It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 452

The emperor has always been a man of his word, so the emperor almost lived in the Queen Mother's Longevity Palace. In the evening, he would accompany the Queen Mother to eat, chat for a while, or go for a walk with the Queen Mother, or accompany the Queen Mother to chant scriptures. In the early years, the emperor Before ascending the throne, he also chanted scriptures with the Queen Mother in this way, and it was not a burden. If Concubine Sun was not there at night, he would even wipe the face of the Queen Mother with his own hands, bring water for washing his feet, and wait for the Queen Mother to go to bed. The emperor would sleep outside, saying It was to keep watch for the old lady at night.

When Wanfu told this to Qian Xiyao, she was having dinner. Wanfu said with admiration, "Your Majesty, you didn't see the expression of the Empress Dowager. Last night, the Empress Dowager went out to pay respects, and Your Majesty was still guarding the door. When the Empress Dowager came out, she might have been moved, with tears in her eyes, and even the servants felt that this was a model of motherly kindness and filial piety, Your Majesty is truly admirable."

Pfft, Qian Xiyao almost spit out the late meal, thinking to herself, what kind of care is this, the queen mother is not paralyzed in bed, and why is she even guarding her mother?She put down her chopsticks, she couldn't eat anymore, she thought, the emperor is an heir after all, different from his relatives, who can bear to serve him so earnestly every day.

Wan Fu came over and patted Qian Xiyao on the back, and said in a warm voice, "Your majesty, eat slowly. The queen mother seems to be the same these days. She is a little anxious to eat. It is also her majesty who has been patting the back of the empress dowager and telling her to slow down." Let's eat."

Qian Xiyao took a sip of water and asked again, "Then what do His Majesty and the Empress Dowager talk about on weekdays?" She knew the Emperor, he was a person who believes that silence is golden, and she would not talk nonsense when she was idle.

Wanfu took the fruit plate from Xiang'er and brought it to Qian Xiyao. The red-skinned and white-heart apples were cut into eight pieces and spread out in a row. There were red tribute dates in the middle, which looked like a flower Pretty like a flower, "Your Majesty, you also know that His Majesty doesn't like to talk, and the Empress Dowager doesn't seem to like to talk much either...the two of them just sat and sipped tea."

Qian Xiyao understood, what Wanfu meant was that the two of them just drank tea and didn't talk. Qian Xiyao imagined that in the clean hall, the queen mother and the emperor each held teacups to drink, but they all looked sombre. It was talking, but there was no wind, and it was eerily quiet.

"It's not easy for the empress dowager." Qian Xiyao felt that the emperor's retaliation was too ruthless, facing his paralyzed face, who could drink tea, no wonder she could choke on eating.

Wanfu grinned when he heard this, thinking of the empress dowager's dark face day by day, he felt elated, and said, "It's not easy for your majesty. You have to be busy outside during the day, and you have to serve the empress dowager at night. A few days ago, your majesty I almost fell asleep when I went to court. The slave wanted to wake up His Majesty, but His Majesty seemed to have said something in sleep, saying that the Queen Mother, the servants came to bring you footwashing water... Zhou Taifu knew that His Majesty did a good job, He also gave the empress dowager a tearful comment, saying that the empress dowager taught his son well, so that Da Qi had such a good emperor."

Qian Xiyao, "...What do you mean, the outside world knows that His Majesty is serving the Empress Dowager in the Longevity Palace?"

Wan Fu's eyes sparkled, and he nodded, "That's right. Some people say that Wanmin should pray for the Empress Dowager, wishing her a speedy recovery."

Qian Xiyao thought about how the empress dowager looked deflated after seeing the booklet, and thought about how she was blocked by the emperor when she wanted to go to the toilet... Finally, she laughed with her stomach in her arms. She always felt that the empress dowager was shooting herself in the foot .

Wanfu came here to reassure Qian Xiyao. Although the emperor didn't say anything these days, Wanfu knew that His Majesty was most worried about this person in front of him, and if he was well coaxed, His Majesty would have no worries.
