Zhu Si said: "The queen mother is in good health, with white hair and red face, there is a way to be healthy and strong, and the queen mother can not only live a long life, but also bless her descendants." The Empress Dowager Cisheng shook her head and smiled: "You kid, you love to pick up some nice things." What kind of blessing descendants, as long as you don't dislike the two old bones of Gu and your mother, you will become old and immortal. "Every sentence that Erchen said is the truth, every time Erchen goes on an expedition, if there is no great event for the queen mother, he cannot take it, and he will be the mainstay of the vast ocean and the needle of the sea, where can Erchen put his heart at ease? What else is there to talk about restoring the ancestral inheritance? The Queen Mother shook her head and smiled: "Hehe, I'm lonely, and my spirit is insufficient." If it weren't for Pei'er, the kid, who helped with the cooking, everything could be taken care of in an orderly manner, and Gu didn't know how much to worry about. Zhu Sidao: "This is all thanks to the good teaching of the queen mother." The Queen Mother smiled and said: "If you want to teach, Lone loves to teach Xuan'er, a good grandson, as long as you can watch him every day, don't mention how happy you are." And Xuan'er, this kid, although naughty, is pure and kind-hearted, like you. ”

Zhu Si echoed: "That's, that's, thanks to the queen mother's teaching." "Huh? The naughty nature of your father and son was also taught by orphans? The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and Zhu Si hurriedly changed her words: "No, absolutely not, naughty temperament is innate, and this will change in the future." Yes, it must be changed! ”

After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother found that Zhu Si had begun to pretend to be stupid, and she didn't mean to follow her words. The two were silent for a while, and the queen mother pretended to look at the flowers again, and Zhu Si understood that the queen mother still wanted him to say a word. Just pretending to be stupid can't get around the old lady's mind. Although the Queen Mother is a mother-in-law and not a biological mother, his mother-in-law has always given him unreserved support. Today seems to be asking Zhu Si which child he likes, and the topic has always revolved around children. But Zhu Si understood that the old queen mother was actually asking him about a big matter related to the future of the country - that is, Lichu. Although there is not a single word in the topic of the mother and son that mentions the issue of Lichu, what you and I say about the mother and son is what they exchange is their respective opinions on Lichu.

Although the Queen Mother heard Zhu Si say which child she liked, Zhu Si also liked which one. But liking is just liking, not a promise. How could the Queen Mother be worried that Zhu Si didn't want to make Zhu Cixuan the prince? In fact, this is also the old lady is worrying blindly, and everything is messed up if she cares about everything. Xuan'er grew up in front of the Queen Mother since she was a child, and her grandfather had the ancestral training of establishing a long line. The most critical thing is that the Queen Mother's own son, Anren Wang Zhu Youyan, has passed away. The Queen Mother, who has experienced the loss of her child, has now concentrated all her love on her grandchildren. Especially this Zhu Cixuan, who has been by her side since she was a child.

When Zhu Youlang was young, the old lady had been educating him as a mother-in-law. After Zhu Youlang died, she raised Zhu Youlang as her own son. Today's eldest grandson Zhu Cixuan is the favorite grandson of the old queen mother, so the queen mother is afraid that there will be any accidents in the matter of establishing the prince, and she is afraid that she will not see the day when Zhu Cixuan will be established by Zhu Sili as the prince, so there is this conversation.

Zhu Si found that the Queen Mother had been admiring the flowers, and ignored him, so a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said: "Queen Mother, look at the largest and most beautiful peony over there, there are always countless bees trying to climb the stamen. The peach blossoms around are so small, if the biggest peony can hide among the flowers, will the hateful bees still be able to find it? If Erchen is that peony, even if it blooms the largest, most colorful, and most fragrant, it will definitely hide in the flowers to make it difficult for bees to distinguish, but the largest peony is always the largest, and even if the small flowers bloom no matter how fragrant and beautiful they are, it is difficult to replace the heart. ”

After listening to Zhu Si's vague promise, the Queen Mother finally felt at ease, with Zhu Si's reply, what else could she say? Zhu Si just wanted to protect Xuan'er and not give the ministers a chance to camp, and in reality, the three-year-old child was set up as a prince, but it was too early.

After the family enjoyed the flowers, they had dinner together, which was very happy. The good scenery of family happiness made the two queen mothers smile like flowers. The grandson is around the knee, the daughter-in-law is virtuous, and the son is filial, for the two old people who have passed the age of destiny, there is nothing better in the world than such a day. However, their family is the most special family in Daming. Too many people dream of being emperors, but who can know the suffering of the emperor's family? In order to restore the territory and the former glory of the Ming Dynasty, the only man in the family chose to fight in all directions, and for the mother and wife, they could only choose to support. Whether they want it or not, they must do the same. Because they didn't just marry the imperial family, but they married the entire dynasty. The men of the Ming Emperor's family, either fighting or sacrificing, are fate. The fate of the women of the Ming Emperor's family is to shed tears and wave their hands behind their men, sharing honor and disgrace with them. If the kingdom dies, the body will die, for they will never live alone. Hanging themselves and martyrdom on the Ming Festival, they will all have no hesitation. For example, Empress Yi'anzhang, the widow of Emperor Tianqi, who hanged herself after Li Zicheng broke Beijing, and Empress Xiaojie Zhou and Yuan Guifei of Emperor Chongzhen,

If the emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties can choose to be close, and the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty will be imprisoned and played with in the north of the country, then even if the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are defeated and imprisoned, they are also iron-clad, and the story of Ming Yingzong is believed to be familiar to many people. However, there is only one Ming Yingzong, and there is only one Chongzhen. Before Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, he killed all the women and daughters he loved one by one, because even if he failed, he would never choose the path of Song Huizong. The three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty have been fighting for most of their time. Even after Jiajing and Wanli, this bloodiness has not weakened at all. Ma Fang, Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Li Rusong, Qin Liangyu, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, there are countless fierce generals under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to say it anymore. No land, no compensation, no harmony, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. This sentence alone is enough to make every Chinese's blood boil, and Daming is just like the literal meaning of the word 'Ming', shining the sun and the moon, and sex like fire.

In the imperial garden, Zhu Si's mother and son talked a lot, and Mu Qing and Zhu Si supported the queen mother together, but they did not participate in the topic. After dinner, they took a walk back to the West Palace. Just sat for a while and drank a cup of tea, Mu Qing discussed going back with Shu Yao and Mei'er. Since Mei'er gave birth to the third prince Zhu Ciwei, Mu Qing also gave birth to Zhu Ciyi soon after, and Zhu Si allowed them to breastfeed by themselves, saying that this would reduce the chance of getting sick. Mei'er and Mu Qing are naturally willing, what mother in the world is willing to be separated from her child? The queen mother of the two palaces likes the two little princes the same, but they don't attach the same importance to it, so they let it go.
