The enthronement ceremony is close at hand, who will go and who will stay between Liu Zhien and Feng En, after all, it will not be able to hinder the overall situation, the queen mother and the queen, who were unable to hold each other, seemed to suddenly have amnesia, and never mentioned this matter again. As for what the two of them did in private, it was up to Xu Xun to know, after all, now she was still a little 'concubine unknown', and before she got the honorific title, if she acted too arrogantly, the impact would not be very good. And she has no job, so she rashly contacted an internal servant who theoretically wanted to enter the East Factory as an errand boy, even if it was an old person around her, this was too conspicuous. And Liu Zhien naturally would not come to the door at this time to ask for peace, and provoked suspicion in vain.

However, he did not appear, but it does not mean that the people in Yong'an Palace will not be excited about his return, with the death of Emperor Daxing, the attendants in Yong'an Palace have a sense of panic that they have suddenly lost their support. In the past, the confidence of being neither humble nor arrogant in front of Qingning Palace and Kunning Palace has passed quietly. - Although Yoo Ji-eun's existence is certainly not comparable to that of the emperor, it can also play the role of fixing the sea god needle at this time.

There is such a well-connected figure who entered Beijing with the last orders of Emperor Daxing, even if he did not parachute into the East Factory and took over directly, but with him, Feng En, the father of the East Factory Factory, has a certain fate with Yong'an Palace, and Yong'an Palace has never been regarded as unconnected. The six monks and servants in the palace did not dare to be contemptuous. After all, Dongchang is the only one in the 24 yamen and other eunuch institutions that has the power to directly interfere in the affairs of the inner palace. It's too much to say that they can stir up the situation in the harem, but it's not too difficult to clean up two female officials and chamberlains. In this palace, there are not many people who have not violated the palace rules.

Emperor Daxing has not yet come out of the funeral, and there are not many people in Yong'an Palace who are still talking about him, but they are all excited and talking about Liu Zhien's return. That is, Diandian is still grieving for her deceased father, but she is still young after all, and she is not close to the emperor on weekdays, judging from Xu Xun, as long as Mama Qian is still there, Diandian's spirit will not collapse because of grief. In about a month or two, she will also dilute and bury the word father, at most she will be sad when she thinks about it occasionally, but after all, there are still many more important things in life waiting for her to do and laugh.

Xu Xun didn't want his daughter to be immersed in grief and difficult to recover, after all, when people die, the lights go out, and how future generations remember it has nothing to do with Emperor Zhang. It's just that the thought of a person's influence being so limited makes her feel an indescribable emptiness. No matter how noble his status is, and how great his power is during his lifetime, once he dies, it is as if he has been run into the ground by wheels, and it took less than half a month for hundreds of people who were still revolving around him to find their pace again, as if nothing had happened, they had forgotten him, drove the big chariot of the court, ran over him, and rolled forward.

In the past, when Emperor Wen and Emperor Zhao died, she was not sad at all, she only thought about her own small life, for her future plans, but now when it was Emperor Zhang's turn, Xu Xun still couldn't accept it. She's not accusing, she's just ...... I just don't want to believe that the loss of a life can be so insignificant. And the power in life and the nothingness after death form a strong contrast, making it more difficult for her to deal with the indifference of others.

She doesn't have the habit of exposing her emotions, and now she won't be sad in her thirties. In this house, grief may be seen as contrived - is it so reluctant that Weishenme doesn't go with it? No, Xu Xun didn't want to share this thought with others, she knew they couldn't resonate with her.

She still tries her best to live as usual, soothe a little emotion, take care of the strong child's daily life, and by the way, she cleans up most of her colored clothes, and rewards the palace maids with all the home clothes that can be appreciated, as for the part that cannot be appreciated, it can only be idle. As a widow, although her dress is still rich red and gold on big occasions in the future, in her daily life, she has to lose those light and delicate colors, and from then on, she began to move closer to stable colors such as black, brown, and blue. Even the original magnificent jewelry, now it has to gradually change the style of longevity that middle-aged people love to use, character towers, etc., and use more gold and jade materials. In the previous jewelry, especially those hairpin rings with pomegranates and other good intentions, can no longer be used.

