was more or less worried that the Queen Mother would have a grudge against herself.
"Brother Wang...... It's almost the day of the Imperial City Family Banquet, so don't leave yet......" Zi Jue looked at Jimo Xuan with a smile, and his face seemed to have the maturity of an adult.
"That's right, Brother Wang...... Don't go, eat the family banquet and leave. Jimo Le agreed.
Why didn't Ji Moxuan want to stay?
He looked tentatively at the Queen Mother, and everyone's eyes stayed on the Queen Mother, who was suddenly a little overwhelmed..... Then stay, I'll have to come back sooner or later anyway......"
After saying this, the Queen Mother immediately stood up and turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Seeing the Queen Mother leaving, everyone looked at each other and laughed in unison.
"Brother Wang, before the queen mother...... Don't worry too much, I know what happened today, presumably the queen mother doesn't say it, her heart must be moved, and her attitude and eyes towards Brother Wang have changed a lot...... Stay, Brother Wang, stay......" Zijue continued to persuade Jimo Xuan.
Jimo Zhu also pulled the corner of Jimo Xuan's clothes and shook it gently, "Brother Xuan...... You're just going to stay with Zhu'er......"
Jimo Xuan eats Jimo Bamboo the most, smiled helplessly, and touched Ji Mo Bamboo's head, "You....... Good...... Then I'll ...... Stay for a few days. ”
Ji Mo Xuan was still reluctant to give up on them in his heart, otherwise he would not have agreed so happily.
The Queen Mother left the dormitory, and when she heard everyone laughing in the hall, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, shook her head helplessly, and left with a smile......
The day of the family banquet soon came, the Queen Mother sat in the middle, Zijue sat next to the Queen Mother, together with Qing Yao, opposite Jimo Zhu, Ji Mo Xuan and Ji Mo Le, as well as a few scattered ministers and guards.
There is a table in front of everyone, which is full of all kinds of delicacies, fruits, and vegetables, and the wine cup and wine utensils are neatly placed aside.
A maid came up and poured everyone a full glass of wine.
The Queen Mother picked up the chopsticks, and everyone followed closely and began to eat.
The family banquet is held like this every year, but this time although there is no word, but the atmosphere is filled with the warmth and harmony of home, the Queen Mother found for the first time, such a scene is still very comfortable and pleasant......
Every year in the past, although the family banquet became more and more powerful, there was always some embarrassment in the air, perhaps because of the existence of Jimo Xuan, there was always no smile on the face of the Queen Mother.
Now, since everyone arrived, the smile on the Queen Mother's face has not dissipated......
No one knows why this year's Queen Mother has a smile on her face, and no one notices the scars on Jimo Xuan's back......
They could just see that the Queen Mother didn't seem to mind Jimo Xuan so much......
For the first time, they experienced the warmth and happiness of being a family together, and they had persuaded the Queen Mother to expel Jimo Xuan completely, so as not to worry about the ministers seeing such a scene, and they were very interested in not mentioning it anymore......
They drank and talked merrily....... The Queen Mother said with high interest that Jimo Xuan and Zijue looked when they were immature, which made the originally cold hall warm a lot with laughter......
They've been for a long, long time...... It hasn't been like this......
Maybe it was because he drank too much and was too happy, Zijue forgot what he had always wanted to hide, and talked about his future plans as a king, and the old ministers were impressed, and the queen mother was also shocked and won bursts of applause.......
The Queen Mother was still a little sensitive, she slowly turned her head and looked at Ji Mo Xuan, but she saw that Ji Mo Xuan's eyes were full of relief, and she couldn't stop nodding to Zijue in approval, the Queen Mother seemed to be thinking, perhaps, ....... I was wrong from the start......
On that day, everyone present was very happy......
The Queen Mother kept talking about Zijue and Jimo Xuan's childhood, which made the Queen Mother remember the fragments very much, as well as the difficulties and gratifications when Jimo Le and Jimo Zhu were born......
In fact, these memories are not profound for the Queen Mother? Not unforgettable?
The Queen Mother just sealed them in her heart privately, so as not to make them her weakness...... In fact, the Queen Mother just wanted to help Zijue stabilize her foundation, but she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted......
Zijue excitedly told about the situation of Chaoge over the years, as well as the folds sent by local officials, one by one to tell the helplessness and difficulties of the local people......
In the eyes of others, Zijue, as a king, never reviews the chapter, and doesn't even care about what is written in the chapter, but ...... Every night, Zijue lit the candle and patiently read them one by one, and many times he fell asleep on the desk where he was reviewing the chapters, but in the eyes of others, he ....... It's just that I was forced by others to read the folds, but I still couldn't see anything, so I fell asleep on the desk......
Oh, yes....... Zijue's heart is only known to Zijue......
Qing Yao didn't speak, just listened quietly beside Zijue, from the beginning, she saw it consciously from the first time, for some reason, she just felt that he could do it, he must be very powerful.......
This is not a kind of blind trust, but Qing Yao is aware of everything and can see Zijue's thoughts at a glance......
No wonder Zijue is so haunted by her dreams......
And Jimo Xuan also listened with a smile on the side, as if he was listening to the stories he had never known and heard, as if the 'Xuan'er' in the mouth of the Queen Mother had nothing to do with him......
He just looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, as if he had found warmth for the first time after so many years......
Over the years...... Jimo Xuan seems to be far away from the worldly distractions and intrigue, but in the Jingwei military camp, he must miss Zijue very much....... But in order to prevent the relationship between himself and the Queen Mother from deteriorating further, he didn't even dare to mention it, even if he really missed it, he could only swallow this thought sadly into his heart, and wait for it to disappear silently......
But...... The pain of this longing is only known to Ji Moxuan himself......
But now, as long as the Queen Mother can accept him again, no matter what happened before, Ji Mo Xuan can not take it to heart, because what he lacks is not an enemy who is incompatible with him, but a mother who can give him warmth.......
This...... It is what Jimoxuan has always wanted.......
And Jimole and Jimozhu only drank a few glasses and got drunk unconscious, Jimozhu collapsed on the desk and began to talk nonsense, Jimole danced in the center of the hall, looking very funny, causing laughter and laughter around him......
This scene has been gone for many years...... Luckily, I finally got it back...... I don't have any regrets.......
