After waiting for a long time, I heard the maidservant say that the queen had finished grooming and summoned them in.

"Courtiers, courtiers, see the queen's mother, the queen is a thousand years old. ”

It's not a big gift of three kneels and nine knocks, the Qian family and the Yun family are all fateful women, and there are definitely a lot of times they enter the palace every year to ask for peace, and with the status of the Guo family, the queen is naturally very familiar with them.

"Flat, sit down," Empress Jiang waved her hand casually, "Speaking of which, you haven't been in the palace for a long time to ask for peace, but I didn't expect to see you outside the palace today." ”

"Back to Niangniang, I was busy with my younger brother's marriage some time ago, and I didn't go to the palace to ask for peace, I hope Niangniang won't blame me. "The Qian family is neither humble nor arrogant, the queen told her that it is homely, and she doesn't need to pose too low, after all, this is not Chaoyang Palace.

"I have also heard of this palace, I heard that it is the concubine of the Dunsu Marquis Mansion? That child has also seen it in this palace, and your vision is not bad, but why did the third child decide on the fourth child before he decided on a marriage?" Empress Jiang said with a bit of casualness.

Qian said with a smile: "Men and women have to be willing to marry on both sides, people look at the fourth child, can the courtiers still force her to stuff the third child?"

Empress Jiang also looked relieved when she heard this, "That being said, the order of the eldest and youngest should not be messed up, it still has to be decided earlier," said and turned her gaze to the Yun family, "You, who are the second sister-in-law, also have to have a snack, and also help watch the point, if you can't find it, you can come to the palace, and the palace will not choose a bad one." ”

Qian Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "If you really can't find it by then, you will come to bother Niangniang." ”

The polite words on the surface are naturally to come, but unfortunately the Guo family has never liked to marry the royal family, when Emperor Yue wanted to give the princess to Guo Shun, Guo Shun then brought a businessman's daughter Ming Media into the door, since then, Emperor Yue has never thought about taking the initiative to give any marriage to the Guo family. Of course, Guo Shu and Guo Shang are both willing to ask for it by themselves, and Emperor Yue is also happy to be an adult. But in the final analysis, the Qian family is reluctant to let the queen give marriage, according to the current situation, it is very likely that there will be two queen mothers in the future, and it is not in line with the Guo family's principles to get involved now.

Of course, the queen didn't mention this matter again, chatted for a while, and then prepared to get up and go back to the palace, after all, it is one thing to stay overnight, and it is another thing to stay overnight for lunch.

"Speaking of which, the county lord is about to become my royal daughter-in-law, and the palace hasn't talked to the county lord yet. ”

Guo Shu was sitting silently and trying to reduce his sense of existence, but he was suddenly mentioned and looked at Queen Jiang in surprise, not knowing what medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"This palace looks at this county lord very well, I wonder if the county lord is willing to enter the palace to accompany the palace to talk for a few days?" the queen smiled.

Guo Shu's eyelids jumped, this is not an inquiry, but a purpose. Even if the current queen is not as good as before, she is still the queen, and what she says is still a decree that everyone in the world must pursue, and there is no room for refusal.

"The courtier's daughter Xie Niangniang's love, this is the courtier's honor, the courtier's daughter Xie Niangniang's grace. Guo Shu thanked him very cooperatively, with a flattered expression on his face, which made the queen very satisfied, and then chatted a few more words, and then drove back to the palace.

Six horses open the way, this is not a treatment that ordinary people can have, even if there is no guard of honor, people on the street have avoided it, and the road is unimpeded.

However, even sitting in the car, Guo Shu could feel that it was not the road to the palace, and as for where to go, Guo Shu already had a little guess in his heart.

Sure enough, listening to the voice of the guards asking for peace, Guo Shu opened the curtain, looking at the desolate scene of the garden full of carved beams and paintings, Guo Shu closed his eyes, the time was too long, so long that Guo Shu thought he could ignore and forget.

"Hahaha, you can't catch me...... Hahaha, I'm the emperor---- and the others are all ants, ants---- no!!!Don't kill me, don't kill me......" A sharp, crazy voice came from the end of the garden.

The more he listened to this voice, the whiter Guo Shu's face became. There is an old saying that it is not that you do not report it, but the time has not yet come. The day is finally coming.

The queen stepped down, and Guo Shu naturally couldn't continue to sit firmly in Diaoyutai. When the crazy figure rushed to the front of him, he seemed to wake up again, and stood there, as if demented, as if muttering, "Queen Mother...... The queen mother ......" and then clapped her hands and laughed, "Giggles---- giggles---- the queen mother has come to see me, the queen mother has come to see me, and I have eaten...... Eat ......" said and crawled over on his knees like a dog, stuck out his tongue, and rubbed the corners of the queen's clothes affectionately, with a flattering look in his clear eyes, as if he was not crazy before.

The tears in the queen's eyes flashed, she turned her head, as if she couldn't bear it, helped the person on the ground up, adjusted her mood, and squeezed out a motherly smile from the tears, "Well, I'm here, isn't Xiao Quankai happy?"

The man on the ground still maintained the posture of sticking out his tongue, nodding vigorously, as if he was really a dog, and then put it away in an instant, and his eyes seemed to be a little clearer, "Eat, queen mother, eat ......"

He didn't know anyone, not even his mother. In his eyes, the word "queen mother" is only equal to "eating", and perhaps the word "good" can be added. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was once smart and reasonable, has become this ghost in just over half a year.

