Hou's favorite girl

Chapter 133

The short hillside is empty in the middle, surrounded by more than a dozen pine trees, and there are no famous flowers and plants, revealing the simplicity and simplicity that are rare in the palace.

This place has always been inaccessible, but today a yellow umbrella was set up in the open space. Under the yellow umbrella, there is a large and comfortable seat in the middle, a small chair on the right, and a couch on the left. It seems that it is used by the elderly or sick to recuperate. of.The white-haired Xiaoxiao in the middle, with a feeling on his face, is the Empress Dowager Zhuang.Needless to say, the two people next to her are Mrs. An Guo and Mrs. Ning Guo who have accompanied her for many years.Mrs. Ning Guo was ill, so she specially prepared a couch, where she could sit or lie down, as she wished.

"Your Majesty is really wronged today." Madam Ning Guo is not in good spirits, and her voice is weak, "This servant suddenly recalled the old days, insisted on returning to the old place, and then went to the Lengcui Pavilion where Madam lived in the past, it was exhausting His wife is also here."

"Achun, take care of yourself quickly, and don't talk too much." The Empress Dowager Zhuang ordered, "The imperial doctor wants you to take a good rest. Don't be tired, don't be angry, and be cheerful. Take a rest. The Ai family hasn't come back here for many years. Revisiting the old place, I don’t think there is anything wrong.”

"This place is too simple, I have wronged my mother." Mrs. Ning Guo said weakly.

"So what if it's simple? Didn't I live here for many years back then." The Empress Dowager Zhuang looked around and let out a long sigh.

"Recalling the days when the slaves and maidservants lived here, it seems like a lifetime away." Mrs. An Guo wiped her eyes with her hand as she spoke, "A few days ago, Ah Chun mentioned the old days to me. When she got sick yesterday, she missed the past even more. In fact, I would like to come here with Ah Chun. What is the identity of the empress, why should she condescend to come to this simple place. Your majesty is filial, the Yongshou Palace is gorgeous and extravagant Li, there are all kinds of novelties in the world. The empress is used to being particular about it, so how can she make it in such a simple place."

"What can't be done? Aijia not only needs to return to the old place, but also like before, with only the two of you by my side." Empress Dowager Zhuang laughed.

Mrs. Ning Guo fell ill, she was originally a vigorous and strong person, but she felt a little sad.Regardless of his own hypocrisy, he wanted to visit Leng Cui Pavilion, Mrs. An persuaded her many times, but she failed, so she reported to Queen Mother Zhuang.The Empress Dowager Zhuang also felt something, and said: "Then go back." Not only did she agree to Mrs. Ning Guo, but she also ordered people to arrange the canopies of the seats and then all retreated, leaving only Mrs. An and Mrs. Ning Guo, just like It was the same as before, in this deserted and simple place, there were only three masters and servants who depended on each other for life.

Thinking about those hard times in the past, and thinking about the revered empress dowager living in Yongshou Palace, the three of them were deeply moved.

"I didn't expect that I would still be here today." The Empress Dowager Zhuang sighed, her eyes were red.

The first emperor had no favor with the Empress Dowager of Shizhuang, so he raised his two sons silently in this harem where the high and the low were trampled on, and they suffered a lot.The late emperor had many sons, smart ones, brave ones, and noble birth mothers. No one expected that the most inconspicuous prince would stand out when he grows up. First he was made the crown prince by the late emperor, and then ascended to the throne smoothly. The Empress Dowager Zhuang was like a dream Like a soaring sky, with today's glory.

"Let's remember bitterness and sweetness today, right?" Mrs. Ningguo smiled weakly.

"Reminiscing about bitterness and thinking about sweetness? How did you come up with these four words, Ah Chun?" The Empress Dowager Zhuang was both happy and a little strange.

Mrs. Ning Guo said: "His Royal Highness Huai Wang came to see me, and when I said this idea, he laughed at me, saying that I wanted to recall the bitterness of the past and think about the sweetness of today. Simply put, it is remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness." King, there is a radiance on her still sickly cheeks.

Mrs. An Guo praised: "His Royal Highness Huai is filial, careful, approachable and unassuming. Both Ah Chun and I are very grateful. He has been very kind to us all these years. In fact, what is there for him to worry about? Isn't it for your mother?"

Speaking of King Huai, Empress Dowager Zhuang, a grandmother, was also happy. Madam An Guo praised her repeatedly, but Empress Dowager Zhuang frowned slightly, "I'm worried that Jiong'er is like his mother. The city is too deep, making it unpredictable."

Mrs. An and Mrs. Ninguo smiled wryly.

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't like Empress Hang from the very beginning, and it hasn't changed much after so many years. She always feels that Empress Hang is too scheming.King Mu has been messing around all the time, but the Queen Mother said that he is a careless and silly boy who has been protecting him in front of the emperor.It's the same when it comes to the grandson's generation, the prince and Huaiwang brothers are calm and dignified, and the other is well-spoken and well-deserved to be praised, but the king of Yongcheng is arrogant and arrogant, and passers-by look sideways. The Empress Dowager Zhuang prefers the king of Yongcheng, saying King Yongcheng's thoughts are all written on his face, and he can see it at a glance. Such a child is easy to suffer, and she needs to be protected as a grandmother.

Mrs. An Guo and Mrs. Ning Guo both came from poor backgrounds and had little knowledge, but they were used to seeing all kinds of things in the world since they were young. They knew that it was wrong to be like Queen Mother Zhuang, and they were very worried for her.For example, there are two brothers in a family. The elder son is promising and prosperous, while the younger son is doing nothing. Preference is given to grandchildren born to younger sons.If things go on like this, will the eldest son feel at ease?It's not an option to go on like this.

From below came the cheerful, silvery laughter of a child.

"Whose family's child?" Mrs. An Guo hurriedly looked around.

The hillside is short and small, so the situation below can be seen clearly.Mrs. An took a closer look and smiled, "It's two little girls playing on the swing."

The Empress Dowager Zhuang, like the rest of the old ladies, likes lively and cute children very much. When she heard that there were two little dolls swinging on the swing, she also looked at them with great interest, "The little girl who looks like a flower bone is really cute!" See you later."

There are two swings side by side below, and two tender little girls are sitting on them and swinging leisurely, laughing from time to time, innocent and lovable.

"Whose family's child?" Mrs. Ning Guo struggled to remember, "This little voice is crisp and tender, I like it as soon as I hear it."

Mrs. An hurriedly held her down, "Don't move, I'll take a look for you. Hey, one of them seems to be Xiao Rongrong from Princess Danyang's house."

"It's Miss Rong Rong, she's a good girl." Mrs. Ning Guo said hurriedly when she heard that it was Jiang Rong.

Mrs. An poked her head forward and looked forward, "I haven't seen the other one, and I don't know it."
