Empress Dowager Zhu paused, the first emperor had said in her ear more than once that the emperor's temperament was soft, even if he wanted to inherit the throne in the future, he was afraid that he would be bullied by the courtiers, she thought that the first emperor was only because he didn't like her, so he didn't like the emperor, but now looking back, if the first emperor really didn't like the emperor, why bother with her?

She couldn't help but think that every time the first emperor said this, she would always say that she was too old-fashioned, and she couldn't make her own decisions about the actions of the emperor.

Could it be that the first emperor meant to say these words because she disciplined too much?

No! No way!

Empress Dowager Zhu repeatedly denied this idea.

She is the daughter of the Zhu family, the Zhu family has always been a scholarly family, and the children she teaches are naturally unlikely to be cowardly! This must be because the first emperor didn't like her to be too rigid, so he didn't like the emperor either.

Empress Dowager Zhu looked at Emperor Wen with wide eyes: "This is prejudice!" The first emperor has always been biased towards the literati, these emperors should know better than the mourning family, how can the prejudice of the first emperor be imposed on the mourning family? ”

Emperor Wen coldly watched the change in the expression on the Queen Mother's face, and suddenly felt a little sad.

The queen mother did not see the true meaning of the first emperor in her life, just as he didn't understand it at the beginning, he always thought that the first emperor didn't like him, the first emperor was tired of him, and even came to the school on weekdays to take his own coursework was the most rigorous, but he was very fond of the king of Thailand and the king of Rui, not only gave them the opportunity to go into battle to command the army, but also let them assist in government affairs, and made the six departments into a miasma.

In contrast, no matter whether he practiced literature or martial arts, the first emperor was always silent whenever he saw it, otherwise he sighed, and the disappointment on his face was not hidden.

It was he who later managed the six departments in an orderly manner, and his father did not show him an appreciative look, it seems that in the eyes of his father, he will never be as capable as his brothers, and he will always be the one who is buried.

It wasn't until the King of Thailand launched a palace change that he had the opportunity to enter the eyes of his father.

But even at that time, his father didn't show any appreciation for him, just shook his head and sighed, I don't know whether he was disappointed in him as a person, or felt that Jiangshan Sheji was not at ease in his hands.

It wasn't until the night before he ascended the throne that he entered the Stargazing Pavilion and saw the scrolls left by his father, that he gradually understood that the favor of the emperor was very fatal for a prince, and if his father favored him too much, he was afraid that now he would become the king of Thailand and the likes of King Rui early, and he would not have the opportunity to ascend the throne.

Emperor Wen glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhu, and sighed faintly in his heart, the queen mother always thought that the first emperor did not like literati, so she was tired of the Zhu family, but she didn't know why the first emperor did not like the Zhu family.

Thinking of this, Emperor Wen no longer had the idea of talking, turned his head to look at the sunlight outside, and said in a low voice: "The hour is not early, don't delay the queen mother's lunch." ”

Where can the Empress Dowager Zhu sleep, it was not easy for the Zhu family to come out, how could she be buried by the emperor's words to bury the opportunity of the Zhu family.

She hurriedly said: "Emperor, if you still care about some old feelings and your grandfather's friendship with you, you can't ruin Brother Xuan'er's future!" ”

Emperor Wen couldn't help frowning, and his face was a little impatient: "The queen mother is too worried, Brother Xuan is still doing editing in the Hanlin Academy when she comes back, and the Hanlin Academy is full of old scholars. ”

The old scholars of the Hanlin Academy have always been dedicated to studying books regardless of the government, even if they are the head of the Hanlin Academy, they are only in charge of the Hanlin Academy, although they are not in the cabinet, but if Brother Xuan is really devoted to books, he will be in the position of his career, it is not easy to know at a glance.

When Empress Dowager Zhu heard this, she couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up, "Emperor! Are you going to cut off the Zhu family's career? ”

This loud sound resounded through Ci'an Palace, and the dust that fell in the darkness flew up and down in shock, and was beaten by the sunlight outside, churning up and down in the air into beams of light.

Emperor Wen paused, turned around and glanced at Empress Dowager Zhu, was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, and laughed: "Queen Mother, have you forgotten that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhu choked suddenly, looked at Emperor Wen in disbelief, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she asked affirmatively for a long time: "You... Are you still complaining about me for that woman? ”

Emperor Wen didn't answer, but raised his eyes and looked at the transparent glass windows installed on the doors and windows of Ci'an Palace.

Many years ago, Empress Dowager Zhu also used such a sentence to remind him, and now he has returned this sentence, which is really in line with the sentence of cause and effect.

Emperor Wen smiled, and his voice was low: "The queen mother is too worried, those are just the past, if the queen mother is idle, I want you to bother more about the queen's funeral, after all, it is the daughter-in-law you chose, it is not good, you have also taken care of it for so many years, she is now going first, that is, who will preside over her funeral, she always has grievances, or you will preside over it." ”

After speaking, Emperor Wen turned around and left.

