After the morning court, Jiang Yuan gave his husband a day off and was about to go

Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty." On the way, he was stopped by Su Yan.

Jiang Yuan saw Su Yan and Song Ye standing not far away. Seeing Su Yan coming over, Jiang Yuan avoided his gaze and looked at Song Ye and said, "Why are you here?" Didn't I find someone yesterday to tell you that you don't have to come to study with you today? ”

Su Yan saw her avoiding her eyes and stood quietly aside.

Song also shook the fan, then put it away and pointed at Su Yan, "I received a notice, but someone pulled me out and said that there might be a mistake, it is impossible for you not to study, Your Majesty." You have to let me accompany you into the palace. ”

Jiang Yuan glanced at Su Yan, quickly withdrew his gaze, and said, "Today is the birthday of the queen mother, I rushed over to accompany the queen mother, so I don't have to study today, you should go back quickly." ”

"If today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, isn't it also the Emperor's birthday?" Su Yan said suddenly.

Song was also stunned for a moment, and then said, "Today is also the emperor's birthday?" Ah. I'm confused, I don't even know about these faces. The emperor is not to blame. ”

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, "It's not in the way, it's that I never mentioned it to you." I can't be born, so I don't mean anyone else can remember it. Go back, I'm going to the Queen Mother. ”

Song was not reluctant, but he heard Su Yan say again, "Why don't you wait for the Queen Mother to finish busy with Song Song and Song Song to accompany you for a birthday?" Anyway, Song Song and I have nothing to do. ”

"No need. I still have a lot to do, and I'm afraid I don't have time to spend with you. After that, Jiang Yuan took Gao Defu and left directly.

Song also relied on Jiang Yuan to go away, and said to Su Yan, "Su Su, if the emperor doesn't want to celebrate this birthday, we can't force it, let's go out of the palace." ”

"You go first. I, I'll go to Ah Jing's place. ”

"Good. Then I'll go first. ”

After Song Ye left, Su Yan stood in place and was a little stunned. In the past few days, although it was only a few days, after Su Jing's incident, Jiang Yuan changed. She was clearly avoiding herself, unwilling to say more to herself, and didn't even look into her eyes. What's wrong with her? Still want to give up?

Su Yan had to wait, waiting to see Jiang Yuan again and ask clearly. What's more, today is his birthday, and the day he turned the door to inquire about it, and there was still a gift he had carefully prepared for her in his sleeve.

He was about to go to the Imperial Garden to wait, but just when he turned around to leave, he saw Su Jing standing at the end of the corridor, looking at him. I don't know how long it has been.

--

"The Queen Mother." Jiang Yuan arrived at Yikun Palace, and saw that Chu Chengbi seemed to have just gotten up not long ago, and Jinxiu was combing her hair.

"Why is the emperor here now? Isn't it time to study at Mr.'s? ”

Jiang Yuan walked over and said to Chu Chengbi, "Queen Mother, today is your birthday, I specially came to accompany the Queen Mother." ”

Jinxiu reminded on the side, "Did the Queen Mother forget?" At this time of year, the emperor will come over early and make a bowl of longevity noodles for you! ”

Chu Chengbi suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I'm old, I forgot about it." The mourning family didn't take their birthday to heart, and the emperor didn't have to work hard for himself. ”

"Out of the way. Aunt Jinxiu, are you ready? Jiang Yuan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start moving.

Jinxiu smiled, "It's ready early, please go to the small kitchen." ”

"Then the queen mother, wait a moment." Jiang Yuan said, and hurried to the small kitchen.

It didn't take long for Jiang Yuanchao to come to Chu Chengbi with a bowl of noodles.

Jiang Yuan said a little embarrassed, "Queen Mother, I am really stupid, this face has not been good for so many years, it seems to be a little confused." And this poached egg, it seems to be a bit ...... Queen Mother, I'm sorry. ”

"Sit down, look, your face is full of flour, and the queen mother will wipe it for you."

Chu Chengbi pulled Jiang Yuan to sit down, and the chief handkerchief wiped the flour on her face for her.

Immediately, Chu Chengbi said, "Jinxiu, you bring a pair of chopsticks over again." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Jinxiu quickly brought another pair of chopsticks, and Chu Chengbi took it and put some noodles from the bowl into the empty bowl. Then he pushed it to Jiang Yuan, "Your Majesty, you can also eat some." ”

"Queen Mother, I really don't eat it, I ......"

"Today is the birthday of the mourning family, but it is also the emperor's birthday, right?"

"Queen Mother, you, you still remember the child's birthday."

"Silly child, how can a mother not remember her child's birthday? Quick, let's eat together, it won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"Hmm." Although the noodles are not delicious, Jiang Yuan is very happy to eat them.

