In the early morning of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the green fragrance is sad.

Rose-meaning Pavilion leans next to the covered bridge water pavilion, this two-entry small garden is full of clean, green tiles and red walls and glazed bricks, spring flowers and peony flowers are planted everywhere, but now only the yellow and clear spring flowers bloom in the fence of stone spots, revealing a group of joy.

In the atrium, there is a loquat tree that is like a canopy, and a few cypress trees that can only be surrounded by several people who join hands to hug each other, and every sunny day, there is always a warm sun through the branches that are on all sides, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Sitting on the kang next to it, you can see through the window lattice pasted with peach blossom paper that is hidden in the hemp rope swing hidden in the branches and leaves.

Xingzhao still remembers the surging and tearful emotion that surged into his heart when he entered the palace three days ago and saw the Jewel Pavilion that was exactly the same as his previous life.

It is a willow and a bright flower, and it is a desperate spring.

The husband and saint are detached and alone, and the people of the world are safe and know what the ministers do?

This is what Song Yu said to the King of Chu, and it is not what Queen Fang wants to say to herself.

"Girl, the queen mother called you over, saying that the queen mother came over and wanted to see you"

Lian Rong walked in cautiously, silently reciting the rule of "walking no more than three inches, smiling without showing teeth" in her heart, although she pulled a smile on her mouth, she didn't smile as usual, and smiled into her eyes.

Lotus ** is lame and recuperating, and most of the people who serve her are lotus seeds, and Huang's mother is also left in the Rosewood Pavilion by Queen Fang as a housekeeper.

Xingzhao knew that Lianrong was used to being casual in the Lin'an Hou Mansion all day, and when she entered the palace, she was like a bird in a cage, and her every move was a little restrained.

The words passed by the ear. I don't really care about the meaning.

"The Queen Mother's migraine is getting better?" Xingzhao closed the pages of the book in his hand and got up. Bian asked softly.

On the day of Xingzhao's entry into the palace. As usual, I wanted to go to Cihe Palace to say hello, but the Empress Dowager Gu refused on the grounds of migraine, and it has been three days since today. Empress Dowager Gu went from being a palace man with a humble background, to standing out, and finally to the highest, seeing the farthest, and going up and down all her life, but she wore out her initial patience.

Lian Rong was stunned. Then he shook his head with a look on his face: "I didn't think about it that much, so I came in in a hurry to return to you."

The corners of Xingzhao's mouth curved, but he pulled the wound on the left side of his face, and let out a low snort.

Lian Rong hurriedly strode forward to help, and her mouth seemed to be resentful: "What did the imperial doctor say?" You can't laugh or cry! I'm afraid of your pain, and I'm even more afraid of the wound cracking! ”

Xingzhao rubbed the left side of his face, with a smile in his eyes, and said as he walked outside: "I'm still used to your appearance, although the rules in the palace are strict, in front of me." You're still the same lotus seed you used to be. ”

The courtyard is not big, and it turns out in a few steps to the palace road with blue bricks and red walls. Xingzhao looked up at the sky, which was a little older than the He family but still boxy, sighed in his heart, and lowered his voice: "I can only bring the three of you out with all my hard work, I ask Xingming to take away the lotus leaves, the lotus heart is good, and I am naturally not worried." I'm afraid to embarrass your family."

Lian Rong's eyes were red, and she followed Xingzhao, regardless of whether Xingzhao could see it or not, her head shook like a rattle.

"Daddy is a useful manager, at most he will be dismissed from his post and scolded twice, what can be a big deal?"

Xingzhao is noncommittal.

Raised the steps to turn left, the golden eaves warped corners, Pixiu Rui beast, Bogu Henglan appeared in front of him, the main hall of Fengyi Hall was dignified and gorgeous, the palace people who came and went saw Xingzhao passing, immediately stopped their steps, or lowered their heads, or called out in a restrained tone "Slave maid to Wenyang County Lord greetings".

