The guard came to the Fengyu Pavilion and told Haiyin. Haiyin then bent over and came to the empress and reported: "The empress dowager over there has prepared a meal for the empress's birthday. The dishes are cold and hot again.
It's been a few times. Now the old lady is dragging her sick body and waiting in the snow outside Kunning Palace. She has been waiting for an hour. I don't know the whereabouts of the queen. It is said that Jixiang heard from Ziyuan that Ziyuan asked the empress to come to Fengyu Pavilion today.
Song Ning, I just tried my luck to find him."
When Di Qian'ao heard his mother waiting in the snow, he lowered his eyes. He clenched his hands and tugged at the center of his brows in discomfort.
Luo Changan saw his frown in his eyes, and before he could say anything, she took out her arms from his arms and said, "Go, let's have a lively birthday. The queen mother and sisters have been waiting for a long time."
"Luo Chang'an, if you don't want to go, we won't go." Di Qianao said, his eyes turned red, old mother...she is seriously ill. When she gets better, I will go again, she may be
I can hold on longer. When I see her, I can't treat her kindly. In fact, I don't want to see her. Mother and son are turning against each other, which is not a good situation.
Luo Changan took his hand and said, "I'm willing to go. I'm willing to go. They must have prepared a lot of gifts for me. I like receiving gifts the most. You should also go and see her. I have a bad memory and I forget things in the past.
That's almost it. Don't get red-eyed, please."
Fengyu Pavilion is half a tea walk away from Kunning Palace. Di Qianao held an umbrella to cover the snow for his beloved wife. When he came to the palace entrance to Kunning Palace, he saw the Empress Dowager Jiaoji's concubine standing in the distance with her arms.
In the wind and snow, he stretched his neck anxiously and looked at the intersection, obviously losing a lot of weight.
In the night, the Queen Mother saw a lantern lighting up at the intersection from a distance. She hurriedly said: "Ziyuan, run over and see if Chang'an is coming?"
Zi Yuan trotted over with a lantern in hand. When she got closer, she saw that the Emperor and the Empress had arrived. After bowing, she ran back to the Empress Dowager with the lantern in hand and said, "The Empress is here, and the Emperor is also here."
The Queen Mother was relieved, and she went forward to meet him. When she came close, she squeezed Luo Changan's hand and said, "My son, I'm afraid the soup will be cold."
Come on. Come into the palace. Jixiang, tell people to heat up the food quickly."
Luo Changan was startled. The Queen Mother's sudden closeness made her feel uncomfortable. She did not break away for the sake of the emperor.
"Hey, okay, empress!" Jixiang said, and ordered someone to heat up the meal.
Di Qian'ao looked at the Queen Mother with cold eyes and saw that her usually proud face was already haggard. Her body, which had been well maintained, was now much thinner. He didn't say much. He came to see if the Queen Mother had changed.
The Queen Mother also looked at Emperor Qian Ao. After Zi Ao'er threw Song Ning to her and overturned her Buddhist niche, this was the first time the mother and son met. The Queen Mother first smiled lovingly and said: "Jiao Jixiang went to Chang'an several times, and today
On her birthday, the Ai family wanted to make it more lively for her. It turned out that she went to Fengyu Pavilion. No wonder Jixiang couldn't find it."
Wind and Rain Pavilion.
That's where the front hall is.
The queen went, but it was not in line with etiquette.
Although the Queen Mother thought so, she did not say it clearly. The relationship between mother, son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was tense and could not be discussed.
Luo Changan lowered his head. She understood what the Queen Mother meant.
Di Qianao sneered and said, "I told her to go to the Wind and Rain Pavilion."
"Ai Jia has no other intentions, I'm just afraid that the thorny road will sting my feet." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Di Qianao deliberately protected her: "I carried her through the thorny road."
The Queen Mother was startled, and she carried Chang An through the thorny road in front of all the officials, Ao'er! Although the Queen Mother felt that the emperor did not care about decency, she did not have a direct conflict. After all, she had not seen her son for many days and missed her son very much.
I made your favorite cabbage and meatball soup with my own hands. You loved eating this when you were a child. Come in and try it."
The Queen Mother said, and then ordered: "Qingman, take some Chang'an with you. She is pregnant and the ground is slippery in the snow."
Qingman then helped Luo Changan and said, "Madam, please walk slowly. Just now, the minister's office told me that Xinruan has moved to the dragon bed. From now on, Qingman will take good care of you."
As he said that, he quickly glanced at the emperor, his cheeks flushed.
Luo Changan said: "Okay."
Di Qianao slowed down his steps and avoided Qingman, a look of disgust crossed his eyebrows.
Everyone entered the palace and sat down, and the palace servants laid out the dishes.
Emperor Qianao sat alone in front of the Lord.
The Queen Mother, the Queen and the concubines are dining with their Highness.
The Queen Mother held Luo Changan's hand and said, "We haven't had a meal together for a long time. Today is your birthday. The Ai family is lending this dinner to invite you to come and make amends to you. I have wronged you for so many years. Qing
The matter of Ling, the matter of the baby hairpin, and the Ai family...can't be said to be completely unrelated. During the Ai family's chat, Jiao Qingling took advantage of the loophole. Chang'an, the Ai family hopes that it's just for Ao'er. You can put aside your past grudges and let go.
