Chapter 244
It was rare that Yungui Palace was willing to open the palace door for her. When Yuan Zhao was happy, he wanted to reward the chamberlain for the first time. But just as he was about to put his hand into his sleeve, the little chamberlain bowed and stepped back for a few steps, then turned around and left silently.
.
She didn't even need to ask for help, let alone accept her reward.
Fortunately, she is an upright person and does not accept gifts, otherwise Yuan Zhao would be embarrassed today. The narrow sleeves she wore today had nothing inside. Not to mention the sleeve bags, there was nothing else on her body except a waist badge and a piece of ink blue and white jade.
things.
She never takes those yellow and white things with her when she goes out, while Qinghe is waiting outside the palace. She is poor and has nothing, so the servant should leave early to avoid embarrassing scenes for both parties.
"Emperor...Taihe and the emperor's sister?" Yuan Zhao was sweating. The girl who had been waiting outside the palace gate timidly came over. Seeing her smiling and nodding, he quickly curtsied and saluted with joy, "Jingping has met the emperor's sister. The emperor's sister morning
install."
"My sisters, don't be so unfamiliar, just call me Ajie." Yuan Zhao said gently.
God knows how much she hates being called sister to the royal family. In the past, she deliberately called Princess Le'an sister, just to disgust her, but she didn't expect that today there would be a reversal.
Hearing the shouts of the emperor’s sister and the emperor’s sister all day long made me feel very tired.
After calling her for a long time, for fear of accidentally revealing my disgust towards the royal family, I still let the other party call me "Auntie" which is pleasant to my ears.
"Sister!" After receiving her approval, Princess Jingping was so happy that her eyebrows curled up and she smiled sweetly, showing a few small white teeth. "Sister, come in quickly, my concubine is in good spirits today and has woken up."
"What disease does my aunt have? How long has she been ill? What did the medical officer say?" Yuan Zhao walked into the hall and asked calmly.
After fifteen years, she once again stepped into the Yungui Palace in her memory. She was surprised that her heart was as calm as dead water, with no ups and downs.
"The palace medical officer came to see her and said that she was too sad and didn't want to eat. She needed to be persuaded... But no matter what Jingping said, the mother-in-law couldn't listen." Princess Jingping said guiltily, "Later, the doctor was also invited.
Come……"
They all said it was no serious problem, and the prescriptions they prescribed were mainly to soothe the liver and relieve depression.
However, Princess Yue's condition did not improve. She took a little medicine and a little food, and barely ate two more bites before she vomited everything. This situation lasted for more than a month, and Princess Yue, who was originally slightly plump, saw her body vomiting day by day.
Lose weight.
This frightened Princess Jingping and the people waiting around her, and they quickly reported it to His Majesty.
His Majesty was grateful for Concubine Yue's deep love for the late emperor, and sent a few words of greetings on his behalf. He also told her that he would summon Princess Taihe to the palace for a visit as soon as she returned from the eastern suburbs. He asked her to look away and take good care of herself, so as not to be in trouble.
Scared my niece.
Unfortunately, these words had little effect. Concubine Yue still had no appetite and was feeling lethargic.
Yuan Zhao listened to Jingping's narration and guessed that the new emperor did not seem to have any intention of killing her aunt, maybe her aunt was really ill.
While thinking about it, Yuan Zhao followed Princess Jingping's guidance and approached the familiar room step by step, uncovering the memory hidden deep inside...
"Zhao'er, aunt, I'm sorry for you..."
The beautiful woman's warm embrace and suppressed and fuzzy sobs and apologetic sounds, are they a deep love for the late emperor? Is it because my aunt has refused to see her for many years to avoid suspicion, or to prevent people from the royal family from using her to blackmail her niece?
The lingering questions in my mind were instantly dissipated when I saw the silver-haired woman lying quietly on the couch.
I remember that a young chamberlain told her that since there was a little princess in Yungui Palace, Yue Niangniang became younger and more radiant day by day.
