The Empress Dowager's decree was sent to the Jin Palace, and Duan Yingjin and Feng Qing were quite surprised.

"The Queen Mother summoned Mao De to the palace to live? What do you mean? Duan Yingjin frowned and looked at his wife.

"Don't look at me, the princess, I don't understand it!" Although she and Jiang Nan are also aunts and nephews, they are not as close as Feng Wu and Jiang Nan at all, after all, they have little intersection.

"No, for no reason, why did you only invite Maude?" Could it be some conspiracy? Duan Yingjin couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Yi Zhi wrote that it was so that our son could accompany the Queen Mother's 'new favorite'. The daughter of a subordinate is also worthy of being the son of the world? The Queen Mother is really old and confused! "Boss Feng Qing is not happy.

"That's why this king thinks there's a problem...... That's it, just send it. Tell Mao De to please the Queen Mother, don't make her old man unhappy. Duan Yingjin touched her chin and couldn't help but associate this matter with the queen. Eighty percent is another trick played by the queen, but Yi has already made a decree, and he can only see the tricks.

"Okay then......" Feng Qing reluctantly went to pack up for her son.

It is not the first time that Duan Maode has come to the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace, but it is the first time to stay here. However, having had the "experience" of living in Fengwu Palace, it is no different to want to come to Yongshou Palace. Maude is attentive and clever, and quickly adapts to the unfamiliar environment.

Cheng Shu was taking a nap, and Mao De was bored wandering around the side hall by himself, just in time to catch Xia Ying to deliver fruit.

"Xiao Shizi is really energetic, don't you sleep for a while? Your sister hasn't woken up yet. Xia Ying put down the fruit plate, picked up Maude and checked it, the little guy was quite heavy.

"In order to be able to play with his sister, Maude had slept enough yesterday, and now he is not sleepy! Mama, when will my sister wake up? Maud was four and a half years old, and he didn't like being held very much, so he struggled out of Kasumi's arms.

Xia Ying put him down, stuffed him with a big red apple, and coaxed: "Don't worry, little Shizi, the old slave is going to see if Shu'er is up?" You eat a fruit first and wait for Mama to come back, okay? ”

Maud nodded obediently, and Kasumi patted him on the cheek lovingly. This little man is sensible and clever, and he looks at it and attracts rare people, I don't know how many times stronger than his sinister and cunning father!

Maud waited for a moment, and then saw an old woman dressed in a rich garment with a milk doll made of pink and jade. He knew the woman, she was the Queen Mother's great-grandmother!

"Great-grandson Maode, please say hello to the emperor's great-grandmother!" Mao De learned from the way he used to greet the queen, and made a big salute to the queen mother in a proper manner.

"Yo, the prince of Jin is a good boy at a young age but polite and thoughtful! Get up quickly, come to my great-grandmother. "There is no one who has learned Duanmaode's wit that does not like him, and this is really different from his father.

Mao De ran over and grabbed Jiang Wei's knee, looking at Cheng Shu who was not yet fully awake with wide eyes.

"What is Maude looking at? Don't you think your sister is cute? Jiang Liang teased the little boy.

"Lovely! My sister doesn't seem to have slept enough, so it's funny to look confused! Great-grandmother, look at ......" Mao De pulled Jiang Yuan's sleeve, pointed to the corner of Cheng Shu's mouth and said, "My sister still has saliva on her lips!" Ha ha! He thought it was funny and laughed merrily.

"Mourning family...... Really! Jiang Yu also laughed, took out a handkerchief and wiped Cheng Shu's saliva.

Jiang Fang's mood couldn't be better. Since she had Cheng Shu by her side, she felt that her later life had some taste; Today, Maude entered the palace, adding another layer of joy to this taste. If one day, the daughter and son-in-law can bring Qin Min and Qin Si to the palace for a small gathering, it will be a real family fun!

But she doesn't ask for anything more, and it is already commendable to keep Chengshu by her side for a while.

In the middle of the joke, Xia Ying brought a basket of toys, in which were placed rattles, cloth tigers, noodle figures, and face masks...... Everything you need, all of which are children's favorite gadgets.

Jiang Yu picked up a rattle and handed it to Duan Maode: "Maode can play with this to tease her sister, she likes this the most." ”

Mao De pushed Jiang Yuan's hand, shook his head and said, "These things are too common, it's not interesting!" Look what new stuff I've brought for my sister! Maude clapped his hands, and the little eunuch who followed him took the burden he had brought.

Maud dug into his baggage and held up a delicate doll as if he were offering a treasure. He handed the doll to Cheng Shu, and Cheng Shu really didn't look at the rattle again, and stretched out his little hand to grab the doll.

Maude was born on a visit from the Western mission, and the doll was given to him by the painter Rimbaud at the time. Such imported goods are extremely rare in Dahan, and ordinary wealthy families can't buy them with any amount of money; Even if you are a relative of the emperor, if you can get such a toy, it is also a capital worth showing off.

Although the doll is precious, it is a pity that Maud is a boy after all, and he is no longer interested in these things when he is older. The reason why he still treasures this doll is that he wants to wait for his sister to play with in the future. Helplessly, since him, half of his brother and sister are gone! This well-dressed "luxury" had to be put on the shelf.

"Cheng Shu...... Want! Cheng Shu couldn't wait to reach the doll, and Maude teased Cheng Shu with it for a while, and then generously gave the doll to her. Cheng Shu hugged the doll and smiled contentedly.

"Look at her, it's fun! You took your brother's things, but remember to say thank you? Jiang Nan was also amused by the interaction between the two children.

