8. Eliminate miscellaneous redundancy
Zhao Yuli and Zhao Yuzhen stayed here for a while with Duan Shunrong, until Duan Shunrong came to catch up: "Okay, you can go back, you two little ancestors are here, Danniang and I can't do anything, look, the ground is still dusty, and the two yards haven't been cleaned yet, after cleaning, we still have to fetch water, boil water, bathe, and have to get food later, there are still many things, you should go back to review your homework." Zhao Yuli hugged her mother's waist and was reluctant to leave, Duan Shunrong squatted down and hugged her in her arms, "Mother will be fine here, you can be relieved, okay?" After thinking about it, she stroked the hair hanging on the back of her head: "Don't come often in the future, and you must let the queen mother know if you come again." Yuli's eyes were red, and she was originally excited to tell her mother that she wanted to come often, but she choked up and couldn't speak. Duan Shunrong didn't know what was going on in her daughter's heart, holding her two little hands and rubbing them carefully in the palms of her hands, she couldn't give up, but she stood up and called Zhao Mu in, "Schoolwork is important, take your sisters back, be careful, don't attract attention." ”
Zhao Mu nodded yes, and called Yu Zhen and Yu Li back, Yu Zhen saw that Yu Li was really reluctant, stepped forward to take his sister's hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, my sister will bring you again", Yu Li nodded, bit her lip, and was pulled out of the door by her sister with a cry. She turned back step by step, Duan Shunrong smiled and waved, turned her head and walked into the back room, tears rolled down in an instant - the daughter she held in the palm of her hand had become sensible at this moment she had never noticed, this was just a chapter in the countless growth of her daughter in five years, but there was no joy and pride in her heart, on the contrary, this was the most painful moment in her mother's heart.
Before Zhao Mu and his party arrived at the door, Mama had already seen them from a distance and trotted to the door to wait. Zhao Mu thought for a while, stopped and asked, "I saw a blue brick thing in the small courtyard, which seemed to have traces of fire, but it was a stove?" Mama smiled: "The prince is careful, it is indeed a small stove." The cold palace also went to the general dining room to receive meals, but the prince knew that most of the turn of the cold palace would not be hot, and when the cold palace was repaired, we added such a gadget in each courtyard, although it was difficult to cook without rice, a hot meal was always OK. Zhao Mu smiled: "But Mama's idea?" Mama bent her waist lower, "What else can the person who entered the cold palace ask for?" It's just a little bit of fireworks. Zhao Mu nodded, said no more, signaled Mama to open the door, Mama opened the door and walked to the palace road casually to look around, saw that there was no one around, signaled the four of them to come out, and he returned to the cold palace, "squeak" and slowly closed the door.
On the way back, Baguio was still alert, and returned to the middle palace with the three masters without danger. When passing in front of the queen's bedroom, the four of them took a few glances into the hall, but they saw the little maid dozing off with her head hanging her head, and then quickly ran into the Xinuan Pavilion - they still had something to say. Who knows, the four people who just ran into the Xinuan Pavilion were frightened, without him, Queen Wang was sitting on the couch near the window playing chess. Outside the window of the Xinuan Pavilion is adjacent to the garden, although the garden is separated by a wall, but there is a flower window specially left, through which you can see the shadowy bamboo in the garden, as well as the crape myrtle that blooms in the afternoon sun with light pink and light purple, in the afternoon of July, with the hot wind and the cicadas that have withered a lot, accompanied by the rustling sound of bamboo leaves blowing into the room, Zhu Bi stood behind the queen while fanning her, while watching her fall, but there is also a clear and quiet coolness.
Zhao Yuzhen and Zhao Yuli are still young, and they are not as alert as Zhao Mu, and they never knew that they went to the cold palace may be the queen's thoughtfulness, but they were arrested for causing trouble again, Zhao Yuzhen remembered her mother's thunderous appearance, her two hands were nervously pinched together under her sleeves, and her little face was already pale. Zhao Yuli stood aside, thinking that he had affected his brothers and sisters, he was both weak and guilty, his mouth opened slightly and he was about to apologize, but after Queen Wang left a son, she turned around and asked, "Are you back?" Is it still going well? Zhao Mu straightened his face and replied: "We didn't see anyone back and forth, but I don't know if we will be discovered." The queen nodded: "Yes, but Shun Rongfu entered the cold palace, and it was reasonable for the princess to worry about her mother going to visit." The queen stretched out her hand and motioned for Yu Bi to sit beside her, "I have asked Zhu Bi to go to the cold palace last night, where the housekeeper and Zhu Bi are old acquaintances, not good at tricks, there are rules and regulations, and she is tight-mouthed and kind-hearted, she will not embarrass your mother", "After that, you can visit your mother again, but not too many times, do you know why?" Yu Fei tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "Mother also told me not to go often, because you are worried about my safety." The queen nodded, and then asked, "Do you know why there is danger?" Yu Fei didn't know, and said ignorantly: "Is it because my father is still angry?" Queen Wang smiled and touched Yuli's hair, "It's because of the queen mother, it's the queen mother who is afraid of affecting you." She said to the three of them: "Although things are caused by you now, the attack is against the queen mother, but they won't do anything to the queen mother, so they need the people around the queen mother, or the people around you to bear the consequences, your mother has entered the cold palace, and the rest of you and Zhu Bi are the people around the queen mother, and the people around you are your own maid palace people." Zhao Yuzhen and Zhao Yuli didn't understand very well when they heard this, but Zhao Mu reacted, "Is the queen mother worried about Concubine You?" ”
Queen Wang shook her head: "There are disputes in the harem, and people often say that women are treacherous, but they don't know that the key lies in the situation between the court and the emperor and the emperor. Queen Wang shook her head again, and said to Zhao Yuzhen and Zhao Yuli: "In short, don't visit often, you must discuss with the queen mother before you go, and after that, let's take a step at a time." She turned her head to look at Zhao Mu, "You should go and review your homework, after that, you should not only pay close attention to your schoolwork, but also learn more about the situation in the imperial court, otherwise, you will be like a blind man touching an elephant, knowing everything but not knowing the overall situation." ”
Zhao Mu hurriedly nodded yes, and Zhao Yuzhen and Zhao Yuli also agreed obediently. Queen Wang saw that after they experienced such a twist and turn, they were each sensible a lot, and the three brothers and sisters had deep feelings, knew how to take care of and support each other, and felt comforted, and then thought of Duan Shunrong who was beaten into the cold palace, and couldn't help sighing, "Inadvertently caught off guard", she patted Zhao Yuli's hand, "The queen mother has nothing to do during this time, why don't I study with you, how about it?" Zhao Yuzhen couldn't help but shrink when he heard this, but Zhao Yuli was very happy - now that his mother was not around, the queen mother was willing to accompany her, and his heart was naturally a lot more steady. Queen Wang felt her joy and couldn't help but hug her, in her heart, although Zhao Yuzhen was not as bold as Zhao Yuzhen, nor as thoughtful as Yuzhen, but she was innocent, caring, sensible, and more like an ordinary daughter she was looking forward to, and this was something that Zhao Yuzhen, as the eldest princess, could not have anyway.
In the warm pavilion here, the queen is talking to her children, and in the study of the idle old Zhao Wangye, the old Zhao is also talking to his children and grandchildren.
