The next day, Duan Niang specially ordered the catering bureau to prepare lunch early, and Tong He also ordered someone to prepare a carriage early, and left the palace just after noon.

At this time, it is the time when the spring is cold, the carriage is arranged very thoughtfully, the tea stove is readily available, Su Ying lifted the sedan curtain to look out, only to see the stars of plum blossoms and begonias blooming in the branches, although the weather is cold, but the outside of the palace is still as lively as ever, in front of the winery as usual stood a group of dancing orchids, all kinds of shops and stalls are bustling in front of the stalls, one after another shouting, laughing and the uninhibited laughter of the literati and ink writers are mixed together, and the air carries the unique sweet fragrance of Suzaku Street. Su Ying has not been out of the palace for a long time, so she is naturally overjoyed this time.

Well, fortunately, she was very witty and coquettish with Pei Zhao, otherwise he would never have brought himself out today!

"There is still a distance from Jueyun Temple, if you are tired, take a nap." , Pei Zhao stretched out his hand to hug her, with a smile in his eyes.

"I won't be a lazy cat like Ah Ming!" Seeing that Pei Ming was sleeping soundly on Pei Zhao's lap, Su Ming gave up the idea of rubbing his face, and asked with a smile: "When you arrive at Jueyun Temple later, what kind of wish will you make?" ”

Pei Zhao blurted out: "The first is the safety of the mother and child, and the second is ......" He looked at Su Ying with a smile and said softly: "I will ask the tree god to bless you, and on the day you give birth, don't let you hurt too much." ”

Obediently, in the past, all the people close to her said that she always looked like a little doll that didn't grow up, but today she can be regarded as seeing someone who is even more naïve than herself! Su Ying bent the corners of her mouth and pinched Pei Zhao's nose with her hand: "You are so stupid, the tree god will satisfy your first wish at most, as for the second ...... I heard that all little dolls in life are the same pain, how can she only bless me alone, don't worry, I'm not as squeamish as before now, I think I should still be able to endure it then. ”

Since she was pregnant, Pei Zhao has seen all kinds of words and deeds of Su Jin, and she knows her joy and fear that she loves this unborn child so much, but she is still a child herself, and she is naturally ignorant about these things.

If it is in an ordinary family, at such a time, there will naturally be a mother-in-law and mother-in-law to take care of him, but he has been alone since he was a child, and he can't confess the truth to her mother-in-law in time, in the end, the hardest person is her.

Guilt and pity came to his heart, Pei Zhao hugged Su Ying tighter, and said in a low voice: "Ah Jin, you don't have to endure it at any time, as long as you like it, I will let you be squeamish by my side for a lifetime." ”

When he said this, the expression on his face was very soft, as if he had been soaked in honey, Su Jin's face was slightly red, and he was very cooperative at the moment, and retracted into his arms "squeamishly": "I'm really sleepy, I'll sleep for a while, you must wake me up later." ”

He smiled and nodded, only to feel a piece of warm nephrite in his arms, and she fell asleep in a while, she had always slept quietly, but Pei Ming, who was lying on his lap, was very restless and "smack" a few times, Pei Zhao went to help him pat his back, looking at the big and small two people in front of him, the corners of his lips slowly overflowed with a smile.

The locust tree in front of Jueyun Temple is not only famous in Tianjing City, but also has some reputation in several nearby counties, and since Pei Zhao ascended the throne, the treasury is full of people's livelihood and prosperity, and naturally it has also added a lot of people, so the mountain road leading to Jueyun Temple has long been bustling and crowded with people, Yuan Lu stopped the carriage steadily, and asked Tong He: "Master, why don't you ask Your Majesty and Niangniang to go to the inn at the foot of the mountain to rest for a while, and the slave will go to the steward here, and empty the people and let's go in?" ”

Tong He said: "No, I already asked Your Majesty last night, and Your Majesty ordered not to disturb the people, so we came out in civilian clothes." It's better to be like this, after walking for a long time, I guess the mother is also tired, you go to the inn to get some tea, and I will ask Your Majesty what he means. ”

Yuan Lu hurriedly agreed, and ran to the inn with a few small yellow doors, Tong He walked to Pei Zhao's carriage, said carefully, and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave just looked, this mountain road is narrow and rugged, I am afraid that it is very difficult to walk, Niang Niang can not walk such a road now, please wait a little longer, the old slave will hire a sedan chair." ”

Duan Niang hurriedly said: "Father-in-law and slow, these people are all here to worship, in order to show sincerity, all of them are walking up the mountain, it must be very difficult to find a sedan chair, and the mother is now heavy, the sedan chair is shaking, and she is also very scared." She hesitated for a moment, looked at Pei Zhao, saw that he thought for a while, and then ordered: "I take the thirteen princes up the mountain, and you accompany the queen to rest in the inn." ”

Duan Niang was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is still wise." ”

