She is different from the empress in the history books

Chapter 153
Pei Peng then remembered something and asked:

"Is the princess back?"

After learning that Xu Shu had returned, Pei Peng felt a little tired from sitting for a long time, so he simply stood up and prepared to go see his daughter.

The maids behind her were quietly picking up their cloaks, while those looking for palace lanterns were looking for palace lanterns. Some people had already taken out a small stove to warm their hands. When Pei Peng changed her clothes and was about to go out, the maids were already following her like running water.

Pei Peng looked back and took the palace lantern from one of them. Because at the end of the year, the utensils used in the mansion also changed their styles according to the occasion. There were many more patterns and patterns with auspicious meanings, and there were many more. Specially made zodiac signs.

The palace lantern that Pei Peng took was exactly like this. It looked like a long dragon circling and flying. The glistening light emitted from the dragon's mouth, as if it was holding a dragon ball in its mouth. It was very interesting.

When Pei Peng saw this look, she suddenly realized what year next year would be. She also thought that Pei Wei's children were all born next year, which is very auspicious, but if everyone has this auspiciousness , then I don’t know what trouble is going to happen.

That's it, no more thinking about it, she should just do her own thing.

Xu Shu had just finished her meal when she saw a few little palace maids building snowmen in the yard. They were newly assigned to her and trained slowly. After all, those who stayed around her for a long time had to be let out little by little if they were to be used. To take care of her property or run errands for her, new people must be constantly added.

Xu Shu recalled that she seemed to have built a snowman in the palace a few years ago. At that time, her grandfather was still there, and the father-daughter relationship with her mother was also very deep. Xu Shu was also a frequent visitor to the palace, and she did not have a palace with her grandmother. But go and play outside my grandfather's palace. Occasionally, you can see courtiers hurriedly passing by with something to report.

But she didn't realize at the time that even building a snowman outside the emperor's palace was a special symbol. Unfortunately, she was just having fun at that time and didn't take her grandfather's authority seriously.

Even later, when her grandfather had a fit and had several of his sons imprisoned or sentenced to death, she never thought that one day such power might be used on her.

The emperor's uncle was no longer as powerful as his grandfather, but her mother-in-law still had to carefully plan to maintain her autonomy in marriage.

However, it is obvious that he is not a good emperor. He is not even the heir that his grandfather really trained. He was pushed to the throne in a hurry. Can anyone who is pushed to that position enjoy authority?
Of course, Xu Shu had also read books and listened to lectures given by some gentlemen. They all said that the authority of the emperor comes from the will of the ancestors and from God. It is the expectation of all people in the world.

But if the legacy, the grant, the expectation, the choice of such an emperor, the insidiousness of dealing with sisters out of inexplicable suspicion, or the stupidity of asking people to pray for a pill whose efficacy is not yet certain, then is that right? Say, this kind of legacy, grant and expectation are actually not so irreversible?
Thinking of this, Xu Shu was horrified. She felt that her thoughts had slipped into a terrifying and unknown situation, but it was inexplicably attractive to continue thinking about it.

This is treasonous.

Xu Shu secretly blamed herself.

The Pei family’s blood is flowing in her body. If she thinks that the emperor’s uncle can be overthrown, doesn’t that mean that the Pei family can be overthrown? Does it mean that the divine right of kings is also a illusory scam?

Although the change of dynasties has never lasted for a long time, for Xu Shu's status and age, she can regard the change of dynasties as a story in the history books and the achievements of the ancestors of this dynasty, but it is difficult to imagine that such a thing is possible. It takes place in the world she lives in.

"Ashu? Ashu?"

A pair of soft hands touched Xu Shu's forehead, and she could still feel a little hard callus on the opponent's fingertips. This was caused by the wrong pen posture when the opponent was practicing calligraphy without the guidance of a famous teacher when he was young. of.

These hands were very familiar to Xu Shu. They were Aniang's hands.She finally came to her senses and realized that when she was thinking about something, A Niang had already come in and was standing opposite her.

As soon as Pei Peng's hand touched his daughter's forehead, he was startled. Why was he sweating so hard?Her face turned pale, and she thought Xu Shu was sick.

"No, Aniang, I'm just thinking about something and I'm a little obsessed."

Pei Peng sat across from Xu Shu worriedly. His forehead was indeed not hot, but Xu Shu didn't seem to be in good spirits either.

So, are you still unhappy because of being a female champion?

Xu Shu did not dare to let her mother know what she was thinking. She felt a little guilty. How could she think that Pei Wei was not worthy of being the emperor?

If he doesn't do it, then who will the throne fall to?Are they cousins ​​who are more closely related to A Niang?Or is it like the previous dynasty, where powerful ministers sought the throne?No matter what it is, she feels very sorry for her mother and her grandfather for having such thoughts.

Xu Shu poured tea for Pei Peng with evasive eyes, and because she was absent-minded, she spilled half a pot of warm tea on the table and even splashed on Pei Peng.

Xu Shu suddenly stood up and wanted to wipe Pei Peng.

Pei Peng was also confused. With Xu Shu's behavior, it was not entirely possible to say that she was unhappy.But to say that she was in a good mood, Xu Shu had a shady situation before, but she would never remedy the situation herself in a polite and rude manner. She would usually tell her subordinates to deal with it as soon as possible.

Pei Peng stopped Xu Shu's movements, and while asking someone to get her clothes and bedtime supplies, he comforted Xu Shu:
"Okay, okay, the water is not hot. Just change it and let them wash it. I see that you are restless today. Can I sleep with you for a night?"

Mother and daughter have not been lying together like this for a long time. When they came to Chengyang County, Pei Peng was busy, and Xu Shu was also busy. Moreover, Pei Peng always felt that as her daughter grew up, she had to take on more things. If she still slept with her mother, Being in one place will inevitably make people look down upon.

But now, Pei Peng still feels that it is more important to talk to his daughter more.

The maids lowered the layers of curtains one by one, and the white candles with zigzag patterns carved on the outside were burned until tears fell drop by drop, illuminating the room brightly. However, because of the curtains, the mother and daughter were in the same room. But only a little gentle light shines through the space.

"Ah Shu, do you want to hear what grandma tells me about grandma and your father?"

Pei Peng thought for a while and found that using other people's marriage experiences to explain her daughter's feelings was of little use because she had no intuitive feelings.

But her marriage to Xu Qing, the estrangement and discord between the two, the Xu family's disobedience to her, and the late emperor's use of her, all these, Xu Shu can more or less understand.

Let her see clearly the constraints she has in her marriage, and maybe she will be able to truly understand the reason why she, as a mother-in-law, does not want her to enter such a marriage again.
