From Zhen Huan

57. Empress Dowager on

"Mother, mother?"

Xuan Ling turned his head and looked at me.

I came back to my senses, pinched Xuan Ling's swollen cheeks, and said depressedly, "Why are you that unlucky kid again?"

"Tell me! What do you want from me?"

Xuanling was stunned for a moment, because of my mother's sudden and strange behavior, and then jumped up and down with joy, and said to me as if announcing: "Mother, I want to marry the eldest lady of the Zhu family."

Bai Nen's face was slightly flushed, showing that the young man was not at peace in his heart. Even though he tried his best to calm himself down, his slightly evasive eyes showed all the shyness of the young man.

This kind of Xuan Ling is very interesting, with the dependence and coquettishness that children would show when they are mothers, I have never seen it before.

I lightly touched his supple side face, and asked, "You want to marry Wan Wan and be a queen?"

"Yes, I want Wanwan to be my queen and my wife."

Facing my meaningful eyes, Xuan Ling lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly.

"You once promised that as long as Yixiu gave birth to a prince, you would make her the queen. Now you like Wanwan, and what are you going to do with Yixiu who is pregnant with your heir?" Xuanling is now completely in love with her, immersed in her heart. A hot-headed boy in love.However, I have to bring him back to reality and face the responsibilities he should face.

Xuanling glanced at me unnaturally, a slight guilt flashed in his eyes, and then he said to me seriously and firmly: "My queen, Wan Wan is the one I really love, the one I want want a wife."

"The emperor does not stand without faith, and he must do what he says. If you break your promise for love today, you will destroy your reputation for other things in the future. You are an emperor. You have enjoyed the honor of an emperor, but you can't do it." How do you let the people of the world think of you! Let the ministers of the court think of you! Let Yixiu's belly, how your relatives and flesh and blood think of you! You let the ancestors of the Great Zhou, the late emperor How do you see you, the heir of Da Zhou!"

"Your majesty, you have disappointed the queen mother." I said with a sigh.

As if he had never been so severely criticized by Zhu Chengbi, Xuan Ling was stunned for the first time, and then he realized that countless feelings such as grievance, sadness, and resentment came to his heart.

But Xuan Ling is still a child after all, the child of a mother who has always been strong, wise, and ruthless.After the chaotic thoughts in my heart were pressed into the bottom of my heart, I immediately knelt down in front of me and shouted: "Mother! My son has let you down, but that's not my son's original intention. My son just wants to be with Wanwan. Mother!" Queen Mother, you will make your son perfect! My son really can't live without Wan Wan!"

"Are you pushing your mother?" I snapped.

The hand clapped on the table, making a loud clap, the teacup on the table was flipped over, and rolled off the carpet.

"Son, don't dare!" Xuan Ling lowered his head deeply, not daring to face my anger, his tone was anxious and aggrieved.

I took a deep breath, as if I was trying my best to calm down the anger and disappointment in my heart, and then I took a sad look at Xuan Ling's not-so-tall body, waved my hand dejectedly, pointed at the door and said, "Go back first!"

"Mother!" Xuanling called out, unwilling, let alone believing that I would drive him away.

"I want to be quiet!" I said mercilessly, then turned my head away and never looked at him again.

Xuan Ling knelt down, unable to hear my request for a long time, so she stood up, with a lost expression, and said, "Please take care of your mother, the unfilial son Xuan Ling will leave first."

Xuan Ling backed out, and I sat where I was, although I was thinking wildly, it looked sad.

"Ma'am." Aunt Sun shouted worriedly.

"Ai's family is tired, help Ai's family to rest!" I said solemnly.

Aunt Sun helped me to sit on the bed, and before putting down the curtain, I heard my majestic voice in her ears.

"Tomorrow, please invite Wan Wan to come into the palace to accompany me. By the way, let Yixiu come too, and let the two sisters hear each other's plans."

"Yes."

Aunt Sun lit the tranquilizing incense, and stepped back gently.

I was lying on the bed, not feeling sleepy, listening to Xuan Ling talking about "mother queen", it felt really unnatural!However, for Xuan Ling, I really don't have the heart of a mother, and I won't be like Zhu Chengbi. Even though I know Xuan Ling is wrong, I can't bear my son's sadness, so I can only let him go on wrong.

If it were me, I would never condone his behavior, which not only damaged the prestige of the emperor, but also hurt the dignity of the Zhu family, and added hidden dangers to the harem.

In my opinion, any goal that can be achieved at the expense of hurting others, even in the name of love, cannot change its inherent immorality.

The next day, after enjoying the delicacies cooked in the small kitchen of the Empress Dowager's Palace, Yixiu came over with a full stomach.

I hurriedly asked Jianqiu to help her sit down first.

"Why did you come here so early in the morning? If you are pregnant, you should rest well. It won't be too late for you to come back when your sister comes!" I watched her sit down and said angrily.

