Quick Travel: The host only wants to make money

Xia Mian knew what Eunuch Chen was worried about, "I know, Eunuch, I didn't eat it! This is what Sister Xiangjun gave me. I'll wait for you to check it before eating it with my father and grandmother!"

Eunuch Chen was relieved and said, "Hey! The princess is a good boy!"

He was afraid that some thoughtful people would take advantage of the children's kindness, which would lead to a big mistake.

Xia Mian also obediently waited for Eunuch Chen to prick the snacks with a silver needle and saw that the needles had not turned black before she safely handed the snacks to Xia Mian.

Xia Mian had enough to eat, and she didn't forget to bring snacks to the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother very happy. She immediately agreed with Emperor Zhao that she would take Xia Mian out of the palace to play.

Emperor Zhao thought for a while and then agreed, with only one request: to bring guards.

Seeing the older one and the younger one walking out hand in hand, Emperor Zhao was a little worried that the Queen Mother could see Xia Mian?Don't get lost together.

After thinking for a while, he waved his hand to summon An Yi, "Go and follow carefully."

"Yes."

Xia Mian was dressed as a little boy and followed the Queen Mother, who was also dressed as a man, out of the palace.

"Mianmian, let me tell you, there is a teahouse in the southwest corner of the capital. There are storytellers in it. It's really interesting. Grandma Huang will take you to see it!"

Xia Mian looked at the Queen Mother in surprise. She didn't expect that such a heroic person as the Queen Mother would be interested in storytelling.

When they arrived at the teahouse and the storyteller came up to tell the story, Xia Mian found that the Queen Mother's eyes had been looking at the storyteller on the stage.

Without blinking, he stared at the people on the stage in trance, with a trace of sadness and sadness in his eyes.

The storyteller is a very elegant middle-aged man with a bookish air about him, standing there smiling and telling stories.

It's just that Xia Mian noticed that the storyteller's gaze inadvertently glanced here several times, to be precise, it glanced at the position where the Queen Mother was sitting.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother's eyes were moist and red. Xia Mian silently took out her small handkerchief from her arms and handed it over.

The Queen Mother smiled uncomfortably, "This story is so touching, it moved the Ai family to tears, and made us Mianmian laugh."

Xia Mian smiled and said nothing.

"Xiao Qi, what's going on with the Queen Mother and the storyteller on the stage?"

Xia Mian didn't believe that the Queen Mother acted like this just because of the story told by the storyteller. The look in their eyes was wrong.

She felt that the two people must have known each other and had a close relationship. Xia Mian supported her chin with her small hand and narrowed her eyes slightly. Did the Queen Mother marry the former Emperor?

The system rummaged through the information, found the paragraph about the Queen Mother, and read it dryly.

[The Queen Mother has been practicing martial arts with the Jiang family since she was a child. She is skinnier than boys. She often goes up trees to dig out bird's nests and goes down to the river to catch bastards. She is the child king in the capital...]

Xia Mian nodded slightly, yes, the Queen Mother looked the same. Now in middle age, she is still so different. When she was a child, she must not have been a gentle and pleasant young lady.

It turns out that the Queen Mother often likes to run out, and the small mansion cannot restrain the Queen Mother at all. When she was climbing a tree to pick peaches, she met an unparalleled and handsome man named Qing Lang. At that time, the Queen Mother lost consciousness and fell from the tree. Qing Lang went to pick it up and broke his arm.

When the Queen Mother saw that she had smashed the person, she hurriedly sent the person to the hospital. Seeing Qing Lang's arm hanging, the Queen Mother felt sorry and ran to take care of him every day.

After going back and forth, the two developed some feelings for each other. Qinglang was just a poor boy. He knew he was not worthy of the Jiang family's legitimate daughter, so he studied hard, hoping that he would be able to marry his wife in high school with flying colors. Sweetheart.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The Jiang family made great contributions to Zhao State and their reputation among the people became increasingly profound. The late emperor felt that the Jiang family had made great contributions to the country and was suspected of shaking the master.

On the day when the Jiang family returned to Beijing after winning the battle, an imperial edict was issued to make Jiang Xiu, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, queen. When Qing Lang learned about it, one of his shoes ran away on a rainy day, just to run to Jiang Xiu. Home, see Jiang Xiu.

But after waiting all night and seeing no one, Father Jiang sighed. He knew that his daughter was with a poor boy, but today was the first time he saw her.

"Xiuxiu has been sealed by the emperor. She will never see you again."

Qing Lang looked at Father Jiang in despair, "General, is there no other way? Let me see Xiuxiu, okay? I want to hear her say it herself..."

Father Jiang couldn't bear it, but he still shook his head, "You are a good boy, and so is Xiu Xiu. Now the Jiang family is under suspicion by the emperor. The emperor just wants to keep the Jiang family firmly in his hands. The Jiang family cannot resist the decree, do you understand? ? The lives of more than a hundred members of my Jiang family are now tied to Xiuxiu!"

Qing Lang fell to the ground, covering his face and crying bitterly, "Obviously, as long as I wait a few more days, and the imperial examination will take place in a few more days, I can marry Xiuxiu, how could it become like this?"

Father Jiang just sighed and left the front hall, yes!How did it become like this?

Jiang Xiu was quickly welcomed into the palace, but the people around him were the ones who made it impossible for him to stay with his sweetheart, and his heart was full of hatred.

Xia Mian thought thoughtfully, "No wonder the Queen Mother was able to kill the late Emperor so neatly when my father was in trouble. It turns out there were personal emotions involved!"

The system also lamented, [Who says it’s not the case?From the looks of it, the late emperor was really not a good person. Even the queen mother entered the palace and failed to protect the Jiang family in the end. It was reasonable to feel resentful in his heart. 】

When Xia Mian looked at the Queen Mother again, she felt a touch of distress in her heart. She was such a woman who shouldered everything and sacrificed her own happiness when the family was in trouble, but ended up like this in the end.

Thinking about it, when the Jiang family shed their blood for the Zhao Kingdom, the Queen Mother had already hated her so deeply that the late Emperor was acting like a minister, right?

A woman with an unfettered nature had her wings broken and spent so many years in a cage-like palace.

Xia Mian felt very sad when she saw the Queen Mother staring at the storyteller on the stage without blinking.

It seems that the storyteller should be Qing Lang, right?

He has an elegant appearance and is still graceful even at this age. No wonder the Queen Mother likes him. Xia Mian hates it the most when two people are still alive but end up like strangers.

She always believed that separation in life was more heartbreaking than farewell in death.

After Qing Lang finished reading the book, he walked off the stage. Seeing the Queen Mother's absent-minded look, Xia Mian decided to help the Queen Mother. She went to find out whether Qing Lang had married a wife and had children in these years.

Xia Mian jumped off the stool and said to the Queen Mother, "Grandma, I have a stomachache, go to the hut!"

The Queen Mother came to her senses and stood up, "Then I will go with you."

Xia Mian waved her hands hurriedly, "No need! Grandma Huang is here waiting for Mianmian! Just let grandma accompany me!"
