"Mother, look at him...... He ......"

Huangfu Jin looked at the dark figure that didn't look back, and was angry.

The Night Queen waved her hand and stopped Huangfu Jin's next words. After a while, she finally calmed down the emotions in her heart, a wry smile appeared on her lips, and her phoenix eyes were full of pain, looking at Huangfu Chen and saying softly: "Jin'er, it is enough for the queen mother to have you, the queen mother knows that you are a filial child, so in the future, the queen mother no longer needs to pretend to be a scoundrel and lazy to make the queen mother happy, just be the real you." ”

When Huangfu Jin heard this, his heart froze, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said in surprise: "The queen mother ......"

The Night Queen waved her hand and retreated from all the palace people in the palace, and then said slowly: "Zhi'er Mo Ruomu, you grew up in this palace, what do you think in your heart, the queen mother knows very well." Jin'er, you have the world in your heart, you have the ambition of Lingyun, you can know how to make good use of people, and you also have the talent to govern the world, and the queen mother will not stop you. It's just that you must promise the queen mother, no matter what happens in the future, don't meet with King Chen, fratricidal, this is the only request of the queen mother, can you agree to the queen mother? ”

"Mother, he is so disrespectful to you, why do you still defend him everywhere? You've done so much, and not only is he not grateful to you, but he's ......"

"Jin'er, King Chen has been bitter enough over the years, this is what the queen mother owes him, can you promise the queen mother?" The Night Queen pleaded again.

Huangfu Jin looked at the night queen who was full of pain, and couldn't bear it, so he finally nodded and said: "If he has no essential conflict with the child in the future, as long as it is not a last resort, the child promised the queen mother that he would never be embarrassed with him!" ”

"Good! If you are willing to say this, the queen mother will be relieved. The Night Queen exhaled a breath in her heart, lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, looked at Huangfu Jin fixedly, and asked, "Jin'er, do you believe that it was the queen mother who killed Concubine Yu who died of blood twenty-two years ago?" ”

"Naturally, I don't believe it!" When Huangfu Jin heard this, although he was shocked, he did not hesitate to answer.

"Why? Even your father believed it back then. ”

"Erchen believes that the queen mother is by no means the ruthless person, if what happened back then was really the queen mother's plan, how can he endure the disrespect of King Chen, and still defend him everywhere? Although the sons don't know why, the sons know that the queen mother's heart for King Chen is the same as that of the sons. ”

"Jin'er, you can think like this, the queen mother is already very pleased."

"Queen Mother, what was the truth of the matter back then? Since you didn't do it, why didn't you explain it to your father? Let him misunderstand you for so many years, and snub you for so many years, what are you doing this for? ”

"For what......" The Night Queen unconsciously repeated Huangfu Jin's words, only feeling even more sad in her heart, she raised her head slightly and stared at the bare maple branch outside the hall, her eyes were as deep as water.

What happened back then, she was wrong in the end, and the difference in her thoughts caused the current dilemma is all her own fault. However, the truth of the year was never told unless it was absolutely necessary......

After a long time, the Night Queen retracted her thoughts and said softly to Huangfu Jin: "The queen mother is tired, Jin'er, you go back first." ”

Huangfu Jin lowered his eyes slightly, bowed according to his words and deeds, walked out of the front of the palace, and couldn't help but look back again, only to see that the night queen was already sitting on the soft chair, supporting her forehead with one hand, her eyes closed, as if she was really asleep.

It's just that the frowning brows under the phoenix crown, the thin back, and the thin lines faintly visible at the corners of his eyes, he felt like something was blocked in his heart, and he was sad for a while.

Huangfu Chen! You are so sad to hurt your mother, this king will never just forget it!

After Huangfu Jin left, the Night Queen slowly opened her eyes and took out a finely carved mutton fat white jade from her sleeve. The jade pendant is full moon shaped, the texture is moist and delicate, the phoenix tail pattern is carved all around, and the word "Pingluo" is engraved with a hairpin flower in the middle.

The Night Queen's pale fingertips slid lightly over the text, and she murmured as if talking to herself: "Sister Yu, although you are gone, you are still alive in the emperor's heart. Back then, you left that shocking secret when you were alive, but when he returned, he was gray hair for you overnight. This palace loves him to the bone, how can he bear to tell him the truth of the matter...... This palace has a clear conscience in his life, but only that one thing has suffering. It was a mistake to think about it back then, and then I did that foolish thing. If you have a spirit in heaven, and you see that you have done your best in this palace for so many years, and you have treated your children as your own, and you have suffered for so many years, will you forgive this palace? ”

There was silence in the hall, and naturally no one answered the whispers of the Night Queen. After a while, the Night Queen put the jade pendant back in her sleeve, and gently closed the phoenix eyes again, but she didn't open them for a long time. This time, it seems that I really fell asleep.

In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there was a group of joys in Jian'an City, and before it was time to open the lights, the streets were already full of red lights, whips and bamboos sounded, and every household laughed and laughed all night.

In the imperial palace, the red palace lamps are hung high under the long corridor of carved beams and paintings, the colorful silk ribbons are knotted all over, and even a few old willows in the imperial garden are decorated with a new look to welcome the new year.

The palace maids who come and go hold red lacquered wooden plates in their hands, and keep passing the delicacies from the imperial dining room to the Jialan Palace, where candles are lit everywhere.

After the ceremony, the palace concubines and princes had already arrived early, and after greeting each other, they stood in the hall and gathered in twos and threes to chat, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and queen Jin Luan.

Only Huang Fu Chen stood alone in the corner of the main hall, motionless as a mountain, exuding a cold coercion that no one could approach, so that some of the clan relatives and nobles who originally wanted to meet him were also unable to move forward after feeling such a cold temperament of this King Chen, and turned around and walked to the modest and polite Crown Prince Fu Jin.

After about two cups of tea, with the sound of silk and bamboo, accompanied by the high-pitched shout of "the emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived", under the golden palace fan, the queen and the emperor entered hand in hand and sat down on the main seat directly above.

Tonight, the queen wore a bright red phoenix-patterned embroidered robe, graceful and luxurious, which made her face a lot ruddy, as if she could still see the bright and gorgeous elegance of the year. Emperor Fu Hao was dressed in a dragon robe, although his hair was gray, he was in good spirits, his eyes were blazing, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven was fully displayed.

Everyone in the hall bowed down and bowed, and for a time the sound of the mountain echo resounded throughout the hall. After sitting down, the concubines and relatives all sat down one by one according to their own grades, and waited for the emperor to open the spoon.

Huangfu Chen's face was silent, his eyes did not squint, and he sat alone in front of the second low table in the left row, sipping a cup of fragrant tea with his eyes down, indifferent to everything in the hall.

The first one sat naturally in front of the crown prince Fujin, with a smile on the corner of his lips, full of spring breeze, sitting upright on the seat, in stark contrast to Huangfu Chen.

The Night Queen's gaze quickly scanned around the hall, and finally landed on Huangfu Chen's body, staying for a few seconds and moving away without a trace, without saying a word.

She felt a lot in her heart, this is the first time in nine years that Huang Fuchen has returned to Beijing for the New Year, participated in the palace banquet, and celebrated the New Year with herself. Unconsciously, her eyes were slightly red, and when she took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, she suddenly found that Huang Fuhao was looking at her with deep eyes, and her eyes were frosty.
