When she was on the carriage just now, she smelled a fragrant smell. After getting off the carriage, she didn't notice the paper bag in Lian Che's hand. It turned out that he had prepared a gift.
Are the steamed stuffed buns with plain fillings because the queen believes in Buddhism?
She thought he hadn't prepared anything, but it turned out that he carefully prepared his mother's favorite snack.
Ling Beibei also noticed that when talking to the queen, there was a smile on Lian Che's face.
Although she couldn't see it, she could tell from his words that he was not in a bad mood.
Hearing this, the queen's slightly pale face showed a smile.
There were a few more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
However, that smile is extremely comfortable to watch.
Ling Beibei was not in a daze now, but quickly squatted down, put the sketchbook between her legs, and started drawing.
That smile just now... was very beautiful. Although she lost her youth, it still gave people a kind of beauty that had accumulated over time. The only shortcoming was that her appearance looked too vicissitudes of life...
"I haven't been here for a while. Mom has missed you a little. I wonder what you have been busy with recently..." After the smile passed, all that was left was sadness.
Lian Che didn't say anything, just took the bamboo stick in the paper bag, picked a small bun, and placed it on the queen's lips.
Although the queen couldn't see it, she felt something on her lips, so she opened her lips and took the small bun into her mouth.
"Auntie, the prince must be busy helping the emperor with state affairs, so he doesn't have time to come here. No, last night I heard from the little eunuch next to the emperor that the emperor gave the prince another errand, saying that it would be done tomorrow.
We are going on a long journey. Your Majesty must have wanted to come and see you before leaving." Seeing that Lian Che didn't answer, the girl in blue on the side began to explain.
Ling Beibei on the side stopped painting, aunt? No wonder, she just thought that this girl didn't look like a maid, she turned out to be the Queen Mother's niece.
However, she knew quite a lot. She didn't even know that Lian Che was going on a long trip tomorrow!
Yes, she is just an insignificant person. How could anyone casually tell her about this important national matter?
It would be nice for Lian Che to travel far away, that way, she would be freer...
When the girl in blue said this, the queen smiled at first, but finally sighed: "Your father..." She just said these three words, and then she didn't continue.
Ling Beibei only felt that she should have wanted to ask something, but in the end she still didn't want to ask. It was because she was disappointed or frustrated...
After that, Lian Che tried his best to keep a smile on his face, but Ling Beibei still felt that his smile seemed not as genuine as it was at the beginning, a bit fake...
In the end, Lian Che ended this brief mother-son reunion on the grounds that he would be on his way tomorrow.
Ling Beibei's sketch was almost done. She put the sketch away and followed Lian Che out of the queen's palace.
"When I get back, I'll draw a big one and add some colors." As soon as they came out, Ling Beibei said to Lian Che confidently.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another gust of wind, carrying a refreshing fragrance.
Still the scent of osmanthus.
The first time she smelled it, Ling Beibei was sure. The second time she smelled it, she was even more sure that it was osmanthus.
Ling Beibei took a peek at Lian Che, and the smile disappeared from her beautiful face, leaving no unnecessary expression...
