Chapter 66: Empress Dowager Du's Confession
Whoosh ~
This is the sound of a skateboard rubbing against the ground.
I returned home in the vicious sun and began my most comfortable leisure time of the day. I took out a big and sweet watermelon from the well water, split it in half, sat in the shade of the yard and digged it with a small spoon, feeling the coldness in my mouth, and listening to the chirping birds and insects, it felt just one word, beautiful.
At home, Cao Wan was learning the piano with Yang Rong, and Cao Jun was holding a big stone lock and exhaling, humming and slapping his body. Because he didn't wipe his mouth clean yesterday, Lao Cao was chasing Zhang with a rolling pin all over the yard. It was really a harmonious and peaceful scene.
He was actually very tired of studying every day. Although he was already very mature in his heart, he was still a child physically. After all, he worked hard all morning and couldn't help but feel a little brain-suffering, so he fell asleep under the tree and had a nightmare. He dreamed that someone slapped himself with a big mouth, which hurt and then woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, something even more terrifying happened. Zhao Guangmei was really slapping him in the mouth.
"What are you doing? Why are you here? Why are you slapping me? Don't think that you are the three kings, I dare not hit you."
"It's okay, you can't beat me."
“…………”
"Don't sleep with Brother Yue, urgent matters, hurry up, wash your face and follow me to the palace."
"Enter the palace?"
"My mother wants to see you."
"Empress Dowager Du? Why do she want to see me? Haven't I taught the imperial chef how to make pudding?"
"Oh, I don't know what she is doing when she sees you. Come with me quickly."
Naturally, Sun Yue did not dare to neglect her clothes, and went into the palace with Zhao Guangmei in a blissful manner.
In the past few days, the old lady Du's health has become worse and worse. Apart from pudding, she can't eat almost anything and her spirit becomes increasingly depressed. The imperial doctors dare not say it clearly, but Zhao Kuangyin himself could see that it had been alive for a few days. Although he is the supreme emperor in the world, he still cannot exchange his mother's life from King Youdu.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Guangmei has almost never been here recently and has been serving the old lady in the palace.
Seeing that the old lady was about to die, she suddenly wanted to see herself, and Sun Yue was also confused in her heart.
After entering the palace, the atmosphere in the palace was very depressing. The palace maids and eunuchs all walked with their heads down, and the whole house was so quiet that it was terrible.
"Mom~Mom~, I brought Sun Yue."
Sun Yue quickly knelt down and bowed to the grand ceremony and said, "Sun Yue, the grass-roots, have seen the Queen Mother."
Before kneeling down, Sun Yue glanced at the ostentatious light. At this time, the old lady was as thin as skinny, with wrinkles on her face, and her skin was as loose as a shredded dog, but it was much worse than she thought.
"Hmm? Xiao Sunyue is here, hurry up, don't kneel down, get up quickly."
Sun Yue looked up and said, "This... there is no need for the Queen Mother, Caomin should kneel down."
What a fuck Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were both kneeling in front of the couch. Even if he borrowed the courage to go to heaven, he would not dare to stand up.
Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin was not pretentious, so he stood up first and said, "Mom, please get up, just get up."
"yes."
Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was standing up, Sun Yue stood up and asked tentatively: "This... the Empress Dowager summoned Caomin, what's the matter?"
The old empress dowager signaled Zhao Kuangyin to help him up and smiled and said, "It's nothing, but suddenly I remember that I have never seen you before. This is not good. You are good brothers with our third brother. The third brother often mentions you to me. People are brothers and they still want to go to the church to worship their mother. I thought that I would never see you again, so I will go to see King Youdu. Come, come and let me see you."
Sun Yue sighed and sighed happily when she heard this, thinking that it was something. She had been working for a long time to go to the church to worship her mother.
When he came to Empress Dowager Du, Empress Dowager Du smiled and touched Sun Yue's head, saying, "You are so handsome and tender that you are really likable. It's worth it for the rest of your life. When I go to see their father in the future, I can brag with him for a long time. His son has allowed me to become an official family."
Haha, Sun Yue doesn't know how to follow up on this conversation.
"In this life, I have given birth to five sons and two daughters, and the eldest son and the youngest son died young. I won't mention it. There are three left. I don't need to say anything about the eldest. Even the second son, I have nothing to worry about. Only this third son makes me feel most worried. He was spoiled by me since childhood. He is an incompetent and can't do anything. I just hope that he can be a free and carefree prince in his lifetime. Old son can smile with a smile. This child is pure and good by nature, but he doesn't spend any money. But his brother is a stingy person. I'm afraid that after I leave, no one will give him money. Since you are brothers, you should take care of him more in the future and let him not spend as much money as before. I know you and your father have the ability to make money. If you have any good business in the future, it will be his share. Do you know?"
Sun Yue nodded, which was of course the right thing to do. Zhao Guangmei's ability to spend money was so big that Zhao Kuangyin could tolerate him for a year was entirely because for the sake of the old lady's face, and it was estimated that this guy would become a "poor man" in the future.
The old lady smiled, her eyes flashed, and she said, "No one can tell what happened in the future. You are younger than the third brother, so you can naturally grow with him. You have to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, no matter what the world is or our Zhao family, you will keep the third brother from me. Don't let him get involved in the affairs in the court. He is not that material, okay?"
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, you can do your best and never refuse."
"Well, I have saved some money secretly over the past year. The boss doesn't know. This is what I left for the third brother. But when I think about it, this money cannot be put into the third brother's hands, otherwise he can spend it a year, and he can't put it in the boss's hands. Otherwise, there is no difference between not giving it to the boss. I'll think about it, and I'll leave it to you. If the third brother cares about you, you think you should give it to him. If you don't give it to him, don't give it to him."
After confessing, the money was still a lot, and it was actually 200,000 guan.
Sun Yue took a peek and saw that Zhao Kuangyin's already dark face was even more ugly now, as if he was an African.
"Mom, where did you get so much money? This year, I have given you not a total of 200,000 yuan."
As he said that, Zhao Kuangyin glared at Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi spread his hands innocently. He was not a corrupt official, so where did he get the 200,000 ounces?
The old Empress Du blushed, then glared at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Do you care? This is my own money? Do you think no one will give me money except you?"
As he said that, the old lady stroked Sun Yue's face gently and said, "Good boy, go, I'll leave it to you in the future."