The palace maid is in the palace, there is no share of silver, and there are a lot of places to make money, Xu Xun has always been generous in his hands, and the rewards have not been broken according to the season, and now a batch has sorted out a lot, but it is not limited to the people around him, some invaluable gold and silver small things, regardless of merit or demerit, as long as he is serving in Yong'an Palace, even if it is a rough old palace maid, he also has a share. After all, she may have to move to Qingning Palace to live with the queen in the future, but she won't need so many people. Among them, the palace maids who serve Li Jieyu, Jiao Zhaoyi and others are bound to arrange new positions, which can be regarded as a memory for them. - As for other good things, they are naturally reserved for a little bit, and the father who loves her left early, and he didn't leave a word, and Xu Xun also has to plan for his daughter.

Busily, it was time for the emperor to ascend the throne, and early in the morning, everyone got up, first sent a little bit, Zhuang'er changed into big clothes, and then all went to Qingning Palace to meet. After the bolt is finished in Fengtian Palace, Fengxian Hall and other places, he will pass through the Qingning Palace to salute the female elders, and then go out and go through some procedures, after which Ah Huang, Yuanyuan, Diandian, Zhuang'er will meet the emperor again, in short, everyone is constantly saluting today, and the specific etiquette is for adults, and it is not necessary to think about it.

Over the years of court life, the concubines have developed a habit, private interest games, will never be brought to the occasion of interests, in today's enthronement ceremony, everyone is graceful and solemn, each other and peaceful, there is no slightest discord. Although Zhu'er was a little nervous, when he came to salute the elders, he was also clear-eyed, and it could be seen that the study of these days was enough for him to thoroughly understand this set of etiquette.

Seeing that he was wearing a full set of emperor's clothes, although the shape was grand, but he was short in stature, he couldn't help but be a little ridiculous, Xu Xun didn't know how to feel in his heart, she glanced at the queen mother and queen gently, and also saw a trace of emotion from their smiling and decent expressions.

The coffin of the Emperor Daxing, moved out of the Qianqing Palace the next day, temporarily stored in the Jingshan Shouhuang Palace Funeral Palace, until the mausoleum was completed, and then the real Yong'an burial, the emperor officially stayed in the Qianqing Palace, since then, the dust of the imperial inheritance has settled, and the master of the country has finally changed again.

#

Before the emperor ascended the throne, everything had to be conceded for the fact that this represented a major event of stability. Now that the big event is finally over, many of the games that were not held back before will resurface. This point is not something that Xu Xun can avoid by inadvertently asking about foreign affairs.

The first person to mention this to her was not the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother's side, but Mama Sun.

Although the heir emperor ascended the throne, but in the celebrant eunuch, there is only one more Wang Zhen, he is young, senior, and has little experience in dealing with documents, although he received the errand of the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, it can be said that he has entered the power of the celebrant in one step, but now it is just a false title, most of the time, he is still in the Qianqing Palace to accompany the emperor. After all, he is the emperor's companion, and the emperor's de facto adoptive concubine Luo Concubine has died, and the emperor is still quite emotionally attached to him. In the celebrant supervisor, the old man who spoke was still the old man during the Emperor Zhang period, as Wang Jin's opponent, Mama Sun's ability in many aspects was a few points stronger than her colleagues.

"As far as the East Factory is concerned, now I'm afraid it can really be done." She picked up a water-green belly pocket that Xu Xun wore when he was young, and knocked her teeth with Xu Xun, "-This material is really good, if you change it, you can also make a handkerchief, but this is what you wear closely, it is better to put it away." ”

"Well, all of these underwear are stowed away - and more than half of them haven't been worn, what a waste." Xu Xun casually said another thing, "By the way, the bodies left by the immortals are soft and soft, how are they doing now?" ”

"It's still in its place, the house is sealed, and I'm afraid no one will touch it. According to the previous practice, it should be taken back from the official treasury, and then burned and blown up in the future for the newcomer to wear. Grandma Sun turned the topic back again, "I heard Wang Jin say that in the past few days, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have summoned Liu Zhien for questioning. The Empress Dowager also asked him to talk a lot about going to the West. ”

As a court woman who has been to one or two places at most in her life, she has a little admiration for Liu Zhien, who has been to various overseas resorts and has seen and heard far beyond the limits of ordinary people's imagination. As long as Liu Zhien's resume has such an item, his ability will never be questioned, but Xu Xun was a little surprised when she heard it, she raised her eyebrows, "The old lady values him so much?" ”

Mama Sun's attitude towards Liu Zhien's affairs is very cautious, because of Liu Zhien's southward departure, the people around her know almost nothing about the inside story, and they have never dared to ask each other. He left, everyone didn't know the reason, he came back, and everyone still couldn't figure out the reason. Xu Xun said this, naturally there is a reason and a basis, but where the basis is, it is not something that Grandma Sun can speculate at will.

