Step by Step Chapter Eighty-Six: There is a backbone in the heart, and there is justice in the heart
Yes, Zhaoyu's mother, Concubine Die, entered the cold palace, but she was a royal lady with a noble status, so naturally there was no reason for her to enter the cold palace with her mother, so the queen mother became a good person again and took Zhaoyu to her.
"Zhaoyu, did you come to accompany the Queen Mother?"
Zhaoyu pursed her lips, it was obvious that she was not used to some of the habits of Shoukang Palace.
Don't think that Shoukang Palace can be entered by a person, you are not qualified to say no to some of the rules and particularities that the Queen Mother likes.
It was Yongniang who walked with Zhaoyu, and Xiaoluo knew that the Queen Mother must be waiting for her in that hall.
"Yongniang, I went to Yanfu two days ago when I was resting, and I heard that you came to look for me, it was the imperial grandmother who missed me."
"Yes, yes, isn't it, the Queen Mother is talking about you?" Yongniang and the Queen Mother are the same age, looking at Zhaoluo is not like looking at their own granddaughter.
"Imperial grandmother, imperial grandmother!" As soon as he turned the hallway, Xiaoluo called. She knew that the Imperial Grandmother liked to hear herself call her like this, and she seemed kind.
"It's still not big or small, where are the rules that taught you?" The Queen Mother pretended to admonish, and she was about to step out of the door in excitement.
"The imperial grandmother is partial, you see that Sister Zhaoluo is called like this, I won't allow it!"
Xiaoluo was followed behind Zhaoyu and sued slightly.
"Look at what I said, haven't you forgotten all the rules I taught you?" Along the steps of Zhaoyu, the imperial grandmother was very noodle,
Xiaoluo ignored it? Besides, the two of them also sang and harmonized, so they really don't care about the rules at this time?
"Imperial grandmother, my favorite hawthorn red bean cake is ready?" Xiaoluo doesn't know what's going on, it's a little skinny.
"Yours are missing, county lord." Yongniang has already served it happily.
"Sister Xiaoluo, do you like to eat this? It's very ordinary, isn't it everywhere in the palace? Zhaoyu opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiaoluo, who had eaten half of the hawthorn cake, a little incredulous. She loves to eat the Hazelnut Cake of the Nine Weather Forecast, which is sweet, delicious and nutritious, but this thing is difficult to get, and it is estimated that she will not be able to eat it now.
"But there's no such thing as the Imperial Grandmother's delicious and sweet here." After Xiaoluo finished speaking, he smiled lightly at the Queen Mother, and then said,
"Would you like to try it?"
Zhaoyu's face was embarrassed, she took it a little hesitantly, and took a small bite with difficulty.
The Queen Mother really couldn't see it like this, so she said,
"If you're tired, go back and rest."
If this order is like an amnesty, Zhaoyu opened her hand holding the pastry and prepared to put it back, the queen mother glared, she quickly put the pastry in her cuff, and she really couldn't finish eating it, so take it away.
"Grandmother has something to confess?" Xiaoluo ate a few pieces and his stomach was already full.
"Are you going to Xiliang?" The Queen Mother asked with concern.
Xiaoluo hesitated for a moment and said,
"I don't know if the prince will go, but if the prince goes, then I will definitely follow."
"It's not appropriate for the prince to go." The Queen Mother muttered to herself, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was talking to her.
"What's wrong with that? This was brought about by the crown prince. ”
"There is no problem with facilitation, but the prince is in the East Palace, the prince of a country, and he is at the border. Doing well is a great achievement, and if you don't do it well, it will endanger his position as the prince. ”
The Queen Mother spoke a little slowly, and it was obvious that she hadn't finished speaking.
"And the gentleman can't sit down, is that what you mean?" Xiaoluo took the Queen Mother's words.
"Xiaoluo still understands my mind." The Queen Mother smiled.
"If the prince doesn't go, then I probably won't be able to go." Xiao Luo finished speaking slowly, looking at the Queen Mother without blinking.
"You mean you want to go, don't you?"
"Imperial Grandmother, do you think I should go?" Xiaoluo wanted to hear the Queen Mother's truest thoughts.
"You can go, but the prince doesn't have to." The Queen Mother said firmly.
Xiao Luo chuckled in her heart, it seems that the Queen Mother wanted to let her go over there to find the truth of what happened back then. I heard that the king of Xizhou was the youngest son of the queen mother.
Xiaoluo didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, she quickly turned around in her mind and said,
"Princess Zhaoyu is also pitiful, she has been clothed and fed for so many years, but now her mother is locked up in the cold palace, and her father is not always there, only you care about her more."
"There is nothing to pity the royal heirs, and what they are carrying is not the responsibility of ordinary people's children."
"So I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune to be in the royal family?"
"What's the misfortune in this, no matter what, the royal family will make decisions for their own children, if they will be wronged, nothing else?" The Queen Mother didn't quite understand where Xiaoluo's sentimentality came from.
