Your Majesty, the Empress is resigning

Chapter 300 There is really no way to accept this marriage.

Following Nangong Moyan to the small courtyard, Luo Qiqi saw that the courtyard inside was just a small courtyard of an ordinary farm through the half-person-high fence, with some vegetables planted, and an old man in a gray-blue cloth coat. The woman was bending over to dig up the soil with a small hoe in her hand, and there were some vegetable seedlings in the basket next to her.

Luo Qiqi's first feeling was that the old woman must be the elder of the hermit's family or something!

Just as he was about to ask Nangong Moyan, he saw that his eyes were already red.

Your Majesty, he...

Seeing the old woman digging the soil in front of him, why did he look like he was crying?

"Your Majesty? Are you alright?" Luo Qiqi asked in a low voice.

Nangong Moyan shook his head, blinked his tearful eyes, said "wait here for me", and walked in alone.

At this time, the old woman in the open space in the courtyard was about to lift up the small hoe, but the next second, the hoe in her hand was already grasped, and when she looked back, the old woman was shocked.

Without saying a word, Nangong Moyan picked up the hoe and began to help the old woman dig the soil. The old woman stood aside, her eyes were moist and she said excitedly, "Yan'er, put it down quickly, don't tire yourself out."

"Grandmother, grandson is not tired, you rest, grandson will help you dig the ground."

Nangong Moyan hadn't seen his grandmother for a long time, and now he finally saw her. Seeing her working here with her own hands made him very uncomfortable.

Luo Qiqi, who was standing outside the fence, saw the scene in front of her and listened to their grandmother and grandson, finally remembered.

I heard from Eunuch Mao before that the Empress Dowager in the palace, who is often accompanied by the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp, lives outside the palace, so she must be the old woman in front of me!

It turns out that the emperor came here today to see the empress dowager!

The Empress Dowager looks old, but she is in good spirits and very tough. Wearing coarse linen clothes, she has a kind face on her face, which can't be seen at all. She was once a pampered and respected woman.

Luo Qiqi couldn't figure it out a little bit, why did the Empress Dowager live such a good life in the palace, but she insisted on wearing hair to practice here in Lingyin Temple?

The Empress Dowager looked at Nangong Moyan, and smiled gratifiedly, "Oh, well...my grandson has not only grown up, but is also sensible, and very filial!"

"Grandma, your grandson is already twenty-five."

"Counting it all together, you and I haven't seen each other for five years!"

The empress dowager had already given up the title of "Aijia" in her practice.

"Yes, Grandmother!"

Nangong Moyan put down his small hoe, lifted his robe, and knelt down on the ground, "Grandmother, my grandson pays tribute to you. I wish my grandmother a happy life."

"Don't be too polite, Yan'er, get up quickly, you are the emperor, with a body of ten thousand gold..."

The empress dowager personally helped him up, and Nangong Moyan hugged his grandmother. For a moment, the scene where the grandparent and grandson met was extremely touching.

The Empress Dowager burst into tears, Nangong Moyan's eyes were red, and even Luo Qiqi outside the door got wet when she saw it.

Nangong Moyan let go of his grandmother, looked at her skinny appearance, and said, "Grandmother, follow your grandson back to the palace! Your grandson doesn't want to see you suffering outside without anyone to take care of you."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, "Yan'er, the imperial grandmother is not guilty, I live here every day to eat fast and chant Buddha, for the sake of cultivation, and also for the sake of Longyue's community to accumulate virtue and good fortune."

"However, you are alone, and you are very old, how can your grandson be at ease?"

The Empress Dowager took his hand and said, "Although I am old, my body is still very strong. If I live in the palace and I am not allowed to do anything, I may get sick from boredom. "

"Grandma..."

"Your Majesty, don't try to persuade me. You are here today for that matter, right?"

"Yes."

"Then go inside and talk!"

When the Empress Dowager turned around, she noticed a young man standing outside the fence. At first she thought it was a girl, but when she looked carefully, she saw that the other party was a man. She asked curiously, "Hey, who is that young man?"

"She is the grandson's personal eunuch, named Xiao Yuan Bao." Nangong Moyan introduced.

"It's better to let him wait in the courtyard!"

"Okay!" Nangong Moyan shouted, "Little Yuanbao, come in!"

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Luo Qiqi ran into the small courtyard and took the initiative to kowtow to the Empress Dowager, "Slave Xiao Yuanbao has met the Empress Dowager, please greet the Empress Dowager!"

"He's a clever little eunuch!" The Empress Dowager nodded kindly, "Let's get back down!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Luo Qiqi got up and stayed in the yard respectfully.

Nangong Moyan gave her a reassuring look, and then accompanied his grandmother back to the room to talk.

Luo Qiqi stayed in the yard, looked at the vegetable seedlings on the ground, and then picked up a hoe. Anyway, she was idle, so why not help me out.

In a shabby thatched cottage.

The Empress Dowager was very concerned about Nangong Moyan's physical condition, and asked him how the poison in his body was doing.

Nangong Moyan replied, "Grandmother, there is no need to worry. To tell the truth, my grandson has already found a miracle medicine, which has cured my grandson's illness. Now my grandson has recovered."

"Okay, that's good!"

The Empress Dowager looked at her grandson who was in full bloom, and said, "Let's talk about the business! A few days ago, Prime Minister Luo came to see me and told me about your marriage contract with Shuang'er. Now the emperor's grandmother is asking you, Why don't you want this marriage?"

"Grandmother, grandson just thinks that marriage should be based on fate. Grandson and Na Luo Lingshuang have never met before, but it is really inappropriate to marry her as his wife?"

"Yan'er, since ancient times, haven't the marriages of men and women been ordered by parents and matchmakers? Besides, who said that you and Shuang'er have never met before? You have met her!"

"When?"

"You may have forgotten when she was in the infancy. She was still a young baby at the time, and her mother brought her into the palace to see me. She might have been frightened and kept crying. No one could coax her well, but Only when you came, she stopped crying. I can still remember how she grabbed your fingers with her little hands, refused to let go, and smiled and giggled at you, so cute! At that time, I I'm happy, and when I'm happy, I'll make a marriage for you and Shuang'er."

The empress dowager recalled the past with a kind smile on her face.

Nangong Moyan really had no impression, and said awkwardly, "Grandson has indeed forgotten."

"Well, I told you about our marriage at the time, and you didn't object, and you even yelled that this little sister was born beautiful, and you want her to be your little lady when she grows up!"

Nangong Moyan blushed imperceptibly, "At that time, grandson was too young, so naturally he didn't understand the relationship between men and women, and what he said was just childish words, which couldn't be counted. Besides, grandson has grown up now, and he has his own heart. , there is really no way to accept this marriage."

The empress dowager knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "Since Yan'er has her own heart, the imperial grandmother will not force you. But you have to think about it, once the engagement is divorced, it will be a big blow to Shuang'er's reputation. In the future, she will If you want to remarry, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Nangong Moyan had considered this relationship long ago, and said, "Don't worry, Grandmother, grandson will definitely comfort Prime Minister Luo's family well, and will compensate Luo Lingshuang if necessary."

"If you ask me, people also need to get along with each other. You haven't even seen the face of Shuang'er when you grow up. How can you conclude that marrying her will not be happy?"
