After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

But even if the empress dowager was angry, she did not dare to pretend to be dead in the room and refused to let Emperor Jianxi in.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and remained silent for a while. Her facial muscles moved as if she was about to cry. After a while, she said weakly, "Please invite the Emperor into the palace and help me change my clothes..."

After half a cup of tea, the empress dowager finished washing up and half sat on the edge of the bed with a droopy face, as if someone owed her money.

When Emperor Jianxi came in with the palace servants, he almost laughed out loud.

Holding back his smile, Emperor Jianxi gave the Queen Mother a big salute, "Your son pays respects to you, Mother!"

"Get up!"

"Why did you think of paying respects to me today?"

It was obvious that the emperor was unhappy because of the Side incident. He didn't pay his respects to her for several days. Most importantly, he had never paid his respects to her in the middle of the night before!

Emperor Jianxi made up an excuse, but the empress dowager didn't care. She only cared whether he would come tomorrow.

"You are busy with state affairs, so please don't pay your respects!"

"No, no, I must be filial to my mother. As the emperor, I must set an example for the world!"

Seeing that Emperor Jianxi was not convinced, the Queen Mother said directly, "Then come back after the court session in the future. Don't put such trivial matters as paying respects above state affairs!"

As the Queen Mother spoke, she could not help but use a tone of command and instruction. After all, she had been in a high position for many years, and the man in front of her was a bastard who had been criticized by her in the past. Naturally, she still felt superior from the bottom of her heart.

Emperor Jianxi maintained a fake smile, thinking that his biological mother was really interesting, very interesting.

Emperor Jianxi smiled faintly and nodded without making any comment.

The Queen Mother thought that Emperor Jianxi agreed, and she was relieved. A tired look instantly covered her face. She raised her hand and ordered him to leave. "Since that's the case, the Emperor, you can go and do your work!"

Emperor Jianxi left obediently.

However, on the second day, at 3:30 pm again, there was another deep shout, "Your son pays respects to the Queen Mother!"

I pay my respects to my mother...

From your son to your mother...

My son...

The Queen Mother jumped up from the bed with a somersault...

For five consecutive days, the empress dowager had auditory hallucinations during the day, and the loud voice of Emperor Jianxi's greetings seemed to be still echoing in her ears.

The Queen Mother was completely depressed.

In the past, she was only awakened in the middle of the night, but as time went on, she became frightened and worried, always thinking that Emperor Jianxi had come to pay her respects. She could not sleep well and woke up from time to time. Originally, she wanted to learn from Emperor Jianxi, go to bed early and get up early, and spend time with him, but her neurasthenia was so severe that she could not fall asleep at all, not even during the day.

I asked the imperial physician to prescribe tranquilizers, but I still couldn’t sleep!

I can only take a nap when I feel really sleepy.

Over the past five days, the Empress Dowager had become visibly haggard and weak, unable even to curse.

All the civil and military officials in the court knew about this, but they did not dare to say anything. The emperor, who had the power of life and death, had been scolded for many days by his non-biological mother, the queen mother, before he came up with such a painless way of torturing her. It was really kind of him. If they said anything else, it would seem like they were bullying the current emperor.

If they bully them too much, the Queen Mother won't be harmed, but they will lose their heads!

So all the civil and military officials in the court acted as if they didn't see anything, and even the Censorate, which had the most trouble, kept silent.

Lord Wang Hongyin took out a pen and paper and wrote, "In the thirty-fourth year of Jianxi, the Queen Mother missed her daughter so much that she could not sleep. Your Majesty took the trouble to comfort her day and night. This is a great act of filial piety that should be emulated by the people of the world..."

Officials: Lord Wang understands the cause and effect...

There are also benefits to the Queen Mother not being able to sleep.

For example, on the sixth day, the empress dowager sat in the main hall for half the night with dark circles under her eyes, waiting for Emperor Jianxi to arrive.

As soon as Emperor Jianxi approached the Cining Palace, he found that it was brightly lit. He immediately laughed, then made another dirty move, waved his sleeves, turned around and led his people away...

Originally, the Queen Mother could have caught up on some sleep right after driving Emperor Jianxi away, but now, she had to wait with her eyes wide open until dawn...

The Empress Dowager was so angry that her internal organs ached all over and her face turned blue and purple. The palace servants hurriedly called the imperial physician, who prescribed a lot of medicine for the Empress Dowager and fed her a lot of pills. The Empress Dowager finally calmed down.

Upon hearing the news, Prince Shou hurried over to persuade, coax and comfort the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was also a mentally strong and capable person, and she endured it with gritted teeth. She had breakfast and taken medicine. She had not had a good rest for many days and finally could not bear it any longer and felt a little sleepy.

The Queen Mother was lying on the bed with calming incense burning in the corner. Prince Shou was standing by. Seeing that the Queen Mother's eyelids were drooping and she was about to fall asleep, Prince Shou silently drove all the palace people out, and then he also tiptoed out of the bedroom. When he last stepped out of the bedroom, there was a sudden sound, both crisp and milky.

"Grandson pays respects to the Imperial Grandmother!!"

Prince Shou’s head buzzed.

Then, in sight, the Queen Mother sat up straight as if she had resurrected from the dead.

……

These days, Zhao Ying was busy with the funeral of Princess Side, and all the children stayed in Guangming Palace. The older children studied or practiced their skills. Only Shangguan Qingyue was very idle and could only bother his father who was still seriously injured.

"Daddy, don't move. Yue'er will wipe your face, just like you wiped Yue'er's... Daddy, why are you hiding?"

"This is the one that just wiped my feet..."

The little fellow pouted his lips and jumped off the bed in dissatisfaction to change the towel, [We are all human flesh, why should we distinguish between high and low...]

After wiping his father's face, the little guy was quiet for a while, sitting down to eat the cut fruit. Shangguan Shu read a book for a while, and after a while he heard footsteps approaching. When he looked up, Shangguan Qingyue held a piece of watermelon to his mouth, "Daddy, eat watermelon, it's so sweet!"

Shangguan Shu was touched and ate the melon cooperatively, praising, "Thank you Yue..."

[Mother said that I can’t eat the watermelon if it falls on the ground, but I can’t eat it, but I didn’t tell Daddy that I can’t eat it... Hehe, I’m so smart! ]

child……

"Daddy, let's play a makeup game! Don't move, Yue'er will draw your eyebrows and apply pretty rouge... Wow, Daddy, you are so beautiful... Daddy, stretch out your hand, Yue'er will apply rouge for you... Yue'er will comb your hair..."

"Daddy, your leg hair is so long, can you pull it out and make a brush for Yue'er..."

"Daddy..."

Shangguan Shu:
