Chapter 189: Growing Old with My Son (Final Chapter)

Previous Chapter

Ministers meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Hu Yanshu leaned over and bowed, obviously about the same age as Jian Ning, but he already looked old. The wind-like young man back then had been crushed by the years and busy official duties, so that he could no longer assist the new emperor, so he had to return to his hometown and recuperate.

"Let's be flat."

Zhengde said lightly, "In the end, it is still the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River that raises people, and Aiqing looks a lot better." ”

Jian Ning frowned.

Did you take the wrong medicine today?

Hu Yanshu ignored the sarcasm in Zhengde's words, anyway, the older he gets, the more stingy he becomes, and he always responds to his desire to marry the queen back then, and he has been used to stabbing him in the past few years, but the queen doesn't know.

"The courtier Lu Shi meets Your Majesty, meets the Queen Mother, long live my emperor! The queen mother is a thousand years old! ”

"Get up."

Jian Ning said with a smile: "Sister-in-law looks so good. Now that my brother has returned to my hometown, my sister-in-law doesn't have to endure the pain of separation, and my brother's body can be taken care of by you. Bizhu ......"

"The slave is here."

"Let your family go and load the supplements brought by the palace from the palace into the car, and let your sister-in-law and brother take them away."

"Courtier, thank the queen for her reward."

Zhengde calmed his face, suddenly got up, and said, "You brothers and sisters are catching up, and I have gone to shoot arrows." ”

Jian Ning watched him leave, very inexplicable. The Lu family, who didn't know Hu Yanshu and Jian Ning's past, was also surprised, and said with some apprehension: "Niangniang, the emperor is ...... this."

"Don't pay attention to it, people will be weird when they reach a certain age."

Hu Yanshu laughed, "The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, Your Majesty just wants to live in seclusion with his sister in the palace, and doesn't want anyone to disturb him!" ”

"The older my brother gets, the more he is in shape, sister-in-law, you have to take care of him."

Lu Shi smiled and said: "I've been like this all my life, where can I manage it......"

The three of them talked and laughed for a long time, Zhengde hid outside the door and listened more and more angry, and then simply went to the garden, snatched the dust in Zhang Yong's hand and poured the flowers and plants.

I didn't chase after me when I was angry, this husband and wife should be ......

He is becoming more and more inseparable from her, always centering on her, but she is good, she doesn't feel at ease at all, and even makes less and less of her favorite dishes, and eats grass for herself.

When he waited until noon, he returned to the main room, and saw Jian Ning arranging the meal, he sneered, "Finished reminiscing?" Laughing to say? Why don't you leave anyone to eat? ”

"With your face that can't be cut by a knife, where do I dare to leave my brother for dinner?"

Jian Ning said angrily: "Who recruited you to provoke you again?" The older you get, the more weird you become, you weren't like this before, but now the turtle is hairy, like a mother-in-law. ”

"Jian Yunshu!"

Zhengde's eyes widened, "You dare to say that I look like a girl?!" ”

"Isn't it?"

Jian Ning pouted, "Look at you now...... A little sesame seed-sized thing is also quietly considered...... If you want me to say, have you suddenly become the emperor and lost in your heart? ”

"Shh

Zhengde pouted, "I don't want to be this emperor for a long time!" Wait, what are you shifting the subject? It's obvious that you are cold and indifferent to me now, is it that I can't give you glory, and your true form is revealed? ”

"Yes, yes, I'm just a woman who loves power, you're not the emperor now, I don't love you anymore, okay?"

Jian Ning rolled her eyes, "Are you still eating?" Don't eat me and feed the dogs? ”

"Jian Yunshu!"

Zhengde was furious, "You deceive people too much! If I don't eat it, how can the king of my hall be the one who eats the food that comes from it?! ”

"Yo, you lost your temper?"

Jian Ning smiled and unveiled the casserole, "I also thought about making up for you, in addition to making braised mutton, I also made you braised pork trotters in sauce, as well as this cold-cut pork liver, since you don't eat it, it will be cheaper for our dogs." ”

"Humph!"

