Chapter 538 The Queen Mother is Crazy
The moonlight is bright and the birthday banquet is in full swing.
The Emperor of Zhou sat at the top seat, and everyone took turns to congratulate him, saying auspicious words and presenting him with rare treasures they had found. It was a very festive occasion.
Tangli was two months pregnant. Wei Qing was afraid that she was tired, so he reached out his hand and let her lean on his arms so that she could sit more comfortably.
Halfway through the birthday banquet, the emperor seemed a little tired and left accompanied by Concubine Liang.
A gloomy look flashed across Concubine Wang's face.
The eldest princess seemed to want to speak to Concubine Wang, and at this moment, a servant came close to her ear and whispered something.
The eldest princess's expression changed and she stood up and left.
Wei Qing saw all these people's actions.
He lowered his head and looked at his wife's soft face: "Wife, do you want to walk around?"
The birthday banquet has not yet ended, and fireworks will be set off at an auspicious time. People can only leave after the fireworks are set off.
Here, you can take a walk in Taiji Palace.
It's tiring to sit all the time.
Tang Li nodded and was carried up by her husband.
Wei Qing put his arm around her waist, left his seat, and walked towards the garden next to him.
There are many red lanterns hanging in the garden, which are bright and cheerful.
The two walked hand in hand along the path.
Tang Li knew that her husband had something on his mind, and it was related to the Queen Mother...
She raised her head and was about to speak when a figure suddenly jumped out from the woods and hugged Wei Qing.
"A Qing! A Qing!"
Tangli was startled by the cry.
Looking at the woman holding Wei Qing, her hair was gray and her face was covered with wrinkles. She looked very old.
She was dressed elegantly and had a graceful look on her face, but her behavior was a little strange, as if she was a little crazy.
Tang Li looked at Wei Qing and saw him staring at the woman with a moved expression, a mixture of surprise, joy and sadness.
Could it be...
"Aqing, the Empress Dowager has been looking for you for a long time. Where have you been?" There was a hint of anger in her voice.
It’s the Queen Mother indeed!
Tang Li looked around and found no one around, but if someone heard the Queen Mother's words, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Husband." Tang Li called out.
Wei Qing also reacted.
No one must hear the Queen Mother's cry, and his identity must not be doubted in the slightest!
"You've got the wrong person. I'm not A Qing." Wei Qing said.
The Queen Mother clutched his arm tightly, her expression stubborn: "You are A Qing! A Qing, the Imperial Grandmother misses you so much."
"Aqing, be good and come here to your grandmother." The woman in palace dress opened her arms, and the four or five-year-old child rushed into her arms.
This scene appeared in Wei Qing's mind, and his nose felt sore.
However, his expression was cold and he struggled to break away from the old woman.
The old woman held on tighter, almost crying, "Aqing, please don't leave. The Empress Dowager has asked someone to make you something delicious."
Tang Li stretched out his hand and placed it on the empress dowager's head, and a faint halo spread out.
Tangli's magical power has the effect of temporarily soothing people and calming her down.
"He is not A Qing, you really have the wrong person." Tang Li said.
The Queen Mother looked at Tang Li and slowly let go of Wei Qing, feeling a little sad: "Did I admit my mistake?"
"Yes, I made a mistake. His surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Yu." Tang Li said.
The Queen Mother completely let go of Wei Qing, looking extremely lost.
Her name is Wu Yu. What about her little grandson? She misses her little grandson so much.
Wei Qing quickly took two steps back and disappeared into the darkness.
Just at this moment, a group of people came over, as if they were looking for someone, and the leader was the eldest princess.
The eldest princess looked anxious. When she saw the queen mother, she was immediately delighted and hurried over.
"Mother!" The eldest princess grabbed the Queen Mother's arm. "You are ill. The imperial physician told you to rest well. Why did you come out? Are you bored? If you are bored, your daughter will accompany you for a walk."
She looked at Tangli with a dignified expression.
Tang Li saluted her: "Princess."
The eldest princess smiled slightly and said, "The Queen Mother is not feeling well and is a little dazed. Did I scare you just now?"
Tang Li understood the deep meaning of her words.
It was obvious that he was telling her not to talk nonsense, and that the Queen Mother was just in a trance, not having any mental problems.
"The Queen Mother almost fainted, and I helped her up. But she didn't speak to me," said Tang Li.
The eldest princess nodded, very satisfied with her answer, and looked at the Queen Mother: "Mother, you are ill, and the doctor said you can't be exposed to the wind. Your daughter will help you go back."
Tang Li watched the eldest princess help the queen mother leave, and the queen mother seemed reluctant.
After they left, Wei Qing walked out from the darkness and went to Tang Li's side.
Tangli could sense the sadness emanating from him, so she turned around and hugged his waist.
Wei Qing also hugged her and buried his face in her shoulders and neck.
Tang Li knew that he was very sad, so he didn't say anything and just patted his back gently.
The two walked in the garden for a while and then returned to the birthday party.
Madam Gu walked over to Tang Li and pulled her cloak tighter: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Li shook his head: "Mom, I was a little stuffy at first, but I feel much better after walking for a while."
Mrs. Gu nodded.
She leaned over and whispered, "It'll be over soon."
This kind of birthday banquet is very torturous. She usually doesn't attend it, but who would dare not come to the emperor's 40th birthday?
When the bell rang, the fireworks on the riverside also shot into the sky.
In this era, fireworks were a rare thing, only available to the royal family.
Everyone tilted their heads and looked at it, very excited.
Tang Li turned his head and looked up slightly, and saw Wei Qing also looking up at him with shining eyes.
Her husband likes it too.
The fireworks of this era are far inferior to those of Tangli's era.
When Tangli lived, fireworks were colorful and could form various patterns.
If she had the chance, she really wanted to take her husband to see it.
Jinse stood alone in the crowd, looking at the two people snuggling together with cold eyes.
She just can't bear to see Tangli happy, and one day, she will make Tangli lose everything!
After the fireworks were set off, the birthday party ended and everyone left one after another.
When Tangli was halfway there, he was stopped by a palace maid.
"Madam Wu, I am a maidservant serving Princess Jingshu. The princess is tired and went to rest. She asked me to bring you a message saying that she will visit you in the Marquis' Mansion when she has the chance." said the maidservant.
Tang Li thought of the honest girl and nodded: "I'm at your service anytime."
When they arrived at the gate of Taiji Palace, Tang Li and Madam Gu said goodbye and got on their respective carriages.
It was also midnight when I got home.
Tang Li and Wei Qing simply washed up and went to bed.
Wei Qing hugged Tang Li like a bear.
"The Queen Mother is not your Majesty's biological mother. She has a gentle personality, doesn't fight or compete, and loves me very much. I only heard that the Queen Mother often worships Buddha and doesn't see people, but I don't know her..."
Wei Qing sighed softly.
The Queen Mother was a noble and elegant woman, but now she has become crazy.
I don’t know what happened to her.
