Chapter 80: Unable to Speak or Move (2)
"Brother, who is this?"
"This is the Queen Mother. Xi'er, you must remember what she looks like. You must not forget her."
"But why is Mother in the portrait? Can Mother come out and hug me?"
“…”
"Royal brother, why don't you say anything? The next time Xi'er is sick, can mother come out of the painting and feed Xi'er medicine?"
“…”
Ever since Qi Yunxi could remember, all she had been taught were matters concerning her mother. Every day her brother would take her and her younger brother to pay their respects to her mother's portrait.
Over time, whenever her brother had something to do, she would take him there by the hand, as she was familiar with the route.
Every time she saw her mother's portrait, she wondered: Why was she there? Was she a fairy from heaven? Could she emerge from the portrait?
But as she grew up, she gradually learned that her mother had passed away.
The queen mother could never walk out of the portrait to hug her, nor could she gently call her "Xi'er".
Qi Yunxi envied other children who had mothers. Although their mothers were sometimes very strict and would control them and not let them do this or that, they would still kiss them and hug them.
She really wants to have a mother.
She is a princess, the most favored princess of the Great Xia monarch. If she is willing, everyone wants to be her mother.
But influenced by her royal brother, Qi Yunxiping and others drove away all the women who wanted to be her mother.
Yes, beat him away.
Let the palace servants drive the people out with sticks.
Want to be her mother?
No way!
There are no windows either!
Even the rat holes must be blocked!
Although Qi Yunxi was young, she knew that those women pretended to like her in order to get close to her father.
So, whenever someone brought a young girl to the palace to pay her respects, it would be fine if they didn't mention the matter of becoming her stepmother. But once this topic was brought up, the big dogs raised in her yard would not be vegetarians!
With this, Qi Yunxi once scared away all those who wanted to become the empress in the capital. Even if their father and brothers forced them to go, no girl dared to enter the palace.
The princess really dares to let the dog bite people!
"Mammy, please turn off the light. I want to sleep."
Qi Yunxi was particularly sleepy tonight, and she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
【Kill the love brain, you are the emperor】
But after falling asleep, she heard a noise.
Who is making noise outside?
Don’t want to die!
Qi Yunxi opened his eyes angrily, but found that he was not on the bed, but was being held in someone's hand.
She found that she could not move or speak, but she could hear others talking.
After listening for a while, she understood.
This is a story about two sisters arguing. One of them said she wanted to marry a man named "Liu Bin" and go back to his country with him; the other one wanted her to stay and not go with Liu Bin.
"Imperial sister, if you insist on keeping me here and not letting me go with Liu Lang, then just kill me!"
"Even if I die, my soul will leave with Liu Lang!"
Oh wow, he’s a member of the royal family.
"Sister, are you really going to give up your father, mother, and me, your sister, for this man?"
Shen Jingyao cried and said, "It's not that I want to give up on you, it's that you don't respect my decision. I have no choice, so..."
"You are the heir chosen by our father, just a man. How can you be more important than the country?"
Shen Jingyao said firmly: “Liu Lang is more important than anything else!”
In her previous life, she gave up Liu Lang for the throne. Liu Lang died of depression after returning to his country. Before his death, he wrote a thousand-word suicide note expressing his love for her.
She was deeply saddened and depressed for the rest of her life, and eventually died with Liu Lang.
If she were to live her life again, she would go back to Liu Lang's country with him and help him ascend the throne!
This way, they can be together forever.
Shen Xun played with the wooden ornament in her hands, a playful smile crossed her lips, "Father, Mother, please come out. I tried to persuade my sister, but she wouldn't listen. I can't do anything about it."
Two people appeared behind the screen. As soon as the queen came out, she hugged Shen Jingyao and cried, crying that she was so cruel that she abandoned her parents for a man.
"Mother," Shen Jingyao lowered her head, "I have no choice. If you don't accept Liu Lang, I will have no choice but to leave with him."
The Queen sighed and said, "But he is a hostage from the Yi Kingdom. You are the heir chosen by your father. It is impossible for him to enter your harem."
Shen Jingyao lowered her head and said nothing.
The queen glanced at the emperor and signaled him with her eyes to persuade his daughter.
The three of them gathered together, making Chen Xun, who was sitting alone, look very lonely.
Are you lonely?
Shen Xun had a worried expression on his face, but his heart was calm.
She was so focused on completing the mission that she didn't care if they isolated herself.
This is not her home and they are not her family, so why should she care about them?
Qi Yunxi was originally listening to them talking, but when she accidentally saw Shen Xun's face, she was stunned for a moment.
This, this, this, isn't this the Queen Mother?!
There's no mistake.
She had looked at the portrait of her mother at least eight thousand times, so there was no way she could make a mistake!
So what's the situation now? Where is the Queen Mother?
Could anyone tell her where this was so she could ask her father to send someone to find her mother?
Qi Yunxi tried to move his hands and feet, but he couldn't move them.
When she was taken to the dressing table in the room by Shen Xun, she realized that she was now a small wooden sculpture. No wonder she could not speak or move.
Of course, I can't leave here.
After Qi Yunxi tried several times, she gave up.
This is good, at least she can see the queen mother whom she has never met before. I have to say, the portrait painted by her father really looks like the queen mother herself, otherwise she would not be able to recognize her at a glance.
Of course, the real Queen Mother is much more beautiful than the portrait.
Qi Yunxi was infatuated with the beauty of his mother.
By the way, watch how the Queen Mother abuses the scum to gain power, and finally ascends the throne to become emperor.
When Qi Yunxi was held by Shen Xun and sitting on the dragon throne, his eyes suddenly went dark.
She opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed.
"Was it a dream?"
She muttered to herself.
Then she put on her clothes and wanted to tell her father about the dream she had, but she couldn't say it. Even if she wanted to write it down on paper, she couldn't.
In desperation, Qi Yunxi had to give up.
But every night after she fell asleep, she would see her mother in her dreams.
Sometimes the Queen Mother wore the same dress as her, and sometimes the dress was very short, revealing her arms and legs.
Qi Yunxi’s favorite place is the world of immortal cultivation, where people can actually fly with swords!
She watched her mother grow from a useless spiritual root to the strongest person step by step, and witnessed the many difficulties her mother went through. Sometimes she wondered why her mother worked so hard?
It is obvious that her family here is very powerful, she just cannot practice, and there are many strong people around her to protect her.
Qi Yunxi couldn't understand.
Although she cannot help her mother, she will always be with her.
In every dream, the queen mother worked very hard, so she would always stay by her mother's side.
Always, always be with my mother.
