Chapter 46 The Strange Queen Mother

"You said, you haven't seen the queen mother for almost a year?" Xu Xue sat on the step, hugged by Li Zheng.

"Yeah!" Li Zheng nodded, "The last time we met was my birthday, on the second day of February. The emperor's grandpa's national funeral has not yet been three years old, and there is no palace banquet for any major festival in the palace, so there are usually no chances. See, it's my birthday and she brought something for me."

"Are you her biological child?" Xu Xue was very surprised, no matter how Yi Ran didn't get close to her parents, she wouldn't be so close that she wouldn't take a look.

"Yes, why not. The queen mother gave birth to two sons, me and Li Rui." Xu Xue looked at Li Zheng, and Li Zheng saw her bewildered face, and continued: "I was hugged by the emperor's grandfather when I was more than one year old." Donggong came to raise me, so I haven't seen the queen mother much since I was a child. Later, when I became the grandson of the emperor, my own father did something against me, and her mother didn't stop me. After I found out, I didn't want to see them both. After becoming the emperor, although the Huangji Hall is only a few hundred meters away from the Fuze Hall, I have never been there."

"Prince Rui is dead, the Queen Mother didn't look for you?"

"No, and I don't know why, she never asked. The Empress Dowager only loved Prince Rui since she was a child, and I stood with Prince Rui, she didn't even look at me, the emperor, and only had Prince Rui in her eyes. After Prince Rui died, I thought she would send someone to assassinate me, but in the end she didn't even cry for Prince Rui, let alone avenge him. I don't know whether the usual pet is real or fake Anyway, I can't see through her, even Concubine Hui said she can't see through."

"Aren't you afraid to eat at her place? Will she poison you?" Xu Xue was a little worried. As a mother, no matter which son died, she would not be so calm.

"Don't worry, Shadow is not a vegetarian." Bu Huo stopped outside Fuze Hall, Li Zheng stepped down to protect Xu Xue, and then held her hand.

In the main hall of Fuze Hall, the Empress Dowager Ming was sitting on the head of the hall, wearing a dark red embroidered phoenix robe, with a silk belt of the same color around her waist, and her long hair without a single silver thread was all coiled behind her head. There is a golden hairpin with nine phoenixes singing together.

"Emperor/Concubine pays respects to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed and safe." Li Zheng raised the corner of his casual clothes, knelt down on one leg and saluted as a son-in-law, while Xu Xue was beside him, touching his forehead to the ground to salute as a concubine.

"Get up. Lunch is ready, sit down and eat." The Empress Dowager stepped off the Phoenix chair, and the meal was set under the Phoenix chair.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Li Zheng and Xu Xue got up and sat down.

On a square dining table, the Empress Dowager sits at the first seat, the Emperor Ming sits at the second seat on the left, and Xu Cairen sits at the right seat.There are six kinds of vegetarian side dishes on the table, which are very common, but without exception, they are all spicy, and the dishes are all Li Zheng's favorite.Li Zheng looked at these dishes, a little strange, when did the Queen Mother know his taste so well?Li Zheng glanced at Xu Xue, Xu Xue shook her head slightly, but she didn't know.The Empress Dowager picked up the chopsticks, but Emperor Ming and Xu Cai dared to use them to eat.

"The emperor works hard on state affairs every day, use more, don't starve yourself." The queen mother put a piece of spicy chicken in Li Zheng's bowl.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, the emperor knows that I have never starved myself." Li Zheng put the chicken in his mouth and chewed it for a while, um, it seems not poisonous.

I still remember that four years ago, Li Zheng, who was less than 12 years old, and Li Rui, who was five years older than him, were stabbed by assassins at the same time.At that time, the princess of the Qing Dynasty stayed by the bedside of Li Rui, who had suffered some trauma, every day until he recovered from the injury.But she had never even visited the place of her youngest son who almost died.Li Zheng knew through that incident that people's hearts can be so biased.Prince Rui rebelled, and Li Zheng always believed that the Empress Dowager would help this beloved eldest son, but unexpectedly, she did not, but it was just that she did not help.Just like when the emperor's father issued an assassination order to Li Zheng behind his back, she did not stop him.