"It seems that he is quite important, and he has already been ordered to work in the East Factory, after all, he is holding the handwritten book of Emperor Zhang." She also replied in a conservative tone.

This was out of Xu Xun's expectations, in her heart, in addition to the Queen Mother, there should be the Queen Mother, especially now, Liu Zhien responded to the summons of the Queen Mother, but also responded to the Queen Mother's summons, and the position was even more ambiguous, could it be that the Queen Mother would not have any worries in her heart? After all, although Ma Shi was in front of the Empress Dowager, he rendered Emperor Zhang's intention to make it clear, and plated a layer of gold for the significance of Liu Zhien's coming to Beijing to enter the East Factory, but this matter can be concealed from the Empress Dowager, but it may not be able to be concealed from the Empress Dowager.

In the Empress Dowager, Liu Zhien is just an ordinary eunuch, who has served in Yong'an Palace for a short time, although he has to be reused, but because of his background and ability, he may not have a deep friendship with Xu Xun. In the turmoil after the establishment, perhaps to show talent, or perhaps to slightly offend the emperor, he was sent to Nanjing on an errand, but it was not a bad yamen, but a Nanjing celebrant supervisor. The emperor summoned him back to enter the East Factory, which is reasonable, after all, such a meritorious eunuch is in Nanjing to retire as a celebrant supervisor, which is also a waste of talents, and fundamentally speaking, she will not have much rejection of Liu Zhien on behalf of Feng En.

Although Liu Zhien and Xu Xun have a relationship, they may secretly take care of them in the future, but now that the two of them have somewhat resolved some knots because of the bolt, plus there is no conflict of interest at all, and they can't fight each other, with her usual style, Xu Xun believes that she may not hinder Liu Zhien from taking the throne for this reason. She wants to protect Feng En, and now there are two ways to go, first, to clash head-on with the Empress Dowager and forcibly protect Feng En, and second, to find a higher position for Feng En to retire, at least not to sweep away his face. Otherwise, if the heroes are degraded, where is the face of the emperor? Whichever way to go, I can't go against Liu Zhien, to put it bluntly, there is a warrant from Emperor Zhang, Ma Shi endorsed and guaranteed, and it was not her turn to say anything more in this matter, and the emperor didn't let Liu Zhien go in and take Feng En, just go in to do things, what position does she not allow?

However, the Empress Dowager's concerns about promoting Liu Zhien are deeper. The reason why she let Xu Xun go, in Xu Xun's own opinion, is seven or eighty percent likely because the cost of letting her be martyred is too great. After all, no matter what she said, she directly promoted the rumors, which indirectly led to the failure of the Empress Dowager Jihua, and for a while she really thought that she had killed her son. Although she is also the one who tells the truth, this kind of slap to a sweet date is not a kindness, the old queen mother has been a master for all these years, how can she still be grateful and change her opinion? It's nothing more than that in the past few months, the power structure is being adjusted, and at the beginning of the cooperation with Sanyang, she didn't want to directly save Shoufu's face - after all, Liu Hulin is still protected in Dongchang, and the archives of the Tai Hospital are also out of reach of the harem ladies. In the hands of the cabinet, he still holds the handle of the Empress Dowager.

has a previous relationship, the empress dowager allowed her not to die, and even treated her well on the surface, at least she was not particularly cold. But freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the two have accumulated a lot of small contradictions over the years, plus she made it clear that she would not be attached to the Queen Mother under heavy pressure. The relationship between the two seems to be close to each other, and the Empress Dowager knows very well the reason why Liu Zhien went to Nanjing, if such a person who is loyal to Xu Xun is promoted to replace Feng En, won't the Empress Dowager be worried, she Xu Xun and the Empress Dowager will join forces again to suppress her? After all, if you can unite the outer court, the cabinet, Dongchang, and the queen mother work together to suppress the queen mother, who is not pro-government, it is not impossible.

