After Chang'an and Nanyan left, the Queen Mother retreated, sighed, and said to the queen in a deep voice, "These days, you have also suffered a lot of grievances. ”

The queen couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she heard this, "Where is my aunt?" ”

"You're the way you are, it's just a matter of deceiving others." The Queen Mother sighed and said, "To the mourning family, you can tell your heart." The mourning family knows that it is the emperor who has wronged you. ”

The queen pursed her lips tightly, and a trace of pain flashed on her beautiful face.

"Concubine Xian's child, although she is in a hurry, she doesn't have any bad intentions. The mourning family wants to teach her a lesson today, let her know that no matter how much the emperor spoils her, she is not the only one in the harem. As for that Zhao beauty, her background is a little low, but she has a child, and the emperor also takes care of some feelings......"

The queen smiled reluctantly, and her heart was also a little sad, "Concubine Xian...... The emperor is very fond of her......"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother sneered, raised her hand to the queen, and said, "Child, you sit next to the mourning family." The queen walked straight over, she put a pair of hands covered with fine lines on the queen's hands, and said softly, "The mourning family has lived for most of their lives, and they are used to seeing the honor of life and death in this harem." The holy will is unpredictable, and it is the same for anyone who sits in this position, and the grace is only for a while, but it cannot be saved for a lifetime. You are the smartest child of our Li family, and the mourning family believes that you will understand this truth. ”

She just bowed her head and said nothing, and silently felt that the queen mother's hands were also much older, she looked up at her aunt, such a beautiful woman, after all, she was no match for the changes of the years, she was also going to grow old, and she was aging so fast. She bowed her head silently, the words of the Queen Mother, she heard it in her ears, and it was also a stab in her heart, everyone said that feng shui rotated, but it had been six years, and Chu Luo's heart had never turned to her.

The Queen Mother looked at the queen, and her eyes were full of pity, "Luo'er is the son of the mourning family, and the mourning family naturally knows him best, he is not as good as Xun'er, he does not have such great ambitions, and he is not willing to sit on the throne." Now that the disputes in the previous dynasty are so fierce, and there are so many political affairs to deal with, the mourning family is just afraid that he is used to being free, and he is thinking about the private feelings of his children, and he will miss this great country and country that the first emperor fought for......"

When the queen mother talked about the first emperor and Chu Xun, she couldn't cry, and the queen quickly took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, but the queen mother didn't realize it, thinking of her son, the corners of her mouth also had a slight arc, "When Xun'er was still there, he said that in order to mourn the family, he must fight for this piece of land in the future." Later, when he became the emperor, the first thing he did was to come to the mourning family, kneel here like that, and say to the mourning family with tears in his eyes, 'Queen Mother, the sons have finally won the world for you.' How joyful was the mourner's heart when he said this...... Alas...... Everyone knows that he is a wolf and has the ambition of killing his brother to seize the throne, but here in the mourning family, he is just a filial son...... It's no different from an ordinary child......" Speaking of this, she held back her tears, patted the back of the queen's hand gently, and said softly, "You are still blessed, people said before that your child is blessed, and he will be able to be the mother of the world in the future." At first, when you married Luo'er, the mourning family only thought that the person was wrong, but now it seems that this is all destiny......"

When the queen heard this, she was also embarrassed. Where did she think about whether she could be a queen back then, marrying Chu Luo, but it was all her wishful thinking.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, the Queen Mother stopped talking about the past, gently took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said, "The mourning family has arranged for next month's general election, and I need you to help lay the line." ”

The queen came back to her senses and smiled indifferently, "My aunt has something to order." ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head gently, "The mourning family thinks that the daughter of the Zhong family of the household should also reach the age of leaving the cabinet, the mourning family met once a few years ago, and the child is extremely clever and well-behaved......"

The queen's heart moved, and she already knew that the queen mother was referring to Zhong Yuxiu, the eldest daughter of Zhong Ping, the head of the household department, and she was extremely familiar with her before Shushen left the cabinet, and it was expected that the queen mother wanted her to enter the palace this time, so she said slowly, "The daughter of the Zhong family is a good face, and she is naturally a good candidate." ”

The Queen Mother raised her head and closed her eyes, and muttered, "The girl of the Zhong family is a little similar to Concubine Xian, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, she will definitely please the emperor." ”

The queen also smiled, but there was a bit of sadness in the smile, "What my aunt said is very true. ”

The Queen Mother's brows were relaxed, her attitude was relaxed, and she looked at the queen and said, "The mourning family arranged for her to enter the palace, but also to ask her to accompany you, be a companion with you, and help with a countermeasure in everything, and she can also share the favor of the virtuous concubine, which is a good thing for you and in this harem." ”

The queen smiled on her face, but there was a different kind of sadness in her heart. When she married Chu Luo, she thought that she could be a couple with him for the rest of her life, and then she had Zhao Nanyan, she didn't take it to heart, and then Shen Chang'an, and now she has to add a Zhong Yuxiu, and if she wants to win her husband's favor, she actually has to borrow the hands of others. The queen sneered in her heart, why did she Li Shushen come to such a point.

"The mourning family is old, and some things are beyond their strength, and the matter of the general election, you and the emperor will decide." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to support her forehead, a little tired, "Queen, you can go back too." ”

"Yes, auntie." The queen bowed her head gently, turned around and called Miaochun, and left directly.

Walking to the door of Yongfu Palace, she looked back at this Qionglou Yuyu, the sun is three poles, sprinkling a hazy and dim light and shadow on the high wall, the cloud white and clean hall is reflected in Li Shushen's tears, flashing clear crystal pearls, ethereal and illusory, the beautiful scenery is like a flower across the clouds, making people unable to distinguish where is the real scene and where is the reflection. The two golden phoenixes on the cornice, with golden scales and golden armor, are vivid, as if they want to fly into the air. There are 16 flowers and trees, the plants are tall and handsome, the wind moves and the flowers fall, thousands of flowers, paving several layers, the heavy eaves roof of glazed tiles, the vermilion lacquer door, which can be seen. Yongfu Palace remains the same as it was, just like its owner, and has not changed. Shushen came here to meet her aunt who had just become a concubine when she was young, and now she has come back to another identity. The palace has always maintained its magnificence and dignity for decades, and it must be a woman who has won the emperor's favor to obtain such an honor, but she Li Shushen can hardly be counted on.

"Niangniang......" Miaochun saw that the queen was slightly distracted, and the phoenix at the door had stopped for a while, so she opened her mouth and called softly.

The queen retracted her gaze, hid the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled gently, and said, "Let's go." ”
