When Tianqi saw the queen mention Wei Zhongxian, he said: "I fell into the water last year, and I was in this room after waking up, the queen doesn't remember?" ”

The queen stood up and looked left and right and said, "The emperor forgot if he didn't say about the concubines, and when he said it, he remembered it, as if it was here." I remember that the emperor was lying on the bed at that time, and the concubine was here to sue Wei Zhongxian, and it seemed like yesterday. ”

Apocalypse laughed and said, "Didn't the queen notice that this year has been different from before?" ”

The queen thought for a while, raised her head and looked at the apocalypse and said suspiciously: "As soon as the emperor mentioned it, the concubines remembered, the emperor has been different from the past year, what happened?" ”

Apocalypse smiled and said, "Don't say anything about what happened in advance, you answer a question first, do you think I was as good as I was before or is it better now?" Be honest. ”

The queen stared at the apocalypse and said: "The current emperor knows a lot of things, and he is more diligent in handling the affairs of the court and China than the previous emperor, but in the eyes of the concubines, they are all the same, because the emperor has always been very good to the concubines, and this has not changed." ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Then I will tell you the truth, after falling into the water last year, I said that it was true that I dreamed of Taizu, Taizu said to give me a year of diligence, and take a year to handle the affairs of the court, if I handle it well, I will continue to be diligent, if I don't handle it well, I will go back to the same as before." ”

The queen said: "The concubine thinks that what the emperor has done this year is impeccable, and everything is left to fate. ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "Yes, maybe my fate will be decided tomorrow, so I have to make arrangements in advance." The affairs of the court can be entrusted to Sun Chengzong and King Xin, and younger people like Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou are also trustworthy. You have something to discuss with Feng Siqin about palace affairs, this person is very smart. I have already written a will to Wang Tiqian, Yang Gongchun and Tan Jing, so that they will obey you unconditionally, and if any of them have two hearts, do not hesitate to make it clear immediately, so as to avoid the emergence of people like Wei Zhongxian. ”

The queen smiled and said: "Look at what the emperor said, how can it be like going a long way, even if you are as playful as before, can't you write down these words and read them yourself?" ”

Apocalypse shook his head and said, "No, everything has accidents, and I'm afraid that when the time comes, I'll be in trouble if I become stupid." If I become stupid, will the queen still be good to me? ”

The queen grabbed Tianqi's hand and said softly: "Even if the emperor really becomes stupid, the concubines will take care of you every day, and when your sons are born, they will help you raise them, and educate them to read, and then choose the best one to inherit the throne, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, the concubines will guard you every day until you are old and until you die." ”

Listening to the queen's emotion, Tianqi couldn't help but be a little moved, hugged the queen and held her in his arms, and he didn't want to leave under the emotion, but after thinking about it, he took a step back and held the queen's shoulders with both hands and whispered: "There are two things you have to remember, first, if there is really such a day, Feng Siqin will listen to you at that time, if she doesn't listen to you, then you will kill her in time." ”

As soon as he said this, the queen was shocked and asked, "Why?" Does the emperor know what she has done? ”

Apocalypse shook his head and said, "No, she hasn't done anything yet, I'm just on guard." Think about it, if she doesn't listen to you, it means that she is restless, a smart and restless woman, and then meets you, Chunying, Sanlang and other honest people, if you don't kill her, she will hoe you. ”

Seeing that the queen was still at a loss, Tianqi said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, just remember to think about my words when the time comes." The second thing, if I become stupid and Siqin, Chunying, and Sanlang give birth to daughters, let King Xin supervise the country. King Xin is my own brother, although people love to admit death but love and righteousness, even if I am not there in the future and he becomes the emperor, he will not treat you badly, it is difficult for others to say, this matter must be remembered. ”

Listening to the words of the apocalypse, the queen's tears rolled in her eyes, and she asked with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, what happened?" How can you say that life and death are the same? Don't say that, okay? When the concubine heard this, she was afraid. After saying that, he cried "woo-woo".