She has cooperated with the Queen Mother once, does the old man have no worries in his heart, and he is not afraid that they will cooperate again? In order to move Feng En away, the old man is willing to pay such a big price? Would you rather be unstable all the time in the future?

Xu Xun was indeed very puzzled in her heart, of course she also hoped that Liu Zhien could enter the East Factory, otherwise, even if she went back to Nanjing, this radish was a pit, even if the position was still there, but as soon as he left, I was afraid that there would be no place for him on that side. However, in this matter, if she intervenes, she can only help her, so although she is also a little worried, she can only say, "The affairs of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are not something we can take care of, let's pack up these things first, and when we move another day, they will be sealed separately, so as not to make a mess of the move." ”

"It's said to be moving, but it's still undecided where to move." Grandma Sun nodded yes, and Hua'er came in with a box of gems, and muttered when she heard the words, "It's better not to live with the Queen Mother, let's live by ourselves, I'd rather have a smaller place and be quiet." ”

Under the fence, the taste is certainly not so pleasant. At least you have to be governed by other people's palace rules, and you have to go over to talk when you don't have to. Xu Xun smiled, "Let's see, if Liu Zhien really enters the East Factory, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother may not arrange for me to live in Qingning Palace." ”

The emperor had just ascended the throne, and the two female elders had opened the curtain of the battle again, Xu Xun thought about it, and was tired and panicked for them - how many things have happened in the past year? How many turmoil have been condensed in the last month? Although she also knows that if she doesn't seize the opportunity, she will inevitably be controlled everywhere in the future, but the energy of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother is really admirable to her. She has no energy or interest in caring about anything else except for the little thing in front of her now.

The palace is still very lively, the east palace to be decorated, the west palace to be repaired, large pieces of furniture to move in and out, cabinet Sanyang also began to select teachers for the emperor, and began to lecture in the Wenhua Palace. The fine and soft relics of the old people, collected and burned, the mausoleum of Emperor Zhang is under repair, spring is coming, there are spring floods, spring ploughing, the emperor wants to plough himself, the queen mother, the empress dowager also wants to kiss silkworms, and the honor of the trumpet, the empress dowager is now in control of the palace affairs, Jingci Immortal Master went out of the mountain to help take care of it, everything seems to have not changed, people are still these people - less than before, the relationship still seems to be the same as before, the Empress Dowager occupies the advantage of seniority, and can sacrifice Jingci Immortal Master at any time to disgust the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager in addition to forbearance, There seems to be no other way to deal with this.

The name of Emperor Zhang is rarely mentioned, Xu Xun has carefully calculated that when Emperor Zhang died for thirty days, she never heard his name from anyone on this day.

On the twenty-seventh day of filial piety, the ministers and the emperor removed their clothes together, and Diandian and Zhuang'er no longer wore linen filial piety clothes, but changed to wear homely clothes with light colors, and silver ornaments were used on their heads. The palace ladies are also treated in the same way, although no one has openly dressed red and green, but as time goes by, the self-restraint in clothing will only become more and more relaxed.

Thirty-two days after her death, Dian Dian also showed a smiling face, she took Zhuang'er and went to the imperial garden for a walk, picked several flowers and came back, and put them in the house to make offerings.

"Spring is coming!" Xu Xun overheard her and Mama Qian talking, and her immature tone was very satisfied.

Yes, spring is coming, spring is like a flood rushing up, can't wait to take away all the remnants of winter, Xu Xun has never felt the enormity of time like now, it is so fast to rush forward, with countless mud and sand, tough bombardment, even memory, moment by moment, once it passes, it will never return.

Thirty-four days after Emperor Zhang's death, Xu Xun happened to hear two little palace maids talking and laughing, they were still wearing plain clothes, but there was no etiquette to stop the two little girls from walking happily in front of the newly blooming flowers and bones, for something - or nothing, just because they wanted to laugh and laugh.

She didn't come forward to stop it, let alone feel sad, she just walked away.

Three months later, the repairs and furnishings of various things in the East and West Palaces were completed, and Xu Xun's residence was also decided. The Empress Dowager took advantage of the moving effort to move the original Qingning Palace to the north to a five-entry side hall - it was originally the place where the concubines of the Confucian Temple lived in peace, connected with some surrounding landscape gardens, and came out in a single circle, and newly opened up the Qing'an Palace, so that Xu Xun lived in this palace to facilitate the raising of the prince and the princess.