Zhengde looked at the casserole, the pig's trotters were so good-looking that he drooled when he looked at it. But think about this person who doesn't take himself seriously and is angry now, he must give her some color to see, and resolutely don't eat it!

"Where can I eat without a bite? I'm out for a walk! ”

Jian Ning smiled and said, "Where are you going?" I'll go too. ”

"I don't take you."

Zhengde pouted, the action was similar to Jian Ning's, and even his demeanor was similar, "I'm happy to go." There are eight years of sealed wine in Xinglong Garden, the so-called Lanling wine tulips, the jade bowl holds amber light, and the eight-year-old sealed Lanling wine is really amber, hehe, I will go to my own pleasure, and I will not take you. ”

"Don't."

Jian Ning tugged at his sleeve, "What a good dish this is, what a pity to feed the dog?" Why don't we take the food and sit on the small building of the Xinglong Garden, listen to the songs, and drink and have a lot of fun? ”

Seeing her pull herself, the corners of a certain arrogant mouth curled involuntarily, but her mouth was humming and chirping: "If you want to go, you can do it, you call me a husband, everyone here calls me that." ”

"Poof! Which nonsense do you listen to? It's called like this in the green building, don't you still want to go up to the green building? ”

Zhengde immediately blushed, and suddenly said a little angrily: "Do you want to go?!" ”

"Go, of course! Bizhu, quick, let your family go to find the boat, the Emperor Taishang is going to Xinglong Garden, let those guards dress up in civilian clothes, and let's go into the city quietly. ”

"Jian Yunshu, why are you slippery when you get old?"

Zhengde suddenly said: "You obviously don't want me to go." ”

"I want to go, but I want to go secretly. Otherwise, let's finish eating......"

Jian Ning beckoned to him, "Come over with your ears." ”

Zhengde leaned over, and Jian Ning said softly: "What if we two sneak out to play?" Go to the teahouse in Dajue Temple to listen to the commentary, go to Ma Fuxing to eat snacks, and sugar porridge. ”

Zhengde's eyes widened more and more, and he suspected that the old woman in front of him had been dropped, how could a person who had been honest all his life become crazy when he got older? Anyway, this kind of thing......

Wasn't it his patent before?

With a stomach full of questions, Zhengde sat down, and he didn't have the heart to eat, so he ate hastily, and said tentatively: "Leave now?" ”

Jian Ning smiled and said, "Let's go now." ”

"How to get there?"

"How did you get out of the palace before?"

Old Zhengde's face turned red and he ordered: "There are no eunuchs here, there are no clothes to wear." ”

Jian Ning said with a smile: "Bizhu, let your family go to the car, just say that you will listen to my instructions to go to the Zhuangzi to get some food." ”

Bizhu smiled and said, "Niangniang, you have to invite Aunt Wu for this matter, no one dares to investigate her doing this." ”

"Okay, okay, let go of your Aunt Wu, she's a lot older, let her rest, she's here to support the elderly, isn't she leaving everything to you? Hurry up, you have the right not to expire and invalidate, so that you can be in charge of the car. ”

Zhengde was dumbfounded, until he left the palace and got on the boat at the Xiacheng Bridge pier.

Jian Ning is so skilled in doing this thing? Could it be that she secretly came out without telling herself when she was in the palace?

Seeing Zhengde's expression, Jian Ning snorted coldly, "What are you suspicious again?" You old thing, don't talk about the ghost eyes of the old belly, and you have become a lot of eyes when you look at people. ”

Zhengde was told the central matter, his face turned red, and he said, "I didn't think about anything......

"Come on."

Jian Ning said: "I'm too lazy to quarrel with you, let's go to the bow of the boat to see the scenery, in the south of the Yangtze River, the scenery on the canal can't be missed, the canopy boat, the willow hangs, I asked people to prepare a small wine and dishes, let's go around Changzhou City first." ”

"You're thoughtful."

