I still couldn't sleep after dawn, my body was tired, but my spirit was even more excited. Seeing that there seemed to be movement on the side of the temple, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went out, rushed to his mother before the ministers, and shouted "Ah Niang" at the door without waiting for the palace people to report, and the mother laughed inside, and the voice came from the inside, melodious, and rested for a long time: "Come in, aren't you still sick, why do you get up so early?"

I lifted my skirt and entered, and from a distance, I saw my mother standing in it with her clothes scattered, and bowed hastily, and then got up: "The things in the wooden box given by A-Niang have seen all the things, and I have come to report to A-Niang." "It's not that it's important, it's just that I didn't sleep all night last night, and the palace people rarely have to report to my mother, if she blames Shou Shui for this, it's not good, it's better for me to say it myself, so as not to burden the little guy."

My mother squinted at me: "Just for this?"

I saw that she was in a good mood, so I leaned over and said with a smile: "I stayed up all night to finish reading, so I came to talk to my mother." The mother immediately frowned and said, "When is it not good to see, but at this time—is it because of etiquette?"

I didn't know where Shouli had provoked my mother, and how any bad thing could be brought to him, so I complained bitterly in my heart, and hurriedly defended: "He went to bed early, what did he do? But I slept a lot during the day and less at night, so I looked for something to look at at random, and I was fascinated if I didn't want to." ”

The mother was still a little displeased on her face, but she didn't say more, but said, "After reading it, I'll ask someone to fetch some more for you." Don't look at it today, but be born and raised in the temple, and don't come out at will. ”

I hurriedly said: "Even if I catch a cold, I'm much better now, I don't have to make such a fuss, how boring it is to be confined in the temple." ”

My mother glared at me: "If it's boring, I'll skip it with Wan'er, it just so happens that various states and counties have sent a lot of birthday notes, and it's time to use you." "I was already dressed while I was talking, so I was left in the Qi Temple, and I rode outside.

Wan'er was also left here, and I looked at her, and she instructed the palace people to pack up her mother's things, and then came to me and asked, "Does the princess go and lie down on the couch for a while, or do you go to read a few letters first?" There are more books to celebrate her birthday this year than last year, and I am afraid it will take a while, or you can take it back and read it slowly. ”

It is the important task of the country, even if it is a birthday and a dedication to auspiciousness, there is also a special person to take inventory and keep it, such as me or those who write excerpts for my mother in Fengge Luantai, can only read in the designated place, and the past notes are also kept in the secret pavilion, not allowed, the prince and prince, can not be read without authorization, but Wan'er asked me to take it back - I glanced at her suspiciously, and said vaguely: "It's better to watch it here." ”

Wan'er knew my concerns, so she only smiled and said, "In this case, the concubine asked them to set up a table for the princess." "Go out and give a few words, and when she comes in, she nods to me, and I follow her to the side hall. There was a circle chair and a large desk in the middle of it, which was obviously the mother's seat, and there were several seats on each side, except for the last seat on the west side and the first seat on the east side.

There is a small incense burner on the left side of the last seat on the west side, and the incense in the furnace is not exhausted; the bookcase on the east side is obviously new, and in addition to the seats, there is also a thick brocade mat on that one, and there is a small table next to the table, on which are placed a pot of freshly brewed tea tea, a plate of hot four-color pastries, a plate of sweet sweets, and a stove and an incense burner are placed several times.

It was already more than half of February, and it was not very cold, but there were still five large copper furnaces lit in the hall, one in the center and one in each of the four corners, to warm the room—the windows on both sides were open, and the small doors that connected with the outside were also open, not only for fear of hurting people by charcoal, but also because the hall was too hot.

Wan'er and I sat down left and right, each doing their own things in front of the case, but she was meticulous, kneeling in front of the desk, except for the hand holding the pen, the whole person was almost motionless. I was stimulated by the warm heat in this room, and I felt a little sleepy, skimmed a few volumes, my eyelids were heavy, and I glanced at Wan'er a little embarrassed, but she smiled and said: "The Queen Mother has instructed that if the princess is tired, she will go to the back couch and lie down for a while." ”

I followed her guidance to see a room separated by a screen behind the circle chair, which also contained a couch, a chair, a dressing table, etc., and fell on the couch, and when I woke up again, I heard a voice, it turned out that my mother had come back and was meeting the minister outside. Such occasions have never been for me to take part in, but I am here again, and I feel a little frightened, so I got up and went down to the ground, and tiptoed to the side of the screen, where a palace man was standing, and when he saw me, he hurriedly waved his hand and told me to go back, and when I saw that my mother knew that I was behind, I was relieved, and quietly moved back, and sat on the couch to listen to them.

