Princess Sangyun felt unspeakably depressed and frustrated.
Why does this Wu Shisun seem to have a particularly difficult temperament?
Or is it that the children of aristocratic families have their eyes set higher than the top, so they all reject others from thousands of miles away?
Thinking about it, if she took the initiative to talk to a man in Michigan, the other man would not know how to be happy and complacent. How could he treat her so coldly?
But even after arriving, there was no possibility of turning around and leaving. Princess Sangyun and the Queen paid their respects, sat for a while, drank a cup of honey tea, and then left.
"Your Majesty, are we going to the Queen Mother's place?" Aunt Jiang asked softly when there was no one else in the room.
"A Yuan has just left. If I rush there, I might make people feel strange." The queen said thoughtfully, "Don't be in a hurry. It won't be too late to go there later."
Aunt Jiang nodded in agreement.
After the queen had slept for half an hour, when she opened her eyes, the window was already pitch black.
"Your Majesty has been here...I heard that the empress was asleep, so I didn't ask anyone to wake her up." The maid said softly while dressing the empress.
Another palace maid smiled and echoed: "Your Majesty has always been so considerate to our queen."
"Has Your Majesty actually been here?" The queen's tone was full of surprise.
——Of course she knew that the emperor had been here. After all, his voice was not too low when he told her not to wake her up. It was difficult for her not to be awakened as she had always been a light sleeper.
But the show still has to be done. If she wakes up at that time, wouldn't it make things difficult for both parties? This is really unnecessary.
After the Queen was properly dressed, she went to the Queen Mother's office.
At this time, it was a lively time for the Queen Mother.
Concubine Sun, Concubine Rong and several other princesses are all there.
Everyone gathered around and talked, until the Queen Mother covered her mouth and yawned, then Mrs. Sun stood up with a smile and took the lead to leave.
Immediately, several princesses also left one after another.
Concubine Rong went alone.
Today she is wearing a silver-red cloak with jade buttons, a peach-blossom bun, and a rose on her temples, which makes her pink face and peach cheeks even more attractive, making her look naturally charming.
"Shuo'er has been crying non-stop today, and my ears hurt from the noise. It's still early, and I want to walk around for some peace and quiet." Concubine Rong said in a calm tone.
The confidant nanny heard this and whispered: "Because the little prince is crying today, I am afraid that your majesty will come over later. If you see the empress is not there by then, you may be unhappy..."
Concubine Rong said disapprovingly: "Then I came to the Queen Mother and wanted to take a walk when I came back, so I just walked a little slower. Could it be that the emperor still blames me for trivial matters?"
Seeing that she had made up her mind, although grandma felt uneasy, she couldn't persuade her any more.
Concubine Rong looked at the crescent moon above her head, held the flowers on her temples, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
…
After everyone left, the Queen talked to the Queen Mother alone about the arrangements for tomorrow's sacrifice.
At this time, a palace maid came and asked the eldest palace maid Zhiyue for instructions on matters in the courtyard. Zhiyue bowed her knees and bowed before retreating.
Aunt Lan gently lowered the bamboo curtain and stood by the curtain herself.
The queen then whispered: "A Yuan went to my concubine today and said a few words to me... I wanted you to remind me that you must pay more attention to things around you in this palace these days.
, just in case someone takes the opportunity to do something bad to you."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised.
What surprised her was not this sentence, but——
"Does this child... already know?" She looked at the queen and asked.
The queen nodded lightly: "I understand."
The Queen Mother also nodded, sighing with emotion in her smiling eyes: "This time, father and son can meet and recognize each other. For the Ai family, it is considered complete..."
It’s been eighteen years, it’s not easy.
And no wonder she seemed to be in a very good mood after seeing her son these past few days - why didn't she find a chance to tell her about this?
"How did this child... react?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but ask: "Is it no wonder we kept hiding it from him?"
"A Yuan has always understood the overall situation and the importance of it, and he has a good mind. Even if he can't accept it in his heart for a while, he will slowly calm down in the future." The queen said in a low voice, smiling: "This time he specifically asked me to let my concubine.
I came to remind you that I already treat you as my grandmother."
Grandma...
The Queen Mother laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared, and her grandson knew that she was his grandmother.
"The Ai family really wants to thank you, Prince Dingnan..." The Queen Mother said with a smile: "The children are obviously the children of our two families, but it has only been your family's trouble all these years."
"Since you said he is the child of our two families, why should we divide the children and who should bother more? What's more, if it weren't for you, who could have saved A Yuan." At this point, I recalled the child who died young.
Eldest sister, the smile in the Queen's eyes is much more complex.
If Sister A were still here, she would definitely be very happy to see A Yuan like this.
"Since this child asked you to remind the Ai family to be more careful, did you explain the reason? Or, who did he ask the Ai family to pay attention to?"
The queen shook her head lightly: "That's not true."
The Queen Mother said "tsk": "These father and son are really exactly the same..."
Immediately he said: "Dingchen also warned the Ai family to be careful two days ago, but he never explained what exactly happened. It's a blur and has no beginning or end."
This is of course a huge misunderstanding——
The reason why Wu Chao did not say it clearly was because he was really not sure what was going to happen.
As for King Yan, he was even more unjust.
His son didn't tell him why, so how could he know why? To be honest, he was too confused.
But now that my son has spoken, no matter how confused I am, I can only do as I am told - after all, I haven't coaxed him to say "Dad" yet, so his attitude must be correct.
"Ignore them, I think they have their reasons." The Queen Mother picked up the tea cup on the side and said with a smile: "Anyway, whatever they say, the Ai family will do it."
At her age, she can't do much to help her children and grandchildren, but she can still do it by being obedient and not holding back.
"By the way, there is one more thing, I thought, I still want to tell you..." The queen said with a smile: "A Yuan's life experience, in addition to our family, there is another little girl who has also passed away.
Got it."
This is what her sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, just found the opportunity to tell her yesterday.
But she always felt that her sister-in-law's appearance was not so much that she wanted to tell her that one more person knew the secret, but more that she wanted to find someone to talk to about her eagerness to "really want to marry someone home as soon as possible and be her daughter-in-law."
…
"Little girl?" The Queen Mother asked: "Which girl?"
"The one you just met - the girl Xu who took your pulse two days ago."
The Queen Mother was surprised: "The granddaughter of General Xu's family?"
That little girl who is particularly good-looking and feels very comfortable when pressed on her shoulders?
But how could this matter reach the ears of this girl?
