Chapter 85: Meet the Queen Mother

Chapter 85 Meeting the Queen Mother

 Different from last time, this time Bai Ziyi did not stop Yu Wan and the others from looking around.

Yu Wan took a look at it. Although the snow had melted away, the trees were still bare. However, the palace inside was really magnificent, with various pavilions and pavilions decorated with carved beams and paintings, which were beautiful.

 The roads are all paved with beige granite stones, wide and neat.

There were many beautiful palace maids and naughty eunuchs along the way. When I saw the seven brothers and sisters, their eyes were all glowing green.

 “Oh, whose child is this? It’s so beautiful and cute.”

“Yeah, look at the smallest one, it’s so pink, I really want to pinch it.”

"Shut up, didn't you see those were the eldest princess and Lord Zhan?"

 One of the maids recognized them, and immediately the eunuchs and maids knelt down to say hello.

"Princess, Lord Zhan, please forgive me. These blind slaves have offended the young master with their mouths." A palace maid who looked a little older kowtowed and asked for forgiveness.

Ms. Feng frowned and said, "Everyone, get up."

 Then he led a group of people away.

After walking for a mile, a magnificent palace - Fengyang Palace appeared in front of us.

 Bai Ziyi saw the confusion on the faces of Feng's mother and son, and he said: "This is the Palace of Fortune and Longevity of the old witch."

Everyone suddenly realized that it was normal for such a coquettish **** to live in such a palace.

 Immediately, the maids and eunuchs came out from Fengyang Palace, lined up in two rows and knelt down: "I have seen the eldest princess fighting against the prince, the young master, and the young lady Wan'an."

Yu Wan: This scene is still a bit different from the glamorous **** that day.

Ms. Feng waved her hand gently: "Everyone, get up."

A nun in front said: "Princess, Prince Zhan, young master, young lady, please come in, the Queen Mother is already waiting."

 Then he led everyone into the main hall, followed by two rows of palace maids and eunuchs.

In the main hall, a noble woman was sitting high. When she saw Mrs. Feng coming in, she ignored the help of the nuns and got down from the chair. He walked quickly with bumpy steps, opened his arms, hugged the tearful Feng who entered the palace, and cried loudly: "My son, where have you been all these years?"

　　Women are really made of water. The two women hugged each other and cried for a long time before reluctantly letting go. The Queen Mother stroked Feng's face and said distressedly: "Why are you so thin? He is no better than your imperial brother."

Yu Wanhan, if you met Feng a few months ago, what would your name be? Feng's body has now grown back to almost normal size. Any more flesh will make her fatter.

But as for children, no matter how fat they are, it is normal in the eyes of their parents, which means they have been raised well.

Mrs. Feng sighed: "Mother, I'm fine. Come and see my children."

The Queen Mother patted her forehead: "Oh, you said that the old woman of the Ai family is really old. Come on, let the Ai family see her grandchildren. Oh, the King of War is here too."

Bai Ziyi twitched his lips. He greeted the Queen Mother and left the hall.

Yu Haoran and his brothers and sisters stood in front of the Queen Mother. They all knelt down and kowtowed: "I have met the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother looked at the rows of pink and jade-carved dolls and was extremely happy. Unlike the eldest prince, who was sick and unhappy at first glance.

"Okay, okay, the grandchildren of the Ai family, get up quickly, get up quickly", and he was about to help Yu Haoran's brothers and sisters.

The seven brothers and sisters stood up and stepped aside. Immediately, a palace maid had prepared stools for them to sit down.

"Look, the Queen's grandmother was so happy that she forgot about it. Come on, let's go to the side hall, where food is set up." She said, leading Feng to the side hall.

Yu Wan saw the Queen Mother holding Feng's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Feng would disappear again.

 In the side hall, there was a large round table filled with fruits and cakes.

Yu Wan took a look and saw that there were quite a lot of fruits on the table. There are such a variety of fruits at this time, which shows that the Queen Mother is really attentive.

Those pastries are exquisitely made and full of fragrance, which makes people very appetizing as soon as they smell them.

"Eat, children, this was prepared by the imperial kitchen in the morning, in case you are hungry."

After saying that, she let go of Feng Shi and came to hold Xiao Qi: "Oh, my dear grandmother, come on, come on, eat quickly."

The Queen Mother carried Xiao Qi to the table, brought over a plate of fragrant pastries, and handed Xiao Qi a pair of chopsticks.

Xiao Qi glanced at Mrs. Feng, and when she nodded, he picked up a piece of pastry with chopsticks, looked around, and raised it to the Queen Mother's mouth: "Grandma, you eat it."

 “Oh, my little darling is so good, my grandma will eat it.” The Queen Mother ate it in one gulp with tears in her eyes. How many years had she been alone in the imperial mausoleum with no one to talk to. As soon as she came back, there were so many good grandchildren and they were so filial. The Queen Mother was extremely moved.

　　Everything had to be done by oneself there. The old witch did not provide her with anything. All she provided was the knowledge from the guards that the emperor was ill and that he would not die soon.

  She didn’t believe it, and knew that it was the old witch who had done this, just to make her life difficult.

 In any case, she just listened. Fortunately, she was a hard-working person and learned to do everything by herself. After more than ten years, she still managed to survive, waiting for the day when her son would take her back.

  She is unfortunate, but she is also the lucky one. Her sons and daughters are all good, and she has so many good grandchildren.

The Queen Mother wiped her eyes and looked at Yu Wan: "Are you Xiao Si'er? Your uncle the emperor talks about you all the time. If it weren't for our Xiao Si'er, our family would probably have met your maternal grandfather. Come on, Come here and let the Ai family take a look."

Yu Wan stepped forward and called out obediently: "Grandma the Queen."

The Queen Mother wet her eyes again. How did such a little girl deal with those packs of jackals, tigers and leopards?

She took Yu Wan's hand and stroked her head lovingly: "I was carved out of the same mold as your mother when she was young, oh, and Xiaoliu, come on, come to the Queen's grandmother."

The Queen Mother waved to Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu took Feng's hand and walked to the Queen Mother. He raised his little face and called out: "Grandma the Queen."

The frown on the Queen Mother's face softened a lot when she called her: "Hey, little darlings of the Ai family, look at you two sisters, hey! You both look so much like your maternal grandfather. If he were here and saw you, I don't know how much he would have done. Love you."

The Queen Mother wiped her tears, and the deep longing on her face was evident.

Ms. Feng stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother wipe away her tears.

The Queen Mother turned around and smiled: "Hey, you are really old! From now on, you should go to the palace more often to see this old woman from the Ai family. Come on, eat quickly, eat quickly."

The brothers and sisters saw that the Queen Mother was just an ordinary old lady and no longer felt as restrained as when she first arrived, so they slowly took the cakes and ate them.

Yu Wan tasted it and found it was pretty good. She suddenly remembered that she didn’t even eat the cakes she bought from Master Shen. She had always put them away and forgot about them.
