Chapter 45: Silence is better than sound at this time
"This is the best, and the mourning family will be relieved." Although the Empress Dowager said a relieved statement, there was no expression on her face, and her tone was slightly slow.
"The Empress Dowager, ...... Did you eat the medicine cake sent by the concubine and the palace maid? The medicine cake is made from the unique secret recipe of the concubine's mother's family, which is the most nourishing for the body. ”
After saying that, she didn't see any reaction from the Queen Mother, Wei Qingyan was a little embarrassed, pinched the sleeves in her hand, and the embroidered patterns on the sleeves were all caught and taken off.
"The Empress Dowager doesn't like the smell of medicine, and she gives food to the mourning family, the queen won't blame the mourning family, right?" Jing Wu saw that the Empress Dowager didn't mean to speak, thinking that the medicine cake was eaten by herself, as the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, and she was embarrassed not to open her mouth.
Wei Qingyan's eyes darkened after hearing this, and she immediately reacted inappropriately, "How can the concubine blame the queen mother, the queen mother is the elder concubine, and the medicine cake makes the queen mother eat the concubine is also at ease." ”
Jing Wu didn't answer, smiled lightly, pressed the corner of her lips, gestures are an indescribable extravagance, Wei Qingyan looked at that person jealously, the suppressed emotions in her heart were about to swallow her, she was suddenly startled, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from her forehead.
What's wrong with her? It's just a newly widowed queen mother, worse than herself, why should she be jealous of her? Wei Qingyan didn't know what the inexplicable feeling in her heart was, looking at that beautiful face, she always had a feeling of losing everything.
"Is the queen tired? The mourning family saw that the queen's face was not quite right, it was better to go back and ask a doctor to take a look, you are still young, you must pay attention to your body, you look at the mourning family, you are old, although you can't see anything on the surface, but the inside has long been decayed......"
The Empress Dowager said so many words for the first time, and when Wei Qingyan heard this, she thought she was concerned about her, and her eyes widened in surprise, regardless of the strangeness in her heart, but the next words made her body stiffen.
“…… The empress has been married to the emperor for a year now, right? As he spoke, he glanced at the stomach that was blocked by Wei Qingyan's hand, and said slowly: "It's been a year, and there is no heir yet, this huge country must be inherited!" He sighed and closed his eyes.
The circles under her eyes were red, and her tears couldn't help but drip to the ground, Jing Wu couldn't bear to look at it, don't open her eyes, these words are a stinging for any woman, and Wei Qingyan is so arrogant, the Empress Dowager's move is undoubtedly to make Wei Qingyan naked in the eyes of everyone.
"Stand down!"
After a long time, a Buddha bead moved again, so that the silence in the hall was broken, and the Empress Dowager who was seated did not open her eyes, as if she expected it, and Wei Qingyan couldn't help but say before.
She didn't have time to say "the concubine retired" so she picked up her long clothes and ran out of Lu'an Palace, Jing Wu saw that the Empress Dowager didn't make a sound, and she also adjusted her breathing to make her breathing lighter, and after seeing Wei Qingyan's whereabouts, she didn't dare to say more.
"What? Stopped talking? ”
After a while, she spoke, chuckled, and showed the wrinkles on her face.
Jing Wu was stunned for a moment, glanced away, looked down at herself, knowing that she was talking to herself, she didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "The concubine thought that the empress dowager was happy and quiet, and she didn't dare to disturb." She bowed her head slightly, her attitude was humble, and the Empress Dowager nodded affirmatively.
"You've been with the mourning family for so long, you should be tired, go back to the palace to rest! The Buddhist scriptures are recited well, and the mourning family is very happy. After speaking, the Empress Dowager added another sentence, and her face was much more relaxed than just now.
Jing Wu was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced, moved his stiff shoulders, but did not dare to show anything on his face, "The concubine will step back and come back tomorrow to accompany the Queen Mother." ”
"I don't use it tomorrow, I can do it every two days, the mourning family is old, I always like to chant Buddha before, and now the mourning family knows that the truth of the world is the most valuable."
The Empress Dowager said in the end, her expression became more and more vicissitudes, and the Buddhist beads that did not leave her hand were put on the table, Jing Wu took her hand, and inadvertently touched the thick cocoon on her finger belly, and naturally understood why.
"The concubine has learned to pinch her hands, and she knows the acupuncture points on her hands, so it's better for the concubine to press the queen mother, right?"
Jing Wu looked at the old hands thinly, the fingers were a little stiff, and even a little deformed, one after another, and the green tendons were all over the whole hand.
She didn't speak, just stared at the hand that was grabbed by Jing Wu, her body stiffened, Jing Wu had to soothe her hand, and the comfortable strength made the Empress Dowager gradually relax, Jing Wu smiled, looked down at the hands, and dredged a little bit according to the technique in her memory.
Gradually, the Empress Dowager closed her eyes, breathed a long time, Jing Wu let go of her hand, took the thin quilt and put it on, and curled her index finger to everyone and "shh
When Jingwu came out of Lu'an Palace, he hid in no one and moved his body, let Yingzhu go to check that no one came out, and bypassed the big banyan tree when passing by the front hall, in front of him was an arch bridge, and the bottom of the arch bridge was green water, in fact, the water was not green, but the aquatic grass and moss growing below made the water surface become turquoise, she stayed on the arch bridge, teasing the tail wagging tail of the fish under the arch bridge, and sprinkled a handful of bait, which was taken out of the wooden pillar on the side of the arch bridge, and I think someone specially prepared it.
"The Queen Mother seems to be very leisurely."
There was a resentful voice behind her, she turned her head to look, it turned out to be Wei Qingyan, she looked a lot embarrassed at the moment, maybe her skin was too tender, and there were obvious marks on her face, especially the eyes, which were red, as if she had cried, but she didn't seem to be aware of it, and she didn't hide it at all.
Jing Wu frowned, and all the remaining bait in his hand was sprinkled, attracting a group of fish to jump out of the water first, splashing a little bit of water, and the crystal body of the fish reflected colorful light.
"Why is the Queen here? Shouldn't you go back to the dormitory? ”
As if she hadn't heard the resentment in Wei Qingyan's words, Jing Wu asked, seeing that there was no palace maid beside her, and she didn't know what was going on.
