After Wu Tsui and Xu Mingyi left the palace, the queen came to Shoukang palace.
"The Empress Dowager is in the Buddhist hall at this time. The empress dowager, please follow the slaves." a mammy saluted and led the way.
In recent years, the Empress Dowager has been in poor health and living in seclusion. The most common place to stay every day is the Buddhist hall specially built by Emperor Qingming.
"My concubine, please greet the Empress Dowager."
The queen saluted.
The empress dowager, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha, got up with the help of a nearby maid, turned around, nodded with a smile and said, "the queen is coming."
A woman in her fifties combs neatly and holds a white jade hairpin. Most of her hair bun is mixed with silver white. Her white face is also full of wrinkles. However, her smiling eyes are still divine and look very kind and blessed.
The queen stepped forward and held the Empress Dowager's arm. She entered the quiet room and sat down.
"Today, my nephew came into the palace." the queen took the tea lamp from the maid in charge and said casually in a homely tone, "I've come to say goodbye to my concubine."
"Going back to Ningyang?" asked the Empress Dowager.
"Yes, it's time to go back."
The Empress Dowager slowly turned the Buddha beads in her hand, nodded slightly and said, "it's good to go back."
A moment later, he said with a smile, "speaking, I haven't seen you yet."
The queen whispered, "there is always a chance in the future."
The Empress Dowager smiled noncommittally.
It doesn't matter what you can't see.
As long as people are safe.
He only asked, "now look, who is more like?"
The queen smiled and said, "my concubine looks like his mother."
Speaking of this, he lowered his eyes and ate tea to suppress the surging emotion at the bottom of his heart.
"Like mother..." the Empress Dowager nodded without mentioning anything else.
He turned to the mammy around him and said, "Lan Liu, bring the medicine for mourning."
The mother should go.
When she was about to retreat, she heard the Empress Dowager call herself: "I'm still in a hurry when I'm old, and I haven't explained my family's words yet -"
Mammy looked back and said with a helpless smile, "save it, maidservant. It's nothing more than taking more candy."
After hearing the speech, the Empress Dowager waved her hand and let people go.
"These days, whenever the emperor comes here, he will always ask about some respect and tolerance intentionally or unintentionally." after mammy left, the Empress Dowager straightened her face and said, "it's always not that simple."
Although Jing Rong was not born by her, she brought it up with her own hands.
"Long princess?" the queen looked thoughtful.
Since the eldest princess devoted herself to raising her face, the number of times she entered the palace has gradually decreased, and it is rare to see one side.
"Ai family remembers that among the last people I saw before the first emperor died, except the emperor, Jing Rong and the Duke of the town..." the Empress Dowager slowly said.
The queen nodded slightly.
"My concubine will pay as much attention as possible."
The reason why she insisted on entering the palace at that time was not only for the consideration of the Wu family, but also for her selfishness.
She wants to find out the truth in the Imperial City, especially her elder sister's death
"Be careful," the Empress Dowager told her, and suddenly coughed.
"But the medicine doesn't work?" the queen asked with concern, "or ask the imperial doctors to try another prescription?"
"It's just some small problems." the Empress Dowager stroked her chest and her face gradually recovered.
Her life, in the eyes of the emperor, is precious. Everything she uses is the best.
"You'd better eat less sugar." the queen reminded, "it's not good to eat too much sugar, according to the doctor."
"What AI family eats is phlegm dissolving." the Empress Dowager confidently said.
Moreover, the days are so hard that you are not allowed to eat sugar. What hope do you have alive?
While talking, Mammy had brought the medicine in.
The Empress Dowager squeezed her nose and drank the medicine. She quickly stuffed a piece of sugar into her mouth, and soon the wrinkles in her eyebrows and eyes were stretched.
The queen looked aside and smiled.
In this deep palace, she can relax only when she is with the Empress Dowager.
But I can't come often.
Otherwise, the emperor who is not a man will not sleep well again.
In the outer Buddhist hall, the incense mist swirled and surged like auspicious clouds, making the Golden Buddha statue high above the incense more compassionate.
……
It was getting dark, and as soon as the sunset cleared, colorful lights lit up all around the city.
People come and go in front of the Qingfeng building. As soon as Xu Mingyi jumped out of the carriage, he saw a young man in blue standing on the side outside the building. His excessively outstanding appearance and temperament made people not allow any mistake.
I didn't miss my appointment this time.
And arrived early.
Xu Mingyi strode towards him.
Wu Tsui saw her coachman early in the morning. At this time, he pretended to see people. He glanced at each other's men's clothes and said, "please, good brother."
Xu Mingyi nodded with a smile and walked in side by side.
The waiter who greeted him had a bright eye.
These two handsome CHILDES again.
Does he remember that one of them still has a dumb disease.
They were invited to the elegant room on the second floor. Wu Tsui was no more formal this time than the first time. He ordered dishes with Xu Mingyi.
Xu Mingyi asked for a pot of wine.
It's natural to have the appearance of a farewell party.
But Wu Tsung was afraid that she was not good at drinking and was uncomfortable when she was drunk. In case she delayed the originally agreed moon viewing, she only ate two.
After they left the Qingfeng building, Xu Mingyi said "it's still early", pointed to the front and suggested: "there is a light market not far from the front. At this time, it's busy. Why don't I take Mr. Wu for a stroll?"
Wu Chiu's eyebrows moved.
Does he look like someone who would like to go shopping?
And he has never liked people to join in the fun.
Not to mention——
The boy looked up at the full moon.
Is it still early?
... she just wanted an excuse to stay with him for a while?
"Let's go."
Wu Tsui glanced at the man on his side and walked ahead.
Yu Guang saw that she followed up, and the boy in a good mood raised his mouth.
The light market is crowded with people, and all kinds of vendors occupy their own positions.
Xu Mingyi has been here for many years. Originally, it was just a temporary place to pass the time. At this time, she was excited to visit.
Seeing her walking and stopping all the way, she stopped in front of the stall from time to time. Wu Tsui didn't say anything to urge her, but stood quietly beside her and blocked the crowded crowd for her without trace.
As usual, he can't see his good time being wasted like this. What's the meaning of this kind of thing?
But now he is too patient.
Even have patience to
Looking at the girl's vivid side face, an idea suddenly appeared in the young man's heart——
At this moment, he even hoped that the light market would never break up.
Really aware of his abnormality, the boy slightly closed his fingers behind him.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that a line of sight was staring at him.
Wu Tsung frowned and looked up.
