The empress dowager was seriously ill, and all the concubines in the harem came to serve the sick and accompany her.

The Queen Mother didn't want to see anyone, so she just wanted to see the snacks.

Originally, the disease is severe. Children should not be around, but Yuan Qingling does not have this taboo. It is not a contagious disease. It is a blessing to stay by your side by your side.

So Yuan Qingling simply lived in the palace and could bring her children to see her at any time. In addition, she knew medical skills and was with the Empress Dowager. If there was any emergency, she could be treated in time.

Therefore, during these days, the Queen Mother was in the hall with her almost all day long.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Empress Dowager looked much more energetic and could sit up and eat a bowl of porridge. After eating, she felt her mouth was faint and wanted to eat some pastries, so Yuan Qingling asked someone to make it.

The palace began to prepare for the Queen Mother's funeral earlier. All arrangements were handled by the inner court and the Ministry of Rites. Everyone seemed to have prepared in their hearts, and the harem was waiting for the Queen Mother to die.

But today I saw the queen mother having a good appetite and could sit up. This was something I had never tried since the condition worsened. Everyone seemed to see hope again.

Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, a banquet was set up in the harem.

The Queen Mother got better this day and said she wanted to go out to the harem to take a look.

The weather was getting colder again. Emperor Mingyuan did not allow it at first, but she insisted on going, so she had to prepare a carriage and ask someone to carry it out of the pavilion to sit.

The palace was very lively today, with lights hanging everywhere. In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, strings of red lanterns were hung in the imperial garden. There were riddles of guessing outside each lantern. The queen mother sat inside, watching the young royal children and girls guessing hard.

The lively atmosphere has always been very high, because there are many programs arranged in the palace today, and I have specially organized a opera troupe, and I will wait for a while to have lunch before the gong starts.

Fresh lotus seeds were sent up, and Yuan Qingling peeled two for the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother didn't eat much, but she liked the taste, "This lotus seed is like life, first bitter and then fragrant, and the aftertaste is sweet and long."

"Then you eat two more!" The imperial concubine hugged the tenth prince next to her and said with a smile.

"No, eating this thing is like life. You can stop eating it easily, don't be greedy." The empress dowager suppressed her hands, turned her head to look at the tenth prince, and smiled and frowned, "Why is this child getting fatter and fatter? He has to go back and catch up with his second brother."

Princess Sun looked at her brother-in-law and smiled, "You are really said, look carefully and you are a shrinking dick."

Yuan Qingling also took a look and couldn't help laughing. It was true that King Sun was the plus version of the Tenth Prince, all of whom were fat heads and big ears and round-faced appearances.

She smiled and said, "This is a rich look, good."

Princess An asked, "Didn't you hear my second brother say you want to lose weight? Why didn't you achieve results?"

Princess Sun said angrily: "You listen to him? How many times a year said that he wanted to lose weight. He had never seen it successfully. He couldn't control his mouth. If he didn't eat a meal, he felt that the sky was about to fall."

"I saw it cleared a little last year."

"That's because he was injured when he was attacked and wanted to avoid food. He simply said he would lose weight and eat when his health gets better. He doesn't like to move. He is really a pig."

Although Princess Sun buried her husband, she was full of smiles in her eyebrows, which shows that she liked her very much.

Rong Yue peeled the curtain and asked the Queen Mother, 'Old Madam, do you like more ten princes or more snacks?"

This question is so sharp that everyone looked at the Empress Dowager, and even Concubine Hu turned her head to look at it.

Yuan Qingling pushed Rong Yue for a moment, "Who likes more? They are all the old lady's heart and love them the same."

Rong Yue's mouth is sometimes really a pity.

The Queen Mother looked at the tenth prince and said kindly: "The Crown Princess is right, they all like it."

As she said, her eyes drifting out, and when she saw the dim sum and snow wolf, the faces of the three little apples were red, and they were all royal children. Naturally, she loved them the same, but these three children were caring and intelligent, and it was normal for human beings to love them a little more.

The Queen Mother looked at the royal descendants in the garden with satisfaction. The autumn sun made the entire palace full of golden light. She felt a little hungry and asked someone to get a bowl of dumplings.

There were ten glutinous rice balls in a bowl, but she couldn't eat them after eating five. However, she thought that the glutinous rice balls were to be reunited, so even if she was full, she could barely eat the rest.

After eating, she called the dim sums over, reached out to touch their faces, and looked nostalgic and loving. "If there is anything else to be reluctant to leave, it is these children. I really hope to watch them grow up and have children."

Everyone felt a little sad after hearing these words.

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, you can definitely see it. You have to choose a concubine for them in person."

The Queen Mother stared at her for a long time before sighing softly, "I am afraid that few women in the world can match them, and they will be wronged by anyone who marry."

Yuan Qingling smiled, "Grandma, they are not amazing babies, and you are not afraid of others' jokes."

The Queen Mother said proudly: "Whose treasure is married, who will be blessed by the girl in the family."

Baozi held the rattan ball in his hand and said in a muffled voice: "Grandma, I'm going to marry you when I grow up. How delicious is your house."

When the empress dowager heard this, she was stunned and laughed. Everyone was so happy that they could not write it out.

The queen mother's eyes were wet and looked at the bun, "Remember the words of the great grandmother, when you get married, your mind is the most important thing. You should be like your mother, don't be like you..."

Her words stopped, her eyes were a little dark. Although she didn't say it, everyone knew that she was talking about Concubine Xian.

Yes, you must never marry a concubine like this.

After lunch, the opera troupe started, and the Supreme Emperor also came to see him personally and sat with the Queen Mother. The Supreme Emperor was very rare, holding on to the Queen Mother's hands all the way.

All the princes and princes also came with their families and sat down to watch the show together.

In the Caile Hall, the sun is covered with sunshine, golden yellow leaves are flying, and white clouds are floating under the blue sky. In this time, it seems to be transparent and quiet. Even the butterflies playing with flowers stop, listening carefully to the full moon singing song.

The empress dowager's head slowly rested on the shoulders of the Supreme Emperor.

A happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Her husband, her children, her grandson, and her great-grandson were all around her, and her eyes slowly closed during this peaceful day.

At the end of the opera, the Supreme Emperor stretched out his hand and gently hugged her shoulders, sighing lightly.

All the red lanterns in the entire palace were taken off and replaced with white lanterns. The inner palace had already prepared these.
