Chapter 90: The Sorrow of the Second Half of Life

"The concubine and His Royal Highness the crown prince are one step ahead, and I regret that after reading the imperial grandmother, I will also go to see the queen mother." She smiled slightly, lowered her head and made a gesture to them.

"The princess is really reasonable." A folk princess is a folk princess, too humble. She held her head full of golden hairpins high, and walked forward very gracefully.

"Congratulations to both." Mu Lingyi opened his mouth coldly, this feeling of surrender and subordination was what he hated the most, and now he had to bear it with his Yan'er, which was really distressing.

Yan Le's little finger quietly hooked Mu Lingyi's hand in front of his sleeve, smiled playfully at him, and straightened up after seeing the concubine and the prince leave.

"Princess Lingxi, Commander Mu, please continue to walk with the slave maid." The palace maid is very competent to speak.

"Okay," Yan Le looked at the palace maid's extremely cautious words and deeds, and sympathized with her: Such a woman in the mood for herself in this palace is always suppressing the agility of youth, which is really a sad life.

There was no stumbling on the road, and they quickly walked into the path to Qianning Palace, Yan Le observed the surrounding grass very carefully, it was already daytime, and the scene inside the grass was clearly visible, all of them were next to each other, leaving a small dirt road empty. Yesterday's water-soaked lawn has also become dry and hard, so you shouldn't get your shoes dirty if you step on it again.

Finally, when they arrived at the place where she had fallen last night, Yan Le and Mu Lingyi went to look at the strange rockery almost at the same time.

"We know the way, thank you, let's go by ourselves." She wanted to check there, but the palace maid was not suitable, so she could only let her leave first.

"This is what the slave and maid should do, the princess doesn't have to say thanks, the slave and maid retreat first."

"I'm sorry for you." Mu Lingyi turned sideways to give way to her, and only spoke when she saw her walking away, "Yan'er, this was the place yesterday." ”

"I wanted to go down last night to have a look, but the grass was too wet and soft, and the grass is normal today." She picked up twigs from the ground and stuck them in the lawn.

"It's autumn, and in order to protect this lawn, we will irrigate it with nutrients every night." He listened carefully to see if anyone was approaching.

"Let's go, we have to check this place without others knowing, otherwise we will startle the snake." If you want to let the person who trades here know that he has been inspected here, then he will inevitably change places, and it seems that it is appropriate to do things when the moon is dark and the wind is high.

"Yan'er, don't worry, I will check every suspicious place tonight." The palace is huge, and there's more to check than that.

"Okay, but you have to be careful, don't take any chances." She was inexplicably worried that the current situation was that the enemy was dark and clear, and it was very easy for people to fall into the trap.

"Okay." Mu Lingyi gently responded to her and soothed her heart.

The two of them came to the palace of the queen mother very quickly, and the palace maids in the old man's palace followed her, especially friendly, and saw that it was Yan Le and Mu Lingyi, and led them without delay. The Queen Mother had just gotten up from a nap and was lying in the sun on a chaise longue in the courtyard.

"Grandma Huang is so comfortable!" Yan Le walked briskly in front of her with a playful smile.

"Mu Lingyi has seen the Queen Mother." Now the queen mother is also an elder who needs to be respected by him, and Yan'er's family is also his family.

"Oh, my little Lingxi, you really came to see the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother thought she had to wait in line for you, Ling Yi is right, don't see outside, come and sit." The old man was very energetic, she sat up straight and waved her hand to the two of them.

Yan Le took Mu Lingyi's hand and sat beside her, while she sat on the chair closest to the Queen Mother, she squinted because the sun was too bright, and said in a brisk tone: "Grandma Huang is the first, I came to see you first, but Grandma Huang I don't have any tokens, so Ling Yi brought me here, but you almost couldn't see me." She wanted to bargain for it.

"How can I say it, I almost can't see it, someone stopped my little spirit?" The Queen Mother said unhappily with a wrinkled face.

"The palace is strict, you can't come in at will, and the guards only do things according to the regulations." She said casually, her eyes deliberately floating, and finally landed on the pastry on the stone table, "Grandma Huang, can I eat that?" ”

"Of course Xiao Lingxi can eat it, Grandma Huang asked Xiao Lu to get a few more, there are many kinds of pastries in the palace, you can try them all, it's delicious." The Queen Mother was very happy to help her get it.

Yan Le got up and took two pieces by himself, first one for the imperial grandmother who stretched out her hand, and then one for Ling Yi, who was watching her quietly, his eyes were extremely gentle, and his voice was extremely soft and said to her: "Yan'er is good to eat, I don't like sweets." ”

"Well~ Okay, I'll make a note of it," she nodded very seriously, and sat down to bring the pastry to her mouth.

The queen mother looked at the sweet picture of the two of them on the side, remembering that Xiao Qi came to find her last night, and she wanted to ask the emperor to regret the marriage and give her Mu Lingyi as a concubine. Ling Xi has suffered so much since she was a child, and finally came back, and she was still injured, and now she has found a lover, how can she ruin her happiness? She looked at her hand holding the pastry, and looked at it suspiciously: "Xiao Lingxi, why are your hands so red?" ”

"Grandma Huang, this hand accidentally rubbed the rouge, so it's powdery, I'll wash it off later." Her mind was spinning and telling white lies.