Empress Fang saw Xingzhao coming from a distance, stood up and beckoned with a smile: "Come in, come in!" He turned his head and smiled with the Empress Dowager Gu next to him and said: "That night, the concubine took Xingzhao to greet you in a hurry, but when she heard that you had a migraine again, her heart palpitated, so she shrunk her head and came back with Xingzhao, and only dared to order someone to send you gastrodia and codonopsis, so she didn't dare to bother you anymore." It is the sin of the concubine to ask you to come here in person today! ”

Mrs. Gu sank like water behind her, turned her head, and didn't answer.

Empress Fang's heart was relieved, and she remembered that day when she went to ask for the emperor's will, she said, "When Mrs. Lin'an Hou went, her young daughter was burned?" I don't think it's the minions in the house who are careless, but some people are too relieved! She and Emperor Zhou Heng have been married for so many years, and the look on his face can't hide from her--with disbelief and anger.

That's why Xingzhao didn't have so many twists and turns when he entered the palace, so He Yan was reprimanded in the Yiyuan Hall yesterday.

Xingzhao stepped over the threshold with his head tilted, bent his knees like a ritual, and his voice was hoarse and weak, and he gave the palace a blessing: "The courtier He asked the Queen Mother Niang Niang An, may the Queen Mother be blessed and healthy, ask the Queen Mother Niang Niang An, and wish the Queen Mother a long and happy future." ”

The nose smelled a quiet and sweet smell, and the heart also calmed down - the Fengyi Hall has been burning with agarwood incense all the year round, and now it has not been lit, but there is a little taste in the bones.

Empress Dowager Gu didn't speak for a long time, and it was impossible for Empress Fang to trespass, so Xingzhao stood firmly on her knees.

I've tasted the taste of escaping death, and Xingzhao doesn't take this little fight to heart.

"It's okay to eat the gastrodia you sent over, but Uncle Guo sent it a few years ago?" Empress Dowager Gu clearly tossed Xingzhao, smiled to herself and replied to Empress Fang's words, as soon as the words fell, she continued: "The mourning family has to save food, this year I am afraid that Tianmagong is not as good as the old forest in the northwest." ”

Empress Fang's heart froze, her spine was straight, her eyes fell on Xingzhao, who was still bent on her knees, and then turned her head to look back at the Queen Mother, pursed her lips and smiled: "The whole world is not the king's land, General Fang is fighting outside, is it possible that Admiral Liang and Gu Garrison will not give the queen mother a good gastrodia in the old forest in the northwest?" The mouth continued: "Gastrodia is a warm supplement, the queen mother, you must remember to eat every day, otherwise you will stop for a day and look like you haven't eaten." Migraine eating gastrodia is the most effective, the elderly do not have a good memory, and eating gastrodia is also useful. ”

This is saying that Empress Dowager Gu forgot to call Xingzhao because she was old and had a bad memory

Xingzhao's legs were trembling, and he listened to Queen Fang's words and couldn't help laughing.

Empress Dowager Gu chuckled. Didn't answer. He pointed his finger at His Highness's Xingzhao: "The Lord of Wenyang is up." Sit down. He smiled and talked to the aunt beside him: "The last time I saw the county lord of Wenyang was on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and now I feel that I have grown taller at first sight." When Mrs. Anhou's dress is completed first, and then she is brought into the palace to take a look, it is estimated that she will grow into a big girl! ”

Empress Fang's expression was as usual, the Gu family climbed up step by step from the bottom, there has always been something in the words, there are needles hidden in the cotton, and it is subtle to say that it sounds good. To say that it is ugly is to be poisonous.

Blame a little lady for not keeping filial piety at home and living in the palace, as for such trouble?

Xingzhao was sitting precariously, his eyes fixed on the jade-colored white glazed dendrobium in his ears, his ears did not listen to what was going on outside the window, and his expression was depressed and lifeless.

"The concubine is also very worried in her heart. If it's all time to get rid of the ceremony, the scar on Xingzhao's face hasn't gone away, but what should I do! Queen Fang took over the conversation, and she was born in the door, and she has always decided the winner with one move. Impatient to shirk the lawsuit like this.

The corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said, "On the first and fifteenth days of the first year." I didn't see Ying Yi and Zhongning come in to say hello, even you were uncomfortable two days ago, and the two of them seemed to have disappeared, but something happened at home? ”

On the night Xingzhao entered the palace, he told Queen Fang all the words that Man'er had recruited, everyone is not stupid, and when they are connected, they don't know what kind of trick this is!

Without waiting for Empress Dowager Gu to speak, Empress Fang leaned forward gently, chuckling as if to discuss with Empress Dowager Gu again: "I'm afraid it's been a year since the prince of Weiguo went, right?" Ying Yi lives alone in the princess's mansion and is lonely, and there is no princess widow in the past dynasties! Keep it for a year, choose it carefully, and by the third year, it's time to put family affairs on the table. The concubine is a sister-in-law, and she remembers it, and she thinks that the queen mother also has a rod and scale in her heart, right? ”

Empress Dowager Gu's expression was grim, and she quietly looked Queen Fang up and down a few times, wanting to see something from her face.

"Don't worry" Empress Dowager Gu slowly removed her eyes from Empress Fang's face, and said faintly, "The county lord of Wenyang is still listening, the Fang family has not taught the queen to behave?" ”

A declining family came out of a broken house to talk about etiquette and deeds?

Queen Fang was disdainful and wanted to laugh in her heart, her sister's unsuccessful death was inseparable from the mother and daughter, the blood on her hands had not been washed off, and she still had her face to talk to her about what she was doing!

"The Fang family was born recklessly, and started with military exploits, and the daughters they taught are all straightforward, they don't understand those twists and turns, the mother of the courtiers is like this, and the queen mother is naturally like this" Queen Fang didn't have time to speak, but Xingzhao spoke softly, his expression was excited, but there was some trepidation and fear in his eyes, and he raised his head timidly while speaking, the scar on the left side of his face had already scabbed, and it was not big or small on his face, which made Empress Dowager Gu's heart empty.

"Xingzhao-" Empress Fang interrupted, there was disapproval in her eyes, her niece is still young, it is enough to have her in the front, there is no need to add one. He turned his head to the Empress Dowager Gu and smiled: "The little lady is young, and she has just lost her mother, I remember that when the concubine raised Xiao Jiu in the past, she also rushed forward to protect the concubine."

Empress Dowager Gu didn't want to look at the scar on Xingzhao's face, didn't she come here today to see how capable this Wenyang County Lord was, but now she didn't learn her aunt's scheming and skills - she couldn't hold her breath and spoke softly, cowering.

As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of rats make holes.

This is alive and well, and it is another Fang Fu.

Empress Dowager Gu was relieved, and finally shook her head gently like an elder, with forgiveness and love, she got up and walked out, and said with a smile: "Lord Wenyang is still young." Queen, you are an aunt, you take it with you, what you want, just open your mouth, if there is nothing in the palace, let's go outside to find it. ”

Empress Fang personally sent Empress Dowager Gu to the palace road outside the Fengyi Palace, but when she came back, she found that Xingzhao was sitting straight on the stool, and the fear and cringe on his face had all faded, obviously thinking about something.

Xing Zhao saw Empress Fang coming back, and said softly: "Why did the eldest princess of Yingyi force her mother to death? It's not because of Mrs. Lin'anhou's position. It is common sense for a father to serve his wife with a decaying ceremony, but where did the minister of the Great Zhou still honestly observe the etiquette system of the Spring and Autumn Period? In addition, Mrs. Tai is alive, and Lin'anhou will serve a hundred days of mourning at most, what will he do after that? Naturally, it is to marry the step-room and enter the door, and the time is tight" Xingzhao paused slightly, his eyes moved away from the flower, and with a look like revealing the mystery, he muttered: "But the Empress Dowager Gu said that she was not in a hurry"

Empress Fang was shocked, called Gonggong Lin, and ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on the mansion of the eldest princess of Yingyi!" (To be continued......)

ps: Another day of exhausting work!
