Jingrong said something to Emperor Xuanwu, and Zhao Yi was ordered to enter the palace to treat the Queen Mother. Sure enough, within a few days, the Queen Mother's condition had improved, and her face was a little more rosy, sweeping away the turbid and pale state of the previous time.

After Mu Xuefu served the Queen Mother and rinsed her mouth with medicine, she talked to her for a while, and waited until she was talking and taking a nap before she and Mama Yu gently waited for her to lie down.

Mama Yu covered the light curtain, pinched her throat and said softly: "The princess is tired all morning, so hurry back to the house to rest." There are old slaves waiting here, you can rest assured. ”

"My aunt works hard to take care of the imperial grandmother, and she also has to pay attention to her body. I don't think your weather is very good, so you usually need to take more maintenance. Although I can often go into the palace to take care of one or two, in the final analysis, the imperial grandmother still depends on you to take care of it. Mu Xuefu pulled Mama Yu out of the dormitory, and then spoke in a normal voice, "There are other palace maids on the left, you can leave some small things to them to do." Although you can't be careful, but someone can help you, you can be more relaxed, right? ”

Mama Yu sighed softly and said, "For so many years, the affairs of the Queen Mother have been done by the old slave herself, and I will not feel at ease if I let others do it." The old slave is a slave, and he can be more comfortable if he does more, but if he does less, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable for a day. What's more, it is really not safe to hand over to other people's old slaves, and only by doing it yourself can you feel at ease. ”

"After so many years, Mama has really done her best to the imperial grandmother." Mu Xuefu smiled calmly, her gaze crossed her silk, and there was already a layer of snow white on it. Mama Yu is only a few years younger than the Queen Mother, she is already old, and she has to take care of the Queen Mother like when she was young, this age is really not easy.

Mama Yu said abruptly: "I think when I followed the Queen Mother from Wei Guogong to the palace, the Queen Mother had a total of four old slaves around her, and the world has changed, but now only the old slave is left to serve the Queen Mother." The queen mother is kind, and she has been lenient to the old slave for decades, and the old slave has nothing to repay in this life, so she can only serve her as a cow and a horse for a lifetime. She didn't say anything unlucky, but she thought that she would wait until the Queen Mother died a hundred years later, so that she could have peace of mind.

Saying this, Mu Xuefu sighed in her heart and said, "Because of this, Mama must take care of herself." At this time, the imperial grandmother has slept, you should also rest and rest, who is tired of serving the imperial grandmother.

"Thank you, Princess, for your concern." Mama Yu looked at Mu Xuefu, her eyes were full of love. Xu is because the lady or any princess in this palace is not as dedicated to serving the queen mother as the princess in front of her, so she has an inexplicable good impression of this princess. The hand unconsciously took Mu Xuefu's hand and said, "The princess doesn't know, among so many daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law, the queen mother's favorite is you, the princess." Always say that you are good in the ear of the old slave, that you are filial piety, considerate, and serve her old man better than the old slave. ”

Mu Xuefu held her hand, gently stroked the back of her rough hand with her thumb, and said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother is really ridiculous, serving her old man is not what I, a junior, should do, besides, I am the most careless person, and it is not bad not to cause trouble for grandma and imperial grandmother." In fact, the filial piety of the mothers and princesses of each palace is the same as mine, and they all hope to serve the imperial grandmother and fulfill their filial piety. ”

is so humble, even if he is praised, he will not step on others, such a bearing is indeed good, and he is worthy of King Chen. Mama Yu assessed in her heart. She stared at Mu Xuefu's face, her eyes wandered for a moment, and said, "There is another very important reason why the Queen Mother likes the princess, does the princess know?" She turned and poured a cup of tea for Mu Xuefu, her eyes not taking her eyes off her face.

Mu Xuefu took the tea and said, "It's because the imperial grandmother loves my lord, the house and Wu, so she also likes me a little." ”

"Not exactly." Mama Yu sat next to Mu Xuefu and said, "The Queen Mother's love for the house and Wu is one thing, and the most important thing is that the princess is very much like a person. ”

Mu Xuefu knew what she meant, and hurriedly lowered her eyes, hiding the hesitation and messiness in her eyes, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "Who is it like?" ”

"Like the niece of the Queen Mother's family, she is the young lady of Wei Guoki." Speaking of this, Mama Yu shook her head and sighed, as if she had infinite helplessness and sadness, "Miss Jiao Niang is the most beautiful lady in our Wei State Mansion, the Queen Mother loves her very much, and the slave maid did not play with her when she was in the Wei State Mansion at that time. She was a little beauty carved in pink and jade when she was a child, and when she grew up, she was a big beauty in the bright imperial city. ”

Mu Xuefu's voice trembled a little, and her fingers slid the tea lid over and over the tea rim, faster and faster, "How come I have never seen that young lady in Qianqiu Palace?" The niece of the imperial grandmother should be not young, she is not in the imperial city, she should have married to another place. ”

Mama Yu didn't notice Mu Xuefu's strange look, and said to herself: "Miss Jiao Niang married the general of Zhenguo when she was in the mood for love, and she is a talented and beautiful woman, and she is simply a natural pair. They are a loving husband and wife, and they gave birth to a son and a daughter, not to mention how happy they are. It's just ······ The face is thin, and then something happened to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and the family ······ The whole family ······"

"Dead." Mu Xuefu's eyes were slightly dilated, as if she was infected by Mama Yu's words, stopped all her movements, and said softly.