Before the noodles were finished, I heard someone come to report, "Queen Mother, Lord Song asks to see me." ”

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he said, "Since Lord Song has come to find the queen mother, then I will leave first." ”

"Good. That's right, Jinxiu, take the Luoyin Dan you took yesterday to the emperor and take it away. ”

Jiang Yuan said, "Luoyin Dan? Don't I still have a lot of them to use? Why did the queen mother get it so early this time? ”

Chu Chengbi said, "After being followed a few times before, the mourning family ordered Jinxiu to pick it up from time to time, in case there were any accidents. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

Jiang Yuan took the Luoyin Dan and left from Yikun Palace, and saw Song Ang in the courtyard.

"I've seen the emperor."

"Excuse me." After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he went directly out of Yikun Palace.

"Queen Mother, this side ......"

"It's down. Although it is the emperor's intention, it is really unpalatable. ”

"Yes."

"Pass Lord Song in." Seeing that the palace maid finished packing up her things, Chu Chengbi commanded.

A short time later, Song Ang walked in.

"The minister has seen the Queen Mother."

"Lord Song, please get up. Bestow the seat. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

"Why did Lord Song have time to come here today?"

Song Ang sat down and said, "The minister is here today, and I want to ask the Queen Mother about something." ”

"Oh? What is it? Lord Song still needs to come to consult the mourning family. ”

"I don't know if the Queen Mother has heard of Luoyin Dan?" Song Ang looked at Chu Chengbi and asked with a torch in his eyes.

Chu Chengbi was taken aback, and immediately ordered Jinxiu to retreat with people.

Chu Chengbi said, "It turns out that the person who followed Jinxiu was you?" ”

"The minister is just concerned about the situation of the queen mother, if there is anything that needs help, the minister can lend a hand."

After hearing this, Chu Chengbi smiled secretly.

She got up, but there was some resentment on her face, "Does Lord Song still care about the situation of the mourning family?" I thought that Lord Song already hated the mourning family because of the events of that year. ”

"What happened back then, the minister doesn't remember anymore, the Queen Mother should talk about Luoyin Dan." Song Ang's face was indifferent.

Chu Chengbi was not in a hurry, so he said, "Since Lord Song really wants to know, the mourning family can only tell Lord Song some dusty past." When the mourning family was pregnant with the emperor, the mourning family once walked through the water in the palace, does Lord Song remember? ”

Song Ang still has some impressions that he went to the water that year, and because of that incident, a favored concubine died.

"The minister still has some impressions."

Chu Chengbi continued, "The mourning family was not uninjured that day, and the mourning family smoked their throats that day. ”

Song Ang frowned.

Chu Chengbi said, "The mourning family finally got the emperor's favor, you know how many things the mourning family has done." But the mourning family's throat is broken, and the emperor won't even speak to the mourning family. Therefore, the mourning family searched for famous doctors and found this Luoyin Dan. ”

"Is that really it?" Song Ang was still a little skeptical.

Chu Chengbi got up and walked behind Song Ang, put a hand on Song Ang's shoulder, and with a sound, "Yun Zhi ......" shocked Song Ang's whole body.

Yunzhi is Song Ang's number, and very few people will call him that. After so many years, he thought that Chu Chengbi didn't remember it at all.

Chu Chengbi said, "What days did the mourning family live before the death of the first emperor, Lord Song should know, just like the concubines in the cold palace." Now although the mourning family is the queen mother, it is just an ornament, and she can't even celebrate her birthday. Yunzhi, only you remember the birthday of the mourning family, and give gifts to the mourning family every year. Specimens made of irises, you always remember that the mourning family's favorite is irises. ，”

Song Ang didn't say anything.

Chu Chengbi said with a gloomy face, "This palace is a huge cage. When I didn't come in, I longed for the glamour inside, but once I entered, I found that my brain escaped. Yunzhi, sometimes I really miss the days when we were together. So chic and happy. ”

Song Ang sat there and said, "It's a pity that everything can't go back, it's all the Queen Mother's own choice." ”

"You're right, there's no turning back. But I've never forgotten what happened between us, Yunzhi, haven't you forgotten? ”

Song Ang got up and didn't look at Chu Chengbi, "The ministers have forgotten." The minister retired. ”

After that, Song Ang left Yikun Palace without looking back.

After Song Ang left, Jinxiu pushed the door and came in. Chu Chengbi helped Zhen Zhen and said quietly,

"Now you know who gives the birthday gift to the mourner every year, right?"

Jinxiu nodded, not only that, but she also clearly knew that Chu Chengbi had never broken her throat, she was just lying.
