By the edge of the liquid pool, the spring breeze does not lift the ban on flowers, and the weeping willows on the embankment hit people's faces.

On the path by the pool, Empress Dowager Li was surrounded by people and walked slowly. Behind him, several concubines of the former emperor and a group of palace maids talked and laughed all the way, which was very lively.

Father-in-law Xia greeted him and nodded imperceptibly.

Empress Dowager Li raised her hand high, pointed to the pavilion in the distance, and said with a smile: "You go to the pavilion and sit down first, and the mourning family will come later." ”

The people saluted and departed.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Xiaoyao Hou sent a quick message, and she was already on the way back." Father-in-law Xia waited for people to walk away, and stepped forward with a smile.

"Does Master Hou have anything else to say?" Empress Dowager Li's wicker hand trembled slightly.

Father-in-law Xia said with a smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, Master Hou said that things have already come to an eyebrow. ”

Empress Dowager Li let out a sigh of relief, and said with joy: "Quick, send someone to welcome you three hundred miles away." ”

"This ...... The Queen Mother, the Hou Ye is a fast horse, and he will only be able to ...... tomorrow morning."

Empress Dowager Li's eyes were cold.

Xia Dong swallowed all the remaining words, and after answering, he saluted and left in a hurry.

Seeing that things had come to an eyebrow, Empress Dowager Li was in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "What will the emperor do?" ”

Chunyang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Go back to the Queen Mother, look at the time, this son should have just gone to the court, maybe he is going to Changmen Palace to ask for peace!" ”

Empress Dowager Li~ said with a smile: "Send someone to take a look, if you really arrive, invite the emperor over, the weather is very good today, just accompany the mourning family to take a walk in this garden." ”

Chunyang explained a few words to the palace maid behind him, and stepped forward to help: "The queen mother is careful of her step." The slave maid will help you to sit in the pavilion. ”

Empress Dowager Li glanced at the purple and red in the pavilion, shook her head and said, "No need, after leaving the mourning family, a few of them can be more relaxed." By the way, yesterday there was any news from the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

"Queen Mother, where can it be so fast?"

Chunyang said with a smile: "In the end, it is a lifelong event, you have to let the eldest young master think about it, maybe there will be news in a few days." ”

Empress Dowager Li stroked the wicker in her hand, and her eyes were quiet: "Wait a few days." When the foreign woman is on pilgrimage. I'll ask again! ”

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Queen Mother, the emperor is here!" Chunyang whispered.

Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "It's so fast, the mourning family welcomes you!" ”

Chunyang said with a smile: "The emperor is fast, the queen mother, you go slowly." Don't rush this time! ”

……

"Sons meet the queen mother!" Dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. Sword-eyed starbrow. The innate kingly demeanor is eye-catching.

"The emperor has gone down!" Empress Dowager Li stroked a wrinkle on the imperial robe.

"The queen mother is lazy again today, and let her son go to the court alone. Those civil and military officials have not yet arrived when they see their mother, and they are making trouble one by one, and they are extremely tricky! ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "What did those old guys say? ”

Zhao Jingqi thought for a while and said: "I didn't say anything, it was nothing more than letting me work hard to govern those words." ”

Empress Dowager Li patted the emperor's hand: "Emperor, the emperor, use your own strength; The monarch is the one who uses people's ability; The ruler uses the wisdom of people. How to use it is a science, and the emperor should study it well! ”

Zhao Jingqi was a little irritable in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she only pulled the wide sleeves of the Empress Dowager Li and said: "Queen Mother, the son is young, and he needs the support of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother is free, accompany the son to the court, and the son will definitely learn the way of being a king with the Queen Mother!" ”

"The emperor is cautious."

Empress Dowager Li smiled faintly and said, "How does the queen mother know the way to be a king?" It's just that I followed the emperor and read a few more books. ”

"The intelligence of the queen mother is praised even by the father." Zhao Jingqi laughed with her, and gently tugged at the queen mother's wide sleeves with her hand......

Empress Dowager Li smiled deeply and sighed: "That's it, the mourning family has to work for a few more years." ”

"Thank you for your compassion to the queen mother!" Zhao Jingqi saluted with a happy face.

Empress Dowager Li stroked it, Zhao Jingqi held the Empress Dowager's hand at the right time, and the mother and son were side by side.

"Emperor, in a few days, the kings and the generals of Song Nian will enter Beijing to pay homage to the first emperor, how is the preparation of the Ministry of Rites?"

"It's ready!"

Empress Dowager Li pondered for a long time and said, "This time, leave your uncles in Beijing and stay for a longer time." After General Song's greetings, he set off in time, and the border pass could not be without a general for a day. ”

"Mother, why do you need to stay longer? Wouldn't it be peaceful to go to their respective fiefdoms? Zhao Jingqi didn't know why.

Empress Dowager Li's eyes were deep: "The new dynasty and the old dynasty have changed, these old guys are all foxes, and their noses are very smart, and the mourning family should catch up with them well!" ”

Although Zhao Jingqi did not like court affairs, he also knew that when the first emperor ascended the throne, the kings fought for your life. The queen mother's actions this time were also to knock on the side and shock the tiger across the mountain.

Then he responded: "The queen mother can rest assured, and the sons understand." ”

Empress Dowager Li saw that he understood a little bit, and her eyes were quite relieved.

Spring is thick by the Taiye pool, Zhao Jingqi helped the Queen Mother walk slowly, and the sun stretched the two figures. Chunyang, Song Gonggong and others followed far behind.

"Queen mother, Erchen has drawn a picture of the queen mother in the past few days, and I just put away the pen last night, and I will send it to the queen mother to see." Zhao Jingqi said happily.

