The maid is the queen

Chapter 259
It seems that we really need to do a thorough investigation, it will have to be a little later, everything has to wait for Xia Juntang to recover and the order of the dynasty to be settled.

Anyway, Yunsha didn't kill her now, but was in the cold palace, so she could always ask.

It was snowing and it was getting dark so fast, the maid lit the candles, a little bit of yellow dye warmed the palace, but it felt a little overwhelming, Xia Junlan, you are not here, it is so empty what.

Three years is really long.One morning, one noon and one dusk, or when you wake up in a blink of an eye, you can feel that time passes very slowly.

But it's okay, no matter how much suffering and how tired, you can get over that hurdle by gritting your teeth.

I couldn't show my tiredness and bewilderment in front of the children, and when I sat down to eat with them, Xi said eagerly, "Mother and concubine, I want to see my father, I want to see my father."

Xi and him have a very deep relationship. I have been taking care of him during this time, but I will always miss him very much after a long time.

"Good, eat."

"No, Xi'er wants to see Emperor Father." He shook his head, and then coquettishly called: "Mother and Concubine wants to see Emperor Father, Emperor Father will kiss Xi, kiss Mother and Concubine."

His unintentional words will always sting my heart, how much I miss him.

Xu put some dishes into Xi's bowl: "Brother Xi, mother and concubine are not feeling well, don't quarrel with mother and concubine, we will play horse riding in a while."

"No, Xi wants Royal Father." He cried with a whoosh, and sat on the ground and quarreled: "I want Royal Father, Royal Father."

The maid wanted to come over to hug him, I shook my head, looked at the worried Xu and the baby and said softly: "Leave him alone, eat." It made him cry instead.

But you can't develop a bad temper, you have to achieve your goal, or you will cry like this.

In the past, I had the patience to coax him, but now I am really tired and have no energy.

After crying for a long time, I looked at him upset and angry: "Can't you get up?"

"Father." He cried even louder.

"Mother concubine beat you, do you believe it?" Not only did she have a headache, but her teeth also ached.

He wanted to cry, so I picked up the chopsticks and pulled his hand away and beat him down in the palm of my hand. The more I beat him, the more he cried. Xu came over and hugged me, and cried with a whine: "Mother, don't hit Xie!" younger brother."

Crying together, I looked at Xi Honghong's palms and felt heartbroken and sad.

Don't say that he can be fooled when he is young, the child can recognize the arms of his relatives the most, Xie has no temper but doesn't know anything, what should I do with him?Xi, Xi, it's not that the concubine doesn't want you to see her, it's true that you can't see her.

Now that the queen mother is coming to Xuanxu and the baby, do I dare to let my family affection destroy everything?

Some people say that happiness is to stand on a high place to see the scenery, but I am too cold to stand on a high place, and I have to be ruthless to do everything.

Xi blushed from crying, withdrew his hands and called out: "Concubine Mu, Xi is in pain."

Xu hugged me: "Concubine mother, don't hit brother Xi, concubine mother will be heartbroken."

The baby said softly: "The baby is the most obedient, don't let the concubine mother be sad, the baby has to eat a lot of food, brother Xi, you are not good, not at all."

"Xi is good." He whimpered and threw himself into my arms, weeping: "Mother, concubine, it hurts."

"In the future, you can't sit on the ground and cry willfully."

He shook his head tearfully, but the tears were still falling.

This face, this pair of eyes, are so similar to his father, I hugged him: "Mother and concubine wipe your palms for you, don't cry, father is sick now, Xi can't worry about father, you know ?"

There was still longing in his eyes, but he shook his head and said nothing.

Sobbing and unable to even eat, she nestled in my arms and fell asleep after a while.

Looking at the pair of children on the opposite side, she said softly: "The concubine mother wants to teach brother Xi not to let him do whatever he wants. Don't be afraid, the concubine mother will be very happy to correct her mistakes."

They seem to understand, do not ask me why.

I asked the maids to send them their homework, and I checked by myself. Xie and the baby seemed to be a lot more sensible, and they stopped clamoring for sweets and didn't play, but quietly reviewed what they had learned today.

Well done, Xia Junlan, you should be happy, your children are so sensible, I hope Xixi can be like Xu when he grows up.

Time is like the lighted candle, passing quietly.

Suddenly, on this cold day, I really wanted to eat egg noodles, Xie didn't eat much, so he would be hungry soon.

He went out quietly and came in after cooking a large plate of noodles.

Xu smelled the fragrance and said, "Mother concubine smells so good."

"Come and have some hot noodle soup before going to bed." Yao Xingxi fed him some.

Xu swallowed his saliva and said, "Concubine mother, aren't you a noble concubine in the palace? Other concubines can't cook by themselves, and those who study with us, their mothers can't cook either? "

"Hehe, concubine mother is your mother, no matter what her status is, it's normal for mother to cook food for you."

"It's delicious, and the concubine mother wants another bowl."

Put another bowl for her, watching them eat with gusto, their hearts are very warm. What is delicious is not the taste or the noodles, but the least intimacy and affection in the palace. Ask them, children want more affection.