There are not many people outside, and the voice of the person who is speaking now is high-pitched and full of energy, and when he hears it, he knows that it is Pei Yan: "The Queen Mother's mother is in the world, and she should show the world and the public, how can she be private with her relatives and not see the defeat of the Lu family?"

Recently, these prime ministers all love to mention the Empress Lu, lest their mother come to the dynasty to weigh the system and break the rules of the court, but they don't know that their mother will even do it to the emperor in the future, how can they be afraid of any "defeat of the Lu family"? Sure enough, I heard my mother speak leisurely and said lightly: "The Lu family appoints the living with authority, and the relatives are feudal, but I only chase the deceased, and what harm does it do to the country and the family?"

Pei Yan was in a hurry, and said in a loud voice: "Preventing the slightest mistake and taking precautions is the long-term way of the sage." ”

Mother sneered: "Back then, the political affairs of the DPRK and China were all from Zhu Lu, and now, Wu Chenghei has just attacked an ancestral Zhou Guogong, Wu Sansi is only a scholar, and he has recently resigned from the governor's affairs, Pei Gong thinks that my martial arts family is comparable with the Lu family back then?"

Pei Yan was silent, and I couldn't help but hold my breath, paying attention to the movement outside, but I couldn't hear anything. The hall was as quiet as night, except for the tea bowls touching when the mother drank tea, there was no other sound.

After a long time, it was so long that I couldn't hold it back, and when I secretly changed my breath, Pei Yan opened his mouth again: "That's the case, minister, obey your fate." ”

The mother put down the tea bowl and made a muffled "bang": "Do you still have any objections?"

I heard Wu Chenghe's voice say loudly: "The minister has no objection. Then came the echoes of the others.

There was a slight smugness in the mother's voice: "If there is no objection, just hand it over to someone to handle." When the others withdrew, they specially called Pei Yan: "King Huo is in the capital, and Pei Gong doesn't walk around with his in-laws?"

Pei Yan said: "Recently, I have been busy, and the minister has always stayed in the province, and he has not returned home, let alone relatives and friends. ”

Mother smiled: "King Huo is an elder of the clan, he is old and virtuous, and he is the in-law of Qing, it is rare to enter Beijing, and no matter how busy he is, he must always see him." ”

Pei Yan promised and retired again.

I can count that everyone is almost gone, Fang poked his head from behind the screen, and saw his mother sitting there waving to me, so he hurriedly went out, and was about to salute, but was waved by his mother first: "I want to chase the ancestor of the king, set up the seven temples of the Wu family, and make an ancestral hall, and let Zheng Bo follow the Wu Sansi main sacrifice ceremony, what do you think?"

I was stunned, and I understood that my mother was going to send Zheng Bo back to Wenshui on business, so she came to ask my opinion, and said with a smile: "He can do things for A-Niang, and he is also a sacrifice to the ancestors of the Wu family, which is very good." ”

My mother corrected me: "He is not doing things for me, he is doing things for the country." ”

I said: "I know that A-Niang's mother is in the world, A-Niang's private affairs are also the official affairs of the country, but Aye, A-Niang, this is one, A-Niang's father, although the name of the grandfather, but I am really like a grandfather, although I do not follow A-Niang's surname, but the blood relatives, how can it be distinguished by a small surname? ”

My mother laughed at me, but she said, "The words are beautiful, I told you to do some small things, and you didn't write a word, and people are already asleep, and you can't wake up." ”

I said: "Things are naturally prioritized, such as the birthday and other things, it is a common practice, later and later, not in a hurry, chasing the ancestors, but it is a big deal, sloppy, so I even heard it in a dream, I woke up at once, and hurriedly came to share the worries for A-Niang - it's a pity that A-Niang has her own judgment, and I can't use it." ”

My mother patted me: "I gave you another box, take a good look at it, don't be lazy." Tomorrow, I will go back to the city today, will you go back with me, or will you go home and stay for a few days before entering the palace?"

I naturally said: "Accompany A-Niang back to the palace." Thinking of Ah Huan, my heart was full of joy in my eyes. 166 Reading Network