Zhu Yixiu gained a lot of weight because of her pregnancy, her face was round and swollen, with immaturity and innocence remaining, and she was showing her mother's kindness again.In my opinion, there is no charm.

It's a pity that Xuan Ling failed to appreciate such a completely different beauty.

"Give Yixiu some snacks and sugar water, now is the time to eat them, don't starve in my Yining Palace." I smiled at Yixiu and told Aunt Sun.

Zhu Yixiu blushed with embarrassment, his eyes were misty, and said emotionally: "Be more concerned about the empress!"

"Just eat more, I care about my grandson!"

While drinking the sweet soup, I educated Zhu Yixiu on some things that should be paid attention to during pregnancy, and the time passed quickly.

"My daughter, Zhu Rou, has met the Empress Dowager, and wish the Empress Dowager the best of luck. I have seen the Empress Xian, and wish the Empress Xian peace." Zhu Rou knelt on the ground, with a graceful figure.

"Get up and sit down."

Zhu Rou sat down, I couldn't help admiring her beautiful and elegant appearance, and then said kindly: "Wan Wan often enters the palace these days, why don't you come to accompany aunt more often!"

Zhu Rou was pure-minded, upon hearing this, she immediately glanced at Zhu Yixiu with apology and guilt, and then said embarrassedly: "Wan Wan is wrong."

I can't bear to criticize that delicate and pitiful posture.

I gave her a reassuring look, and then I cut straight to the point, "Today I ask you two to come here, not as a queen mother, but as an aunt, to care about the two of you. The emperor has been making a lot of trouble during this time, and Wan Wan often accompanied her. Looking at him, I should be clear in my heart. As for Yixiu! There are very few things in this palace that you can hide from you. Therefore, my aunt asked you to come today just to ask what you mean, not to consider the emperor, not to consider The family is just your own meaning."

After saying something, Zhu Rou's expression changed before she finished listening, but Zhu Yixiu's expression remained the same, very calm.

But no one answered the question, both of them were silent, and I waited patiently.

After a while, Zhu Rouze, who looked like a little girl, finally couldn't help but said, "Auntie, Wan Wan is already engaged."

After all, I expressed my meaning tactfully, so I looked at Zhu Yixiu, just in time to not miss her flash of joy.

Sure enough, he is still a child!

I smiled, looked at Zhu Yixiu and asked gently: "What is Yixiu thinking?"

Touching the jade bracelet on his hand, Zhu Yixiu said after a long time, "I hope my aunt can make the decision for Yixiu."

"As expected of sisters, it looks like we have made an appointment. Since your ideas don't conflict, then it doesn't matter if Auntie fulfills your wish." I turned my eyes around their faces, and then said with relief.

"Thank you, Auntie, for your success." The two sisters said in unison.

When it was time to leave, I told the two of them again: "From today onwards, it is advisable to fix the miscarriage properly, and don't waste your time thinking about it. Just keep everything as usual, and I will discuss your matter with your mother."

"Your Majesty, if the Emperor finds out." After sending the two away, Aunt Sun said worriedly.

"My family is helpless!" I sighed, "Now that Cheng He is in charge of the government, how can the emperor destroy his image and give Cheng He a handle. Compared with the foundation of the ancestors, the love of children is so insignificant! The emperor is No matter how much I like him, I can't let him risk offending the two big families and act recklessly!"

"I wish we could meet each other when we were not married! Everything can only be blamed on the emperor and Wan Wan not having a predestined relationship!"

Xuan Ling and Zhu Rouze had never been destined to each other, even if Xuan Ling did marry Zhu Rouze, it would only add a touch of grievance to the harem.This eradication of wronged souls fulfilled Xuan Ling's deep love, and even insulted all the beautiful women who looked similar to Zhu Rouze and were used as stand-ins.

The next day I invited Zhu Rouze's mother into the palace, threatened Zhu Rouze's life, and persuaded this vain and stubborn woman to agree to prepare Zhu Rouze's dowry in secret.

Then when Xuan Ling was caught off guard, a decree was issued from Yining Palace, and Zhu Rou and her fiancé, the wedding was just half a month away, and it was the best auspicious day of the year.He also authorized Zhu Rou not to enter the palace to thank her, but to stay in Zhu's residence and prepare for marriage wholeheartedly. 【sweat!Forget who that fiance is! 】

With Yi's orders, Zhu Yixiu and Zhu Rou got what they wanted, only Xuan Ling was both disappointed and resentful, and almost wanted to rush into Yining Palace to question me.

I didn't care about him either, I just let him lose his temper in Yiyuan Hall, instead I took Xuanqing by my side every day and taught him patiently.

Time passed day by day, and Zhu Rouze's wedding was approaching. I arranged for someone to watch Xuan Ling secretly in case he did something irrational.
