Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Lan Xiang wanted to refuse, but she really liked this bright red fruit, and it was the first time she ate it. She licked her lips, but she couldn't hold it back, and she was blessed, "The concubine thanked the lady first."

Gu Xizhao waved her hand, signaling that she doesn't need to be polite.

Lan Xiang was afraid of bumping into Duan Fei, so she didn't delay in accepting the things, so she took her leave after saluting.

But she didn't want to bump into each other at the corner of the small garden outside, and both of them avoided it, so Lan Xiang had to stop and wait for Duan Fei to come up to greet him.

It was the first time for the two to meet each other, and they could guess each other's identities from each other's clothes. Duan Fei stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen the lady Xiangbi."

Lan Xiang took a secret look at him, slightly nervous, and hurriedly said: "Guard Duan, excuse me."

The Duan family is also a well-known family in the aristocratic circle of the imperial city. She had heard of the name of the imperial guard Duan Fei long ago, because her stepmother Fang kept repeating every day that she hoped that the guard Duan would marry a wife slowly, saying that she would wait until she succeeded. If the younger sister is older, she will go to Duan's house to talk about kissing.

At that time, she vaguely knew that this guard Duan must be a figure among men, and seeing her today, it was indeed so.Thinking of her stepmother's dirty thoughts, Lan Xiang couldn't help sneering in her heart. Her stepmother really has a higher heart than the sky, and she even thinks about toads!Toad eats swan meat.

Thinking of this, Lan Xiang felt an inexplicable sigh of relief in her heart, and seeing Duan Fei also had a good impression, she added, "The empress is already waiting for Duan's guard inside."

Duan Fei didn't look at her all this time, and still lowered his head, "Thank you, Mrs. Xiangbi, for reminding me, I'll be there soon."

Lan Xiang nodded, saw him turn sideways, and stepped forward.

"Xiang Concubine Empress."

Just as Lan Xiang walked past him, Duan Fei stopped her again, Lan Xiang turned her head, "Huh?"

"You dropped something." Duan Fei picked up the thing that fell on the ground, and handed it to her respectfully.

Lan Xiang looked at the three cherries in his palm, "The empress gave them to me. Since they fell at Guard Duan's feet today, I must want Guard Duan to taste the sweetness of these cherries."

Duan Fei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help raising his head to look at her. Looking at her crooked smiling eyes, he was startled, and suddenly remembered the scene many years ago.

"These three cherries will be rewarded to Guard Duan."

Duan Fei came back to his senses abruptly, and quickly lowered his head again, "Thank you, Mrs. Shang, Concubine Xiang."

Lan Xiang smiled, said nothing, turned around and walked out.

Duan Fei watched her go away, then put away the three cherries in his palm, and headed towards the main hall.

Gu Xizhao knew what Duan Fei was going to say, so she didn't ask much. She listened to what Duan Fei said, but when Duan Fei relayed the words of her mother, Mrs. Changping Hou, she paused slightly, "My mother, she still okay?"

Duan Fei didn't know what to say, and after pondering for a moment, he said truthfully: "It's a little sad."

Some, that's a lot.

Gu Xizhao clenched her fingers unconsciously, looked at the bright sky outside, and murmured: "I'm sorry, I said it to her."

The mother didn't raise her for a day, but her kindness was greater than the sky. She couldn't honor her, and even contributed to her son's life.

The mother's only fault was marrying her father.

But this mistake is not her mother's choice.

The mother did not fail anyone, but everyone around her failed her.

Therefore, it is time to hear sorry from the people around you.

Duan Fei didn't know what to say, his lips moved, but he didn't speak in the end.

Gu Xizhao was absent-minded for a while, and then came back to her senses, "It's hard work for the guard Duan to go this way."

Duan Fei quickly shook his head, "Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Gu Xizhao smiled, "Nowadays the government is a bit chaotic, I'm afraid the emperor can't live without people, so I won't keep you here."

Duan Fei was not polite any more, bowed and left.Once Gu Feiyang died and Marquis Changping fell, the political situation was not peaceful.

Marquis Changping became dizzy and never got out of bed again. In order to stay in Beijing, he used to fake his illness, but now he is really sick.With his illness, there were only two female relatives left in the mansion, and there was no man who supported the lintel in the house, so the Changping Marquis Mansion was not as lively as it used to be.

Ten days later, General Cao returned to Beijing, and besides the armistice agreement with Xiwan, he also brought back Gu Feiyang's body and two children.

