In the seventh year of the Heavenly Sage, the first day of the third month.

Under the holy decree in the palace, Li Wanyi during the reign of the first emperor was respectful and kind, and lived in the deep palace after the death of the first emperor to pray for the blessing of the Song Dynasty.

The sudden appearance of the imperial concubine made the ministers scratch their heads, and those who knew about it, such as the eighth prince and others, knew that this concubine Chen was Li Yu, the biological mother of the official family.

From Li Yu leaving the palace to being recovered, few people know the inside story, because this Jin Feng was originally proposed by the Empress Dowager Liu E, and it involved the affairs of the harem, and it did not affect the government and politics, since no one will delve into the reason, although there are discussions, it is only the private speculation and pondering of the ministers, and it is because this Jin Feng matter is like a gust of wind, and it has not caused too many reactions.

But what really caused an uproar among the ministers of the court was the fact that the queen mother entered the temple for the festival and went to the honorific title, and a group of important ministers led by Wang Zeng of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Book Sect strongly opposed this unorthodox thing. However, all the ministers were pressed down by the officials, insisted on doing it, and announced it to the world, and the matter was decided.

Li Yujin sealed, the queen mother entered the temple ceremony, and the two things were decreed on the same day, which is quite meaningful, but the queen mother's affairs are too amazing, so that Li Yujin is the imperial concubine and no one pays attention to it anymore, but there is another concubine in the harem after Concubine Yang.

On this day, after the official family dispersed, he did not go to the Shouchang Pavilion of the imperial study as usual, nor did he go to the Empress Dowager's Baoci Palace, but went straight to the Cuide Hall of Concubine Li's bedroom.

Although the official family ordered the harem not to disturb Concubine Li's recuperation, they could not prevent a group of concubines with a keen sense of smell from coming to congratulate on the day of Jinfeng.

"The emperor has arrived!" , Cuide Hall sounded the news of the inner servant, the concubines were very happy after hearing it, and Concubine Li also breathed a sigh of relief, this group of warblers and Yanyan already made her have a headache, and it happened that the official family came here, but she was overjoyed.

"I wish Your Majesty a blessed bow." It is rare to see Zhao Zhen's concubine busy next to the concubine, hoping to attract attention.

"No courtesy." Zhao Zhen didn't look at these women, and waved his hand to signal them to go back to the palace.

Finally a group of people left, Zhao Zhenfang frowned, hurriedly walked a few steps and knelt in front of Li Yu's feet, and said in a trembling voice, "It's because of the unfilial piety of the son, which caused A-Niang to be exiled for a long time, and now she has to return to the palace." The son was born to A-Niang in October, but she was forced to separate the mother and son for 19 years. Now he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but he has failed to respect his mother as the queen mother, and can only wronged his mother as the concubine, and he calls this word benevolence and filial piety in vain. ”

"Zhen'er, my mother doesn't blame you, whether it's the concubine or the queen mother, Yu Niang is just a false name, don't care too much, I don't feel aggrieved for my mother. As long as Zhen'er is by her mother's side, her mother will be satisfied when she sees that you are safe and happy. Li Yu smiled lovingly, and reached out to help Zhao Zhen sit up on the chair beside him.

Li Yu is only in her early forties now, but she looks much older than the sixty-year-old Liu E, and her thin figure and sickly body make Li Yu a little more sickly, and Zhao Zhen who looks straight at her is sad for a while. Thinking of Liu E's so-called words that the son is precious to the mother, he sneered in his heart, Liu E was the queen with his "son" talent at that time, it was clear that the mother was the son expensive, but now he has empty mouth and white teeth, reversing black and white.

In exchange for the queen mother's honor in the temple in exchange for A-Niang to enter the palace to reunite with him, he didn't feel anything wrong. Now he is only afraid that the Queen Mother will not climb high enough, thinking that he is vain and enduring, isn't it just to wait for that day? Now it's just the beginning! A trace of gloom flashed from Zhao Zhen's eyes.

At this time, it was rumored outside the palace that Concubine Yang was coming, Li Yu and Zhao Zhen hurriedly stopped talking, got up and went to the palace gate to welcome Concubine Yang.