While speaking, Su Ying and Pei Ming had already woken up, and although they were a little disappointed when they heard the words, they readily agreed. Ah Ming also coaxed her quite nicely: "The imperial sister-in-law is waiting obediently in the inn, Ah Ming will ask you for the most spiritual peace charm to come back!" ”

She agreed with a smile, and Pei Zhao reached out to pick up Pei Ming, who was about to pounce on him, and said with a smile: "Wait for me to come back." ”

For a while, Tong He, Yuan Lu and others followed Pei Zhao up the mountain, Duan Niang helped her sit down on the Hu bed, and said with a smile: "Yuan Lu is the apprentice taught by Tong Gonggong, and he is doing things properly." ”

The people who come to worship Jueyun Temple, most of them are the people of Tianjing City and several surrounding counties, not very far away, after worshipping the gods, at most they will go on a sharp point, the guest room is empty, it is noon at this time, the inn is quiet, Yuan Lu gave enough money, the entire second floor of the inn was wrapped, and he personally went upstairs to arrange it, and the room was very neat and exquisite. Several young guards guarding the door, even if they were wearing ordinary people's clothes, they still looked majestic, and the shopkeeper of the inn knew that it was extraordinary, and he personally carried a food box up, and said with a smile on his face: "Madam, please try it, this is the most famous plum blossom soup cake and snowball in the shop, you can't find such food in the next place, it's not that the villain brags, even His Majesty and his old man today, I'm afraid I haven't tasted this kind of taste!" ”

Su Ying couldn't help laughing, picked up a crystal clear snowball, and said, "Maybe Your Majesty doesn't like to eat sweets." After tasting the taste, he said, "But I like this taste very much, thank you very much." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Madame is polite." After a few more words of flattery, he retreated, and Su Ying said: "Duan Niang, Duan Niang, you remember to let him bring some snacks later, so that the old man can taste it!" ”

Duan Niang agreed with a smile, and when she saw that Su Ying looked slightly tired, she said, "Niangniang is tired, the slave will help you to lie on the bed." ”

Su Ying nodded, just sat firmly on the bed, and heard some faint noise outside, it seemed that someone was going to enter the room, and was stopped by the Royal Forest Army, she was only the same person who wanted to stay in the hotel at first, and she didn't care about it, but soon, she heard a familiar voice:

"The old man came here to tell your wife about something, you open the door, and when your wife sees the old man's face, if she doesn't want to talk to the old man, you don't need to speak, the old man will leave."

The voice was old and calm, with the gentleness peculiar to the literati, clearly yes, distinctly ...... Su Ying was shocked, subconsciously clenched the corners of the quilt, and said to Duan Niang in a trembling voice: "Open the door." ”

The door slowly opened with a "squeak", and three men, one old, two young, and three men stood by the door, the moment they saw Su Ming's face, the youngest man was obviously unable to hold his breath and wanted to rush in, but was pulled by the man next to him, the old man looked at Su Ying and didn't speak, just straightened the corners of his robe, slowly knelt down, and made a courtier's salute.

In the past five long years, she could only look at the face from a distance in the tedious palace banquet, and it was so close to her at this time, but she never imagined that she would see her father, eldest brother and fifth brother in such an unspeakable situation.

Duan Niang lives in Daming Palace, she has never seen a courtier, but she has seen a few times when she served Su Ying to the banquet in the past, and the eyebrows and eyes of the three people in front of her are somewhat similar to Su Ming, she has always been thoughtful, and she guessed the identity of the person in front of her immediately, and she was shocked, so she whispered to Su Jin: "Don't panic, Niangniang, the slave maid will immediately let people go up the mountain to ask Your Majesty to come back!" ”

Su Ying was in a state of confusion at this time, and subconsciously grabbed Duan Niang's sleeve: "Don't let him know!" Seeing that his father and brothers were still kneeling motionless, his eyes counted, and he said in a low voice: "I want to say a few words to them, Duanniang, you promise me, don't tell Pei Zhao okay?!" ”

Duan Niang was very embarrassed, and saw that Su Ying was pulling her sleeve tightly, and her face was full of pleading, so she had to nod, and walked to the door to explain a few words, and waited in the room next to her with the Imperial Forest Army.

The room was silent for a while, and the air seemed to be mixed with gel, Su Ying only felt that her mind was blank, and she wanted to open her mouth to call "Daddy", but it was like a fish in her throat, and she couldn't make any sound, and after a while, she said with difficulty: "Daddy...... You...... Get up. ”

Su Shi knelt on the spot expressionlessly, and said lightly when he heard the words: "As a courtier, the old minister naturally wants to salute when he sees the queen's mother." ”

Su Ying had never heard her father talk to her in such a tone, as if she was a stranger, she would rather her father scold her fiercely, it was better than being so indifferent now, for some reason, she suddenly remembered the day she entered the palace five years ago, her father and mother were also like now, kneeling in front of her with her brother and sister-in-law, but she didn't understand it at that time, this kneeling has since drawn an insurmountable gap between their father and daughter.