Mama Yu sighed, "Yes, they are all dead." With a gentle breath, Mama Yu didn't mean to continue, and said: "The princess's eyebrows are very similar to Miss Jiaoniang, although it is not much like it when you look closely, but you stand there and make people think it is her." ”

"That's why the Queen Mother shouted Jiao Niang's name when she saw me for the first time." Mu Xuefu was smiling all the time, and her eyes were already covered with a thin layer of warmth. There was a hint of relief in her heart, her mother had been dead for so long, and there were still people in this world who had been thinking about her after all.

Mama Yu's gaze slowly brushed her cheeks, and she paused for a moment and said: "The Queen Mother has always felt guilty, just because when Miss Jiao Niang married General Zhenguo, it was the Queen Mother who made the matchmaker, and she always felt that if she hadn't been the matchmaker and made their marriage, Miss Jiao Niang would not have died." Therefore, when the Queen Mother sees you, the princess, it is like seeing Miss Jiao Niang, looking at you, she wants to be good to you. A tear slipped down the corner of her eye, and Mama Yu hurriedly wiped it away with one hand, "Princess, don't misunderstand the meaning of the old slave, the old slave just wants to say that she hopes that the princess will accompany the queen mother more, even if she recognizes the wrong person, she should be making up for her guilt." "She, a slave, shouldn't have said this, let alone Princess Chen.

It's just that the Queen Mother's illness really frightened her, for so many years, the Queen Mother has basically been healthy, and this sudden illness made her feel at a loss. Especially a few days ago, the Queen Mother did not get better after taking any medicine, but became more and more serious, she was really afraid that the Queen Mother would go like this. If the Queen Mother really goes, I'm afraid she will also be at peace because of the people and things that she can't let go of in her heart.

She thought that if Princess Chen could always be by the Queen Mother's side, like Miss Jiao Niang before, even if the Queen Mother would be immortal one day, the guilt of Miss Jiao Niang would be put down.

Mama Yu's thoughts, Mu Xuefu, didn't know that she was by the side of the Queen Mother, and to the Queen Mother she was like a mother accompanying the Queen Mother. Seeing her happy, the Queen Mother's guilt for the original marriage can be weakened, so that she will not bring this guilt into the coffin. In fact, she really wanted to tell the Queen Mother that in fact, her mother was very happy, even if she died, as long as she could be with the person she loved, she would not hesitate. At that moment, when her mother threw her to Mu Zhaolin, and then turned around to find her father, she thought that her mother must be happy.

"I understand what Mama means, don't worry, as long as I am free, I will enter the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. Not for the prince, not for myself, just for that Miss Jiaoniang. Mu Xuefu said this completely out of sincerity, counting that now the relatives who are related to her by blood are the queen mother, so it is reasonable for her to go to the queen mother for her mother to fulfill her filial piety.

Mama Yu looked at Mu Xuefu fixedly, her heart was full of gratitude, and she immediately knelt on the ground, her eyes flashed, and the tears fell with the action of speaking, "The old slave is here to thank the princess." At the moment, she didn't know what to say, but to say thank you.

"Mama, what are you doing here? You've tormented me like this. Mu Xuefu hurriedly helped her up, her voice trembled with choked throats, and she was relieved before she said: "You see that the Queen Mother's illness has improved, her old man is blessed with longevity and Kangning, she must live a long life, and in the future, the prince and I will definitely go to the Queen Mother's side to fulfill our filial piety." ”

Mama Yu comforted in her heart, with Princess Chen's words, even if she is one step ahead of the Queen Mother in the future, the Queen Mother will be taken care of by King Chen's husband and wife, and she can be blinded even if she dies.

After saying something again, Mu Xuefu saw that it was almost noon, so she didn't stay anymore, "It's not too early, I'll retire first, and I'll come back tomorrow to serve the Queen Mother." ”

Mama Yu said: "The prince may come to pick up the princess in a while, and it is not too late for you to sit for a while." ”

"No, Mama, the emperor handed over the Gyeonggi Wei to the prince again, I'm afraid the prince won't have time these days, and it's the same if I go back myself." As soon as Jingzong died, there were no dragons in the Gyeonggi Guard, and the ministers suggested that it would be better for King Chen to lead Gyeonggi Guard, firstly, it would be good for King Chen to control Gyeonggi Guard, and secondly, if Gyeonggi Guard was handed over to any prince, maybe another forced palace would be staged.

"That's good, the old slave won't delay the princess, and the princess will go slowly." Mama Yu no longer persuaded her, and called Gong E to send Mu Xuefu out of the palace.

Out of the Qianqiu Palace, Mu Xuefu walked between the palaces, and vaguely heard a voice from one side of the palace wall that I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, the voice was sharp and harsh, and vaguely familiar.

"Who's crying here?" Mu Xuefu asked Gong E, who sent her out of the palace.

Gong E lowered her eyebrows, and when she saw Princess Chen's question, she said, "If you go back to the princess, you are a princess without worry." Xiao Gong'e was very well-behaved, and only answered in a regular manner, without adding oil and vinegar.

Jing Wan? Muscheph's heart swept through her name. I heard that since the wedding that day, Jing Wan's madness has become more serious, either crying or making trouble, and now even Concubine Wen no longer knows. It's just that even if she doesn't know anyone, it's still her Yuchen brother who is talking about it.