Outside the hall, a woman walked in, medium stature, calm face, calm temperament, although not very beautiful, but luxurious and elegant, looking like thirty people.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly walked up to the woman and called out with a smile, "Little lady." ”

Li Yu recognized this person at a glance as Yang Cairen back then, and now Concubine Yang, nineteen years have passed, and Concubine Yang, who is three years older than herself, is only five points more mature, plus five points of charm, but her face has not changed much.

However, Concubine Yang looked at Li Yu for a long time, and found a trace of familiarity, that is, the gentle bearing and solemn demeanor that have not changed from the past to the present. Seeing Li Yu's now haggard and slightly sickly face, she couldn't help but moisten her eyes slightly, took a few steps forward, opened her mouth, called a few times, and then shouted, "Sister." ”

Li Yu also took out a handkerchief and tried it a few times at the corner of his eye, took Concubine Yang's hand, and asked, "Sister, how are you doing all these years?" ”

"My sister lives in the harem for a long time, she has no worries about food and clothing, and Zhen'er often comes to visit and care, which is comfortable, but she thinks about her sister every day. Thinking that my sister left the palace that year and didn't know where to go, my sister often worried about whether my sister was displaced and safe. My sister has been suffering outside for many years, and now she has to return to the palace, and my sister can still see her sister in her lifetime, and I am really happy to be able to hand over Zhen'er to you in person", Concubine Yang pulled Li Yu to sit down with joy and sorrow.

When Li Yu heard this, she easily opened Concubine Yang's hand, got up and gave a salute, and said, "Thank you sister for your nineteen years of hard work in raising Zhen'er to grow up, I can't always be by his side as a mother, fortunately my sister helps my sister take care of Zhen'er, I don't thank you, this gift sister must accept it." ”

Concubine Yang hurriedly supported Li Yu, patted the back of her hand, and just shook her head. But his eyes inadvertently swept over the palace maids guarding the palace door.

Seeing that she was so cautious, Zhao Zhen hurriedly came to her senses and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, little lady, there are people from Zhen'er outside the palace, you just have to rest assured." ”

Concubine Yang nodded at Zhao Zhen with a smile, her eyes showed approval, and she sighed lightly, "Zhen'er has grown up after all, but I don't need to worry about you everywhere now, but I still need to be very careful in the palace." ”

What Concubine Yang said was quite meaningful, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Zhen understood what she meant, and said, "Little Niangniang, do you have something to tell Zhen'er?" ”

"The personnel in the palace are complicated, and they seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact they are secretly treacherous, just because of the queen mother's birthday, and now the palace is calm. Officials need to remember to pay attention at all times, be careful everywhere, and no matter where they sleep at night, they need to bring reliable attendants to arrange the affairs of the guards, and remember not to be in danger. Concubine Yang said with a straight face.

When Li Yu heard this, he asked worriedly, "What does my sister know?" Is Zhen'er in danger? ”

"Sister, don't worry too much, my sister often tells Zhen'er like this, and nothing happens. It's just that Zhen'er, as the king of a country, should be cautious. Concubine Yang winked at Zhao Zhen as she spoke.

Zhao Zhen nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, A-Niang must not worry about Zhen'er's affairs, now A-Niang only needs to take care of her body, let go of her worries, and only eat, drink, and sleep well every day." ”

Li Yu sneered, "What are you supposed to be a mother?" Eat and drink well and sleep well every day? ”

Zhao Zhen quipped, "Ah Niang and Xiao Niang are both Zhen'er's dependence, and this reliance naturally has to be solid, so that Zhen'er's back is warmer." ”

talked and laughed, but unconsciously when it was time for dinner, Concubine Yang and Zhao Zhen left one after another after finishing dinner in this Cuide Palace.

It's just that Zhao Zhen returned to the Shouchang Pavilion of the imperial study after dinner, his face sank like water, and he waved his hand to let the waiters wait outside, and even Yan Wenying didn't need to wait closely.

Seeing that the pavilion was already quiet, Zhao Zhen turned around and entered the study behind the curtain, there was a bed behind the curtain, which was a place for Zhao Zhen to take a break when he was tired from reading the chapter on weekdays, and the curtain had not yet been lit at the moment, he sat quietly on the couch and called to the dark, "Come out." ”

I saw a flower in front of me, and a man in black knelt in front of the couch and said respectfully, "What's the matter with the master?" ”

"Is there any progress on that?" Zhao Zhen looked down at the man and asked.

"There are eyebrows, it turns out that this person is, and there is still a future on this matter." The man replied in a low voice.