Regarding grudges, peace is the most important thing, okay? He is busy every day, and the affairs of our harem cannot continue to distract him."
Luo Changan felt quite bitter in his heart. The Emperor's eyes came to him. Luo Changan then curved his eyebrows into crescent moons and said with a smile: "Okay. Queen Mother. For the sake of the Emperor, peace is the most precious thing."
The Queen Mother hugged Luo Changan in her arms and called out lovingly: "My son. My son."
Luo Changan was hugged by her, her first child was taken away from her, Yongle'er had a miscarriage due to kneeling on a futon, the boat was in a fire, and the death of Aunt Mei came to her mind, and she clutched her hands tightly under her sleeves.
There was no warmth at all, only hypocrisy. The hypocrisy was so hypocritical that it made Luo Changan want to cry loudly. She arched her eyebrows and said: "Mother, mother..."
Di Qianao's alienated eyes glanced at the two most important women in his life. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Why is the emperor's home so lacking in humanity? That is my mother. I don't even know her. He began
Drink on an empty stomach, one drink after another.
"Chang'an, try this cabbage and meatball soup. Ao'er had no appetite when he was a child, so the Ai family made this meatball soup for him. This is a newly slaughtered calf. Take the beef shank and cut it with the back of a knife.
The beef is pureed, made into fillings, and rolled into meatballs in hot water. They are very fresh." The Queen Mother served the soup to Luo Changan with her own hands.
Luo Changan tasted the taste of the emperor's childhood. The taste was very astringent. Maybe she was in a bad mood and couldn't taste the essence. She couldn't tell the truth anymore, "It's very fresh. It tastes good."
The Queen Mother personally brought a lot of vegetables for Luo Chang'an, "Eat vegetables, Chang'an. You have to take care of yourself and eat more. Chang'an, can the Ai family meet Jinhe and Jinfeng?"
It has been four months since Luo Changan came down from Phoenix Terrace to pick up the child from Kunning Palace. The Queen Mother has not seen a pair of grandchildren for four months. She chuckled and said: "Of course it is possible. The next year
We're almost there, I'll bring them both to wish you a happy New Year."
The Queen Mother's heart ached, as there were still three months left before the Chinese New Year.
The Queen Mother expressed concern: "Chang'an, who will take care of your pregnancy?"
Luo Changan chuckled and said: "You have taken Qingman into the house to take care of me and the emperor. There are still so many maids. Don't worry."
The Queen Mother patted the back of her hand and said, "Aunt Mei is gone. You don't have any old people to use. Let Ziyuan use it for you. It turns out that Ziyuan is yours. I listened to your words and helped Song Ning a lot. The Ai family won't keep her anymore. You
After all, Chang'an has grown up and become more tolerant. The Aijia can't say anything. I'm very happy that you understand the Aijia's hard work."
"Zi Yuan, okay." Luo Chang'an was almost in tears. The room was full of concubines, wishing me a happy birthday. "In the past, I didn't need your teachings, but now Chang'an understands that peace is the most precious thing."
Kang Meng gouged out Qingman's eyes.
Qingman just lowered his head and rubbed Luo Changan's shoulders behind her. He was about to sleep in the dragon's bed at night. The emperor drank wine and the queen was pregnant and it was inconvenient to take care of her. Staying up late was harmful to her health. I will do my best. The queen treats me with kindness.
Like a mountain.
The Queen Mother solemnly ordered the concubines: "Today is the Queen's birthday. Please take out all the gifts you have prepared. Kang Meng, didn't you prepare a dance to dedicate to the Queen? Go ahead and make it lively. Today we are going to
And beautiful.”
Luo Changan's heart palpitations became more and more intense, day!
The drums started.
Kang Meng came to the palace with Luo Shan, carefully and shyly looked at the emperor who was sitting on the table drinking alone, and then danced gently to the dance music, would the emperor step down the golden steps for me! Back then, the emperor did it for Song Dynasty.
Stepping down the golden steps in a calm manner, will you also be amazed by my dance?
Luo Changan cupped her chin and looked at the dance music Kang Meng had prepared for her. Forget it, she knew very well that it was a dance music prepared for the emperor. She still curled her eyebrows and eyes, as if she was intoxicated by the dance music, "Sister today."
Very good at dancing."
Accompanied by dance music, the concubines began to give gifts to the queen.
Yu Lian said: "My dearest lady, I give you a handful of Ruyi jade. I wish you good luck every year and all the best every year."
Luo Changan took Yu Ruyi away, touched Yu Lian's cheek and said: "Be good. I am Ruyi, Ruyi."
Qingman presented the gift and said, "Madam, these are the sleeves I embroidered myself. It's cold, so your hands will not be cold if you wear these sleeves."
Luo Changan touched Qingman's cheek equally and said, "Be good. Be good."
Then, Luo Changan received many gifts, including jade pendants, fox fur cotton hats, buckwheat pillows, and calligraphy and paintings. She received seventy-two gifts from seventy-two little girls. Her eyebrows were as crescent as the crescent moon.
Yes, the tail of her lips was also curved upward, her heart seemed to be bleeding, and her pregnant belly was aching.
The emperor was still drinking wine in his cup. He was watching Luo Changan being crowned by all the concubines. She kept smiling with him like a good old man. He was extremely angry at the harem that Yan Feng had raised. He drank a lot of wine and was drunk...
