Mu Qingcheng returned to Sydney Palace, waiting patiently for news from Ouyang Qingxue.Things have developed to such a point that she feels that Ouyang Qingxue has no choice.

Between her lover and her family, she couldn't change anyone's fate.The only way to change yourself is the wisest choice.

At the beginning of October, the Empress Dowager recovered.Mu Qingcheng put away all her bad moods and happily ran to Yongle Palace.Last night I heard that Ouyang Qingxue hadn't returned to the palace, so I'll know how far things have progressed today.

When I arrived at the Yongle Palace to pay my respects, I saw the empress dowager's gloomy face, and Ouyang Qingxue looked at Mu Qingcheng standing in the hall with a raised face, feeling very wronged.

"Greetings, Cheng'er, Queen Mother."

Mu Qingcheng's voice was very bright, like the melodious sound of running water in a deep valley.

"Cheng'er get up and sit down."

Seeing Mu Qingcheng come to pay her respects, the Queen Mother felt much better, and gave Ouyang Qingxue a hard look.

"Thank you mother."

Mu Qingcheng was sitting next to Ouyang Qingxue, opposite Wei Shuang'er.She looked at Mu Qingcheng indifferently, without much expression change.

"Is the queen mother in better health?"

"It's much better, I'm still asking Cheng'er to worry about it, the queen mother is very apologetic."

The queen mother always thought that Mu Qingcheng's body was weak, and her bones were seriously ill every month and a little sick every ten days, which made her worry about it, and she felt a little sorry.

"The queen mother, and the son-in-law didn't do anything. It was all done by the queen's sister. You can see that she has lost a lot of weight during this period of time. The queen mother should be grateful to her."

Mu Qingcheng looked at the queen mother and Ouyang Qingxue with a smile, seeing the queen mother's attitude towards her, did things go well?

"Cheng'er's body has recovered? If it's still not healed, can you avoid the need to come to the queen mother's bedroom every day to say hello?"

The queen mother deliberately ignored Ouyang Qingxue, and she ignored what Mu Qingcheng said, and did not listen to it at all.

"It's all over, thank you, Queen Mother. Hey, Cheng'er is already weak, and it's worth living one more day. Thinking about passing away earlier in the future, I'm afraid His Majesty will hurt you. If you love each other, you want to last forever, and no one will." May heaven and man be separated forever, sometimes good fortune tricks people, and the world is not what people want."

The resentment and lament that Mu Qingcheng said was so moving.Several people were all sad when they heard this, and the hall was very quiet for a while.After a while, the queen mother finally said slowly: "You don't need to be sad, people live a lifetime and can be happy once, so why care about the length. Some people live a lifetime but are miserable, it's better to have a moment of happiness .”

"What the queen mother said is very true, but if you have the opportunity to live with your lover for one more day, why refuse people thousands of miles away because of various dangers. If you live a lifetime, don't you just ask for someone to hold your son's hand and grow old together ’, people in the world don’t know how to cherish it, and only think about regretting it after losing it, it’s too late, so why deceive yourself and others.”

Today's Mu Qingcheng suddenly talked about the world situation, which surprised everyone, but what she said was reasonable and could arouse the weakness in everyone's hearts, so the atmosphere was a little dignified.

"Cheng'er doesn't have to worry about His Majesty, His Majesty is a man of affection and will not let you down."

The queen mother thought that Mu Qingcheng was complaining, so she hurriedly spoke well for Huangfu Jingyan.

"Your Majesty is naturally a person who values ​​affection, but who can guarantee a lifetime of affection? If you can stay together, but you want to push it away, Cheng'er feels that this person must be too cowardly. Emotions are based on mutual gratification. , the more you keep running away, the more you will grow old one day, and you will regret what you did. Wouldn’t it be better if you seize the opportunity when you are young, and you can have an idea when you are old? Queen Mother, Cheng’er is right ?"

