Because of Concubine Xuan's affairs, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, all the prefectures changed out of the new festive clothes. The ninth master also came back early, only two days after he came back, and the tenth master came to the door.

At first glance, the tenth master smiled and said, "Why did you still grow meat on this trip?" "My face is round again.

The ninth master went to the couch to sleep, and there was no place to put the kang table. The tenth master had to move a stool and sit down.

"Who doesn't grow meat during the New Year?" Jiu Ye ate salty peanuts and said confidently: "The Chinese New Year is the time to raise fat." ”

The tenth master honestly and unceremoniously grabbed a handful of salty crispy peanuts from the box in front of him, and said, "You came back a little earlier at this time, right?" Didn't you say that the Queen Mother was bad? ”

"Then it's not my turn to offer filial piety." Speaking of this, the Ninth Master was a little frustrated.

After Concubine Xuan was gone, the Queen Mother also fell ill after the New Year.

It really scared everyone.

However, after reading it, the imperial doctor said that it was fine, and the prescription for the queen mother was also a prescription to soothe the liver and relieve depression. Only then did Li Wei know that the Queen Mother was probably stimulated by Concubine Xuan.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother's character is there, and occasionally the mood is a little sad and sad, and it can't be dragged on for long. Li Wei served in Changchun Garden for a few days, and the fourth master came over to serve a day's medicine.

"I'm fine, you have a lot of business over there, go back quickly." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Concubine Xuan has no hope, she is bored to live, even if she survives for ten years, what's the point? But she is different, she has a son, and her son is still filial.

Thinking about it like this, the Queen Mother felt much better, and her illness was cured without medicine.

The fourth master said: "My son has nothing to do with there, Hongyu and they are all older, and they can also help." ”

There's a lot of meaning in that.

The Queen Mother didn't ask any further, just nodded with a smile and said with relief: "That's good." ”

The fourth master said: "It's still cold now, and when the weather is a little warmer, my son will take you to the south to see, where the scenery is pleasant." ”

Kangxi Ye toured the south six times, but he never took the Queen Mother there. The queen mother either listened to her son, or listened to the little concubines who accompanied her, and she was a little regretful when she thought about it at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can be regarded as enjoying the blessing of my son." ”

The Queen Mother urged the fourth master to go back, and asked him to bring the imperial concubine back.

"I don't have a shortage of people to wait here, there are few caring people in your place, and I can rest assured that the imperial concubine is here." The Queen Mother said.

The fourth master shook his head and said, "Let her wait here for two more days, it's already a sin for your son not to be able to accompany you, and let her stay for two more days is also to do her filial piety for her son." ”

Li Wei just stayed in Changchun Garden.

Before leaving, the fourth master repeatedly told her not to be tired, "You don't need to guard at night, just let the Seven Fujin and the Fourteenth Fujin keep an eye on it." During the day, I came to talk to Huang Eniang, and I asked people to send a few more pots of flowers from the greenhouse to you and Huang Eniang to enjoy. ”

The flower and bird room in the palace has long been used to bring flowers to the masters in winter, and the charcoal fire wall is used to increase the temperature and humidity, give birth to flowers, so that the flowers will not wither in the middle of winter.

The imperial doctor said that the queen mother was depressed, looking at flowers, playing with birds, and raising dogs. When the mood is good, the person is not sick.

But the Queen Mother doesn't like to keep pets, so she can only look at flowers.

Li Wei reassured the fourth master, she really didn't need her to do anything with her own hands as the queen mother, and it was filial piety to be able to help the queen mother serve the medicine bowl. Usually, when the Queen Mother is in spirit, she comes to sit down.

Compared to this, she was more worried about the fourth master.

He said that if he wanted to take the Queen Mother on a southern tour, he would definitely go. But now that she stays with the Queen Mother, she can't help him, and with his temperament, she must do it herself, she said: "Changchun Garden has me here, you don't have to worry." But don't be too tired when you go back. ”

"I know it all." The fourth master put on her cloak and left.

Li Wei lived in Changchun Garden.

The Queen Mother's illness soon healed and she didn't often stay in the house, and when the Queen Mother was still living in Yonghe Palace, Li Wei felt that the Queen Mother was quite receptive to new things. It's the same now, she made a bowling ball for the fourth master in the Old Summer Palace, and the Queen Mother also made one in Changchun Garden.

When Li Wei saw it, she pleaded guilty and said, "It's all the fault of the ministers, I didn't think of making one for you." ”

The Queen Mother changed her short fight, wore boots, had no bits and pieces on her body, had fewer hairpin rings on her head, and her wig was useless, just a bun. She smiled: "I also listened to Hongshi, he said that this thing is fun, so I asked him to make one for me." ”

It turned out to be Hiroshi. This kid is really good at tossing after entering the Ministry of Engineering.

The Queen Mother can only play bowling with one ball, and she must move first to play once, and stop to rest for half a cup of tea after playing. But the Queen Mother is not too tired to play like this for a day. It can be seen that I really like it.

The Queen Mother's slide here is more inclined, and whenever the Queen Mother's ball knocks down the wooden bottle, the palace maids and eunuchs waiting in the palace all cheer, and even the Queen Mother is very happy to look at it.

When the queen mother is not playing, she also likes to watch the palace maids and eunuchs play, and she will naturally be rewarded for playing well. There are also eunuchs on the fourth master's side who are good at this, and Li Wei saw that the queen mother liked it so much, so she proposed to simply compete between the two sides. The fourth master deliberately took the time to come over, and the masters on both sides compared with the eunuchs, and in the end, the queen mother won, but the queen mother was happy for several days.