Empress Dowager Li's face showed surprise: "Oh, the mourning family must take a good look at this painting." ”

"The queen mother's immortal jade posture is full of bearing, how can it be painted in one painting?"

"Emperor, you clever mouth......"

"The queen mother, the sons have been studying painting in the past few days, and they have a lot of experience......"

"Oh, tell the mourners......"

The mother and son are drifting apart!

……

"Mother, Sister Xiaonan has been arrested, what should we do?" Erya leaned on the arms of Twelve Niang and sobbed softly.

Twelve Niang obviously hadn't recovered from the fright, her mouth was half open, and her eyes looked at Lu and Qi.

Qi Jin thought for a moment, and quickly said: "Qiangzi, you accompany the shopkeeper Lu to find Li Congwang in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion." Gangzi, you guard the shop and take care of Twelve Niang and Erya. I'm going to ......."

"Lu Tent ...... Chef Qi ......"

The guy Wuzi quickly ran into the shop: "I inquired, the maid got into a green oil car." There is a Li character on the body, and as expected, it is the person of the Marquis of Xiaoyao. ”

"Who's in the car?"

Wuzi poured a cup of tea, drank it all, and panted: "I was anxious, I was afraid that something would happen to the shop, and I thought that I couldn't escape from the Hou Mansion anyway, so I didn't follow again." ”

Qi Jin's eyes were appreciative: "It should be so." Wuzi, you personally send a letter to the northern shopkeeper, don't hesitate. Let's go. ”

Takeko changed his lazy appearance in the past. There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he came out with a fist.

Lu Tent suddenly said, "What about you?" ”

Qi Jin said with a cold light in his eyes: "Old Lu, give me some silver, the king of Hades will be easy to see." The little ghost is difficult. I'll go to Suncheonfu to get some information. It also saves the shopkeeper from suffering inside!

Lu Tent knew in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Separate actions!" ”

……

In the women's cell of Shuncheonfu, it was damp. The smell of mold and decay is everywhere. Lin Nan and Qingqing sat with their backs together.

Lin Nan raised his head slightly, and sighed: "Why did you bother to come in?" ”

Qingqing smiled charmingly, and there seemed to be a light in her eyes: "The slave family is willing, can you manage it?" What's the matter, I'm okay now, right? The makeup on the face, is it beautiful? ”

Lin Nan turned his face, looked at her fixedly, and said with a wry smile: "Beautiful, it's not beautiful, it's just ......"

Qingqingxiu smiled and said lightly: "He saved me from fire and water the day, and today you are in trouble, if I don't save you, how can I be worthy of our sisters' love for the past four years." ”

Lin Nan laughed angrily: "I forgot, you still remember!" Over the years, I have been in your room, and I have not eaten and drunk and peeked, and this affection has long been repaid. ”

"Fart!"

Qingqing's eyes were horizontal, and she said: "I don't know if there are dozens of girls in Wanhualou, which room is not easy to go to, and they come to my room." I'm just afraid I'll be beaten again! ”

"Come, stop, stop, if you want to come, I won't stop you, but this filthy place......"

"I'm not a noble person, you Lin Nan can stay, how can I stay!"

Halfway through the conversation, a foul smell rushed in, and the two of them hurriedly covered their mouths and noses.

Lin Nan's face changed greatly, and he scolded angrily: "His grandmother's, if I find out who is behind the trouble, my aunt and grandmother will ......."

"Do you still need to check?"

Qingqing's faint voice was cold: "That dog official's surname is Zhou Minglin, and he was originally the eldest son of Zhou Mingde, a member of the Ministry of Labor. ”

"Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Works? That's an official eunuch's house! Lin Nan was surprised.

"It's an official eunuch, his Laozi's official is just and read the Eight Classics, and now...... The pomp and circumstance are bigger, and the inside has already been bitten by worms and rats. Qingqing snorted coldly.

"How does Qingqing know this?"

"Hey, that Zhou Lin liked the word wine the most, the wine reached seven points, the girl was in her arms, and she was willing to say which concubine's house she was in last night, what else can you not say? The idea in the Zhou family's mansion, which girl in Wanhualou doesn't know? ”

Qingqing sneered: "This week, Lin has a sister named Zhou Shunying, a female worker pointer, literate and literate, with a peach blossom lining on her face, a crescent moon on her eyebrows, twenty-eight years old, married to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and became a young grandmother. The dog official relied on her sister-in-law, so she spent a little money to become an official. ”

Lin Nanqi said: "What does this have to do with me? ”

Qingqing saw that she still didn't understand, so she said: "Let me tell you, Li Congwang's eldest brother Li Congde has two concubines, and they are all powerful people. Recently, Li Congde has raised an outer room outside, and this week Shunying wants to please Li Fengjin, the sister-in-law, in order to control her own man. ”

Lin Nanxiu raised his eyebrows and muttered, "So ...... said"

"Do you think, looking at this capital, who has a holiday with your southern shopkeeper? You forgot, Li Fengjin and the eldest young master of the Gao family were discussing kissing, but the eldest young master of the Gao family sent you a hairpin, I guess it is this stubble. ”

Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then remembered the white hosta that she threw into the makeup, and sighed: "It was for this!" ”

Qingqing added in time: "If I guessed correctly, the little girl in red must be Li Fengjin's person." Otherwise, with my aunt and grandmother's words, the dog officer still doesn't let people go? ”

Lin Nan's face gradually became gloomy: "None of the people from this high-ranking family are good people, and they bully people too much!" ”

"Shopkeeper Nan, who is bullying others?" A crisp female voice sounded coldly. (To be continued......)
