Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 285 Rebirth of Waves
The Empress Dowager sent someone to ask Mrs. Ye, Liang, to go out and see her two grandsons.

Mrs. Jiang, the third wife of Ye San, simply went along.

The emperor was sent away to attend to state affairs.

Only Ye Jingzhao stayed by the queen's side.

Perhaps it was because he was thinking about his two newborn children.

Queen Ye Jingzhen was not sleeping soundly.

However, he woke up again after less than half an hour.

But this time, he looked much more energetic.

"Fourth sister?"

Ye Jingzhao hurried forward, gently held down the queen who wanted to get up, and gently advised, "Big sister, take a rest."

After saying this, she picked up the soft cushion and placed it under the elder sister's head.

When the palace maid saw the queen wake up, she hurriedly brought some medicinal food.

Ye Jingzhao took the white porcelain cup from the maid and said, "Big sister, can I feed you?"

The queen smiled and nodded slightly.

Ye Jingzhao fed her gently, spoonful by spoonful, until the empress had finished half a bowl and refused to eat any more, so she stopped.

"Big sister, do you want to lie down and rest?"

Ye Jingzhen shook her head, looking a little tired, "Fourth sister, talk to the eldest sister."

She had just eaten and was not sleepy now.

And there were naturally many elders surrounding the two children outside.

She didn't want to spoil the fun for her elders now, and the child had a wet nurse to take care of him.

After a while, the two children will naturally be sent back.

Ye Jingzhao took the handkerchief and wiped his elder sister's cheek before handing it to the palace maid.

"Big sister, what's on your mind?"

Ye Jingzhao sat beside the couch and saw that the queen looked tired and a little sad.

The queen raised her eyes to look at her fourth sister with a wry smile on her lips.

His eyes swept around the bedroom, and when he saw that there was no one else around, he slowly said, "Fourth sister is smart, nothing can be hidden from you."

The eyes that were full of fatigue just now are now nowhere to be seen.

His eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of mist, revealing a sense of helplessness and sadness.

Ye Jingzhao did not rush, but just waited quietly.

The queen seemed to be recalling the past and her expression was a little distracted.

My thoughts drift further and further away in the memories.

The house was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

With a light cough, the queen finally came back to her senses from those old thoughts.

"Fourth sister, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..."

The queen smiled helplessly.

Ye Jingzhao shook her head gently, "Big sister, we are all sisters from the same family, there is no need to be so polite with me."

The queen sighed again.

But this time, she did not fall into distant memories again.

"I was supposed to give birth in half a month..."

"It was because I met an old friend in the Imperial Garden that I started the operation ahead of time."

Seeing his elder sister mention an old friend, Ye Jingzhao instinctively tensed up.

Who else but the Prince of Liang could be the old friend that could make the elder sister so worried?
The queen seemed to have guessed her thoughts. She shook her head and explained with a helpless smile, "It's the Princess of Liang."

Ye Jingzhao's eyes paused slightly.

"These days, I always have trouble sleeping at night. The two little ones are making a fuss in my belly and I can't sleep well. That's why I want to go to the Imperial Garden during the day."

"I was bored with all the people following me, so I sent them all away. Who would have thought that I would meet the Princess of Liang by such a coincidence."

"She saw me alone, so she came forward and asked me questions out of concern."

"I can't help but mention him. I heard that the young master is ill. As his father, he has been guarding him for several days, but his condition has not improved..."

"Because of this palace, she came to the palace to ask for an imperial physician to take a look at the young master."

"Later, I took the initiative to invite the imperial physician to go and take a look."

Princess Liang was extremely grateful.

However, before leaving, when no one was around, he quietly stuffed a worn-out purse that had long been untied into the queen's hands.

A pair of twin lotus flowers were embroidered on the dark blue cloud-patterned brocade purse. At one glance, Ye Jingzhen's heart collapsed into ruins in an instant.

Because, that was the token of love she gave to her cousin, Prince Liang, when she was young.

At that time, he said he had lost it long ago.

She remembered that she had secretly gone to look for her cousin. It was the end of July in summer and there was a heavy rain in Kyoto.

The air was filled with boredom and heat.

The rain wet her sleeves.

But she just felt as if she was in the cold wave of winter.

That day, my cousin was so determined.

She completely gave up.

But who would have thought that this purse had always been carefully kept by my cousin.

She opened her purse and inside was a letter written to her by Princess Liang.

original.

My cousin has never let her go over the years.

However, in the face of imperial power, children's personal affairs are more important than the stability of their country and the empire.

They must give up their personal feelings.

Over the years, Prince Liang and his wife have appeared loving and harmonious in front of outsiders, but in fact, they are just friends of gentlemen.

When Prince Liang left Kyoto with his wife for two years, they returned with a child.

In fact, the child was just picked up by the couple, but they told others that the child was born by the Crown Prince's Consort.

Over the years, Prince Liang has never touched the Crown Princess.

Upon learning about these secret pasts, Queen Ye Jingzhen felt a sharp pain in her chest.

My body felt weak and powerless, and everything in front of my eyes was blurry.

Before she fainted, she gave the purse and the letter to her confidant for safekeeping.

"Fourth sister, tell me, why didn't he tell me..."

"Over the years, he allowed me to misunderstand him like that, and he never explained it to me..."

The Queen's voice was a little hoarse.

Ye Jingzhao held his elder sister's hand tightly, took out his handkerchief from his arms, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his elder sister's eyes.

"Big sister, you just gave birth, don't cry and hurt your eyes."

"I, I understand, but, it's just in my heart..."

How could she let go of the knot in her heart that she had finally let go of, now that she suddenly knew the truth behind it?

Everything is beyond our control and is just fate.

Now, she is no longer Ye Jingzhen, the eldest daughter of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.

But the queen of this new dynasty.

The Queen Mother who is high above everyone else.

She has her own husband and her own children.

The past that used to be blocked in my heart has long become history.

I shouldn't remember it anymore.

But she also needs to vent some emotions now, and these emotions cannot be told to others.

Only in front of her sister can she show a bit of true feelings.

Ye Jingzhao coaxed his elder sister to sleep, then went to the outer room to instruct the palace maids to prepare food.

I went to see the newly born Princess Gua again.

The two babies looked extremely cute, and many people gathered around them to take care of them.

Although the emperor was unable to leave the front court, he would occasionally order people to visit him.

The moon was high in the sky when everyone in the Cheng'enbo Mansion left the palace.

But that night, Ye Jingzhao had something on his mind, so he didn't go to bed until midnight.

She couldn't help tossing and turning, and all she could think about was what her elder sister had said to her today.

Ever since the Queen became pregnant with twins, everyone in the palace has been extremely careful.

Even the requests of ladies for an audience on ordinary days were mostly rejected by the empress dowager.

How could the Kyoto noble families not know about such deep love?

But Princess Liang sent such old things and letters at this time.

What kind of thoughts are you having?
"Why did you think of meeting Princess Liang?"
