"The imperial grandmother should not cry, Gillian is obedient, and she will not be naughty in the future, and she will not be annoyed by the Pope's uncle." Seeing Empress Dowager Xiao's tears in her eyes, Guo Yuan raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, her voice was soft and glutinous, and she was obedient like a cat.

The Queen Mother could not bear these words, and she became more and more sad, hugged her only granddaughter, and cried silently.

The eldest princess Tipa wiped away her tears, her voice still trembling: "Your Majesty is using our mother and daughter as a raft, then the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion has done such an evil thing, and it is not just a slight punishment, and he was even promoted afterwards, and the son ...... the minister."

She suddenly began to cry again, and her breath was suffocating: "...... Erchen is really not convinced, why is this? Why? My Gillian has suffered such grievances, and she has to endure hardships all her life, but Your Majesty is still so light-hearted, slow to mention and let go. I really don't hide it from my mother, my sons haven't had a good night's sleep these days, and I panic when I think about it. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao was more resentful than her in her heart, but she was still a little clear, so she hurriedly collected her tears and coughed lightly: "My son, don't you want to annoy Your Majesty, didn't he get angry for you?" Isn't that the marriage of the eldest girl of the Chen family? ”

"Take a worthless finger marriage, change people and rise step by step, Your Majesty is here to humiliate our mother and daughter?" The eldest princess was so angry that she didn't choose what to say.

Empress Dowager Xiao's heart jumped, and she hurriedly shouted: "You whisper to me." ”

Her eyes were still red, and her face was still sad, but her voice was solemn: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five Supreme, how can you talk like this?" Don't say that again! ”

In an extraordinarily stern tone, the eldest princess was stunned, looked up, and saw that Empress Dowager Xiao was also looking over, although her expression was light, her eyes were on her, and she said a thousand words and paid for it.

The eldest princess's face turned gray, she lowered her head, and her voice was inaudible: "What the queen mother taught is that the sons are too sad and can't speak in tune, and they hope that the queen mother will forgive her sins." ”

After speaking, he bowed his head.

Looking at her soft appearance, Empress Dowager Xiao is like being cut with a knife, the pain is unbearable, the eyes are suddenly in a trance, the scene suddenly changes again, the spring is late, the willow wind is long, there are twenty-eight good women by her side, intimate and delicate, calling her "Queen Mother".

She remembered in a trance that it was her young daughter, the eldest princess much younger, joyful, bright, enthusiastic, and bold, whistling in the imperial city, wearing the reddest clothes, riding the fiercest horses, speaking loudly, laughing and laughing, and wherever she went, it was bright.

Until that day, the handsome and gentle man, in the dim lamplight, quietly looked back and stared at her.

Just one glance, and there is no return.

The flamboyant girl no longer wears a red shirt or rides a fierce horse, learns to speak softly, learns to be elegant and demure, and spends a lot of thought and countless calculations, just to seek a happy marriage.

However, is this marriage really happy?

Empress Dowager Xiao touched her chest with her hand and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

That's it, that's it, it's all in the past.

Those dusty pasts, let it be buried in the grave of time forever, never to be mentioned again.

"Imperial Grandmother, are you annoyed with your mother?" The timid and delicate voice woke up the eccentric Empress Dowager Xiao.

She looked back at her delicate grandson in her arms, her eyes were full of love: "Grandmother is not angry, grandmother is the Gillian who feels sorry for me." She touched Guo Yuan's hair and stroked her clothes: "Gillian is not well, she is afraid of the cold, it is good to wear more, but don't be cold." ”

The word "cold" made Guo Yuan's eyes red again, and in her bright eyes, a mist quickly rose, a thin and shallow layer, as if it was shattered when touched.

"In the future, Gillian will never have her own children again." She bent her lower lip as if she wanted to laugh, and her eyelashes blinked slightly, but two lines of tears slid down.

Tears fell lightly on her cheeks, but she was still laughing, which became more and more sad and heartbreaking: "Grandmother, Gillian doesn't want to grow up, Gillian wants to be a child forever, so she will stay with her grandmother and mother for a lifetime." ”

After speaking, tears poured into the arms of the Empress Dowager Xiao, wetting her chest and clothes.

Empress Dowager Xiao was as straight as a thousand arrows piercing her heart, hugging Guo Yuan tightly, her throat was blocked, the tip of her nose was sore, and tears were flowing down like broken beads.

"Gillian don't cry, don't upset your grandmother." The eldest princess suppressed her sadness, stepped forward to persuade, gently hugged her beloved daughter, and helped her sit back at the desk.

In the vast hall, the broken intestines weep lowly, undulating endlessly, the west wind blows, and the smoke and purple veil ripple lightly, as if they can't bear the mourning of this full hall, and the room is bleak.

After a long time, the three ancestors and grandchildren each collected their tears, the Empress Dowager Xiao straightened her clothes, called into the palace, everyone changed their clothes, and asked people to hold the new tea made in the palace, the tea was sweet and warm, and finally swept away the depression in the palace.

"The queen mother, the sons are really panicked." The eldest princess took a sip of tea and frowned. Only then did he pounce on the face of the incense powder, and he couldn't wrap up the bottom layer of resentment: "Erchen originally thought that His Majesty was no longer annoyed, but now it seems that Your Majesty's anger has not disappeared, it is obvious that we have suffered a big loss, and Your Majesty is as if it is fine." Erchen is afraid now, if this matter is like this, he will have another part with His Majesty. ”

She lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said sadly: "Erchen is blessed, there are only a few relatives, and Erchen himself is nothing, but he is worried about Gillian." Erchen always has to walk in front of Gillian, and when the time comes, Gillian will be left alone, alone, and every time Erchen thinks about it, he is so worried that he can't sleep. ”

"Silly boy, don't be afraid of taboos when you say this." Empress Dowager Xiao poured tea for her, her eyes softened, and comforted her: "But you relax, Your Majesty is not annoyed, and you have never been separated from my son." Recently, His Majesty has often been talking about the people first and the state affairs first, and this arrangement is also for the sake of the stability of the court. ”

She lowered her voice and pushed the teacup to the eldest princess's hand: "Chen Xun is not very old, and now he has reached the marquis, and he is ranked in the fourth grade, this person walks too fast, sometimes it is not a good thing, I say, right?" ”

The eldest princess half-bowed her head, her eyes were full of resentment, and she almost wanted to penetrate the table, but the words she spit out were peaceful: "Since this is the case, the retainers will understand." The sons also know that state affairs are important, as long as His Majesty does not have a relationship with the sons, the sons are at ease. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed, and the eyes that stared at her were full of pity: "Your Majesty is benevolent, don't say anything about it, you just think about Concubine Wu back then, you can know Your Majesty's affection." ”

"The Queen Mother is right." The eldest princess followed her words, raised her head, and there was a look on her face that had accumulated fat powder, just like a puppet: "Concubine Wu only raised Your Majesty for a few years, and Your Majesty still remembers the kindness of her old man, let alone us?" ”

She seemed to be finally happy, smiled with a smile, and tapped her forehead with a gesture: "It's still the queen mother who can see through it, and when she breaks the truth and crumples it, the son immediately understands." Erchen was in a hurry for a while, and he got into the tip of the horns, and said something that should not be said, and he should be beaten. ”
