home in the end

Chapter 272 The Queen
After such a rough and tumble day, Mo Ge'er's status as the heir is half-determined. Although he is only four years old, Hou Yunping has begun to pay attention to the children's education. Even Mrs. Tai is a bit strict with Mo Ge'er.

Liang Yimei looked at her youngest son shaking his head and looking at his father in a daze, and couldn't help but feel guilty again. Among the five children, Mo Geer was the first to receive education.

So she always stopped Hou Yunping and asked Mo Geer to play with a few older brothers, "The child is still young, we can't deprive him of his childhood fun just because he wants to provoke the Changping Houfu in the future, let's take it slowly."

In this way, Mo Ge'er was a little more relaxed.

……

Liang Yimei and A Tao were talking about the Dragon Boat Festival gift for Liang Yimu and the others, Ying'er hurried in and reported: "Ma'am, some people came outside and said they want to see Mrs. Tai."

"Did you say who it is?"

Yinger shook her head, "Looking at their words and deeds, they don't look like ordinary people.

Liang Yimei put down the gift list, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

Liang Yimei walked to the second door and saw the person wrapped in a cloak. Even though she had only met once, and after many years, Liang Yimei recognized him at first sight.

Liang Yimei stopped for a while, and said to Ying'er in a low voice: "Call someone to call Hou Ye back, the honored guest has arrived!" Liang Yimei laughed at herself, she should be regarded as an honored guest, the current empress dowager!

Liang Yimei stopped ten steps away from her, led A Tao and others to kneel down, and said in a clear voice: "Welcome to the Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager looked at the woman whose back was straight even though she was kneeling with interest, and after a long time said calmly, "Let's get flat!"

Liang Yimei thought she would make things difficult for her, but she didn't expect to let her go so easily.

Liang Yimei stood up, bowed her head and stood at the side, respectfully said: "I don't know that my mother is coming, I am far away from welcoming you, I hope my mother will forgive me!"

The Empress Dowager looked at her with a half-smile, "It's Ai's family who came here uninvited, it's rude!"

Liang Yimei said she didn't dare, but the expression on her face didn't change, she turned sideways and said, "Master Hou has gone up the mountain, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while, so you might as well go to the living room to rest for a while."

The Empress Dowager felt a little appreciative, "No need, Ai's family came to see Mrs. Tai this time, you should take Ai's family to see Mrs. Tai directly."

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Tai is not in good health. Master Hou ordered not to disturb her, and the concubines can't go easily, so let's wait for Master Hou to come back. It's a coincidence that Your Majesty came. A few days ago, Master Huiyuan sent someone to see her off. There are two or two red robes here, I heard that the empress likes this kind of tea, why don't I ask someone to make a cup for you, then I will send someone to invite Lord Hou to come back."

The temperature in the Empress Dowager's eyes faded away, staring at her coldly, Liang Yimei felt a chill in her heart, but she still stood there with her head bowed and smiling.

The Empress Dowager felt a little cold, not to mention that she was the biggest existence in the harem, even ordinary aunts and grandmothers who returned to their natal homes never stopped them from seeing their biological mothers, and they were not daughters of concubines...

Yes, their relationship has already become like this!

The Empress Dowager followed Liang Yimei to the living room, Liang Yimei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Tai was not careful a while ago, she had too much trouble with a few boys, and caught a cold, but she got better in the past two days, Mrs. Tai is getting older, so I can't do it now What a stimulus!
Liang Yimei personally served the tea, the Queen Mother took a sip, and praised: "It is indeed good tea. It is rumored that you have a good relationship with the master, it seems to be true, this Dahongpao only gets six taels a year in the palace."

Liang Yimei smiled slightly, and was about to say something when Mother Rui walked in.

Liang Yimei's eyes narrowed slightly, the queen mother also got up, just as Mammy Rui was about to kneel down and worship, the queen mother asked someone to help her up.Nanny Rui is the dowry maid of the Empress Dowager, and Hou Yunping is usually very polite to her, and she watched the Empress Dowager grow up, so naturally she would not make things difficult for her.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Tai invites you to go over."

Concern flashed across Liang Yimei's eyes, and Mammy Rui shook her head slightly at her, so Liang Yimei had no choice but to stop and watch as Nanny Rui took the Queen Mother away.

As soon as he left, Hou Yunping rushed back. He looked around and frowned slightly.

Liang Yimei said: "Mother invited her over!"

Hou Yunping looked at Mrs. Tai's yard, "It's good to let them talk."

The two stood guard outside the courtyard, and the people brought by the queen mother retreated outside, standing respectfully.

Two hours later, the queen came out from the inside with reddish eyes, saw Hou Yunping, paused, looked at the handshake between Hou Yunping and Liang Yimei, and said, "Fifth brother, take good care of mother!" After that, she bowed and walked over. The two left with her men.

Hou Yunping was in a complicated mood for a while, and his heart was slightly sour. He had already guessed the purpose of her coming, and he closed his mouth slightly, but he still didn't call her!
Liang Yimei felt a little strange, but she still didn't ask any questions, she was just worried about Mrs. Tai, so she pulled Hou Yunping to see her.

But Mother Rui came out and said: "Master Hou, Ma'am, Mrs. Tai said she wants to be quiet, you go back first, the five young masters are not here to greet you."

"The mother's body..."

"Ma'am, don't worry, Mrs. Tai is fine!"

