Chapter 202 Dark under the lamp
Chapter 202 Dark under the lamp
The next day, Anhuo came to Su Yu's door as usual, and Su Yu saw him as soon as she opened the door.
Su Yu looked at his master who was tired and had a stubble on his face, and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so tired?"
Anhuo handed him a few books in his arms and said, "The escort agency is looking for someone and is a bit busy recently."
Su Yu said: "No wonder, Master has lost a lot of weight in just a few days of not seeing him. Eat more today to replenish your energy."
"Yeah," Anhuo responded.
Su Yu looked at the books in his hands: The Book of Songs, The Book of History, The Book of Changes, The Book of Rites, and The Spring and Autumn Annals. These were exactly the Five Classics among the Four Books and Five Classics, exactly what he needed.
Su Yu looked at Anhuo with great surprise and said: "Thank you so much, Master."
Su Yu happily put the book into the study. When she came out, everyone had gathered. Everyone was present today, no one was absent.
Anhuo shouted: "Let's go."
Everyone lined up in an orderly manner and set off jogging back and forth. When the morning exercise was over, An Huo saw that everyone still seemed full of energy. It seemed that they had obviously adapted to the current intensity.
Anhuo thought to himself that it was time to move on to the next stage of training.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was exceptionally warm and harmonious. The queen mother sat back on the chair, her posture still dignified and majestic. At this moment, she was chatting enthusiastically with Su's mother, with a rare smile on her face.
After the careful care of Aunt Qinxin over the past few days, and with the help of many others, the empress dowager's health has greatly improved and she has regained much of her former energy and spirit.
Looking at the clothes on her body, the Queen Mother's eyes sparkled with admiration, and she praised repeatedly: "Oh, thank you so much for troubling me. You specially made clothes for an old woman like me. Look at the craftsmanship. How can your hands be so skillful?" It was obvious that the clothes were made to her liking.
After saying that, she proudly began to show it off in front of Aunt Qinxin like a child who had obtained a favorite toy, and her movements were full of undisguised boasting and satisfaction.
Aunt Qinxin watched quietly from the side, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. She hadn't seen the Queen Mother look so childlike and innocent for many years. Her joy and happiness were beyond words. She couldn't help but feel happy for the Queen Mother, as if her own heart was filled with joy as well.
The Queen Mother secretly admired in her heart that Madam Su was already extremely beautiful, and now it seemed that she was not only outstanding in appearance, but also so clever and dexterous, which was truly rare and precious.
Mother Su was like a pool of gentle spring water, and she whispered softly, "It just so happens that there is a piece of silk in the warehouse that is the right color for you, Madam Jiang. I just made a set of clothes casually. How can it be as good as you said, Madam Jiang?" However, even though she said this, the smile at the corner of her mouth was as bright as the spring sunshine, and she couldn't suppress it no matter what.
Nanny Wang behind her looked at the smile of the lady in front of her and felt very distressed. Her young lady had rarely heard words of praise from the elders since she was a child. Now she was so happy just by the praise from an elder whom she had just met.
The Empress Dowager always called herself Madam Jiang in public. Her original name was Jiang Zhen'er, so it was not a lie to say that.
Aunt Qinxin also smiled and said: "Mrs. Su and Mr. Su are both kind-hearted people. We are lucky to have met Mr. Su. Otherwise, I dare not even think about the consequences."
Whenever Aunt Qinxin thought about what happened that day, she felt a pang of fear.
Mother Su said in a gentle voice: "Madam, Aunt Qinxin, you are both too polite. I don't feel bored these days with you accompanying me."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "That's great. I feel the same way. After coming here, I feel that it is much more lively than at home.
I have been lying in bed these days, and I have heard from Qin Xin that the food in the mansion is particularly delicious. Today I am well, so I must try it carefully."
Su's mother said: "I get along well with Madam Jiang, so you can live here as long as you want. It will be more lively here with more people."
So when Su Yu, Su Wanwan, and An Huo entered the flower hall together, An Huo was stunned by the scene before him.
The empress dowager he had been searching for for several days was actually sitting in the flower hall of the Su Mansion. He couldn't have been hallucinating or dazzled by the sight of someone trying to find her.
Su Yu and Su Wanwan walked in and greeted politely: "Mother, Madam Jiang", and then they sat down in turn.
Su Yu saw that the master had not come yet and was still standing at the door like a door god. He looked as if his soul had been sucked away and stared at Madam Jiang.
Su Yu stood up and pulled Anhuo over. He asked, "Master, why are you standing at the door? Do you know Madam Jiang?", and then pulled him to the table.
Su Yu's action successfully made the Queen Mother and Aunt Qinxin, who were chatting happily, see Anhuo. They naturally knew Anhuo, after all, he was the personal servant of King Ye.
The first thing An Huo said was, “Too…”
Then he was glared at by the Queen Mother, and he immediately stopped talking and changed his words: "I'm so hungry, let's have breakfast quickly."
Seeing that his master seemed very curious about the old lady, Su Yu introduced them to Anhuo: "Master, this is Madam Jiang, and this is Aunt Qinxin. They are the two elderly people that your disciple rescued a few days ago."
Anhuo looked at his disciple Su Yu and said that he felt very sad. He clearly said that he saved a homeless old man, but could the empress dowager really be considered homeless?
If Su Yu knew, he would just say, Master, I didn’t say I was homeless, but I did lose my pass and can’t go back, so I’m homeless, right?!
Anhuo felt that his heart was very complicated. He was happy that he finally found the empress dowager, but he also regretted that he had passed by the gate of the Su Mansion countless times but never went in to check. This was what was meant by "the darkest place under the lamp."
Every time he took a bite of food, he chewed it for several times with gritted teeth to vent his inner depression.
My younger sister Su Wanwan opened her eyes wide and asked curiously: "Master, is this tofu hard to chew?"
Anhuo said seriously: "Master is exercising his teeth."
Su Wanwan said with admiration: "Master, you can come up with such a difficult method, you are really amazing."
Anhuo thought that the difficult part should be how the master should explain to his own prince his stupid behavior that made the prince worry for several days in vain.
However, Su Yu felt that something was wrong with his master today, but he couldn't find out the specific reason.
After the meal, Anhuo wanted to talk to the Queen Mother or Aunt Qinxin in private about the situation, but the Queen Mother came to him first, and Aunt Qinxin was on the side to keep watch.
The Queen Mother whispered in Anhuo's ear: "Don't reveal any of my whereabouts to the prince."
Dark Fire...
"ah?".
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she took Aunt Qinxin away.
Dark Fire...
Ah, what should I do? This, this, this... The Queen Mother is still angry with her own prince.
