There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 342 Can I accompany you?
It's strange to say it, obviously she didn't like contact with concubines before, but now Tang Wanning suddenly looked away.Contacts with Concubine Gao became more and more frequent.Concubine Gao Guifei is older than Tang Wanning. She is always in her forties. She has served the palace conscientiously for so many years. Although she is not favored, she has a high enough status and prosperity. It's complete.The other concubines have long since had no other ideas, and they have not expected any favors for many years. Once they do not, their lives will be much easier. Although it is regrettable in the end, it is not too bad to be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives. .Looking at the existence of concubines in the past, there was always the embarrassment of the eldest wife seeing the mistress, but now Tang Wanning doesn't care about that at all.The children left her side one by one, and Xia Houjue's former feeling of love and hatred had long since disappeared. As a result, she just wanted to find someone to talk to.Concubine Gao, who has always been kind and smart, became the best candidate. Concubine Gao knew her condition, so she often came to accompany her.The two can sit together for an afternoon talking about old stories. "I heard that Miss Biyue and Biluo married, and they already had two or three children, and they were deeply loved by their husbands. Their days were really prosperous." "Really? What are they both busy with? " Tang Wanning asked casually while flipping through a travel book.Concubine Gao explained their current situation in detail one by one with a smile. "Miss Biyue's husband has achieved fame, and the emperor has let him wait for a job in the official department. Maybe he can get a good position." "Miss Biluo's husband seems to have achieved success. They are all very important, so you can rest assured." "I didn't have any worries at first, but after hearing what you said today, I don't have any worries." If I didn't worry, I wouldn't let them marry me at the beginning. That said, the eyes of two people are always good.Concubine Gao smiled and talked about other interesting things.

He said that a tree that hadn't bloomed for a long time suddenly bloomed in the Royal Garden, and that the two cats raised in his palace were fighting all day long.

Just chatting one after another like this, time gradually slipped through the fingers.

After seeing Concubine Gao away, Tang Wanning felt a little sleepy, closed the book to cover her face, and took a good sleep on the big kang by the window.

It was already evening when she woke up, watching the setting sun come in from the window piecemeal, watching the purple cloud gauze newly pasted on the window sill turn golden, watching a cluster of begonias on the kang table blooming in full bloom, she momentarily Dazed.

It has been 18 years, and it has been 18 years in a blink of an eye. She came here, and it has been half her life in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the bow and arrow hanging high on the wall, which she hadn't touched for a long time, countless desires and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

For some reason, she always felt that she still had a day to use it again.

Ha ha... She smiled brightly, and thought what was she thinking?Great Xia feasts on the sea and the river is clear, and the country is strong, who would come and invade so blindly?
Even if it came to invade, how could it be possible for a queen like herself, the mother of a country, to come to the battlefield?Really think too much.

When Xia Houjue entered the door, he happened to see Tang Wanning holding a black leather bow in a daze.

He couldn't help but startled, and stepped forward to wrap her arms around her shoulders.

"Want to practice archery?"

"I used to have no time to accompany you, but now I'm finally free, Wanwan? How about I accompany you?"

Tang Wanning couldn't help but smiled wryly: "After so many years, I'm getting old. I don't know how to practice archery. I'm afraid I can't even draw this bow."

But Xia Houjue smiled: "It's okay, so what if you can't pull it away, I happen to be free too, how about we go hunting?"

"But……?"

"Don't worry about it, let's make it so!" Xia Houjue smiled, with anticipation on his tired face.

Tang Wanning pursed her lips reluctantly: "Often you are only 12 years old, are you sure you want to entrust all the government affairs to him?"

Isn't this person too big?Even if you like it often, what about the courtiers and officials?What about the people in thousands of households?
"It doesn't matter, this country will be his sooner or later, we..."

Before the words were finished, the voice of greeting His Highness the Crown Prince sounded outside the door, and in a blink of an eye the bright and agile young man walked in with strides.

Although he was nearly 12 years old, he was already slightly taller than his mother's mother, and Tang Wanning looked a little shorter standing beside him.

The boy's facial features are tough, his eyebrows and eyes are seven points similar to Xia Houjue's, but his pair of delicate and generous thin lips is very similar to Tang Wanning. At this moment, he is smiling, looking at the old black leather bow in his mother's hand.

"I heard that the queen mother was also a hero among girls, she was very good at riding and archery, and she was also a well-known heroine in the Northwest. Why has the son never seen the heroic appearance of the queen mother?"

"I'm old, what is there to be heroic? How many years has it been?" Tang Wanning couldn't laugh or cry.

Often, he took a black leather bow and tried it. He pulled his long arm a few times and then smiled: "This strength is just right for the queen mother. You are a heroine in the middle school, and you are from elementary school. Why don't you take advantage of your young and strong strength?" It's time to practice again, this season is suitable for hunting, so you can go with the emperor."

Tang Wanning has nothing to say, is she young and strong?Thinking about myself, I was only in my thirties, and in modern times, I was only at the working age. Unfortunately, in ancient times, I was also at the age of being a grandmother...

Sure enough, the environment changes people, this sentence is not wrong.

"That's all, you father and son don't know what calculations they are making, and it is rare to agree."

"I'll go, can't I go?"

"Go, go, mother, don't worry, I will take good care of the father and the emperor"

Tang Wanning smiled even more wryly, the father and son didn't know what was going on, one was eager to push down the government, and the other was eager to take over the government.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"Sure, sure, absolutely sure!" There is often a subtle eagerness on his face.

She felt that something was wrong, and when she looked at Xia Houjue again, she had almost the same expression, so she flattened her mouth.

"What are you planning?"

……

In the end, no one could answer her question, and the two of them talked about something vaguely, so they stopped talking about other things.

Tang Wanning didn't take it to heart either, she just thought it was because Xia Houjue was worried that she would be bored in the palace for too long and that she would have a bad life, so she tried to make her happy, who knows...

At that time, Tang Wanning was reluctant on the surface, but in fact, there was still a trace of longing deep in her heart.

So she immediately decided to set off for the suburbs of Beijing. When she was packing up her things excitedly like many years ago, she didn't notice the relieved expressions on the faces of the father and son behind her.
