Seeing the old man's confusion, the queen promptly explained: "I heard that A Yuan took the girl with him..."
"..."
Hearing this simple but evocative sentence, the Queen Mother felt that many beautiful images of youth suddenly popped up in her mind.
——Is it because her old wife has impure thoughts and makes the relationship between young people complicated?
"This girl is the one A Yuan cares about right now." The Queen smiled softly and said, "You don't have to worry about how long it will take to follow A Yuan..."
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up when she heard this - she really didn't even guess it!
The old Queen Mother, who had lived in the palace for a long time and had hardly heard anything new and exciting over the years, suddenly felt her heart agitated and her brain uncontrollable.
The Xu family girl was so beautiful, and A Yuan's child also looked very much like his mother...
God!
——The great-grandson daughter these two people will give her in the future will look like!
Thinking of this, the old lady who told Aunt Lan yesterday that at her age, she probably didn't have more than two years to live, suddenly felt that she could do it again.
How is two years enough?
She also got to hold her great-grandson!
"Since Miss Riren was dragged away by A Yuan, Dingchen must have seen it. Could it be that he couldn't see anything?" The Queen Mother came back to her senses and began to blame her son: "Such an important thing,
He didn't even know to tell the Ai family in advance
Sheng'er? That day, the little girl pressed Aijia's shoulder to feel his pulse and prescribe prescriptions. However, Aijia was so confused that he just stuffed a handful of candies in... If the girl regarded this as a greeting gift, how could it be possible?
Don’t you think we don’t value others too much?”
The Queen was a little shocked when she heard this.
The Queen Mother always has a smile, is calm and kind, and speaks slowly and softly... How has she ever said such a long list in one breath?
"You said that if the little girl hasn't made up her mind yet and is stuffed with candy by the Ai family, and misunderstands our intentions, won't the child's good marriage be disturbed by the Ai family?" The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more she felt.
That's giving the candy too lightly.
What kind of candy are you giving? She should put the dowry bracelet on her hand on the girl on the spot!
After all, it was all her son's fault for not knowing to talk to her in advance - these men were indeed a laggard in matters like this.
The Queen was almost dumbfounded when she heard this.
"You are thinking too far and too deeply..." Afraid that the old man would act in a hurry again, the queen hurriedly comforted her and said: "The days are long, I will watch, and the two children will be fine."
"That's why we, as elders, should help and work harder at the back... Even if we can't work hard, we must not be a disservice."
When the Queen Mother said this, she could no longer sit still. She held on to the arhat bedside and stood up: "The Ai family will first go to the small Buddhist hall to burn incense for the Bodhisattva..."
"It's already this hour. If you want to burn incense, it's not too late to wait until tomorrow."
"No, the Ai family can't wait. If the incense is not burned tonight, the Ai family may not be able to sleep..." The queen mother said, and called her mother over.
The queen smiled and sighed.
She originally laughed at her sister-in-law for being too impatient, but now she is even more impatient.
If her sister-in-law and the Queen Mother were brought together, the two of them would only be thinking about how to bring their daughter-in-law home, and would be unable to do anything else?
However, she had never seen the Queen Mother look like this.
It seems that when people reach their old age, they will inevitably put their thoughts on their children and grandchildren, fearing that their affairs may be more important than themselves.
But this is not a heavy burden.
On the contrary, this liveliness and vitality are the best rewards children can give to their elders.
In fact, she is also looking at these juniors now...
I wish the children could hold on to what she couldn't hold on to at the beginning.
With a smile in her eyes, the Queen accompanied the Queen Mother out of the inner room.
"The Queen Mother, are you going out now?"
The eldest palace maid Zhiyue, who had just come back from outside, looked at the Queen Mother who had put on her coat in the front hall, and couldn't help but asked in surprise.
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "The Ai family is going to the small Buddhist hall."
The Queen Mother has been a Buddhist for many years, so there is a small Buddhist hall in this courtyard.
only--
"Why did you suddenly think of going to the Little Buddha Hall at this hour?" Zhiyue asked softly while supporting one of the Queen Mother's arms.
"The Aijia just suddenly thought of the late emperor..." The Queen Mother sighed softly, "I'm going to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow. There are so many people there, I'm afraid the late emperor can't hear the voice of the Aijia, so the Aijia want to go to the small Buddhist hall first
Let’s talk to the late emperor alone.”
So that’s it.
Zhiyue then nodded with emotion and said softly: "The maid will help you over."
The queen silently glanced above.
This is still the imperial mausoleum, and the Queen Mother dares to say such words casually...
If the late emperor had a spirit in heaven and knew that he was being used as a cover, how would he feel?
However, the facts proved that the Queen Mother did not just pull the late Emperor out as an excuse.
At this time, the Queen Mother was alone in the Buddhist hall, facing the portrait of the late Emperor, muttering in a low voice——
"You left as soon as you said you were leaving, leaving Dingchen and I with such a lot of trouble. You must have seen clearly how our mother and son have survived these years. If you still have some conscience and guilt,
I wish my only grandson a smooth marriage and a family as soon as possible..."
…
The next day was the time to go to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices.
Emperor Qingming, together with members of the royal family and important officials of the imperial family, accompanied and guided by officials from the Ministry of Rites, began the tedious sacrificial process at the time set by the Qintian Prison.
Princess Jingrong and Princess Yufeng naturally went together early in the morning.
Knowing that the Queen Mother's accident did not happen during the sacrifice, Xu Mingyi did not follow her at this time, but stayed in the palace and read medical books.
Around noon, a big bird flew in from the wide open window and landed on the chair next to her.
"How is it? Have you found any abnormalities or anyone suspicious?" Xu Mingyi asked Da Niao holding the medical book.
Early this morning, she sent her third eye out as a spy.
After all, this is a royal palace, and no matter how clever the secret guard is, nothing can be done more conveniently than a bird.
But it’s hard to say whether this bird is reliable or not.
She just made the assignment casually.
The big bird screamed but did not make any move.
This obviously means that no abnormality was found.
Thinking of what Wu Chao had mentioned before, about Big Bird pretending to go out to work but actually hiding and sleeping, Xu Mingyi couldn't help but look at it with some suspicion: "Have you seriously inspected both the inside and outside of this palace?"
The big bird called again, straightened its chest, and looked candidly.
"Then why did you come back at lunch time instead of early or late?"
