The Queen Mother's dormitory, Baoci Palace, has always been a quiet and solemn place in the palace, and everyone in the palace knows that the Queen Mother does not like to be disturbed. Because the queen mother hangs the curtain to listen to the government, she only participates in the court during the day, and if there is nothing to do in the court, the queen mother will rest in the Baoci Palace. Except for important festivals, it is impossible to avoid the greetings of harem concubines, royal family, and court wives, and the rest of the day will avoid those unnecessary morning and evening greetings.

After the Flower Dynasty Festival in February, Baoci Palace suddenly became lively, and the official family was originally benevolent and filial, and they would come to greet each other after dinner. But it is a strange thing to come to visit during the day today.

First of all, the official family came in a hurry with anger on his face, and said angrily that he wanted to abolish the queen, but after being stopped by the queen mother, he was persuaded by several important ministers and kowtowed to ask for the retraction of the order, and the official family reluctantly pressed this idea. After that, the queen mother called the sage Cao and the people from the palace to ask for the reason, taught a lesson, and ordered the sage to be grounded in the Kunning Hall to reflect, so as to calm down the turmoil after the abolition.

It didn't stop for a few days, and soon after the official family went down to court, they came to Baoci Palace again. The palace people are secretly beating drums in their hearts, I don't know what happened this time, naturally they can dodge and will not move forward, so as not to catch fire at the city gate, which will affect them These pond fish, but those who are on duty in front of the queen mother but have nowhere to avoid, can only silently ask the Buddha for blessing.

The queen mother was slightly ill this day, and was in the inner room of the Chonghui Palace, leaning on the couch and closing her eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard that the palace maid came to visit the official's house.

In just a moment, Zhao Zhen walked in with a look of concern on his face, and saw that although the Queen Mother did not get up, she was still in good spirits, so she walked a few steps quickly and sat on the chair next to the Queen Mother's couch.

"Where is the eldest lady uncomfortable? Can you see the imperial doctor? Zhao Zhen asked gently.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm getting old and occasionally tired. Official, sooner or later, this government will be handed over to you, and I will be able to live in this harem with peace of mind. The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

"The eldest lady laughed, I think the eldest lady is still healthy, and this government matter still needs more guidance from the eldest lady." Zhao Zhen looked at the Queen Mother Liu E sincerely.

"The official family came here today to find me?"

"It's about the birthday of the eldest mother, Zhen'er should run this trip. A few days ago, Congguang sent a sample of the birthday dress to me, if the eldest lady has no objection, Zhen'er will set three of them for the eldest lady? Zhao Zhen took the decoction brought by the palace people, blew it and fed it to the queen mother's mouth.

"How can there be three? Shouldn't there be just two? The Queen Mother opened her mouth and swallowed a mouthful of the decoction and asked strangely.

Zhao Zhen smiled flatteringly, "In addition to the clothes worn by the eldest lady when everyone worships, there is another one that I need to wear when I enter the temple for the ceremony." ”

"Entering the temple festival? This is absolutely unacceptable, how can the official family make such an arrangement? "The Queen Mother is busy with the right color.

"Big Niangniang, the matter of the Venerable Number is so important, if you don't enter the Taimiao Temple for the ceremony, how can you enter the Taimiao Wende Hall for the Venerable Ceremony?" Zhao Zhen explained.

"I am a woman's body, fortunately the first emperor trusted to assist the official family to deal with the government, the official family is now my honorific title is no longer in line with the ancestral system, if I re-enter the temple festival, and in the Wende Hall on the honorific title, how dare I be?" The Queen Mother was quite surprised that the official family could make this proposal, although this matter was exactly what she wanted, but she still needed to refrain on the surface.

"How dare you not be? The eldest lady tried her best for my Great Song Dynasty, and did her best to assist my Zhao Dynasty, and her merits were comparable to those of the Tang Dynasty, but she did not have the ambition of the Empress Wu, so for my Great Song Dynasty, entering the Taimiao, and the number of the Emperor is worthy of the name, and the eldest lady can not shirk! Zhao Zhen's words were sincere, and his words were agitated and frustrated, and Liu E's smile was full of praise.

"The official family is so benevolent and filial, and he should be a model for the people of the world, and I am very comforted in my heart! That being the case, if I refuse, I'm afraid I'll disappoint the officials' wishes," Liu E stretched out her hand and gently patted the back of Zhao Zhen's hand.

