Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 371: Spring
,
"Mother concubine, father emperor led the army to fight a great victory, beheading Yue Rong, a famous general of Chu State, to avenge the eldest brother."
In the Palace of Yanxi Palace, Princess Jing'an's slightly happy voice came out: "Isn't the concubine very happy to hear this great news?"
Concubine Meng, who was lying on the bed with a sick face, really moved between her brows and eyes: "Is what you said true?"
"It's true!"
Princess Jing'an held Concubine Meng's hand and said softly: "After this battle, the state of Chu will no longer be able to resist. The royal father will soon lead his troops back to Beijing. The elder brother will also be able to come back. It's time to cheer up, otherwise, when the father and the elder brother come back, how can they not feel distressed when they see the mother and concubine so ill?"
Concubine Meng was ill for several months and lingered on the bed. Hearing the good news suddenly, I had a rare smile: "Okay, you help me sit up."
Princess Jing An was overjoyed and hurriedly supported Concubine Meng to sit up straight.
Meng Fei whispered: "I don't know what happened to your elder brother's leg injury."
Princess Jing'an intended to comfort her mother and said with a smile: "If my eldest brother had a serious leg injury, he should have been sent back to the capital. Since he has been staying in the military camp, it can be seen that there is no serious problem. Maybe, when he returns to the capital in the future. , you can walk as usual."
Even if it was false consolation, Concubine Meng listened comfortably and said casually, "I've been ill for so many days, and my face is unsightly. Bring a bronze mirror and show it to me."
Princess Jing'an hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist Concubine Meng, so she had to bring the bronze mirror.
The bright bronze mirror reflects an old and haggard face.
This face has long lost the charm and beauty of the past, like a ruined and dry flower.
Concubine Meng stared blankly at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, and the bitterness in her heart welled up again. She grabbed the bronze mirror suddenly and threw it out.
The bronze mirror flew to the door and fell to the ground with a thud.
The palace servants serving on the side were all nervous and lowered their heads in unison. For fear of being punished by anger.
Princess Jing'an endured the sourness and sadness in her heart, and explained to Concubine Meng: "Mother concubine is ill, and her complexion is not as good as usual. When her body is healed, she will wear bright clothes and use some fat powder, and she will be as beautiful as ever."
Concubine Meng lost her temper and felt a little regretful. She hugged her daughter and cried.
After crying for a while, the sullenness in my heart dissipated a lot. In a few days, Concubine Meng will be able to stay.
Concubine Meng has not been out of the palace for a long time, smelling the fragrance of spring flowers, her mind floated, and she said softly: "I want to go to the imperial garden for a walk."
Princess Jing'an was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to the garden now."
……
In the imperial garden in spring, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers and grasses floats in the wind, and the birds chirp in the treetops.
"Brother Jue, Sister Xuan, you two should run slower and don't fall."
The two brothers and sisters are already one and a half years old. They are naughty, active and energetic. Once they enter the imperial garden, they are like monkeys out of the cage. Running around, Fatty blushed and laughed non-stop.
Queen Qiao, like all the doting grandmothers in the world, can't wait to hold a pair of children in her hands. Lest the children fall, they should be warned from time to time.
Brother Jue responded loudly, "I'm not afraid."
Sister Xuan took the next sentence: "Don't fall."
Since a few months ago, the two brothers and sisters have shown that they are far smarter than their peers, especially early and articulate. At this age, he can already speak many words and simple sentences.
Empress Qiao listened to her ears and was delighted. She turned her head and smiled at Lu Mingyu: "Our elder brother and sister Xuan are smart. They spoke earlier than their biological father."
Lu Mingyu's eyes were chasing a pair of children who were running and playful, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "My father said that I was very active when I was young, and I learned boxing from my father when I was three years old. It seems that the children are good Move with me."
Queen Qiao stretched her brows and smiled: "It's too early to learn boxing at the age of three. The child's muscles and bones are too tender. When the child turns five years old, it's not too late to practice martial arts."
She was reluctant to let her precious grandchildren jump on horses to practice boxing early.
Lu Mingyu had a plan in mind and laughed it off.
Queen Qiao also knew that what she said was not worth it, she felt a little sullen in her heart, but it was inconvenient to say it. When mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, let's give each other a little bit!
The weather is good today, and they are not the only ones who take their children to the imperial garden.
Wang Jieyu also took the little princess to visit the garden. Everyone met and it was quite lively.
The little princess is only a few months old, her skin is extraordinarily fair, her eyes are black, her lips are rosy, and she is naturally good-looking.
Queen Qiao also liked the little princess very much, reached out and hugged her, smiled and praised: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiao Ping'an is getting better and better."
Wang Jieyu takes care of her children very carefully. The rest of the time, he stayed in his bedroom.
Wang Jieyu pursed her lips and smiled: "She's still young, so when she's older, it's good for the empress to praise her like this."
After having a daughter, Wang Jieyu has a foundation in the harem. The speech gradually became humorous.
Queen Joe was amused and laughed.
Lu Mingyu came over with a smile and reached out to touch the tender face of the little princess: "Hurry up and let your nephew and niece play with you in the future."
The niece and nephew are one year older than the little aunt!
Wang Jieyu chuckled.
Just as he was joking, two figures suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eyes.
Lu Mingyu glanced at her eyes and said in a low voice, "Queen Mother, it's Concubine Meng and Jing'an."
Hearing Concubine Meng's name, Queen Qiao frowned habitually: "Such a good situation, but it was a disappointment."
The old foe for many years has a heavy heart, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
Concubine Meng and the mother and daughter also saw a group of people and did not avoid them, so they walked over slowly. Princess Jing'an was quiet and submissive, and greeted everyone with a smile.
Concubine Meng was in a good mood~IndoMTL.com~ When she saw Wang Jieyu, who was young and beautiful like a flower, she suddenly became dark and angry.
Under the sun, Wang Jieyu's skin is tight and delicate, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, and she is smiling.
And she, with a fading and old face, has become the yellow flower of yesterday. In the situation where the two people's appearances are five-point similar, a sharp and strong contrast is formed.
Under Concubine Meng's gloomy and jealous gaze, Wang Jieyu bowed calmly: "I have seen Concubine Meng."
Concubine Meng stared at Wang Jieyu viciously, and replied with a sneer: "Wang Jieyu is a celebrity in the palace, so I should greet Wang Jieyu with a salute."
Queen Qiao's face sank, and she gave Concubine Meng a cold look: "Concubine Meng has been ill for so long, has her brain been confused?"
Concubine Meng shut her mouth bitterly.
Lu Mingyu didn't want to be disturbed by Concubine Meng's interest in the garden, and said casually: "There is a pavilion over there, let's take the child to sit there. Concubine Meng, please do it yourself!"
Concubine Meng watched a group of people leave, and her eyes deepened with resentment.
