famous eldest daughter

Chapter 1204 Whispers
Even though Concubine Hui knew it well, she never expected that the Empress Dowager would be so urgent, and she couldn't help saying: "Let's leave today? It's already past noon, and the weather is not so good. It's just spring, and the capital is still cold. It’s even colder.”

Xiao Yu followed and said: "Yes, Grandmother, Gu Suke is still fighting Liaodong and Nanyue. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back for a while. Even if you go, there will be no one."

The Queen Mother shook her head, "The Ai family has made up its mind. Let's leave today. Everything that needs to be packed up at the Ai family has been packed. Yu'er will send someone to see the Ai family off soon."

Xiao Yu... looked at Concubine Hui with a confused look on his face.

Concubine Hui pursed her lips slightly, "Then Your Majesty..."

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly drifted, then she became firm again, "There's no need to tell him. Anyway, he and I are both deceased."

Concubine Hui suddenly... How much do you want to go to Qibei?
The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth trembled, "Royal Grandmother, the road to Qibei is far away..."

The Queen Mother raised her hand to stop Xiao Yu, "Okay, it's a long journey, so hurry up and prepare the car and people. My things have been packed and put in the secret passage from Cining Palace to the Bihe Zhaiyuan of the Great Buddha Temple. "

Xiao Yu...

He wanted to say something else, but the Empress Dowager's eyes were full of urging, so Xiao Yu had no choice but to stand up and leave despite his confusion.

What is this called!
What a great living person, but one or two of them pretend to be dead, then change their appearance and live again!
There is so much room for you in this palace!

That's all. The father is crazy about love and runs towards Concubine Mei. Where is the Queen Mother!

He didn't believe that the land in Qibei was worthy of her attachment and infatuation. The Queen Mother went to Qibei really for Gusu Ke.

When Gu Su Ke was still Xiao Ke, the Queen Mother did not show any particular preference for him!

Xiao Yu started to prepare in confusion, and the Queen Mother took Concubine Hui's hand and said sincerely: "Don't blame the emperor. The Ai family knows that although you have been favored by you over the years, what you have in mind has always been Not the emperor."

As soon as Xiao Yu walked away, the Queen Mother said this.

Concubine Hui's face turned pale with fright, and she looked at the Queen Mother in panic. Her heart was beating fast, and the huge tension in her heart made her belly tighten involuntarily.

"Queen Mother..." Concubine Hui opened her mouth weakly, but she didn't know how to answer.

The secret she had hidden in her heart for decades was revealed by the Queen Mother with just one word.

The Queen Mother looked like someone who had come before, patted the back of her hand, and said softly: "Who doesn't have a world of his own in his heart, but you are lucky. You think of him, and he knows that for you, he would rather not marry for the rest of his life... ..."

Concubine Hui raised her eyes cautiously and saw the desolation of the Queen Mother. She couldn't help but feel startled. Her fear gradually dissipated, and by some mistake, she blurted out: "Has the Queen Mother ever been resentful?"

The Queen Mother was stunned and looked back at Concubine Hui. She stared at her for a moment and then smiled, "If there is anything to be resentful about, it is all your own life. There is no way for the Ai family to escape marrying the late emperor. In this case, why should we complain?" What, are you complaining to God? Even if you are complaining, God doesn’t know, so that’s not making things difficult for you!”

Concubine Hui...

The Queen Mother, she always respected, admired and loved her, but she never confided in her, let alone became intimate with her.

What's more, she didn't even tell the Princess of Pingxi Palace about such private words. Unexpectedly, the first time she confessed her heart to her was with the Queen Mother.

A strange feeling arose spontaneously. Concubine Hui sighed slightly and frowned again. How did the Queen Mother know about her affairs? How could she tolerate her once she knew it?
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Are you trying to say that since the Ai family knows that you have someone else in your heart, why can they tolerate you?"

The thoughts that had just arisen were punctured by the Queen Mother, and Concubine Hui gave an embarrassed smile.

The Queen Mother said: "Which of the women in this palace lives for herself? Those who have no children live for their mother's family; those who have children live for their mother's family and their children. Don't look at the heads-off fights for favors." Blood is flowing and you are fighting to the death, but who is really fighting for the emperor's heart? They are just fighting for the glorious future behind this favor!"

"The Ai family also grew up from nobles to queen mothers step by step. The core of this is suffering. Does the Ai family know? The people in the palace, whether they are masters or slaves, whether they are men or women, are the most ruthless!"

"No matter how innocent and innocent a person is, once they fall into this trap, they will be changed beyond recognition, so... that little spring in the heart is particularly precious."

"You are a sensible person. You hide the beauty of red plums in your heart, but you stick to your duties. For your own future, for the future of the Dong family, and for the future of Yu'er, you even gave up the handkerchief of Princess Pingxi. Now that we have broken off our friendship, the Ai family can still worry about you doing other unscrupulous things!"

"We are all women. When we are all alone and unbearable, we all say that the love of an emperor is the weakest and most unreliable. But this emperor of the Xiao family is different!"

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother let out a long sigh.

Concubine Hui suddenly remembered a court secret.

When the late emperor was in power, he favored Qing Guiren the most. However, due to the great connection between the former dynasty and the harem, and the bloody strife in the harem, Qing Guiren returned to the palace within three years, and he was personally ordered to do so by the late emperor. Killing order.

However, in the following years, the late emperor never showed such favor to anyone again.

Hanguangxuan, where Qing Guiren lived, is still a forbidden place in the palace.

Until the late emperor was seriously ill and was about to die, he still left a verbal message before his death.

In his imperial coffin, the floral and lotus root pleated skirt that Qing Guiren wore when he entered the palace must be placed together.

An old friend who had been dead for decades, he actually still kept the clothes she wore when she entered the palace.

This cold and ruthless emperor's heart also has his unique helplessness and bitter persistence.

Concubine Hui pursed her lips and sighed, "The Queen Mother is too worried. How can I blame Your Majesty? The Queen Mother also knows the relationship between Concubine and Sister Mei. Without Sister Mei, there would be no Concubine today. Sister Mei has been wronged for so many years, Your Majesty." I am willing to stay with her, I am sincerely happy for Sister Mei, but... I don’t know if Sister Mei can accept His Majesty’s sincerity in a few years.”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not. The important thing is to do it!"

Concubine Hui was startled, and looked at the Queen Mother.

The midday sun shone through the large window, and the Queen Mother's face was glowing with a radiance that Concubine Hui had never seen before.

It doesn’t matter whether you accept it or not. What matters is that you do it!
What she was talking about must be about her going to Qibei!

The old General Gusu was no longer here, so he naturally didn't know that the Queen Mother would go to Qibei after a few years. But whether he knew it or not was not important. What was important was where the Queen Mother's heart went.

After being silent for a while, the Queen Mother suddenly concentrated her thoughts and said to Concubine Hui: "Ah Qing, Ah Qing will be the queen in the future, right?"

When Gu Yuqing was mentioned, the queen mother's calm voice suddenly trembled, "The harem is a dye vat. The Ai family does not ask for anything else, but I ask you one thing. Take good care of Ah Qing for the Ai family."
