The Queen Mother held Mu Xuefu's hand tightly, but quickly shook her head, the look on her face was like a fallen rose petal, she was weak, she spit out a breath of turbidity, "No, you are not a Jiao Niang, you are better looking than Jiao Niang." Raising his hand and gently touching Mu Xuefu's face, "However, it really looks like it, this nose, this mouth, this eyebrows and eyes, like." ”

When the Queen Mother called out the word "Jiao Niang", Mu Xuefu's body couldn't stop trembling, it turned out that there were still people in this world who thought of their mother. The bottom of her eyes was instantly covered with a layer of moisture, and the crystals that gathered on the tear glands were about to burst out of her eyes immediately, but she swallowed them back raw.

The corners of her mouth pulled out a smile stiffly, and even her voice trembled, Mu Xuefu tried her best to stabilize her mind, so as not to show an untimely state in front of Jing Rong, "Jiao Niang? Whose lady is it? was said to be so similar to the queen mother, the granddaughter-in-law wanted to see it. ”

The Queen Mother's expression was a little stagnant, as if she was recalling the past. His eyes were like a layer of wet mist, hazy and dim, and the hand covering Mu Xuefu's face slowly slid down, and he sighed: "I will never see it again, such a beautiful woman with Zhong Lingyu will never be seen again." However, for a moment, the darkness in his eyes opened like chaos, bright and clear. She looked at Mu Xuefu, her face was full of love, and she beckoned Jing Rong to step forward, "Your daughter-in-law is in the eyes of the mourning family, and you will definitely treat others well in the future, if you let her be wronged, the mourning family will be the first to treat you." ”

Jing Rong smiled and said, "Yes, the grandson will never wronged her, the imperial grandmother, you can rest assured." ”

After talking and laughing like this for a while, the Queen Mother looked at Mu Xuefu, and the more she looked, the more she felt that she had the shadow of a beautiful girl. And Mu Xuefu looked at her, her heart seemed to have a kind of family call, her smile was kind and moisturizing, and the softness and gentleness between her eyebrows were the same as her mother, yes, the daughters of the Wei family have this elegant and gentle taste in their bones, cousins and nephews, naturally similar.

As she spoke, the Queen Mother mentioned Queen Xuan's mother and son, but her tone was diametrically opposed to the previous amicable attitude, "It's always been nothing good for their mother and son to come back, you have to be vigilant, that woman is the most scheming." If she hadn't used methods to get your father drunk back then, how would she be Princess Yu? is still a county lord, and even such a cheap method is used. Because of this incident, there was a rift in the relationship between the son and the grandson, and because of this incident, the eldest son's life was smeared with an indelible stain. Originally, the fiefdom army belonged to Jingrong's grandson, but I don't know what means the woman used to let the emperor leave the fief to their mother and son.

A sudden gloom swept over his handsome face, and the corners of Jing Rong's mouth contained a smile, and said, "Your grandson has grown up, so you don't have to worry about this." Besides, the military power is still in my hands, and she doesn't dare to move yet. ”

The Queen Mother nodded, but the melancholy at the center of her eyebrows still did not dissipate, and worry tactfully came out of her words, "Having said that, there is a branch of An Wangfu behind her, which should not be underestimated." ”

Jing Rongxuan raised his eyebrows, changed his words, and said: "The imperial grandmother will definitely stay for a little longer this time, and King Ning will marry the new princess after the year, and you will be better than you." ”

The Queen Mother pursed her lips, with an indescribable tiredness at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Why do you still use the old eyes of the mourning family to pass by?" Now there is her mother concubine, no matter how bad it is, there is still Concubine Wen, can you not choose a satisfactory princess? It's not that she said that she was the young lady of the military department. Now in this court, the princes are eager to marry all the young ladies of those high-ranking and powerful families. ”

remembered that Mu Xuefu and Princess Rui around him were sisters, and knew that he shouldn't say this in front of her. The Queen Mother turned her head to look at her, her smile warmed up like the earth, and the breeze floated gently, "However, your imperial uncle has done a good thing and gave you such a beautiful lady who is like a flower and jade." ”

Jing Rong said with a smile: "This is all the grace of the imperial uncle." ”

What kind of person is the queen mother, how can she not know that the purpose of the emperor's marriage is nothing more than to balance the power of several princes. As for why she married Miss Zuo Xiangjia to Jingrong, she was like a mirror in her heart.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother seemed to think of something, the corners of her eyes rose slightly, her eyes fell on Mu Xuefu's stomach, although there was still a smile on her mouth, but there was no warmth in that smile, "I heard that you had a miscarriage?" Why are you so careless? ”

Mu Xuefu hurriedly got up and apologized: "It's not good for the concubine to protect her son."

"Get up," the Queen Mother pulled her up without waiting for her to finish, "What kind of child protection is not good, this child is in your belly, how can you say that it is gone?" ”

Mu Xuefu rubbed her handkerchief, raised her eyes to look at Jingrong, lowered her head and pursed her lips, and said: "The doctor said that the concubine is young and the fetal image is unstable, so it will not be there." ”

She looked at Jing Rong's eyes naturally couldn't escape the Queen Mother, and she even had to look at Jing Rong's face to answer questions, obviously this matter was not so simple. But since her grandson didn't want to tell the truth, she didn't want to ask. The Queen Mother slowed down, patted her and said: "Also, you are young, this fetus is inevitably unstable, relax, there will be opportunities in the future." It's just that it's not too late, it's not good to be crossed by other concubines, you have to know that our royal family is very particular about the eldest son. ”

Mu Xuefu smeared a layer of crimson on her face, and said shyly: "Yes." ”

In this way, he found another topic and revealed the matter, until it was close to noon, and the Queen Mother was slightly tired, and the two of them retired together.

