Chapter 85 Meeting the Queen Mother
Unlike last time, this time Bai Ziyi did not stop Yu Wan and the others from looking around.
Yu Wan took a look by the way. Although the snow had melted away, the trees were still bare. However, the palace inside was truly magnificent, with various pavilions and pavilions decorated with carved beams and paintings, which were beautiful.
The roads are all paved with beige granite stones, wide and neat.
There were many beautiful palace maids and naughty eunuchs along the way. When they saw the seven brothers and sisters, their eyes all glowed green.
"Oh, whose child is this? It's so beautiful and cute."
"Yeah, look at the smallest one, it's so pink, I really want to pinch it."
"Shut up, didn't you see those were the eldest princess and Lord Zhan?"
A palace maid recognized them, and immediately the eunuchs and palace maids knelt down to greet them.
"Princess, Lord Zhan, please forgive me. These blind slaves have offended the young master by talking nonsense." A palace maid who looked a little older kowtowed and asked for forgiveness.
Ms. Feng frowned and said, "Everyone, get up."
Then he led a group of people away.
After walking for a mile, a magnificent palace - Fengyang Palace appeared in front.
Bai Ziyi saw the confusion on the faces of Feng's mother and son, and said, "This is the old witch's Palace of Fortune and Longevity."
Everyone suddenly realized that it was normal for such a coquettish bitch to live in such a palace.
Immediately, the maids and eunuchs came out from Fengyang Palace, lined up in two rows and knelt down: "I have seen the eldest princess fighting against the prince, the young master, and the young lady Wan'an."
Yu Wan: This scene is a bit different from the coquettish bitch that day.
Ms. Feng waved her hand gently: "Everyone, get up."
A nun in front said: "Princess, Prince Zhan, young master, young lady, please come in, the Queen Mother is already waiting."
Then he led everyone into the main hall, followed by two rows of palace maids and eunuchs.
In the main hall, a noble woman was sitting high. When she saw Mrs. Feng coming in, she ignored the help from the nuns and got down from the chair. He walked quickly with bumpy steps, opened his arms, hugged the tearful Feng who entered the palace, and cried loudly: "My son, where have you been all these years?"
Women are really made of water. The two women hugged each other and cried for a long time before reluctantly letting go. The Queen Mother stroked Feng's face and said distressedly: "Why are you so thin? He is no better than your imperial brother."
Yu Wanhan, if you met Feng a few months ago, what would your name be? Now Feng has grown back almost as much as usual, and if she has more flesh, she will be fat.
But as for children, no matter how fat they are, it is normal in the eyes of their parents, which means they have been raised well.
Fengshi sighed: "Mother, I'm fine. Come and see my children."
The Queen Mother patted her forehead: "Oh, you said this old woman from the Ai family is really old. Come on, let the Ai family see her grandchildren. Oh, the King of War is here too."
Bai Ziyi twitched his mouth. He greeted the Queen Mother and left the hall.
Yu Haoran and his brothers and sisters stood in front of the Queen Mother. They all knelt down and kowtowed: "I have met the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother looked at the row of pink and jade-carved dolls and was extremely happy. They were not like the eldest prince, who was sick and unpleasant at first sight.
"Okay, okay, the grandchildren of the Ai family, get up quickly, get up quickly," he said as if he was about to help Yu Haoran, his brother and sister.
The seven brothers and sisters stood up and stepped aside. Immediately, a palace maid had prepared stools for them to sit down.
"Look, the imperial grandmother was so happy that she forgot about it. Come on, let's go to the side hall. Food is set up there." She said, leading Feng to the side hall.
Yu Wan saw the Queen Mother holding Feng's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Feng would disappear again.
In the side hall, there was a large round table filled with fruits and pastries.
Yu Wan took a look and saw that there were quite a lot of fruits on the table. There are such a variety of fruits at this time, which shows that the Queen Mother is really attentive.
And those pastries are exquisitely made and full of fragrance, which makes people very appetizing as soon as they smell them.
"Eat, children. This was prepared by the imperial kitchen in the morning. I'm afraid you might be hungry."
After saying that, she let go of Feng and came to hold Xiao Qi's hand: "Oh, my dear grandmother, come on, come on, eat quickly."
The Queen Mother carried Xiao Qi to the table, brought over a plate of fragrant pastries, and handed Xiao Qi a pair of chopsticks.
Xiao Qi glanced at Mrs. Feng, and when she nodded, he picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks, looked around, and raised it to the Queen Mother's mouth: "Grandma, you eat."
"Oh, my little darling is so good, my grandma will eat it." The Queen Mother ate it in one gulp with tears in her eyes. How many years had she been alone in the imperial mausoleum with no one to talk to. As soon as she came back, there were so many good grandchildren and they were so filial. The Queen Mother was extremely moved.
She had to do everything by herself there, and the old witch didn't provide her with anything. All she provided was the knowledge from the guards that the emperor was ill and that he would die soon.
She didn't believe it, and knew that it was the old witch who had done this to make her feel uncomfortable.
Anyway, she just listened. Fortunately, she was a hard-working person and learned to do everything by herself. After more than ten years, she still managed to survive, waiting for the day when her son would take her back.
She is unfortunate, but she is also the lucky one. Her sons and daughters are all good, and she has so many good grandchildren.
The Queen Mother wiped her eyes and looked at Yu Wan: "Are you Xiao Si'er? Your uncle the Emperor talks about you all the time. If it weren't for our Xiao Si'er, our family would probably have met your maternal grandfather. Come on, Come here and let the Aijia have a look."
Yu Wan stepped forward and called out obediently: "Grandma the Queen."
The Queen Mother's eyes were wet again. How did such a little girl deal with those wolves and tigers?
She took Yu Wan's hand and stroked her head lovingly: "You look just like your mother when she was little. Oh, and Xiaoliu, come, come to the Imperial Grandmother."
The Queen Mother waved to Xiaoliu, and Xiaoliu took Feng's hand and walked to the Queen Mother, raised her little face, and called crisply: "Imperial Grandmother."
The Queen Mother's face relaxed a lot after she called: "Hey, my little darlings, look at you two sisters, hey! You look so much like your Imperial Grandfather. If he were here and saw you, I don't know how much he would love you."
The Queen Mother wiped her tears, and the deep longing on her face was beyond words.
Feng stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother wipe away her tears.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Hey, I'm really old! In the future, you should come to the palace more often to see me, an old woman. Come on, eat quickly, eat quickly."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was just an ordinary old lady, the brothers and sisters no longer felt restrained as when they first arrived, and slowly took the cakes to eat.
Yu Wan tasted it and it was not bad. She suddenly remembered that she had not eaten the cakes she bought from Master Shen, and had kept them in the space and forgotten about them.
