Liuquan and Zhu Yan saw the Queen Mother smiling, and they were also busy stopping their sadness.

"Since Shu'e went to Yujin Garden, how could the imperial concubine let Chunxi go alone." The Queen Mother said slowly.

"What is the reason for this?" Liuquan asked hurriedly.

"You've always been shrewd, why can't you even guess such a simple truth." The Queen Mother said softly.

Zhu Yan took a cup of tea, handed it to the Queen Mother, and said: "It's because the truth is too simple, so it makes it difficult for people to be gullible." ”

"Shu E went to the palace, and the queen mother was in charge of everything, and Yang Meiren was inevitably isolated." The Queen Mother was fanning in Liuquan's hand, but her body moved closer to the Queen Mother, and she said softly: "Yang Meiren is now in the limelight in the palace. Her position is not high, and she is just interested in holy favor, and the imperial concubine is a person who is accustomed to pure cultivation, so why bother to return to this field. ”

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. The imperial concubine has no children and no daughters in her life, and Chunxi is her own niece and nephew, so she treats Chunxi as if she were her own child. The Queen Mother gently rubbed her temples with her right hand and said leisurely. Zhu Yan had already cleaned his hands in the clear water prepared on the side, and was busy helping the Queen Mother gently rub her temples.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes, her face was very peaceful, and she said softly: "I want to take Shu'e, then the people of the teaching workshop will go with me." Since Chunxi is also going, it is better for me to speak first and let the people from the Dale Department and the teaching workshop follow. In this way, it became Shu'e who borrowed Chunxi's light, and others would not say that I favored Shu'e. ”

"The Queen Mother thinks about Shu E like this, and she says that she is not partial." Liuquan said with a smile.

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh and was silent for a long time.

Zhu Yan glanced at Liuquan and said to the Queen Mother: "Liuquan doesn't know what's wrong today, and he speaks openly. Don't care. ”

"Liuquan said, how can I not know the way." The Queen Mother shook her hand to make Zhu Yan stop, reached out and gently pressed her eyebrows, and said, "Back then, I always mistook Zhen'er. ”

"Where is the Queen Mother, the Queen is a person in the world, and after the election, you really need to be cautious. The virtuous queen can assist the emperor, settle the business, govern the harem, and avoid the emperor's worries; The foolish queen is incapable of governing the harem and adding more worries to the emperor. I am even more afraid that there will be a first-class bewitcher who will confuse the Lord and make the country uneasy. The queen mother thinks about the emperor in many ways, and the emperor will always understand the queen mother's hard work. Zhu Yan said sincerely, "Besides, after the election of the year, there was also the holy will of the first emperor. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, her voice bitter: "The emperor liked Linglan back then, but with Linglan's identity and character, how can she be the queen?" Later, Yihuang and Zhuo Qin entered the palace together, and the emperor fell in love with Zhuo Qin, but I pointed out Yihuang to him as the queen. Zhen'er has been very estranged from the people in the harem over the years, not necessarily because of the incident that established the queen back then. The women I painstakingly chose for him from among the famous families, he just sat idle. Now it's easy to fall in love with the kid of the Cao family, you say, can I still not fulfill him? ”

"If Niangniang wants to fulfill them, why don't you just seal Shu'e as a talented person?" Liuquan smiled.

"It's to make her a beauty and a Jieyu, what's the difficulty? I just want them to spend some time with each other and really have their own wishes. It's also a little compensation for Zhen'er. The Queen Mother said slowly.

Zhu Yan and Liuquan both showed surprise on their faces, and the two couldn't help but look at each other, and Liuquan even stopped the fan in his hand. After a while, Zhu Yanfang asked softly, "Could it be that Shu'e ...... to the emperor?"

"I don't know how to do it, and with her intelligence, how can she not understand my true intention of bringing her close to the emperor? It's just that I always feel that this kid seems to have no intention of treating the emperor. Even, a little dodgy. The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and said with a faint doubt on her face: "But I don't know why......"

Liuquan was stunned, dumbfounded, and forgot to fan. The Queen Mother looked sideways at Liuquan, then turned around, took a sip of tea, and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Liuquan was still silent, Zhu Yan hurriedly went over and pushed her, Liuquan seemed to be startled, hurriedly walked to the Queen Mother, knelt down and said: "The slave was negligent, and I forgot to return to the Queen Mother." ”

"Just say something, and what are you doing on your knees?" The Queen Mother leaned over and said, "Get up quickly." ”

Liuquan said: "It's still the second day of the second month of February, on the night of the day when Shu E first entered the palace, I walked from the corner gate of the Qingshou Hall to the back, Shu E was standing next to the plum tree in the courtyard, and what words were still being read in her mouth. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Liuquan, nodded and said, "What are you reading?" ”

"It's been a long time, but the slave doesn't remember clearly. I just remember what the first sentence was: 'Two or two people were separated at the beginning, and they were tired of the night'. Shu E is Mrs. Yong'an, but she is a palace person, and it is always bad to chant such words. Liuquan said softly.

The Queen Mother looked at the handkerchief in her hand and smiled faintly: "Are you afraid that there is someone else in her heart?" ”

Liuquan bowed and replied, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and nodded: "It's good that you can stop her." When the palace people said such things, the concubines were inevitably suspicious. It's just that this girl is very talented, and she is separated from her relatives at once, and it is not a big deal to chant some poems by the way. You don't have to worry about it in the future. ”

Liuquan hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother said warmly: "Shu'e's movements, it's good to pay more attention." It's the first time Zhen'er likes a woman like this, but his temperament is gentle, but he doesn't express his heart very much. That's why I took Shu'e to his birthday banquet and sent Shu'e to Minghe Hall, all for his sake. This time, I took Shu'e to Yujin Garden, so that they could see each other often. ”

Zhu Yan and Liuquan both covered their mouths and laughed, Zhu Yan said: "Didn't the Chang Lady who served the emperor say that a few days ago, the emperor sent them to Yujin Garden to check how the house was cleaned up, and in the bamboo forest behind Niangniang's Fengzhu Palace, the emperor sent someone to build a new house on top of the original Bamboo Garden." ”

Liuquan smiled: "Why do you care about this house too?" I don't know if we want to go somewhere. ”

"The construction of a new house must have started in May when the emperor went to Yujin Garden to watch the wheat. The wonderful thing is that this garden is also very close to the emperor's Jingyang Palace. Zhu Yan smiled, "It's just that Chang Niangzi said that this palace doesn't have a name yet, but I don't know what the emperor's idea is." ”

"A name, what's the matter, you will know when you arrive. If the emperor specially built a house for Shu E, can he not worry about choosing a name? The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Even if the name is not tight, the name of the 'Bixiao Luan Pavilion' has been changed, and it doesn't matter?" Zhu Yan asked cautiously.
