Wishful Things

There are so many people, why do you still need your service? The Queen Mother smiled and said, Besides, with your temperament, how can you be able to stay at home. In the past, you were invisible all day long. I really count on you to serve me. I'm afraid my teeth will be hungry!

There was also a smile in King Yan's slightly red eyes, he nodded and said: Yes, my son just said that casually. If I really want my son to do it, how can I serve such a picky and noble daughter like you? I'm afraid it will take three days before I will be kicked out and sold.

The mother on the side covered her mouth and laughed.

It's really been a long time since I heard this mother and son bickering and playing poor...

Thinking about it this way, my eyes felt a little sour.

Since you know that I am particular, why didn't you even know how to shave your beard when you enter the palace today? Although you are no longer young and handsome, you can't be so broken. The queen mother looked at the beard on her son's face and said disapprovingly.

If her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wu, was still there, she might not be so disgusted with it.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager suppressed her emotions and couldn't help asking: By the way, why don't you see your daughter-in-law and child coming here together?

Speaking of which, she has never seen her daughter-in-law and granddaughter Sangyun County Master before.

The concubine's illness is not yet fully recovered, and there are many rules in the palace. In such a hurry, my son fears that she will not be able to cope. King Yan said: After two days, their mother and daughter have generally adapted to the rules in Beijing, and the son will bring him to greet his mother.

The queen mother smiled and nodded: Alright.

Immediately, she said with relief in her eyes: At that time, I knew that you had a family in Beidi, and you had someone to accompany you, so my mother finally felt a little relieved.

People, you always need someone to accompany you.

Especially after experiencing such an upheaval, he immediately went to the unfamiliar border with difficult conditions.

In the first two years, she even thought that her son might not be willing to marry another wife because of the Wu family...

The consequences of doing so will undoubtedly bring more suspicion and trouble.

For example, if he intends to use this to show favor to the Wu family, he may even be suspected of his heirs...

Fortunately, the son later met Heidegger again.

Although Hai's family background is not high, she is only the daughter of a small local official, but in this way, she just happened to avoid a lot of troubles.

Listening to his mother's words, King Yan only agreed with Yes.

In fact, he never thought about the so-called companionship.

The meaning of his marriage to Hai's is not to be accompanied by the word.

The mother and son sat quietly drinking tea, talking about the big and small things over the years.

But they all pick out commonplace things, to put it bluntly, they are all irrelevant words.

After all, in the palace, many taboo words are inconvenient to say.

Go back and have a look at Jing Rong. The Queen Mother sighed slightly, and said, This poor child... always thinks about you.

King Yan was silent for a moment, before he said: My son has heard about Jing Rong's matter—is it true that he can't be cured?

The imperial doctor said that whether this disease can be cured or not depends on luck. But Ai's family went to see it a few times. Except for being a little confused, everything else is fine. He can eat, sleep and make trouble, but he made Jiaojiao's child so miserable. After talking about it, the queen mother couldn't help laughing.

King Yan followed suit with a smile: I spoiled her when she was young, and she is no different from a boy. I will go and see her tomorrow morning.

I just don't know if Dingning can still recognize him.

Try the pine nut candy in your hand. The Empress Dowager said with a smile, If you think it's delicious, when you leave later, take some out of the palace and give Sang'er a taste too.

King Yan glanced at the pine nut candy on the plate, and said with a smile: Son, I won't taste it. You know I don't like these sweets.

The Queen Mother said: This is made with pine nuts!

Listening to his mother's tone of this is a treasure, if you don't eat it, you will lose a lot, King Yan couldn't help being silent.

Mother's reasoning is always very strange-he doesn't like caramel, but pine nuts are added to caramel, so does he like it? Then why doesn't he just eat pine nuts?

Taste it. The Empress Dowager said with a smile: This is the queen's nephew, who brought it from Ningyang to the queen. It is said that it is from the Feng family sugar shop in Ningyang. You have eaten at this sugar shop before...

Queen's nephew...

King Yan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously confirmed: ...is it true?

The Empress Dowager asked back with a smile: My mother tasted it herself, is it still fake?

King Yan looked at the plate of pine nut candies, and his eyes faltered for a while.

Back then when he was ordered to go to war, he was caught by the war, and when he came back, his father was gone, really gone...

It was also at that time that he realized that Zhenzhen already had his own flesh and blood when he went out to fight, and then the fetus was moved for unknown reasons, resulting in premature delivery.

Just when he couldn't accept it and couldn't support it, his mother whispered a word in his ear.

But at that time, it was too late to verify the authenticity in person, so the imperial decree of Jiufan was sent to him.

This walk is eighteen years.

In the past eighteen years, he has thought about proving this more than once...

Before seeing it with his own eyes, he had enough reason to suspect that it was just a lie fabricated by his mother to comfort him.

But eighteen years have passed, is there any reason for mother to continue to deceive him with such things?

The queen mother smiled and said: Is it from Feng's sugar shop? It's right in front of you. Just taste it, and you'll know? The taste you remember in your heart can't be fooled.

The little maid on the side was a little dumbfounded.

It's fine that the Queen Mother loves candy herself, why is she still insisting on persuading His Royal Highness King Yan to eat it together? Could it be that the Queen Mother can feel more at ease when she eats candy?

Yan Wang stretched out his hand a little slowly, finally picked up a piece of candy, and put it into his mouth.

He doesn't like candy, but when he really eats it, he always stuffs it into his mouth.

This is the taste at this time...

Perhaps, he should try to meet Wu Shizi and ask some questions face to face...

...

After King Yan came out of the palace, he went straight back to Prince Yan's mansion.

Seeing his lord dismounting in front of the mansion gate, the attendant couldn't help asking: Won't lord go out for a walk?

The prince hasn't been back to the capital for so long, don't you want to look around?

Even if you don't drink alcohol, you should eat something at least - just now, you passed a pancake stall, dim sum shop, roast duck restaurant, beef soup restaurant, and many other delicious foods that he had never seen before... He was surprised, could the prince not smell those aromas? But if you smell it, how can you not be greedy?

I'm tired today, let's talk about it another day.

King Yan threw the reins in his hand to his followers, strode into the mansion, and said to the servants following behind him: You don't need to follow, I want to walk by myself.

The servant responded respectfully and stopped.
