Chunmei was stunned.
"Go and prepare meals for Ai's family. Ai's family is a little hungry, so he needs to recharge his energy. There will be a play tomorrow, and Ai's family needs to finish the performance."
"yes."
The next day, Bei Qiu went to Wei Wenqing's hall early in the morning. Wei Wenqing was staring blankly at the hanging beam, her eyes were flushed from crying, her face was as white as paper, and her lips were covered with a thin layer of skin.
"Empress Dowager, please save Madam, after Madam woke up, she didn't drink a sip of water, she kept crying for half the night." The servant girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
Bei Qiu sighed heavily, and sat on the side of the bed, "The emperor has never been here?"
The maid pursed her lips, and nodded heavily: "Long Live Lord left yesterday, and never came back to visit Empress."
After hearing these words, Wei Wenqing trembled slightly, her eyes turned red again, she could hear the words outside, but at this moment she just wanted to be willful.
"The Ai family understands your pain." Bei Qiu wiped the tears from Wei Wenqing's cheeks, "In this deep palace, there are traps everywhere. It doesn't matter if you mourn the family, but in this deep palace, you must not have any resentment towards the emperor."
Wei Wenqing's lips were puckered, tears fell again, and then her eyes turned to Bei Qiu: "Queen Mother, this concubine has never complained against you, this concubine knows that you are protecting this concubine wholeheartedly, but...but..." Wei Wenqing's hand was released To the abdomen, crying in pain.
"The Ai family knows that the emperor is gone. You are sad, and the Ai family is also heartbroken. If the emperor doesn't say anything, he must be sad in his heart." Bei Qiu grabbed Wei Wenqing's hand and continued: "Believe in the Ai family, the emperor is still alive." There will be."
Wei Wenqing grabbed Bei Qiu's hand with her backhand, held it tightly, and cried excitedly: "Queen Mother, why, why is my child gone, and why did the imperial concubine not pay for her life! Isn't my child's life not life! Why was she only grounded for a month! Why!"
Chunmei was startled, and immediately stepped forward to pull Wei Wenqing away.
However, Bei Qiu stopped Chunmei's actions, but gently comforted her: "Concubine Qing, you have to be considerate of the emperor. The emperor is the king of a country, and many things are beyond her control."
"I don't understand! I don't understand!" Wei Wenqing howled in pain: "My emperor's son is also the emperor's son!"
"Concubine Qing!" Bei Qiu pulled the collapsed Wei Wenqing, "Everything the emperor did was not only for you, but also because of the connection between the former court and the harem, the imperial concubine's natal family has the military power, and the emperor also has unspeakable difficulties! "
"Compared with my child, my child is not worth mentioning?" Wei Wenqing laughed at herself, tears falling down one by one.
"Don't say this again in the future, if someone with a heart hears it, your glory and wealth, and your father's glory and wealth, will all be gone." Bei Qiu pointed out.
"What do I have to do with wealth and wealth! I just want my child!" Wei Wenqing struggled to get up: "I'm going to ask him!"
Bei Qiu winked immediately.
The maids of Chunmei and Wei Wenqing hurried forward to control Wei Wenqing, the maid cried and said, "Your Majesty, listen to the Queen Mother, don't torture yourself."
"Concubine Qing, think about what Aijia said. How many of the women in this harem are going well, even Aijia has suffered a lot to sit in this position today. Aijia doesn't want you to step down from those useless concubines. Follow in the footsteps!" Bei Qiu stood up and tidied up her clothes.
"When your concubine Qing's condition improves, take your master outside to walk around more, spread out your experiences, and in recent days, persuade your master not to lose your sense of proportion in front of the emperor." Bei Qiu instructed.
The maid hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head to thank: "Yes."
In the beginning, Wu Yumeng often went to Wei Wenqing's place, and felt quite guilty towards Wei Wenqing, but he was repeatedly treated coldly by Wei Wenqing, and as time passed, he was no longer willing to go there.
Wei Wenqing felt much more at ease when she didn't see Wu Yumeng. She would go to the Hundred Gardens to enjoy the flowers from time to time, but she didn't want to step into the sad place of the Royal Garden.
Bei Qiu said with a smile: "Get up quickly, Yun Jing rarely returns to court, and the queen mother is very happy to know that she came to visit her."
Wu Yunjing stood up with a smile, and sat aside, "Brother Enzhun returns to court, so naturally he can't fall behind his mother. Will the mother be safe in the past few years?"
Bei Qiu nodded: "Ai's family is very good, but Yun Jing has become much thinner. I'm afraid life at the border will be difficult."
"The border is very windy and sandy. Fortunately, the emperor's brother is reading, and the supply has never been cut off." Wu Yunjing said with a smile, "Now that the emperor has recalled my son, the son is also very grateful."
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. In the future, this court will need you to assist the emperor a lot. The emperor used to have no brothers by his side. Now that he has you, you have to help the emperor stabilize his super-class." Bei Qiu said politely.
"Yes, I understand." Wu Yunjing agreed with a smile.
"The weather is just right today. I heard that Yun Jing's concubine likes flowers. Don't forget her when you go to the palace. Now there are only flowers blooming in the hundred gardens. Pick a few flowers and give them to the concubine."
"Yes, thanks for your mother's concern."
After Wu Yunjing left, Chunmei followed her out, and came back after a while to report that the two had already met, and Bei Qiu felt relieved.
There is no need for her to do anything next. Wei Wenqing only has love in her heart, and she is completely disappointed with Wu Yumeng. It is not difficult to meet a prince who also believes in love and is romantic, and the two of them secretly fall in love.
The queen ordered people to decorate the entire palace to be beaming.
All the vassal kings who are abroad are also specially allowed to return to the court for the New Year this year.
Wu Yunjing was the first person who was approved to stay in Kyoto without going back to the border.
In the evening of the New Year's Eve.
Bei Qiu waited for Wu Yu to greet her, and then she planned to dress up and go to bed, so she dressed relatively casually, she didn't need to attend this kind of family banquet, and wanted to rest early.
After a while, Wu Yumeng came.
"Greetings, son, mother." Wu Yumeng bowed slightly to Bei Qiu, raised his head with a cold face, "Happy New Year."
Eunuch Wang also knelt on the ground and said: "The servant sees the queen mother, the queen mother is blessed and safe."
Bei Qiu nodded, "Reward."
Chunmei immediately grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and put them in Eunuch Wang's hands. Eunuch Wang's eyes lit up and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Bei Qiu nodded, and said: "In the new year, the emperor hopes to extend his sons to the royal family, and hopes that the court will be stable."
"Thank you, Empress." Wu Yumeng said.
Bei Qiu waited for Wu Yumeng to leave, but after waiting for a while, no one spoke in the main hall, and fell into a strange silence for a while.
In the end, it was Bei Qiu who broke the silence and asked, "Does the emperor have anything else to say to Aijia?"
"The son also wants to ask the queen mother this question. Does the queen mother have something to say to the son?" Wu Yumeng raised his head and looked directly at Bei Qiu.
Bei Qiu's heart skipped a beat, with this appearance, is he here to ask the teacher for a crime?
