Chapter 449 Farewell

Author: Feng Chuxiao

The small Buddhist hall in Renshou Palace is full of incense.

On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Queen Mother would put the scriptures copied by herself into the incense burner and burn them to her relatives in another world.

When Lu Sheige came, the Queen Mother was still in the small Buddhist hall and had not come out.

The nanny who was serving the Queen Mother wanted to go in and ask the Queen Mother to come out, but Lu Xige stopped her: "Mommy, there is no need to disturb the Queen Mother, I will just wait."

The emperor wanted to wait, and the nanny did not dare to go in to invite the queen mother, so she could only retreat with the maid serving tea.

Renshou Palace was the residence of the empress dowagers of the past dynasties. It was built with splendor and splendor, exuding a sense of luxury and grandeur. Only the small Buddhist hall where the empress dowagers were located only had a few tablets and a soft cushion for kneeling.

The Queen Mother knelt on the soft cushion and recited sutras silently. There was still half a volume of today's sutras. She would not get up until she could finish chanting this half volume.

Lu Sheige stood at the door of the small Buddhist hall and looked at the Queen Mother kneeling on the cushion.

The Queen Mother was only in her fifties, but her hair was already gray. She was dressed in plain clothes and a long dress. Her hair was pulled up in a loose bun, with only a lotus hairpin inserted.

Lu Sheige had seen such a silver hairpin on his mother's head. On the night when Lujiazhuang was burned, he was sent to Qingfeng Village and fell into the hands of Song Yunfei's own mother. It is now worn on the head of the Queen Mother.

Seeing the silver hairpin of the Queen Mother, Lu Shenge discovered that the long plain dress worn by the Queen Mother seemed to be the style from more than ten years ago.

These must have been the clothes she wore as a girl when she was young. Every time she entered the small Buddhist hall, she would wear them, as if in this way she could be a clean member of the Shen family.

After sniffing, Lu Sheige walked to the Queen Mother, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

The Queen Mother paused in her chanting, turned her head and glanced at Lu Shege who was kneeling beside her, then turned back and continued to recite her own scriptures.

After half a volume of sutras had been read, the Queen Mother looked at Lu Xiangge who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Does your knee hurt?"

There is no soft cushion, how can it not hurt?

But Lu Xiangge only knelt down half a volume of sutras, and my aunt, who read a volume of sutras every morning and evening, would still feel pain in her knees even if she knelt on a soft cushion.

Lu Xiangge raised his hand to help the Queen Mother stand up, and said: "It doesn't hurt."

"laugh."

The Queen Mother chuckled lightly and helped Lu Shengge stand up, "If it doesn't hurt, just kneel down for a while and see if it hurts."

Lu Sheige hurriedly held the Queen Mother's arm and walked back: "Then I won't kneel, I'm afraid my aunt will feel distressed."

"You."

The Queen Mother patted Lu Shege's hand and said, "Are you ready to leave? Not coming back?"

"Ready to leave."

Lu Sheige's eyes moved slightly, and he sat down next to the Queen Mother and said, "As for whether I can come back or not, to be honest, I don't know."

"I'm getting old too, and I don't have many years left to live, so I won't let you worry about me anymore." The Queen Mother raised her hand to lift up the broken hair on Lu Shengge's temples, "But can you let go of your two children, Xing'er and Ming'er?"

"I can even let go of my aunt, so why can't I let go of my two children?"

Lu Xiangge put one hand on the armrest of the chair, approached the Queen Mother and asked softly, "Aunt, do you want to come with me? I will take you to see the great rivers and mountains. Then find a quiet and rich place to live in seclusion, okay?"

"not good."

The Queen Mother shook her head, "It's not good for me to be the Queen Mother. Why should I follow you and become a powerless old lady? No matter how rich and quiet the place you choose is, can you still feel comfortable and quiet in this palace?"

This palace is a truly comfortable and quiet place.

Lu Sheige still wanted to persuade her, but the Queen Mother raised her hand to signal her to stop talking, and called the nanny who had been waiting for her to come in.

"Bring me my rosewood dressing box."

The rosewood dressing box was carved by Lu Sheige when he had nothing to do in the palace. The carving was a bit rough, but fortunately it was polished carefully and it felt warm and smooth to the touch.

The Queen Mother pushed the rosewood dressing box in front of Lu Shege: "This is for you, take it away."

Lu Sheige didn't know what was in the box, so she subconsciously wanted to open it and take a look.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and held it down: "Don't look at it. Wait until you leave the palace and look at it slowly."

Not showing it?

Lu Xiangge picked up the box and hugged it in his arms: "Then I'll really take it. Don't give me all your pension money when the time comes, and leave nothing good for your grandchildren."

The Queen Mother waved her hand tiredly: "Let's go, the Ai family won't keep you."

There was no warning and no stay.

Lu Xiangge held the jewelry box and turned back step by step. When she was leaving the palace door, she turned around and looked back.

The Queen Mother sat alone on a chair. The beauty and prosperity around her made her feel even more lonely.

Lu Sheige felt a pain in his heart. He ran back a few steps with the box in his arms, knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and kowtowed three times.

After she left, her aunt was the only one in the palace. From then on, no one cared about whether her clothes were warm or not, and no one asked if she had a good night's sleep. Xing'er and Ming'er have their own mothers, and they will also have their own children. Who

Would you still care about an old lady in a deep palace, whether she is doing well, whether there is anyone to talk to, and whether anyone misses her?

Lu Shengge walked a few steps, hugged the Queen Mother's legs and cried: "Aunt, can you go with Shege? I will take you to the south to enjoy flowers, to the north to see the snow, and to buy two pieces of land in the countryside to grow vegetables and raise chickens. Wait.

Xiang Ge has found his rightful husband, and my aunt will help Xiang Ge take care of the children, okay?"

"Hey!"

The Queen Mother touched Lu Shengge's head with tears in her eyes, "Go, don't come back. My aunt knows you are right. If you leave now, you will be their good father and aunt. If you don't leave, the Queen will suspect that you are relying on

these years

I want to repay my kindness. If she is any worse, maybe your aunt and nephew will become enemies in the end. Xiang Ge, you are worthy of anyone except yourself. After you leave, be kind to yourself.

point."

"Didn't she already suspect it?"

Lu Sheige knelt straight and rested his head gently on the Queen Mother's knees, "Aunt, I didn't leave because the Queen doubted me. It was because the career was big and the country should be handed over to him. One day,

He knows that his father, who has been with him for ten years, is his aunt, and maybe he will be grateful and miss me. But if I stay in the capital, it will only make him afraid."

yes!

If Xi Ge were not so good and managed this great business empire so well, she would not be feared by others because of her talents and would be able to stay in the capital. If you want to enter the palace, you can enter the palace. If you don't want to, you can enter the palace.

It would be great to be her eldest princess.

It's a pity that Xiang Ge is so outstanding that even if the prince was taught by her, it would be difficult to replicate her skills.

"Let's go."

The Queen Mother sighed lowly, "My aunt must live well. When you want to come back, come back and see her."

"good."

Lu Sheige stood up and strode out with the jewelry box in her arms. This time, she did not look back.

After a long time, Mammy walked in softly and said: "The Queen Mother, I saw the Emperor kowtow to you outside the palace gate, and his forehead was red and swollen."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but raise her sleeves to cover her face to block the rolling tears.
