In the winter of the seventh year of Taijing, heavy snow covered the entire capital, and it had been snowing for several days in a row, and it had stopped and stopped, and it had stopped and stopped, and the soldiers shoveled snow in the streets every day, and the weather was very cold, but the people did not settle at home, but went out in all directions. Because, it is about to come to the day when the prince will go out of the palace to pray for his mother, and every household is decorated with lights, and the door is pasted with blessings, which means that he will accompany the prince to pray for the dead concubine.

The zombies besieged the city that day, if it weren't for Concubine Le, now I am afraid that the city has already been ruined and the country has perished, where is there still today's prosperity? After Liu Ji ascended the throne, he promulgated a series of measures to benefit the people, reduced taxes, built private schools, vigorously promoted education, and promoted the opening of ports, and the economy suddenly prospered. Today, Liu Guo has become the largest power in the Central Plains. Of course, the first emperor had already laid a good foundation for Liu Guo, with internal chaos and external truce, so after Emperor Taijing ascended the throne, he could show his strength.

King Qing now has a son and a daughter, his son is more than eight years old, and he invited Xixi to teach in the house, and his daughter Lingbo County Lord is also about to be six years old.

Today is the Queen Mother's thousand years old, and King Qing led a large family into the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. The Queen Mother has been in good health for a long time since she was happy to have her grandson six years ago, and although the weather is cold this year, she ordered a big celebration, and issued a decree that the prince would go out of the palace to pray for his biological mother one day after his thousand autumn years.

"Imperial grandmother, my mother, what kind of person is she?" The prince snuggled up to the Queen Mother, raised his immature face, and asked the Queen Mother.

In the Shangyang Palace, it was full of people from the royal family, and the emperor and empress sat under the queen mother's seat, looking at the prince with loving eyes.

When the Empress Dowager heard the prince's question, she hugged the prince a little tighter, and said lovingly: "Grandmother thinks that your mother is the best woman in the world. There was a slight trace of regret on her face, and she never formally apologized to Concubine Le and said sorry for the sake of face. Because of her deliberate difficulty, Concubine Le's short harem career was also very unsatisfactory. When a person dies, even if he wants to say it now, he has nowhere to say it, and it has become a lifelong regret.

The prince was a little yearning: "Then I really want to see her." ”

The prince's words made everyone present a little gloomy, King Qing's eyes were a little distant, and there was a hint of smile and sadness on the corner of his mouth, he muttered: "It's not just you, we all want to see her a lot, I hope she can come back to life like last time!" ”

The crown prince had already heard about the resurrection, so his mother had become a capable person in his heart, and he was proud to have such a powerful mother, but at a young age, even though there were many people around him who loved him, he had never seen his mother, and when he thought about it, he would feel uncomfortable.

The emperor thought of the woman who rode and flew in the wind, her laughter in the wind seemed to still ring in her ears, and the streamer was like water, she had been gone for more than six years!

The queen said softly to the prince: "In the queen mother's bedroom, there are many portraits of your biological mother, if Xi'er misses her, you can go to the queen's bedroom to look at her portraits." ”

The prince said, "But the portrait is dead, even if I look at her, she will not talk to me, I hope she can say a word to me." "The immature voice is the saddest desire in the world.

The concubine sighed and said, "After so many years, I have never let go of her in my heart." ”

The king of the town also said: "If it weren't for him, this king wouldn't know that he had a biological flesh and blood to this day." Concubine Le is Liu Guo's benefactor, but it's a pity that she has a thin life. ”

The prince said sadly: "She died to give birth to me, so didn't I kill her?" ”

The Queen Mother felt a pain in her heart, and hurriedly hugged him, her eyes were already full of tears: "Silly child, don't say that, you are your mother's baby, you are what she bought with her life, so you have to uphold your mother's kindness and wisdom, ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, and benefit the people, you have your mother's expectations for you, so you must not think nonsense." ”

The crown prince looked at the emperor and pleaded: "Father, they say that the emperor is omnipotent, why don't you help me intercede with Lord Yama and let me see my mother." ”

The Emperor stared at him, remembering the dream he had had with the Empress all those years ago, in which she said she had returned to her hometown. This dream was later interpreted by the national teacher as that he and the queen were both thinking about each other, so they had such a dream.

The chief eunuch Huang Dongzhu hurriedly entered, holding a scroll of calligraphy and paintings and a brocade box in his hand, knelt in front of the queen mother, and said: "Slaves see the queen mother, see the emperor, see the queen, see the prince, see the princess!" ”

"Little pillar, what are you holding in your hand?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile, the topic just now was sad, she was afraid of upsetting the prince, and now Huang Dongzhu came in, probably a gift from the ministers, which just happened to open the topic, so she pushed the boat down the river, so she asked deliberately.

