Chapter 481: The Story of the Emperor and the Queen
Outside the hall, there is a corridor.
The conversation between the two sisters in the hall was heard word for word by a young man standing quietly in the corridor outside the hall.
The young man was wearing a bamboo green gown embroidered with silver cloud patterns.
His figure is slender and upright, like a jade tree in the courtyard.
He is well-mannered and has a handsome and exquisite face.
His facial features are about 70% similar to Zhao Zhao's, but he appears more cold and aloof.
This person is none other than the fourth prince Yan Xingchuan—Mumu.
Today he specially brought the peach blossom candy steamed chestnut flour cake that the imperial sister loved to eat to visit.
As soon as I arrived outside the palace, I heard Princess Ruchu's excited voice and the imperial sister's words that she had "thought it through".
The worry on Yan Xingchuan's face gradually faded away.
The corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a shallow but genuine smile.
It would be great if the imperial sister could figure it out on her own and let go of that hopeless obsession.
He listened carefully and confirmed that the princess seemed to be in a much more stable mood.
I even look forward to the outing the day after tomorrow.
I was worried that if I went in at this moment, I would disturb the conversation between the two little sisters.
Yan Xingchuan pondered for a moment and handed the food box in his hand to the palace servant standing by with his hands hanging down.
He whispered, "Send it in later."
The palace maid quickly bowed and took it, responding in a low voice.
The bamboo-green corner of the clothes drew a quiet arc under the corridor, and turned and left silently.
Inside the palace, Yan Ruochu was still excitedly planning what clothes to wear, what jewelry to wear, and what to play with for the outing the next day...
Try to use these fresh and interesting plans to dispel the haze in Miaomiao's heart.
Miaomiao snuggled up to her, even though her body was still weak.
But those eyes regained their former sparkling look.
The golden glow of the setting sun sprinkled on the ground of Changning Palace, and also softly enveloped the two sisters hugging each other on the couch.
After a depressing storm that lasted for more than ten days, it seemed that there were finally signs of clearing up.
…
The next day, Miaomiao was indeed in much better spirits.
When Wen Li'er came to see her, she saw that her little face had regained some color, and she could even softly call her "Mother".
The heavy stone in my heart has finally fallen halfway.
She sat by the bed, gently stroked her daughter's hair, and asked softly:
"Tangtang said you want to go for a walk in Yuanlin tomorrow?"
Miaomiao nodded gently and rubbed her mother's warm palm affectionately.
"I've been stuck in the palace for too long. I want to go out and get some fresh air."
Wen Li'er looked at her daughter's expression carefully.
Although there was still a hint of loss in her eyes, she no longer had the despair and stubbornness of the past few days.
I feel a little relieved.
She didn't object to her daughter relaxing, but she couldn't help but worry.
"It's good to go out for a walk, but you have just recovered from your illness, so you must not overwork yourself, and you must not seek coolness. Let Tang Bao Tang Hua bring an extra cloak, and everyone accompanying you should be smart."
"My daughter understands." Miaomiao responded obediently.
Wen Li'er pondered for a moment and said:
"You also understand what your father and I mean."
"The Cui family isn't the only outstanding son among the children of the aristocratic families. If you see more of them and spend more time with them, you might meet someone more compatible with you."
"Tomorrow there will be many young men and women coming to the garden. Just treat it as an ordinary outing and don't feel pressured."
"There's no need to force yourself to think about choosing a son-in-law right away. Just follow your heart."
Miaomiao felt a slight soreness in her nose as she listened to her mother's gentle guidance.
She quickly held back and whispered, "Thank you, mother. Miaomiao understands."
Seeing her like this, Wen Li'er knew that her heartache had not yet healed, so she smiled softly and asked:
"Miaomiao, do you want to hear the story of your father and mother?"
Miaomiao blinked her bright almond eyes and sat up straighter.
"The story of the Emperor and the Empress? Is it from before Miaomiao could remember anything?"
From childhood to adulthood, she has seen how much her father doted on her mother.
In my father's heart, my mother will always come first.
She has always been curious about how her father, the emperor, and her mother, the queen, met, got to know each other, and fell in love with each other.
Wen Li'er nodded and chuckled.
"When the Queen Mother first entered the palace, she didn't like your father at all."
"When your grandmother granted me the throne to the Eastern Palace, I couldn't even breathe and was ill for over six months."
When Miaomiao heard this, her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.
Is this something she can hear?
At this moment, outside the palace gate——
Yan Shixu was about to push the door open when his hand suddenly stopped because of his extraordinary hearing.
A sinister sneer gradually appeared on his face.
The palace servants shrank their necks and wished they could bury themselves in the floor tiles.
Yan Shixu silently waved everyone away and stood alone outside the door.
He really wanted to hear how reluctant this woman was to marry him!
Oh, it turns out that illness was not caused by weakness at all!
But because I became his woman, I was so sad that I fell ill!!!
Wen Li'er had no idea that in her attempt to comfort her daughter, she had accidentally exposed all her secrets.
She talked about her time in the boudoir in a rambling way.
I originally just wanted to find a man of equal social status to marry.
I even secretly drew a picture of my future husband!
Miaomiao was so engrossed in listening that she didn't notice the faint sound of grinding teeth outside the door.
She urged her mother to continue speaking softly.
Wen Lier then continued:
"Then, news of a beauty pageant suddenly broke out in the palace. Your grandparents were extremely anxious and tried their best to find a suitable woman for me."
"After comparing many times, I finally chose a reliable one, and even the wedding date is almost set."
"Who knew that he was spotted by a noble lady and they got married quickly."
"I have no choice but to choose a new son-in-law."
"But after choosing and choosing, I couldn't find one that was more to my liking than the previous one."
"At that time, the whole family was so worried that their hair turned gray."
"At that time, I thought that your royal grandfather loved beauty and would definitely look down on someone like me who is ordinary in appearance."
"So I persuaded your grandparents to let me enter the palace and participate in the selection."
"As I expected, your royal grandfather didn't like me."
"But I still didn't expect...your grandmother would take a liking to me and directly appoint me to the Eastern Palace."
"I just felt like the sky was falling."
"Thinking of having to spend the rest of her life in a deep palace full of cannibals, sharing one husband with countless women, she became sick with worry and never recovered."
"It took me a full six months to figure it out."
"Since fate cannot be changed, it is better to accept it calmly."
"In this deep palace, as long as I live well, that's all I need."
"It's enough to not let your grandparents and your uncle worry, and not let them lose their children."
"At that time, I always warned myself: Don't fall in love with any man, not even your father!!!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wen Li'er became more and more engaged in her speech, and her throat became dry as she spoke.
But Miaomiao became nervous, excited, and unbelievable at times, and then gradually calmed down.
The little face seemed to be dancing when listening to it.
Yan Shixu's mental journey outside the door was almost the same as his daughter's, except that he had already started grinding his back teeth.
Good, very good!
She pretended so well, but it turns out she never liked him in the past three years!!!
Yan Shixu turned around in a circle, trying to find something handy.
I wanted to grab this woman and give her a lesson right away.
After searching in vain, he kicked open the door of the palace in anger.