The queen mother sat on the first seat, seeing the subtle expression on her son's face, her heart felt sour.She has lived in this world for thousands of years. She has seen too much love and hatred, and written many idiots and resentments, but she doesn't understand what is true love and love, family and affection. More than 30 years ago, she got into the book on a whim and became the mother of the people in the book. She gave birth to her like an ordinary mother, raised her, and grew up slowly.When the author of the book was ten years old, Zi Ruo came to remind her that the matter of entering the book had been known by her superiors, and told her to leave quickly. She was reluctant to let go of the family affection she felt at the beginning, and stayed in the book again and again.This tease accidentally messed up the two relationships. She tried to mend it, but it became more and more chaotic. Seeing that the punishment of God was approaching, her former husband, Yi Ziruo, secretly changed the plot in the book and merged the two relationships into one. .She successfully deceived the eyes of the sky, and the punishment of heaven disappeared, but her affection for the child could not be erased no matter what.This time, she was willful again, just hoping to watch this child for ten years.

"Elder Emperor is ready." Li Zheng felt his stomach was full and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Well, the Ai family ordered people to pick the new winter tea in Mingfo Mountain, the emperor can try it." Seeing that the Ming emperor was full, the queen mother quickly ordered people to bring new tea.

"Winter tea from Mingfo Mountain, you have to taste it. This winter tea is much better than the royal tribute tea that Erhuang usually drinks."

Li Zheng took the hot tea and took a sip. The light and long tea fragrance was refreshing.For Li Zheng, who is good at tea, this is the best of the best. Drinking it, his eyebrows are going to fly.Seeing his expression, the queen mother covered her mouth and smiled lightly. This child has been like this since he was a child. Whenever he eats something he likes, the expression on his face is very rich.

"If you like it, Aijia still has some, and the emperor will take it away later." After the food was removed, the eunuch who was on duty in front of the queen mother replaced the tea stove and tea set for the three of them.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, you are welcome." Li Zheng bowed his head and saluted.

"Emperor and Aijia, why should you be polite?" The queen mother looked at Li Zheng, saw that Li Zheng was teasing her, smiled slightly, and poured a new cup of tea for Li Zheng.

After chatting for a while after the meal, Li Zheng randomly found an excuse, took Xu Xue to bid farewell to the Queen Mother, and walked out of Fuze Hall.Walking out of the palace gate, sitting on the steps, Li Zheng wiped his sweat with his sleeve.Xu Xue asked him what was wrong, and Li Zheng answered her, shocked!A person who has been indifferent to your life and death for more than ten years suddenly cares about you, can you not be shocked?Not to mention frightening.Xu Xue smiled, as for?Li Zheng said, of course as for it, didn't you see that she cared about you just now?No matter what Li Zheng was said to be the emperor, the Queen Mother hated Li Zheng for killing her beloved Prince Rui, so she would not kill Li Zheng, because once Li Zheng died, she would not live long.No one in the royal family who sits on the throne will not let off Ming Huang's biological mother—the Empress Dowager Ming.But she can do something to people around Emperor Ming, such as the favored concubine.

"Aren't you thinking too much! It's natural for a mother to care about her child, although you are not an ordinary mother-child relationship. After the death of Prince Rui, the queen mother showed concern for you, if it is because she found out that she was very concerned about you in the past. You are too indifferent, do you want to make up for it?" After Xu Xue finished speaking, she rubbed Li Zheng's sad face desperately.

"I hope so! But on the other hand, it's not that I have to think so badly about her. It's just that you have to be like me. You have experienced being assassinated by your own father, poisoned by your first love, and even killed by your own kiss." You won't think so if your brother forced the palace." When Li Zheng said this, his face was full of grievances.

"Assassinated by King Qing and forced into the palace by Prince Rui, I heard you say it, but what's the matter with being poisoned by your first love? Hmm? Don't even think about going to bed if you don't make it clear today." Xu Xue squeezed Li Zheng's face, A pair of winking eyes looked at him coldly.

"I said, I said it's not enough, don't pinch it, your face will be swollen." Li Zheng was suffering, how could he slip his mouth.

The author has something to say:

Baby, I am very fast at coding. I can write 10,000+ words in ten days when I am at home, but my level is, uh, really not that good.But I still hope that everyone can pay attention to it. Most of the baby code texts rely on random feelings. I don’t know where they are going. Pit, this is the principle.