This is the real reason for the abolition of the crown prince, it is impossible for a country to allow a fool, a madman to become an emperor, regardless of favor, regardless of position, or even party strife. At this point, the reason behind the rebellion of the king of Chu has also surfaced---- the prince, as a political enemy, is the most capable and most likely person to do it, isn't he!

"Okay, eat, come, Xiaoquan come here, come here, oh, there is a lot of food here. The queen took Xiao Hengquan's hand and came to the food box that had been prepared a long time ago. As soon as he saw the food, Xiao Hengquan didn't think about it, he pounced directly, grabbed a lump of things with his hands, whether it was vegetables or pastries, they were all stuffed into his mouth, mixed into a ball.

And the queen always looked at him with a motherly eye, and from time to time handed him a glass of water when he was about to choke. The thing quickly bottomed out, until the last drop of oil was licked clean, Xiao Hengquan seemed to be full, and for some reason he cried again-----, and then it was as if the electricity was cut off, and everything came to an abrupt end. It's like a sculpture, still and without any movement. As if she was used to it, the queen took Xiao Hengquan's hand and walked towards the dilapidated dormitory step by step.

Guo Shu seemed to be unbearable, except for starting to take a look, he kept his head down, his eyes were lowered so that people couldn't see anything, and there were only two attendants who came up, who were quite old, but they were loyal, and they took good care of Xiao Hengquan. Although the clothes on Xiao Hengquan's body are a little dirty, they are neat and tidy, and his face is also very clean, and he still looks a little white and fat.

There is almost no furniture in the dormitory, a bed, a quilt, still in the summer, the quilt is not thick, there is a basin of ice in the center of the room still exudes a hint of coolness, the corners and corners are all wrapped, there is no porcelain, gold, not even a little sharp thing. But there's one thing, it's clean.

Xiao Hengquan did not resist at all, was obediently pulled to the bed, and let the queen cover him with a quilt. A plainly dressed woman led two children, a man and a woman, and quietly knelt at the door.

"The sinner woman see the queen's mother. ”

The voice came from behind Guo Shu, Guo Shu trembled and gave up his seat, but the queen was still unhurried, humming a nursery rhyme in a low voice, until she confirmed that Xiao Hengquan was really completely asleep, she slowly walked to the woman's side and helped them up with her own hands.

"No need, these days...... I'm sorry for you. The queen's mood that had just calmed down was hooked again, she turned her head and took a few deep breaths, and then returned to being the dignified mother of the country.

Guo Shu looked at this waste princess, although she was dressed ordinarily, her body was clean and tidy, there were faint bruises on her hands and neck, there were blisters that had been broken on her white hands, and a few small scratches, and there was a faint smell of oil smoke and chaixin on her body, and there were still a little bruises and obviously tired eyes under her eyes, but her face was still ruddy. The two children only had a refreshing smell of book and ink, but they were not thin, and they looked very sensible and stood aside. Clearly, they have endured too much of a change for their age.

The crown princess said with a decent smile: "The sinner is not hard, I just hope that the queen mother takes good care of her body, looking at the queen mother seems to have lightened a little," and turned her head to look at Guo Shu again, "I don't dare to ask who this is?"

"The courtier Guo Shu has seen the princess Niangniang. Guo Shu took over the conversation and bowed slightly. But the crown princess did not accept this salute on her side, and solemnly bowed: "The sinner woman has seen the county lord of Anzhen, wearing a sinful body, she can't bear the gift of the county lord, and I hope that the county lord will not torture the sinner woman." ”

Guo Shu smiled, "Sister-in-law is serious. Guo Shu squatted down with a smile and looked at the two children, glad that because he wanted to greet the queen, Qian insisted on wearing a pair of bracelets for Guo Shu and matching jewelry, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get a meeting gift at this time.

He took off a pair of white jade bracelets in his hand and put them on the hands of the two children. The two children looked at the crown princess with a smile, but it was the queen who nodded, and the two children stretched out their hands.

The bracelet is obviously bigger, but the two children seem to have got a precious toy, although their faces are tight, they can't hide their joy, and even look at Guo Shu with a little more kindness and a slight flattery. The appearance of the two children fell in the eyes of the crown princess, but it was difficult to hide the sadness. Originally, such things were not uncommon, but now......

The queen said to the crown princess: "The county lord of Anzhen has been given a marriage to King Xu, and it is polite to call you a sister-in-law." ”

"Yes. The crown princess has always refused to lose her manners, and she has not responded to Guo Shu's sister-in-law.

"Are the two children okay? The queen seemed to be at home, and the two attendants pulled the child down, carrying another food box in their hands, which had obviously been prepared a long time ago.

"It's okay, it's just that the sinner woman is not well educated, and the sinner sometimes can't answer Zhen'er's question, and she doesn't know who to ask, so she can only rely on Zhen'er herself, which is a little ashamed. ”

The queen and the crown princess walked while pulling the family routine, and the East Palace of Nuoda seemed to have nothing else except these people, whether it was a subordinate or a former concubine, etc., they were now dismissed without a trace, and they were nowhere to be found. However, in this case, as a waste princess, she can still take care of two children and a waste prince who has gone crazy, just this heart can't help but make Guo Shu look down on her.

A person who used to be high above can bend down to do housework, and can still not forget to teach children in addition to hard work, such a person, no matter where she goes, even if she is low into the dust, she can grow a bud for you. The more tenacious and frank she is, the more she can arouse Emperor Yue's guilt, otherwise, relying on the queen's care, this banned East Palace will never be what it is now.

Quickly walked to the door, the daily necessities were still moving inside, there were not many things, but there were only two people moving, one of them was a palace maid who looked quite old. Guo Shu lowered her head and glanced at it silently, as if she had been following behind.
