The night was almost over, and all the ministers and royal relatives and nobles went out of the palace one after another, and Queen Zhou also took her two concubines and two Chang Zai to go back to keep vigil. Because I was afraid that everyone would not be able to survive and go to sleep, I made strong tea to refresh myself.

Su Youyi usually goes back to the Imperial Garden after the palace banquet, but today she has not left for a long time, and Yuan Zhi can see that she has something to say. This was to take advantage of the fact that all the people around were scattered, and only then did he come to her ear and say, "Queen Mother, do you have anything to tell your sons today?" ”

Seeing that she shook her head and didn't speak, Yuan Zhi looked at Ji Yushen who was following her, but the latter only shook his head, seeing that he really didn't know.

Under normal circumstances, Ji Yushen would tell him that he was not in a hurry, but today he shook his head and said that he didn't know, so he really didn't know.

When the palace people came to collect it, Su Youyi made a look, and he immediately understood that he would say to the people below: "Let's all retreat when we clean up." ”

The people below answered, "Yes." Then he gathered up his things and walked out one by one.

She turned her head again and whispered to Ji Yushen: "Yushen, you also go out and wait for me first, I have something to say to Yuanzhi." ”

The latter's face was pulled, and her face was immediately full of grievances, but there were doubts in her eyes when she pursed her lips, but she didn't say much, just glanced at him. He didn't say much, but walked towards the door with his hands behind his back.

When the surroundings were empty, Yuan Zhi turned around and asked her: "Queen Mother, what is mysterious and mysterious, and you don't answer three questions?" ”

"The mourning family was thinking about how to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to notice it first." Su Youyi opened her mouth for the first time from the time he asked.

Yuanzhi thought that she had something big to say, and his heart tightened: "Queen Mother, just tell your son, and your son will definitely be taught." ”

"Don't be nervous." Su Youyi breathed a deep sigh of relief and just said, "Lingnan is like spring all year round, I don't know what the scene is now." ”

Yuanzhi didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while, but felt that it was a little strange for her to suddenly mention Lingnan, so she just asked: "Queen Mother, if you miss your hometown, it's okay to go back and see, if you are afraid of your identity, you will go all the way to visit without letting people know." ”

She shook her head and said with a shallow smile: "It is the shortest waterway to go back to Lingnan from the capital, and it will take at least more than half a year, and I don't know how long it will take to watch the scenery along the way, so it is very laborious to go back and forth." I miss my hometown, but I don't miss the scenery along the way—"

Yuan Zhi understood these words slightly, and asked with surprise on his face: "Queen Mother, are you - want to go back to Lingnan?" ”

Su Youyi looked at him with clear eyes: "Yes, if I want to go back to Lingnan, you are alone in the court, can you stand it?" ”

"Queen Mother-" When she said this, Yuan Zhi thought deeply, and for a while he only felt a little uncertain, not sure if she left, whether he would be able to grasp all the big and small matters in the court in the future.

He frowned and asked, "Is it Mr. Ji who wants the queen mother to go back?" After saying this, he stood up again, with a slight anger on his face, "He is back, why do you want to abduct even my mother?" ”

Of course, these words are not true.

For him, Ji Yushen is his father and teacher, and he respects and worships this person. But one day, this person was going to take away the queen mother who had been with him for more than ten years, which was somewhat inconsistent.

Su Youyi sighed secretly, got up and came to his side and patted him on the shoulder: "It's his idea that is good, but it comes from my expectations." ”

Yuanzhi's body stiffened a little and slowly turned around, looking at her fixedly: "Queen Mother, isn't your expectation to leave us without children and grandchildren?" ”

"Motoji." She whispered, "It's not that I'm leaving you, it's just that I want to go back." For more than ten years, I didn't have the slightest consideration when I entered the palace, but I jumped from the little palace maid to the position of the queen mother in a daze, and as soon as I left Lingnan, I left for more than ten years. ”

She looked confused, "How many dreams of the fence outside the door, the clothes are dirty and worn, but the smile on his face is simple, so I want to go back, back to the original place." But—"

She came back to her senses and looked at Na Yuanzhi intently, "I will still come back to see you, I am still the queen mother, and you are still my son." Nothing has changed except that I am far away. ”

"Then why did you come to ask me, you are the queen mother, if you want to go back, go back, ask me what to do?"

In Yuanzhi's heart, since she would ask like this, she planned to give up everything in the palace, including the title of the queen mother, including the son and daughter-in-law of this palace.

It's not that she will come back as she said, but I'm afraid that this "Queen Mother" will not come back after she leaves.

But in fact, he was really wrong.

Su Youyi knew what he was thinking, so she just sat down slowly.

"I will ask you, I am worried that you, the emperor, are not mature, if I encounter some problems one day and I don't make up my mind by your side, what should I do if the sky is high and the earth is far away? If you can take on the big responsibility, I can leave with peace of mind, and I don't have to be by your side. ”

Seeing that his suspicions gradually dissipated, she said again, "It's not that I won't come back, nor will I abandon you and abandon your country, but I will come back to see you, and when I come back, I will wear a phoenix robe or your queen mother." ”

Falling such a sentence, Yuanzhi's mood was put down for a while, but he was also worried about what Su Youyi had just said, so he said slowly: "Forgive Erchen for bluntly saying that Erchen really can't guarantee that he can take on a big responsibility, and Erchen thinks that I still have something to learn." ”

She laughed, "What you want to learn doesn't mean I can teach you." Yuanzhi, let's go to spring when we are free after the New Year. ”

……

I don't know how long it took for Su Youyi to walk out of the Qianqing Palace, only to see Ji Yushen standing under the porch looking at the wind and snow fluttering in front of him, a gust of wind came, and the fluff on his red collar was fluttering messily.

She walked over and stood beside him, and before she saw him look at herself, she said, "You're standing here tonight?" The wind and snow were so big, my face was frozen and paralyzed, and I didn't know how to find a warmer place to go. ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to cover his cold cheeks, which seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

He didn't say a word, he just said, "Wait for you." Then he took her hand down, held it in the hot palm of his hand, and said, "You're quite cold, let's go late at night." ”

"Hmm!" Su Youyi smiled like a flower, although she saw that his face was full of frost, but there was faint warmth in it, and she only felt that the warmth in her heart was in her hands.
