As soon as Zheng Bo's appointment was issued, he entered the palace. Miyamen didn't inform me, but reported directly to my mother. It took two hours for my mother to send someone to call me over, and at that time I was learning to play Go from Ah Huan and Cui Mingde, and my mother called me to the Jixian Palace, and I saw Zheng Bo kneeling at the bottom of the stairs from a distance.

I passed him into the temple and saw my mother lying on the couch in light clothes, wide and slow. There were seven or eight female histories around her, in addition to a few of the few that Su Ri had obtained, there were also two female doctors - Tuan'er led a few waiters to hold a towel on the side, Wan'er took all kinds of colorful things from the plate held by Tuan'er and others and wiped them on her mother's face, a few Shang Gong accompanied to talk, and two female doctors, one on the head and one on the feet, each of them pushed and pinched for her mother.

When I entered the door, the inside and outside had been raised and heard, and when I got closer, my mother opened her eyes slightly, stretched out her right hand, and I hurriedly held my mother's hand and called, "A-Niang." He knelt down and was sitting on the side of the couch, thinking about something, but he could only smile and ask first: "Is this the new recipe developed by A-Niang?"

Mother smiled: "It's Wan'er according to the ancient recipe and the new tune, I'll try it first, I don't know how to test it." ”

I said: "Then I'd rather not have it - Ah Niang is already so beautiful, if we use these maintenance methods again, the beauty is even more beautiful, what are we going to do?"

My mother was so amused by me that she wanted to laugh, because some of the fat on her face had dried up, and it was not easy to move, so she squeezed my hand: "Nonsense, I am already an old woman, how can I be better than you young little girls, don't coax me." ”

At this time, I didn't need to speak, naturally there were a lot of people who welcomed and touted, saying that my mother was naturally beautiful and did not lose to girls, and coaxed my mother to be excited, and said: "Don't worry, wait until I try it, and see that this recipe is really good, so I will give one by one." ”

When I saw someone flattering my mother, I didn't intervene, but turned my head to look out slightly, and my mother squinted at it, smiled lightly, and said, "Let him wait." ”

I didn't want to mention this matter more, I talked to my mother all the way, and after she got up, washed her face, and changed her clothes, Fang Dekong talked about Zheng Bo: "Didn't A-Niang promise to hand over this matter to me?"

My mother glanced at me: "The ancestral hall of the imperial court is newly appointed, don't you want to meet me, the queen regent?"

I was speechless for a while, my mother ordered Zheng Bo to come in at this moment, and when he was fully saluted, he didn't call up, Zheng Bo just opened his mouth to say the word "Taiping", and was interrupted by her: "You are new to your post today, can you go to the Ministry of Officials to visit the cabinet elders and court officials?"

Zheng Bo also had some eyes, and said respectfully: "I don't thank the Queen Mother, I don't dare to worship the chief first." ”

The mother smiled and said, "It's okay, then I'll see you tomorrow." ”

Zheng Bo glanced at me secretly and lowered his head. Zheng Bo wanted to mention me several times, but his mother interrupted him, so he only said official business, and after thanking him, he retreated to the door, raised his eyes and glanced at me, and said in a low voice: "I received new bamboo shoots at home, stewed them into clear soup, and made gold and silver rolls, although not as good as the palace, I always tried it first, if the princess is free, I will go home and have a meal and then enter the palace." ”

I bowed to my mother and me, and slowly withdrew.

I didn't want him to say such things suddenly, stunned for a long time, and finally didn't know what to do, my mother looked at me with a smile: "Before you got married, I was afraid that you were an only daughter, pampered since childhood, getting along with your husband, and not knowing the way to retreat from yin and tenderness, but now it seems that I am too worried." However, there are some things, once you retreat, you are virtuous and gentle, and then you retreat □□, you are weak and incompetent, you have to remember. ”

It turned out that she thought that I was seeking an official for Zheng Bo to retreat and advance, and I am afraid that Zheng Bo also thought that I was trying to show "virtuousness", so she said that. However, my original heart is just to use my mother's power to allow her to be a knight in exchange for his ignorance of everything I do - with the current etiquette, if he really goes against me to the end, it is not good for everyone to make trouble, it is better to make three chapters with him, he is free to put a concubine in the house, and I am free to get along with Ah Huan outside, and each other is bridged to the bridge, and the road is to the road, and the two have nothing to do.