Zhengde finally understood why he went out, and Jian Ning also asked someone to bring a singer. The two sat on the bow of the boat, the singer played the pipa, the spring breeze was slow, the sound of the pipa, the pink walls and green tiles of the south of the Yangtze River were hidden in the weeping willows on both sides, hazy and hazy with a breath of new spring, which was intoxicating.

The best Jiangnan rice wine, take a sip gently, the slight sweetness blooms on the tip of the tongue, and you have a mouthful of Changzhou's unique liver prick, only to feel that the wind is light and light, and there is an indescribable comfort.

There is no empire, no conquest, no courtiers, on this small canopy boat, the glory of the past is dissipating, and in the end only the quiet companionship and tacit understanding of the years remain.

In the spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the former Emperor Zhengde lazily leaned on the small table, humming the Hall of Eternal Life in his mouth, and from time to time he shouted a few times at the passing boats, which caused Bizhu and others to laugh.

The Son of Heaven is no longer the Son of Heaven, the subordinate is no longer a villain, and the true feelings between people are truly tangible.

That's nice!

Jian Ning looked at everything in front of her, only to feel that her heart was extremely warm. This thing she has been looking forward to for many years and thinking about for many years has finally come true. From now on, Zhu Houzhao will only belong to her, just like when they got married, they promised each other: to hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son......

Looking at Zhengde's green silk with some gray hair, she pursed her lips slightly: she and he really had to hold hands and grow old together......

The past flashed in front of me like a picture, and it was a little strange to think about it.

I really lived a lifetime with this faint gentleman, this second goods, and gave birth to so many children, even their grandchildren are the oldest, it's incredible!

"What are you thinking?"

Zhengde's hand flashed in front of her eyes, "It's almost to the ground, hurry down, let's listen to the commentary." Hehe, for your sake, I'll buy you a sugar gourd. ”

"What did you say?"

Jian Ning pursed her lips, "I want two strings." ”

Zhengde was shocked, and suddenly pinched Jian Ning's face, and said, "Old woman, are you okay?" Why are you so abnormal all of a sudden? Why don't you scold me? Wait......"

Many jokes poured into Zhengde's mind, his eyes widened, and horror welled up in his eyes, "You, you are suddenly so good to me...... Well, it can't be some terminal illness, right? ”

"I'll you!"

Jian Ning knocked his hand off, and said angrily: "Are you holding me to death, why don't you find another one?" ”

"I'll have you enough in this life, where do you want to find it again? You're alright, aren't you? Why are you sudden? ”

Jian Ning lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said in a low voice, "It's nothing...... It's just that when I think of the day I got married, you said that you would be a couple with me for the rest of your life, and grow old with me...... When I saw that you also had a lot of gray hair on your head, I thought that you had fulfilled this promise, so I ......"

She raised her head and laughed, "You have flattered me all my life, and I will please you too, otherwise what if you suddenly change your personality and kick me when you are old?" ”

"Humph!"

Zhengde hugged Jian Ning domineeringly and said, "I said that one is a man, most of his life has passed, do you still doubt me?" I said that I would not change my head with you, unless I die! ”

Jian Ning snuggled into his arms and nodded slightly, "Well, I believe you." ”

After being silent for a while, he suddenly shouted, "Zhu Houzhao." ”

"Huh?"

"Thank you...... It's the luckiest thing for me to be with you for the rest of my life......"

"Thank you too......"

Zhu Houzhao stroked her white hair, and said in a low voice: "Without you, I don't know where I should go, just like a lost person, I can't find a sense of belonging anywhere." Although the Forbidden City is big, there is no place for me to put it......"

"So should we have a drink now?"

Jian Ning laughed, and Zhengde also smiled, "Wait until we go to Xinglong Garden, let's continue to drink, don't get drunk and go home." ”

"For what?"

"To have your ......"

"Zhu Houzhao."

"Huh?"

"Can you let me go? A lot of people are watching ......."

"Don't let go! You're my mother-in-law! ”

"Be aware of the ...... of the impact"

"I'm the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid of a ball!"

"Zhu Houzhao!"

"Why are you screwing me? Didn't you just say you wanted to please me? ”

"Let me go!"

"Listen...... You commanded ......"