Mu Qingcheng slowly moved the queen mother in, and Ouyang Qingxue, who was at the side, kept muttering in her heart, was Mu Qingcheng too involved in this bitter scene?Seeing those words, the queen mother's face changed.

After hearing Mu Qingcheng's words, the queen mother seemed to think of something, looked sideways at Ouyang Qingxue, and sighed slightly.

"Cheng'er is feeling emotional today. It just so happens that the queen mother has some high-quality ginseng here. The three of you take it back and make up for it. As for Concubine Li, the queen mother sent someone to send it back to her palace. It's hard for her to be sick."

Li Yan went back to her mother's house every now and then, and the people in the palace acquiesced.Huangfu Jingyan was grateful for her filial piety, and gave her a token that she could leave the palace at any time.

"Well, we should all learn from Yan'er."

Mu Qingcheng watched the empress dowager change the subject, and knew that enough was enough.Just follow her words.

"Let's stop here today, I'm tired, you three go back and have a good rest. It's cold and keep warm."

Seeing such a heavy atmosphere, the queen mother had no intention of continuing.I had to send a few people to go back first.

"The sons and ministers will step down first, and the queen mother will rest well."

Mu Qingcheng saw that the queen mother was going to chase her away, so she retreated tactfully.

"My son is going back to the palace for the time being, and I will come to see my mother later."

Ouyang Qingxue was a little reluctant, but when she saluted and was about to step back, she heard an extremely cold voice.

"My palace has already recovered. The empress can take care of herself when she has nothing to do. Don't keep running to Yongle Palace. You have to worry about the harem."

The queen mother looked at Ouyang Qingxue with a gloomy face, very displeased.

"No. My son will leave."

Ouyang Qingxue stepped back aggrieved, exuding a sense of loss all over her body.

"My queen, the queen sister is also thinking about your health. During the few days of your illness, she has been guarding you every step of the way. After eating, it is often because you can't sleep at night, and you have never had a good night's rest. Mother, we Among the few, only sister is the best to you."

Mu Qingcheng hurriedly interjected, the Queen Mother's attitude towards Ouyang Qingxue was extremely bad.Couldn't it be done last night?

"The queen mother knows, you all should retreat first."

After the queen mother said something, she got up from the chair first and went to the compartment.

"The sons and ministers send off the mother respectfully."

The three responded in unison.

The Queen Mother was quite angry, Mu Qingcheng looked sideways at Ouyang Qingxue, the three of them walked out of Yongle Palace slowly without saying a word.

On the way back to the dormitory, Mu Qingcheng saw that Ouyang Qingxue was still looking sad, so she casually asked, "Did sister make the Queen Mother angry?"

"Hey, Cheng'er, I...she actually..."

When Ouyang Qingxue thought of the scene in the morning, she felt very sad.Seeing that Wei Shuang'er was also there, the words stuck in her throat, and she didn't speak again.

"Sister, the queen mother may not be able to accept it for a while, but it will be fine in a few days. If it blooms, don't worry about not bearing fruit. It's all a matter of time."

From Ouyang Qingxue's attitude, Mu Qingcheng can also guess that it's the same.Just now the Empress Dowager seemed a little unsteady when walking, maybe it's a done deal, the raw rice has been cooked.

The queen mother has been in the palace for so many years, she has always adhered to her duties, and has never exceeded half a point.These things are good, Ouyang Qingxue actually put her to sleep, and was still the one under her.

The Queen Mother was meant to be strong, but she was suppressed by a woman, who was also her nephew's daughter-in-law. It is understandable that she couldn't turn her head around for a while.

"Really, wouldn't she hate me? Seeing her cold expression towards me, I was frightened. I was so afraid that she would ignore me."

Ouyang Qingxue complained to Mu Qingcheng sadly, she no longer used "Ben Gong" but "I" when speaking.There is fear in my heart, fear that the efforts of the past ten years will be in vain, and in the end there will be no chance to stay by her side.

