Lilac was stunned when she heard Shu E say solemnly, but when she saw Shu E's serious appearance, she couldn't help but smile: "What's more? You know the Tao again. Besides, I didn't say these words, I also listened to Gonggong Lin. ”

Shu E looked outside the door and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother has been hanging the curtain for more than eight years, and the rumors have never stopped. I heard that a secret cabinet manager in the Chongwen Pavilion who is responsible for the proofreading and sorting of the books and classics in the palace, Fan Xiwen [Fan Zhongyan], was demoted because of Shangshu's request for the Queen Mother to return to power. You see that when we came to Yujin Garden that day, why only the queen mother, the imperial concubine, the queen's car and honor guard set off from the square in front of the Chongzheng Palace, but did not see the emperor's carriage and horses? On the same day, Hua Fu also told me that Daqing Gate and Xuande Gate are the main gates of the Forbidden Palace, and the left and right Yintai Gate, Changqing Gate and the left and right doors are all partial gates. And the queen mother's phoenix was from Xuande Gate. ”

"So what?" Lilac frowned slightly.

"Although the emperor's guard of honor and chariot also left from Xuande Gate, they left one more time earlier than the Queen Mother." Shu E said slowly: "Although nominally I came early to prepare for the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine, and waited for the car in Yujin Garden, according to my guess, it is also because if you set off at the same time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor's chariot not only have the problem of which door to enter and exit, but also the order of entry and exit. This one is in order, and the master and slave are separated. For this alone, there will be officials and scholars who will be dismissed. ”

Lilac looked at Shu E as if she didn't understand and said, "Who comes first and who comes last, is there such a difference?" If it is in the homes of ordinary people, even in places like the Han Wangfu, it is the son who lets the mother go first. The emperor and the queen mother, how can they still be so exquisite? What did the counselors say? ”

"If it is in an ordinary family, or even a family of eunuchs, princes and nobles, it is all right. However, only the Emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme can enter and exit the Xuande Gate. The Queen Mother walked from Xuande Gate, how could there be no discussion? Shu E sighed softly: "Because of this, there are words about returning to government or not returning to government." It's only been a year since Dr. Fan's incident, and the emperor is also avoiding taboos everywhere, but now it can be regarded as quieter. Therefore, if you are in charge of a house, you must not talk nonsense. Otherwise, it will cause more trouble and cause trouble, and it will be a matter of hard work for the emperor, but it will be ......"

Before Shu E finished speaking, Lilac couldn't help but laugh softly.

Shu E stopped when she heard this, and said angrily: "Sister Lilac, you are so unconcerned. ”

Ding Xiang smiled: "You know how to think about the emperor." ”

Shu E thought of what she said, and she was thinking about the emperor in her heart, so she couldn't help blushing slightly, smiled faintly, and stopped talking.

Seeing that Shu E began to eat, he put the chopsticks neatly in Shu E's hand and stopped talking.

After Shu'e had breakfast, Zihao brought tea, and Lilac used a copper basin to wash her hands.

As usual, Shu E still let Hua Fu, Lilac, and Zihao serve food to eat on the big table. Because in the palace, the rules and etiquette are not as exquisite as those in the palace, and the secluded fence is a very pure place, so Shu'e always let them move chairs to sit and eat together. Shu E returned to the inner room by herself.

For a whole day, Shu E just stayed quietly in the inner room. Until night gradually fell, Hua Fu knocked on the door and came in, and saw Shu E trying on clothes in front of the mirror.

Hua Fu was slightly taken aback when she saw the clothes on Shu E's body, and then smiled: "Madame has a good appetite these two days. ”

"If you want to recover from the deficiency in those days, and you don't want to take medicine, how can you not eat well? If it weren't for my stubbornness a few days ago, and I refused to eat more than one bite of food in my illness, how could I ...... On the night of the seventh day of the first lunar month, how could he faint at an untimely time? Shu E lowered her head as she said and bit her lip gently.

"Who is the person who led Madame to Chongwen Pavilion, hasn't Madame thought of it yet?" Waffle asked quietly.

Shu E shook her head and said, "If you see it one day, maybe you will remember it." It must be that the people in the palace are good, but they just want to go one by one, but they don't seem to be like them. Maybe it's because I can't see clearly when it's dark. ”

"Could it be ......" Hua Fu looked outside the door and whispered, "Zihao?" ”

"She?" Shu E smiled at Hua Fu, "You may not have seen some of her thoughts." Now that she has the opportunity to get close to the emperor, she still doesn't show up to say goodbye? How could they lead me to Chongwen Pavilion and disappear immediately? As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his arms and asked, "Sun Niangzi, what do you think?" ”

Hua Fu looked up and down carefully, approached Shu E and whispered: "Madame was busy asking me to find this blue silk to make clothes, and told Zihao not to see it, it turned out to be for ...... For what? ”

Shu E looked at the mirror again and asked, "Do you think it looks like it?" ”

"Just looking at the clothes, they are very similar to Huifeng's, and the lady wears them on her body, but they are not so similar." Hua Fu came a little closer and said, "Madame, there are still some differences in Shen Yun, but if you are far away, you may not be able to see it." ”

Shu E sighed softly in the mirror and said: "Huifeng's aura is soft and elegant, and the corners of the eyebrows and eyes always have a look of loneliness. And her cheeks, too, are too thin. ”

Waffle softly called out "Madame......", but stopped talking, and stopped talking, full of hesitation.

Shu E looked at Hua Fu with a smile and said, "Sun Niangzi, what can't you say?" ”

"The reason why I mentioned Hui Feng and the grievances on Hui Feng that day didn't mean to complain about Mrs. at all, and I never thought about what Mrs. would do for her." Waffle paused, full of worry: "Actually, Mrs. live well, don't give up on yourself, don't waste your body in vain, and take care of Huifeng's wishes." Because she died, she was also worried about whether her wife was well. Madame ...... like this now"

Shu E smiled faintly, paced lightly in front of the mirror, and whispered: "Hua Fu, your kindness that day, Shu E naturally understands. You provoked me with your words to make me sober. But, Huafu—" Shu'e just walked behind Huafu, turned her back to Huafu, and said, "At this point, can I really sit idly by and be alone?" The thought of so many of those things that she had done, one by one, made me sleep. Xiaoyingzi, Huifeng, the so-called miscarriage child, their tragedy has a lot to do with me. And what I'm most worried about now is also Huifeng's last words - take care of Ruyue. ”

"Madame is trying to ...... Princess Yue, will it be in danger? Waffle's voice trembled slightly with disbelief.