It is estimated that she also felt that it was a little inconvenient to live in one place, but the Queen Mother did not object to this, and finally accepted it silently. Xu Xun didn't add more beaks, and the group spent two or three days of hard work to move to a new residence, and there were many people coming and going that day, so noisy.

When everything was settled, Immortal Master Jingci came to see Xu Xun, and she smiled, "From now on, it will be much more convenient to come and go." ”

Chang'an Palace and Qingning Palace can be said to be close at hand, two people come and go, you can walk directly, you don't have to be the same as before, you have to sit in a sedan chair, and you have to cross a few walls. Xu Xun nodded and said, "I have to come to the door to ask for tea to eat, I can't say it, and I have to talk to you about the mysteries." ”

"You never believed in these people, why have you changed your personality now?" The immortal master raised his eyebrows.

"I've seen life and death a few times in a row, and I always have some feelings." Xu Xun sighed softly, and in front of the immortal master, he also told the truth. "In the past, I felt that if there was still a soul after death, and there was still the Huangquan Prefecture, it would be the same as they said, death would be like life...... Then I'd rather people die and the lights go out and there is nothing. But now, maybe because I didn't go with it, it's hard to accept that when people die, they really don't have anything...... Always looking forward to, maybe there will be a day when zaijian noodles. ”

"Then you are wrong, our Taoism pays attention to the sanctification of the flesh and the ascension of the day, and uses this as a raft to cross the boundless sea of suffering." After all, after being a female crown for a few years, the immortal master still has eyebrows and eyes when it comes to it. "If you want to believe in reincarnation, in the future, you may have to believe in Buddhism - but, then again, Taoist immortality uses Dan Dao, and you don't know it. Look at what Emperor Zuihou eats himself, you will know this way, whether you can believe it or not. ”

Dan Dao is to be alchemy, from Emperor Taizu, to now count five generations of emperors, none of them are not deeply believers in Taoism, as far as Xu Xun knows, there are Emperor Wen, Emperor Zhao and Emperor Zhang who feel that their condition has deteriorated by taking Dan, she can't help but shake her head and sigh, "That's it, I would rather not believe it when you say this." ”

On the Immortal Master's lips, a disdainful smile appeared, "Boundless wealth is not enough, and it also requires immortality, so it's no wonder that three generations in a row have eaten and died suddenly...... Hey, maybe when people become emperors, they will become stupid, and things that they didn't believe in before will suddenly change their minds and believe in them. ”

Anyway, it is difficult for Xu Xun to imagine that some people in Weishenme believe that taking Dan can live forever, but he thinks that Dan can be transferred, and the harm is by no means small. When she was about to speak, suddenly the Empress Dowager invited the two of them over, and the two of them hurriedly packed up, got into a sedan chair together, and went to the East Palace.

When I arrived at the local area, I saw that the Queen Mother was also there, and the Queen Mother had a lot of exquisite boxes in her hand, and when she saw the two of them coming, she said, "I've been busy forgetting about it for a while-Emperor Zhang's relics, the ones that should be sent to the funeral have been put away, and the ones that should be burned have also been burned, and the rest of the personal things, you have each collected them, go back and keep them for a thought." ”

As he spoke, he opened the box one by one, and it was really not a precious thing, there were Emperor Zhang's clothes, seals, as well as commonly used stationery, favorite small objects, and even some of his poems and paintings. According to the rules of the palace, after the new emperor ascended the throne, in addition to the large furniture and large furnishings, the Qianqing Palace had to be replaced with new furnishings inside and outside, and the old things were almost burned except for the emperor's funeral. These things are the remains of the emperor in this world.

