Chapter 159 These are all common things
The Empress Dowager has many grandchildren and is not short of people who can enjoy themselves, but Chen Xiao is the only one who is really regarded as her family.
Most women from poor families pay attention to the water splashed by the marries of chickens, follow the chickens, and follow the dogs, and the water splashed by the married girls; eight out of ten women from high and wealthy families always regard their parents' home as their backers, and suffer grievances in their husband's home, the first thing they think of is to let their parents support themselves.
The Empress Dowager is already the most noble woman in this world, but she still cannot escape the vulgarity. Now that she saw Chen Xiao coming back, she suddenly felt that her waist was also hard.
As soon as she entered the palace, the outsiders thought she was as smooth as the sea. They only saw her mother as a concubine, but they didn't know that during those years she was walking on thin ice, day and night, waiting for her father-in-law to die, and she became the queen; she was cold guns and arrows, and she worked step by step. She finally survived until the death of the late emperor, and became the queen mother, and finally lived a good life.
In the past years, she had a glorious appearance on the surface, but in fact she knew that her husband's heart would no longer be with her childhood sweetheart, and those beauties in her prime are emerging one after another. If it weren't for her own children, she might have been unable to hold on. But without the big tree of the Duke of Yongguo Mansion, her son would not have ascended the throne smoothly.
Later, her brother died, her nephew died, and her two nephews and grandchildren died and were sick.
After countless times, the Queen Mother suddenly looked back, there were only a group of eunuchs and palace maids with a sad face, and the towering tree that sheltered her from the wind and rain. There was no more... She had nowhere to come, and the only thing waiting for her was the road to the imperial tomb.
And now, Chen Xiao is back. Although he is only a sixteen-year-old boy, the empress dowager knows that she has a family again.
From now on, the Duke of Yongguo’s Mansion will no longer be an empty house, it is her parents’ home and her family members there.
The Empress Dowager has decided to invite the old lady who is in love with her to the palace tomorrow and write down all the girls of the age in the capital. She took out an hour every day to summon these girls. One every day can meet three hundred people a year. After meeting the people in the capital, she also met all the people in the north and south Zhili. Although she had to choose the best one, she could always pick three or four good ones out of the three hundred.
By then, Chen Xiao’s filial piety period will be over, and Chen Xiao will meet these three or four girls one by one. She is an open-minded old man. If the child doesn’t like it, she will not force it. When choosing a wife for the emperor and a son-in-law for Zhaoyang, wouldn’t it be their own wishes? So this time, she first picked out a few and then asked Chen Xiao to choose one from among these few. In this way, this future nephew-sister-law will not only be what Chen Xiao likes, but also be satisfied with it.
The Empress Dowager just thought about it this way and felt as light as a swallow, and all diseases were eliminated.
What? You said that there is a nephew in the Ai family who is holding a funeral? It's a nonsense. The nephew in the Ai family is living well, and it has a great fortune and a long life.
Hua Jingyao finally found the opportunity and said to the empress dowager: "Grandma, Yaoyao takes the third princess to your flower room to see, okay?"
The Queen Mother had stopped crying a long time ago. At this moment, she was immersed in the joy of choosing her nephew and grandson-in-law. When she heard Hua Jingyao say this, she smiled and said, "Are you thinking about moving all the flowers of the Ai family to your mansion?"
Hua Jingyao pretended to be shocked and said, "Grandma, you can go to Shuntian Mansion to go to the court for trial. Oh my God, are you going to be smart? If the Supreme Court official Li knew about it, he would give you his title of Qingtian with both hands."
The queen mother reached out and said to the female Shi who was standing beside her: "Come here quickly, the Ai family wants to beat this talkative little monkey."
The female Shi hurriedly smiled and handed over a purse with exquisite embroidery. The queen mother grabbed the purse and threw it at Hua Jingyao. Hua Jingyao caught it, took out a few golden leaves from the purse, pouted her mouth, and said, "It's golden leaves again, it's really vulgar."
"If you hate the vulgarity, you will return it to the Ai family." The empress dowager scolded.
Hearing this, Hua Jingyao hurriedly stuffed Jinyezi back into her purse, tied her purse to her waist, shook her head proudly: "You gave it all, I won't take it back. Besides, let my granddaughter keep this kind of vulgar thing for you, hehe, the more you have, the more you have."
The empress dowager was so angry that she said to Chen Xiao: "Don't look at your little sister being naughty. She was like Jiahui when she was a child, and she was quiet and well-behaved. Since she solved several cases with her elder brother, she has become like this. Look, she dares to steal the things from the Ai family. You kid is honest at first glance, don't let her bully you."
Hua Jingyao wanted to tear open Chen Xiao's skin and let the Empress Dowager see Chen Xiao's unhappy heart.
Are you old and dizzy, and you actually think Chen Xiao is honest?
Chen Xiao nodded repeatedly, his eyes were pure and his smile was humble. Oh my God, this man really knows how to act. If he put on makeup and put on stage, he will be better than that little fan building to be the top brand.
She was too lazy to see Chen Xiao pretending to behave, and took the third princess and walked out. The Queen Mother's voice came from behind: "If you dare to touch the Eighteenth Bachelor of Ai's family, don't think about taking the golden leaves of Ai's family again in the future."
Miss Hua promised not to move the eighteenth bachelor’s degree. For her, the flowers and plants were just petals and fragrant dew for bathing.
The reason why she wanted to go to the flower room was just to find a quiet place to kiss and hug the third princess.
The third princess was held hands and walked out in two steps. She frowned and couldn't say anything. Finally, she arrived at the flower room. Miss Hua said to the two palace maids following behind: "I whisper to the third prince."
The two palace maids quickly took a few steps back, Xiao Ai walked up and said, "Two sisters, let's go there for tea."
The palace maid had no choice but to follow Xiao Ai.
Seeing that there was no one around, the third princess pulled her little hand out of Miss Hua's hand, raised her little face and said, "What's the matter with me?"
Hua Jingyao has been very busy these days, so she has not entered the palace. Now when she sees it, she feels that the third princess has changed again.
Could it be that my memory has been restored?
There are tables, chairs, and a Xiangfei couch in the flower room. These are all prepared for the Empress Dowager, because the Empress Dowager would occasionally come to the flower room to sit, and sometimes he would lean halfway on the Xiangfei couch and listen to the little palace maid chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Hua Jingyao sat down at the table, supported her head with her arms, and looked at the third princess with a smile: "There is no one here, to be honest, why do you hate me so much?"
The third princess bit her lip and said, "I've said it a long time ago, because you are not Yaoyao."
The third princess said this as early as in Guangji Temple, but the third princess at that time was just a sad and anxious child. Although the third princess is still a child now, her eyes are calm and her expression is firm. Miss Hua almost immediately affirmed her guess just now.