Apocalypse stretched out his hand to wipe away the queen's tears and whispered: "Don't cry, queen, I just said that, maybe I will become smarter after tomorrow, when the time comes, I will take you to the whole country to see your hometown, and then the queen will lead me as a guide, and introduce how you lived in your hometown when you were a child, how about it?" ”

The queen said with a smile: "If the emperor wants to go to the hometown of the concubine, we will change into the clothes of ordinary people, don't let others notice us, when the time comes, we will find my house, we will pick up firewood and cook by ourselves, and after eating, we can go to the mountains to play or go to relatives, what does the emperor say?" ”

This stupid woman, the days of good brocade clothes and jade food are just to pick up firewood and cook by herself, and it is not this romantic method to be romantic, right? You said that you went to the mountains to pick some wildflowers, weave a wreath, put on your head and pretend to be cute, I can understand, put on coarse cloth clothes, not to mention that you have to go to your relatives and be embarrassed, I really don't know what is in my head!

Seeing that the apocalypse didn't speak, the queen asked, "What's wrong?" Why didn't the emperor answer the words of his concubine? It's not going to be stupid now, is it? After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

Apocalypse said, "Oh, I'm thinking about a very serious question, which of us will pick up firewood and make a fire when the time comes. ”

The queen said angrily: "No, the emperor must be thinking about something else, and the concubines saw it clearly when you lied." ”

Tianqi hurriedly said: "After listening to the queen's words, I not only remembered the matter of collecting firewood and burning the fire, but also remembered Chunying, and remembered the nursery rhyme she once read to me. ”

The queen said, "How can the emperor be with one woman and still think about another woman?" Oh it's Chunying, what nursery rhyme did Chunying read? ”

Tianqi said: "Chunying tells a story about two mothers and sons, the child was only about five years old when his father died, and his mother took him to live alone. One day his mother was cooking on a fire, and the boy was very sensible and went to the house where the firewood was stacked and collected the firewood and grass and gave it to his mother to burn. Seeing that her son was so sensible despite his young age, the child's mother taught him a nursery rhyme, which said: 'Smoke, don't smoke me, I am the sunflower in the sky.' The dog picks up firewood, the cat burns the fire, and the rat laughs at me to death. 'Queen, guess how a child reacts to his mother teaching him nursery rhymes?' ”

The queen thought for a while and said: "A child who has been very sensible without his father and mother since he was a child, he must be very happy to listen to his mother teach him nursery rhymes, isn't it, your majesty?" ”

Tianqi shook his head and said, "No, the child cried on the spot after hearing it." ”

The queen asked curiously, "What is he crying about?" ”

Tianqi said: "This child picked up firewood, but the nursery rhyme taught by his mother said that it was a dog picking up firewood, although the child was small, he also knew that saying that a person was a dog was scolding him, and he felt wronged, so he cried." In the end, his mother had no choice but to change the nursery rhyme to 'The cat picks up firewood, and the dog burns the fire', so the child broke into laughter. ”

The queen laughed several times before saying: "It seems that children and adults have different ideas, by the way, the emperor, why don't you let Chunying, Sanlang and Siqin come over to accompany you tomorrow?" The concubines are also afraid alone, in case the emperor is really stupid, there are more people and more ideas. Also, call that Wei Xiaolan and Chen Mingzhu, the two of them, one knows medicine and the other knows martial arts, and there will be more strength when the time comes. ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "There are six people, and there are not a few more, and then call Zhou Qing, Zhou Bi, Tu Xuan, Liang Xuan, and Tang Xuan, when the time comes, you will play on the side of three tables of mahjong, and I will lie on the bed surrounded by a group of wives to meet Taizu, I don't know if Taizu should be happy or angry?" ”

The queen said: "I must be happy, because Chunying, Sanlang and Siqin still have the descendants of the old Zhu family in their stomachs, maybe Taizu originally wanted to make the emperor a fool, and make the emperor smarter for the sake of the face of the three children." ”

"It makes sense," said the Apocalypse, "since we are coming tomorrow, we will sleep here tonight." After saying that, he called the female officer of Shangyu to come in and clean up the room.

At night, the apocalypse lay quietly on the bed, and when he heard that the queen was already asleep, he slowly got up and walked to the table, reached out and fumbled with the key to open the lock on the box, took out the topaz from the tattered red cloth, touched the surface of the topaz with his hand, and then went to bed and lay down lightly. The night was already very deep and there was no light around, Apocalypse looked at the queen beside her, and in the dark night she couldn't see the face of a person clearly, only the silhouette of the queen could be faintly seen by the faint starlight shining in from the window. Tianqi wanted to reach out and touch the queen's face but was afraid of waking her up, so he thought about it and pressed the topaz on his forehead with his backhand, and said in his heart: "Gently, I'll go, just as I came gently, wave my sleeves, and don't take away a wife." ”
