Chang Anqing

Chapter 213
The surrounding area was lonely, and when he saw the always gentle elder sister looking at her red-eyed, with hesitation and disbelief written in her homely and timid eyes, Li Sui felt that his heart was being pulled and hurt.It is the most natural thing in the world for a mother to visit her child, but now it has become a luxury, and such a ridiculous thing happened to the mother of the country who is admired and envied by thousands of people.

Elder sister has given all the gentleness in the world in her life.

But what did this world give her?
Sensing Empress Yang's involuntary trembling hand, Li Sui seemed to inject courage into her, and naturally and firmly reached out to hold it. Empress Yang's eyes fluttered for this slight touch, and she happened to see Li Suihui's firmness and kindness in the eyes. peace of mind.

Feeling the coldness in Queen Yang's palm, Li Sui couldn't help lowering his eyes, but she shed a tear without warning. Afraid that Queen Yang would be sad when she saw it, Li Sui quickly turned his head to look at the closed pavilion door and said with a smile : "Sister, go in and have a look."

After all, Li Sui didn't look back, and pulled Queen Yang towards the Wanghe Tower. With the slight sound of "squeak--", the door of the pavilion was gently pushed open by Li Sui. Sui La stepped into the high threshold, and her embroidered shoes stepped on the mirror-like floor tiles, which made her feel so unreal.

She thought that she would never see that child again in this life.

After all, she finally waited, finally waited——

Even if it is death, there is no regret.

Regarding this upcoming meeting, Empress Yang felt mixed feelings and thoughts at the moment. She was obviously extremely happy, so happy that she wanted to laugh, but at the moment she laughed, tears burst out of her eyes first, as if she had completely lost control , Unknowingly, her face has been wet.

The wind blows from the south and blows the heart.

Ji Xinyaoyao, mother's work.

The warm spring sun gently sprinkles into the attic, and the breeze from the mountains makes the copper bells under the eaves of the attic ring.When Empress Yang and Li Sui walked into a cozy and warm hut, they saw a delicately polished baby cradle placed in it. The cradle was decorated with a sky-blue curtain, and beside the curtain was a child dressed in pink. The woman in the purple light shirt was sitting there with her head bowed, holding the edge of the cradle with one hand, and shaking the rattle in her hand with the other. With the sound of "jingle, jingle--", the baby's babbling gradually sounded.

"Sister-"

Sensing Empress Yang's pause, Li Sui supported her and whispered softly beside her.

The moment Empress Yang looked back, the people sitting beside the tent also looked over, and the next moment they got up and naturally crossed their hands in salute: "Your Highness, Princess—"

Hearing that the visitor knew her identity, Empress Yang looked over nervously, but Li Sui stretched out her hand to help the woman up, and then comforted her: "Sister, don't worry, Wanzhuang belongs to us, and she can be regarded as A Yu's midwife."

In the sound of Li Sui's introduction, the Wanzhuang in front of her nodded respectfully again. Looking at the woman in front of her who was not surprised by her identity, Empress Yang understood Li Sui's meaning. Zhu Wanzhuang said softly and trustingly: "I'm sorry."

Hearing this warm echo, even a hidden guard like Wanzhuang couldn't help but raise his head. There are too many things in just three words.

And at the moment when she raised her head, Wan Zhuang completely fell into those bright eyes full of emotions, as if the softest part of her heart was gently touched.Perhaps, this is the nature of being a mother. No matter how gentle and depressing that kind of color is, it is so dazzling that it cannot be ignored.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Your Highness is fine."

Wan Zhuang hurriedly lowered her head, responded calmly, bowed to Empress Yang and Li Sui, and then slowly retreated outward.

At the moment when there were only two people left in the room, Li Sui dragged Queen Yang over with distress when he saw that Queen Yang dared not go forward for a long time.

One step, two steps...

When the last distance was broken, when Empress Yang truly stood on the shaker, tears poured out again like a bank bursting.

Accompanied by the sound of the copper bell outside the building, the pair of bright almond eyes that looked exactly like Empress Yang met her.

At that moment, Empress Yang couldn't suppress the excitement in her chest any longer, she tightly covered her mouth with the hand holding the silk handkerchief, but she couldn't stop sobbing.

Seeing this scene, Li Sui also choked up so much that he took a deep breath, stretched out his hands to wrap around Empress Yang's much thinner shoulders, and gently comforted her, but she saw A Yu in the shaker as if she didn't want to disturb her. Like them, looking at them quietly, eyes flickering, but it is so peaceful and beautiful.

"Ayu, Auntie and Auntie are here to see you—"

Involuntarily, Li Sui laughed out loud. Hearing these words, Empress Yang was stunned. With Li Sui's encouragement, she hesitated and slowly stretched out her right hand, just when her hand was about to touch A Yu's soft skin. When he touched his cheek, he immediately withdrew his hand and said nervously: "Will my hand freeze him—"

Seeing the gentle and steady elder sister showing such a nervous look, Li Sui only felt sore and warm, and finally took Empress Yang's hand and moved it over again.