Empress Dowager Zhu still covered her chest and stared wide, stretched out her fingers and trembled to point at the back of Emperor Wen's departure, and kept muttering: "Fruit... Sure enough, you're still blaming me, or blaming me for opposing your inclusion in the door......"

Aunt Shu Yue saw Emperor Wen walk out of the inner hall, bowed in to serve, and saw the appearance of the Empress Dowager Zhu's panting, so frightened that she hurriedly strode forward, holding the Empress Dowager Zhu with one hand, helping her to balance her chest with the other, and said straight in her mouth: "Empress Dowager, don't scare the slave maid, Empress Dowager!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhu shook her hand again and again: "...... Emperor... are still complaining about me, and they still hate me because of Concubine Yan's affairs back then......"

Aunt Shu Yue was very surprised, what did the Queen Mother say to the emperor, that she could make trouble to the point that all the old accounts were turned over?

There were doubts in her eyes, but she didn't dare to ask, so she could only comfort her by following Empress Dowager Zhu's words: "Queen Mother, don't be anxious, you must have thought wrong, where is the overnight feud between mother and son?" The emperor is the son of your in-laws, your blood and bones, even if there is any dispute between mother and son, even if you quarrel, not to mention where does Concubine Yan have anything to do with you? That's the queen's sin, don't think about it, you see that you are in a hurry, you are easy to get angry, if you are sick, the emperor does not know how much to feel sorry for you, you can take care of the phoenix body for the emperor! ”

"He can't wait for the queen mother of the mourning family to die early, where will he feel distressed?" Empress Dowager Zhu's eyes widened, and she finally gasped for breath, and when she heard Shu Yue's advice, she couldn't help but scold, "If he was distressed, he wouldn't have summoned Brother Xuan back from the northwest!" He is going to kill Brother Xuan, and he will cut off a way for the Zhu family to live! ”

It was a matter of government affairs, and Aunt Shu Yue didn't dare to answer this word, but only comforted the queen mother: "You and relax, this day is still long, when the emperor's anger is gone, you and the emperor are the mother and son of the in-laws, what is there to say?" ”

Under such repeated relief, the Queen Mother endured the general's breath back, thinking of what Emperor Wen said before leaving that she would let her handle the queen's funeral, her eyes narrowed, and she had an idea in her heart.

……

On this day of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, all families were almost done visiting relatives and friends, and Chanyi invited Xiao Qing to come to the house for a small gathering.

Xiao Qing and his sister-in-law Zheng went to Prince An's mansion together.

Because there was another snow in Yunfu City a few days ago, Chanyi invited the two of them to swim in the lake with great interest, around the smooth stone road next to the Bihu Lake, holding the hand warmer in his arms, and walked around for half a circle, but he didn't feel cold, and he was tired, and a few people sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, looking into the distance through a thick glass window, and there was a white scenery everywhere.

Xiao Qing has been detained at home for the past few days to get married, she has a temperament, and she has been impatient for a long time, and she is not too tired to walk in a few laps at this moment, and she still has the appearance of dancing eyebrows, but it makes Chanyi and Pei Er|grandma Zheng can't help but look at it.

Because it was close to noon, Chanyi simply let people move the charcoal stove, roasting venison in the pavilion in the center of the lake, the three of them surrounded the stove, and from time to time heard the sound of oil dripping on the charcoal fire, and the aroma of the barbecue was diffuse, making people salivate.

Xiao Qingyuan was familiar with Chanyi, seeing that he was about to become a family, and he didn't see her, he picked up the venison roasted by the maid, and dipped it in the sauce and ate it with a mouthful, and said vaguely: "These days are really tormenting, the second sister-in-law is the first time to celebrate the New Year at home, and Daddy is an old-fashioned face, the loss is that the second sister-in-law has always been used to it, if you change people, you will really vomit bitterness." ”

Chanyi was a little puzzled when she heard this.

Zheng smiled tactfully and explained: "My father-in-law has always been strict, and he doesn't like to talk about the government at home, that is, he talks about it, and he also discusses it with his husband in the study, and Sister Qing is eating her husband's vinegar." ”

Chanyi then understood that Xiao Qing was originally a boy, and he had experienced a lot of ups and downs with Xiao Wei or his second brother outside, and now because he was to be married, he was protected by General Xiao, and he felt a little unaccustomed to it, so he would vomit bitterness in front of people close to him, and every woman to be married would be a little melancholy, which she also deeply understood.

Xiao Qing was willing to admit that she was being jealous, and hurriedly retorted with wide eyes: "Daddy called the second brother to discuss political affairs, but he went behind my back, don't you know it?" I'm not a three-year-old child, since I came back from Fujian, Daddy has always bypassed me intentionally or unintentionally, I know in my heart that Daddy must be discussing things about Fujian with my second brother! ”

Chanyi was shocked, and the chopsticks holding the venison didn't hold it, and the venison fell into the small dish where the sauce was placed with a "pop", splashing out a circle of sauce.

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the cloth towel.

She smiled apologetically, wiped the sauce on her hands casually with the cloth towel, and looked at Xiao Qing: "What Sister Qing said, what does Fujian have to do with Second Brother Pei?" ”