For a long time after they left, the Queen Mother kept looking outside, but her eyes were empty, as if she was remembering something.

"When the Queen Mother saw Prince Chen today, I'm afraid she misses King Yu, right?" Mama Yu, who has followed the Queen Mother for many years, handed over a cup of fragrant tea, and the tea gas floated, blurring the Queen Mother's expression.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and sighed softly, "The mourning family just remembered the scene of leading the princess to visit the mourning family after Cangling's wedding, and they are also a pair of beautiful people, looking from a distance, they look like the golden boy and jade girl under the Guanyin seat." Put the blue-glazed blue and white porcelain cup on the table next to it, stand up with Mama Yu's hand, and go to the Buddha Hall, "Today's pair is even more outstanding, I'm afraid that it is not enough to describe it in all the best words." ”

"That's not as good as when the Queen Mother and the Emperor were together." Mama Yu carefully hugged her, smiled lowly, and said.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "You, you will use good things to make the mourning family happy." ”

Mama Yu said with a smile: "The slave maid is telling the truth, how can it become a flattering word in the ears of the queen mother, then the queen mother has wronged the slave and maid." ”

"Who do you notice that Princess Chen looks like?" The Queen Mother's expression was relaxed, and the wrinkles on her forehead dissipated like auspicious clouds blown by the wind, but when she thought of Mu Xuefu's face, it was like a thousand-petal chrysanthemum closing.

Mama Yu paused, turned her eyes to look at the Queen Mother, and said, "The world is big, there must be similar people." The slave maid looked at the eyebrows and eyes, but there was a style of our Wei family, which was also somewhat similar to Miss Jiao Niang. ”

"Yes, the mourning family remembered Jiao Niang when they saw her, and the mourning family remembered that Jiao Niang seemed to have a daughter, right?"

Mama Yu's face was embarrassed, and a trace of moisture welled up in her eyes, "Yes, a son and a daughter, the Queen Mother also said at that time that she had both children and daughters, and she was a blessed person." ”

"Alas!" The Queen Mother sighed heavily, "At the beginning, the marriage was still grieved and begged by the emperor, I wanted to find her a husband who was both talented and good-looking, but I didn't want to send her into the ghost gate." That's it, don't talk about the past. He stopped at his feet, looked at Mama Yu deeply, and said, "Who did you say that Princess Chen had a miscarriage?" ”

Mama Yu's expression was grim, "How did the Queen Mother know that Princess Chen's miscarriage was done by someone else, didn't she just say that the fetus was unstable?" ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and a snort overflowed from her lips, "Do you believe this?" Fifteen is a little younger, but it is not so young that you can't keep your children because of your young age. In ancient times, women were pregnant and gave birth to children at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and how could she become an excuse for not being able to keep the child. Besides, if you look at Ah Rong's eyes when she answers the question, it is clear that there is something in this, but Ah Rong doesn't let her say it, and she doesn't dare to tell the truth. ”

"Is it because of King Chen's concubine, and the prince warned the princess to keep silent about this matter in order to protect his favorite concubine?" Mama Yu guessed.

"Favorite concubine? Who have you heard he has pampered in recent years? A glimmer of light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, "Who is the most unwilling to see him have a son, don't you know in your heart?" ”

"Queen Xuan's mother and son?" Mama Yu's eyes lit up, and she blurted out without turning her brain. But then he thought, "But if it's them, the prince has no reason to defend it?" ”

The Queen Mother didn't make a sound, slowly closed her eyes, gently twisted the Buddha beads with one hand, and knocked on the wooden fish with the other. She knew that the person in Mama Yu's heart was not Queen Xuan's mother and son, and the answer in her heart was also the answer in her heart.

Far away from the Changqiu Palace, Jing Rong and Mu Xuefu have been silent, and they are not as intimate and laughing as when they came.

"It can be seen that the Queen Mother likes you very much, and if you have nothing to do these days, you will often go to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother." Jing Rong looked at Mu Xuefu and didn't speak, but there was a little sadness in his eyes, he thought about it and took the lead in speaking.

Mu Xuefu came back to her senses, pulled her lips, and wanted to laugh but it was ugly than crying, "That's because the Queen Mother likes the prince and loves the house and Wu, so she will give the concubine a few colors." The Queen Mother's voice almost shattered her heart. Let her hide in the bottom of her heart, the pain she didn't want to mention was brought out again.

Jing Rong thought that she was unhappy because the Queen Mother was a little guilty when she mentioned the miscarriage just now, so she grabbed her and coaxed: "The Queen Mother didn't really blame you. ”

Mu Xuefu frowned, she didn't care about this at all. Her just right performance just now has made the Queen Mother remember it in her heart. Sometimes it's more useful not to say it than to say it.

Mu Xuefu glanced at him with disgust and said, "Even though the concubine's belly was empty at that time, the things sent by the emperor really carried the dirty stuff of abortion. Why didn't the prince tell the queen mother, so that she could make decisions for you. ”

"Not to mention whether the poison on that thing is the emperor's, even if it is, what do you think the queen mother will do?" Jing Rong's hand on her shoulder tightened hard, "The emperor is the son of the queen mother, even if the queen mother loves this king again, what can she do?" Besides, the Queen Mother is old, so don't bother her. ”