She had doubted it at that time, but now that she saw it, it might be true.
Not only is my aunt not emaciated, but she is even more energetic than she was in deep memory. The inner room is warm and fragrant, with brocade embroidered screens, which shows that the royal family has not treated her poorly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The maids are light on their feet and serve attentively.
At this moment, a female official on duty in the inner room saw Princess Jingping leading a young woman in, so she leaned on the couch and whispered:
"Your Majesty, Princess Taihe is here."
Taihe...
Concubine Yue slowly opened her eyes, turned her head slightly and glanced towards the room. A clear figure came into view. When she looked over, the man had lifted up his robe and knelt down. He bowed his head and bowed.
"Niece Yuan Zhao, meet my aunt."
Zhao'er, staring at the familiar junior, Princess Yue's cold eyes gradually filled with tears, and finally a line of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes... It was so similar, so much like her father, so much like her heroic Yantang. Brother.
Her cousins! They are all gone.
The word Taihe made her return to Beicang in a daze, where she saw the heroic men and charming sisters in the clan chatting and laughing happily...
"Mother Concubine," Princess Jingping couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this, and stepped forward to wipe her tears and comfort her softly, "Mother Concubine, it's a rare visit from my sister, you should be happy. I thought you woke up early in the morning, and got up I didn’t want to lie down anymore.”
Ha, yes, you should be happy. Concubine Yue twitched the corners of her lips, as if laughing at herself:
"I'm happy, of course I'm happy, it's time to get up. Shangyi, help me get up..."
There are distinguished guests coming to Yungui Palace. How can the host lie down? The weather seems to be good today, so she wants to sit outside. After hearing this, the female officer Shangyi quickly asked the maids to push the wooden wheelchair.
The wooden wheelchair is a replica of the one Yuan Zhao used to ride in when he was a child. It is almost a must-have item in the palace.
At the master's command, the whole palace seemed to come alive, with maids coming and going. Princess Jingping personally brought water to the concubine to rinse her mouth, and dressed the concubine who rarely got up.
While he was busy, he left Yuan Zhao aside.
However, she didn't think much about it and stood silently observing. The maids were attentive, including the female officer Shang Yi. Shang Yi is an official name, and generally speaking, people who are close to them should call each other's names to show intimacy.
But although her aunt's attitude towards them was gentle, she gave them the impression of being cold and not very close to them.
There was no one who knew her well in such a huge palace. Only when she faced Princess Jingping did her aunt have some warmth in her eyes.
Yuan Zhao lowered his eyelids and waited patiently.
There were so many people in the palace, but no one paid attention to her embarrassing situation, and no one invited her to sit and wait for a while in the side hall... Tsk, is she thinking too much, or are the palace people in front of her stupid and do not understand the way of hospitality?
Finally, it was the concubine who signaled to Princess Jingping, who then realized her disrespect and quickly came over to apologize:
"Sister, my mother-in-law still needs a moment. My sister will accompany you to the side hall to sit for a while, or to stroll in the garden?"
"There's no rush, I'll go shopping with my aunt later." Yuan Zhao smiled gently, and then said softly, "I haven't visited the palace for many years to pay my respects, and my aunt was angry and deliberately left me cold. My sister just went ahead and didn't disturb my aunt's interest. .”
Hearing Princess Jingping chuckle, she bent her knees slightly and returned to the concubine to serve her carefully.
Concubine Yue smiled at her, a loving mother and a filial daughter, warm and harmonious. If they could always get along so harmoniously, it really didn't matter whether Yuan Zhao came to say hello or not.
Half a cup of tea later, the dignified Princess Yue was sitting in a wooden wheelchair and was pushed under the eaves of the corridor by Princess Jingping to bathe in the morning light.
She waved away, leaving only Princess Jingping to make tea for the two of them. Princess Yue stared at the flowers and plants in the courtyard with a cold attitude:
"We haven't seen you for many years. Zhao'er is becoming more and more promising."
