Wishful Things

Seeing the old man's confusion, the queen explained in time: "I heard that it was A Yuan who brought the girl there..."

"..."

Hearing these simple but evocative words, the Empress Dowager felt that many beautiful images of youth popped up in her mind.

——Is it because her old lady has impure thoughts and complicates the relationship between young people?

"This girl is the one whom A Yuan cares most about." The queen said with a soft smile, "Now you don't have to worry about when A Yuan will be enlightened..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up when she heard it - she really guessed it!

Living in the deep palace for a long time, the old lady who had hardly heard anything new to be happy in these years suddenly felt her heart agitated and her mind became uncontrollable.

The girl from the Xu family was so beautiful, and that child of A Yuan was very much like his mother...

God!

——The great-grandson-great-granddaughter that these two people will give her in the future will look so beautiful!

Thinking of this, yesterday she told Mother Lan that at her age, the old lady who estimated that she would have less than two years to live suddenly felt that she was doing well again.

How can two years be enough?

She still has to hug her great-grandson!

"Since the girl was dragged away by A Yuan that day, Ding Chen must have seen it too. 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 matter, He didn't know to tell Ai's family earlier? The little girl was feeling the pulse of Ai's family that day and prescribing a prescription, but Ai's family was confused and just stuffed a handful of candies... If someone The girl regards this as a meeting gift, don't you think we don't value others too much?"

The queen was a little startled.

The empress dowager is always smiling, she is calm and kind, and she speaks in a slow voice... How has she ever said such a long list in one breath?

"You said that if the little girl hadn't made up her mind and was stuffed with candies by Aijia, and then misunderstood us, wouldn't the child's good marriage be disturbed by Aijia?" The more the queen mother thought, the more she felt That sugar was given too lightly.

What kind of candy? She should put the dowry bracelet on her hand on the spot for the girl to wear!

After all, it's all my son's fault for not knowing to communicate with her earlier—these men, in such matters, are indeed all laggards.

The queen almost couldn't laugh or cry.

"You're thinking too far, too deep..." Afraid that the old man would be in a hurry, the queen hurriedly comforted her: "The future will be long, and the concubine will look at it, and the two children will be fine."

"That's why, as elders, we should help and work harder... Even if we can't do our best, we must not be a hindrance."

The Empress Dowager couldn't sit still when she said this, she was about to stand up while holding on to the side of the Arhat's bed: "The Ai family will first go to the small Buddhist hall to burn incense for the Bodhisattva..."

"It's already this time, if you want to burn incense, it's not too late until tomorrow."

"No, Ai's family can't wait. If the incense is not burned tonight, Ai's family may not be able to sleep..." The queen mother called the mother over.

The queen smiled and sighed.

She even joked that her younger siblings were too impatient, and co-authors are even more anxious here.

If her siblings and the empress dowager were brought together, these two people would only be thinking about how to marry their daughter-in-law home all day long, and they would be unable to do anything else?

However, she had never seen such an appearance as the Empress Dowager.

Presumably, when people reach their old age, it is inevitable that they will put all their minds on their children and grandchildren, and they may regard the affairs of their children and grandchildren as more important than themselves.

But this is not a heavy burden.

On the contrary, this liveliness and vitality is the best return that children give to their elders.

In fact, she is also looking at these juniors now...

What she couldn't grasp at the beginning, I hope the children can hold firmly.

With a smile in her eyes, the queen accompanied the queen mother out of the inner room.

"Empress Dowager, are you going out now?"

The palace maid Zhiyue, who just came back from outside, looked at the queen mother in the front hall and asked in surprise.

The queen mother nodded and said, "Ai's family is going to the Small Buddha Hall."

The queen mother has believed in Buddhism for many years, and there is a small Buddhist hall in this courtyard.

only--

"At this hour, why do you suddenly think of going to the Small Buddha Hall?" Zhiyue asked softly while helping the Empress Dowager by one arm.

"The Ai family suddenly thought of the late emperor..." The Queen Mother sighed softly, "I will go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow, there are so many people there, I am afraid that the late emperor can't hear the voice of the Ai family, so the Ai family wants to go to the small Buddhist hall first Talk to the late emperor alone."

So this is ah.

Zhiyue then nodded movedly, and said softly: "The servant girl will help you there."

The queen glanced up silently.

This is still the imperial mausoleum, the empress dowager dares to say such words casually...

If the former emperor had a spirit in heaven and knew that he was being used as a cover, how would he feel?

However, it turns out that the queen mother did not just casually pull the first emperor out as an excuse.

At this time, the empress dowager was alone in the Buddhist hall, facing the portrait of the former emperor, muttering in a low voice——

"You left as soon as you said you would, and left Dingchen and me with such a pile of disasters. You must have seen clearly how our mother and son have survived these years. If you still have some conscience and guilt Heart, please bless my only grandson with a smooth marriage and a family as soon as possible..."

...

The next day, it was time to go to the imperial mausoleum to offer sacrifices.

Accompanied by the officials of the Ministry of Rites and guided by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Qingming, the members of the clan and important officials of the emperor began the tedious process of sacrificial offerings at the time set by the Qin Tianjian.

Princess Jingrong and Princess Yufeng naturally went together early in the morning.

Knowing that the Empress Dowager did not happen during the sacrifice, Xu Mingyi did not follow at this time, but stayed in the palace and read medical books.

Around noon, a big bird flew in through the wide open window and landed on the chair beside her.

"How is it? Has anyone found anything abnormal or suspicious?" Xu Mingyi asked Da Niao while holding the medical book.

Early this morning, she sent Tianmu out to be a spy.

After all, this is the royal palace, no matter how clever the hidden guard is, it is not as convenient as a bird.

But it's hard to say whether this bird is reliable or not.

That's how she assigned it casually.

The big bird called out, but didn't make any movement.

This obviously means that no abnormality has been found.

Thinking of what Wu Chao had said before, that the big bird pretended to go out to work, but actually hid and slept in hiding, Xu Mingyi couldn't help looking at it suspiciously: "Have you really inspected the inside and outside of this palace?"

The big bird screamed again, straightened its chest, and looked frankly.

"Then why did you come back at lunch time, neither early nor late?"