Liang Yimei turned to look at Hou Yunping, Hou Yunping said: "Please take care of mother, we'll come back tomorrow to say hello to mother."

Sister Rui nodded.

It's just that Mrs. Tai seems to have made up her mind not to see them. For three days in a row, Mrs. Tai didn't come out, and the naughty five children stopped running outside. They started guarding the door from time to time, and Brother Jin even cried a lot. , even though he is 11 years old, he still has the temperament to laugh when he wants to laugh and cry when he wants to cry!

The Mrs. Tai in the room was also in a bad mood. She took out the memorial left to her by the old Hou Ye, but what she thought was what her daughter asked her: "...in the eyes of father, the king is more important than us family members... I retreated again and again, but my father still refused to let her go! Mother, tell me, what would you do if you were me?"

"I don't feel sorry for my father. I and him are just superior! It's just my three younger brothers, but they are my sins. They are the nightmares of my life. I'm sorry for them, and I'm sorry for Xiao Wu!"
"I often think, if my father was like Xiao Wu, would he turn a blind eye and let her and me go, so that nothing would happen!"

"Mother, I thought my father treated you differently, so I never thought that he would put a memorial on you. He always didn't want you to work on external affairs. Even if the first emperor suspected him and wanted to give him a beauty, He will still send those people far away, and only guard you wholeheartedly!"

"..."

Mrs. Tai trembled and lit the memorial on the fire, with tears in her eyes. She gave birth to five sons and one daughter in her life. The eldest son died in the battle, but the three sons died in the battle between their father and sister. In the process, they didn't even understand why until they died. To this day, she even lost her daughter!

"..."

Brother Jin burst into tears suddenly, Liang Yimei was taken aback, the needle in her hand tilted and stabbed her hand, A Tao saw the blood beads, said "ah", and hurriedly helped to stop the bleeding.

Brother Jin suddenly ran outside.

Liang Yimei's complexion changed slightly, she pushed A Tao away, and chased after her. Brother Qiao and Brother Qian were coming here slowly, when they saw her younger brother running out crying, they looked at each other, and quickly spread their legs to catch up.

Brother Jin wanted to run, but no one could catch up with him. When Liang Yimei ran to Mrs. Tai's yard, she heard Brother Jin crying and calling "grandmother" inside.

Liang Yimei's face was pale, A Tao also thought of something, her face was pale, and she almost couldn't stand still, Liang Yimei pushed A Tao's hand away, her voice trembling: "Go and call Lord Hou!"

As he said that, he walked in quickly. In the room, Brother Jin was holding Mrs. Tai and was crying with tears all over his face, and Nanny Rui was embarrassingly persuading him.

Seeing Mrs. Tai's eyes still open, Liang Yimei felt a little relieved, and quickly stepped forward to pull brother Jin up, "Why are you crying, get up quickly, don't press grandma!"

Brother Jin's crying gradually subsided, but he still hugged Mrs. Tai and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Tai hugged Brother Jin, "Brother Jin doesn't want to part with grandma, so stay with grandma!" Turning to Liang Yimei, she said, "Don't scold him either, if he didn't come here..."

Mrs. Tai was a little disappointed. She just felt hazy, as if she was going to float away, but she only turned around when she heard Brother Jin's voice suddenly.

Mammy Rui also had some tremors. She saw the third young master running in just now, and hurriedly followed, but she saw Mrs. Tai lying on the couch with her eyes closed...

Afterwards, Mrs. Tai put her arms around Brother Jin and asked, "How did you know something happened to grandma?"

Brother Jin rubbed his head and smiled silly.

Hou Yunping looked at his silly son with a smirk, and was about to slap him with a slap. Mrs. Tai quickly stopped her, and said angrily: "In the future, none of you are allowed to slap him on the head. Brother Jin is obviously smart. If you didn't like to slap him on the head every now and then, we would Brother Jin might be even smarter!"

"That's right, that's right, Erzhu said that his grandpa never slapped them on the head, they always spanked their butts!"

Mrs. Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You silly child!"

Brother Jin pouted and said in disbelief: "Grandmother just said I'm smart!"

Everyone in the room laughed, but the atmosphere of joy did not last long. One month later, the queen mother and Concubine Ou issued an edict to be buried because they missed the emperor. Concubine Ou was buried together in the mausoleum.

The emperor and all the officials knelt in front of the Palace of Compassion and Ning to stop it, but the Queen Mother and Concubine Ou both committed suicide.

When the Hou family received the news, it was already the next day. Mrs. Tai was silent for a long time, and waved: "You go, I will take care of your children at home!"

Liang Yimei felt that Mrs. Tai seemed to be ten years older.

Hou Yunping took Liang Yimei to the palace for the funeral, and stayed for seven to seventy-nine days before returning.

The night before going back, Hou Yunping entered the palace. When he came back, his expression was a little solemn. Liang Yimei looked at him worriedly. Hou Yunping couldn't help smiling when he saw him, and said in a low voice: "It's been five years, and the position of the emperor has been secured. Things have to be brought up on the agenda, after returning, the three children can no longer be so laissez-faire, although they don't inherit the title, but they can't let them die in vain."

"You, you want to go to war?" Liang Yimei was a little puzzled, the imperial court was so easy to get rid of Hou Yunping, so it is said that they would not use him!
Hou Yunping shook his head, "Of course they have to fight for their fame! Let alone them, even Mo Geer can't sit back and enjoy it!"
