The lotus pods are hidden among the petals, and several flowers have fallen away, leaving only the lonely lotus pods standing among them.
I sighed, pointed my toes, picked out the ripe lotus pods, and peeled them off one by one.
"Empress..." The old voice behind me shocked me.
I stood up hastily and looked at the old man who was staggering towards me.
Every time I see him in court, there is no difference, but tonight I feel that he is particularly old. Is it because I haven't exchanged souls with Xia Yan for a long time?
A large group of people followed the Grand Master, presumably to escort him home, but he didn't expect that his Alzheimer's disease was so severe that he wandered to this place.
"You all, get down." Pang Xiu pointed randomly.
The guards standing behind him were almost used to it: "Yes."
After the person left, I quickly went to help him: "Slow down."
"The bones haven't fallen apart yet, hahaha." As soon as Pang Xiu finished boasting, the sole of his foot suddenly slipped. If I hadn't stopped him, this guy would have fallen down hard.
After helping him to stand in Taiye Pond, Pang Xiu touched his chest-high beard and sighed: "The night is so beautiful tonight. It seems that the empress has discovered the most beautiful place in the entire palace."
I was stunned: "No way."
"Haha, the palace is too rich and noble. Once something reaches its extreme, it will make people disgusted, especially if it is hand-carved. No matter how powerful the craftsman is, he can't carve the beauty given by nature. Moreover, this lotus was given to the Supreme Emperor by me back then.
Birthday gift."
I took a deep breath and quickly threw the remaining lotus pods into the lake unprepared.
Although I don't know if Pang Xiu's eyes are really bad, at least with my speed, it is more than enough to hide this from this nearly eighty-year-old man.
"Mother, are the lotus seeds delicious?" Pang Xiu looked at me with a smile.
My face turned a little red. I threw it so fast, but it was still seen.
"Uh... delicious."
"Hehehe, you are tired of eating delicious food. Do you want to eat something light to satisfy your craving?"
"No, I...I am upset."
"Let's talk about it."
I looked at the kind-faced Grand Master, and my heart moved slightly: "Oh, I may be the worst among the queens of the Xia Kingdom. Not only can I not share the burden for Xia Yan, but I always cause trouble for him. The biggest trouble now..." I am sad.
Looked at him: "If I don't buy a prince for your Majesty, even if the ministers and your Majesty don't mind, I will stay here without shame."
Pang Xiu pondered for a while, then stretched out his crutch and pointed at the lotus in the pool: "Look at the lotus in this pool. It will bloom naturally when the time comes. It is impossible for lotus to bloom in winter, just like plum blossoms will not bloom in summer."
, Yesterday is fleeting, the future cannot be predicted, and troubles are just empty troubles. Grasping the present is the most important thing, so we must live in the present and don’t worry about those invisible troubles. My queen, don’t you
Do you think the king is happier than before? If the king listens to their advice and enriches the Sixth Palace, even if he has children, he will not be much happier than he is now."
I blinked my eyes, feeling a little sour: "How do you know?"
Pang Xiu laughed: "Only by using your heart can you see the essence of things. What is truly important cannot be seen with your eyes alone."
