"I often come to see the mourning family. You're fine, but as soon as you get home, you don't want to come. The Queen Mother looked at Xu Zhilan and her tone contained a hint of disgust.

"The Queen Mother, you remember the courtiers, and the courtiers are flattered. It's just that the courtiers have been studying with the master for a few days, and they have been busy for a while. If this were not the case, the women would have often come to visit the Queen Mother's palace. ”

"I see! The mourning family thinks you are sad at home! In this way, the mourning family is also relieved. The Queen Mother's tone softened.

Xu Zhilan was very moved when he heard it, it turned out that the Queen Mother was worried that she was in a bad mood.

She grew up in an orphanage, and no one cared about her, nor did she feel the warmth of being cared for by her relatives.

After arriving in this world, the original master Xu Zhilan's mother passed away, although his father Xu Zhihuan loved himself, he was busy with government affairs, Xu Ting's mother and daughter always aimed at themselves, although Yu Huiyi and Qin Lao were sincere to themselves, but they were always men, and after all, they couldn't make up for the maternal warmth she lacked and longed for.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother and herself were only a few faces, but she remembered her so much, treating herself like a granddaughter, Lin Zhilan's heart was surging, and a warm current surged into his heart.

Xu Zhilan was grateful for the care of the Queen Mother, and the tone of his voice couldn't help but soften a little, "Thank you Queen Mother, you remember, the courtiers are really fine." Queen Mother, you old man should take care of your health, don't worry about your courtiers anymore. ”

After a pause, she said again: "The courtiers are curious! Entering the palace today, everywhere you go is full of colorful lanterns, colorful, and it is very beautiful! There's going to be another banquet in the palace, right? I wonder what kind of happy event there is? ”

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, "Soon it will be the Lantern Festival, and all palaces and halls are making preparations." That night, the lights were bright, and the lights were like stars in the sky. ”

"Lantern Festival?" Xu Zhilan's eyes widened, she has been busy with work in modern society, and she rarely goes to these traditional festivals unless necessary, and she is very curious at this time, "The courtiers have been so busy these days that they don't even remember what day of the month it is." ”

"You fool, you forgot about such an important holiday!" The Queen Mother saw that she was interested, and then said, "You must come when the time comes." At the Lantern Festival, there are also games that you young people love to play, enjoy the lanterns and guess lantern riddles at night. The mourning family is also playful when it is as old as you, and I love these lively, guess the lantern riddles on the Lantern Festival, and the mourning family can basically guess it, and the brothers and sisters in the family are not as good as the mourning family. ”

Xu Zhilan nodded, she wanted to know what kind of grand scene the lantern festival of the ancients would be.

The Queen Mother and Xu Zhilan talked about their daily routines all morning and talked happily. At noon, Xu Zhilan and the Queen Mother had lunch together. When it was time to take the decoction, Su Xin brought a small bowl of steaming decoction, handed it to the Queen Mother, and coaxed her to drink the medicine.

The Queen Mother frowned, "I have drunk this decoction for many years, and the mourning family has a bitter tongue when I drink it, and I don't see this body with hard bones." ”

Xu Zhilan said with a smile, "No wonder people often say old children, old children. The Queen Mother is now like a child, and she is not worry-free. I think this soup is bitter and refuse to drink the medicine, and I always have to feed you some sweets to be happy, so Zhilan will make you a bowl of pudding. However, the Queen Mother has to drink this bowl of soup and medicine, the good medicine is bitter, and this soup has to be drunk uninterruptedly, and it will take a long time to see the effect! ”

The Queen Mother heard this and said angrily: "You will be poor!" ”

So, he took the medicine in Su Xin's hand and drank it in a few sips.

After drinking the medicine, the Queen Mother was sleepy and sat on the couch yawning again and again. Su Xin hurriedly helped the Queen Mother up and served her to sleep.

Xu Zhilan saw that the Queen Mother was already asleep, so he went out of the He'an Palace, walked around to pass the time, walked to a corner of the palace, and was stopped by a little palace maid in Tsing Yi, "Miss Xu stays." ”

Xu Zhilan saw this little palace maid face, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what this sister called me?" ”

The palace maid said with a smile: "The flowers in the imperial garden are blooming brightly, Miss Xu has nothing to do, I don't know if I would like to cut a few flower branches?" ”

"Isn't there a special palace person in charge of pruning flower branches?" Xu Zhilan looked at the palace maid in Tsing Yi and asked puzzledly.

"The Queen Mother is very fond of those flowers. If you cut a few flowers and insert them in the red coral Baoyue bottle in front of the Queen Mother's bed, the Queen Mother and her old people will definitely feel comfortable when they see it! The voice of the palace maid in Tsing Yi was very crisp.

Xu Zhilan felt that this matter was strange, why did this well-behaved palace maid find her.

However, she was also curious about what kind of fame this was playing, so she pressed the doubts in her heart, looked up at the plaque, and remembered the name of the palace. Then he nodded and agreed to go to the imperial garden with the palace maid.

The Imperial Garden is full of flowers. The peonies, clusters of begonias, and roses compete for beauty, bursts of fragrance, colorful butterflies, warblers crying, and a beautiful scenery in the world!

The palace maid led Xu Zhilan and stopped in front of a peony flower garden that was in full bloom.

The peony is charming, like a delicate girl dressed in red silk, the golden stamens are like woven with complicated gold thread, the fiery red petals are like the flames rising in the stove, and like the red clouds on the horizon. The glass-like beauty of Ochiko is like light smoke, and the wind blows the coral-like flowers, wafting with bursts of fragrant fragrance, which is refreshing.

The palace maid in Tsing Yi pointed to the peony flower garden and said, "This is the queen mother's favorite peony flower, Miss Xu can cut a few back." ”

While he was talking, a twelve or thirteen-year-old maid came over and shouted to the palace maid in Tsing Yi: "Sister Ling'er, hurry back to Baoyue Palace, there is something urgent!" The palace maid in Tsing Yi instructed Xu Zhilan to choose carefully, and then left the imperial garden.

After the palace maid left, Xu Zhilan walked into the flower garden, watched for a while, and cut a few peony flowers as big as a bowl.

Song Zilin is standing in the Imperial Garden Listening to the Incense Pavilion at the moment, this is a high pavilion, standing in it, you can take in the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden. Seeing that the palace maid Ling'er really deceived Xu Zhilan here, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around and instructed the maid beside her: "Go and invite Concubine Shu." Let's just say that Miss Xufuxu, in order to please the Queen Mother, destroyed her favorite peony flower garden. ”

The flower garden is not owned by the Queen Mother, but Concubine Shu's favorite thing.

Xu Zhilan, this time I will definitely make you look good!

The more Song Zilin thought about it, the happier she became, the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked, and when she looked back at the flower garden, she was gone.

She was amazed and looked around, but it was as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

Suspicious in her heart, she hurriedly ordered the palace maid to hurry up and invite Concubine Shu.

The maid took the order and went away, Song Zilin looked at the flower garden, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, this time Xu Zhilan was planted!

Concubine Shu is currently the most favored concubine of the emperor in the harem, she loves peony and destroyed her flower garden, Xu Zhilan is not a little wronged, I am afraid that it is not easy to explain, she is waiting to see a good show!

When Xu Zhilan returned from the Imperial Garden and the Andian, the Queen Mother had woken up from her nap.

Seeing Xu Zhilan holding a few peony flowers in his hand, he asked her where she had just gone with a smile.

Xu Zhilan was about to open his mouth to answer, when he heard the eunuch outside the hall singing loudly: "Concubine Shu has arrived!" ”
