Chapter Eighty-Five: I Can't Bear to Take Love
Emperor Chang slowly put down the cup, turned to look at the Queen Mother, and said with a smile, "The queen's skills are so peerless, naturally they are comparable." ”
"Qin'er, look, this is not the mourning family praising you, now even the emperor says that your craftsmanship is extraordinary, now, do you believe the words of the mourning family?" The Queen Mother took the hand of the Empress Chang and said meaningfully.
"That's what the Queen Mother said." Chang Hou nodded, making a well-behaved and supple appearance.
The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Chang and said seemingly casually, "Emperor, this is a person who was dug up by the mourning family with great difficulty, knowing that you are a very good tea, this person is not fighting for you, you have to treat the mourning family well." ”
Emperor Chang glanced sideways at Empress Chang, turned around and looked at the Queen Mother again, his expression was less amused, "Queen Mother, the queen's craftsmanship is so good, it is better to stay by your side and take care of you, there are many people making tea in the courtyard of Erchen, so it is not like you to grab this rare thing." ”
As soon as his words fell, Empress Chang's face turned pale, she looked at Emperor Chang in disbelief, he, he actually said that he was a rare thing? In his eyes, is he just a tool that can make tea?
Her eyes drooped, covering the gloom under her eyes, it turned out that everything she had done for him was so humble in his eyes?
Her heart was a little faintly painful at this moment, and a sneer appeared in her heart, after so long, she originally thought that she would no longer be sad because of his indifference, but what is the pain in her heart that people can't ignore?
The queen mother's face faintly flashed a trace of anger, but she also knew that Emperor Chang was such a character, and the gap between the two of them was not a day or two.
The twisted melon is not sweet, knowing that this matter is urgent, the queen mother will not say anything more, but look at Chang Hou with some distress, wanting to give her a little comfort.
Chang Hou showed an indifferent and relaxed smile, such a natural and obedient appearance, which really made people feel a little distressed.
Emperor Chang saw that there was something wrong with the queen mother's face, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Queen Mother, this palace has not been lively for a long time, and the ministers are going to hold a palace banquet in the near future, inviting the sons and ladies of various noble families to get together, and change the coldness of this palace." ”
The Empress Dowager didn't speak, turned around and asked Xiang Changhou, "Qin'er, what do you think of this plan?" ”
Chang Hou smiled and nodded, "It's a good idea, this palace has indeed not held a palace banquet for a long time." When the time comes, let them perform their talents and add some more color. The crown prince and several princes have reached the age of starting a family, and they can take advantage of this palace banquet to look for a good family and choose a good family for them. ”
The Empress Dowager nodded, "Since Qin'er said yes, let's do it this way, the banquets in the palace were all held by you before, and this time, it will be left to you." ”
"Qin'er will not disappoint the queen mother." Standing up after the end, bowing to him, dignified and generous.
"Queen Mother, Qin'er remembered that there were still some things in the palace that had not been completed, so she would go back to the palace first, and come to see you another day." Chang Hou did not want to stay in this temple any longer, and got up and wanted to leave.
"Okay, Qin'er will go back and be busy with you, there is nothing important here in the mourning family. Don't delay your efforts, when you're done, come to this Cining Palace for a walk, and accompany me, an old woman, to relieve boredom. The Queen Mother waved her hand, and she already knew it in her heart.
Empress Chang first bowed to the Queen Mother, bowed to Emperor Chang, and then left Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother looked at the back of Empress Chang leaving, and couldn't help but sigh for her, "Your Majesty, what a good person, why can't you see it?" ”
Emperor Chang's eyes flashed a trace of fluctuation, but he quickly calmed down, still with such an unserious smile, "The queen mother likes the queen, so let her come over to accompany you every day to relieve your boredom, why always make fun of your sons." ”
"Why don't you say you're a child? You've been married for more than ten years, what prejudice can't be let go? The queen mother can see that she really likes you, you pamper so many concubines every year, has she ever complained? Qin'er's beauty is also visible, why can't you give her some favor from the Son of Heaven? ”
The queen mother wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Emperor Chang, his face flashed a touch of impatience, every time he came here, he had to be preached, and he didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup the queen mother was fed, but she wanted to Chang Hou so much, "Queen mother, don't mention this matter again, the son has his own sense of proportion." ”
The queen mother saw that Emperor Chang's face was slightly impatient, and knew that if she continued to talk about it, she would definitely be disliked, so she stopped talking again, and the affairs of the two of them were afraid that no one could help them, so they could only solve it by themselves.
"Okay, well, the queen mother doesn't say it, you, you always feel that the mourning family is verbose, and the mourning family will not mention it in the future." The queen mother waved her hand, knowing that the emperor didn't like to hear these words, but this Qin'er had been married to her for more than 18 years, and the emperor's attitude towards her was always lukewarm, such a good child, she was really a little distressed.
"Forget it, the mourning family is also tired now, you can retreat first." The Empress Dowager waved her hand and motioned for Emperor Chang to leave.
Emperor Chang wanted to say something more, but when he saw that the queen mother's face was already showing exhaustion, he had to give up.
"The retainers retired." After bowing, Emperor Chang left Cining Palace.
After Emperor Chang left the palace, the Empress Dowager stared at the tea set left by Empress Chang after making tea, sighed deeply, turned around and went back to the inner room to rest.
Emperor Chang came out not long after Empress Chang left, and after walking for a long time, he could still see the bright red in front of him.
Emperor Chang looked at the back of Empress Chang a little distracted, after the wedding for so many years, except for the first year, because of various matters related to his Jiangshan Sheji, the two of them had to attend together, in the next few years, he almost avoided her every day, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, time would have passed so long.
Although the two are husband and wife, the number of times they have met over the years is only a handful, and his deliberate avoidance has made the two almost impossible to meet.
Every time he came to Cining Palace, the queen mother would always ask why, why she turned a blind eye to her, as soon as she thought of this, there would be an elegant figure flashing in her mind, and the temperature of blood and tears seemed to remain in the palm of his hand, which was a nightmare that he could not get rid of in his life, and it was also a curse that destined him and her to live like this for the rest of their lives.
