Chapter 649: The County Lord's Letter
Zian didn't want to stay too long, so he said: "The emperor is busy with business, so I won't bother you. I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I want to talk to her, so I will leave first!"
The emperor said empathetically: "That's right, you have been going to Beimo for almost two months, go, she is now in Xiwei Palace, I will ask someone to take you there."
Zi'an could hear his barely audible slack, obviously, the emperor didn't want to face her either.
The emperor sent Lu Gonggong to come in and told Lu Gonggong to take her there.
Zi Anfu body, slowly backed out.
A row of pine trees were planted in front of the imperial study, growing very well, like a canopy, covering the scorching sun.
Zian walked through the pine forest and followed Eunuch Lu out.
Eunuch Lu was also obviously relieved, he said quietly: "I thought the princess would ask about the empress dowager."
Zi'an said: "These things are not for me to ask."
"This is the emperor's decision. It's really not for the courtiers to intervene. It's just that the emperor is really tired of everyone always asking about this matter, especially Prince Li, who has come here ten times for this matter."
Yes, although this matter has nothing to do with other people, how important is it to confer an empress dowager? Some old courtiers must ask clearly, and according to Prince Li's personality, if he doesn't tell a reason, he won't give up.
Zi'an didn't answer, but Lu Gonggong said, "Actually, the emperor's move is not absurd. The Empress Dowager Shengde married the late emperor as a concubine, and she was married to the late emperor. It was finally a couple with the first emperor, and after so many years, the empress dowager Shengde has reformed herself. When there is no empress dowager in the harem, it is... It is the emperor's filial piety, and it is reasonable of."
After hearing this, Zian really worked hard for Eunuch Lu. He probably couldn't even convince himself, because his tone was very difficult and his reasoning was not so clear. At best, he could only be regarded as a dead man Pot lid, hold on.
Especially when it came to the emperor's filial piety, he himself was speechless, because if he talked about filial piety, the emperor would definitely not support the concubine to be the empress dowager. Going against the late emperor's will, this is a great disobedience.
The emperor knew that he would be notorious, but he insisted on going his own way. It can be seen that he was really cornered and tried hard to get out of this predicament.
When he came to Xiwei Palace, Zi'an could only wait in the main hall, while Eunuch Lu went to find Danqing County Lord and Xia Lin.
After a while, the two followed Eunuch Lu out.
Xia Lin was very excited to see Zi'an, "Sister, you are back, Lin Lin misses you so much."
Zian looked at this younger brother with a smile, and saw that although he was in good spirits, his face was a little pale, so he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter with you? You eat and drink very well in the palace, why do you turn pale?"
Xia Lin laughed stupidly, "I miss Eldest Sister, I can't sleep at night."
"Fool!" Zian pinched his face, but seeing his eyes dodge, he knew in his heart that he had something to hide, so he didn't ask any further questions, just looked at County Master Danqing.
The county magistrate's complexion is also not good, and the fundus of his eyes is severely bruised, which shows that he is frightened in the palace.
She held Zian's hand and seemed very excited, "Just come back."
Outside the hall, Eunuch Lu sent away the waiters, and he stood outside waiting by himself.
Zi'an knew what he was thinking, and he probably hid this move from the emperor.
"How is mother?" Zi'an asked.
County Lord Danqing held Zian's hand all the way. Her hand was very cold, and her wide sleeves almost covered her hands. When Zian touched the paper, he stuffed the note into his sleeve pocket with her hand. .
"Okay, mother is fine, but you seem to have lost weight, isn't it very hard to go to Beimo?" The county magistrate's eyes were full of worry and uneasiness.
"No matter how hard it is, it's over." Zi'an said.
"That's good, that's good."
Zi'an knew that her mother probably wrote down everything she wanted to say, so she didn't ask other questions, but only asked Xia Lin, "Linlin, are you obedient in the palace? Did you upset the emperor?"
Xia Lin pursed her mouth, "Eldest sister is underestimating people, the emperor doesn't know how much he likes me."
Zian pinched his cheek, "Eat more and grow back the meat."
"Yeah, I eat meat every now and then." Xia Lin said with a smile, indescribably innocent and cute.
Zi'an couldn't help laughing, and looked at County Mistress Danqing, seeing that she was also looking at Xia Lin, but her eyes were completely worried.
Zi'an knew it well, and was also anxious to read the note her mother gave her. With Father Lu here, they couldn't say anything, so they stood up and said, "I have something to do in the house, so I have to go first."
The county magistrate stood up and looked at her eagerly, "Okay, pay attention on the road."
Xia Lin was unhappy, "How long have you been here? Are you leaving again?"
The county magistrate said: "Don't be childish, my sister still has things to do, and when she finishes, she will come to the palace to see us."
Xia Lin looked at Zi'an, feeling a little reluctant, "Linlin also wants to go back."
The county lord smiled palely, "Okay, after my sister has been busy for a while, I will pick you up."
Xia Lin shook Zian's arm, "I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, I want to go back."
Zi'an knew that the emperor would not let him leave the palace, and he couldn't take him away for the time being, so he said softly: "Okay, big sister has been busy for the past few days, and I will come to pick you up. You are obedient and listen to mother."
Seeing that Zi An said the same thing, Xia Lin said, "Then remember to come and pick me up."
Zian nodded, looking at the county master, he could only say a thousand words, "Take care, mother."
"Well, you too!" The county magistrate said softly with reddish eye circles.
Zi'an turned around, but Xia Lin suddenly grabbed her arm, "Sister, it's uncomfortable here..."
But Eunuch Lu quickly interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Master Xia, I will send you back."
Then, he said to Zi'an, "Princess, please."
Zian knew that he had to leave, otherwise, he might not be able to come here to see them in the future.
When he left Xiwei Palace, he saw Concubine Sun Fang'er in the courtyard.
Sun Fang'er came out from the side hall, followed by two guards.
When the masters of the palace go out, they always take the maids with them, but she takes the guards with them.
Zi'an knew her situation somewhat, but he was just slightly blessed, "See Concubine Zhaogui."
Sun Fang'er put her hands in her sleeves, the sunlight cast from the top of the tree, and the slender and long pine needles cast shadows like combs on her face, her eyes didn't even have a little sunlight, they were dark and damp, It was empty and tasteless.
"If you have any news about Rouyao, please let me know immediately." Sun Fang'er Xu is not used to using the word "Ben Gong", and I will come and go when I open or close my mouth.
"She will be fine." Zi'an said, not to comfort Sun Fang'er, but she firmly believed that Rou Yao would be fine.
Only then did Sun Fang'er have a hint of warmth in her eyes, "Yes, I know, so, if you have any news about her, please tell me."
After finishing speaking, she continued to wrap her sleeves and walked in front of Zian.