When her fingertips touched the gold inlaid jade necklace on Ayu's neck, and saw the word "Yu" polished on the jade, Empress Yang smiled gratifiedly. The smile seemed relieved, as if she had no more regrets. Li Sui's eyes were full of gratitude and happiness.

"Yu'er, Yu'er—"

As if it was a treasure in this world, Empress Yang gently rubbed A Yu's cheek with her thumb in her hands, looking at those eyes that were almost exactly the same as hers, she suppressed the bursts of emotions, lest she break the love of this moment. Like a beautiful, very light and small voice called.

And at this moment, the baby's "giggle—" laughter was like the wind blowing the flowers in the mountain stream, causing Empress Yang to look at Li Sui with tears of joy and said, "Aman, did you see that?" , Yu'er smiled, Yu'er looked at me and smiled—"

Seeing that sister was as happy as a child getting the sweetest candy in the world, Li Sui at this moment wished to freeze time so that sister could be happy like this for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Li Sui felt a thorn in his heart. He could only hide his sadness, and looked at A Yu with a smile and said, "Mother and child are united, our Yu'er is happy to see A Niang, right?"

Hearing Li Sui's words, the little man in the shaking bed giggled again, perhaps this smile completely eliminated the loss and tension that Queen Yang was elusive, gradually, with the help of Li Sui, Queen Yang, Stiffly and carefully, he carried A Yu out of the shaker, while Li Sui teased him by shaking the rattle.

Time passed bit by bit, when Li Sui saw Queen Yang holding A Yu's hands gradually skillful and calm, when Li Sui saw A Yu, who was wrapped in thick clothes and wearing a tiger head cap, dancing in Queen Yang's arms He couldn't help but let go of the tension and vigilance these days, and smiled sincerely.

If there were no struggle for imperial power, no family sacrifices, she would be able to see Ah Jie smiling so heartily every day, sharing this warm mother-child time with Ah Yu.

However, good times always pass by like a fleeting horse. When the sound of hurried and careful footsteps walked in, both Li Sui and Queen Yang's hearts sank, and they knew exactly what it meant.

"Your Highness, Princess—"

Wan Zhuang who entered the room couldn't bear to look up at Empress Yang, then lowered her eyes and said, "The carriages and horses of the Xu family are about to return."

Hearing these words that came like a heavy stone, Empress Yang's smile froze, and then disappeared bit by bit, even the last light in her eyes was like a wind blowing through a candle, and it was clearly dim.

"Go."

Hearing Empress Yang forced herself to calm down, the pain in Li Sui's heart was dull and oppressive. Before she could make a sound, Empress Yang gave her a reassuring and powerless smile, and then stretched out her hand to carefully and reluctantly hug Ah in her arms. Yu handed over the evening makeup.

At the moment when the evening makeup was taken over, Empress Yang smiled and said in a low voice: "Thank you."

Just two words are enough to touch people's hearts.

However, at the next moment, Empress Yang could no longer restrain herself and turned her back, not daring to look at the person behind her.

Looking at this scene, Li Sui nodded silently, and Wan Zhuang immediately retreated outwards with his head bowed.Perhaps it was the nature of mother and child, at this moment the little person in her arms suddenly cried out, such sentimentality was enough to break Queen Yang's heart.

Wan Zhuang knew that it was not too late, so she had to speed up her pace secretly. As expected, Empress Yang, who had turned her back and dared not look at it, was touched by the crying and turned around uncontrollably. He could only force himself not to chase after him, but he fell on the spot and cried so hard that he couldn't help himself.

"Sister-"

When Li Sui accompanied Empress Yang to the highest floor of the Wanghe Tower, seeing the evening make-up in her embrace of A Yu gradually going away, and hearing the uncontrollable mournful cries in her ears, Li Sui clenched her hands tightly until her nails touched her palms It caused stinging pain, so he took a deep breath, wrapped his arms around Empress Yang's shrugging shoulders and promised, "Sister, Ayu will definitely come back to us, definitely."

　I remember reading a reader before who said that the women in Chang'an Qingli are too depressed, unable to control their own lives, unable to marry a lover who likes each other, and unable to obtain a pure heart.In fact, this is what I want to express, and it is also the fact that the lives of feudal women, no matter whether they are rich or poor, whether they are born noble or born as slaves, are all bound and controlled by class concepts. The sad color of the times, no aura, no golden fingers, no smooth sailing, only contradictory survival in resistance and suppression, this was probably the reality at that time.That's why a female emperor like Wu Zetian will leave a strong mark in the history books, because under the feudal traditional concept for thousands of years, she can walk out of the extraordinary life of a girl, which is indeed unprecedented. However, even so, She also lost a lot.Therefore, good things generally have flaws.
