Mrs. Zhang and Jiang finally persuaded Cui Keyin, and the three of them went to Ziyan Pavilion to talk together. Zhou Heng, Cui Zhenyi, and Cui Muhua went to the study to drink tea and talk about political affairs.

Mrs. Zhang sat on the Luohan bed, stroked Cui Keyin's hand, and sighed: "You don't have a mother-in-law, and the nominal one is unreliable." Since you were pregnant, I have been worried, and I have even had the idea of going to Beijing to serve you in the baby. Write to your uncle and say that your uncle disagrees and thinks it is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Cui Keyin is married to a prince, and she is watching every move.

"After receiving the letter from your birth, I am worried that you will not sit well in confinement. This woman, confinement is very important, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the root of the disease. I wanted to come and let you prepare the gift slowly, but I was stopped by the prince. Besides, my old bones will not be able to bear it if I am in a hurry for days. Mrs. Zhang sighed.

Zhou Heng said that Cui Keyin was fine, let her come slowly, and there was no need to bring gifts or anything. Where could she not bring a gift, that was a piece of her heart.

Cui Keyin didn't know about these things. Hearing Mrs. Zhang say this, the tears in her eyes fell again, and she said, "Grandmother treats me like this, how can I be happy?" ”

Even if I regretted the early death of my parents when I dreamed back at midnight, I have no regrets now. Mrs. Zhang really loves her and loves her.

"Silly boy." Mrs. Zhang said: "You are all right, I am relieved." ”

The grandmother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time, and the family had dinner together, Cui Keyin wanted to leave Mrs. Zhang to rest in the Jin Palace, but Jiang disagreed: "How can there be a reason to let my mother live here?" We have a place to live in the capital. ”

Mrs. Zhang also said: "It stands to reason that I should go back to Xinglin Hutong." ”

That's her home.

Cui Keyin was helpless. I told you again and again that you must come early tomorrow.

Early the next morning, there was an endless stream of traffic at the gate of the Jin Palace, and the carriage and sedan chair for the banquet blocked the gate. Not everyone can walk through the gate, officials below the fourth grade can only go through the corner door, just like that, they are also satisfied, don't you see that there are many porters who can only give gifts, and are not qualified to enter the house to sit and drink a glass of water and wine?

Guo Shouning led a group of cabinet members to come. Zhou Heng personally greeted him at the gate of the house. As for the other officials, Liu Yongzhi welcomed them into the house.

Mrs. Zhang arrived early in the morning, holding the child and refusing to let go.

The Jiang family and the big Jiang family made an appointment to come over together, and the big Jiang family met with Mrs. Zhang. quipped: "The old lady is a great-grandmother." Tipping is available. ”

"Reward! Be sure to reward! Mrs. Zhang was not ambiguous at all. He instructed: "Prepare two baskets of money, and the singing hall will be rewarded later." ”

After laughing, a few ladies came. After greeting each other, they gathered around to see the children.

Everyone, you hug me and I take over, Lele just sleeps with his eyes closed, and he doesn't care who holds him. But Cui Keyin was afraid that one of them would miss and drop the child. This is also a matter of concern.

Seeing that it was noon, the people were almost there, and Liu Yongzhi came to ask for instructions on whether to open the table.

Cui Keyin said: "If the people on the prince's side are also here, let's start the banquet." ”

As usual, the male and female guests are seated in two places, each inviting a troupe, and there are storytellers to prepare for the guests who do not like to listen to the opera.

Liu Yongzhi rushed to ask Zhou Heng, and Zhou Heng said, "Let's open the table." ”

After preparing the goods for three days, the chef who showed off his skills today had an order, and immediately asked the palace attendants in new clothes to line up to serve the dishes.

Zhou Heng invited everyone to sit at the table, and suddenly a small chamberlain rushed in at the door and said, "The emperor and Concubine De are here." ”

To Emperor An's second visit to the Jin Palace, different from the last time he visited the thatched house, this is to congratulate the little master on the full moon, this grace, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military clan, his own prince is the first person. How can the little chamberlain not be flattered and honored?

Everyone was pushing and giving way to sit on the main seat, and suddenly heard such a sentence, and instantly petrified. Emperor, how much trust does this young brother have to have? There are those who know the old things between the Queen Mother and Concubine Wei, and they can't help but wonder if the Queen Mother feels guilty, but she is not good at bowing her head, and asks the emperor to make a face for Zhou Heng in the name of caring for her younger brother.

The ladies were talking lively, and a small palace man ran in and said, "The emperor and Concubine De are here." ”

There was a commotion everywhere, how could anyone hear what she said? She had to say it out loud. The people who heard it around stopped talking and looked at her in amazement.

The emperor and Concubine De went to the Jin Palace? Make no mistake, right?

There are noblewomen dressed up everywhere, tall, short, fat and thin, but they didn't see Cui Keyin, the people in the small palace were so anxious that they were about to cry, and they grabbed a lady and said, "Where is my princess?" ”

What she pulled happened to be the Duchess of Zhenguo, and she asked what was going on, so she left the little palace man and lifted her skirt and ran to the side box. Because everyone who came was a guest, Cui Keyin carried the child from the main hall to the side room, so that the guests could take a look at the child. At this moment, several Mrs. Sipin's orders were boasting around the child, and they saw the Duchess of Zhenguo running over with a roar, and she pulled Cui Keyin and left.

"What's wrong?" The ladies asked each other puzzled.

Cui Keyin didn't know what was going on, until she was pulled out of the side compartment and came to the porch. The place over there was empty, and it was easy to hear the speech, so I heard it clearly: "The emperor and Concubine De are here, and Concubine De is coming here." ”

Shen Mingzhu wanted to go to the backyard to sit down with all the ladies of the Commandment.

At this time, the waiter led the way, bypassed the weeping flower gate, and walked on the road leading to the backyard.

It was difficult for her to go to the palace, and she lifted the curtain from time to time to look out all the way, and after arriving at the Jin Palace, she saw everything novel. She grew up in Luoyang before entering the palace, and entered the palace immediately after arriving in Beijing, the prosperity of the capital has not been visited, and she is good friends with Cui Keyin, but she has never been to the Jin Palace, and she can't help but be curious about what Cui Keyin's mansion looks like.

If you look at the east and the west, you will go slowly.

When Cui Keyin heard that Shen Mingzhu was coming, she didn't dare to slack off, handed over the child to the nurse, and immediately asked the ladies to line up according to their grades.

In less than five breaths, the news that the emperor and Concubine De personally came to congratulate had spread all over the Jin Palace, and everyone knew about it.

The officials in the front yard were led by Zhou Heng to the gate to greet the holy driver, and the ladies lined up to welcome them out under the leadership of Cui Keyin.

Shen Mingzhu saw Cui Keyin leading the women's army to greet her, and said with a smile: "It's all exempt." I just want to see Lele, but it makes you uncomfortable. ”

Cui Keyin said: "I didn't expect the emperor and Niangniang to come, and the cold house was full of brilliance. Hurry inside please. ”

"Lele, let me hug it." Shen Mingzhu couldn't wait.

Many ladies who were so nervous when they saw her for the first time saw her that she was approachable and relaxed a lot, and they also had a smile on their faces.

Cui Keyin took Lele from the nurse's arms and hugged her.

"What a beautiful boy." Shen Mingzhu kissed him twice unceremoniously and shouted, "He smiled at me." (To be continued.) )
