Chapter 345 Replacement

The three of them drank tea and talked for a long time, Zhou Jingran accompanied the two to Wanshou Palace to ask for peace to the Empress Dowager Cheng, Wanshou Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager, although the Empress Dowager Cheng was unwilling to move away from Yuncui Palace, but she didn't say much, etiquette and rules, for her, she must keep it.

The Wanshou Palace is lively, the concubines Sun, Dai, Shufei Zhang, Xinna's concubines, with two princes and a princess, are all happy in the Wanshou Palace and doing their filial piety.

With the spread of the inner servant, the hall that was lively and laughing was silent all of a sudden, and even the second prince Zhou Shijing, who had just turned one year old, was careful to lie in the arms of the nurse, and he didn't dare to say quietly.

Li Xiaonuan sighed sadly in his heart, in the end, it is the emperor's house, there are only rules and regulations, Cheng Ke paused at the door of the hall, hung his head, and was about to retreat, this full of concubines, he followed up, it didn't seem appropriate, Zhou Jingran turned around, grabbed Cheng Ke, and said casually:

"You're getting more and more pedantic!"

Empress Dowager Cheng straightened up from the middle couch and beckoned Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan,

"Come here, I'm about to ask you something."

Cheng Ke agreed repeatedly, followed behind Zhou Jingran with a smile on his face, and went into the hall, Sun Guifei and Dai Guifei were in front, leading everyone to bend their knees to Zhou Jingran to salute, Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan lowered their hands to the side, and waited for everyone to see the salute, before they took a few steps forward and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager Cheng.

Zhou Jingran sat on the armchair in front of the couch, watching the two kowtow to say goodbye, Cheng Ke kowtowed, got up and retreated behind Zhou Jingran, standing with his hands down, Li Xiaonuan smiled gently and respectfully, took a few steps back, and respectfully bowed his knees to Sun Guifei, Dai Guifei and Zhang Shufei, Sun and Dai looked at the Empress Dowager Cheng, and affectionately helped Li Xiaonuan, Zhang Shufei looked at Dai, and also followed the affectionate and polite let Li Xiaonuan, Sun stepped forward affectionately and took Li Xiaonuan's hand, and introduced her to several newly promoted concubines.

Zhou Jingran and Empress Dowager Cheng were talking, as if they didn't see the lively salutes and introductions next to them, Empress Dowager Cheng looked at the Sun family who was introducing Li Xiaonuan to several new concubines, and sighed secretly, my son's harem, there is no one who really understands the general situation, the princess of Runan, the future princess of Runan, what are you doing to make friends with the concubines in the palace? Empress Dowager Cheng straightened up slightly, beckoning Li Xiaonuan,

"Come here, sit here, there's something, I'm going to ask you about it."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly turned to the front of the couch, sat sideways on the edge of the couch, and looked at the Empress Dowager Cheng with uneasy and confused eyes, Empress Dowager Cheng laughed out loud, pointed at Li Xiaonuan, turned her head to look at Zhou Jingran and said:

"Look at her like this, I haven't spoken yet!"

Zhou Jingran glanced at Li Xiaonuan, and replied with a smile The Queen Mother's words,

"Stupid messing around again?"

"That's not it, the pair of canaries you asked people to send before, I thought it was something in the south, my mother must like it, so I sent it to Ruizitang to honor my mother, and my mother sent someone early yesterday morning, saying that I wanted to ask for another pair of such finch, but it happened that the canary was that pair, I just want to ask Xiao Nuan, can I change a pair of birds next to me? Tell me, what kind of finch mother can like? ”

Empress Dowager Cheng said, turned her head to look at Zhou Jingran and explained:

"Mother's temperament and preferences, Xiao Nuan knows best."

Li Xiaonuan raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, looked at Empress Dowager Cheng with a weak heart, and said in a low voice:

"Queen Mother······ Don't bother, don't ······ Spoiled the finch, yesterday I had a pair of sparrows caught and sent over. ”

After Empress Dowager Cheng was stunned, she slowly raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Xiaonuan,

"Dumb again? What's going on this time? Could it be that you can eat those canaries? ”

"Well, it's soup."

Zhou Jingran just took a sip of the tea served by the inner waiter, didn't have time to swallow, and squirted out all of a sudden, the inner servant hurriedly stepped forward to take the cup, Zhou Jingran took the handkerchief from the inner servant and wiped his hands, his smiling face turned red, and he turned his head and nodded at Cheng Ke,

"I've always seen you as a rough man, but now you look like you're a very elegant person."

Cheng Ke looked at Zhou Jingran with a distressed face, Empress Dowager Cheng raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, she didn't know what to say for a while, Sun Guifei looked at everyone carefully, and stepped forward to make fun:

"I heard that Ah Ben also likes to tear books, this is really called burning the qin and cooking cranes."

The smile on Zhou Jingran's face froze, gradually narrowed his smile, turned his head to look at Sun Guifei, and asked abruptly:

"Is the queen better today? When is the pulse diagnosed? Did you adjust the formula? Is it the same recipe as last time? ”

Sun Guifei was stunned, she had not been to the queen's palace for more than ten days, Empress Dowager Cheng looked at Zhou Jingran deeply, straightened up, looked at Sun Guifei and commanded:

"The queen is sick, you and Dai are presiding over the harem, you should be more concerned, the pulse case prescription, you have to use more heart, if the queen is not in good spirits, you don't have to go over every day to ask for peace, so as not to disturb her recuperation, but the gift can not be wasted, every other three days and five days, you also have to go over to say goodbye, okay, it's still early at this time, a few of you will go to the queen's palace to ask for peace."

