Chapter 789
Yanqing Palace.

Concubine Mingui held Song Xieyu's hand and refused to let it go, her beautiful loving eyes showed some resentment: "You child can't come to the palace once a year now, it's really useless to love you for so many years, if it weren't for It's the Empress Dowager's birthday, I'm afraid I don't know what year and month it will be when I want to see you."

Song Xieyu was so close to Concubine Mingui, she could see the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and felt sad for a while, the late emperor passed away only a year ago, but the aunt's face could already see the years left on her trace.

Today is Empress Dowager Tao's birthday, and it is rare for Concubine Mingui to dress up festively. The beauty of the past is now showing signs of aging. Song Xieyu threw herself into her arms, hiding the worry on her face: "Auntie is here How are you doing in the palace? Are the palace people slack?"

Concubine Mingui was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she stroked her hair gently: "What's the matter? After all, I am also the concubine of the first emperor, and I am protected by the Empress Dowager, who dares to get angry with me?"

It's rare for Song Xieyu to act like a little girl. The last time she threw herself into her arms like this, aggrieved and acted like a spoiled child, was it... when she was six years old?Concubine Min Taigui squinted her eyes, her eyes were distracted, and she fell into her own thoughts.

When he was six years old, Song Xieyu gave birth to powder carvings and jade carvings, which were like glutinous rice dumplings. There was nothing he didn't like after seeing it, but he had a bad nose at King Yong's and cried all the way back to Yanqing Palace. She hugged and coaxed her. For a long time, she seemed to be very sad, and she kept crying until she was tired from crying and fell asleep.

After so many years, it was the first time seeing her like this.

Seeing the intimate posture of the two masters, Yuxian and all the palace attendants retreated out tactfully, leaving a private space for the aunt and nephew.

"Auntie, look, it has changed a bit..."

Song Xieyu's words were reserved, but Concubine Min was able to stay in this palace for so many years, so naturally she would not be a dull character, and she was best at guessing the deep meaning in her words.

She touched her face, and the typical appearance of Jiangnan women made her look a little more sad, and her tone was gentle: "Yu'er, everyone is going to die, old age, sickness and death, and my aunt is no exception. I'm past flowering and decaying rapidly."

Of course Song Xieyu understands that life, old age, sickness and death are irresistible, but obviously... the Empress Dowager Tao today is no different from before. Why does her aunt decline so fast, even to the point where she panics? There are many places, and most of the abnormalities can be traced.

The aunt has no children in her life, but the queen has two children, but the aunt is aging faster than the queen. If there is nothing in it, how can she believe it?

Concubine Mintai smiled, with a bit of bitterness between her eyebrows, she patted her hand, her voice was soft and slow: "It has nothing to do with anyone, it has nothing to do with anyone, it's all old debts, Yu'er, don't ask... it's all Retribution is what I deserve."

Song Xieyu wanted to ask something more, to get to the bottom of it, but Yushu came in at this moment, hesitated for a moment before speaking softly: "Princess, His Royal Highness King Yong sent someone over, please go back to the palace."

Concubine Mintai collected her emotions and waved to Song Xieyu: "Okay, go quickly, don't keep King Yong waiting."

Seeing the servants coming in one after another, Song Xieyu suddenly realized that the best time to ask was probably lost, so he was not stubborn, got up and bowed to Concubine Min before leaving the palace gate.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was rare, and it was extremely lively. When Song Xieyu passed by, there was already a large crowd of people sitting in the hall, and when he glanced casually, he could see many acquaintances.

Xie Chu glanced at her, and simply said two words: "Here we come."

Song Xieyu sat down next to him and looked at the woman sitting on the lower right on the high platform. Compared with the day when she was sitting on the high position in the queen's costume on the day of the draft, she was actually a bit more like the Queen Mother Tao. shadow.

"This is the new empress? It looks really dignified, like a queen."

As if aware of Song Xieyu's gaze, the young queen glanced over and met Song Xieyu's gaze that she hadn't had time to retract.

The two of them looked at each other, and they were a little surprised by each other. Just when Song Xieyu didn't know how to react, he saw the queen pursed her lips and smiled at her, nodding.

She was the first to show her kindness, but Song Xieyu was a little surprised, subconsciously bent her lips, and returned her a polite smile.

After looking at everyone in the hall, Song Xieyu had a plan in mind, so he looked away.

Today is the home court of Empress Dowager Tao, and now only the new empress is sitting on the high platform, the empress dowager and His Majesty are missing, the scene is a bit weird.

Logically speaking, the Empress and His Majesty should accompany the Empress Dowager to attend, but now why did Tao Annan come first?

Song Xieyu was also confused, and talked to Xie Chu in a boring way: "Third brother, how can I look at it, this new queen seems to be not in favor of the Queen Mother."

It's only been a few months since the new empress took over the treasure, and this is the second time for the courtiers to see the new empress except after the empress's wedding.

But now the queen mother let the new queen hang here... This is no different from slapping the face, right?
Xie Chu was sitting upright, with excellent manners, as immobile as a mountain, calm and quiet, after listening to Song Xieyu's question, he raised his eyelids, raised his eyes to take a look at Xin, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, with a look on his face. The indifference of nothing to do with oneself for thousands of years.

"The new empress was supported by the empress dowager alone. If it really didn't suit her wishes, why would she bother so much? Even for the sake of this new empress, she hurt the mother-child relationship with Her Majesty?"

Song Xieyu took the teacup, and used the movement of drinking tea to hide the expression on her face, why didn't she understand what Xie Chu said?This new empress is Empress Dowager Tao's natal family. It is obvious that Empress Dowager Tao wants to support her mother's family. She also knows that her driving ducks to the shelves will make His Majesty feel bad, but she still does it.

Logically speaking, the queen and the queen mother are now on the same side, but today, the new queen is no different from being slapped in the face by the queen mother Tao.

Glancing at Xie Chu, Song Xieyu's heart seemed to be eaten by a hundred ants, scratching his heart and lungs, his eyes rolled around, and he gave him an angry look: "Third brother, don't play charades with me here, what do you know? Simply say it all at once?"

She peeled a grape herself, avoiding everyone's eyes as if to flatter her, and fed it into Xie Chu's mouth.

Her husband has been inseparable from the new emperor these days, and he definitely has first-hand information. She asked him, and she could definitely know the queen mother's mind clearly.

Xie Chu's flattery to her was quite useful, but he still had an unmoved and rigid look on his face.