Mu Lingyi's eyes flashed with distress, she was still frowning in pain when she helped her with medicine in the morning, and now she comforted others with an indifferent look, his face was really kind.

"But your pink little face didn't have rouge gouache, where did you rub it? That's right," the queen mother remembered that she said just now that someone stopped her from entering the palace, "The imperial grandmother will let Xiaolu run to the palace gate later, and if any guard dares to stop you in the future, he will not give the mourning family face." ”

"Okay, Grandma Huang, I'm not afraid of having a token or not, and if I want to come to Grandma Huang, I'll fly quickly." It's cheap, and Yan Le is very happy.

"Flying here, Xiao Lingxi came back after learning a skill." Her active personality is exactly the same as when she was a child.

"Grandma Huang praised it." She smiled very happily, these years were so easy for herself, and she relied on practicing martial arts to get rid of empty memories.

Mu Lingyi felt Yan Le's thoughts wandering, his hand gently stroked her long loose hair, and explained her softly: "Yan Er's sex, if she walks the rivers and lakes, she will be a heroine." ”

His very low voice came into her ears, and she learned to say something that only the two of them could hear, "Then we are chivalrous." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and heard Xiao Lu behind him slowly come over and say, "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the queen mother has arrived at Muci Palace, she asked people to pass it on, and she will come to see you later." ”

The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she replied in a low voice: "I know, let people comfort and comfort her when they go back, and let the past pass, and look at it later." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Xiao Lu took the order very obediently and left.

Yan Le frowned slightly and hesitated, she looked back at Mu Lingyi, he must have thought the same thing as himself, although it was a good thing for the queen to return to the palace, but her departure also took away everyone's sadness, and now she is back, along with the sad memories. Grandma Huang was the most affected, and her whole mood became depressed.

"Grandma Huang, it's uncomfortable for you to sit, otherwise change to a chair that can be backed," Yan Le tried to distract her.

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at Yan Le's face that was very close to her, she gently hugged her into her arms, her voice trembling, "Lingxi, fortunately you're back, you know?" Grandma Huang has always felt that she is extremely lucky, the first emperor treated me very well, I went from the concubine to the queen and then to the queen mother, the process is extremely smooth, the emperor and your mother are also extremely harmonious, I have such a difficult royal life, but God has repeatedly let me face life and death, the emperor left early, you are missing, the fourth child is gone, the queen can't accept it, desperately make trouble, the mourning family really feels, the luck of his life has been spent, and the second half of his life will be so sad. ”

She began to sob, began to cry, and finally relied on Yan Le to support her.

Yan Le only listened to her words quietly, she didn't think much about it, she only listened to her words, and tears flowed involuntarily.

"Grandma Huang, everything will get better, don't think too much." Fortunately, her voice was as usual, which did not worry Ling Yi.

"Okay, Lingxi is right, Lingxi is back, and everything will get better." The elderly queen mother said in a glutinous voice.

"Yes, so don't be unhappy with the imperial grandmother, don't go there to think about it when you meet the queen mother, she is the most bitter." She wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately, and made sure that the imperial grandmother and Ling Yi couldn't see it, so she helped the imperial grandmother who was next to her arms.

"Lingxi is really sensible, the imperial grandmother is really going to repay her vows, I used to take your mother often, it is better to set a day for Lingxi to go with the imperial grandmother to worship the Bodhisattva."

"Okay, Lingxi will accompany the imperial grandmother." She comforted the royal grandmother, as long as she was happy.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Qi's child is more willful, you have to take care of it, her mother can't take care of her outside the palace all the year round, so the emperor and I have been too indulgent with her in the past two years, don't mind her thoughts about Ling Yi." She didn't want a gap or feud between these two lovely children.

"It's okay, Grandma Huang," she remembered the fact that Ling Yi couldn't change it, and she was not qualified to erase it, as long as she didn't do anything too much to rob Ling Yi, she would never give in to Ling Yi's own point.

"Okay, Ling Xi is really good," the Queen Mother pondered whether to tell the story, and she thought with her head slightly down.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Yan Le looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously, slightly entangled.

The Queen Mother looked at her extraordinarily delicate face in the sun, and finally said, "Lingxi, does your brother have someone he likes, so he has never been clinging." ”

"It's... Grandma Huang, I don't know, but my brother doesn't like his cousin, so he doesn't want to wronged his cousin and him, and people who don't like each other won't be happy together. Yan Le looked a little embarrassed, she hoped that the imperial grandmother would understand.

"Alas, you are not unreasonable, but if Yi Ning is so good, is it not possible?" She still wants to bring the two grandchildren together.

"Grandma Huang, this matter is up to them to solve by themselves, Ling Xi just wants to beg Grandma Huang selfishly, if my brother doesn't want to, please ask Grandma Huang and the emperor not to force him." If she understands her will, it is almost irreversible, otherwise Liang Yixuan would not be like that.

"Over the years, we have knocked on him many times, but he refused, and first left his sister if he didn't go home and couldn't get home, so the will has never been made." The Queen Mother's regret was fully revealed.

Yan Le frowned slightly, the only bad thing about coming back was that he forced his brother, it seems that he has to talk to his brother, he can't protect his happiness, he has to let him make it clear as soon as possible, and he will find happiness as soon as possible without burden.

"Grandma Huang, let's not talk about this, by the way, aren't the fifth and sixth princes in the capital?" She wondered how the emperor could agree to his prince running around?