The few women sitting here almost didn't want anything materially, but their relationship with each other was a little awkward, and no one spoke for a while, but the Queen Mother said, "Just such things, you can see them, don't be humble, you want what you want." ”

Xu Xun looked at it, almost all of them were things she knew, from the walnuts that the emperor often kneaded in his hands, to a purple bamboo bag of gold crickets that he usually stuffed in his arms, but clothes, etc., because the emperor had too many clothes, there were few cases where a set of clothes was worn several times, only a set of close-fitting Songjiang muslin lining, which he wore several times, because he felt that it was softer and more comfortable to wear out, and specially instructed that there was no replacement, so he said, "Zhuang'er is a little small, I'm welcome, this square inkstone, the eldest brother is idle to write banners, and is commonly used when painting ink painting, It was given to Zhuang'er. The cinnabar box and the brush are just right for the bolt, and they can be regarded as each inheritance. Click here, and I'll take a cricket tube. ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, her tone was a little warmer, and she didn't care that Xu Xun called the emperor's nickname, "I like to fight crickets, this is with my father, I remember that when I was only four years old, I knew how to read it." Every autumn, I think about telling me to go to the Qianqing Palace to see her father fighting crickets. ”

As for the distribution of the four treasures of the study, it is decent, the cinnabar red pen is used by the emperor to deal with the folds, and the strong child can not get it, and he took the Duan inkstone used by his father to splash ink for the painting, and he also got his talent, and she made a start, and the queen also picked a set of backgammon for Yuanyuan, and said to the immortal master, "I remember that the last time I saw a painting of Ah Huang, it was good, and among several children, that is, she inherited the painting talent of her eldest brother, we Yuanyuan is not as good as my sister in this point." ”

She can be regarded as doing what she says, and now she is not full of smiles and is so diligent that she has no dignity, but she often makes a few kind words, and she is no longer cold as before. However, this is a bit of a good thing, after all, she was unconsciously cheated by Ah Huang once.

The immortal master didn't show any abnormality on her face, but her eyes were a little rippling, and she nodded, "I also want to pick a painting for her, but I don't know if it's better to pick this "Three Friends of the Cold Year" or this mouse painting." ”

The queen snorted and laughed out loud, and even the queen mother was amused, "Da Lang - Emperor Zhang is this quirk, especially fond of drawing mice, I like this pair of biting lychees, vivid, gluttonous, really like a mouse." ”

"Rats don't eat lychees." Xu Xun said with a smile, "After all, I haven't seen a real house mouse, and I just draw it with the brocade mouse in the cage." ”

The queen mother said that the mouse painting is good, and the immortal master will naturally not pick it up again, she picked the "Three Friends of the Year and the Cold" for her daughter, "Fengquan two music, pine and bamboo three friends, deal with people, learn this year and cold three friends, loyal and clean, this pair for the child to keep." ”

As a close person around the emperor, some of the playthings that have followed him for a long time, the three of them are impressed, and there are a few of them, which are personally appreciated by the Queen Mother, at this time the conversation box gradually opened, saying the interesting things of Emperor Zhang, in this short period of time, conflicts of interest, grievances and entanglements, seem to be faded outside of time and space, only in this moment, the atmosphere is harmonious and warm, a touch of nostalgia, along with Emperor Zhang's legacy, was sent to everyone's hands. It doesn't matter who gets what.

In addition to giving a little bit and Zhuang'er's thoughts, Xu Xun picked another volume of banners written by the first emperor, and there were still some fragments left, everyone divided them together, and soon they all found a place. At the end, there is a tangram box, which is also commonly used by the emperor when traveling in the south and Xiyuan, it was originally a box, when needed, the box is opened and combined, a leg, the four treasures of the study are taken out, and between the opening and closing of the mechanism, it is a small table in an instant, which is also convenient for him to suddenly enjoy poetry when he is hunting, and he can wave on the spot.

Xu Xun has served the first emperor for many years, and I don't know how many times he leaned on the edge of the table to polish ink for him, and now when he sees this box, he also feels kind, and strokes the surface of the box and says, "Except for a few people around the eldest brother, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the rest to restore it." This table is not clever, and it is not like a normal table. -- His "Spring in the Forest" was written on this table. ”

In addition to the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager and the Immortal Master are all confused, because the poetry of the first emperor is not so outstanding compared to the painting talent, and there are few in the harem to circulate his pen and ink, not particularly careful, or the right person to meet, it is difficult to pay attention to all the poems he has done.

"The clouds in the mountains are blooming, and the birds in the forest are making spring sounds. The meaning of things contains the meaning of spring, and the heart of heaven is in line with my heart. The Queen Mother read it softly, and suddenly sighed again, "I thought of another poem, which is also this mold." ”

She didn't say any more, but said, "Since you are most familiar with this table, I will give it to you, and this is also fate." ”

Seeing that the remaining two had no objections, Xu Xun was not hypocritical and humble, so he responded, and naturally someone came up to hold these souvenirs and sent them back to the palace, and the three of them served the Queen Mother for a while.

