"Empress, Prince Qi's mansion has arrived."

More than a dozen guards escorted a gorgeous car to park outside the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, and a guard who was closest to the car took the initiative to report to Empress Sun inside the car.

Empress Sun reached out and slowly opened the curtain in the carriage, only to see that the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion was covered with white cloth, the door was deserted, and the guards and guards were all dressed in plain clothes, looking at her car timidly.

Empress Sun sighed silently, and said softly to the guards outside the car: "Go and report."

After a while, Xiao Jie and Su Yao, dressed in plain clothes, came out to welcome them, and bowed to the car driver: "Xiao Jie (Su Yao) welcomes the empress."

Empress Sun got out of the car with the help of her maid, and stepped forward to help Su Yao up: "We are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite."

Immediately, Empress Sun saw Su Yao's slightly swollen lower abdomen, and said in a distressed tone, "Just let King Qi come out to meet me alone. It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant. If you move your baby's gas, you'll be fine." Trouble."

"And you, King Qi, know that your wife and child are pregnant, but you want her to come out to meet me. Isn't this nonsense? Not to mention the fetal gas, even the wind and cold are not good for the fetus in the womb " Queen Sun did not forget to click Xiao Jie beside Su Yao after she finished speaking.

Xiao Jie lay down the gun for no reason, but he was not good at arguing, so he could only make amends and said: "The empress taught you the right thing, I know I was wrong."

"Empress Empress, don't blame Your Highness. It's because I heard that Empress Empress came to the door, so I insisted on coming out to greet Empress Empress in person, so as not to be rude." Su Yao couldn't bear Empress Sun to blame Xiao Jie, so she took the initiative to defend him.

Empress Sun looked at such a loving couple in front of her, and looked at Su Yao from time to time, lowering her head and gently stroking her slightly raised belly, but she felt sad for no reason: "If I have a child, maybe it should be about the same age as King Qi now. , maybe I have become a grandmother and a grandson."

Although she was a little sad in her heart, Empress Sun didn't show anything on her face, she just smiled and said to Xiao Jie and Su Yao: "Let's not just stand outside the door and talk, it's windy outside, go in quickly, if Princess Qi takes it seriously With the wind and cold, I am a sinner."

Hearing this, Xiao Jie hurriedly wanted to welcome Empress Sun into the mansion, but Empress Sun took the initiative to help Su Yao into the palace, talking and laughing.

Empress Sun's personal maid couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the empress is so kind, and Wang Guifei did such a vicious thing to her, but not only did Empress Sun not bear any grudge against her, she was also so kind to Wang Guifei's son and daughter-in-law.

……

"Prince Qi, I'm really sorry about your concubine mother."

In the living room, seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, Empress Sun couldn't help but sighed quietly, and said to Xiao Jie in an apologetic tone.

Su Yao always had a smile on her face, but when she heard Empress Sun's words, her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly looked at her husband Xiao Jie.

Empress Sun's words are not easy to answer. If you blame Wang Guifei, it is unfilial, and if you blame Empress Sun, the problem is even more serious.

Xiao Jie shook his head lightly, sighed and said: "The empress is serious, I should say sorry to you on behalf of my concubine mother, it was she who made a big mistake to you in a moment of ignorance, which led to today's consequences."

Empress Sun also shook her head, and sighed again: "Since your mother and concubine have passed away, let the past go, it's just a bit difficult for you, obviously everything has nothing to do with you, but you have suffered such a disaster, even You can’t even stay in the capital, and you’re going to the smoky place like Jiaozhou, is that where you, a prince, should stay?”

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty is serious, my father's sending me to Jiaozhou is definitely a kind of experience for me. I just came back from Jiaozhou. In fact, Jiaozhou is not as bad as the Queen imagined. , I heard that the empress likes to eat lychees, and lychees are a specialty of Jiaozhou, next summer I will definitely send someone to bring the freshest lychees from Lingnan to the empress and my father."

"It is enough for King Qi to have this kind of filial piety, but Jiaozhou is far away from Luoyang, and the lychees will be destroyed by the time they are delivered to the capital."

Even though she said so, Empress Sun finally let go of her heart when she saw that Xiao Jie's smile was sincere and did not seem to be fake.

Concubine Wang made her unable to conceive an heir. It is impossible to say that she does not hate Concubine Wang, but as Concubine Wang committed suicide by taking poison, this hatred gradually faded away, and even took the initiative to ask the emperor to clarify the matter in order to take into account the face of the royal family. He buried Wang Guifei with the ceremony of concubine and concubine, saving the last dignity for his enemy.

After the death of Concubine Wang, Empress Sun felt sorry for Xiao Jie. She knew her husband, Mo Ruo's wife. She knew how much the emperor valued Xiao Jie, and she also heard that the emperor wanted to make Xiao Jie the crown prince. Xiao Jie not only lost the position of the crown prince within easy reach, but he couldn't even stay in Luoyang, and he would be dispatched to a wild place like Jiaozhou.

Empress Sun specially went to visit the emperor last night, and begged him to see that Xiao Jie had made great contributions to the court, even if he really wanted to be expelled from the capital, he should not be sent to a foreign place like Jiaozhou. The mother concubine made a mistake and suffered so much.But the emperor didn't know why he ate the weight and became determined. He just said one thing when I was young, I hadn't stayed in the northwest frontier for a few years, so why couldn't my son go to the wilderness to experience it.

Seeing that the emperor could not be persuaded, Empress Sun felt a little ashamed of Xiao Jie, so she came to visit Xiao Jie early this morning to express her apology face to face.

But seeing Xiao Jie's open-minded attitude now, Empress Sun finally relaxed a little, and the sense of guilt in her heart also eased a lot.

But hearing that Xiao Jie still knew that she likes to eat lychees, Empress Sun was still a little moved. She is from Jingzhou, very close to Jiaozhou. When she was a child, she could eat lychees from Lingnan from time to time, but since she became a queen, she never talked about it. I stopped mentioning lychees, because I was worried that the local officials in Jiaozhou, in order to please themselves and the emperor, mobilized the people, labored people and money to transport lychees to Beijing, and instead harmed many people.

She didn't know how Xiao Jie knew that she liked to eat lychees, but when she thought that although she had no heirs, Xiao Jie had such filial piety, her heart moved slightly, and she inexplicably remembered the letter Wang Guifei wrote to herself before she died.

Xiao Jie didn't make a difference, anyway, next summer, there is no need for the world to laugh at the empress, he has plenty of ways to let Empress Sun eat fresh Lingnan lychees.