Sun Guifei's face was pale, she retreated to Dai Guifei's side, led everyone, and bent her knees to withdraw.

Li Xiaonuan hung her head slightly, her eyes and nose looked at her nose, and her nose sat upright, Queen Meng's long-term illness and recuperation, even such a big gift on New Year's Day, it was also said that she was sick, quiet as if there was no such person, but several brothers of the Meng family were extremely important, Queen Meng's two brothers, now one east and one west stationed on the North Third Road, are already important members of the army, the inner courtyard of the palace, pay attention to balance, there are pets without children, there are children without pets, there are no children without pets, and the mother's family can gain momentum.

Li Xiaonuan accompanied the Empress Dowager Cheng, casually talking about some homely things, worried about the ancestor's doting on Ah Ben, and distressed about the ancestor's more and more vigorous energy and temper, Zhou Jingran leaned comfortably on the armchair, drank tea slowly, and didn't speak, just listened to the two chattering about those trivial things, Cheng Ke stood behind Zhou Jingran with his hands down, looking at Li Xiaonuan boredly.

Li Xiaonuan accompanied Empress Dowager Cheng for more than half an hour before withdrawing and getting into the car at the palace gate.

Cheng Ke took Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan raised his hand to take off the heavy step shake on his head, leaned on Cheng Ke's arms, and breathed a sigh of relief, Cheng Ke lowered his head and kissed her on the face, and comforted her in a low voice:

"Don't worry, the icing on the cake in our family is not a year or two, one generation or two generations, there is nothing to worry about."

"Hmm."

Li Xiaonuan squeezed into Cheng Ke's arms, and made a plausible 'um', Cheng Ke hugged her tightly, with a hint of a smile in his voice, and then said:

"Xiaojing is only twenty-six or seventeen years old this year, even if he only lives to the age of the first emperor, there are nearly thirty years, don't worry, I grew up with Xiaojing since I was a child, he knows me, I also know him, I listen to you, in the future, the two of us will have fun every day, and watch others make contributions."

"I'm not worried about you, I'm stupid."

Li Xiaonuan frowned and said in a low voice:

"The emperor's temperament is too cold, and the harem is ······ In this way, you see, there is no one who can talk to him, the eldest son and the second son of the emperor today, alas, you see, my aunt doesn't look down on those two children at all, and I don't look down on me, Ah Ben is a very smart person, I'm afraid of ······"

Li Xiaonuan looked up at Cheng Ke,

"He messed around, and I didn't care about him, at this time, it's better to mess around than to be sensible."

"Well, the lord is weak and the minister is strong······"

Cheng Ke groaned for a long time, looked down at Li Xiaonuan,

"It's too early to say this, I'll look at it in ten or eight years, Ah Stupid, just mess around, just be measured, my father and I discussed it, and I thought that I would be knighted after the New Year, and I was originally ······"

Cheng Ke laughed,

"Originally, my father planned to take the ancestors back to the south for the rest of his life, but now I don't have to worry about this, the ancestors have a stupid, is not going anywhere, after the New Year, I will accompany you back to Xiali Town, when I came back, I and the emperor asked my father-in-law and mother-in-law to posthumously seal, about the New Year can be edicted, I will accompany you back to a trip, and then go to Shangli Town to live for a few days, come back and then bend to Hangzhou Mansion, you have not always wanted to go to Hangzhou Mansion to see? Let's play all the way. ”

"And Suzhou Mansion!"

Li Xiaonuan's eyes lit up with excitement,

"Okay, let's play all over the two Zhejiang roads and come back, and when we come back, we can't go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers like this."

"Hmm."

Li Xiaonuan stretched out his hand to hook Cheng Ke's neck and kissed him heavily on the lips, Cheng Ke lowered his head and kissed her gently, kissed her ear, and said in a low voice:

"Don't worry, everything has me, let my father accompany the ancestor and Ah Ben back to the south next year, that is our root, there are many things, I will tell you slowly in the evening."

The next day, Zhou Jingran suddenly made a decree to the Runan Palace, a "Shun Emperor Emperor's will" how to seal Li Xiaonuan as the eldest princess of Anfu, Li Xiaonuan took the will, but a little crying and laughing, this eldest princess, the Yuan Hui Dynasty has been the eldest princess in the past dynasties to get the title of the eldest princess, what is the matter with her? Besides, what does she want the eldest princess to do?

But with this title, she entered the palace again, as long as she gave the queen mother, the queen, and the imperial concubine three people to greet them, Li Xiaonuan instructed Lan Chu to collect the eldest princess's clothes and chariots, and excitedly prepared for the Spring Festival and the return to Shangli Town after the festival, she discussed with Cheng Ke, and no one agreed that she should take Ah Ben, Cheng Ke refused to take that bastard boy, the old lady and the princess, and even the prince, were worried that Ah Ben was too small, 'I can't stand the hard work on the road!' ”
