The queen mother is

The seventh day of July in the ninth year of Wenjing was originally a day for the folk to celebrate the meeting of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl on the magpie bridge. There are lovers in the sky who meet again, and the lovers on the ground can only pray to the sky for their love to last forever.

In the palace, there are quite a few young maids who are new to the palace. They are in small groups, threading needles and making small items, hoping that the Vega star in the sky will bless their ingenuity. Fly up the branches.

The new emperor succeeded to the throne, the harem was stable, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were gradually brought under control, the king of Jin was married, and the southwest was stable. After the death of Emperor Huan, the palace had not been lively for a long time. There was still a bit of joy on the person's face.

No one thought that on the day of Qixi Festival, there would be an explosion in the Guardhouse and Forbidden Guardhouse not far from the south of Fengxian Hall. was ignited, followed by an explosion.

The palace people talked a lot, and they didn't know what was the reason.

The rainy season this year is earlier than in previous years and the weather is wetter than in previous years.The fireworks and firecrackers piled up outside the warehouse were nothing, but in the afternoon, the palace people of the West Empress Sixth Palace and the West Twelfth Palace only saw countless bright fireworks flashing in the sky, followed by a few loud noises and flames soaring into the sky.

Fireworks in the daytime were originally nothing.

When Wen Yining woke up, he found himself being held in someone's arms. There was warmth and heat coming from his body, and there was also a faint smell of tobacco. This kind of fragrance was not strong, and would often be overwhelmed by the smell of women's rouge and gouache.

It's been a long time since he was held in someone's arms like this. The last time he was able to lie in someone's arms like this was probably about two years ago:

At that time, not long after the second prince passed away, and the imperial concubine gave birth to Princess Jiale, she died of illness. He begged Ling and Shu to save his sister's life, and knelt outside the Mingguang Palace for three days and two nights. Put Wen Shuyao under house arrest.

At that time, Wen Shuyao was rescued, but he himself fell ill, lying in bed and eating three meals a day without taking soup and medicine.

Although Emperor Huan Ling and Shu hated Wen Shuyao's cruelty and viciousness, they finally came to the middle hall on the third day to take care of him personally.It was also at that time that Wen Yining felt for the first time that the man he married was not ignorant of him and kept in the dark.

Also at that time, Huan Diling and Shu asked him a question.Ling Yushu only asked this once in his life, and only this once, after that, until his death, he never asked again.

Ling Yushu asked, "Yining, if we hadn't started this way, would you have fallen in love with me?"

At that time, before he had time to answer, the emperor let out a long sigh, and asked and answered the question in a sad and self-deprecating tone.

Ling Yushu said, "No, you won't. If you start over again, the father didn't ask you, you didn't marry me. You will become a wise man in my Wenjing Dynasty, a famous minister who is famous all over the world. You and Zhen , Destined to be only monarchs and ministers, since they are monarchs and ministers, they can only be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and there is no personal relationship between children and daughters to talk about..."

Not long after that, Princess Jiale had insufficient womb and died within three months.The imperial concubine and the son and daughter she gave birth to for the royal family went to another world together with their mother.

"What are you thinking, so lost in thought?"

The man behind him—maybe it wasn't a man who spoke, Wen Yining could only let out a long sigh when he heard his voice:

"I didn't know that the official supervisor of the palace is such an idle job. I don't see my father-in-law doing things every day, but he always appears at my place so coincidentally."

"how……"

Wen Yining only felt that when the person behind him moved, he was bitten on the tip of his ear. When he was struggling in pain, his tooth marks were completely covered by the wet tongue, and he felt that Wei Fengguo was licking- Those tiny wounds, while asking vaguely:

"What? Are you interested in my business now?"

Wen Yining only felt his ears heat up and his heart beat faster, and he subconsciously gave Wei Fengguo an elbow. The eunuch stepped away, stood under the couch and said to himself:

"When you're clearly asleep, so frank..."

Wen Yining heard this sentence clearly, and looked at him with raised eyebrows:

"Then why 'Eunuch Wei' didn't wait for me to fall asleep, and did it himself? Or 'Eunuch Wei', do you have such a wicked heart and no such courage?"

Wen Yining specifically emphasized the word "father-in-law". There are not a few eunuchs in the palace who find a vegetable household or eat with each other. There are countless beauties, but only a handful.

Wen Yining didn't know how the eunuchs had intercourse, but only vaguely knew that although the eunuchs were castrated, they still had sex with men and women. It's not like he didn't see the old eunuchs tortured by all means in the past few years. Disabled palace people and maids.

but,

The "Master Thousand Years" Wei Fengguo in front of him seemed not to be provoked by him at all, and seemed to have seen through all his thoughts, smiled lightly, and looked at him with a meaningful expression:

"Is it really okay for you to say that, Queen Mother?"

Seeing Wei Fengguo's smile, accompanied by his deep and slightly hoarse voice, Wen Yining couldn't help but think of that rainy night, when he was tied to the bed by Wei Fengguo in the prison hall, Wen Yining couldn't help but groan again go back:

"Speaking a word is like white dyed soap."