"When a person sticks to a city, all she sees is the world in the city. Suddenly, someone breaks everything she sticks to, and also violates her previous cognition. Accept it all. Wait until she has digested it, and experience the happiness in it, and slowly begin to savor all of it. Isn’t it the reward after all the hardships?”

Mu Qingcheng spoke softly with a smile, but she didn't intend to speed up her pace.Wei Shuang'er, who was at the side, was confused and didn't intend to ask the reason, but just quietly followed their steps and listened quietly.

"I hope it's true. Seeing her throwing a tantrum today, I felt that the world was dark. For a moment, I really wish that nothing had happened, and I just watched from afar."

Ouyang Qingxue raised her head and looked at the blue ocean-like sky. The scorching sun in late autumn is not as scorching as summer, but it has its own gentleness.Today, there was really a moment when I thought I was going to lose completely, and the fear struck me, and I was numb at that time.

"Staying still is really good for her. In love, it is obtained by bravery. It is too cowardly, it will only be in your own hands, and it will slowly pass with the years. It will not be known until a certain moment in the future. At the beginning What a pity I didn't try."

Mu Qingcheng seemed to be expressing his feelings, and his tone revealed a lot of helplessness and loneliness.

"Has Cheng'er ever been lost?"

Seeing Mu Qingcheng's lost look, Ouyang Qingxue asked.

"I used to escape, and finally lost it completely. I thought it was enough to just look at her, until one day when the two had no choice, I realized that the original choice was a kind of torture for her. There is no medicine for regret in this world. , so look forward to it, don’t miss it again, and strive for it.”

Mu Qingcheng looked at Ouyang Qingxue indifferently and smiled, the smile was relieved, but a little weak.There is too much reluctance, helplessness, and more sadness in the eyes.

"Maybe. Sometimes I really envy Shuang'er who is always so quiet, free from outside interference, and doesn't have to endure the troubles we have."

Looking at Wei Shuang'er who had been quietly following her, Ouyang Qingxue looked at her with some envy.She is the quietest in the palace, the most free from conflicts.

"Well, the imperial concubine has a very good temper. By the way, has the little princess come to see my sister recently?"

Mu Qingcheng also glanced at Wei Shuang'er, then asked her with a slightly raised mouth.

"She was sick recently, so she didn't come."

Wei Shuang'er spoke casually, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes, which was still noticed by Mu Qingcheng.

"Sister, don't worry, the little princess will be fine. The weather has changed a lot recently, and it's just cold, and it will recover in a few days. How about going out to the palace to have a look?"

Mu Qingcheng was beating gongs and drums at the side, which was blatantly telling people that they should behave well when they are sick.

"No, maybe I can see someone in a few days."

Wei Shuang'er didn't know what Mu Qingcheng's purpose was, she cared so much about herself and Huangfu Pinting, she always felt like being calculated.

"Is that so, my sister happens to have a badge for going out of the palace here, and I'm about to borrow it from my sister. Since my sister won't go to the Yixin Palace, my sister has no choice but to accept it."

Mu Qingcheng flashed the waist badge in front of Wei Shuang'er's eyes, and then took it back.It's a pity on the face.

"Let's borrow Cheng'er from Sister Shuang'er. Anyway, this little princess is also a frequent visitor to our palace. We usually have a good relationship as sisters. Let Sister Shuang'er go and have a look, so we can feel at ease."

Ouyang Qingxue seemed to see something, and quickly reached out to hold Mu Qingcheng's hand that was about to withdraw her waist badge.With a gentle smile, she asked her to lend her waist badge to Wei Shuang'er.

"Well, that's fine. Sister Guifei will trouble you to make a trip. Let's part ways and send someone to inform us when we come back. It's also good to know the situation of the little princess."

After Mu Qingcheng finished speaking, she stuffed the waist card into Wei Shuang'er's hand, and pulled Ouyang Qingxue forward quickly.

Wei Shuang'er looked at the backs of the two walking away, before she said she would go, why did they give her the badge?Looking down at the badge, he smiled unexpectedly.