"So good, thank you for the great lady's heart. It's just that there is still one thing to discuss with the eldest lady. Zhao Zhen asked tentatively.

"Oh? What else do the officials need to discuss with me? Now the official family can decide things on their own, and they can make their own decisions on small matters, and there is no need to discuss them with me." Liu E sneered in her heart, how could she not know why Zhao Zhen came here today, and secretly said that Zhao Zhen had gone around in a big circle, but she was waiting for her here.

"Recently, someone privately informed me that it was rumored in the palace that my biological mother was someone else, and now she is still alive. Imagine who in the world doesn't know that my mother is the current queen mother, my eldest mother? Where else could there be? It's just that everything in the world is without wind and waves, as the saying goes, it is easy to fill the ravine, but it is difficult to block everyone's mouth. Zhao Zhen sighed, as if he was quite worried.

When Liu E heard this, she was silent, and she sighed leisurely, looked at Zhao Zhen with love in her eyes, and said, "Zhen'er, since I have talked about this matter, I won't hide it from you, this matter is a long story." ”

Liu E pondered for a moment and recalled, "Twenty years ago, there was a maid named Li Yu by my side, who was gentle and silent, and was very loved by me, so she was favored by the first emperor and was fortunate to be pregnant, and she gave birth to a child after ten months of pregnancy, which is Zhen'er. You also know that in this palace, the son has always been more precious than the mother, and the first emperor was very happy after getting the son, and he also loved you in every way, so he wanted to make you the prince at that time. Although Li Yu was named Wanyi, his status was still low, and the first emperor handed you over to me, declaring to the world that you were my own, and I have long treated you as my own. That Li Wanyi heard slander and misunderstood that I was the one who snatched the son and harmed others, so she quietly left the palace and disappeared. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen's face was agitated for a while, his eyes were slightly red, and he didn't seem to know anything.

Liu E looked at Zhao Zhen's changing expression, her face turned bitter, and she continued, "Then you grow up, I think you will know about it sooner or later, so a few years ago, Jean Congguang secretly searched for Li Wanyi's whereabouts, but there has been no news. Who knew that Congguang suddenly told me recently that he had met her in Bianliang one day, and the day before yesterday he sent someone to pick her up in the palace, but she misunderstood me deeply, so she left again, but now I don't know her whereabouts. ”

The words that reversed black and white were said by Liu E so reasonably that Zhao Zhen's heart jumped when he heard it. Zhao Zhen's face turned pale, and asked, "If you know Li Wanyi's traces, how will the eldest lady place her?" ”

Liu E said with a smile, "After all, Li Wanyi is the biological mother of the official family, if I know her whereabouts, I will send someone to take her into the palace and get together with you, and the official family can crown her as a concubine, so that she can enjoy her old age in this palace from now on, and the official family can also accept her knees, and I will also end this matter." ”

Zhao Zhen also smiled after hearing this, "The eldest lady is really open-minded, but Li Wanyi has misunderstood you for more than ten years in vain. Now I will send someone to find Li Wanyi, if I am lucky enough to find it, and according to the words of the eldest lady, I will enter the palace, be named a concubine, and let her live in this palace for a long time. ”

Liu E nodded with satisfaction and said, "It should be like this, our sisters can also untie the knot of our hearts for many years, and we can walk around each other in the future." I am also very old now, and it would be a great pleasure to see my deceased alive and well. ”

Liu E said this, but secretly thought in her heart that it was really flesh and blood, such a benevolent and filial person from the official family, once he heard about the whereabouts of his biological mother, he always thought about his biological mother and arranged for his biological mother everywhere. Today, this roundabout thing about his honorific title in the Taimiao is probably also planned by his biological mother.

Liu E thought of Liu Congguang entering the palace early yesterday morning to inform him that Li Yu had escaped, she didn't blame Liu Congguang at that time, and she could only sigh that the will of heaven was so inviolable. Now even if Li Yu enters the palace, nothing has changed, it is better to push the boat down the river to take her into the palace, but she can win the heart of the official family. Now it seems that this plan is very good, but it kills two birds with one stone.

And Zhao Zhen was also smiling, looking in a good mood, sometimes diligently handing water and tucking quilts for Liu E, and amusing Liu E with witty words from time to time. For a time, the mother and son in the Chonghui Hall were filial piety, and they seemed to be happy.