Outside, I don't know when it has rained, the three of them did not ask the palace maid to serve, they took an umbrella and walked through the temple, from the people naturally did not dare to make noise, the atmosphere was quiet as if walking in a dream.

"Yes." After walking a few steps, the Queen Mother suddenly said, "I haven't told you yet, Concubine, Liu Zhien's dispatch has been decided." ”

Xu Xun's expression moved slightly, "Sure enough?" ”

"Well," the Queen Mother nodded indifferently, "After the anniversary festival of the eldest brother, he will succeed Feng En and take charge of the East Factory." ”

After all, there was nearly a year of hard work for him to prepare to take over, with Liu Zhien's ability, he should be competent, and Xu Xun did not humble anything on his behalf - they are no longer in this relationship - but simply asked, "Feng En has made great contributions, but he is thrown into idleness, will it hinder the discussion and affect the atmosphere?" ”

Feng En's stay does not lie in the authority of Dongchang, but the embodiment of the authority of the Empress Dowager in the palace, many things are so strange, if everyone does not take the Empress Dowager seriously, the outer court will not be affected by her, but if the inner court respects her very much, and puts her dignity above the authority of the emperor, then the attitude of the outer court towards her will be much stricter.

"He will go to the Inner Twelve Warehouses, especially the Inner Reservoir Chief." The Queen Mother said, "The title of Commander and Eunuch." ”

This is the highest position that an inner servant can have, it can be said that he is the head of all eunuchs, originally this title belonged to Fan Hong, and he was so favored that he even received an edict to avoid death, Xu Xun couldn't help asking, "Then, what about Fan Hong-"

"Fan Hong went to supervise the construction of the mountain mausoleum, and when he came back, he also joined the celebrant eunuch, took charge of the eunuch position, and took care of things as usual." The Queen Mother sighed, "This entry and exit can be regarded as the dignity of everyone." ”

Xu Xun also bowed slightly-for Fan Hong, although there is a taste of unwarranted disasters, but the personnel of the inner court are like this, the important thing is not the title, but the authority. Besides, in terms of Feng En's merits, he has the position of a celebrant and a eunuch, and he deserves it, and no one can say anything. Even if he grows up and is sensible in the future, if he wants to be sealed again, it should be, without him at the critical moment, it is hard to say what the queen mother thinks.

I thought that for this matter, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother would fight for the blood and never die, but after a few months of silence, it was actually such an ending, both sides took a step back, but they were very satisfied, and let her get some benefits among them. Rao is Xu Xun was also a little surprised, this was indeed very inconsistent with her impression of the two, she couldn't help but turn sideways, raised the umbrella, and glanced at the Queen Mother.

As if sensing her doubts, the Queen Mother smiled softly and bitterly, but said calmly, "The old lady is the Queen Mother after all, and sweeping her face is not the same as sweeping the face of the inner court?" ”

The Queen Mother is still very young this year, if Bolt is as short as her father, she has a great hope of living as the Queen Mother, and naturally she will not want the status of the Queen Mother to be swept down in her hands. Xu Xun didn't expect that she would understand this truth, it seems that the Queen Mother's mentality has also undergone many changes in the past few months.

If you think about it carefully, it is also relieved, if the queen is only a first-class housewife and incapable of participating in politics, when the emperor is young and the empress dowager is old, the queen mother can already be regarded as a political figure. Once the Empress Dowager is sick and unable to govern, she will definitely have to be the master of the house, and in such a situation, the previous set is no longer applicable.

"Take a step back, open the sea and the sky." Her praise is indeed sincere, "Today's inner court is still able to make peace and be precious." ”

Politics is different from family, the family is such a big land, such a little power, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. However, there are never real enemies or true friends among politicians, and the fundamental driving force that determines their actions is only their own interests. Xu Xun has been serving the first emperor for many years, and listening to him nag about the affairs in the court, he left such an impression. Between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, of course, there are contradictions, but there are also common interests, can put aside mutual grievances, limited cooperation, in the next ten years, there should be no major battles in the court.

As for whether there will be another storm between several generations of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law and concubines after she grows up and marries a newlywed-in-law and concubine will also be a matter for the next generation, at most it will involve the empress dowager and the empress dowager, but it will not have much to do with her.