The matter of the southern tour was quickly prepared, Hongyu and Hongyun accompanied the driver, and the rest all stayed in Beijing.

Of course, Li Wei also followed, since she was here with the Queen Mother, she would naturally arrange everything here. The princesses all moved out of Changchun Garden and returned to their respective princesses' mansions.

Concubine Cheng also accompanied the Queen Mother on patrol in previous years, but this year unfortunately, her rheumatic pain was committed, and the pain was severe before the Chinese New Year, and it rained several times in February, and now she can't get up from the bed at all.

Among the remaining concubines, there is no one who makes the Queen Mother like.

So on this year's southern tour, it was unexpectedly only their own family.

Before leaving Beijing, there was another incident, a certain university scholar wrote an excerpt to praise Li Wei. What she praised was that the Queen Mother was sick this time, and she waited undressed.

As soon as Li Wei heard about this, she went to ask the fourth master, and this person would never praise her for no reason.

"Master, why did you ask them to write this?" She felt a little panicked.

After this fold was handed over, the fourth master approved it and let people circulate it!

So now the people in the court are faintly saying good things about her, and she feels that it will not be long before this trend of saying good things about her may become more and more intense.

It's not okay, it's a shame. This is obviously what the fourth master is pushing behind the scenes. He had people write this excerpt and then 'hint' to everyone, and now everyone understands the will and is doing it.

She suspected that all kinds of unbelievable things would pop up along the way of the southern tour.

The fourth master saw that she was anxious and uneasy, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a number." ”

What can you count?

Just like she thought. Along the way of the southern tour, there were more rumors, some said that they saw her guarding the Queen Mother all night, some said that she boiled medicine for the Queen Mother by herself, and some said that she tasted medicine for the Queen Mother, and she could make up a play to sing.

Further out, the rumors were filled with her benevolence and love for the people. For example, when she met a little girl/old lady/beggar with a broken leg on the road, she must ask questions first, then shed tears, and then let people give medical treatment, and also told the local parents and officials to take good care of these people, otherwise she, the imperial concubine, would definitely treat him for his crimes.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if it is a small county official, she will not say such things.

But this kind of rumor is the most popular, and it almost spreads outward. When they arrived in Jiangnan, they realized that the rumors had run ahead of them.

There are really people who believe that the imperial concubine can try cases and help people avenge their grievances like the old man of Qingtian.

Li Wei really received the paper.

For example, it is embarrassing that the descendants of officials who fell in order to purge Jiangnan officialdom when the fourth master first ascended the throne in the early years. The purpose of their petition is to insist that their family was framed back then, and that it was the current governor of Jiangnan who framed their family.

Then they said that the Cao family could testify for them.

After the fourth master got it, he laughed, put it down and said: "If you compare it with the Cao family, this family is indeed wronged." "When it comes to greedy for silver, there is no more greedy than the Cao family. As a result, the small fish and shrimp that were greedy with the Cao family at that time were all killed, and the whole family died, but the Cao family entered Beijing. Although life in Kyoto was not good, it was much better than the fact that the whole family only had young children left at that time.

The fourth master said: "Let people go and tell them that the Cao family has already subdued the law, so that they don't have to expect the Cao family to testify against them." ”

After the incident, a nature like the Cao family was swept in. Even the king of Pingjun was dismissed from the king of the county, and he was originally a prince of peace, but now he has fallen to the bottom.

But the fourth master didn't plan to abandon all the Pingjun Palace, but just wanted to be cold for the time being. He said that Narsu's son, Foffen, had been his companion in the palace in his early years.

It's the first time Li Wei has heard this.

"Fuppon is the one who can be used." The fourth master said.

The air in the south is indeed much better, not so dry. The Queen Mother said to Li Wei, "It's better to sleep here than in Beijing, and your hands and feet won't be cold at night." She added, "I feel that my face is more moisturized than in Kyori." ”

The Queen Mother was not happy to live on the boat, she mostly lived on the shore, and only went to the ship to browse when the weather was fine.

Li Wei has the poke of filial piety to the Queen Mother, and she almost didn't care about the fourth master along the way, and she revolved around the Queen Mother. As a result, the fourth master often came to the queen mother's side.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "The emperor has been much more filial than before recently. ”

Li Wei felt that this was too much, and hurriedly went back: "Long live the lord has always said that he will take the emperor to the south to play, and this time I finally came out, long live happy." I heard Hongyu say that before he finished all the errands around him in Beijing, he could make time for free, so he could wait for a few more days by the emperor's side. ”

The fourth master just laughed, and the queen mother patted Li Wei's hand and said, "I know that you are facing him." After that, he handed her hand to the fourth master, "Hurry up and take it away, you come over every day these days, and I can't be idle, I want to sit here with you." ”

The fourth master took her hand and held it or didn't move, Li Wei went back again: "Is the emperor's mother tired of sitting?" Why don't you let Banzai play a game with the emperor? ”

As she spoke, she gave the fourth master a look.

The fourth master smiled: "Huang Eniang, why don't you have a game with your son?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at them left and right, and said with a smile: "Then let's have fun." ”

Li Wei got up and said, "The courtiers there are waiting for the emperor to change her clothes." "As he spoke, he was going to help the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother pointed behind her and said with a smile: "I have someone waiting here, you can take him to change clothes when you are idle, he is not familiar here." ”

Aunt Fang smiled and helped the Queen Mother away. Li Wei looked at the fourth master, he was still smiling, and said, "Why don't you take me to change clothes?" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs waiting around all bowed their heads.

The fourth master was still holding her hand, and he said, "Let's go," he whispered beside her, "I really miss you a little." ”