Now it seems that Zheng Bo has misunderstood something.

I smiled bitterly in my heart, and I could only respond with a smile on my face, and when my mother saw my appearance, she suddenly felt a little displeased: "I look at you in the former discipline palace, but you are still too kind." In the past, it was under my nose, but now that you are out of the palace, you still have to take care of many things yourself, don't be as childish as before, understand?"

I was startled, secretly glanced at her, and saw that she didn't look very angry, so I grabbed her hand and said coquettishly: "A-Niang said yesterday how old the children are, and they are all children in front of the grandmother, but today they hate me - didn't I do something wrong to make A-Niang angry? If so, A-Niang and I said directly, I will definitely change." ”

Mother slowed down and said, "It's not that I hate you, it's just that you're also old..." pinched my hand, and suddenly changed the conversation: "Is there still a heartache in the past few months?

I said: "I haven't committed it for seven or eight months, and several Fengyu have seen it, saying that as long as you take care of it, it will be fine." ”

But the mother still said, "Call them all tomorrow and take a look at them for you." ”

I vaguely felt that there was an unfinished meaning in her words, and I didn't dare to ask, just about to talk as usual, when I remembered that my mother had thought I was weak, so I was busy straightening my body and obeying the order.

My mother was very leisurely in the morning, and at this time she seemed to finally remember the affairs of the court, and ordered someone to bring the song and let me read it to her. Ah Qing stood outside, and there were only me and Wan'er in front of my mother, so I knew that it was an important matter, so I picked it up carefully and read it one by one.

The first few were all persuaded to move the capital to Luoyang, and the signature was either Zhuwu, or my mother's cronies - there were rumors about moving the capital, and they brought it up at the moment, but it was just a situation, and sure enough, my mother listened to me read it, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes." Wan'er handed the song to her mother to draw a word and put it in one place. The mother also asked, "Have you already prepared for the change of official position and other matters?"

I didn't know that looking at Wan'er, she took out a long scroll from a pile of notes and handed it to me: "I have drafted some, please ask the Queen Mother to judge." ”

She used the word "holy" again. My heart jumped, I glanced at my mother, but saw that her face was calm, and there was no displeasure, I opened the scroll, and found that it was the music of the Ministry of Rites: "Please change Luoyang Palace to Taichu Palace, Shangshu Province to Wenchang Terrace, Menxia Province to Luantai, Zhongshu Province to Fengge, Yushitai to Zuo Su Zheng Tai, add right Su Zheng Tai, provinces, temples, supervisors, rates, etc. are all renamed according to righteousness; official positions and prefects are then renamed; the flag is changed to gold; those who serve the green are to serve Bi..."

The mother nodded while listening, and when she heard half of it, she suddenly smiled and said, "This is not Wu Sansi's original recital, did he ask you?"

Wan'er bowed down and said: "According to the Queen Mother's instructions, I copied some of the sources of official positions in the past dynasties, and did not give them names one by one. ”

The mother smiled slightly, and also smiled.

There are more than 20 other volumes about transportation and taxation in various places, but I am not familiar with them, and I am not very smooth to read, but fortunately, my mother was not angry, and occasionally explained a sentence or two to me. Today, I began to know the subdivision of the rent and the difference between the various battles, and I was afraid that I would not be able to remember, so I asked for a pen and paper with a twist, and prepared to record them one by one on the paper, and my mother smiled and said, "Let Wan'er copy a copy for you." "He refused to let me be the secretary on the spot.

I knew that our participation in political affairs was a secret matter and could not be publicized, so I stopped mentioning it, and when my mother finished disposing of this batch of matters, I saw that she was lazily stretching her waist as if she wanted to get up, and she was busy helping Wan'er left and right, but my mother only moved her body slightly and said to me: "Since Zheng Langzi said it sincerely, you can go back." If you want to enter the palace at night, you can come, and if you don't want to, you can stay at home. ”

I paused and said, "Didn't A-Niang say that if you retreat □□, you are weak? ”

My mother glanced at me with a smile, her eyes were clearly very satisfied, but she said lightly: "Whatever you want." 166 Reading Network
