Concubine Mei has been shocked by her son's alienation and indifference these days, and she has long felt remorse in her heart. When Qin Se came back, the last string in Concubine Mei's heart was loosened, and she finally lowered her head.

Early the next morning, the emperor and queen led A Luo to greet him.

"Is the queen feeling better today?" Sheng Hong's voice is gentle, but it lacks the intimacy of the past.

Between mother and son, there is a gap in the end.

Concubine Mei felt a throbbing pain in her heart, and looked at Sheng Hong in a daze for a moment before she responded in a low voice: "It's better." ”

After a pause, Concubine Mei said again: "Qin Se has served me for more than 20 years, and I can't leave her for a moment. When she came back, I was half cured. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled and took over the conversation: "Qin Se has been sick for more than a month before, and it is not appropriate for the palace maid to serve the master close during her illness, so as not to be too sick." This is also the old rule in the palace. Fortunately, Qin Se has recovered from her illness, and she will be served by her mother's side in the future. ”

Concubine Mei subconsciously glanced at Xie Mingxi.

has been in the harem for decades, and Concubine Mei is used to seeing harem battles and tactics when she asks herself.

Xie Mingxi's cold threats more than a month ago are still in my ears, making people shudder. Now it's a smile and a smile, as if nothing has happened.

Changing your face is faster than flipping through a book!

Concubine Mei had no idea of resisting or struggling in her heart, so she had to bow her head and admit defeat.

"That's what the queen said." Concubine Mei barely managed to squeeze out a few words.

Since Concubine Mei had lowered her head, Xie Mingxi no longer stared at her, and her attitude was respectful and gentle: "Everything in the harem is smooth, and the wars in Jindi have also been frequently won. The mother doesn't have to worry about it, she just needs to recuperate with peace of mind. ”

What else can she do without recuperation?

Concubine Mei wanted to sneer or sneer, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sheng Hong's angry look, and changed her words again: "Yes, the mourning family can be regarded as thinking about it." At this age, what do you care? Waiting for the son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter to be honored. ”

Sheng Hong's expression was gentle: "I will come to see my mother in the evening." ”

Ah Luo also smiled: "Grandmother, I'm going to the academy." When school was over, I came to talk to my grandmother to relieve her boredom. ”

For more than a month, the emperor and Concubine Mei have competed, and Ah Luo has never shown up. Although Concubine Mei is patriarchal and wants the royal grandson, she also loves her only granddaughter. Hearing this, he finally had a smile: "Okay." ”

There is a gap in each other's hearts, and the scene of the harmony of the mother and son and the filial piety family always seems a little deliberate.

The emperor didn't stay long, and soon left with Ah Luo.

Concubine Mei looked sad, and barely ate half a bowl of porridge and fell asleep under Qin Se's service.

……

After a stick of incense, Ah Luo and Sister Rong and Sister Fu took a carriage to the Lotus Pond Academy together. Gu Shanchang had a class today, and he also took a carriage to the academy together.

Sister Rong asked softly, "Cousin Luo, is Concubine Mei's health better?" ”

Ah Luo nodded and responded, "It's a little better." ”

"The concubine is old, weak, and sick, so she has to give birth for a while." Sister Fu'er took over the conversation: "When the concubine's illness improves, I will go to Hanxiang Palace with Cousin Rong to visit." ”

Arlo laughed and hummed.

Ah Luo is thirteen years old this year, and Sister Fu is one year older than Ah Luo, and she has grown up in size, and she is already a fair girl. Sister Rong is one year older, and she is already old this year.

The three cousins grew up together and had a very good relationship. At this time, they sat together and whispered softly, quite harmoniously.

The emperor and Concubine Mei had a dispute over the matter of the palace concubine, and they had a cold war for more than a month. Sister Rong and Sister Fu are in the palace, so they naturally know about it. It's just that it's not their turn to ask about such things. I just don't know what to do.

Ah Luo is still young, and he has not yet cultivated to the point where his mood is invisible. I've been in a bad mood lately, and I've talked a lot less than ever. After a few words of gossip, he stopped.

Sister Rong and Sister Fu glanced at each other, and stopped at the same time with a tacit understanding, and didn't ask much.

Although the cousins are close, there are some things that are inconvenient to ask.

For example, your father refused to accept the palace concubine, your mother was infertile and childless, and your grandmother made a fuss about it, how do you feel in your heart?

For example, what is your father and queen mother's heart? Is it true that you really want to pass your step-nephew in the future?

And so on, not a word can be asked.

Only Gu Shanchang, who knew everything, could get a glimpse of Ah Luo's true mood, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

In the past half a year, the courtiers have played one after another, and the harem Concubine Mei has not stopped. The emperor and queen are strong-willed, and the city is deep and can deal with it freely.

And Ah Luo, apparently, has also felt the invisible but omnipresent pressure from the worldly convention.

This is undoubtedly a huge test for a thirteen-year-old girl.

Ah Luo's mood is indeed a little chaotic, but more uneven.

The courtiers played all day long, asking their father to open the harem. Concubine Mei also made a fuss to let her father accept the palace concubine. The second aunt in the palace is full of thoughts, and she has already made up her mind to pass on. Concubine Jing also moved her mind, that is, Concubine Duan, and she also delusionally wanted to stuff Brother Yun into the Jiaofang Palace......

No one ever thought that she was the only bloodline of the father and queen mother, and everyone ignored her existence together. In other words, even if she is the only beloved daughter of the emperor, no one supports her being made the prince.

She finally deeply realized what the queen mother had said.

Her real opponents are not a few cousins or cousins. It is what the world thinks of as a secular convention.

This indescribable annoyance and unwillingness piled up day after day, burning slowly in the chest.

It's just that no matter how young and vigorous she is, she also knows the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. I had to hold back this irritation. This is also what the queen mother taught her, those who achieve great things need to be broad-minded and endure what ordinary people can't bear.

……

Arlo's self-control is far better than that of her peers.

After entering the schoolhouse, Arlo left all her worries behind and concentrated on the lectures.

When school was dismissed in the afternoon, Ah Luo left the academy, and a young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes stepped forward diligently, and handed the food box in his hand to the female official Yun Cuiwei: "Female official Yun, the slave is waiting here on the order of the son." The dim sum in this food box is the chef of Lufu who is the best, please give it a taste to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

This little guy is Brother You's long-term follower.

There is a difference between men and women, and it is inconvenient for Brother You to wait outside the academy, so he often sends the little maid to send some food and play to Ah Luo.

Ah Luo's dull mood was suddenly swept away, and there was a smile between her eyebrows and eyes: "Yun Nuguan will accept it." ”

Yun Cui responded respectfully and took the food box.

After eating half a box of dim sum along the way, Ah Luo's mood improved. After returning to the palace, the first thing I did was to go to Hanxiang Palace to visit Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei's spirit was better than in the morning, and she took Ah Luo's hand and instructed left and right: "You all stand down, the mourning family and Ah Luo have to talk alone for a while." ”
