Princess Zhaoping's mood was a little delicate for a while-she felt that Yang Yunxi's temperament was too soft just now, and then she knew such a thing, which was equivalent to directly overturning her judgment. This sense of contradiction is indescribably subtle.

However, Yang Yunxi didn't think too much, and looked at Princess Zhaoping in a daze, so he reminded him: "The Queen Mother is still waiting, we have stayed for so long, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will be unhappy." ”

After saying this, she stood up with the arm of her chair, smiled and walked out. Even though she was pregnant, she still walked gracefully. The hem of the skirt, which hung almost to the ground, was slightly raised, like a waddling butterfly.

Princess Zhaoping looked at Yang Yunxi's back and suddenly exhaled heavily. Then she stood up and chased after her, and at the moment of being side by side, she said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you in this matter." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Yang Yunxi's lips, but when he spoke again, he was extremely sincere: "Thank you, sister." ”

Princess Zhaoping paused slightly, and then turned around, but her smile was as bright as a flower: "Since you call me Sister, I naturally have to be worthy of this title, right?" It's all a family, so why bother to see the outside world like this? ”

What's more, helping Yang Yunxi is also helping Zhu Li. Thinking of Zhu Li lying there motionless, his heart was slightly sad. After more than 20 years of sister-brother friendship, how can it dissipate because of a little resentment? Besides, she actually knows better than anyone else in her heart, and it's no wonder that Zhu Li is in that matter. She just has no one to vent that resentment, and she doesn't know how to face the fact that this younger brother is not her own mother, so she is so cold.

Without waiting for Yang Yunxi to say anything, Princess Zhaoping had already stepped forward and opened the door and went out first.

At this moment, Yang Yunxi looked at Princess Zhaoping's purple clothes, but he only felt that his eyes seemed to be burned, and he was slightly wet.

She blinked vigorously to dissipate all the moisture, and then walked out with a calm face.

After going out, Yang Yunxi naturally didn't stay too long, and after saying a few more words, he retired under the unhappy look on Empress Dowager Li's face.

After she left, Empress Dowager Li said with a calm face: "Now she is just a concubine, but it is bigger than the queen's shelf." In her eyes, how could there ever be a queen mother like me? ”

Princess Zhaoping didn't answer this, but she was sarcastic in her heart. Why things have become the way they are, in fact, everyone knows it. If the mother is kind to the child, then there will be no such situation. It's a pity......

"Does the queen mother really not know why?" endured for a long time, but Princess Zhaoping couldn't help but ask Empress Dowager Li such a sentence.

Empress Dowager Li was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.

"Actually, the queen mother understands it all in her heart." Princess Zhaoping exhaled, and then said so, her expression was calm and her tone was flat. Even the question is like this: "So far, Da Lang looks like this, I don't know what the queen mother thinks?" ”

Empress Dowager Li was stunned for a long time, but in the end she avoided talking about it, just closed her slightly tired eyes, and said in a dumb voice: "Zhaoping, I'm tired, you go back first." ”

Princess Zhaoping looked at Empress Dowager Li so evasively, and finally looked away and moved to a white lotus raised in a vase next to her. The white lotus was freshly picked in the morning, and the petals were still covered with dewdrops. The budding appearance, hiring Tingting looks pity.

She stretched out her hand and fiddled with it, with a hint of nonchalance: "Does the queen mother want to take Xihe back?" ”

The dew on the petals was stirred up like this, and it was trembling and rolling on the petals. It's almost rolling off the petals, and it looks like a crystal bead.

A smile appeared on Princess Zhaoping's lips, such a childish behavior made her unexpectedly find it funny.

Empress Dowager Li also opened her eyes in surprise at this time, and she also saw Princess Zhaoping's expression and movements, and she was slightly stunned for a long time. I don't know what I remembered.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Li didn't speak, and Princess Zhaoping spoke up again: "What, the queen mother is not happy?" ”

Empress Dowager Li suddenly came back to her senses, a little frightened, afraid of being discovered by Princess Zhaoping, she quickly looked away, and then said, "What did you just say?" Pick up Hee and come back? Well, why do you suddenly want to pick her up—"

Princess Zhaoping realized that Empress Dowager Li was not distracted just now because of this incident. Moreover, Empress Dowager Li obviously doesn't care much about Xihe.

Laughing at the moment, the reason given by Princess Zhaoping was short and direct: "In order to appease the Li family." Now that the court needs to balance multiple forces, although the Li family has been suppressed a lot, its strength is still there. ”

Empress Dowager Li restrained her surprise at this time, and even smiled slightly: "Yes, it should indeed be so." After a pause, he didn't seem to want to say more, but said, "Just do what you want." In the past, whether it was your imperial grandfather or your father, they all said that you were better than all princes. And now, even if it's something you've thought through, I don't have to stop it. ”

There is no position and qualification to stop it, and there is no strength to stop it.

And after going through so many things, Empress Dowager Li knew that she was already burnout. For the harem, for the people around her now, everything is burnout.

She couldn't even remember how she had ended up in such a situation.

"Queen Mother, you are seriously ill, thinking of Xihe's filial piety to you in the past, you are asking the emperor to Xihe to return to the palace. The emperor's benevolence and filial piety are in response to this. Princess Zhaoping said softly, explaining the matter first, but she was afraid that it would be time to go. In the end, she said: "Please also ask the queen mother to detain Xihe by your side when she arrives." After all, the concubine didn't like her very much. And she, thinking about it, doesn't have much respect for the concubine. It would be best if there was another incident. ”

Empress Dowager Li did not object, but responded: "Okay." ”

Princess Zhaoping didn't stay long, but said: "Queen Mother, you have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Empress Dowager Li closed her eyes, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but her tone was soft: "Okay." ”

Princess Zhaoping withdrew, and when she arrived at the door, she instructed the palace people: "Fresh lotus leaves are best for cooking porridge, and now the Queen Mother can use some of this." Remember to pick fresh lotus leaves every day. Even if you don't make porridge, you can make snacks or make tea. "If you want to say calm, lotus heart tea is the most effective. But the lotus core is too bitter, and most of them are not used to drinking.

Empress Dowager Li has always disliked things that are too bitter.

After instructing this, Princess Zhaoping really went. As everyone knows, the Empress Dowager Li heard the words clearly, and the corners of her eyes were sour, and there were crystal droplets of water falling, just like the dew drops on the lotus petals.