Being promoted to a concubine is tantamount to reincarnating as a human being, and from now on, the tone of her life will change greatly. Without the favor and power brought by the first emperor, there would be no crisis and jealousy brought by him. The funeral that has been hanging over her head will no longer be a threat, as long as she does not make extremely rebellious things, no heir emperor will deal with the concubines of the first emperor, she is finally safe, for the first time in her life, she can see the end of her life at a glance.

It was a smooth road, with all that she longed for, no quarrel with the world, quiet and inaction, raising children, enjoying the glory and wealth brought to her by this almost infinite national power in the most powerful country, the most prosperous city, and the most magnificent complex in the world......

The minister had to be seventy years old to beg for bones, and how fortunate was she? He was not even half as old as he was seventy years old, and he was already retired. In the midst of ups and downs, she had everything she had once that she could only imagine in her dreams and had given up seeking.

It's just that she can no longer feel joy for these, it turns out that life has come to every step, there are really troubles at every step, Xu Xun thought, ten years ago, how could I have thought of it now?

In silence, the three of them had already stepped out of the door of the East Palace, and the three of them waited in turn not far from the stairs, and the Queen Mother walked down the steps, but turned around again, looking at the plaque of the East Palace, and her face was a little confused.

"Ten years ago, this place was not called Renshou Palace." She said softly.

Yes, ten years ago, this was the residence of the prince, and these three women all lived here for a short time. At that time, the East Palace was much more lively than now, and now looking back, I only feel that the intrigue for those trivial things, compared with the ups and downs later, is a little innocent and cute.

"Thirty years ago here, my father and brother held my things ......" The queen mother's voice, halfway through speaking, finally slowly faded, she sighed softly, "When the wandering soul comes back one day, will you also want to find the traces of Chen?" ”

The willow leaves are green and dark, and the lotus sunset is red. Thirty-six spring waters, white-headed want to see Jiangnan.

After all, Emperor Zhang did not wait for the day of 'coming back to Baishou today', and in this life, he never went back to Jiangnan.

The immortal master had never been drafted, and she was afraid that she didn't know the source of this statement, so she sighed softly on the side, "Now there are only three left." ”

"After all, there is one more person." The Queen Mother took a breath, and suddenly seemed to want to make a joke, glanced at Xu Xun, and said a little jokingly.

"Yes, there is one more person after all." The immortal master looked at the Queen Mother, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in her words.

Although it was said that in the past, once the emperor died, Sun Guifei's funeral was an ironclad matter, but this was the first time that the immortal master admitted positively that she had such thoughts back then. The Queen Mother was slightly stunned, chewed for a while, and said with a smile, "Yes, after all, I am the only one who is superfluous." ”

"It's not in vain for your hard work." Xu is touching the scene, thinking of the past, the tone of the immortal master is a little sharp.

Before the Queen Mother could reply, Xu Xun came back to her senses and hurriedly eased the atmosphere, "That's it, anyway, you never have to worry about dying." ”

Even if she loses her position, she is once a wife, and she is guaranteed to have nothing to do with the funeral, and at this moment, the fairy master and the two concubines seem to have a natural estrangement. The Queen Mother eased her expression and was a little melancholy, "Yes, at least, we all survived." ”

At this point in life, don't you feel emotional?

The three of them stood at the foot of the steps, looking back at the cascading sky, the breeze blowing, rolling up the drizzle, and the entire palace seemed to be frozen in time at this moment.

In the following month, the Empress Dowager's Honorific Ceremony, the Empress Dowager's Honorific Ceremony, and the Emperor's Concubine Honorific Ceremony were held in turn, and Xu Xun's career as an imperial concubine officially ended.

The author has something to say: I almost finished the whole text when I wrote to zuihou, haha......

Of course, basically, at this point, the imperial concubine volume is over, and if you want, you can also treat it as the end of the whole text...... Because after all, the emperor is hanging, and Xu Xun will not have any life and death crisis in the future, just live down, there is no suspense, but I said that I will write from life to death, of course, there will be no regrets, and the length after that is estimated will not be very long, because there are not many things that can be said~

The poems in the PS synopsis are also Wang Anshi's, and Bai Shou wants to see Jiangnan to make up two poems of "Title West Taiyi Palace Wall". The rather crappy Kabayashi Chunse is really made from a historical prototype......
