Ciju Nunnery.

Meng Jingshu saw that Empress Gu had the intention of living in the nunnery, so she knelt down in front of Empress Gu and said, "Queen Mother, the nunnery is bitter, you better go back to the palace earlier."

Queen Gu said, "Jue'er drank all night in the snow yesterday, and he has been hangover many times in the past year.

He had a high fever this morning, covered with red rashes, fainted and fell asleep, and Imperial Doctor Li said that if he was angry again, he would have a hangover for many years, and his liver would be unbearable, and he would only have less than two years to live.

I, as a mother, have no choice but to come to the Buddha and ask the Buddha to bless him with health and peace."

Meng Jingshu was stunned, "Queen Mother."

Queen Gu said: "What my son did, I don't have the face to let you forgive him, he is wrong, if you don't forgive him, angry with him, it is all his deserved retribution, I can only beg the Buddha and Bodhisattva, for the sake of my beloved son's heart, let him live for two more years."

Meng Jingshu looked at Queen Gu in front of her, raised her eyes to look at the snow-covered hillside outside, and clenched the Buddha beads in her hand.

Seeing that Meng Jingshu's face hadn't changed, Queen Gu sighed lightly and said, "Jingshu, can't you even pretend? Even if you still have Lu Hang in your heart, but he already has Hua Ying, with Lu Hang's temper, he can't give up Hua Ying even for the sake of responsibility.

You pretend, after Jue'er ascends the throne, you will be the queen, and then you will be the queen mother, all kinds of glory, power above tens of thousands of people.

Our women's family, especially the women in the royal harem, it is ridiculous to talk about the feelings of the husband, and when the queen mother is glorified in the future, what do you care if Zhao Jue lied to you?"

Meng Jingshu didn't expect the queen mother to say such a thing, which made His Majesty hear it, but it was a great rebellion!

Empress Gu said, "Think about it, if you don't want to go back, then the palace will accompany you here to pray for Jue'er."

Meng Jingshu sighed lightly when she saw Queen Gu on the side, "Queen Mother, there is no meat in this nunnery, I don't know if you can eat vegetarian food?"

Queen Gu said, "There is a special imperial chef in the palace who cooks vegetarian dishes, and I also eat vegetarian food every once in a while, so I am naturally used to eating."

Meng Jingshu thought about the vegetarian food in the palace, it was indeed vegetarian, the vegetarian chicken was roasted with braised meat gravy, and the boiling water cabbage had to be served with chicken, duck and ham, that is, the simple bamboo shoot soup was hung out with several old ducks.

The vegetarian food in the palace is completely different from the vegetarian food in the nunnery, and I just hope that Queen Gu can go back to the palace after eating a vegetarian meal.

Emperor Jingyuan was not idle in the past two days, and there were a lot of sacrifices as a king during the New Year, and no matter whether there were foreign officials and foreign envoys who came to pay New Year's greetings, he also needed to summon him, and he finally had time in the evening.

Emperor Jingyuan went to Empress Gu's palace, and when he entered it, he saw that it was empty, and there were a few palace maids packing up their clothes.

"What is my favorite bonsai? Do you want to take it with you?"

"Come on, this potted plant has been burning silver carbon in this palace for many years, and if it is put in the Ciju Nunnery, I am afraid that it will die of cold."

Emperor Jingyuan entered and said, "What Ciju Nunnery?"

The two little palace maids who spoke saw Emperor Jing Yuan in front of them, and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jing Yuan said coldly, "What about the queen?"

"Return, back to Your Majesty, the queen mother went to Ciju Nunnery to practice and pray for the blessings of the people of the country!"

Emperor Jingyuan said angrily: "She went to the Ciju Nunnery to pray for blessings, did she ask me? Someone, go and invite the eldest prince."

"Return, go back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is seriously ill, and he fell asleep with a high fever this morning, and the imperial doctors are still in the Prince's Mansion at this time, I am afraid that when I enter the palace, I will be infected with His Majesty."

