"If there is nothing wrong with the Queen Mother, I will go back first." Jiang You didn't want to stay here and have too much communication with the Queen Mother. "My father is not at home, and I still have to take care of the house, so I won't accompany the Queen Mother.
I’m a queen.”
"What's the rush?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, "The Ai family has been staying in the palace all day long, but they always feel too bored, and they also want to find someone to spend more time with them. Since you are here today, then stay with the Ai family in the palace.
Bar!"
Jiangyou: "..."
Do you want her to accompany you?
"Empress Dowager, I'm afraid that's not possible. I'm still a gentleman from Tianwen Academy. I have to teach every day. I'm afraid I won't have time to stay in the palace for a long time." Jiang You refused.
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother seemed to have known that she would refuse, and said directly: "The Ai family knows, so when it was announced that you would enter the palace, the Ai family had already sent someone to the academy to ask for leave for you."
Jiangyou: "..."
"As for your Luo Mansion, the Ai family has also sent someone to deliver the letter. You will stay in Cining Palace today and go back early tomorrow morning. Your mission today is to accompany the Ai family." The Queen Mother gave Jiang You a message that she could not refuse.
Tasks were arranged.
Jiang You was speechless after hearing this. Isn't this Queen Mother too evil?
It actually cut off all her escape routes!
Jiang You had no choice but to agree: "That's it... thank you, Queen Mother, for your love."
"You wait here for a while, Aijia goes to change clothes, and you will have breakfast with Aijia later." The Queen Mother asked Jiang You to wait here, and she called two maids to accompany her back to the bedroom to change clothes.
Jiang You was really tempered by the Queen Mother, and she didn't know what the Queen Mother meant, but the Queen Mother said everything, so naturally she couldn't refuse.
She did not wait in the main hall, but left the main hall and waited in the courtyard outside.
Although the main hall was empty and contained a statue of Guanyin, she always felt that the furnishings inside had a strong sense of dissonance. She didn't know where the feeling came from, but she felt a little uncomfortable standing in it.
When we got to the yard, I actually felt that I would feel better.
The Queen Mother came out after a while.
She had changed out of her simple clothes and put on a gorgeous outfit, belonging to the Queen Mother.
She walked towards Jiang You and said with a smile: "It's a little stuffy in the house. You might as well get some fresh air outside. Come over and have breakfast with Ai's family."
"Yes." Jiang You responded and walked towards the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's breakfast had been prepared long ago, and it was all vegetarian.
The Queen Mother asked Jiang You to sit down together and ate with her.
For Jiang You, looking at these vegetarian meals, she really didn't have much appetite. But the Queen Mother said so, so she could only eat a little.
"May I ask the Queen Mother...what do you want me to do with you?" Jiang You asked.
The Queen Mother said with gentle eyes: "It's nothing, just sitting and walking with the Ai family. The Ai family has never been accompanied by anyone in this deep palace, but every time I see you, I always feel like I'm seeing you.
When I was young, I thought it would be great if you could accompany my family."
Jiang You was speechless. The Queen Mother's words really didn't sound like a Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother retreated, leaving her and Jiang You alone in the room.
"The Ai family would also like to thank you. At the last birthday party, thanks to you finding a picture of colorful phoenixes playing with butterflies for the Ai family, the Ai family felt relieved." When the Queen Mother talked about this matter, she was really very happy.
Thank you Jiangyou.
Jiang You smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. It was just a coincidence. It should be done."
"The Ai family likes your indifferent temperament." The Queen Mother smiled again and said, "If the Ai family had half the courage you had back then, they would not be trapped in this deep palace now and spend the rest of their lives remembering the past.
.”
Jiangyou said nothing.
The Queen Mother seemed to be caught up in distant memories: "Ai Jia and Wang Yun were childhood sweethearts and grew up together. Ai Jia also thought that she would marry him in the future and grow old with him. But things in the world are unpredictable. I am sad.
The Aijia family suffered an accident and everything was lost. The Aijia couldn't bear to accept it! How could they not avenge the family? It was the Aijia who gave up on him, the Aijia chose the road of entering the palace, and the Aijia... also...
I know that after making that choice, the Ai family left Wang Yun with endless sorrow."
Jiang You didn't expect that the Queen Mother would suddenly talk about her past and everything about that painting.
The Queen Mother sighed and continued: "The Ai family has succeeded. With the ability of the Ai family, we can win over the heart of the late emperor and gain his favor. What's the difficulty? But the Ai family's ambitions are not here. After entering the palace, Ai family
The Aijia wanted more, they wanted supreme power, and they wanted to control their own lives. Later, the Aijia met Wang Yun. He originally did not want to become an official in the court, but in order to meet the Aijia, he decided to
He took part in the imperial examination, won the first prize, and became an official. He finally met the Ai family, so what if he did? Everything can't be returned..."
Jiang You saw tears in the Queen Mother's eyes and took a piece of handkerchief and handed it to the Queen Mother.
No matter what the queen mother's intentions were, since she wanted to talk, she could just listen silently.
The Queen Mother took it, silently wiped away her tears, and said: "Wang Yun resigned not long after meeting Aijia. He actually asked Aijia if he regretted it, and Aijia said, no regrets. In fact,
He regretted it. If the Aijia had given up the family hatred, maybe everything would have been different. He died in depression, but until his death, he still remembered the past with the Aijia... The Aijia has always felt heartbroken.
, I’m very sad, but what I’ve lost can never come back.”
"Dead people cannot be resurrected." Jiang You said softly, "Although he missed you and became ill and died in depression, he has loved you deeply all his life. The Queen Mother feels ashamed of him, but for him, love is
You are his mission. He doesn't care about all your choices. He is just afraid that he will sink deeper and deeper and that his existence will affect you, so he resigned and left. That is the greatest protection for you."
When Jiang You heard the Queen Mother talk about Wang Yun, what she could feel was Wang Yun's strong love for the Queen Mother.
Wang Yun loved the Queen Mother all his life, even if he died for the Queen Mother in the end, he had no regrets.
It is also a very happy thing for the Queen Mother to have someone who loves her so much.
The Queen Mother smiled unconsciously and said: "Really? The Ai family also knows that he is trying to protect the Ai family. But none of the things the Ai family did was considered for him. Is his choice... worth it?"
"
"When you love someone, you don't care whether it's worth it or not." Jiang You frowned, "Queen Mother, as long as you understand that he loves you with his life, that's enough."
"Love the Aijia with all my life... Haha, it's true!" the Queen Mother said with great emotion.
Unknowingly, she actually said these words to Jiang You that she had never said to anyone else.
"You go out for a walk with the Ai family again!" The Queen Mother calmed down and asked Jiang You to go out for a walk with her again.
