Emperor Li Yuan died of illness, Li Shimin ordered the prince to supervise the country, and he kept filial piety for Emperor Taishang for a month.

At that time, after the removal of filial piety in June, the courtiers pleaded with Li Shimin to change the dynasty and listen to the government, and Li Shimin accepted the courtiers' pleas and returned to political affairs.

Since the serious illness of Empress Changsun last year, her body and bones have been so bad that she can't stand the slightest fatigue and cold.

Li Shimin was afraid that she would be tired, so the prince didn't let her interfere in the marriage, and did it himself, only letting her help on the side.

Because the people around her were well taken care of, she didn't get sick much in the next six months, but the emperor died of illness, and after a great filial piety, she immediately became ill, and the disease did not gradually get better until the end of July.

One day after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Empress Changsun suddenly said to Qinglan and Chou beside her: "Qinglan, Chou, you two will accompany you to Changle Gate." ”

"Mother, you?" Qing Lan was taken aback when she heard this.

"I haven't seen my sister-in-law and brother-in-law for many years, and this palace suddenly wants to meet them." Empress Eldest Sun smiled faintly.

"Then, do you want to tell Your Majesty first?" Qinglan asked.

"No need, after all these years, this palace is no longer the me I used to be, and Your Majesty no longer regards Changle Gate as a forbidden place."

"My body is getting worse and worse, so I want to see them while I can still walk." The eldest grandson's eyes flashed with remembrance.

"Niangniang......" Qinglan and Ah Chou trembled when they heard it.

After breakfast the next day, Empress Changsun took Qinglan and Ah Chou to Changle Gate, and this time, she didn't have any hesitation or apprehension in her heart.

When she came to Changle Gate, she was taken to the place where the Zheng family lived with a calm face.

In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed, ten years are enough to dilute many things, and after seeing the eldest daughter's choice, the Zheng family was once full of grievances and dispersed.

She is not a child of an ordinary family, Li Shimin, Princess Qi, and the eldest grandson can understand the truth that she understands, but she was just paranoid and refused to accept it before.

After figuring it out, her mentality really became peaceful, and in addition to reciting Buddhist scriptures over the years, she spent most of her time raising her second daughter Shunwan.

Hearing that the palace maid said that the eldest grandson queen was coming, she calmly greeted Miao Miao and Shunwan together.

"I've seen Niangniang, Niangniang Shengan." Zheng and her two daughters saluted her respectfully.

"Sister-in-law is exempt." The eldest grandson's gaze fell on the three people in front of her, and she waved her hand, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

The three of Zheng's mother and daughter are all dressed very simply, and they don't apply fat powder on their faces, but they all look good.

Zheng is now in his forties, his skin is smooth and fair, his complexion is very good, he does not look old at all, and he has an indescribable calmness and calmness on his body.

Looking at her like this, it is obvious that she is really no longer entangled in the past, Miao Miao is dressed in an ordinary cyan cloth robe, dressed as a cultivator, her face is peaceful, there is no joy or sorrow.

Shunwan was four years old when she first came in, and now ten years have passed, and she has grown into a big girl who is as smart as a lily in her first bloom, and she looks very likable.

"You're not in good spirits." Zheng stood up straight, looked at her quietly for a long time, and spoke.

"Yes, my body has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, and I don't know how much I still have, I really miss my sister-in-law and younger siblings, so I came to see my sister-in-law before leaving."

"I wonder if my sister-in-law minds letting me into the house, let's sit down and have a good chat?" The eldest grandson smiled slightly.

"Inside, please." Zheng was silent for a moment, then made a gesture of invitation to her.

"Shunwan, make a pot of tea for the mother to warm up." After entering the house, Zheng gave a command to his little daughter.

"Auntie, I'll go, I know the emperor's preferences." Before Shun Wan could speak, Miao Miao had already taken over the conversation.

"It's fine." Zheng nodded.

"Shunwan is also fourteen, right?" Empress Eldest Sun entered the house, and after sitting down, her eyes fell on Shunwan, the second daughter of the Zheng family.

"Hmm."

"This child is so good, and her rules and upbringing are also first-class outstanding, I don't know what kind of family my sister-in-law wants her to marry?" The eldest grandson asked.

"I just hope that she can live a lifetime of peace and stability." Zheng was silent for a moment and replied.

The eldest grandson smiled slightly, didn't say anything more, and at this time, Miao Miao had already made tea and walked over.

She placed the teapot on the coffee table, then the cup, first poured a cup for her eldest grandson, then for her mother, and then for herself and her sister.

The eldest grandson took a sip and blurted out: "Good tea, Miao Miao's tea art is becoming more and more outstanding." ”

"You don't seem to have the slightest defense against us, and you drink this tea as soon as you bring it, and you're not afraid that we will poison the tea?" Seeing this, Zheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but blurt out.

"Sister-in-law, will?" The eldest grandson raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"No, I can't hate you, I think when you first married into the Li family, we ......" Zheng shook her head, recalling the past, she couldn't help but flash an indescribable trace in her eyes.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, all these years in the heart of the eldest grandson, you have always been the eldest sister-in-law who treats me like a sister, I know that I can't stand you, and I don't even have the qualifications to call you sister-in-law, I ......"

The eldest grandson put down the teacup, his eyes unconsciously became moist, and only after half a ring did he say with three points of self-deprecation and seven points of remembrance.

"The past is all over the past, you don't have to mention it again, you don't have to worry about it, as the second brother said, there is no right or wrong in royal affairs, there is only suitability and success or failure, second brother, he is indeed more suitable than your eldest brother to sit on this throne."

Zheng glanced at her silently, and was silent for a long time before answering such a sentence.

The eldest grandson was stunned when she heard this, and looked at her quietly for a long time, and the eyes that had just calmed down turned red again, and she hurriedly looked away and lowered her eyelids.

After the turbulent Qingxu calmed down, she turned her head and said to Zheng with a smile: "If you can say such a sentence to sister-in-law, Erlang, he should be very happy." ”

"What about you?" Zheng asked.

"I'm very grateful to my sister-in-law." The eldest grandson's nose was sour, and the tears in his eyes almost couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.

Seeing this, Zheng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth.

The eldest grandson was silent for a while, and when his emotions calmed down, he asked again: "By the way, is the fourth brother and daughter-in-law okay?" ”

"She can see better than me, and she hasn't struggled since the day she came in." Zheng said.

The eldest grandson didn't speak again, she picked up the teacup and drank it one by one.

It wasn't until a cup of tea was drunk that she raised her eyes and looked at Zheng and said: "Sister-in-law and fourth brother and daughter-in-law are rare good women in this world, no matter who can become a concubine with you, it is a great blessing." ”

"I can meet my sister-in-law again and drink a cup of tea brewed by Miaomiao, I am very satisfied, sister-in-law, I'm leaving." With that, he got up and stood up.

"Aren't you going to see the fourth brother and daughter-in-law?" Seeing that she was about to step out of the threshold, Zheng blurted out a question.

"No, it's enough for me to know that you're all right." The eldest grandson paused, and then walked out.

After she came out of the Zheng family's palace, she subconsciously stopped and glanced at the place where the Yang family lived, her eyes were full of emotions, and finally turned around and left without saying a word.

"A-Niang, Aunt Huang?" After the eldest grandson left, Shunwan spoke.

"Your imperial aunt is a really good person, her compassion and kindness are engraved in her bones, and her name as a virtuous queen is also expected, but it's a pity that her heart is too soft, and people who are too full of feelings live too hard in the royal family...... Zheng said lightly.