Wei Fengguo smiled, Wen Yining looked over, and after only a while, he blushed and turned his eyes away. The man with well-defined features and a high nose bridge was full of tenderness and doting, in his deep eyes, only Full of nostalgia for people.

Wanting to cover up his wavering, Wen Yining coughed lightly, and started a new topic:

"How about Ruyi?"

"What does the Empress Dowager want to do with Father-in-law Ruyi? If the empress doesn't dislike it, then let the lower officials do it for you, how about it?"

Wen Yining believed that if he hadn't been concerned about the entrustments of the imperial physicians and his master, he would have jumped off the bed and punched the "Eunuch Wei" with a smile on his face.

"This is the housework of 'my palace', and has nothing to do with you, Eunuch Wei. The eunuch is busy with the office affairs, so why don't you go back earlier?" Wen Yining lifted the quilt and got out of the bed while talking.

At this time, he realized that his right arm was wrapped in a bandage, and the pain that he hadn't felt before was becoming more and more obvious now.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Wen Yining doesn't want to reveal anything about the Wen family to others.Whether it's wishful or safe, for so many years, when he went to visit the grave every Qingming, he always asked them to wait outside.

Now, since his younger sister is gone, he should also go home to visit the ancestral grave.

"I worry about you."

Obviously the person who should watch his words and expressions the most is the eunuch in this palace, why is this Wei Fengguo so ignorant of his expression.Wen Yining frowned and turned his head, but saw Wei Fengguo coming over with his clothes, bent down to help him put on his shoes respectfully.

The overly naked warmth in the other party's eyes made Wen Yining lose his temper at all, so he could only let Wei Fengguo help him put on his shoes and socks, and Wen Yining noticed——

What Wei Fengguo helped him choose was not the bright yellow coat symbolizing the royal family, nor the red birch color coat without gold trim, but the simplest old robe in his closet.

Surprised for a moment, Wen Yining blurted out, "How do you know me..."

When Wei Fengguo helped him fasten his belt, Wen Yining chose not to mention it again. Wei Fengguo could know that he likes white tea and muffins, and the reason why he couldn't sleep at night for ten years.There is no difficulty in such trivial matters as what clothes to wear.

Wen Yining just looked at Wei Fengguo suspiciously, that is - he wondered if the eunuch knew about that matter.

That thing that he almost kept from everyone and prepared for ten years.

"Empress Dowager, do you want to go to the Wen family's ancestral grave? It's getting late now, and you were injured just now. Why don't we go with you?"

Just as Wen Yining wanted to refuse, Wei Fengguo added another sentence:

"I'm standing at the door, I won't go in and disturb you."

People have talked about this, and Wen Yining is inconvenient to refuse, and thinking of Ping An and Ruyi, Wen Yining thinks it would be nice to have an "outsider" who is not so close along the way——

Even if Ping An doesn't ask, Ruyi will keep asking along the way.

Shu Yao had just passed away, so he didn't have any extra thoughts to deal with the problem of Ruyi.Although Xiao Ruyi didn't understand anything, her intuition was stronger than others. If something really happened, Wen Yining felt that it was easy to hide it from Ping An, but it was not so simple to hide it from Ruyi.

just,

Wen Yining glanced at Wei Fengguo, who was helping to pack his things. This Eunuch Wei was really good at it, and he didn't know how he persuaded Ruyi and Pingan to stay by his side to serve him.

Such a big event happened in the palace, and the people in the office were very busy.Wen Yining only listened to Ruyi explaining clearly what the people from the Reporting Office, the Supervisory Office, and the Xuanzheng Yuan did when he was unconscious. Although this time the incident came unexpectedly, they were able to deal with it properly.

Wen Yining couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only lean in the carriage and close his eyes to rest.Ruyi sat in the sedan chair with him, and Eunuch Wei and Pingan, who insisted on accompanying him, rode their horses to protect the outside of the carriage.

Wen Yining didn't want to make it public, so naturally Ruyi asked acquaintances to let him go, and they left the city directly from the north gate of the imperial city with a few entourages, and rushed to Wen's family's cemetery in the northern suburbs of the capital.

Wen Taifu's family has been from Gyeonggi for many generations, and it was not until Wen Taifu's generation that they became one of the three powers.However, it is not to be said that the rich are no more than three generations, and the powerful and powerful for a while are only for a moment.

This ancestral grave was probably chosen by Wen Yining's grandfather. It is not far away, but it is also quiet. Because of Wen Yining's status, Wen Shuyao lives in a secluded palace, and the only two members of Wen's family can't come to the garden often.

Therefore, a few years ago, Wen Yining hired a one-eyed and lame old gardener to be the guardian of the mausoleum. The family's ancestral graves are just deserted.

He saw the gate of the cemetery from a distance, Wen Yining hadn't gotten off the carriage with Ruyi's support, but he had already seen the mausoleum guard coming out of the garden with a lantern in his hand. Probably because the lights were dim, the old man didn't Wen Yining was not seen.

The old man only walked up to Wei Fengguo who had just jumped off the horse:

"Young man, haven't you already been here this year? Why... eh? What's wrong with your eyes? Why are you winking suddenly? Is there sand in your eyes?"