The body was sent back to the Marquis of Changping, and after the mourning hall was arranged and settled, when Mrs. Marquis of Changping was crying uncontrollably, Gu Feiyang's wife, Mrs. Qiu, bumped her head against the coffin when she was unaware.

Immediately, blood spattered the mourning hall.

After everyone was shocked, Mrs. Changping Hou hugged her and covered her forehead with her hand, "Silly boy, what are you doing?"

Qiu held her hand, "Grandmother, on the day I married my husband, my husband asked me, he was stationed at the frontier, so he would not be able to accompany me all the time, and the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and the return date was not expected. He asked me, Are you scared?"

Qiu's words became slower and slower, and she paused for a moment before continuing: "Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, a husband and wife are one, and never live alone. I, Qiu Chanjuan, am just a village girl in the mountains. It is my responsibility to marry a husband. Luckily. I know that there must be other women around my husband. When I was in the frontier, I could often see other women’s veils hidden on him... But I don’t care, mother-in-law. I only know that people in the world only Knowing that I, Qiu Chanjuan, is his, Gu Feiyang's wife...this...that's...enough..."

After finishing speaking, Qiu's hand slowly slipped down, and when she closed her eyes, she couldn't help smiling, as if she saw many years ago, when she was washing clothes by the small river, the lame man beside her picked up her clothes with a stick and threw them into the river. When she got into the river, she knelt on the river bank, but she couldn't catch it anyway, so she had to drag off her shoes and socks, and went down the river.

It was he who appeared, helped her pick up the clothes, and drove away the scorpion.

They all said that she was the most beautiful girl in Bridge Town, and she would definitely marry into a wealthy family in the future.She looked at the man who was like a god, and forgot about a woman's reserve. She used the greatest courage in her life to get ashore with her skirts up, showed her fat white feet in front of him, and said, "My mother said , whoever sees a girl's feet will marry her."

"Well. Tell me your name and where you live. When I come back next time, I will marry you."

"Are you serious?"

"Really. By the way..."

"Ok?"

"After that, you can't show your feet to others."

"it is good."

So, two years later, she got her wish.

Before the consciousness completely dissipated, Qiu seemed to see her husband Gu Feiyang again, and stretched out his hand to her, he said: "I'm back, I'll marry you."

Qiu's breath fell completely, "Okay..."

As for her husband, whether he loves her or not, or whether he only loves her, she never asks, and dare not ask.

She thought, whether it's fake or real, it's her wish and her own choice. Even if it's bitter, she still has to smile and say it's sweet.

She thought again, she should still like it a little bit, those ear-to-eye contact, those inadvertent eye contact, should be real.

Well, it's true.

Live in the same bed, die in the same bed.In the next life, they will still be husband and wife.

Mrs. Changping Hou watched helplessly as Qiu's breath fell in her arms, and tears fell violently. She wanted to cry but couldn't. She could only stare blankly at the corners of her slightly raised lips. After a long time, she seemed to wake up. As if in awe, "It's okay, it's okay..."

After this incident, Mrs. Changping Hou also fell ill.

After the funeral, Zhao Sansi personally sent the imperial physicians and maids in the palace to serve in the Marquis of Changping. At first, those aristocratic families went to greet him every now and then, but they stopped going, and the Marquis of Changping gradually disappeared from the circle of aristocratic families. It became a quiet and wealthy mansion.

Everyone in the world marveled at how a loyal family ended up like this.

People in the world who don't know the truth can only sigh with emotion, time and fate.

Regarding the two children that General Cao brought back from the northwest, Gu Xizhao handed over the boys who were less than three years old to General Cao after seeing them, "When he grows up, tell him that his father-killing enemy is Xiwan."

And that four-year-old girl whose eyebrows and eyes look a bit like her, and who also looks a bit like a little fool, Gu Xizhao likes it from the bottom of her heart, and I am afraid that there will only be such a child in this world who is like herself and a little fool. They all look alike.

When handing over the person to Yunsong Daoist Chu Yan, Gu Xizhao patted the little girl's head, "Auntie was able to remember things when she was four years old. Maybe you can remember today's events, maybe you can't. But it doesn't matter, you just need to remember According to my aunt, life is too short, so you must be happy."

The little girl's eyes were guarded and fierce, she stared straight at Gu Xizhao, "You are not my aunt, I want to go home."

Gu Xizhao smiled, "From then on, the sky and the earth are big, and the whole world is your home. I heard from the secret guard that your name is Yaya. Yaya doesn't sound good. Today, my aunt will change your name to Jinhuan. Family, everyone in the world has a surname, so it’s called Jinhuan.”