Emperor Jing Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Go to the Great Prince's Mansion."

When Emperor Jingyuan arrived at the Great Prince's Mansion, he saw Zhao Jue lying on the bed with a pale face, and his neck and hands were full of red rashes, and he was very distressed and said, "Jue'er."

"Father."

Zhao Jue saw Emperor Jingyuan coming, and even wanted to get out of bed and salute.

Emperor Jing Yuan walked up to Zhao Jue and sat down and said, "There is no need to salute."

Emperor Jingyuan stretched

The hand probed Zhao Jue's forehead and said, "You are becoming more and more capable, you don't come to the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, and drink wine in the open air on the snowy night of the New Year, do you really want to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person again?" I don't have two sons anymore, do you want me to send another son? .

Jue'er, you are my eldest son and sister-in-law, since you were born, I have given you all the high hopes, is it really worth it for a Meng Jingshu?"

Zhao Jue stood up and said, "Dad, Jingshu is my life!"

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed helplessly: "So it is destined that you will not have a biological son to take over the throne in this life, and you are even willing?"

"Lu Wanzhi has taught the right way for the king this year."

Emperor Jing Yuan said angrily, "This is just nonsense."

"Dad, even if he can't be the emperor, there is Brother Du, and the princess in the backyard of the third brother and the fifth brother has also given birth to children one after another...... And I can't live without Jingshu."

Emperor Jing Yuan was annoyed and helpless: "I demolished you in front of Meng Jingshu that day, because I thought that after a year and a half, she couldn't forgive you, and you would give up.

Now it seems that you are getting deeper and deeper, and I am also old, and I don't want to have a son who will go before me.

Whoever you want to choose to ascend the throne in the future, whether it is Yiyi, Cheng'er, or Du'er, I am gone, and I will not be seen, so I will go with you."

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed again, looked at the red rash on Zhao Jue's body and said, "Do you remember when you were young? At that time, you also had a high fever and was covered with red rashes, and your father and your mother were fighting outside.

You are afraid that your mother will be worried, and you are afraid that I will learn that you are sick and have no intention of fighting, and you will be so itchy that you will wrap yourself tightly in the summer, for fear that someone will see your red rash.

At that time, you were only three years old, I thought that I must take the throne, even if it is for you, I must not lose, in retrospect, it was also my father who was sorry for you, at that time I just wanted you to be safe and happy in your life, but it was also me who deprived you too much.

I will personally help you persuade Meng Jingshu, but even if Meng Jingshu returns to the East Palace, you will have to rely on yourself in the future, and I don't want you to take care of your body like this anymore."

Zhao Jue's throat was sour and tight, "Yes, Daddy."

Emperor Jing Yuan said to his subordinates, "Go to Ciju Nunnery."

"Your Majesty, it's already dark."

Emperor Jing Yuan was not angry and said to himself: "It is when it is dark that you should go, do you really want the queen to spend the night on that mountain? She has never lived such a hard life since she was a child, and she will definitely not be used to eating the vegetarian food in the nunnery."

When Zhao Jue heard Emperor Jingyuan's words, he knew that it was the queen mother who went to Ciju Nunnery.

When the nunnery was having dinner, Queen Gu saw the steamed radishes, steamed taro, and a pickle made of dried mustard greens in front of her, and she only felt a secret in front of her eyes and said, "Jingshu, you eat these on weekdays? These are the things that are suitable for these two days?"

He Yi said on the side: "Imperial grandmother, this steamed radish is delicious, sweet and powdery, and steamed taro is also delicious."

Empress Gu never thought that these would be things that people eat, after all, the grooms she had to eat when she was young were much better than this.

Meng Jingshu saw Empress Gu's expression and said, "Queen Mother, in fact, for ordinary people, it is very good to be able to eat this meal."

Queen Gu stretched out her chopsticks and took a piece of steamed radish, took a bite, and said helplessly: "In order to pray for my son, I will eat it, but there is sesame oil?" It's not greasy at all, so you can't eat it."

Meng Jingshu said, "No."