Huang Dongzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "This was sent in by the guard guarding the door just now, and it was said that a woman named Sanmao sent it over to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday!" ”

Everyone was shocked, King Qing almost stood up suddenly, and asked Huang Dongzhu: "Where is that woman now?" ”

"It's already gone, the guards guarding the door have only been transferred this year, and they are new people, but there are just some old guards passing by, and he said that there is a man standing next to the woman, and his face is exactly the same as that of the first emperor!" Huang Dongzhu said.

The emperor and the prince of Qingwang Town hurriedly got up to chase after him, and as soon as he chased him out to the gate of the palace, he saw Mo Li panting and rushing, as soon as he saw the two of them, he hurriedly said: "I met a person just now, he looks exactly the same, I want to catch up, but I disappeared in a blink of an eye." ”

"Really? Is there a woman next to him? The Emperor asked.

"Yes, the two of them are dressed very strangely, I chased and shouted after them, and they disappeared suddenly!" Mo Lidao, there was crazy excitement on his face, and there was a subtle disbelief in his eyes.

The emperor knew the origin of Mao Leyan, she once told him about the things of that era, such as the culture and politics of dress, he actually thought that she had gone home, but he didn't expect to be with her gradually.

He looked into the distance stupidly and muttered, "Since you're back, why don't you see your relatives?" ”

King Qing's eyes are complicated, once this woman, as long as he uses snacks, she is his, but he has not fought for it well. He let out a long sigh. Although he also has happiness that belongs to him, there is a feeling that he can't get, hidden in his heart, and has become a lifelong regret. Perhaps, happiness has regrets, and a life with regrets is the real life. He even wondered if he could go back in time, would he still cling to his dignity as he did before, and would not dare to take a step forward.

The four of them walked back slowly, they knew that if the two of them deliberately avoided it, even if they searched the entire capital, or even the entire Liu Kingdom, it would be in vain. It's just that they don't understand, since they're back, why don't they show up? Even if you don't see them, you should meet Xi'er!

Xi'er is more than six years old this year, and since he told him about his biological mother, he has never forgotten to meet his biological mother, and they all know that no matter how much everyone loves him, they can't replace Mao Leyan's place in his heart.

A group of people also came out of the palace gate in the snow to wait, and when the emperor and others came back, the queen mother asked anxiously: "How is it?" See? ”

The emperor shook his head slowly: "I can't see it, Mo Li has seen it from afar, but I can't catch up!" ”

There was huge disappointment on the queen mother's face, she reached out to hug the prince, and said a little sadly: "Xi'er, your mother has been here!" ”

The prince didn't understand: "Since you're back, why don't you come to see Xi'er?" ”

The Queen Mother said with difficulty: "Yin and Yang are separated, it is inconvenient in the end!" ”

Everyone's expressions darkened, and a sentence of yin and yang woke everyone up, she was already the person who went, not as before.

The concubine suddenly said loudly: "By the way, what about the brocade box sent by Mr. Huang?" Open it up and see what's it? ”

The Queen Mother then remembered, and hurriedly ordered someone to take the brocade box and open it, inside, there was a stack of colorful drawings, the Queen Mother only glanced at it, and then cried bitterly.

It turned out that it was a stack of photos, in the photos, Liu Gradual's face was still the same as before, and there was a woman standing next to him, although her face was different, but from her eyes and movements in the photos, you could still see Mao Leyan's shadow.

Everyone took turns looking at the photos, and everyone was amazed at how these clear drawings were made, and how realistic they were. There are home photos, there are maternity photos, and there is a naked baby, the baby is slowly growing up, and the last one, the child, is three years old. These are like a record book, recording their lives and recording the bits and pieces of their lives.

Huang Dongzhu ordered someone to open the picture scroll, it is a picture of Lao Jun's birthday, painted vividly, with an inscription below: Congratulations to the queen mother for a long life and good health! The following payment is for his son Liu Jian and daughter-in-law Mao Leyan.

The Queen Mother cried: "They really came, it's them!" ”

Everyone was shocked, although they didn't understand the reason, but because they thought that Mao Leyan was not an ordinary woman, it was not strange what happened today.

There is a family banquet in the palace at night, and there are fireworks shows, and the theater troupe in the palace has also prepared several programs.

After the family banquet, the Queen Mother felt a little tired, but because her children and grandchildren were happy, she also moved to Xilian Garden to watch the play.

After watching a few plays, everyone was a little excited, and the emperor wanted to order fireworks to lift everyone's spirits, but before he gave the order, he saw that the last play was finished, and the servant said loudly: "The Empress Dowager Qi, today's play has been completed, but the slave wants to add a play!" ”

When the Queen Mother saw that everyone was tired, she said, "That's it, let's go set off fireworks!" ”

The servant said: "Queen Mother, this play will definitely surprise everyone!" ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand: "No need, the mourning family is also a little tired, you go down to receive the reward!" ”

After saying that, he was about to get up, Mama Qian hurriedly came up to help, and the emperor and others also left the table, planning to move to the lake to watch the fireworks.