"Thank you...... Thank! Cheng Shu's last word "thanks" bit very hard, as if this was the only way to express her gratitude and joy.

"You're welcome! I'm a boy, and people laugh at me all day when I mess with this. Since my sister likes it, it's the best thing to give it to you! Maude doesn't have a sister, so he treats Sister Shu as his own sister! Maude patted his chest, looking like a little man, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh my little son, this little mouth is really good at talking! Eighty percent followed his mother. The Queen Mother still remembers that Miss Fengsan had the sweetest mouth when she was a child. When Madame Feng brought her to the palace to say goodbye, she also made you and the first emperor laugh! Kasumi Shadow recalls the past many years ago.

Of course the mourners remember. At that time, Feng Qing was almost as old as him now, and he coaxed the palace not to praise her for being good! That little mouth is really like honey! Jiang Luo dragged Mao De up to his knees, touched his small bun and praised: "However, the mourning family is still good at this child!" That cleverness comes out of his bones, and he will definitely be a promising one in the future! "As long as Duan Yingjin abides by her duty, she doesn't worry that the queen will not favor this child.

In this way, Duan Maode lived in Yongshou Palace for three or five days, and he and Cheng Shu got along well.

February 15 is Li Jingxi's birthday, in addition to the queen and imperial concubines, all the qualified concubines in the palace want to go to Guanju Palace to congratulate. It's a pity that Li Jingxi is not a hospitable person, and she doesn't even have a banquet to welcome guests on her birthday.

In the past, Luo Zixiao was arrogant, but after having a son and being promoted to the concubine, he wanted to compete with Li Jingxi. Now they are both one of the four concubines, and they are finally equal in status, but they are not as good as them in terms of family background and qualifications.

Li Jingxi has not accepted the rain and dew for many years, but the emperor still remembers her and loves her, which can see the influence of Li Jingxi and the Li family behind her.

Luo Zixiao only now really recognized his gap, so he no longer rushed to compete for the top, and turned to another gentle means to achieve his goal. She wanted to take this opportunity to please Li Jingxi, and by the way, she also took Yingzhe around. Li Jingxi has no children, if Yingzhe can win her favor, it will be of great benefit to his future future!

"Mother, the son doesn't want to go to the palace of the concubine." Concubine Shu made it clear that she didn't like to be disturbed, and the concubines next to her only sent congratulatory gifts. I don't understand why the mother wants to visit him in person, and she has to pull him in?

"What do you say! On the birthday of the concubine, the mother concubine is a 'sister', how can there be no congratulatory gift? Luo Zixiao glanced at his son reproachfully.

"There are so many 'sisters' of the mother concubine...... "Yingzhe muttered quietly. Concubine Lian, Chun Zhaoyi and the mother concubine are the best, but I haven't seen her so diligent.

"Okay, the concubine is all for your good, obedient. It's almost there. Luo Zixiao took his son's hand and walked quickly in the direction of Guan Ju Palace.

The mother and son arrived at the Guanju Palace but were empty, and Mo Xun, who came out to receive them, told Luo Zixiao that the queen sent someone to send a birthday gift, and Li Jingxi went to Fengwu Palace to thank her.

"In this way, the girl doesn't mind waiting for Sister Shufei to come back here, right?" Luo Zixiao thought that he couldn't come in vain, he had to see Li Jingxi's face.

"Where is Concubine Xian? You can come and see my master, it's too late for the slave to welcome you! But ......" Mo Xun changed her words: "But just now the queen sent someone to pass the word, saying that she went to Yongshou Palace with my master to see the child." After a few years of training, the clumsy Mo Xun has now become a big palace maid in charge.

"Look at the kids? What child? Luo Zixiao thought for a while, and then remembered that Mo Xun was referring to the orphan girl of the other race who was temporarily raised by the Queen Mother. She said with regret: "In this case, then Bengong will come back another day." ”

"Concubine Xian, walk slowly." Mo Xun sent Luo Zixiao out of the gate of Guan Ju Palace.

"Mother, let's go back?" Bai tossed a trip, and Yingzhe was slightly displeased.

"Of course you can't just go back! Let's go to Yongshou Palace and have a look! Luo Zixiao pulled his son to turn around, and was about to go to Yongshou Palace.

"Erchen is tired, Erchen doesn't want to go!" Yingzhe has always been well-behaved and sensible, but when he is not yet six years old, he occasionally loses his temper.

"Yingzhe is tired? Then let Aunt Jing carry you away, okay? Jinghua gently picked up Yingzhe and pinched his little nose dotingly. She can't have children herself, so she treats Yingzhe as her own and loves her in every way.

"Jinghua, don't spoil him too much! Now that you have made a nobleman, you should not always call yourself a subordinate. In the face of Jinghua's uncomplaining loyalty, Luo Zixiao had mixed feelings, both moved and guilty.

Jinghua, who was promoted from a beauty to a nobleman last year, did not feel that the change in status had brought much change to her life, and she still served Luo Zixiao's mother and son wholeheartedly. Jinghua shook her head with a smile and said, "The slave maid said that no matter what the slave maid is in the future, she will be the slave of the maid for the rest of her life." The slave and maid have never forgotten this, but the mother has forgotten? ”

Luo Zixiao patted Jinghua's shoulder and said movingly: "Jinghua...... Bengong also feels sorry for you...... "Forget it, it's useless to talk more, just if they understand each other's intentions."

"The slave knows. Let's go quickly, maybe we can catch up with the Queen Mother to stay for dinner at this time! A small joke from Shizuka dispelled the feeling of compassion, and the group continued on their way.