"Are you pitiful to Concubine Butterfly?" The Queen Mother asked sharply.
"Speaking of which, this lady is also pitiful, for the royal birth of daughters, for the royal birth of daughters, in order to win the emperor's sacred heart did not hesitate to use some tricks, now can only stay in this cold palace and never come out."
"So you can't do it for yourself, you have to find your own direction in life." The Queen Mother looked at Xiaoluo as if she had a timely warning.
Xiaoluo didn't reply as if he had been poked in his mind, but just lowered his head a little blushing.
"Are you trying to ask something?" The Queen Mother asked with concern.
Xiaoluo looked at Yongniang, Yongniang waved her hand, and the subordinates who had been too far away walked out.
"Imperial grandmother, if you let me go to Xiliang, I will go, but I don't know what I am going to do?"
There is no light on the face of Xiaoluo, nothing more than joy.
"What do you say to save the people of Li from fire and water, and what to protect the people on the border from the riots of the enemy country. These righteousness are acceptable to me, but I know that these are not the most important things, what is the reason why these can't convince me to really go to Xiliang? ”
Xiao Luo finished in one breath.
She said these words at the time of Mrs. Shanyuan, and Mrs. Shanyuan just showed her the way, but the road ahead was vast, and she didn't know what to do.
"What do you think should happen to Concubine Butterfly?" The Queen Mother straightened up and sat down.
What kind of end is good, Xiaoluo didn't think about it, but she didn't think about it.
"Actually, it's a relief for Concubine Butterfly now, you know?"
"Concubine Butterfly has worked hard for her son, and she has worked hard for her own favor, she has no bad intentions, is the royal family so ruthless?"
After enduring it for too long, Xiaoluo couldn't forget the pale face of Concubine Die, she didn't kill anyone, but just to fix her favor.
"You shouldn't have let you go that day." The Queen Mother could not hide the anger in her heart.
"You tell you the truth, what did Concubine Butterfly tell you that day?"
"She said that the emperor deceived her and was hypocritical to her!" Small implementation to tell the truth.
"Child, if it were you, would you have a woman by your side who will do whatever it takes to gain affection? This is nothing more than a trick and a trick between a man and a woman, and this should not be a stumbling block that affects your choice. ”
The Queen Mother's words were very sincere.
"But the Queen Mother, did you let me go to Xiliang because of your youngest son, King Xizhou?"
Finally, the words choked on his chest and heart were spoken.
The Queen Mother shook it, and quickly supported her head with her hands, Xiaoluo was a little nervous, did she ask without thinking about it, and she didn't worry about whether the imperial grandmother could bear it?
"Listen, whether it's the current emperor or the king of Xizhou more than ten years ago, they are all my sons, they are!" The Queen Mother said word by word.
"And you, I've treated you as my own granddaughter, and you always have been."
"If you think that supporting you to go to Xiliang is a use of you, then you can think about it the other way, if you don't go to Xiliang, do you have any regrets for your future life?"
Yes, if you don't go to Xiliang this time but retreat in the capital, this is indeed less use of yourself by others, but what about yourself? If you really live like this, will you have any regrets?
"Imperial grandmother, I didn't mean to be angry with your ......" Xiaoluo began to regret his impulsiveness a little,
"I'm just telling you what I can't figure out, and I hope you can answer my questions."
"Your temperament is somewhat similar to Yingrong, so it's good to explain everything clearly and thoroughly." The Queen Mother was a little sad.
"So I'm really the daughter of the King of Xizhou?"
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the palace, and what Concubine Xu said that day was heard by people in the palace and heard. Although the Queen Mother has already killed some people who spread rumors, as a person concerned, she still wants to know.
"Kid, this is also our speculation, what is going on needs to be verified by yourself."
"Therefore, if you go to Xiliang this time, you will go with your predecessor in this life, and if you can't have the people in mind now, then you should go to find out your own life experience."
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother seemed to be touched,
"The emperor said that you and Yanhui are not people on the same path, and I also know this, Sister Hui'er has never had the so-called righteousness and so-called people, and you have."
"What did the emperor say?" Since that day when she broke the emperor into the warm attic and took pills in advance, she has never communicated with the emperor.
"Yes, the emperor said that you are a woman with a heart in the world."
At this time, Xiaoluo was like being injected with a sobering agent. Sometimes people are really like this, obviously there are shining lights on their bodies, and there are shining places but they can't see them, but they are trapped in the whirlpool that they can't figure out and can't get out.
"Imperial grandmother, I don't know if I am a woman with a righteous heart and a heart for all the people, I promise you to go to Xiliang this time to check my life experience, check the truth of the things back then, and give myself an answer, and I will not leave any regrets in my life."
The Queen Mother nodded and said,
"The western capital of the western border is not better than here, so you should be more careful."
"Grandmother Huang, don't worry, I will definitely live well to tell you the truth about what happened back then."