After two days, Xi didn't bother to see his father anymore, and he was so good that it made me feel a little sad.

Xia Juntang's injury healed quickly, not only Lin Luoshui would come in to see him every day, but also the imperial doctor in the palace had to stay at Xiahua Palace.

This snow is really getting bigger and bigger, and I feel dizzy when dealing with government affairs. Fortunately, I have Yang Shangshu's support all the time.

Often in the midst of the protests at the memorial, he went the other way, making Xia Juntang's first leak of political affairs a little bit like Anshun, we thought that we would slowly get on track, and it would be good to have someone to assist.

I thought at the time that Xia Junlan's vision was so powerful, if he let Yang Shangshu go, he would really serve the emperor with all his heart, but later I realized that was not the case.

Yang Shangshu led someone to bring the information station of the Lu family. The queen mother was very dissatisfied, as if she couldn't trust the queen mother, the emperor arranged for people around her to send back news, saying that the queen mother had been observing what happened that night.

In the name of looking at the emperor, I went to Zhenghua Palace again.

I don't like to face the queen mother, but I can't let Xia Juntang face it alone.

Xia Juntang sat on the imperial concubine's couch indifferently, and without saying a word, he glanced at the queen mother indifferently: "What's the matter with the queen mother, just send a father-in-law to come over, and it's better to stay in the palace if it's cold."

"Ai's family came to see how the emperor's injury is doing?"

"No problem."

The queen mother's eyelids drooped slightly, but she looked at Xia Juntang sharply in every possible way, trying to see any flaws.

The maid brought the medicine: "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine."

I went to fetch it, sat on the imperial concubine's couch, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you won't feel bitter after drinking it in one sitting."

Xia Junlan hates taking medicine, I think the Queen Mother must know.

I never told him about this, because few outsiders were around when he took the medicine.

Xia Juntang frowned: "I'm almost fine, Mu Qiu, I don't want to drink, just let it go."

The queen mother also said hypocritically: "Your Majesty, it is impossible not to drink medicine for this injury."

"The Empress Dowager is right. You can drink it, Your Majesty. You can drink it in small sips. If you drink a little bit of honey water, it won't be too bitter."

Picking up the spoon, no matter how tightly he frowned, he still put it to his lips with a smile, sniffed at the disgust on his face, and reluctantly opened his mouth to drink.

I also pretended to be Xia Junlan, so I took out the handkerchief and gently wiped the medicine stains on the corners of his lips. I was so close that I could hear his heartbeat, and his breath was on my face. , but there was still that gentle and affectionate smile on his face, meeting his bright black eyes, and not avoiding them.

The queen mother withdrew her eyes and looked elsewhere: "Your Majesty, how can a king of a country still drink medicine like this. I thought you would not have this bad habit when you grow up and become an emperor."

"Natural nature is always hard to change." He said lightly.

The queen mother chuckled: "Yes, when the emperor was young, he drank it all in front of his mother. The mother strictly required the emperor to care about small and big things, but the emperor never said what he liked or disliked in front of the mother. .”

"The emperor doesn't want the empress dowager to worry." I chuckled.

"If the emperor thinks this way, then the queen mother is really relieved. It's just that the emperor's work now really makes the queen mother chill. Recently, she ordered Yang Shangshu to copy the textiles of the Lu family in the capital." It was a sigh: "Could it be that the emperor has forgotten what you once said?"

Xia Juntang was so smart that he didn't answer her words, but said very displeasedly: "Mother, I am the emperor, and whatever I do, I must proceed with the interests of the court. None will be tolerated."

The queen mother said lightly: "Ai Jia thinks, the emperor doesn't remember the past at all."

"Mother, why bother to talk about everything in the past, what is the status of the mother now, the mother used to be just a young lady of the Lu family, the mother will remember a lot of the past, but the current status of your mother is not the Lu family's young lady, you are the queen mother of the Taixiang, Now that I am injured, it is not appropriate to be an imperial physician, and I don't want to get angry with my mother, but my mother came to tell me about these things. Could it be that my mother condoned the Lu family and endangered the imperial power like this? The matter of Lu Xianhu I don't care about it, it's because of the love between my mother and me."

The more he talked, the more angry he became, his eyes were cold: "If the queen has nothing else to do, please go back to the palace and rest earlier. I am too tired to listen to anything. No matter what the queen will do or say in the future, I will always think about it." The current identity, many of the past no longer exist, and people can never go back to the past."

What she said left the Queen Mother speechless, the arrogance of the previous few days has subsided a lot.

Just about to say something, Xia Juntang said coldly again: "My mother can devote herself to practicing Buddhism with peace of mind in the future, and the affairs of the harem should not be bothering my mother anymore. After the fifteenth day, I will make Mu Qiu a noble concubine. She has Sufficient ability to stand alone."

"You want to make her a noble concubine?" the queen mother called out dumbly.

Not the emperor, but him, which proved that the queen mother knew that this was Xia Juntang.

Xia Juntang said displeasedly: "Mother, it is I who want to make Mu Qiu a noble concubine. I like Mu Qiu."

"How did the queen mother educate the emperor when I was a child." Her expression changed.
