If it were in the past, Chen Rang's rebellious words would have been interrupted by her stern scolding.
But things are different today.
The last thing that crushed her was the day Yan Xiu deliberately wore red clothes to greet her. She knew that Yan Xiu had always been ruthless, but she didn't expect that he was not only ruthless, but also extremely cruel, and he also wanted to kill people.
He is his son who was born in ten months of pregnancy!
Yan Xiu tormented her until she was physically and mentally exhausted when she was in her womb. Later, when she gave birth, she was almost made into a dystocia by one of the late emperor's beauties. The imperial doctor and midwife all tried to persuade her to give up Yan Xiu, but she persisted. Jia Guan forced Yan Xiu to tear open her belly and bathe her flesh and blood before being born.
She never wanted to give up on him for a moment. In order to cultivate him into an outstanding prince, she stayed up many days and nights to accompany him to read at night, and she did not forget to watch him practice martial arts when it snowed.
When the Empress Dowager Xiaowen passed away, he, who had always been loved by the Empress Dowager, actually never went to Changle Palace to express her condolences for the first time; when the Empress Dowager Xiaowen was buried, he was not seen along the entire eighty-mile journey from Xijing City to the Imperial Mausoleum. trace.
He disappeared in the palace for a whole month before reappearing in front of everyone; as a prince, he dared to be so unfilial. This incident angered the late emperor and almost caused him to lose his position as prince forever!
It was she who braved the rain all night to return to the Zhang family. She was already the queen at that time, but she kowtowed to the elders in the Zhang family one by one for help! There were many voices of wasted people in the court, but the Zhang family spent a lot of money and manpower to silence them.
It was during this year that Yan Xiu separated from her mother and son, and it has not eased to this day.
Without her and the Zhang family, does Yan Xiu think he can become the overlord of the world by himself?
The Queen Mother once again looked at the face in the mirror with deep sunken cheeks and several fine lines at the end of the eyes. After experiencing the disaster, this face no longer had the slightest charm of the past, and was even older than Concubine Chen.
Throughout her life, she was neither loved by her husband nor respected by her sons, and her power was left to others. She also ended up with the end of all nine clans. So what if she was the Queen Mother? How desolate her final scene was.
Since everyone in the world has failed her, there is no reason to blame her for being ruthless.
Chen Rang hugged her from behind, slowly raised his hand and caressed her withered face: "Empress, please don't forget that you have more than one biological son."
…
Early August.
Zhu Sijia had just returned from boating with Yu Xin and others in Taiye Pool, and met Huaijin and Huaiyu halfway.
She knelt down, hugged one with one hand and asked, "Why did the Crown Prince and the County Lord enter the palace today?"
Huaiyu answered her with a sweet voice: "Mother said that we should go to the palace to study next spring. She was afraid that we would not get used to it, so she asked us to come to the palace every five days."
The attendant who followed them carefully explained: "Autumn comes once every five days and stays for an hour at a time; in winter, the prince and the county lord are miserable, and they have to come every three days and stay for an hour at a time. Two hours."
It can be seen that Zhaohua is extremely strict and painstaking in raising his own children.
Before Huaijin could say anything, he kissed Zhu Sijia on the side with his small mouth. After the kiss, he wrung his chubby fingers and said with a blushing face: "Empress Zhaoyi is so fragrant. I will marry someone as fragrant as you in the future." She is also beautiful as a daughter-in-law."
"Huh? So why did the prince want to kiss my daughter-in-law?" Yan Xiu, wearing a royal robe, walked out of the corner and lightly slapped Huaijin on the buttocks, "You are a brat, you dare to kiss my daughter-in-law. Believe it or not, I will wait for you. When your son is born, you snatch your sister to be his crown princess?"
Yan Xiu didn't hit hard.
But Huaijin knew the power of his uncle, and he always kept his word. When he thought that Huaiyu would call Yan Xiu "Father" in the future, Huaijin was so frightened that he burst into tears and had runny nose.
Zhu Sijia secretly pinched Yan Xiu's waist and said angrily: "Your Majesty, the child's skin is immature, you hit him too hard."
Yan Xiu: "..."
He can shake his fan harder than this! This little brat actually dared to trick him.
However, Yan Xiu couldn't bear to have the patience to comfort Huaijin. He ordered the palace servants to take Huaijin to the imperial dining room for snacks, and he first pulled Zhu Sijia towards the Taiji Palace.
He walked in a hurry, throwing away everyone who was accompanying him. Scarlett Zhu felt like she was about to fly behind him.
"His Majesty!"
Yan Xiu didn't stop.
Seeing no one around, Zhu Sijia shouted loudly: "Yan Xuanzhi!"
Only then did Yan Xiu stop.
Zhu Sijia stretched out her hand to tidy up the messy Zhu Cui: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Yan Xiu: "I'm sad."
Zhu Sijia: "...This, this is not serious, I just scolded you out of desperation. I know you didn't hurt Huaijin, so can I apologize to you?"
Yan Xiu: "That's not what I'm talking about."
Zhu Sijia: "What is that?"
Yan Xiu: "Cicada really don't remember what day it is?"
Zhu Sijia thought carefully: "Today... today is the second day of August, what's wrong?"
Yan Xiu came closer and said, "On this day last year, Cicada and I first met, a moment in the spring night."
Zhu Sijia finally figured out what was going on. She didn't expect that Yan Xiu could remember the details of their acquaintance so clearly. Her ears were burning and she deliberately took a few steps back:
"Xuanzhi..."
Yan Xiu took the opportunity to lift her up into a hug and ran towards Tai Chi Palace in large strides.
After arriving at Tai Chi Palace, Zhu Sijia understood why he was in such a hurry.
The moment the palace door opens, starting from the first floor tile in the main hall and continuing to all parts of the Tai Chi Palace, you can see all kinds of colorful famous flowers, piled up into a sea; even the paths between the sea of flowers are paved with petals. There are even smoke and butterflies lingering in it, making you feel like you are in Jiuxiao Fairy Pavilion.
Zhu Sijia was stunned by the scene in front of her.
We have only known each other for a year, so why should Yan Xiu work so hard?
When Yan Xiu saw that she was silent, he asked, "Cicada doesn't like it?"
Zhu Sijia: "It's not that I don't like them, it's just that it's autumn now and these flowers are not in season. Where did Xuanzhi find them?"
The implication is that he is worried about plundering people's wealth and wealth.
Yan Xiu: "I prepared it several months in advance. Don't worry, since the fall of Prime Minister Zhang, the national treasury has exceeded the most abundant record in the history of the Qin Dynasty. This little money is nothing."
"Cicada is my lucky star. Since I met you, I have saved danger many times and dealt with things in advance that were originally postponed for several years." Yan Xiu kissed her eyelids, "Cicada, it's been a year, tell me now. , have you fallen in love with me?"
Zhu Sijia put her feet up, hooked his neck, smiled charmingly and asked him back, "What do Xuanzhi think? Does Xuanzhi think I like you?"
Yan Xiu: "I don't want to guess, I want to listen to you personally."
Zhu Sijia: "I wish Sijia likes Yan Xuanzhi, likes him very much. In everyone's short life, which is a drop in the ocean, it is a very simple thing to fall in love with the best man in the world, Yan Xuanzhi."
One year ago today, when she chose to climb into Yan Xiu's bed, she simply did not believe that sincerity still existed in this mortal world.
But not to mention it was sincere, Yan Xiu wanted to show her his whole heart.
She thought that if she could experience the purest emotion in the world, it would not count as a do-over.
